SOLDIER BONUS
KILLED BY VETO
Senate Sustain President Hard.
ing in Burying For the Present
Measure Intended as Aid to
Ex-Service Men.

The Senate, after passing the bo-
nus bill sustains President Hardings
veto of the bill, by vote of IA To
2S, four votes less than enough To
override tho veto. The Senate knew
as did also the House, that the bill
would be vetoed. The President is
being made the cats-paw of the poll
ticians whose election comes up this
fall. Such political manipulation will
prove to be II Damascus blade, cut
ting both ways, going and coming.
The Presidents main reason, as
given, was that the bill carried no
provisions for raising the billions
necessary to pay the bonus, and his
veto was wise, and will be approved,
it is said. by large majority of the
Taxpayers already burdcned with
taxation. If Mr.. Harding will veto the
iniquitus tariff bill, which will come

THOSE COURT HOUSE
SPEECHES.
(Editorial.)


We have had opportunity toread

pected from the material at hand.
years, to the days of the Constitu-
tional Convention, -"Bill Rhea." etc.
and chewed over again the old rag
of Acknowledgement, spending al,
most his entire time in talking about
state politics, and discussing not n,
all, or barely alluding the national
issues, and the present administra-
ton, on the ground perhaps, that
the least said the better. The county
registrars Mt at least three places,
Graham, Pocahontas and Richlands,
had been so manipulated, Mr.. Giles
pie said, as to cheat Republicans out
of their votes, etc. "Bill Rhea voted
120 dead men in Bristol"
MIR. Gillespie said that the family
OF Geo. G. Peery had voted against
Republican nominees in this county,

stitutional convention, the Democrats
voted almost solid. The phrase az
do not know" frequently rccurrcd in
this address and we think he was
correct in this.
A little side remark as to Geo. C.
Pecry's height was this: "Mr. Peery
is tall man, and when he walks mn
turally he has the plane of his Wis.
ion is pretty high" looking over, /.
is implied, the heads or ordin-
ary people, with his eyes OH the Can
itol Mt Washington. He might have
told his audience, as he undertook to
speak of statues, that Mr.. Hassin-
ger is n very low, small man, and OIL
the same principle, unable to sec
over and beyond the things that shut
out his vision of the Capitol ut Wash
ington.
Mr.. Summers talked tariff, the one
issue which has knocked the Rcpub-
Lean party "out of the watcr", Mt
least three times.
Somebody remarked, that "if the
democrats will keep these two speak,
ers on the wire Peery's election is
assured"

Benz. REED DEAD
AT POCAHONTAS
Was Pioneer Character in Early
Days of Smoky City"-No
Benefit Noticed From Wage
Increase to Miners.

Pocahontas, Va, Sept. 21.-The
raise in wages to men in the mines
has not so far been as beneficial as
it would have been had it not been
for the shipments strike on the rail-
road. The shortage of cars makes it
necessary that the mines be idle a
large portion of the time, consequent
lv the men are unable to work any
thing like full time. This condition
will no doubt be remedied when the
railroad strike is settled.

fathers old home on the mountain on
Friday afternoon. He was 67 years

He is survived by one brother, w.
Ed Read of Independence, Mo-, who
reached here the day of the burial.
His estate, valued at 100000 or
more, will probably go to his brother
Ed. The latter will remain at Poca-
hontas for few. days before re-
turning to Missouri.

REPUBLICAN COUNTY COM.
In Defense OF Cary Benbow.


Editor, Clinch Valley News:
There has come to our attention a
remark made by Hon. Barnes Gill
1espiea i'll his speech at Tazewell,
tuesday, September 18th, which, as
IL mas reference to the point we are
discussing, is as follows:
who was the registrar at Gra-
ham? He sidestepped, and a
not know but very little about per-
sonally, but one Of the preachers of
the town of Graham said that the
decent women of the town wouldn,t
go before him to register. Thai NAV
be SANDER, l don't know: If NAV
be great injustice to this man, ~
Knowing Mr.. Gillespie as we do
and without any intention of attack,
ing his veracity (because he stated
he was speaking from hearsav | onlwI
we feel that he WILL welcome a correc,
ton OF the false impression that
some of his listeners NAV have form.

registrars, who is our fellow-towns.
man Cary T. Benbow. Scores of Dem
ocratic and Republican women of
this town have been to Mr.. Bcnbow s
office to register. Isn't the above
statement quite reflection on these
good women? Let their fathers, hus-
bands, and brothers answer.
10 be very emphatic we wish to
state publicly that we protest against
any such attack on Mr.. Benbow and
that the remarks made about him
are wholly false.-S. N. Huffard. R.

The editor regrets that absence
from the office on Monday prevented

originally from Botetourt, the son of
Joel B. Lemon, who had large fam
lily of boys and girls, all of whom
did and are now doing well in differ

the country.
When he called on Monday the
editor was at work cuttin' tops and
pullin' fodder, work, it is ventured
Lemon was not stranger to in the
old days agone. 1t was the custom in
those days, to "top and blade" the
corn, and while it gave lot of nice
feed it was tedious job. There were
no corn shredders, and the farmer
didn't want the stalks bothering him.
The stalks were left standing in the
field, and in the spring were cut down
raked up and burned "out of the
way" To turn the stalks under was
not thought of. We have learned bet
ter now. But, the editor reverted to

times sake, and partly because he

the editor had to show him the lick
it was done with, and we both went
at it about 8 o'clock, and finished by
