ON TO CUMBERLAND GAP.

Col. 0. c.. King returned from
visit to Granger and Claiborne
counties, in the interest Of the Nor
ristown, Cumberland Gap and Ohio
railroad. last Saturday. We are
pratified to hear from gentleman
who conversed with him on the re-
suits of his mission that he not only
met with warm encouragement but
substantial success. The friends OF
the enterprise were not mkewarm
in their demonstrations, and he Cd
tanned during his brief absence a
considerable amount ofneW stock to
the company, and secured the active
cooperation of leading and infuen-
tial citizens in each of the counties
to further tbs objects of the compa-
nv. What Morristown has done and
is doing for the success Of this enter
prise is an earnest of the sincerity-of
her purpose, and is an example that
should and no doubt will be initiated
and enlarged by the other counties.
The present boom OughttoPenetr@te
and enthuse with new yigor every
household in the three counties. 1t
is pretty clear to us that if the road
is not pushed to a successful com
pletion now, very few of its present
advocates will live to see better
opportunity for its accomplishments
We believe it will weigh anchor and
proudly float out on the present tide.
The meeting called for the election
of directors next Thursday, May o,
should be the largest, as it is by far
the most important, that has yet
been called together. Let the at
tendance be general.

GEO. II. BOYD MEETS A HORRIBLY
DEATH

GEO. H. BOYD MEETS A HORRIBLE
DEATH.
News of the shocking death of
George ii. Boyd, of this place, at
Chattanooga, was communicated TO
his friends and family here few
minutes after its occurrence on the
evening Of Tuesday, April 2Gth,
and threw pail of sadness over our
community. Mr., Boyd was a we'll
known and faithful high ex-officiaI
Of this county, lie had been elect
ed and served two terms as sheriff,
and made an efficient, honest officer.
He was a generous, kindhearted
gentleman, and had the confidence
and sympathy OF q large number Of
our people, Few aspirants had more
influence with partizan leaders and
voters than he for years exercised.
His remains wero brought to this
place and inferred in the Church
yard near Panther Springs on last
Thursday evening. To the bereav-
ed and destitute widow and father
less children the quiellened, heart.
felt sympathy Of our people goes out.
From the Times Of the 9th we
learn these particulars Of tbS hOr-
rible tragedy Mr.. Bovd met his
death in in the NasnVi0o and Chat
tanOoga yards, yesterday evening,
while he was uncoupling a running
switch, The switch trair. consisted
of i0ur ears and looOm, ,tive. and IL
was the intention % uncouple the
ears while In r~..pid motion and
switch them TO one track while t.
locomotive proceeded on ahead, as
Is tue 9s' al custom in rapid switch
ing ,Then- near the Montgomery
ave- lue crossing, the engineer gave
u &c signal to uncouple, and Boyd
stopped forward and drew out the
pin, but as he did so he lost his foot
hold and fell i'm front of the moving
cars, the entire number passing over
his body, which lay athwart tho
rails. No one witnessed the acct
dent. vet as soon as the four cars
passed from over his body the man
gled corpse was discovered. The
effect was horrible. The first
wheels had passed diagonally over
his breast, starting near the shout
der, and in their progress had cut
the trunk in twain;i the remaining
wheels crushed, and tore the legs
into a shapeless mass, and the stom-
ach and bowels prOtruded from
their cavities, the intestines being
drawn out several feet. The sight
was sickeming, the track being
strewn with blood, entrails and
flakes of fle sh for some distance.
Death, of COT rise, ensued immediate

GOOD FOR KNox1LLE.

The Knoxville papers Of Friday
make the authoritative announce
ment that car manufacturing es-
Enlistment, with a paid in capital
of $75, 900, has been organized and
would go to work at once in that
city. The principal stockholders are
Messrs. Roberts and Lott, of Michi-
gan, the Knoxville Car Wheel Com
pany and the Knoxville Iron Com
pany. The ground for site for the
factory, seven acres, has been purch-
ased, and the details for the speedy
completion of the necessary build
ings have been definitely settled.
The shops are to be built during the
summer and equipped with the lat
est improved machinery. When
completed the factory will have a
capacity of turning out five cars per
day, and will give employment to
from 300 to 500 hands. The shops
it is hoped will be ready for car
building early in August, but GER
tainly by the first Of September next.
This is most gratifying news to those
who have at heart the continued
growth and prosperity of Knoxville.
1t is to such enterprises and indus
tries as this that Knoxville must
look for the full measure of the pros
perity that is surely to be hers in
the near future Therefore we wei
come this with the more real and
sincere pleasure. Perhaps at this
time, of all others, it is the most i'm
portant and advantageous manutac-
turing enterprise she could have Sc
cured More railroads will be built
this year in the United States than
during any previous year of our
history. The per cent of increase
of railroads business will be greater
than ever before. The demand for
passenger coaches, freight cars, and
and cars of all kinds will be great
Knoxville has every facility for
building them at the least possible
cost. She has already car wheel
mandatory and all necessary iron
equipments can be furnished there
East Tennessee can supply the wal
nut, poplar, oak and all kinds OF
lumber in abundance. Her railroad
shops have already turned out some
splendidly built ears for the use Of
our roads. But the Knoxville Car
Works will be able not only to sup
ply our own roads, but also to COM
pete with any like establishment in
the North or East in supplying roll
ling stock for Southern roads.

