letter from Mr.. Hurley, the Repub-
lean Leader of Buchanan county,
charging that the Democrats of that
county paid poll taxes in the sum of
$500 last spring.
Mr.. Hurley probable believes his
statement is correct, and I do not
doubt but what he does. But he did
not go quite far enough. He should,
in all fairness, if he knew, and I pre-
sumo he did, have told how much the
Republicans of Buchanan spent for
the same purpose. If he also stated
the full amount expended by the Re-
publicans of his county and then
stopped, he still would not have gone
quite far enough.
The county treasurer of Buchanan
county, Republican, of course,
steadfastly and stubbornly refused
any Democrat access to his official
records last spring, while his Office
and records were open to Republi-
cans at any and all times.
Not only that, but at least twenty
Democrats; whose poll taxes were
delinquent, rendered the treasurer of
Buchanan county amount of such de-
linquency, and he accepted amounts
due for such arrears. After the time
had passd Elm which such taxes could
be paid in order for the voter to ex-
ercise the right of suffrage the COM
ing election, the treasurer handed
them back their money, informing
them that they should have paid
same to the clerk and that they were
simply "out of luck" so far as this
year is concerned.
1tboca oh ,,,a,.,, vol. H.,
prominent and reputable citizens Of
by prominent Republican lawyer of
Grundy.
1t is a ,matter of history that the
ty wilfully omitted to place more
more than two hundred voters on the
poll tax list in that county, and that
practically all of them were Demo-
Gratis, and that he was later removed
for this act bv the court and a Re-
publican appointed in his stead. 1t is
a matter of history that the last Re-
publican treasurer Of Russell county
omitted to place more than five hun
dred Democrats who had paid their
poll taxes OIL the certified list in that
county and the omission, or deliber-
ave ASAoooi w w ooI was dioCONCAGQ
just in time to have the court make
an order placing them on.
1t is matter of common knowl-
edge that one or two Republican
leaders are bidding for every sus-
pected purchasable vote in Dicken-
son county, and that in one or two
instances they have made bid for
almost entire neighborhoods. 1t is
pertinent and proper to inquire
whether these leaders are acting
with the knowledge and approval of
Mr.. Slemp, who is the nominal head
of his party in this district
From his many pctulant and child
like outbursts, it is clearly evident
that Mr.. Slemp harbors an ill-natur-
ed personal pique toward George G..
Pcery. Such an attitude i'll becomes
a man supposed to be tolerant and
magnanimous enough to treat on
honorable, highminded political for
properly and courteously.
In conclusion, / repeat in the Ian
guage of "Fiddlin Bill" that otis
worse than tho pot calling the ket-
tie black"

WHO is THE REPUBLICAN CAN.
DIDATE.

Bristol, Oct. 10.-"Who is the Re-
publican candidate in the Ninth Vir-
ginia District this year? Is Bascom
Slemp running again?"
This question asked several days
ago Of travelling man from NASH
vile who was in one of the smaller
towns Of the Ninth Virginia Dis
trict. He admitted he was not in clo..e
touch with the District political sit
uation.
The Republicans for some reason
seem to have a hesitancy In letting
the voters know just who is their
nominee. Slemp is expected to get
many votes in some sections,

COUNTY ROADS ARE
IN BAD CONDITION

According to reports obtained from
persons who have had occasion with
In the past few days to travel owe the
roads Of the county, 1t is learned that
travel, by auto is very uncertain and
in some cases. precarious because of
the unusually bad condition Of the
ungraveled highways. This condition
Is due to the freezing and thawing
weather that has prevailed for the
past several days. (
Rain several days ago served to
soften the dirt surface Of this kind of
roads so that traffic caused deep ruts
to be formed. Auto drivers say that
1t is practically impossible to get a
car out of these ruts, especially during
day driving when a fraction of, an
inch Of the surface is thawed out. thus
forming a thin coating of gumbo that
does not serve as a traction surface
for cars. r
A number Of farmers who were in
the city today stated that they had
never at thds season Of the year., seen
the roads in as bad a condition as at
present. =
