ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Tomorrow, Feb l2th. one hundred

coin was born, in the "hackwoods'
of Kentucky. His Humble obscure
birth and surroundings are well

Through all the years he has been

From the poorest. humblcst home in
the wilds of the west, To the highest
office within the gift of the greatest
nations on earth, reads like II fairy
tale. The busy, bustling rc c<lcss years
that have passed since. have not

Richlands, Va, Fob. 9TH
| note in your last issue an nc
count of Law and Order League

see it. Hope it gets tho support of
every loyal citizen of Tazcwoll Co.
am glad to see also that they
are willing to make them selves
known. One trouble with enforcing
the prohibition law, is seems, has
been heretofore, every body seems
afraid to come out and say where he
stands-and don't see why, for the
state and nation is back of it.
1t doesn't speak well for Tazewell
County us n loyal, law abiding peo-
ple that law that is state and
national lw should be so hgrantly
violated. There are some sections Of
our county where moonshine whiskev
has always been made and think
you would naturally expect the law
to be broken in TINT section; and il
that were all it would perhaps be
easy to control, but when il comes
to the educated intelligent people To-
Gated in the heart of the county open
ly and every day breaking the law,
then it is time to get aroused. That
is all we need. | know there arc
enough law abiding citizens In this
county to put this thing down. Let
us stand together and do it. We cnn
and feel we will. Let US women and
men get behind this Law and Order
League and make it go.

never had before and it is their duty
to use it in the use of the bnllot, and

Officers Did All They Could.
A few Weeks since, prohibition of.
ficers found large distilling outfit

ready for distillation, mt the prem
ises of well-known violator of the
prohibition laws in one of the coun-
ties of Southwest Virginia. This man
tolls not at any legitimate, honest
vocation, neither does he spin. Yet
his bank account approximates high
in figures and he drives one of the
best automobiles that come to town.
And when he does come to town he
is given the glad hand by city dads
and some church members. The Of
ficers indicted him in the circuit
court. The case against him was
clear-cut and conclusive and it was
predicted that he would get long
term in Jail. But those who SO rcck-
oned failed to take into consideration
the influence that n man of this
character wields. The officers were
on hand, ready and willing to tcs-
tify against him. but his case was
settled out of court by the payment
of nominal fine, without the knowl-
edge of the officers, who were the
only witnesses against him. The pal
try fine paid was cheap license. The
prohibition officers were not to blame.
They did what they could to bring
him to Justice.

Don't insist on the merchants TO
