FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2."., 11118
A WONDERFUL VICTORY.
The rolling up, on schedule time,
of the enormous sum of more than
six billion dollars, is the most won?
derful achievement of any nr.tion in
history. And this, too, during the
prevalence and sweep of the most
dreadful and demoralizing epidemic
and scourge ever experienced in this
country. On top of this, as an added
hindrance, was the rumor and fat-j
reaching talk of peace and the early
ending of the war. Notwithstanding
all this, the people rolled up the un?
thinkable amount of more than six
billion dollars?bow much over is not
known at this writing. It was a won?
derful achievement. The effect pro?
duced abroad cannot hut he a blow to
whatever of lingering hope tile tier-'
mans may have entertained of win?
ning the war and an encouragement
and assurance unmistakable to our
troops in France and others going
daily, that the homcfolks are with
them, heart, soul and resource.-, to
the limit.
"It was a wonderful victory."
YOUR SEED CORN FOR 1919.
Remember what a hard time was
had last spring in getting seed corn.'
At this stage of the game : elect seed
corn when shucking is recommended
a-, the only safe, plan. Select the best
ears and keep them from freezing this
winter, if possible. Freezing injures
well dried corn hut little, hut when
not well dried freezing will injure the
germinating quality of the grains.
Get the liest seed possible this fall
for next spring planting.
A MESSAGE TO TDK BOYS IN
FRANCE.
It must be very gratifying to the
Tazewell boys in France to note that
their home county has been weighed
\in the balances and not found want?
ing. The Fourth Liberty Loan cam?
paign, which dosed Sntuvt'.ay night,
wti oversubscribed more than a hun?
dred thousand dollars and the cam?
paign for the sale of War Stamps has
resulted in the sale anil pledge- to buy
of over half a million dollars. This
makes nearly a million and a quarter
dollars loaned the government by the
people of Tazewell county within the
past few weeks.
Tazewell county is so thoroughly
inoculated with the "Wlin-theWnr"
idea that about all the Government
need do now is to tell us the amount
desired and it will be forthcoming.
Tazewell County has made a won?
derful record in the sale of War
Stamps and pledges to buy. Director
McAdama official figures show that
Tazewell is the second county in the
Ninth district, and in per capita pur?
chases Outdistances all of the rich
counties in the Eastern pal of the
Slate.
It is interesting (to us) to com?
pare the per capita sales of Tazewell
with some of the Eastern Virginia'
counties, who have in years past re?
gal,led the inhabitants of the South?
west as a separate and distinct race'
from their own.
Hats olf to Tazewell County, and
the entire Southwest, the home of
the mountaineer and the clansman,
,and the pure-blood Anglo Saxon, un?
hyphenated, courageous and patriot?
ic to the last degree!
The grippe epidemic which swept
the county more than twenty years
ago was just about the same, say
the doctors, as this Spanish influen?
za. Dr. Witten, of Graham, says the
epidemic then was worse than this.
The epidemic then was widespread,
but our recollection is that it was
not nearly so fatal. A great many
old people died then, whereas, the
large fatalities now are among the
younger peojde. The fatalities in ar?
my camps in this country are great?
er than the fatalities, all told, in
General Pershing's army in Prance,
The cpdidemic of influenza is jusi
getting a good start in Tazewell, and
we may see and will see a spread of
the disease unless rigid precautions
arc taken. Remember, the germ? are
spread by coughing, sneezing and
spitting. Avoid crowds and particu?
larly badly ventilated rooms.
Wo3t Virginia's quota of the 4th
Liberty Loan was "over the top" to
the amount of $5,572,850, according
to the B'.uefield Telegraph. The quo
,ta for the State was $33,880,000.
Good for the little Mountain Stato.

hard to please.
AMERICA'S ANSWER.
Just what reply President Wilson
will make to this last camouflage, so
(ailed "peace note" of the Germans,
wo know not. If lie replies the reply
will be all right. The people 01
America have replied in unmistaka?
ble language. Within three weeks
time more than six billion dollars
have been gladly and willingly pro?
vided for the victory campaign. This
is the peoples' eloquent, suggestive
reply, and we've got more left if
wanted. "We have just begun to
tight."
