of the company to the towns of Tazc-

immediate adjacent territory, and the
that end in view it is earnestly hoped
that the men of. the two towns be-
tween the ages of 1S and As, who
have not Joined will do SO at once. A
meeting of the organization will be
held in the High School building to-
night, at which meeting it hoped
that all the members and those who
would like to join will be present.
AS has been stated the object of
the Virginia State Volunteers is to
do the work that has been heretofore
been done by, the State Militia, altho
the entrance requirements and duties
OF the Volunteers are not as strict as
those required by the Militia. Govern
or Stuart has urged the Tazewell peo-
pie to get up the company as in these
troublesome times need Of some or
ganized force in this section might
develop at any time.

In the Liberty Loan, Red Cross

others, the newspapers of the coun-

more than the country weeklies. In
fact, the success Of these campaigns

STATE ELECTION
NEXT TUESDAY
Westmoreland Davis, Will, OF
Course, Receive Usual Demo-
cratic Majority-Go to The
Polls and Vote Early.

According to George Manning, Mr.
Slemp gave an interview in which he
stated that the Democrats were TAX
ing an unfair advantage of the war
in forwarding the interest of their
candidates. 1t such statement is
true no report of it has reached the
newspapers. The only instance
known here is that Republican
speaker reminded large audience,
i'll which there were number of
men leaving for Camp, that the Dem
ocrats did not. consider the soldiers
good enough or fit to vote, but emil
nently fitted to fight, or words to that
effect. This is the only instance
known in this. Office where capital
was attempted to be made of the war
and this was by Republican.
Where are and who are the minis
ters who will vote against Mr.. Dnv-
10 next Tuesday on the ground that
he is a "wet" candidate? Ministers
are accredited with being level head
ed and sensible men. Sometimes, how
ever, they are not unlike the rest of
us-lillely to be somewhat wooden,
headed, light headed and wobbly in
their political codes, but not gener-
ally so. and they may be expected to
line up next Tuesday on the right
side.
The Fighting Ninth" will be found
on the firing line next Tuesday. No
slackers or deserters.
AS the Democratic. nominee is
pledged to support his platform, so is
nnp pnt lin nrtr
pledged to support its nominee.
1t is your duty to vote. If you
have not qualified for suffrage priv
ileges the fault and loss is your
own, also your state and country
should have the influence and support
of your vote.
Next Tuesday is election day in
Virginia for candidates for State Of
iices.' No one doubts that the DEM
ocratic ticket will be elected, but no
Democrat should stay away from the
polls. The ticket should be overwhel-
mingly elected. Let's give big, rous-
ing majority and hearty rebuke to
the candidates who are trying to fool
the people with false cries and false
issues.
Republican foolishness has never
shown up in stronger light than
in the effort made during this cam
paign TO revive the dead issue of
prohibition. The question has been
settled at the polls, once for all. Mr..
Davis has pledged himself to up
hold and enforce every law on the
statute books of the State, one of
which prohibits the manufacture or
sale of liquor in Virginia. What more
can be expected or required?
