NEITHER WET NOR DRY.

The Times Despatch, known rs IL
wet paper and a Tucker support
CIR, says cditorially. under the cap
ton, candidates neither wet nor
dry" that Mr.. Trinkle and Mr.. Tuck
er arc neither wet not dry, that the
candidates, have "for the most part
risen above and beyond the old wet
and dry issue. Both MIR. Tucker
and MIR. Trinkle have declared them
selves in favor Of rigid enforce
mcnt of the laws ON the statute
books" The mention of MIR. Trinklcs
name in the columns of the r. ID.
has been remarkably infrequent SO
far during the campaign, and natur-
ally, as the Il. ID. is an avowed sup
porter of Mr.. Tucker for Governor,
and some surprise was experienced
that Mr.. Tucker and Trinklc should
have been placed on the same pinnclc
side by side in the editorial referred
to.

here it is: Mr.. Trinlle voted on Sen.
ate bill No. ll8, in the affirmative
for the dispcnsary bill which was
bitterly assailcd by the prohibition
ist as IL means of rc-opcning the
State to the evils Of the liquor traf-
lic, and which they eventually sue
cccdcd in killing in the House.
The truth exactly is that Mr.
Trinklc was not a member of the
Senate when the $50 called dspcn-
sary bill' was passed by the Senate

South Richmond speech from which
the Times dispatch quotes.

interest here, as well as property.
Two Young men came here soon aft
ter the town started and began
mercantile business near the Rudi-
sill hotel, known as Baber Bros.
They both unfortunately lost their
lives in the burning of hotel on
St. Clair street.. conducted by Robert
Miller. One of them was burned in
his room. The other jumped from the
second story window but fell on the
fence, or paling, in the alley, and
died Immediately. Their brother, John
L. Baber, came to Pocahontas lit
tie later and, together with Walter
]. Turpin, established store. Lat
err Turpin left and Baber continued
the business for several years when
Turpin returned and again the firm
name was Baber and Turpin, bat
Turpin left again, ard died later in
the city of Lynchburg. Mr.. Baber
continued in business until 1910,
when he sold out to the present firm
of Elicit and Frazier, and removed
with his family to Lynchburg
Speaking of the Rudisill house it
was i'm that hotel that the we'll known
story originated about the prominent
man who came to Pocahontas, ar
irving on u night train and stopped
at the Rudisill house, where he was
taken up flight Of three stairways,
or to the third floor of the building,
and he was given u room for the
night. The next morning when he
p, awoke Il mule had his head through
an open window The man found to
his establishment that the mule was
standing on the ground on the out
side of the building. This gives some
idea of the haste and kind of con-
struction Of some of the buildings.

Wilson family was at the wheel at the
time of the accident

THRILLING CLIMB IS
MADE UP FLAG POLE

Sans advertisement, sans any pub
liCity whatever, visitors to the loon
at shortly after Z a. m this morning
were given an unexpected thrill when
they watched Gus Krause, a lineman
for the telephone company, climb to
the lofty heights of the wooden flag
pole on top of the court house. Mr..
Krause climbed the slender wooden
pole as easily as though he had been
going TO the top of a ladder, and did
not apparently experience any Of
the breathless sensations the watch
er3 on the ground felt,
The pole, and metal ball which was
at the end, were shattered recently,
when the county building was struck
by lightning A few days after the
flash occurred Mr. Kraus climbed to
the top of the pole and sawed off the
shattered section. He then fastened
a pulley to the top, in order that a
flag might be raised over the county
building on July 4th.
Today he again made the climb, to
fasten a bright brass globe and a
rope to the top of the pole

round his body and the pole, and put
on spurs before attempting the
climb. The pole unlike the staffs on
most public buildings is not in the
center of the county building, but is
at the north edge of the building.
Had Mr. Krause lost his balance and
fallen in making the ascent, he
would probably have been hurled to
the ground about $50 feet below.
