REV. CAPTAIN BARTLE IN TOWN
YESTERDAY.

Dew. S. d. Bartle, the Presbyterian
pastor of Norton, was here yesterday
interviewing Colonel John w. st.
Clair, of the Tazewell Military Com
pany on various military questions
Mr.. Bartle has been elected captain
of the Norton Company, which num-
bers 81 men and has already been
inspected and mustered in the service
of the State.
Mr.. Bart el has recently visited
Fork Union Military Academy, where
his boy and number Of other young
men of this section are students. lie
says Fork Union is fine school and
that the Tazewell boys are doing fine
ly. The school, he says, seems to be
short of uniforms. The cadets should
have mad theirs months ago, but some
body has blundered and the boys arc
still in civilian clothes, but still have
hopes and promises.

NEW SCHOOLS COMPARED WITH
THE OLD.

a large amount of deep thinking,
says the New York Times, with not
II little of anxious questioning, is in
progress among the many, many pco-
pie who have had opportunity and oc-
cnsion of late to note the amazing
changes, every one of them obviously
for the better, that arc effected in
young men by II few months, often
by few weeks, in one of the military
training camps. There is nobody. now,
who has not seen ut least one more
or less awkward and slouchy young
stcr thus turned into n fine, upstand-
ing specimen of humanity, with the
quick, decisive movements that come
from good health and abundant vital
ity and in almost every case II little
questioning reveals that the improve
ment has been as much mental as
physical.
These boys nrc now thinking about
large things instead Of small ones
they have acquired ideals md cnthu-
siusm that either were lacking before
or were unrelaizcd and uncXpressed;
artificial distinctions and false no.
tions as Ia what constitute superior
ity and inferiority have in great
measure disappeared from their minds
and they have gained entirely new
and vastly higher standards by which
to estimate success and failure in life.
They appreciate thci responsibilities
rs never before, and they have learn
ed that personal sacrifices for the
common veal can give more happi-
ness than the winning Of any kind of
selfish profit
Apparently these camps are better
schools for body and brain than any
we have had before. Certainly no
such marked alterations can be seen
as soon. or even ever, in the boys that
go to college no matter how much at
tcntion the college gives to athletics.
And yet nothing isdonc at the camps
that could not always have been done
wherever education" is offered,
whether free Of for price. The drill
masters have no secret methods and
they have made no new discoveries.
None of us is ready to admit that
for a nation at war is preferable to
peace, or that the soldier is neces-
sarily the highest type Of manhood,
but there is no denying that, in some
most important respects, war is doing
| for these young men what peace did
not do for them, and why it did not
do all this and more is u question
that again and again forces itself on
the attention of the thoughtful. Our
educational authorities would do well
to take that question under instant
attention and have their answer ready
the moment the war is over.

at Camp Lee
Co. ID, 3lSth Infantry, Camp Lee,
Va, Nov. 20, 1917.

Va, Nov. 20, 1917.
Editor Clinch Valley News:
am sorry that we were not hon
ored by your presence today Mt our
Thanksgiving dinner, knowing ms do
that you are so fond of good things to
eat. | would have been glad to hnvc
seen you lined up i'm our mess hall en-
Joyng with us II real Thanksgiving
dinner. We had most everything that
heart and appetite could wish for
spread before us and the fat young
turkey, which | wns told came from
the Clinch Valley district, and the
several kinds of dressings with cram
berry sauce was sufficient to make
your buckwhcat cakes and molasscs
shiver with fear that they would be
exempted and the word Stacker"
written across their face, TO say moth
ing about the pie and cake and Gig
ars that were passed around to put
on the finishing touches.
We all enjoyed our dinner very
much and we are thankful that I'm
Gle Sam thought of his boys in line.
We get good, wholesome food ev-
cry day and plenty of it, and the best
of all we have Il good corps Of olli-
GERS that are giving us good treat
ment and using every effort to make
camp life pleasure to us.
| wish to say that all of the folks
back home should be proud of their
boys in line. for, believe me, the
Tazewell boys are all making good.
We have the honor of being the best
on the filed in Il great many xercis-
es, and il is an easy matter to pass
along the ranks and pick out the blue
grass fed boys, from the line. They
have the pep and sand in their craw
and we are going over to show Kaiser
Bill what we've got and we are not
coming back until the Stars and the
Stripes are waving over Germany and
the world set free.
| You boys that are yet to come here
to answer to your countrys call will
find your Uncle Sam kind hearted
old gentleman. OF course, you will
find that he has few ideas that ap.
pear funny to the new beginner, but
as soon as they are leared and obeyet
all is well, for obedience is the first
and last duty of Il soldier
We are all well and getting along
fine. We are all doing our best to
keep old Tazewcll on the map. We al
ready have spot on the map that
won't rub off and we are going Il
keep it there if we never see our blue
grass section again.
With kindest regards to you all,
am, Yours very truly,
j. w. JONES.

SIOuCHINESS.

In recent speech by one of the
leading officers in the United States
Army, he stated that the failure OF
most unsuccessful applicants for re-
sponsib!e positions and duties was due
to the fact that the applicants were
slouchy in manner, slouchy in mind
and slouchy disposition.
Slouchiness is habit which can
be readily overcome in most cases.
The young men who have had army
training have dropped their slouchy
ways as easily as one puts off gar
ment.
Mental slouchiness is plainly seen
in the carless action and drilling of
the new recruits.
After several months drill in the
hands of an old drill master, who at
times seems almost bitter in his fault
finding. we begin to see a most re-
marliable change in the young mans
bearing, not only in the ranks, but in
his every day life. The old hap-haz-
zard way of walking and brighter
and more intelligent appearance than
before.
If my sons were not in the army
would feel at my duty as father to
see that in some way they would
be able to obtain the primary instruc-
tions of the American soldier.

PROF. MARTIN RESIGNS.

Prof. ]. B. Martin, princip ! Of the
Tazewell High School, Las resigned,
his resignation to take effect at the
close of the year.
Professor Martin said to reporter
for this paper on yesterday after
noon that he resigned with much re-
gret, but that the continued illness
of his wife, and his aged father and
mother demanded his presence and
attention at his home and only a
sense of stern duty had forced him
to take this step. His resignation
will be deeply regretted by all the
school people, and the entire COM
munity. No steps have been taken as
yet to elect successor,

tions being that the liquor had just
been stored there. Nobody cl;.imcd it.,
however, and it was taken TO the Of
flee of Squire Landon. where it was
impounded. Brother Hickman, the
well known minister of PocahOntas,
came up about this time, and took Il
list of the wet goods, to make sure
that none of it escaped destruction.
The Commonwealth Attorney ad-
vises us that during all this commo-
ton and excitement in Pocahontas,
the Pocahontas officers were conspicu-
Gus by their absence, he having much
difficulty in finding Il man to give as
tance in the raid.
1t is believed by the officers who
made the raid that the liquor found
in the rear of the Adams saloon, was
moved there between the time they
arrived in town and the time of the
search.
1t is also reported that another
we'll known Pocahontas boot-leggcr
got wind of the raid and turned back
with Ford full of liquor and hid it
in the mountains.
Adams has employed able counsel
to defend him and the trial next week
will no doubt be interesting.
