THEN AND NOW.
It is pretty plain to most people
that all the politicians in the work!
cannot create prosperity when the
crops fail; and that when the crops
fail; and thnt when the crops are
abundant there is needed nothing to'
create good limes beyond the policy
of non-tinkering and non-experiment?
ing on the part of the politicans.
Careful voters will realize all this
when they go to the polls this fall.
The politicians have had their inning.
The business man?the consumer?the
Inborer?the common chap, as dis?
tinguished from the much discussed
"people" of the demagogues, these
ought to come in for some considera?
tion once in a while. ? Bluefield Tcle
gaph.
That is not the way you used to
"holler." "McKinley and Prosper?
ity." "The Republican Party and a
Full Dinner Pail." "Roosevelt and
Good Times." "Cleveland Panic,"
etc., etc. That's the way you used to
squeal, and the people listened, "the
business man, the consumer, the la?
borer, the common chap, " and voted
for your men, and kept on, until they
have grown tired and hungry. New,
tha,t they have their eyes open, you,
along with a number of other pals,
change the tune, and cry, "All the
politicians in the world cannot create
prosperity when the crops fail." You
used to even claim thnt good crops
and buasons were the result, in some
way, of Republican rule. Now, "a
policy of nou-tinkering"is advocated,
if this "tinkering" keeps on some?
body will lose a job, cr.ops or no
crops." liow things do change 1"

man.
D'?<'t Claims R. C. Gillespie
Kufus C. Gillespie, a pioneer citi?
zen of Texas, an exConfederate sol?
dier and a well known resident of
this city, died this morning at 12 :15
o'clock at his home at Bray's boule?
vard and Hurrisburg road. The de
ceo ed had been in failing health for
Dome time and his death was not

year;; of age. lie came to Texas be?
fore the war and located near Fort
Worth, later moving to Kaufman

his final sleep in a coffin of cadet

descended from men who fought and
died nt King's Mountain to establish
this republic, one of those who
fought with l.ee and Longstrcet for
the integrity of the States, carrying
with him to the grave scars ol

the pale rider of the white horse.
Through many years he had been a
soldier of tho cross' and he looked
forward confidently to seeing Iiis
pilot's face when had crossed the bar.

BEAUTIFUL WEDDING
A beautiful home wedding took
place on Tazewell avenue Wednesday
afternoon at 3 o'clock, when Miss
Louise Gray Wynn, became the wife
of Mr. Frank Elmore Whitt, of
Charleston. The attendants were:
Earnest Wynn, brother of the bride
with Miss Mary Whitt, sister of the
groom; Mr. William Whitt, btolher
of tho groom with Miss Bessie Wynn ;
Mr. Grover McGuire witii Miss Ethel
Pobst. Rev. S. 0. Hall officiated.
Only a few invited guests and rela?
tives were present. The bride, beauti?
ful under4any conditions, was specially
so on this ocenssion ,clad as she was,
in white silk, and handsome vail.
She is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Morgan Wynn, and a young lady of
fine character. The groom is a son of
Dr. W. H. Whitt, of Meadow Viev,
Va., now a traveling jsalsmnn for a
Charlston, W. Va., Shoe Company,
and a young man not only of splendid
appearance, but of fine character.
The parlor was tastefully decorated in
green and pink, the electric light giv?
ing a soft and mellow glow to every?
thing it touched and fell with partic?
ularly charming effect upon the blush?
ing bride and handsome groom who
stood beneath it while they pledged
their troth, the one to the other.
After the ceremony light but delici?
ous refreshments were served. Thtf
bride and groom left on the 6:39
train for Meadow View, the home of
the groom's parents. They will make
their home at Charleston.
Paint?
There are two good reasons
for painting often-enouhg or even
too-often. One, to look prosper?
ous : two, to he so.
Nothing does one more credit
oi gives one more credit than
paint, supplemented of course by
what goes with it; and paint costs
nothing.
True, the first cost is $5 or lj?6
a gallon put-on ; but it saves more
than that in the property; stives
it from slow going-down?not al?
ways slow?it drops with a jump
when water gets in on wood and
iron.
Dry wood and iron cost nothing
kept dry by paint.
Better paint when it needs it.
Paint never goes-down in ihe
sense of being more profitable
next year.

