SOMEBODY HAS LIED.

(FrOm the Lebanon News.)
There is lust about rs much truth
in the article appearing in the Ora
ham Daily News that there were
numerous attempts made in Russell
by democrats to steal the late election
rs there was in the Giles Jackson
lie which seems to have originated
from the same source. Galloway
III his department in the telegraph
makes this charge against the Rus
sell democrats and the poor old Tazc
well Republican actually believed it.
or wanted TO believe it, lie OF no lie.
and published it, too. Every thing
dirty that the Graham scribe can
rake M against Russell people he
does it and always adds. cts Govern
or Stnarts county" 1t is Governor
Stuart's home county and every Rus
sell man, woman and child is proud
Of it.
The editor of this paper took the
time and trouble to investigate this
charge and could find not a Repub
lean or Democrat in Russell who had
heard of attempts ut fraud
If the Democrats had wanted to
steal the election in Russell they
could have done it. 1t was in their
power
These Republican papers are Just
mad because the Republican party
cannot make Il dent in the dcmocra-
cy of Russell county. Their fraud
charges are made for an cbicct-to
prejudice the ignorant voters who
read these papcrs. Certainly they
do not give il to their readers ms
news or they would have told them
about the fraud committed in this
county by Pen Crockett. Slcmp's pri-
waite secretary. his pleading guilty
to the indictments. throwing himself
upon the mercy of the court and nav
ing a $500 fine and costs.
If these papers heard rumors of
fraud in Russell by democrats why
is it that they did not hear that in
the last election Sam lessee. n re-
publlcan worker ut one of the Eli
Garden precincts, paid two men $40
each to sta" away from the election
and to buy TURKEYS for him on cleo
ton day. Mr.. Jesscc does not denv
II and says the money used was not
rs. Al the Lebanon precinct Tom
Williams, another republican worker
offered q man 500 to steal one of
the official ballots. and he does not
deny 1t. lessee and Williams are our
friends and we Just mention this to
show the Inconsistency and rotten
ness OF the Republican claims of The
fraud. No county in the State has
purcr elections than Russell. notwith
standing elections in this county are
always hot'-- contested.

Out where they heed the boss no

Out where the folks are little

Out where they care naught for the

Out where Wilson took the lead,
Out where the people are not ruled

Out where sceitno divisions cease,

the United States in our civil war.

THE PURE-BRED ASSOCIATION

Inc Improvement of the live stock
of Tazewcll county is of interest to
every citizen of the county.
!. Because it will greatly increase
the value of the live stock produced
IN the county. thus giving everybody
who breeds, feeds, buys, sells. or in
amy wcithcr either directly or indi-
rcct'y derives all or Il part of their
income from the cattle industry.
greater profits on the money invested,
consequently increasing all kinds of
oanAlng and mercantile business.
:. Because 80 per cent of all the
men familiar with the cattle indust-
try OF the county say the cattle we
now produce are not as good as
'hey were ten or twenty years ago.
~. Because connection is strong.
we compete not only with our next
door nclghbor. who thinks the ier-
sey scrub" good enough but with
progressive cattle dealers ali over
the United States.
i. Because the people of all leadino
counties of Southwest VIRGINIA, Jour
immediate compcttiors) are RAPIDLY
improving their stock, thus, compar.
a'lVeiy, lowering the standard of our
cattle on the market.
.. because beef production is our
chlel money returning industry and
we should develop it to the highest
state of efficiency.
The Tazewell County Pure Rred
stock Association, Inc, should have
inc hearty support and cooperation
OF every citizen of the county
/. because permanent and general
Improvement can be made best bv
cooperation, if, indeed, it is not the
only way it can be done.
2. Because of the well known fact
that we can do more by cooperation
than by individual effort. For exam
pie, look what the railroad EMPLOYEES
got by cooperation? Don't saw our
people wont stick together, fall in
ana do your part. with confidence. for
we know we can succeed.
B. Because individual effort has
tears down.
d. Because we have seen the good
results ana success of a co-opera-
i've movement for stock improvement
IN our ncighboring county of Rus
b. because we know who will be-
benefited by the work of the Asso-
cation.
&. Because the Association cannot
n"ke success unless it has the sup
port Of the people.
Z. because YOU do not wish to par

IRE sure to reap without giving the |

SOME FACTS ABOUT THANKS

Thanksgiving, as we all know. came
to us from New ENGLAND. but the
New England Thanksgiving was not
much like ours. The first one lasted
swcok instead of a single day. L.
was lmst year after the Pilgrims
landed. They had suffered dreadful
~ during the first winter. and had
lost about half their own numbers
bnt they had had good harvest, and
after 1t had been gathered i'm thev
made merry for whole week i'm the
lovely autumn weather. The Govern
or sent four men to shoot wild birds

turkeys, because the Pilgrim records

We had two ThankGgivings in the

The farmers organizations of the
country at large are bitterly opposed
to an embargo on foodstuffs design
ed to reduce the the prices of wheat
and other stuff they have to sell. So
there you are.
AS was said in this paper in its
issue last week, what one class wants
another class does not want. The
farmers say they are paying advanc-
cd prices for all their farm neces-
sities, and cannot afford To reduce
prices of what they have to sell
