TH0S. A. edison
declares FOR WILSON
NOTED INVENTOR, LIFELONG RE-
PUBLICAN, GIVES REAS-
oNs FOR SUPPORT.

Saratoga, N. Y. Sept. 3.-Thomas A
Edison. lifelong Republican and a
strong supporter of Roosevelt's can
didacy for the Republican nomination.
made announcement today of his in
tention to vote and work for Woodrow
Wilson. He gave out the following
statement:
mot since 1860 has any campaign
made such direct call Of simon pure
Americanism; the times are too ser
ious to talk or think in terms of re-
publicanism or democracy. Real Amer
leans must drop parties and get down
to big fundamental principles.
More than any other President in
my memory Wilson has been faced by
a succession of tremendous problems,
any one of which decided the wrong
way would have had disastrous conse-
quences. Wilson's decisions so far have
not got us into any serious trouble, nor
are they likely to.
HE has given us peace with honor.
This talk about the United States being
despised is nonsense. Neutrality Is a
mighty trying policy. but back of 1t are
international law. the rights of hu-
manity and the future of civilization
with reference to Mexico, / think
that the President has acted wisely,
justly and courageously. It was right
that the United States should not have
recognized such a murderous PERSONAL
ity as Huerta. do not believe that we
should intervene now. Mexico is trou-
blesome neighbor just now, but war
and conquest is not going to make her
n better one. Both against England and
against human slavery the United
States worked out it's salvation through
revolution. and 1t was pretty slow
trying process.
ut has been said that Wilson at first
was against preparedness. Perhaps he
was. but when convinced intelligent
public opinion was overwhelmingly in
favor of it. he changed. That is the
proper thing for our President to do.
A President defiant of public opinion
would be dangerous man in our sys-
tenn OF government.
They say he has blundered. Per-
haps he has. But notice that ho usu-
ally blunders forward"

sADDLEBAes OF
FAMOUS GRANDFATHER.

w. X. Spurlock, well known citizen
OF Wayne, recently having been rec
commended for the Office of postmaster
of his home town. came down from
Charleston yesterday having in his pos
session much priced article This was
an old pair of saddle bags which be-
longed to his grandfather, the late Rev.
Burwell Spurloek, who preached the
gospel in Wayne county before and for
a few years after the civil war.
There are not many people yet liv-
ing who remember Rev Burwell Spur
lock well. He was born in 1888 and
came from Greenbrier with his father
at an early age, He was man of ex-
ceptional intellect and. without oppor-
tunity for systematic schooling, read
and studied until he was deeply learn
ed. He was an itinerant Methodist
preacher, known throughout the noun
tains as a flaming light Of righteous
ness.
Even after the war, when he was old,
he continued to preach and work among
his neighbors. He died in Wayne in
1879 at the age Of eighty-nine years.
In his rides through the mountains
he used saddle bags, and when his rid
ing days were over, he gave his sad
diebags to Judge James II. Ferguson,
another mental giant. Judge Ferguson
used the bags until the time of his
death, upon which he gave them to Ma
jor Joseph Chiffon. OF Charleston.
During his visit to Charleston this
week. young Mr.. Spurlock came into
contact with Major Chiffon. who soon
learned that he was Rev. Burwell
Spurlock's grandson
Saying that he had something in
which he would be interested to see
Major Chiffon took the visitor to his
home and showed him the saddlebags.
The incident ended in the presentation
of the saddlebags to the grandson of
the original owner. It is believed that
these saddlebags are at least 100 years
