BUSINESS OUTLOOK
CROSS-CTRRENTS

CrOSS-cuTrentS, uncertainties. and
shifting views with their usual de-
pressing effect on business will mark
the pre-inauguratiOn period. The
political uncertainties of cam

at a time Of profound readjust-

lowing the most mOmenlOuS war in
history.
Demands upon the present session
of congress are so many and va
ried that not One-third can receive
attention. Congress must spend
considerable time in farming appro-
priation bills. Political writer's free

While business may show an i'm

make their appearance before

considerations. a change in admin
istratton alone precludes that turn

REPUBLICANS
CARRY MAINE
New England State, In Which
Democrats Made League of
Nations Fight, Gives Unus-
ually Large Majority.

The Republicans have been rejoic-
ing, since the election in Maine Mon
day, in which the entire Republican
State ticket was elected by 10000
majority. There has been a saying
for years that as Maine goes so goes
the nation, but this did not hold good
in 1916.
The Democrats ran behind their
normal vote in the State.
The Republicans, it is said, had
and used large campaign fund, and
had n compact and strong organiza-
tion, while the Democrats had neith-
er. If there is consolation in this,
the Democrats can console them
selves. 1t would further appear that
the women in Maine voted the Repub-
lican ticket. Two things should be
said-one is that the Maine electo-
rate were more interested in home
than foreign questions, and the other
is, that the old saying Gas goes Maine
so goes the nation" is not true. The
State went Republican, of coutse,
being a Republican State, in 1916,
when President Wilson was elected.

TIME FOR QUARTERLY MEET.
ING CHANGED. g.

Owing to a change made for the
time of the Quarterly Meeting at
Daily's Chapel, it was not held, as
was announced, on the eleventh and
twelfth. But it will be held on next
Saturday, the 18th and Sunday fol-
lowing. We want all officials of the
church on the Maxwell charge to be
present on Saturday.
There is much for the Stewards to
10 to be ready for this, the last
Quarterly Conference of the wear.
The revival at Dailys is still going
on and will go on until the time of
the Quarterly Meeting, unless there
is an unexpected close. We again
appeal to the people and especially
Gods people to come out and help
US. Give us your earnest, prayerfuI
support, and, also, your presence in
person when possible.
The devil needs good licking in
this community, and with Gods help
and the help of the people, we will
give it to him.

FOR THE PATIENTS AT THE
COUNTY FARM.

Mrs. P. D. Johnston, who is lead
ing i'll the very commendable effort
to establish rooms at the County
Farm for the sick, deserves the
hearty and substantial coop ration of
the entire community. The benefit
show given ut the Theatre recently,
resulted in collecting something like
S5O.OO as beginning. The plan IS,
according to Mrs. Johnston, to eouip
ut least two rooms in the main build
ing there where inmates Of the Coun-
ty Farm, who may become i'll, NAV,
under the advice of the physician. be
placed, and good treatment. under
favorable conditions, may be given
AS heretofore, and now, the sick
have been compelled to remain in the
building with all the other inmates,
under not the most desirable con,
ditlons, to say the least
Two single beds, with necessary
covering etc., will cost only about
$4,000, thinks Mrs. Johnston. and
surely this small amount should be
easily forth coming from this we'll
to-do community, without the neces-
sity Of giving concerts etc for the
purpose of raising the paltry sum
needed.
The poor, and particularly the sick
poor, have claim upon us all. Mrs.
Johnston is looking for the citizens
who will pass to her checks for n
good sum. This paper would like to
have the names of such benevolent
citizens.

MOONSHINER
HAD TWO GUNS
Jonas Grouse, 81 Years Old,
Captured at Pistol Point Near
His Still" OH Laurel Creek
by Tazewell Officers.

Jonas Grouse, we'll known young
man OF Laurel Creek, was captured
near that place last week by County
Policeman John S. Thompson, Of
Tazewell and r. r. Smith, of North
Tazewell. Grouse is charged with
moonshining, and will have to en-
plain to the court why he was so
near "moonshine still" with KEYS
to the locked doors when he wns
arrested. He was brought here to
jail and later gave bond for appear
ance in court.
The two officers received tin
sometime ago that such an institu-
ton was in full blnst on Laurel
Creek, and were given minute d.
rections rs to the location of the out
fit. They journeyed in that direction
last Friday, and took n roundabout
route to the designated point. They
soon located the still by smoke from
the chimney, and were within few
feet fthe log house where the liouor
was being made whom they located
the distiller few feet below the
still in corn patch. They saw him
nrst, or neither of them might be
mere to tell the story. Thompson
leveled his blue steel gun on Grouse
and ordered him to throw up his
hands, which he did after some arau-
ment. The two ofIiceroB searched the
man and found pistol in his pocket
besides shot gun, fully loaded.
which he Carried. They tied his hands
together with handkerchief. md
started to town with him.
On the way he escaped from tho
two men, and made an effort to reach
n laurel thicket few hundred feet
away. Smith tried the shot gun on
him.. and as the cscapee continued
his journey Mt grcnter speed, Snr-
geant Thompson called to Smith TO
chase him, which Smith did with
great success. The man was nut
back in the car and brought to town.

A CAMPAIGN OF MISREPRESEN
TATION.
(Editorjall

From the character of the an
nouncements for Republican sneak
ers in this country, it seems clear
that our friends have decided upon n
campaign of misrepresentation, if
not misinterpretation, instead of n
campaign of education. Perhaps not
one voter out of every one hundred
have ever seen copy of the League
of Nations, and the guess NAV moi
be far wrong that the speakers who
are to address the voters have never
read the document. They have read,
perhaps extracts, and criticism bv
the enemies of the League, but no
further. 1t was hoped that there
would be an honest presentation of
the real meaning of the League, and
not a, purely partisan discussion.
Let not the people, particularly the
women voters who are specially in
vited to attend these meetings, be
carried away by the enthusiasm of
partisan politicians who are out
at SO much per day to "beat Cox and
