SECOND MEETING OF LAW AND
ORDER LEAGUE.

The second meeting Of the Law and
Order League held at North Taze-
well last Sunday afternoon was very
we'll attended. Nearly every COM
munity in the county was represent
cd by the highest type of citizens. A
gooly number of ladies were present
and gave the assurance that they
were heartily in sympathy with the
movement, and that they would glad
ly cooperate in every way possible.
1t is evident from the temper of
this meeting that the citizens are
awakening to the seriousness of the
situation that is before us and are
becoming determined to see to it that
the officers enforce the laws.
Mr.. Scott from Pocahontas gave u
brief account of the dynamiting OF
Mr.. Rickman's home which was q
result of Mr.. Rickman's efforts to
have the law enforced in his own
town. This is an indication of the
methods used by the lawless element
in this county.
Several committees have been ap.
pointed and things are now getting
under way we think to get some re-
suits. The next meeting will be helt
at Graham at 2:3O p. M, Sunday

SLEMP ISSUES SHARP WARN
ING TO DEMOCRATS.

Washington, Feb. 11.-"It would
be narrow-minded. unfair and indec-
ent TO redistrict Virginia so as to
eliminate the one Republican men,
ber now in Congress-" Representa-
tive c. Bascom Slemp, of the Ninth
District, said here today, with refer
ence to reports that there is move
ment among some Democratic lead
ers in Virginia to do this.
MIR. Slemp added that it would he
very shortsighted policy, further
more, and gave warning that if such
n step is taken the Democrats may
expect retaliatorry measures of con-
siderable severity from the Republi-
cans. In this connection he recalled
that in recent caucus of the House
Republicans he was the only member
| standing in opposition to reducing
Virginia's representation, in the House
from ten, as at present based on the
States population, to six members
based on the number of persons who
vote.
Mr.. Slemp remarked that in the
next Congress the Republicans vii
have two members for every Demo
crat in tho House and majority Of
twenty-five in the Senate, and thai
with every Republican in Congress.
out of sympathy with political met
hods in the South it will be well fol
Virginia to move slowly in trying t,
eliminate her only Republican Rep
resentative.
| "This is such n fnarrow-mindet
view" declared Mr.. Slemp. "that
+! do not believe for one moment tina
any success will attend such move

ment. The Republican party at the
November election, even under the
unfair registration and election laws
Of the State. cast two-iifths OF the
vote of Virginia, or approximately
100000 votes for Harding, to l5O 900
votes for Cox. In fairness the State
should send three Republicans to
Congress. To deny them all repre-
sentation would be so unfair and so
indecent that it would shock all fair
minded men and women in the State,
and ! may say would be resented by
Republicans generally in the nation"
Rcdistricting. il is pointed out, is
a matter of State legislation, and
any action of party autoritics would
be merely persuasive. A committee
of the Legislature is now engaged in
preparing a plan to redistrict the
State as to State Senate and House
districts. but it was not directed to
report us to Congressional bounds.

SIXTY INDICTED
BY GRAND JURY
Memories of Witnesses Improv.
ing and Prohibition ViOlators
Must Pay the Penalty-As-
sistant to States Attorney

More than sixty indictments wcr,
returned yesterday afternoon by tho
grai2i jury against persons in this
county for violations of the prohibi-
tion laws within the past twelve
months. Included in the list are many
men of more or less prominence in
the business life of the county, and
many of them old offenders, who
have been dealing in illicit liquor for
years and have so far escaped the
penalty of the law.
Commonwealth's Attorney Spratt
was busy nearly all day yesterday
preparing Indictments, and advises
us that owing to the large number it
would be impossible to have the list
ready to be printed this week, but in
the next issue the full list will be
printed.
The good government league hns
employed attorney George C. Peery.
of the law firm of Chapman Peery 4
Buchanan to assist in the prosecu-
ton of the men indicted for violat-
ing the prohibition laws, aiil it was
reported yesterday that the Com
monwealth will not agree to con-
fession unless the person desiring to
confess will agree to accept impris-
onment as well as fine, or term
on the county roads. The trial of
many of the cases will be begun Mt
once.
The grand Jury has performed its
work so well that the court and COM
monwealth's attorney were much
gratiiied ut the thoroughness of their
work, and the impartiality shown.
The Jury was composed of these gen
tlemcn: G. j. Moss, foreman; w. A.
THOMPSON. T.. r. Howard, A. II. Bcav-
ers, c. N. Barns, G. w. Hurt II. G.
Fox. j. +. Litz, John Pruett, John
II. Peery. Il. A. Repass.
w: p. Wyatt, charged with boot
Logging. upon confession, was given
thirty days i'll Jail and fined 500.

FREIGHT RATE. KANSAS CITY.

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. ID.
Editor Clinch Valley News,
.Tazewell, Va.
Dear Sir:
The impression seems to prevail
among some of the good, citizens of
Tazewell County, that the freight
rates from Kansas City to TazeweII
on live stock are more than double
the rates from Chicago to Virginia
points. This is altogether wrong, rs
the rate from Kansas City is only
about fourth more. or very little
difference and this difference is more
than covered in quality Of cattle pur-
chased on our markets (Kansas
City, over the Chicago cattle which
is evident from the. fact that thous.
ands more cattle are purchased in
Kansas City than in Chicago by iii.
inois stockmen and other middle west.
ern states and the bulk of the good
cattle going to Chicago are forward
ed from western markets.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF LUTHERAN
CHURCH.

The recent connection of the pas
tor with the Tazewell High School
quickly convinced him that Tazewell
has very excellent school of which
she may rightly be proud, most
promising student body both of young
people, and corps of teachers un-
iquely fitted for their work. The sight
of so many bright, gifted children
brought to him the challenging ques-
ton, "To What Spiritual position do
the homes of Tazewell point these
future citizens ?" The Gospel accord
ing to St. Matthew. 10: Cliff. brings
to us the striking lesson of "A
"Mother and Her Conquering Pray
err" Our friends, parents and chill
dren, are most heartily invitdl to
come and consider the truths of this
subject with US on Sunday evening
at 7:30. There will also be services
on Sunday morning, the subject of
the sermon being "The Heavenly
Harvest, or the Wheat and the
Tares."

he did not believe the Legislature OF

slightest degree" by the statement of

tricting the State.
"The white people of Virpinin "
Mr.. Flood Snid. "hnvc had to fncc
force bill Republicans and those who
advocated II reduction of their repre-
sentation before, and never qunilctl
before them. They aided in the "7os''
under the leadership of Samuel ].
Randall in defeating force bill Re-
publicans; they aided in defeating
them in the ZOOS" under the Leaders
ship of German, Daniel and Fnulk-
ncr, and they will have to defeat
them again and believe will be MS
successful against rrinkham and
Slcmp as they have been against
force bill Republicans in the past"
Continuing, MIR. Flood said: "Mr.
Siemp represents II district now with
more than 100000 population, and
some districts of Virginia have less
than l60 600. Under the npportion
mcnt bill, as il passed the House Of

ton for congressional district is
243,OOO. The Legislature of Virginia
will, as far as possible and practic
able. carry out this work whether il
