he HAS OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
OUT FROM CATAWBA.

a man giving his name ns Floyd,
and his home Norfolk, Va, where he
has IL wife and two small children,
appeared on the streets of this town
one day this week soliciting money to
defray his railroad fare to the Gov
ernmcnt sanitorium in New Mexico
FOR consumptivcs. The man, nppnr-
emily in the early thirtics, was cmn
GATED and weak from the ravngcs of
tuberculosis and unless he gets relief
quickly will not be on his feet six
months longer. When asked why he
didn't go to Cntawbn he snid he had
tried for year to do so, but was told
That there WAS no room, that the SAN
itnrium is already ovcr-crowded. 1t is
u shame and disgrace to this great
State, that provision is not made to
save the lives of the unfortunate men
and women, who are afflicted and bur
dcned with disease which if taken
IN time can be cured, but if not death
IS absolutely certain. And too, the
necessary provision for caring for
consumptves can he provided nt II
trliling cost. Why don't somebody
go to work at this thing?

REPUBLICAN SPEAKING.

T. J. Munsey, of Bland county and
Mr.. Hall, from Indiana, spoke to II
large audience in the Court House
last Saturday in the interest of the
candidacy for Congress of Mr.. Slemp
Mr.. Hall was introduced by Ex-Sena-
tor j. N. Harmar. The speech of the
gentleman from Indiana was on a
high plane and was listened to atten
lively by large number of the lead
ing citizens of the county, both Re-
publicans and Democrats. The speak
er is right much of free lance in
politics, judging from many of hi:
utterances, which were not in accord
with the Republicans in this county
Mr.. Hall is bitterly opposed to n pre-.
parcdness program, stating that he
was almost for peace at any price
He argued strongly against the pre-.
paredness of this nation, stating that
the nations of Europe would be i'm.
poverished and debt ridden for fift.
years to come. and that this country
had nothing to fear.
He was followed by Mr.. Munsey
who made his customary "soup-house'
speech. Mr.. Munsey has many per
sonal friends in this town among tn,
Democrats, who sympathize with hin
in his efforts to make the dear vot
ers believe that the country is in s
dickens of fix.

RUIN AND WRECK AFTER THE
WAR.

Do the Republican speakers mean
and believe what they say, when they
tell us that panic and business ruin
will follow the close of the great war
Why, then, do they wish to shoulder
shattered and ruined government =?
1t isn't true and those who make
the prediction do not believe it them
selves.
Why do they not tell the people
that large increase in our exports
is due to the sale of products other
than war munitions and with which
the war has nothing to do. And
also, that the government has eX-
pert commissions and large corpora
tlons have commissions already mt
work here and in foreign countries
already, laying plans based upon sci
cntiiic investigation, looking not only
to- holding what we have but to a
wide extension of future trade with
these countries, and these commission.
ers declare that our trade and COM
mercc, instead of being curtailcd, will
be greatly extended after the great
war is over. This is not put forth as
I political promise, but rs cold
statement of fact. But Republican
orators keep these facts in the back
ground.

AVIATOR FOR TAZEWELL FAIR
WILL ARRIVE NEXT WEEK.

Monte Rolfc, the Famous High
Flyer of the Young Aeroplnne Com
pany's fleet of Flyers, will arrive here
one day ahead of time, and have his
machine set up and on the ground
ready TO fly. Rolfc is considered one
of the best aviators in the country,
and he being an Englishmnn he may
be able to tell us some stories about
the war; his work is said to be very
sensational; he will change his pro-
gram as much as possible each day
Young Rolfe recently flew in Cam
ton, ILL.,, for which he received $500. 90
for one dny's flying. This is as much
as the loop aviators get, and they
must have thought Rolfe some nvn-
tor to pay this price. The Canton
Press, and the committee, praise him
and say that if any one wants to
know anything about Rolfc to ask
them.
Rolfe flew over Los Angeles re-
Gently, and have every ones goat. He
flew over the city, Dipped and divcd,
and twisted his plane so that every
one thought he would certainly fall
and break his neck; in fnct some of
the remarks that were heard would
lead one to think thnt the crowd felt
that he would.
Some of the remarks overheard
run like this: Look ut that fool Av-
iator; he cretainly has no sense, or
he would never take such chances"
Great Scott, look ut him now"
Say Bill, if he ever falls, look out for
your bean"
The chief of Police said he would
have Rolfe arrested, but Rofc had
been tipped off, not to land within
the city limits, and after he thought
he had created enough disturbance.
he flew to Grinith's field and phoncd
the police. The chief told him to come
in, but warned Rolfe never to fly so
close to town again. lie told him to
remember the three mile limit.
The above is not intended to give
Sergeant Thompson tip, but that
1t might be n good thing TO be on
the lookout, so that no one is on the
grounds, when he does come down.
Rolfe has been engaged for an cx-
hlbition of his stunts nj the TaZewell
Fair, and the attraction will be -.
feature of the occasion. His ability
as an aviator, and his unusual daring
has placed him among the foremost
i'll the ranks of the airmen. adv.

