THE REPUBLICAN ECONOMIC
WAVE.

President-Elect Harding has en-
tered protest against an expensive
inauguration on March 18th in the in
teres Of government economy 1t
seems that an economic wave has
struck Washington, and, goodness
knows it is high time.
The largest, or certainly one of
the largest items on the national
budget is the appropriation for build
ing ships, and for big navy, which
amount should be greatly reduced,
and would be, if the peace pact be-
tween nations was agreed upon and
put into effect.
Then would follow disarmament,
and prospect for universal peace
on earth. AS long as the nations con-
tinuc to build battle ships and pile
up arsenals and train armies, there
is no expectation of peace, between
the nations of the earth.
Southern and Western States are
fearful that this Economic wave" in
Congress may extend to the appropr-
iations for road building, and i'll
terfere seriously with the program
already mapped out by the Roads
Associations of the various states.
The bill gives the states 100 million
dollars year for five years, and it
is stated that some of the Republi-
cans are protesting in the interest OF
government economy. 1t is hoped
that this important scheme Of road
building, which effects so largely and
vitality the progress, as well as hap
piness of the people, will not be
halted by any penny wise and pound
foolishness of Congress.

CHAMP FERGUsoN,s REVENGE.

Editor News:
A few weeks ago you published an
account of the killing of prisoners of
war after the fighting at Saltville,
by Champ Ferguson. Ferguson was
ut that time, about SO years of age,
and Il civilian. He was never a CON
fcdcrate soldier. He was mount
ainecr with great grievance, which
was directed against the pro- Union
list of his neighborhood-spe
ly by name.
After the "IIome Guards" were or
ganized they went to Fergusons
home. burned it, finished the day of
outrages by stripping Fergusons
wife and daughters, and then had
them marched up and down in the
presence of the assembled Company.
Ferguson came South for temporary
safety and REVENGE.
He sworc to slay these people on
sight. Thereafter he was implacable
iiendish and fearless. AS opportunity
offered he was Judge, Jury and ex-
ccutioner.
Whether you approve his course
or condemn il. you can certainly I'M
dcrstand his view point, and altho
we cannot reproduce the tense feel
ing of chaotic war times, we do

but in this glorious and free coun-

lions, and an answer to the question
is not an easy one. Tazcwcll, and

sccratcd man, who will step to the
front, and put Tazcwel in such po-

occupy. There is much needed to be
done. Will such Il man step forward
and make this year memorable in our

people, want to be led. We will fol

confidence in his sincerity and abili-

man who possesses the ability to do
just this thing. We will not name
him now for reasons. There is moro

fill the bill
The question, who's who in. Tazc-
well? should not be difficult to am
swor before another year rolls by.

COL. BROWNING a HISTORIAN.

According to published statements,
Col. Jas. S. Browning is to write n
history of the Readjuster movement
in Virginia-.a movement which
shook the State from the mountains
to the sea, battle of the giants Of
those days, n history unknown to the
younger generations and almost for
gotten by even the older people. Col
Browning was in the thick of the
fight, and possessing retcntivc
memory and the ability to express
himself, is well fitted for the task.
We take it that his writings will be
put into n book, and if 50, he may
put us down for copy in advance.

HAS THE CRIME WAVE STRUCK
TAZEWELL?

Within the last week or so sew
eral hold-ups have occurred in this
county. Only one of these so far as
reported, proved successful.
On last Friday, two men held up
Mrs. Walter Letfcl, at her home on
Clear Fork, in the absence of her
husband, and ransacked her house
taking about twenty dollars, and es-
capped. Officers, with blood hounds
were put on the track of the bandits,
trailing them to point on the noun
tain, near the Burkes Garden road,
where the trail was lost
The circumstances of the robbery,
as gathered from Clear Fork re-
ports, were about as follows. Mr..
Leffel had gone to neighbors early
about o'clock. Mrs. Leffcl was in
the yard, perhaps feeding the chick
ems, when the two men appeared
suddenly around the corner, and
commanded her to keep quiet on
penalty of her life One of the men
guarded her while the other one
went into the house, opening trunks
and drawers, until he found the
money, about $1,000, when they both
fled to Clinch mountain where all
trail of them was lost, as stated. She
was unable to say, according to one
report, whether the men were blact;
or white, as they were masked. This
was the boldest act of the kind ever
known in this county.
On two other occasions recently
two parties were stopped in the roat
along about Mr.. Phillip Baugh's
place, and money demanded, but
nothing taken.
The opinion is expressed, that
these hold-ups and deprcdations
were committed by men who lived
away from Tazewell, and probably
were men who had been employed at
the lumber camp near Grafton, and
had been laid off.
However this may be, it will be
wise for the people in the country
to be on the look out for these out
laws. The country seems to be in
tested with such at this time, every
where. The shutting down of many
large plants and small ones as well
has turned loose an army of men
who need to be watched when they
make their appearance in a commun-
ity. Tazewell is having her quota OF
trouble with moonshincrs without thc
addition of band of highwaymen

THE FATE OF FATTY

In a very few days Fatty Arbac6le
the rotund film star who has dealt out
mirth to millions will appear before the
court to answer to the charge of man
slaughter, incident to the tragic death of
Miss Rape. Right now many are guess
ing at his fate, and it goes without say
ing there are two sides to the controver-
sey.
We are not attempting to cast guess
as to his fate as far as the coming verdict
is concerned, but we do say that on an
other charge Fatty Arbuckle is so inhu.
manly guilty that he is consigned to the
grave of oblivion in the minds and
hearts of the best thinking and right liv-
ing Americans, and all such Americans
will not want to look upon his disgust
ing features again.
We refer to the fact that his step
mother is compelled, and has been for
many years, to take in washing to earn
her bread and butter. Hundreds of thou
sands, yes, millions of dollars have crowd
ed themselves into the Golfers of Arbuc-
kle's strong box. He has lived like q
prince, in luxury and extravaganza.
Through his lavish spending Of money he
has had the whiskey vender, servants
pretty women and brilliant men at his
beck and call. When he reached San
Francisco to answer to the charge on
the occasion Of the death of Miss Rappe
ne carried with him five thousand dollar
in green backs thinking that would keep
him from going behind the bars. FATTY
ArbuclSle in his mad career has figured
that money would buy him anything, vet
his soul was so small, and his conception
CT right and Justice so insignificant that
ne would not use one dollar of his wealth
to keep his step mother from breaking
her back over the wash tub.
That alone is enough to cast him into
the discard, and no matter what the re-
suit of the trial may be, let it be the YER
dict OF every American that no man who
so far forgets the woman who took the
place of his mother, and no doubt made
2 good mother to him, shall ever be al
lowed to appear before the public on the
screen. On that point let the die be cast.