"Shipyard Athletics Abandoned."?
Headline. A wise move. Some of us
at home have never been quite able
to understand why men working In
shipyards should be encouraged in u
great waste of time playing football
and baseball. As a diversion, when
opportunity is afforded, a little play
is all right, but to take valuable time
from ship-building to play baseball
:>s a means of exercise, has always
had the appearance of a foolish waste
of time and energy. If the young
men in the shipyards have surplus
energy to spare, spend it in the
trenches in France.
15-YEAR OLDS TO RR CALLED
IIY MARCH I.
Washington, October Hi.?The g0V-|
eminent army draft program contem?
plates reaching into the group of reg- I
istiants between thirty-seven and for?
ty-live years and under nintocn years
by the beginning of March. This wn?
the testimony of Provost Marshal
Gen. Crowder in explaining the pn
gramme to the House Appropriations I
Committee as shown in hearings held |
here.
Prom those registered on Sept. 12
the Government expects to draw l,
8-10,000 actual lighting men by the |
end of next. June. This does not in?
clude special and limited service men I
numbering 550,000. Acording to Ceil. |
Crowder, a little more than 50 per
cent of the lighting men will come
from the ninctce-twenty group nnd|
the thirty-tow-thirty-six group. Hi
said the eighteen year old class is to|
he called lo a limited extent for c
leginte and military training but that|
the number so called is almost negli?
gible.
KO Divisions by June .'111.
In the same connection Gen March|
Chief of Stall', outlined more in detail |
than heretofore bis programme for
putting a force of men in France that
will "walk through" (he German line
anywhere they please. A scheme has
been worked out so that by June 30,
1010, a total of eighty divisions will
be ah: oad and eighteen at home.
"Our estimate of eighty divisions,"|
said Cen. March, "provides for live
divisions in Octolrer, four in Novem?
ber, l our in December, four in JniiU-1
ary, four in February and then, dur?
ing the months between that anil
June 30, there is to be an average of
four divisions a month. We will or.
IganhtC so as to arrive at that point
with ninety-eight divisions by June
,'iu. 1010."
The program looks forward to keep?
ing at home for every emergency a I
reservoirs of approximately 1,500,0001
men, Cen. March continued.
1,708,437 Have Sailed.

GERMANY'S ANSWER.
(Roanoke Times.)
' Is Germany sincere? That is '.ho
question uppermost in the mind of the
country today. The German chancel?
lor's reply to the President's inter?
rogations is fair enough o-i its face -
hut can the governments that uro
lighting Germany afford to take the
word of a German Chancellor? One
of two things is evident: Cither n
'tremendous change has been effected
in the German government, a change
which has resulted in making the
Kaiser little more than a figurehead,
oi the Chancellor's plausibly worded
reply is B trap into which i1 is hoped
to ensnare the allies. I; is for Wood
row Wilson to decide which, of I best
two theories is the right one.

JUST TWENTY-FOUR YEAR8 AGO
The F. and F. Club "Eats ('nun al the
Baugh Place.
.Mr. II. E. Pccry's letter, publish?
ed in this issue, reminds us?just 2-1
years ago, to he exact, on the 17th
day of October, IKiM, a party of us
callimr ourselves by the euphonious
and high-sounding name, The Pur and
Feather Club, left Tazewell for a ten
day hunt and outing in Hear Town
and other deep and (lark woods in the
upper end of Poor Valley. The mem?
bers of that club, participating in tins
ncver-to-uc-forgoltcn hunt, were E. V.
and .1. W. Spotts, Lewis and John
Briltuiu Charles i". (Hayseed) Peery,
Frank W.U. a, J. A. Leslie, Ceo. W.
(Jordon) Yost, T. B. Warren, the bar?
ber, Charles Dempscy and Charles
Puxton, cooks, and Bill Moore, Com?
mander of the "transportation" de?
partment, consisting of n one-horse
wagon, containing tent, stove, dishes,
and supplies and no small quantity of
"artillery." All the members of this
club are alive except the lamented
.lohn and Lewis Brittain, two as tine
boys and genial companions as ever
lived.