The Supreme Court of Appeals of
.Sirglnln, at it's Staunton term, on
the Board of Supervisors of Tuzc.
well County against the Norfolk and
western Railway Company. This
case IS of interest to the people of
county on account of its bearing on
public roads generally.
III seems about two years ago the
Board OF Supervisors brought suit
aEnlnst the railroad company. in
which II asked that the railway COM
nany be required, first, to furnish
the county with Il road equally ns
convenient MS the old road taken bv
the railway company twenty eight
years ago, between Raven and Do
ran; when it constructed its Clinch
valley division through Tazewcll
county, and the Board also claimed n
right OF way thirty feet wide for
county rond purposes, and second,
That the railway company be re-
CURED to build approaches to the
rond ill.
Quite lot of evidence. pro md
con. was taken in the case. and ON n
hearing, of tho case in the Circuit
Court, the court refused to grant The
relief prayed for, and dismissed the
case at the cost of the Board of Su-
pcrVlsors. An appeal from this do
clsion was taken by the Bonrd of Su-
pervisors to the Supreme Court, and
m IT'S opinion on the llth inst, the
supreme COutr reversed the Circuit
Court III part, by requiring the rail
way company to construct the nm
pronchcs to the Raven crossing. und
iliiirmlng IL ns to the remainder of
the road between Dornn and Raven.
and giving Judgment against the rail-
way company for costs. which will
amount to about $500. The Board OF

OUR FAIR
NEXT WEEK
Aviator, Who Will Soar in the
Clouds Will Arrive Early i'm
the Week-Edict Against
Drunkenness and Disorder
Will BE Enforced.

The Board of Directors of the Tazc-
we'll Fair Association have issued an
edict against drinking on the Fair
grounds next week, and have authoriz-
cd the large number of special police
man and officers to arrest every per-
son who is seen drinking or under th,.
influence of whiskey, and lock them
up. There has been at previous
Fairs tragedies and accidents due
solely to the drunks, and the man
agcmcnt of the Association has de
termned to break up the practice,
if the jail has to be filled. Those citi
zens who expect to come TO the Fair
to get drunk had better stay at home.

chance of his life. He can never rct
such an audience in Taewell unless
he puts Mr.. Hughes or some other
celebrity on exhibition.
A very intelligent lady who heard
M.r Trinkle, remarked: "Finc.
sounds like old Botctourt," and the
editor of this paper said, "Amen!
Amen!"
If the opportunity offers our friend
T. j: Munsey will flay Trinllle alive
for dubbing him "Soup- House Tom. ("
The address was aptly styled, "the
old fashioned gospel of the old-time
religion in modern DRESS"
One we'll known Republican, sitting
near the front, said, after the speech
was over, "No, l didn't like it, I'm
goin' to vote for Slemp." Ii this broth
er were asked, "Why are you Repub-
lican?" We'll wager dollars to dough-
nuts that he couldn't give an intclli
gent answer. There might have been
time when an answer of reasona
BILE force could have been given, but
that time seems to have passed.
There was hope that the once great
and powerful Republican party would
have resurrection to life and use
fulncss until it allied itself with Il lot
of men-the same old lot of reac-
tionaries who helped to wreck it. I'm
til it cuts loose from it's old moor
ings there seems to be little hope.
Another party may be built upon its
ruins by Mr.. Roosevelt and others, but
it wont be the same party.

