a CORRECTION AND EXPLANA.
TION.

In nm editorial in this paper last
issue, the following statement was
made: "As II matter of fact, no doubt
every man, or ninety-nine out of ev-
cry hundred of them, (thc drafted
mem, who went away OH Tuesday,
were voters, or could noto if they
chose. If any Of these boys can
not vote whose fault is it?" Mr.. II.
y. Crockett, Chairman of the Rcpub-
lican county committee, calls the ed
itor down and says that not 40 per
cent. of the soldier boys can vote, that
many of them could neither read nor
write. The editor is glad to correct
the mistake as to number of men
Eho could not vote. He had no desire
to make wrong statement. He was
led into the error in placing II high
estimate upon the intelligence and
loyalty of Tazcwell young mon.
The gist of the matter seems to
oe, that under Democratic admin
Lrntion, these young men who cannot
vote are disfranchiscd. If these Young
men, or any others, cannot, or do no.
choose from Indifference or other
wise, to qualify themselves to vote
by paying the small amount of the
poll tax, $l.50 year, which money
goes into the school fund, then there
is nothing to be said except that thew
did not care II darn about voting, nnv-
way. We regret that mistake was
made in the statement of number of
voters, but this mistake does not ius.
Try the charge of wrong on the part
of the government in forcing men in
to war who cannot vote. These men
are going to war to defend their own
homes, ana rights, not the rights or
honor of the Democratic party of
Virginia. The sequel shows that il
left to their own choice some of them
many of them, would have been
as indifferent about their duty to go
to war as they seem to have been
about qualifying themselves to vote
their party ticket.

SORRY FOR THE BOYS WHO HAD

This letter was received last week
from Tazewell's five per cent. at Camp
Lee:
Dear Sir:
We received the magazines you
send us today and want to thank you
sweetly for being SO thoughtful of us.
We are all getting on just fine. Co.
E had competitive drill last week
with other companies in the camp for
trip to Richmond Fair. We came
out second to Co. A, but A put it over
the other companies that had won the
trip in the same contest. So we think
we are going some at that. We have
some pretty blue days in our sympa-
thy for the boys who couldn't join us
on account of their dependents and
keeping up their little (?) farms.
Especially those that ran all over
the country trying to enlist and then
get knocked out on industrial grounds
(claims). They couldn't keep in sight
of us in action if they were started
We will let you hear a little from us
along now and then, and more when
we get into it. Thanking you for re-
membering us, and with best wishes

of the most pleasing features Of the

come.
Only one new presiding elder was
made, DR.. w. S. Neighbors, who goes
to the Cleveland district. Rev. F.. A.

trict to take the place of DR.. Wiley,
who goes to Centenary Church, Chat

Rev. ]. f. Wolfe, our presiding ell

on the Tazewell district, comes back
to us. Wolfe stirred the hearts of his
preachers and people by his sermons
and talks on Benevolences, until his
great, rich district paid everything in
