THE COMET.
Onnson CITY, Tenn. Mar. IS, 1890.
THE DAILY COMET.

Believing the time has come in the
history of Johnson City when it is
demanded, we will begin the publica-
ton of the DAILY COMET, on the First
of April. Johnson City is no longer a
village, but is rapidly growing into a
city of no mean proportions and its
prospects for future prosperity are
Frightening every day.
The COMET has watched its growth
for six years, from watering place on
one railroad to a great railroad CEN
ter, with three good roads and fair
prospects of as many more in another
year, and it has been its pride to note
she prosperity from week to week. In
starting Daily we can have no high
err ambition than to build up johnson
City and grand old East Tennessee,
and shall labor earnestly and unceas-
ingly to that end
We have partly canvassed the city
and find that the Johnson City peo-
pie, whs never flicker nor falter, are
more than willing to give it their
hearty support. If all parties do their
duty the DAILY COMET will not only
live but will be a paper that will be
the pride OF every citizen. We be-
leve it will have that support or it
would not be started.
1t will be 7-column paper.
1t will be a business newspaper"
and not a political organ,
Competent staff and special writers
have been employed and no pains will
be spared to make it first-class in ev-
cry respect
1t will be a morning paper and will
take the Associated Press reports.
It will appeal to YOU for support
will you give it?

The Supreme Court of the United

cans show any disposition to delay the
case in either court he will sue cut a
mandamus to stop the Treasury Off
cials from paying the salary of the
man who has been illegally given the
seat belonging to him. It is well that
this question is to be legally decided
and the sooner the decision can be
gotten the better,

Of having deceived the Secretary Of

the Superintendent of the Census in
order to obtain a place in the CEN

Looking for Chance to CrOwI Out.


If the Bristol, Elizabethton & North Carolina
road should be failure, which we do not think
probable, Bristol men will build anarrow guage
road from Bristol to Watauga Point in Carter
County.
How could the road be a failure
when $4,000 have already been sub
scribed and Carter county will give
$4,000 and Johnson Co. $4,000
morOf When the people OF Bristol
make up their minds what they want
to do, perhaps they can do it, certain
ly not until then. They are now get
ting down to common sense. A mar.
row guage road to WaJauga Point
would give Bristol all the ore it
wanted and the Bristol capitalists
could unload their property at Wa
tauga City at living prices. In that
case where would Elizabethton come
in for her benefits? Any practical
man knows that road such as pro-
posed by the B. +. & N. G. Co. would be

The Norfolk & Western road will
not build line into Tennessee, as
that would be gsing into the territory
claimed by a connecting line, but, if
the people of Bristol will build the
line the Norfolk and Western will be
glad to receive the freight, and will
make low rate.-Courier.
The claim has been heretofore that
the N. 4 W. people were backing the
B. Z. & &c. because it wanted an
outlet from Bristol other than the E.
T. V. & G. If the N. & w. is bottled
at Bristol it is strange it would not
remedy matters if it could. The truth
iS the N. & W. people know a line
from Bristol as proposed by the B. E.
4 N. G. Co. would be of no service to
them and they wont touch it.