The club was gotten together by
Ed. Spotts and .lohn Brittain, who
purchased the camp outfit and made
all arrangements. At the close of the
outing, about ten days, the expenses
>f the trip were footed up and divided
prn-ratn among us.
We left Tazewell on the morning of
October 17th in groups of two or
three headed for Poor Valley each
group choosing its own course across
the mountains. The wagon in charge
of "Bill" Moore went around the road
of course. The writer of these lines
?hall never forget the trip across. The
day developed summer heat. The big
pasture field leading up to the moun?
tain seemed interminable. There was
no water and we had nothing to cat,
except chestnuts. There was no game.
We lost our way and to make a long
story slant, about sunset my contin?
gent straggled into camp at the foot
of lb" mountain in Poor Valley, Lu?
ther Peery, his brother, H. E., .lohn
Grccver and others whoso names 1 do
not recall, bad been out .sometime,
and had just finished supper. On u
big log lire the big put still contain?
ed what was left of a fat coon, caught
the night before. There was also
coffee, corn bread and sorghum mo?
lasses We were invited to "fall to,"
ai.d we did. If the campers had re?
fused to feed us, there would have
been war right there. We were ready
to sacrifice life for food. Prom that
day to this never has a men! tasted
quite so good, or reached the spot
quite so effectively, as did that meal
of hot coon, black coffee and corn
bread.
We went into camp about a mile
further down the valley, in a vacanl
acre where once a bouse had stood,
the remaining logs of which furnish?
ed our tabb;. There, in the deep
woods, we spent two weeks?hunting
during the day. telling stories and
singing songs around a roaring fire
al night. No attempt will be made
here to describe this, to us, memora?
ble, never-lo-be-duplicaled vacation,
i: the deep, silent, woods of Poor
Valley, nearly a quarter century
:.go. The boys are scattered now,
but it is a safe guess that not one of
them living has forgotten or will for?
get, October. 1804.
AMARILLO OVER TUP. TOP.
Amarillo, Texas, Oct. 23.
Fditor the News:
Your letter received, also the News
for which I am very thankful and I
take pleasure in enclosing check for
$1.60 to pay subscription for one
year. I will suggest that you change
the street address on the paper to
1504 Harrison street, this city. The
paper will then be delivered at my
residence which I think is better than
sending it to my P. O. Box.
I enjoyed your paper very much,
as I could read about the doings of
friends and acquaintances of years
past, also see how you good people
were getting along with bond issue.;
etc. Little old Amarillo, Tex., has pul
on" over you on the last Liberty Bond
Issue. Our quota was $750,000 and
we raised it in one day and bad sev?
eral thousand to spare; on the third
loan we went over our quota consid?
erably more than a quarter ef a mil?
lion. We never have failed tj go over
the top on anything relative to the
war and the needs of the U. S. The
way things are looking now, it .seems
the Kaiser was going to back down
and the only thing the people hore
fear is that the war will en.! before
we can "whip him to a frazzle."
When. U. S.'s "tin soldiers" gol in .
action they certainly d'.d make those
Dutchman sit up and lake not; I
certainly would welcome pea 'C, but
I'd like to see those Germans punish?
ed more if possible.
Say, Mr. Leslie, I have in my pos?
sessio the minutes of the Burkc's (Jar
den Hunting Club which was organ?
ized many years before you "ate the
coon at the Baugh place,' and was in
existence up until a few years ago. li
you would like to publish them in a
' series of articles in your paper, I will
: send them to you. I will exact a sol
I enin promise from you that you will
'return them when the nublication is
finished. They tell of the meeting of
many of Tazewell's citizens and many
funny incidenst that happened during
our many camps; If you wish me to
send them, please let me know.
Thanking yon again for your paper,

THE ANSWER.
(New York Sun.)
Perhaps no document proceeding
from the president's capable intel?
lectuals has ever gone so swiftly to
the heart of the question Ol disposed
with such candid und yet subtle dia
lestic skill of a dangerously plan-ible
.trick of the enemy's diplomacy as his
'reply yesterday, through Mr. Lan?
sing, to Prince Muximillian's peace
j proposals.
