A crowd Of Bristol people held a rail-
road meeting at Blountville last Mon
day in the interest of the proposed
line from Bristol to Kingsport. There
were speeches made by some very
prominent gentlemen-the same gen.
tlemen who talked the Three C's to
Bristol-but it wouldn't enthuse. The
people Of Sullivan are not built that
way. Resolutions we're offered, in
which the resoluters thought it wise
to subscribe $4,000 or $4,000 per mile
to any railroad in Sullivan county not
now under construction-or, in other
words, the people of Bristol are per-
fectly willing for Sullivan county to
subscribe any sum to railroad COM
pany, provided the railroad is built to
Bristol then the county would be
benefited, but the Is miles OF road the
Three C's are building in the county
will be of no benefit. If Bristol wants
a railroad, let it do like johnson City
vote $4,000 without an opposing
vote, and get it, We did not ask the
county TO subscribe a cent, and the
Three C's will give it 16 miles more
railroad to tax. The Courier says
there was good crowd at the meeting
"at the beginning, butthe wind which
whistled through the broken windows
soon drove them out" The crowd
dispersed, and the wind moaned as il
sighted McDowell's whiskers. The
whole matter was postponed until the
first Monday of the next Circuit Court

Joseph Shell, OF Bluff City, met with
a serious accident near here few days
ago. He started from home in buggy
with his wife and two children to visit
his mother, who lives near here on
Garland's Branch. When in sight of
his mothers house, on a dug road,
the horse fell, and with the buggy and
its contents rolled down the hill, 25 or
30 feet, into the branch. Shell and his
wife were rolled over by the horse and
seriously injured, the children almost
miraculously escaping injury. The
least child was babe only few
months old. DR.. ]. w. Wallace was
hastily summoned and dressed their
wounds, and they are now in fair
way to recover.
The Pennsylvania capitalists have

Several of the young men OF the

marriage of Miss Mary Rodes to Geo

last Wednesday, the End. Miss Rodes
has spent several summers and winters
here, and will be remembered as
very bright and altogether charming
young lady, That this is so is evi

announcement was received by some
of the young men. They join the

Election at Chattanooga.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Oct. S.-The
first election in this State under the
Australian system of voting occurred
here to-day in the municipal election
1t was the most quiet election ever
known in the city, and less money was
used at the polls, and there was also
less Illegal voting than in any previous
election. A light vote was polled, and
the election resulted in the election o.
John A. Hart, Republican, for Mayor
by 1913 mojority and ten Republicans
out of sixteen councilmen, and two
councilmen tie,

which Disguised the party workers and
made them nkewarm in the fight.
Consequently, any success that the
Democrats might gain they would
naturally regard as Christmas gift
from Russell Harrison. The outcome
of that vealy young mans efforts at
5ossism exceeds the widest hopes Of
the Democrats. They carry Montana,
securing a Congressman and two
United States Senators, besides plac
ing themselves in a position to contest
the State hereafter, with the advan
tage on their side.
South Dakota has elected two Rep
resentatives and the other new States
one each. So that the Republicans gel

The elections in the four new States
brought an agreeable surprise to the
Democrats. They expected Washing
ton and the two Dakotas to go Repub-
lican, and only claimed a fighting
chance in Montana. This territory
went Republican last year by 5,lS4
majority, and the Democrats would
have had no hope OF carrying it but
