which are large taxpayers, are also
active in their support of the river
route.
The persons in favor of the new
location down the river and up In

water route clear through and that
there Is less than miles difference
In distance. and will accommodate
hundreds Of moro people. and will
conHect tho business localities in
such a way that great benefit will
result, and that it will give direct

The act of the Legislature provides
that the state highway shall run

Rosedalo, Lebanon. etc. So far IA
we are advised. the location of the
highway has not been fixed from the
Burlc's Garden Siding to the Town
Of Tnzewcll. Would it not be to
the intorcst Of both North Tazewull
and Tnzewell for this highway to
come down the river by way of the
Town of North Tnzcwcll, thence to
Tazewell, following the street car
line, and passing through both towns
this should be done, and n concerted
effort should bo made along this line

in MEMORY OF
ROBERT {. LEE
Confederate Organizations Are
Planning to Raise Fund to
Preserve Tomb of .Distin-
guished Southerner.

a plan has been adopted by the
United Daughters of the Conred-
eracy, the Confederate Veterans, and
the Sons of the Veterans, to restore
and enlarge chapel at Lexington,
Va, that contains the tomb of Gen.
Robt. +. Lee, and to remodel this SO
as to make it fireproof
AT the regular monthly meeting of
the Tazewell Chapter of the U. D.
G., the Chapter enthusiastically en-
dorsed this work and will undertake
ut once to do its part in interesting
all of the people who love and adj
mire Gen. Robt. E. Lee, to also take
part of the work.
1t is the purpose Of the organiza-
tons mentioned to raise this money
by popular subscription. 1t is not de-
sired to have a few rich men con-
tribute the money, but to present the
facts to the people and let them con-
tribute in such amounts as they may
care in sums of one dollar. No large
contributions will be asked from any
one. There are many people who
cannot afford to give large amounts,
at the same time they desire to take
part i'll the work
The chapel referred to above,
which is on the campus of Washing
ton and Lee University, besides con-
tanning the tomb of General Lee has
In it the priceless Valentine recum-
bent statute of General Lee, ana
many fine works of art. all of which
are very dear to the hearts of South
ern people. The building is subject to
destruction by fire at any time and
should he made fireproof, properly
heated and lighted. AS it exists to-
day it is really reproach to he
Southern people.
The funds contributed will be used
first for the reconstruction and care
of General Lees tomb, and. if there
are any funds left. they will be sup
piled to the Lee Memorial Fund
which Is general endowment fund
OF Washington & Lee University in
honor of General Robert e. Lee.
A handsomely illustrated booklet
of about forty pages is being pre-
pared which contains some of the
essential facts pertaining to General
Lees life and some side-lights on his
character. On the first inside page
of the Booklet is a certificate show
ing that the person possession it has
made contribution for the purposes
mentioned above.
One of the chief objects of this
undertaking on the part of the Unit
ed Daughters of the Confederacy is
to place in every home this little
Booklet so that the children may re-
ceive inspiration through the unset
fish life Of one of the greatest men
of America.
An article containing other infor-
nation on this subject will appear in
the next issue-be on the lookout for
it.

NO FOUNDATION FOR SUSPIC-
ION AND CRITICISM.

There has been some talk in The
community that the bold burglary on
Clear Fork must have been COM
mittcd bv parties very familiar with
the I.circl home and surroundings,
and therefore committed by men of
that community. Such rumor is
entirely without foundation. The
people Of Clear Fork are law-abid-
ing and that these highwaymen were
members of that quiet, moral COM
munity is unbelievable. The only pos
siblc ground for suspicion was that
the men seemed strangely familiar
with the surroundings at the Leffel
home. but this is not sufficient for
suspicion. The burglars were evi-
IDENTIFY on watch and took advantage
of Mr.. Lene's absence, knew that
his wife was alone. The writer has
known Clear Fork people for years,
and volunteers this 'vindication OF
even n suspicion of two Of her citi-
Zens.
If it be true, which is not certain.
that these bandits were discharged
employees of the Tazewell Timber
Corporation at Grafton, no blame or
"onsurc in the world can possibly be
charged to the corpoation. Lumber
men employ hundreds of men whose
moral character they do not know
and could not know if they would. A
man known to be highwayman or
a thief would not be taken on Of
course and sometimes, no doubt, q
bad man gets in without the knowl-
edge of the management. In these
days of scarcity of hands the on
ly requisite is that the man shall be
able to fill his place and do his work.
The writer knows also the men,
hers of this firm of the Tazewell
Timber Corporation, and these lines
are voluntarily written to allay and
combat any aspersion or unfavora-
bic criticism that may be placed up
on the corporation by reports that
the !devilment perpeirated on Clear
Fork recently was by employees of
the corporation.

SOMETHING ABOUT COLONEL.
BROWNING FOR GOVERNOR.

Wytheville, Va. Jan. IL, 1921.
Clnch Valley Nows:
! note in your last issue that you
published. the announcement of Col.
James S. Browning for Governor. l
also note your comments which are
very well put.
| also notice in Sundays issue of
the Roanoke Times that tho Colonel
promises to write up the reminisc-
cnces of the rcadjustment movement
or campaigns in Virginia. II the Col.
will give this in full or even a part
CT it it is going to make some very
interesting reading, as there never
has been such political campaign
wagcd on any part Of the Union AZ
this one. The Colonel has often prom
ised "reminiscences of his early life
in Pocahontas and the many things
that did and did not happen there.
This recalls an incident related to
me by tho Colonel at the time it
happened.
Back in the eighties there lived in
this town very noted character,
Squire p. p. Dillon. The Squire
landed in Pocahontas as Henry
County Democrat, but like most of
Democrats from South Of the Blue
Ridge who land in the Pocahontns
coal fields soon learned the language
of the tribe and become Republi-
can. Squire Dillon was better known
as Pink and was the most noted
character they had in this town. He
once held the position Of Mayor and
every minor position from a class
leader to trial Justice. Some of
the 'Squire's decisions were so rare
and rank that he illicited some very
strong criticism in print from Mr..
Harry M. Smith. better known there
as Governor Smith, who was then
publishing in that town news pa
ner Known as the Pocahontas Head
Light. These criticism were so severe
that Dillon waited on the Editor and
demanded an apology. This was prom
ised him. In the next issue Of the
paper the apology appeared but it
was many times more severe than
the criticism. So the Governor was
waited on by Dillon and informed
that he did not want any more of
his apologies.
This terminated their social relat-
ions and there was anything but a
| Kind feeling existed between them
from that on.
In 1893 Mr. Smith was appointed
Minister to Hayti This appointment
onpeared in large head lines In the
Virginia Dailies. Pink happened t
pe it.. He carried It to Colone
Browning and showed it to him ant
asked him where HAyti was. He wa,
informed that it was small prov
ince in South America, inhabited b,
NEGROES. After listening to this ex
"'annticn he said. "Wcll. I've Away.
contributed literally to foreign mis-
sicn.. but If Grover Cleveland is 90
'ne to mni-c Ministers out of sucl
mon rs Governor Smith and sent
th'n down to South America IL
rrc'ch to niggers. 7 will never Civ,
another dent to this cause"
Now. would be glad if conl,
show this announcement of the Cole
and get an expression from Pink a
IN what kind Of Governor he think
Colonel Browning would make.
