Narrow GAUGE from clifton to Knoxville.

EDITORS CHRONICLE The idea of
Charleston, Wilmington, Norfolk and
Richmond being connected with Knox
vile by new link of railroad extending
from Clifton to the latter place appears TO
be a foregone conclusion, and is no longer
spoken of as a matter of novelty or told in
words of idle jest. Public necessity de-
mands it and public sentiment will force
il through. Those who were the least
sanguine and the most Indifferent toward
the enterprise at first now acknowledge IT
to be only question of time, and that
time to be measured or calculated by the
energy, generosity and combination of the
people along the line. AT present Jeffer-
son county enjoys the privileges and adj
vantages of two railroads, the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia Road run
ming through her north side, and the Gin
cinnati, Cumberland Gap and Charleston
Road across her east end at present,
through the energetic efforts of her ell
cient corps of commissioners, she appears
to be trying to excel in this new enter
drise.
We notice in looking over the subscrip-
ton book, opened 10y the Commissioners,
that 81, 900 subscription was received and
four miles and half of grading went I'M
der contract on the first day Judge Swan
being the subscriber and contractor
In order to demonstrate the correctness and
sincerity of jefferson county in this matter
we here introduced a few facts and fig
ures. About Is years ago she had no rail
road and knew but little of their value, at
that time. In 1S45 when the charter of the
e. II. & V. road was applied for her tax
list shows that all her land was valued at
II ,0S2, $500. She was then called upon to
help build the road, to which she liber-
ally responded by loaning her credit to the
amount of 100000. In 1854 the road
was completed and her taxable wealth
had increased to 81 ,607 ,S64 90, being an in
crease of considerably over half a million
dollars, and within n few dollars of half
as much us she was worth in 1913. u.
The aggregate value of her lands in 1867
was 3 ,912, 1920, being an increase since 1S4S
of over eight hundred thousand dollars,
thus throwing into the county treasury q
revenue of more than six times the inter-
est on $4,000, per cent. bonds, also her
lands along this line, before this road was
built, that sold at private sale at $40 per
acre, after it was completed the same quail
ty of lands sold at $40 per acre. These
facts taken from the county records pre-
sent view that is interesting and graft
flying to every citizen of the county, and
constitute arecord that we may all be proud
of. Then, when this third line of road
passes through her center and south side,
she can well define her position as being
second only to Knox and boast of he pride,
her power and her glory.

Experience of a Reporter.

Mark Twain In recent lecture, among
other subjects gave sketch of his expert

how it happened. He received an invita-
ton one day from newspaper in Virginia
City, with which he had been correspond

journal, at a salary of S25 week in gold.
He went, and remained three years. The
life of q reporter was described in the fol-
lowing terms:

Texas for GreeleY,

The Houston Times, (Democrat)
hoists the name Of Greeley and Brown.
Its leader says "The Convention
has done its work we'll, both as re-
CARDS platform and candle ates. The
nominees are the representatives of
the highest integrity and ability of
tho country. They also represent
that liberal and progressive spirit in
politics, combined with that respect
for our timo.honored institutions
which form the essential elements
of American craftsmanship. Besides,
thoy have done more than any other
two men to- inaugurate that liberal
movement which has broken the bad
force of Radiealism and restored the
hope of good government to tho coun-
try. We confidently expect that the
ticket will be immensely popular at
the South, and it will be equally so in
the North, West and East. Here
the nominations not only give nniver.
sal satisfaction, but arc received with
enthusiasm"

Steele, and in his presence put $3.50

delivered to him the key of the draw
Ell as we'll as the key to the house,
telling him to take care of both for the

recounting the money Mr.. Barbour
found that fifty dollar bill was miss.
ing. Steele, who was tho only one
that knew of the whereabouts of the
money besides Mr.. Barbour, denied
all knowledge of the missing bill, de-
claring that he had not entered the
room since he did so with Barbour.
The latter maintained that Steel must
know something about it, and finally
discharged him from his service
Steele left and has not been heard OF
since. A few days since Mr.. Barbour
found the missing fifty dollars in the
back part of his bureau, caught in the

In Virginia, whore the colorcd peo~

States, excellent relations appear to
exist between the two races. At
Richmond tho colored population
made brilliant demonstration on tho
anniversary of tho passage of tho
fifteenth amendment, and thcir pro-

best possible feeling was manifested
by those who participated in the celc.

weston News adds: "Wo suppose
that thero is no part of tho world in