Ten thousands words of amplifica?
tion could add naught to this Incom
Iparably effective repsonse. It argues
'nothing, it promises nothing, but se
Ircnely and without the least bluster
I of rhetorical phrase it hamstrings
I the Kaiser's stalking horse,
i "We are ready to accept your well
known terms of peace as the basis of
negotiations," said Prince Maximil?
ian. "Do you mean that you accept
those well known terms?" replies the
j president.
I "We propose an armistice while the
negotiations are going on," said the
Prince. "There can be no armistice,"
replies the president, 'while your
troops are in the territory you have
invaded."
"We arc ready for parley with a
view to peace," said Prince Maximil?
ian. "Of whom are you B-eakin?*T"
replies the president. "It is vital
that we .should know whether we are
parleying with the German people
or with the criminals who involved
the civilized world in this awful war.
i With them, devoid of honor, as I
have remarked before, we have no
I common language and can have no
thought in common."
i That is all, but it is enough; and
it is as incontrovertible in its ma?
jestic simplicity as the law govern
inc the movements of the heavenly
bodies, ami as beautiful as the Amer?
ican flag.
.GERMANS NOTHING SHORT OF
I BRUTES, SAYS BALFOUR.
London?A. J. Ralfour, the British
' Foreign Secretary, speaking at a
'luncheon given to a party of Ameri?
can editors said:
"We have to make a right peace
ami I do not think a light pence is
a very easy thing to make. Our ene?
mies are attempting to change their
constitution, hut appear to have no
notion that what we call a change is
not so much a change in the formal
j purpose of the Government as a
change of hearts whereby that Gov?
ernment is to be directed and animat
1 cd."
I Mr. Balfour said that the Ger
\ mans had shown no material im?
provement in their disposition durin<*
I the four years of the war.
1 "Unites they were when they be?
gan the war," he exclaimed. "As
fas as I can judge, brutes they re
main at the present moment.
The foreign secjetary said that
perhaps he spoke with a warmth and
indignation unbefitting bis position,
but with the news of the Leinster
outrage he found it difficult to meas
! uro his epithet
I "One would have thought," contin?
ued Mr. Halfour, "that those who
brought in America to their own un?
doing by crimes of this sort would
have shrunk a little from repeating
them at the moment when their fate
is to be decided by America, perhaps
even more than by any other of the
co-belligerents."
Mr. Balfour said lie wished he
could think that crimes of this kind
ware those of a small dominant mil?
itary caste, but it war- incredible that
they could be repeated through four
: year., of embittered warfare if they
'did ic-t commend themselves to the
i population which committed them.
JlS IT POSSIBLE TO BELIVE IT?
I There me 1,890,000 people, of nil
I ages, in Virginia, who did not buy
I a bond of the Second, c- Third L.b
ertv Loan.
j There are 2,202,000 in North Caro?
lina.
There are 1,369,000 in South Cnro
I Una.
j There are 1,065,000 in West Vir
jginia (in the 5th dictrict.)
j There are 1,050,000 in Maryland.
This, too, is upon the ::S3umptioni
on the side of liberality, that none
i of the people who subscribed to the
I Second Loan subscribed to the Third.
;This we know, of course, is not the
case.
What can these people who are able
to buy say in extenuation? How can
they ever look a returned soldier boy
in the eye? What will their relation
to those who have dono their part
when we show an honor roll of deeds
done after the War?

U. S. GETS READY TO BOMB
GERMAN CITIES.
Washington, October 12.?Bombs,
air bombs, of high explosives from
liftv to live hundred pounds, penetrat?
ing bombs, incendiary bombs, shrap?
nel bombs, incendiary bombs that will
pierce as well as scatter continuing,
ilame at surface, contact?America i
has them, in thosaunds, in such num-l
hers that there arc not airplanes sufll-1
dent to drop them as rapidly as they |
an- produced and the ordnance de?
partment is waiting on the airplane
program now to begin the hail of
explosives over Germany for the final
pyrotechnics of the war.
