It having been announced that
there would be a meeting of the col
ored citizens of Hamblen county, at
the Court House on the evening of
the 9th inst, to appoint delegates to
a district Convention at Bulls Gap,
in Hawkins county, in May. BY z
o'clock a large proportion of the col
ored citizens of the county had come
together. The meeting was soon
organized by electing Orange Burks
Chairman, and appointing w. 6.
Moore and A. L. West Secretaries.
The Chairman in brief and pointed
address explained the object of the
meeting. On invitation by the chair
several others made short but thrill
ling speeches. The following gen
tlemen were appointed delegates:
Orange Burks, Henry Walker An
derson Parrot. A. l.. West, Landon
Erwin, Andrew Newborn, George
Brown, Hreston Erwin, and Sneec
Bewley.
Upon motion, the Secretaries
were instructed to report the pro

GEN. JOS. a. MABRY.

Gen. Joseph A. Mabry, of Knox
Vile, is spoken of by his friends as
suitable man to send to the State.
Senate from that Senatorial district.
We clip this editorial paragraph
from the Chattanooga Commercial
and are glad to see in it a disposi-
ton to recognize the services of Gen.
Mabry by his party. While the
General has always been a decided
Republican, in his affiliations, he
has at the same time been a UeTy ttb-
eraL one, and if he is brought out for
the State Senate we do not suppose
Ne viii have any serious opposition.
If the irrepressible Forney was en-
titled to the Secretaryship of the U.
S. Senate on the grounds OF his
newspaper fecundity, Gen. Mabry
richly deserves n Senatorial boost
fer the manliness with which he
wrestled with adversely to keep alive
Republican organs. At one time
he owned and run the entire Repub'
lican press of the State-was the
only man in the South with nerve
sufficient to face the herculean task
of publishing 1.-TWO papers-botf

and Times and the Knoxville Wing
But independent of what he has con
tributed in newspapers, he possesses
other essential elements of strength

THE CONNECTICUT VERDICT.

The result of tie recent election
in Connecticut for Governor is as
follows: Ingersolls Dem.s 46784 ];
Harrison. Rep. 4OO42; Smith,
Temp, 1926. The total vote of the
State was 91.671 Ingersoh's plur-
atty, 6,742; IngcrsolI's majority
over all, ,O16. The Senate stands
II Democrats to 4 Republicans.
The House stands 14O Democrats,
SO Republicans and Independents.
The election seals the fate of Sena-
tor Buckingham, whose place is to
be supplied by the Legislature at
its approaching session. 1t is said
that he left his seat in the Senate
and went home in order to save the
State and himself if possible, but it
was of no use the Democrats swept
everything before them, and Buck
ingham's head is one of the first
fruits of the victory. The new Sena-
tor, whoever he may be, will be the
solitary one of the Democratic faith
from New England. That section
of the Union has not had a Demo
crat in the Senate since the beginning
of the war.

THE CONGRESSIONAL RACE

THE NGRESSIONAL RdCEs
To the Editor Of the Morristown Gazette:
A number of aspiring scribblers
are discussing the fitness and unfit
ness of Congressional aspirants, and
it seems that among them Gov. Sen
ter has some friends. Let this be as
it may, think it not in very good
taste for Democrats and Conserya-
tives to say much about the race as
it now stands. Your correspondent
is of opinion that Gov. Sentcr has
received all the reward he deserves
by his last election. He has no ex-
traordinary fitness nor strength for
Congress; and the talk about getting
up q Juror in his favor is all bosh |!
Between Butler and Gillenwaters,
honest patriotic Democrats can have
no choice. It strikes me that blush
of shame would tinge the cheek of
real, genuine, stanch, patriotic Con-
S6ENaLlNe, WnSuON0E lG WOuAo -GAAlAA
of it, should he so far forget his man.
hood as to vote for either of them.
Then why not let the Congressional
contest alone. just as you are doing.
Let US look after more important
interests. Let US be on the alert and
see that good mon are elected to rep
resent us at Nashville. Let us as a
party in this district not be so fool
ish as to become excited over that
which can do us no good. AS things
now stand, Butler has bill of sale
of this district, and he is, according
to my way of thinking, as good as
either of the others. and if my opin
ion was plainly expressed, it would
not be very fattering TO either.

TIE WESTERN N. @. RAIL
ROAD

The last AsheYille Eepositor con-
tains a letter from Col. w. A. Smith,
President Of the North Carolina
Railroad Company. on the subject
of Consolidation. and in reply to in
quiries as to the early completion of
the road. He gives assurance that
he is using every effort to induce the
stockholders and bondholders to ac-
cept the late act of the legislature,
notwithstanding its Objectionable
features, in the hope that the next
legislature will be liberal and give
such legislative aid as is necessary
to complete the great enterprise.
After referring in a very fOrcible
manner to the main objections to the
bill, the President says:
You will see, therefore, that the
Legislature failed to give the Com
pany vital power in the matter Of
the gauge, forced upon them an
odious restriction in the selection Of
their managing agent, and deprived
them of the control Of their finances
in the disposition Of the bonds from
the proceeds Of which the extension
of the Western Road has to be CON-
pleted.
The Stockholders of the North
Carolina Railroad cannot see the
reason or the Justice Of such restric-
tons and hindrances, nor why they
should be regarded with such sus-
picion, especially when they know
that tue same Legislature gave to a
foreign Company, in similar case,
a Charter not only free from all this.
but containing powers and privileges
and immunities unparalleled in the
history of our State. / allude to the
Charter granted to the foreign adj
venturer Oaksmith and his foreign
friends.
In this view of the case it was
natural to expect that some time
would be required to reconcile those
interested in so extensive corpora-
ton as the North Carolina Railroad
Company. have labored incessant-
ly to induce the Stockholders and
the Bondholders to accept the pro-
posed Amendments, believing. as l
do, that the people of the West will
demand of those who seek their suf
frages in the coming elections, that
the grievances complained of by the
Company shall be promptly remedi-
ed, when the next Legislature meets
and l have reason to believe that,
with this understanding, the Stock
holders, at their meeting in Sails
bury, on the 10th, proximO, will ac-