SABBATH DESECRATION.
More than one citizen hits called at
this office to enter a complaint and a
protest on account of the manner in
which the Fair people were permitted
to desecrate the Sabbath of last week
it is noted that drays and wagons
were hauling from the depot to fair
grounds all day Sunday, from early
morning until late at night, and it is
a fact. These diays and teams did
more und heavier work on Sunday the
15th, than during any other day in
tho week. The very siight of it was
repulsive and shameful, even hail it
not been unlawful. These teamsters,
every one of them, violated the law,
ainl Bhould have heen hauled up and
lined or stopped. The Magistrate or
the Mayor, or somebody responsible,
should have prevented such a whole?
sale desecration of the day and open
flagrant violation of the law. 'this
hauling was nut necessary on Sunday.
Monday morning would have been
! time enough to have begun. The
tents, Merry-go-round and other Pair
stuir, could oasly have been put in
place on Monday. Tin: Fait people
were not directly responsible, but If
such desecration of the Sabbath is ne?
cessary to holding a Fair then better
not liold a Fair at all. At the grounds
it is said, work went on all day Sun?
day just the same. This sort of thing
wlil not he tolerated by the people
and will not occur again. If the olll
cers of the law would do their sworn
duty there need never lie such com?
plaints or such cause of complaints
as this.
It should he said that the team?
sters did not, perhaps, know they
were violating the law, but the uu
thorities evidently did, or should
have known it.

RACK HOME
Mr. and Mrs R. A. Crockett, who
have been on a months visit to their
old homes in Ta/.cwcll, returned to
their home in Missouri Tuesday.
Their visit was pleasant on all aides
and in all respects. Mr. Crockett is
brother to E. K. Crockett, and has
numerous relatives in this county.
Mrs. Crockett is a member of the
large family of the late .lames R.
Witten, of this community.
Mr. and Mr.".. Crockett have the
proud distinction of having renred 14
children?5 boys and 9 girls. The
baby is a girl, 10 years old. All the
children but one, a married daughter
living in Idaho, are at home or near?
by?all healthy, fine fellows. No
wonder Mr. Crockett has prospered,
lie has been able t'l snap his finger
in the fares of independent or in?
different laborers, and do his own
work in his own way, . at his own
time. And now, as father and mother
get old they can just puil out and
come to Virginia or go anywhere else
they please, certain tlint the farm
and stock and chickens will he taken
care of. Who says children are "a
nuisance?" If Mr. Crockett will fur?
nish us a picture of his fine hunch we
will gladly put it in this paper.
A Correct Report
Editor Daily Telegrah :
The following is n correct report of j
the meeting of the Roosevelt Pro?
gressive (Hub of Graham, V:.., held
Kriday evening:
Mr. Graham is already fully en?
dorsed as the Progressive party can?
didate for congress in the ninth con?
gressional district of Virginia but the
Taft-Slcmp postmasters were "not in
it."
The meeting was called to announce
that the Republicans having at Taze?
well and Bristol, decided to stand pat
I for Taft and Slemp, the Progressive
party was going steadily ahead with
its work of nominating and electing
I state ticket, elccctors, congressmen,
etc., without further consideration
of tin- stand pat Republican bosses,
j excepting to drive them from office.
{The platforms state und national, and
iparty law were explained and it was
seen that so wisely had the able lead?
ers of the Progressive party drawn
them that no meet'ng packed by
Slemp stand-patters could betray the
true Progressives in that way. It was
explained that since the Chicago con?
vention all Progressives subscribe,
endorse and pledge themselves to or
gnnizntion, platform, party lawB and
candidates of the Progressive party,
now fully organized, and that Wilson,
'o You Running for, tho Presi
)r Rcvonge?"
?From the Now York Herald.
I'a i t, Slcmp und tho Bristol convent?
ion, nri' not endorsed l>y tin- organ?
ized Progressive imrty und that the
Progressive party as such lias never
bcon rocognized at tho Bristol con?
vention and Bent no dologntos to it.
That while, had the Republicans
nominated a true Progressive, OS thoy
lead mi to beliove they would, and
not nominated Slcmp, who said ho
would not hn a candidate, the Pro?
gressive psrty would have ondorsod a
Progressive nominated at Bristol, bul
that Tnft-Sleinp nomination by tho
Btand patters was repudiated abso?
lutely and no Progressive is bound by
it for these reasons. This was tho
important business transacted. The
Slcmp men present, one or moro of
whom had voted in the Bristol con?
vention, although not delegates, pack?
ing that convention and weakening
its regularity anil legality slid or
Slemped out, when they saw thoy
wero dehornded and learned that the
Roosovelt-Johnson-Graham men were
honestly and straightforwardly invit?
ing them either to join the Progress?
ive party o r to take oil' tho lion's
skin and hIiow themselves as stand
patters.
The success und energy of the
Roosevelt Progressive Club of flro
ham, Va., is proved by its ability to
bring the honor of tho Progressive
nominal ion of ono of its members, to
Graham and to obtain the endorse?
ment ?f the true Progressives of the
whole ninth district and of tho na?
tional and Stale of Virginia Progress?
ive organizations, commit teen and
Progressives generally.