The manufacturers who make these
bombs, at least seventy-five per cent
of them, from the bomb manufac?
turers association, in company with
ordnance and aviation officers of the
United States and Great Britain, saw
just how their message to the kaiser
were proof read today at the great
proving grounds of the ordancc de?
partment at Aberdeen, Md., near
llarve de Grace.
Here, with .'1,1)00 acres of old farm
laud to shoot around in some ten
thousand men to shift the scenes the
air full of planes to drop the bombs
and watch the projectiles flight from
cannon, howitzers and trench mor?
tars, all decked in camouflage, the
day was one long assortment of vieing
noises, from the swish of the flying
pig out of the Stokes-Newton mor
tars to the growling of the large
shrapnel shells through the outraged
air to the point of the burst.
Most of it was technical, to show
to the manufacturers how defects
were dscovercd by the tests, just
what the tests were and why, when an
occasional failure occurred, the pro?
jectile or bomb was defective. There
was no dramatization of the demon?
stration?it was just a routine day in
this vast camp whose day-to-day is
pust one round after another of shot
and shell. i
But almost everything on the west
front was there, just about as it is on
the battle line, for the conditions of
test are battle conditions and worse.
There are more than twenty types
of heavy ordnance there, in addition
to the drop bombs and artillery is
tested as well as explosives and pro?
jectiles.
Observation of the high explosive
shells ami the aerial bombing with
various types of bombs, were made
from a tower about sixty feet high
and the one big thrill of ibe day came
when, after almost getting used to
seeing the huge black misles come
wobbling down from a point appar?
ently over the top itself, one started
directly overhead and burst with high
explosive within a hundred and fifty
yards.
The tower shuddered. So did the
hundred or so persons on it. Even at
that distance and at that height, caps
were lifted by the concussion and one
staggered against it. Such tremendous
force had shattered the earth in a
deep, wide crater that finely pulver?
ized dirt sifted down two minutes or
more afterward.
This was the high explosive, bui
only a little one of fifty pounds of
T N T, not to be compared with the
five hundred pounds aerial bombs,
whose charge is half the weight. Ami
there others, shrapnel and the spec?
tacular incendiary bombs of ther?
mite, whose heat is such that a table
spoonful of it eats a hole in the armor
plate as an ember would eat through
butter. This is the kind that is used
for buildings.
The demonstration had all the in?
terest and confusion of a three ring
circus. Everything was going at once.
There was the bare of the incendiary
bombs, still burning from their deep
holes, the brown upheavals from the
banging six-inch mortar battery high
explosives, the graceful pahn trco
of whirling gases, formed in the vor?
tices from the penetrating TNT aer?
ial bomb, the wallowing flying pigs
in comparatively lazy arcs and, al?
ways overhead, far out of shell range,
the glinting planes soaring with new
missies.

WHAT IT TAKES.
ft must finally dawn on the kaiser
that it is not Essen and the Krupp
workmen, it is not guns alone, that
makes a war and win it. It is the
spirit of the people, of the men be?
hind the guns, that is most, impor?
tant. Our people arc inspired by an
unselfish puprposc to rescue civiliza?
tion. Under chivalrous command, our
men are fighting in the spirit of true
crusaders. They are not out for ma
tcrial gain. No, they left their home
shores and all that is dear to them to
fight for righteousness, for the free?
dom of men, for democracy. It was
a long way to Metz, but our guns
are bombarding its forts and its peo?
ple are fleeing for safety, while Hin
denburg rages as he conducts "trium?
phantly his pre-arranged retreat."!
Why doesn't the K:\iser leave all,
thing-i of war to Hindehburg, the man!
he has no love for? Because he!
knows that Hindonburg cannot be.
surpassed by anyone in Hun cpuali
ties. There is not a trace of the "milk
t f human kindness" in his soulless
composition. To him, literally, all
th'nga are fair in war, however re
voting or inhuman. But the day of.
reckoning is near. Our long-range,
guns are just as powerful and effec-j
t've as the German guns that kept'
Paris- shuddering. But we may be
sure they will not be aimed at Red
Cross hospitals?a favorite target of
Hindenburg's gunners.?N. Y. Times.
