"LITTLE PAT" LOWE.

Do you remember Little Pat Lowe
He was perhaps the first boy to sell
papers at North Tazewell. His moth
CT was OF is, if still living, Mag
Lowe. living at North Tazewell. She
left the community years ago, and
has been lost sight Of. Not so with
Pat. His real name is Garland. Two
letters have been received from him
here rccently-one by the ditor of
this paper, and one by General Man
ager, c. r. Larimer. Pat writes that
he is now in Jail in Lexington, Miss
issippi, on a charge of murder After
committing the murder he escaped
and was making his way to Texas,
when caught in Arkansas, and taken
back to Mississippi, and lodged in
Jail, awaiting trial for his life.
The boy expresses the hope that
some of his old friends in Tazewell
will write to him in his distress. A
word of cheer will no doubt be highly
appreciated.

MATEWAN AFFAIR STILL A
pTIZZI Il

So many conflicting and contradic-
tory statements have been published
about the Matewan riot and murders,
that il is impossible to state anything
definite. One article said the Bald
win detectives were responsible, and
started the trouble. Another equally
reliable paocr stated that the miners
or officers at Matewan started the
trouble.
And so, n report today may be con-
tradicted tomorrow. Two things on
which all agrce-onc is that the re-
gretable, disgraceful and bloody affair
was all unnecessary, it matters not
who started it. There was no reason
why matters should not have beer
compromised without resorting tc
blood shed. The devil was ut tho

FINE TREES IN PHILIPPINES
Nowhere Are There More Enormous

Of the islands.

Until we fell heir to the Philippine
islands we had no dense virgin tropl-
cul forests belonging to the United
States. The Hawaiian islands are we'll
within the tropics, but the topography
of the islands is not such as to lnduce
the gigantic growth Of trees. Ihere
are no denser or more enormous tree
growths anywhere in the world, now
ever, than are to be found over great
areas of the Philippine lowlands. The
soil is of excessive richness, the ram
fall is heavy, and the climate combines
to induce a riotous tangle OF vegeta-
lion which is unimaginable to those
who have not actually seen 1t or are
familiar only with the orderly ana usu

esfs of the far West, which cut more
hoard feet to the acre than any other
forest lands in the world, cannot COM

forest. They impress yoa, 1t Is tr9e'

He came before the Judge brilliant

the case the court attendants agreed
that the east side Beau Brummel not
only carried off the first honors but
that he surpassed any multicolored
display that had appeared for many
moons. The famous coat of Joseph
had nothing on the complainant, even
without the overcoat. The brief man

made the court attendants believe that
such screeching regalia was warm
