PRESIDENT WILSON
SLOWLY RECOVERING
Continued Progress Over Period
of Five Days Reported by the
observation-disclosures From
Crowned Heads.

Slow, but continued, progress over
u period of five days els brought such
an Improvement in President Wilson's
condition that his physicians announc-
ed Wednesday that he was stronger
than at any time since he was taken
III, two weeks ago, according to an
Associated Press dispatch of yester-
day.
Encouraged by the patients prog
ress,. Rear-Admiral Grayson, the
Presidents personal physician, let
him sit up in bed part Of the day,
but insisted on keeping his attention
as far as possible away from official
business. Unless something prgent,,
requiring attention should develop,
it is the plan to continue his confine-
ment to his room for the present and
to insist that he take the opportunity
for real rest.
Mrs. Wilson, who has been in con-
stance attendance on the President
during his illness, went for an auto.
mobile ride today for the first time
since he was confined to bed.
Messages of sympathy reached tho
White House yesterday from the
heads of four nations-Presiden
Po'ncare, of France; King George, of
I'HSi,llui Ming Albert, oil Belgium,
and the President of Colombia. Mess
ages also came from the Government
of Armenia and Earl Curzon, Of
England. The cablegram from Pres
ident Poincare said:
81 want to convey to you, Mr.. Pres
ident, the wishes thaI have already
asked Mr.. Jusserand to transmit to
you. | have been very much grieved
to learn that the long fatigue of work
in which you took so active part in
Paris added to that which you i'm
posed on yourself in the United States
have temporarily shaken your healt...
l form the warmest wishes for your
speedy recovery. + beg Mrs. Wilson
to receive my respectful homage as
well as the best souvenirs of Madame
Poincare, and begsto renew to you the
assurance Of my sentiments of friend
ship"

WANT TO help :
TAKE CENSUS?
Thousands of Men Will BE Need
ed for Work to Begin First
of Year-Bristol Headquar-
ters for Ninth District.

The Director of tho Census. Hon.
Sam. l.. Rogers, announces that 80.
600 enumerators will be needed to
take the next census. The work be-
gins on january 2 and will last about
Two weeks in cities and month moro
IN rural districts. Rates of pay will
vary, depending upon the locality anu
character of the district to be can
vasscd. The. average pay per enum-
orator Mt the census of 1910 was
about $40. At this coming census il
will probably be not less than 500.
Active, intelligent, and reliable
men and women, not less than IL
years of nge, nre needed for this
tnsk," said director Rogers, "and, In
u sense, this is n call for volunteers.
The Importance of complete and re-
liable census. especially in these crit
lcal times when more than ever be-
fore perhaps we need complete data
regarding population, conditions, ten
denotes nnd resources, can hardly be
vcr-cmphasized. The reorganization
of the social and economic structure
and tho readiustmcnt of international
relations necessitatcd by the war
must be based on accurate knowledge
If we are to net wisely and deal just
ly with NIL classes and all interests
II is hoped. therefore, that public
spirited energetic people throughout
the country will voluntccr to net Nh
census enumcrators oven though thoy
may not caro- for the positions so fan
ns the pny is concerned. l should be
sorry to think, and do not believe,
that all our patriotism was usdo up
by the war and none left over for
public service in times of peace"
Boiling ii. Handy, supervisor Of the
census for the ninth district of Vir-
ginin. which includes the counties of
razcwcll, Russell, Buchanan, Dicken-
son, Lee, Scott, Wise, Smyth, WASH

THE HIGH SCHOOL.
School Aetivities-New Life.

New life is being injected into all
ofthe activities of the school this
year, including classroom work, lit
erary society work and athletics. The
laboratory method is being used
wherever possible. Working upon this
basis the one literary society has been
divided into two societies, with equal
membership. This work will be con-
sidered as laboratory work for the
English classes. Miss Reba Johnson
is president of one. and Mr.. Garland
Stephenson is president of the other.
Both societies meet October 10, at 2
p. m. The public is cordially invited
to attend any or all of their meetings.
The outlook for athletics is bright.
We have good teams in basket ball
for the girls and boys. Miss Ollie
Kate Gillespie is captain for the girls
and Mr. Sam Leece is captain of the
boys team.
In the games with Graham High
School Friday, the Graham girls won
10 to 5, but the Tazewell boys won
10 to a. Both games were well play
ed. Captain Leece for the local boys
distinguished himself by making II
points alone. Every member of the
team played well. So did the members
of the Graham team.

AS to the Soldiers.
fCo,-,,,,,n;oofadl

Human memory is sometimes short
| We do not like to consider ourselves
as guilty of ingratitude, but in for
getting facts, we also sometimes ov-
erlook duties. 1t has been long since
the boys of Tazewell county, in small
groups, at different times, gathered
in the Court House to receive words
of good cheer that we wanted to give
them as they obeyed the call of their
country and went away to fight its
battles. We who stayed at home felt
our hearts and minds responding to
the words of the speakers on those
occasions when they told those boys
that we stood back of them; that we
appreciated the sacrifices they Were
making in leaving home and busi-
ness to assume the burden of uphold
ing the honor of the country of which
we are all citizens, and in which the
duty of citizenship rested upon us in
no less degree than upon those who
went to fight. And SO they went, and
struggled to break the grip of the
German war machine from the throat
of free government. How we'll they
performed their tasks and how nobly
they justified the confidence we had
in them is glorious chapter in this
country's history.
AS result of their work we at
home were allowed to live in peace
and plenty, far from any sound Of
battle; to have our share of the great
est era of prosperity that ever visit
ed our land; to go undisturbed in tho
building up of our business and tho
establishment of our professions.
Some of the boys who made these
things possible for us didn't get back.
Others who have come back are now
trying to get started in their busi-
ness or profession and to competr
with those who never had to lock thr
front door and go away. We who
praised them and told them and told
them nothing was too good for them,
now have chance in some instancea
to make our words mean something.
We have one Of these boys in this
county who is asking our people to
support him for the office of Common
wealth's Attorney. He is Mr.. X. G.
Patty. He volunteered in his coun-
try's service just as he was finishing
his law studies. We believe he is fit
ed for the office to which he asDires.
We suggest to the citizens Of the
county that they bear the facts in
mind when they mark their ballots.
+, Let us not forget that we told these
hays when they went out to fight for
10 VOTER.

offenders claimed they were meeting
in hall on the county road, and
were not violating any law of the

from the l. w. WIS, threatening "to
get" the police and deputies, precipi-
tated the raid. The officers, upon
searching the headquarters of the
radicals, found the official records
with the names of 1877 members of
the society. Immediately all of these
square, where all were forced, one
by one, TO kiss the American flag,

all but seven outside the town limits

Immediately. Strong guards took
the seven principal offenders to the
