At the Court House.

Our sanctum was visited lastweek
by Mr.. G. J. Warner, the affable
and popular guaat eouTeur of the
Richmond & McEIreth Dramatic
Co. He says the Morristown Tenn
perance Dramatic Club have en-
gagged the above troupe to give them
two benefit entertainments, Thurs
day and Friday nights. From the
many complimentary press notices
we were shown by Mr., Warner,
two of which we give below, the
troupe is frst-class in every respect,
and never fails to delight an audi
ence. We predict a dramatic treat
for those of our citizens who may
attend.
The Lynchburg NerS, says. ain
conception and execution "Hazel
Klrke," the first presentation of
which in this city was given last
evening, is in the highest degree ar
tistic. 1t is a play, when properly
rendered, in which characters are
thrilling with individual personality
and dramatic action. There is in it
noble and lofty thought; it is shorn
of shame and clothed in pure, virile
and beautiful language. There is
charm in its simplicity it "begins
at the beginning and ends at the
end:"
The Richmond and McElreth
troupe gave fair performance of
the play, and in several instances
elected manifestations of favor from
the audience.
The Luxembourg AdUance says
Hazel Kirke was quite well put upon
the stage at the Opera House last
night by Richmond and McElreth's
Company, the acting of Dunstan
Kirke and Hazel Kirke, was at
times more than good. Pittacus
Green found a perfect exemplifica-
ton ofthe authors idea in Mr., Nc
Elreth's personation The balance
of the support was fine.

4 NEW COMET.

By intelligence received from the
Warner Observatory, Rochester, n.
Y, it appears that still another
comet has just been discovered by
DR.. Gould, Director of the COrdova
Observatory, Argentine Republic,
South America, This comet seems
to be the great comet of1807, and is
located in the Constellation of the
Dove, Right Ascension 6 hours and
Defamation South 30 degrees. 1t is
not visible from this latitude and
not known yet that it will be,
although it is likely to be as the
comet of 1907 was distinctly seen.
No apprehension need be had over
the unusual appearance Of comets
during the present year as they do
not possess the power to work injury
upon the earth or any other planet.
CINCINNATI, June 24.--Prot, Or
mond Stone, ofthe Cincinnati Obser-
vatory, observed the new comet last
night. He says it is moving rap
idly north. He is quite positive it
is not the comet of 1912, but thinks
it may be that of 1907, the return of
which was not expected by astrono-
mers for 100 years. He believes
it is the same comet as the once seen
about June Sd, by Dr. Gould, in
South America. The apparition is
exceedingly interesting, and will be
watched every night by a corps of
astronomers at the Cincinnati OBJ
servatOry.
The comet was plainly visible
here Sunday night, and from a re-
liable source we learn performed
some remarkable gyrations At
nine o'clock it was travelling toward
the horizon, tail upward, at an an
gle of forty-fve degrees; eleven
o'clock found its course changed,
and it was then making due east,
Any more such conduct should cause
it to be arrested under the vagrant

A fendish plot to blow up two
molders employed at the Chicago
Stove Works, was discovered Just in
time to save the lives of these two
men and dozen or more of their
comrades. Just as the two were
about to pour the hot metal into one
of the molds, one of them discover
ed that it had been tempered with.
An investigation showed that two
pounds of gunpowder had been
hidden in tho mold. 1.-THE iron had
heen poured, the instant that it
touched the powder the boiling met
al would have been blown over all
the men in the foundry. The two
men nearest would certainly have
been killed, and all the others in
the vicinity would have been in
terrible peril. The plot is believed
to have been carried ont by strik-
ing molders who have been hanging
around the place for some months.
The police are conducting a vigor-
Gus investigation of the matter.

Prejudice Kills.

Eleven years our daughter suf-
fered on a bed of misery under the
care of several of the best (and some
of the worst) physicians, who gave
her disease various names but no
relief, and now she is restored to us
in good health by assimple a remedy
as Hop Bitters, that we had poohed
at for two years, before using it.
We earnestly hope and pray that
no one else will let their sick suffer
as we did, on account Of prejudice
against so good a medicine as Hop
Bitters. The Parents.-Te Telegram.

TaImago, the celebrated preacher,

Talmage, the celebrated preacher,
who divides with Beecher the honor
of being the most powerful pulpit
orator in the City of Churches, in
his last Sundays sermon took the
following fling at the great railway
magnates: "GQd did not make the
Atlantic Ocean for a few great
whales to swallow up all the small
fish, nor did he make this continent
to furnish a few fat magnates with
blubber. The greatest blessings of
this country are the railroads, made
for us to ride over; but we must not
lie down, as the :sleepers,' and let
the railroads ride over us" He
also laid about him in the most
staIwart fashion on the subject of
the unblushing bribery now going
on at Albany.