SOMETHING TO THINK OF.

There is no enterprise in a town
more important to its prosperity
than its local press. If such press
is conducted with anything like
public spirit, it is worth more to the
interests of community than any
other enterprise involving the same
amount of capital and labor. Such
a press is the guardian Of the peo-
Piles interests and the protector Of
their liberties. An honest and in
corruptible press makes more sacri-
fees for the public good than any
other business. To certain extent
it becomes, the organ and mouth
piece of the people. 1t is not mere
ly a private enterprise conducted
merely upon mercenary considera-
tiOns.
For these reasons the people, and
those in business especially, should
give their local press a liberal pat
ronage; but we are sorry to say
that the people, in many communi-
ties, give their local papers very
stinted support The columns Of
the GAZETTE give evidence of this
fact, There is but little indication
in its columns of business in our
town; and yet Morristown contains
a population of about two thousand,
well backed by good country.
Then, why can't this town be as
prosperous as other towns OF the
same size {? Is it the lack Of enter
prise? Do our business men think
business and trade will come TO
them without an invitation through
the local press? If they do, they
are woefully mistaken. There is
scarcely a town the size OF Morris
town in the State that does not ad-
vertise four times as much. In
spite of the so-called "dull times,
they are struggling to attract and
catch trade. This is just what the
business men of our town ought to
understand and appreciate. Whom
they Systematically ignore the ad-
vantages of the local press, and by
their course keep it down for want
ofpatronage, they are simply starry
ing out the town and keeping them
selves in the background Of COM
mercial and business enterprise, and
win never succeed in becoming an
enterprising and thrifty community.
Now here is iTHE MORmsT0WN
GAZETTE with a circulation of $50
papers, 300 within the county, and
the balance reaching into the adj
joining counties. Why don't our
merchants and business men reach
out through our columns to grasp |
the trade that is leaving them for |
other markets. J We tell the people +
of Morristown they must arouse and
bestir themselves if they hope TO |
prosper. Stand by your local news
papers-build them up, and they
will build you up as people and as
a live, progressive town.

The New York Sup publishes
correspondence which passed in
1871 between Gems. JubaI A. Early
and William Mahone, and which
found extensive publication at the
time. The correspondence grew
out of publication by Gen. J. Watts
De Peyster in the Historical Mag
astp6 Of memoir Of Gen. Malone,
WHICH was said to haYe had the lat
ter's approval, and which eDntained
several disparaging references to
Gen. Early The latter wrote Gen.
Malone a letter calling his attention
to the offensive paragraphs. Not
hearing from him promptly Gen.
Early addressed Malone 4 sharp
letter, branding every statement in
the biography as regards himself as
false and malicious, and gave notice
that he should insist on an unquali-
fed petr4ctiQn. After some further
correspondence Gen, Early was in
duced to withdraw temporarily at
least his letter to Malone, when the
latter wrote that it was never his
intention "a do fe4 EaaplIF and Fhe
other Confederate officers the injns-
tice which appeared in the article
complained Of. He also had print
ed a revised copy of the memoir, in
which all tho offensive allusilns We're
omitted. Gen. Early expressed his
satisfaction with the retraction, and
this ended the correspondence.

He was born at Portsmouth, N.
H, December 81, 1917, was literally
educated and began his literary Ca
reer as q poet. In his eighteenth
year he read poem before the BOs-

which gained him some reputation:
For twenty-five years he was a
member Of the Boston publishing

stock of personal "reminiscences,
which he was fond Of relating in
lectures aud Biographical sketches.
His acquaintance with Dickens vas
a pleasant episode in his life, of
which he made good use after the
great novelist was dead. Although
not a great liter2ry genius, Mr.
Fields filed an honorable placa iH
American letters, and will be sin
cerely incurred by a wide circle Of
writers and authors who owe their
first success to his kindly encourage