TUESDAYS ECHOES.
lRv IL M. 81

Why didn't they get counter at
traction here Tuesday. There were
a bakers dozen Of Republicans in the
audience who might have been Saved
to the party"
If our friends the enemy had one
speaker like Trinl1le, and one griev-
ance to complain about, they would
be in better case.
We have yet to hear any Repub-
lican spell-binder with courage enough
TO glorify Slemp's vote for the eight
hour law.
Those of them who heard Munsey
and the "Hard Shell" from Indiana,
and then sat under Trinllle, must be
asking themselves questions.
If Slemp was right in voting for
the eight hour law, let us ask the
primary class if the President was
right in proposing it.
Maine voted 1880 majority against
Cleveland, and yet Cleveland was
elected. Names average national
majority has been $4,000.
Trinkle didn't say that Wilson
would rather be right than be Presi-
dent. He did much better. He prov
ed it by his magnificent record.
Slemp has a "tapper" in every cleo
tion precinct, whose duty it is to re.
port any wobbling among the faith
full: The report goes to the bouncer
and then to the boss.
The Tribune: AS shown in Maine
Hughes fight is merely personal and
Hale's fight was Hughes fight, but
he got no support from Hughes and
the leaders are wandering why.
And summing up the Herald says:
The tangle in which Hughes has in
volved the campaign is 'just meas.
ure" of his fitness to be President In
the. greatest crisis of modern civil.
Zation.

speech at Graham. The newspapers
report was critical in the extreme.
The inevitable conclusion is that the
speaker made speech that will do
good for himself. and his party.
MIR. TRINKLE's CROWD AND AID
DRESS,
1t is unsafe and unwise to predict.
from the size of n crowd and the
character of the address of the speak
er, how the voters will vote when cleo
tlon day comes. but the size and en-
thusiasm of the crowd and the nature
of the address delivered, has its sig
niiicance.
Judging from the large attendance
here Tuesday new interest is being
taken in the Democratic doctrine. Mr..
Irlnkle spoke to a packed house. The
door and the halls were blocked by
people trying to hear the speaker.
The crowd was composed of Demo-
Gratis from all sections Of the county,
and also number of leading Repub-
llcans. About two dozen ladies were
present. The remarkable thing was
that this large crowd, uncomfortably
Jammed, remained, manv of the au-
dience standing throughout the entire
address. Whether out of curiosity
or whether from an earnest desire to
hear what the candidate had to say,
cannot be definitely or accurately
written down. Nevertheless, they re-
manned and more attentive, respect
full audience no man ever addressed.
1t is only fair to assume that an au-
dlence of such responsibility as Mr..
Trinkle faced on Tuesdav-an au-
dience of mature, thinking men and
women, were not there from idle Gu
riosity, as was evidenced, as stated
that they not only listened attentively
but remained during the more than
two hours, showing no signs of rest
lessness, but the most intense interest
to the close.
AS Mr.. Trinkle said in his splendid
address, this is new day. The coun-
try is not the same as four years ago.
The people ar reading and thinking
as never before. This hide bound,
partisan political prejudices of years
ago, in both political parties, is pass
ing out rapidly and forever. Mr..
Irinkle is man of the new order.
he had new and vital things to say,
and he said them with wonderful
anu eSiiiS cheCI anu CIle large crowd
went away satisfied and more.
The unprecedented prosperity and
peace of the times in which the people
are living has had wonderful effect
upon the people. If man wishes to
talk about these things he can get n
hearing anywhere now. But il he
comes to regale the people with lot
of by-gone issues-if he is looking
backward instead of forward, he is
likely to moet frost even in hot
weather, as are most of the Repub-
lican speakers now, whose avowed in
tentions declared to be, is to over
throw and tear down laws and insti-
tutions in which the whole people are
rejoicing. Trinkle came to Tozewell
as the preacher of good tidings of
great joy" to all the people, and the
people heard him gladly. Not only
here but elsewhere it is the same. He
said that the audience in Tazewell,
the largest seen here for sometime,
was not as large by far as those he
had addressed so far, in other parts of
the district.

full. The aviator, on one Of his flights,
was above the clouds and out of sight
of the crowds below. This company
will exhibit at the Fair next week
and will be great sight. This races at
the Bluefield-Graham Fair are said
to have been good. In the running
races Wednesday Dan and Archle
Thompson from Tazewell captured