CHA TTANO0GA LETTER.
TO the Editor Of The Morristown Gazette:

TO the Editor of The Morristown Gazette:
Thinking that a few notes from
the growing Getty ofthe South might
interest your readers, | take my pen
in hand to drop you few lines. The
most interesting feature OF last
weeks proceedings was the meeting
Of the Tennessee Press Association
which convened at the Court House
on the 10th inst, at 10 a. IN. About
seventy members were present, a
fine looking body of men, and con-
spicous among them was the smil-
ing face of "uncle John" of the GA
zETTE. Thursday night a magni-
ficent reception ives rendered them
at the Stanton House. Friday was
spent on Lookout amid the wonders
of Rock city. Friday evening the
Association was addressed by Gen.
Alex w. Campbell, of Jackson and
Col. Sam w Small, of Atlanta, Ga.
Each Of these gentlemen were en-
tertaining and instructive in a high
degree
Saturday morning the railroad
authorities rendered the Association
special train for the purpose Of
visiting the various industries Of the
city situated on the different lines of
roads. Hon. r. NJ. Barton, jr., one
of Chattanooga rising young men,
was detailed to "show EN- around. "
The first place visited was the Pan
nell Nail and Iron Mills. This mill
is located on the n. & c. r. r. near
the base of Lookout Mountain. 1t
has every facility for transportation
both of material and product, being
near both railroad and river. Its
capacity Is about three hundred
kegs per day already, and is still be-
ing enlarged by additiOnalmachines.
From there we passed to the Lookout
Rolling Mill, Pump Factory, Was
on Car Works, Steam Foundry, Fine
Brick Works and the immense Ro-
gan Iron Mill. The latter is of vast
proportions both in building and
business. This mill is chiefly engag-
ed in the manufacture of steel rails
| with the capacity of about four hun
dred rails per day. Besides these
there are a number Of large manufac-
turing establishments, all doing a
thriving business. Unless some I'M
foreseen causes interfere, there can
be but little doubt but Chattanooga
will be the great manufacturing
center of the South.

What will the American Bible
Society do with the revised New
Testament? The Rev. DR.. Taylor,
formerly Secretary OF the society,
says in the Independent that it will
"wisely and necessarily refuse to be
forced into any measures for the
premature adoption and publication
of a revision which has yet to en-
dure the double test of critical
scholarship and Unpopular approval"
He thinks that the present demand
for the volume is being fully sup
piled by private publishers. "Nor
will Bible SOCIETIES" he adds, "fnd
their vocation gone by continuing
to print and circulate the common
version. The most that they can do
will publish the New concurrently
with the Old, and this will do only
when they find the demand sufi-
GENTLY urgent to justify the change
of constitutions and charters, and
the necessary risks and expenses of
the work; but until there shall be
more unanimity in its favor, on both
sides ofthe ocean, they will make
haste slowly.

BALLAD FOR THE DAY.

Lord Roscoe had a little lamb, its
name was Tommy Platt, and when
Lord Roscoe rose to go, the lamb
no longer sat. 1t followed him
from schooEone day, it was Lord
Roscoe's rule, and why it did it all
can see, it was a little fool "What
makes the lamb love Roscoe so 2"
the togas all did cry; "because Lord
lams the lamb" the knowing did
reply. And poor little Rommy
Plat doth run about and bleat, for,
having loved Lord Roscoe so, it's
lost the public teat.

To the Editor of The Morristown Gazette:
A few days since Maj. - took
the train at Chattanooga for home.
Soon the car became crowded by an
influx of up-cOuntry boatmen who
had been down on "broad-hOrns'
with their produce. One Of them,
long, lank and rough, espied a va
cant seat by the side Of the Major
which he proceeded to occupy.
Scarcely seated he commenced to
catechise him Che must have been OF
yankee extract1on). "Mr. if l might
be so bold, what is your manner He
was answered civily. "Whar do you
live?" "Knoxville." "What bust
ness do you follow ?" Il am law
yer, again civilly. "Whar have you
been ?" "To Chattanooga" "What
did you 90 thar" "HOld on, ,"
said the Major, 'let me ask you
few questions. What is your name?'
Jim -" Where do you live p
an the mountains of old Claiborne"
"Where have you been ?" "To
Chattanooga. "When will you be
down again ?" "Don't know" GLOW
old are your" "Forty years" "Let
me see your teeth p Guny could
stand it no longer, he bolted for the
hind end Of the car, and as the Major
left for the smoking car, the last he
heard of his man was a chorus Of
voices from some dozen of his boat
ing friends-"Jim, let me see your
teeth ?"
