WASHINGTON, May 11.--Whilc
the president desires the country TO
know he Is for peace, he II also for
firmness in dealing with the sltua
tion growing out OF the sinking OF the
Lusltania by German submarine.
Those best informed OF developments
following the loss of American lives
on the Lusitanla felt sure this was the
construction to be placed upon the
presidents address at Philadelphia
and his subsequent statement today
that his address wasn't an expression
Of the policy as TO the Lusitanla but
merely expressing his personal views.
The president held an extended ses-
sion OF the cabinet today understood,
It Is understood the Lusitanla situa-
ton was discussed but neither eabl,-
net members nor the White House
would make a statement
An official close TO the president
said. There is to be no uncertainty
in handling the Lusitania situation.
When the president speaks the coun-
try will be proud of him.

clared he would have nothing to add
to the statement Saturday regarding

the people expected him to "act with
deliberation and firmness.

Mrs. Margaret Heldreth.

Brief mention was made incur last
issue of the death of Mrs. Margaret,
wife of Mr.. j. j. Heldreth, one Of
Tazewell's oldest citizens. Her death
was sudden, due to heart failure. On
Thursday afternoon about o'clock,
she walked down to the barn, or lot,
of her son in law, John Barnet, who
lives next door, to look at young
crw that she felt an interest in. On
her return, she was suddenly strick-
en- with smothering, fainting spell,
and called for help. She was carried
into the house, a physician sum-
moned, and her sons notified, but be-
fore any of them reached her bedside
she was dead.
The body was prepared for burial
by undertaken -Greever, and funeral
and burial took place on Saturday af-
ternoon. Rev. R. B. Platt, jr., and
Rev. c. R. Brown conducted the SER
vices.
Besides an aged husband, she leaves
three sons and two daughters, viz:
Thomas, Joseph, and Lee Heldreth,
Mrs. Brown Barnett and Mrs. John
Barnett, all living and worthy citizens
of this community.
Mrs. Heldreth was a quiet, genial
woman, highly respected by every
body who knew her. She was a men,
ber of the Lutheran church. For the
past few years Mr.. and Mrs. Heldreth
had about retired from the active du-
ties of life, and were carefully and
zealously provided for and looked
after by their children. Mrs. Hell
dreth's health had been better, appar-
emily, this winter, than for several
years past, and her death was a sur
prise and shock to the entire COM
munity. The universal expression is
"She was a good woman" Much
sympathy is expressed for the aged
husband and her children.
Mrs. Heldreth was daughter of
John and Katrina Daugherty, of
Wythe county. She was born Feb
ruary 29th, 1874, and was therefore a
few days past II years of age at her
death. She had two sisters each born
on February 28th. Fifty years ago
in next month, April, she was married
to John Jefferson Heldreth. The
family moved to Tazewell in the
Spring Of 1889. One sister, Mrs. A.
j. Simmerman, of Wythe county, is
the only surviving member of hei
fathers family.

JOHN McGRAW.

The report reaches this Office, wheth-
er true or not we are unable to say,
that "the powers that be" have de-
creed that John McGraw must be
turned out as Superintendent of the
county farm, and the place given to
some one else. We says again, we do
not know how much truth there is in
this report. 1t is to be hoped that
there is nothing in it. Anyway, we
wish to enter firm protest against
any such action. John McGraw has
made good, has made money for the
county, is a good man, has got sense
and industry, and there is no reason
or sense in displacing him for an un-
tried man. McGraw and this writ
er do not belong to the same political
party. This makes no difference. The
counyt farm should not be .l,nded
around as political plum with which
to pay political debts, as the general
county office is. He is the right man
in the right place.
This is written without Mr.. Nc
Graw's knowledge or request. We
have had no word from him on the
subject.-Ed.
