WHITE CAPS AGAIN
Drive a SEWER County man from
His Home.


Another citizen of Sewer county
has been driven from his home by
that lawless clan, the whitecaps, which
have been terroizing citizens of that
county the past five years and which
also by their nefarlous practices have
cast a mantle of disgrace on the name
OF that sncs law abiding and peace
able bailiwick. The information OF
the whitecaps again pursuing their
depredations in Sewer county was
brought by Samuel Lowe, a Blount
county citizen who farms near Mary
vile. His story was that his brother,
Bob Lowe, who has been living on
his farm in Richardson's cove with
his family five miles east of SEWER
vile came to his (Samueps) home and
said that he had received two notices
from the whitecaps telling him that if
he and his family did not leave the
county in ten DAYS life to them would
not be at all pleasant. Two notices
were received. The first was week
ago and no attention was paid to it,
but Thursday the second missive was
found on his front yard gate post in
which he was told to make his exit
postehaste or he would be delt with
sumarlly. Lowe took due heed and
at once set ou for his brothers home,
his intention being to there inquire
for future location for his family.
Lowe told reporter to day that his
brother would be put in stringent
circumstances by having to comply
with the wishes of the outlaws as he
had by industry and honesty bough'
and paid for nice little farm or
which he intended to spend the re,
mainder of his days with his family
But now has been driven from j
where all his worldly possessions lay
and that he, would have to begin lif,
anew in destitution as he could no
sell his farm for half the worth of it.
1t is the opinion OF many who ar,
conversant with loves case that hi
unknown enemies are set of men il
the cove who have resorted to thi
method of making him leave til
community In order that they coul
then gain possession of his estate a
song Farthur that they had don

Pat. Stinett, who was at work in
the mine on P. M. Chapman's farm,
spoken OF elsewhere in this issue,
came very near getting his head
blown offwhile blasting. Two shots
were placed close together, one OF
which went off and Shnnett went to
examine the hole when the other one
went off. His hat was torn off and
his face and head burned. 1t is
thought he will be none the worst for
his adventure, save few scares, as
his eyes are not seriously injured.

The absve picture was taken in
1877 while Capt. McCammon was in
the legilature and it was the latest
picture the family had.
Oliver P. McCammon died at his
home near Clover Hill, Feb. 16, 1897,
after suffering for several months
with rheumatism and heart trouble.
He was born, Oct. 9, IS4o, being in
his 9th year at the time of his death.
He was one of eleven children of
Sam Martha McCammon of
Knox county, who at the time ne
was born lived eight miles South of
Knoxville. He was married to Ann
E. Mccall, daughter of Andrew and
Polly Mccall, July IS, 1865 and
moved to Blount county, Jan. 4, 1866.
Five children were born to them,
three sons and two daughters, one
son dying when only about five years
of age.
Mr.. McCammon crossed the
mountains in company with several
ether union men and enlisted in the
defense of his country, Augu.t I6,
1861. He served during the war and
returned home July 8, 1865. He en-.
listed as private, was seon made
Commissary and then was promoted
to the rank of Captain in the 3rd
Tennessee Cavalry.
He was sent as the representative
of this county to the legislature in
1877, where his cool and deliberate
judgement made him valuable man.
He served the county as tax assessor
frsm 1888 to 1898 and it was in this
office that he did much to equalize
the taxation of the lands OF the rich
and poor. His firmness and good
judgement enabled him to make q
better taxation than ever before.
His aged wife, two sons and two
daughters Of his immediate family are
still living, also four sisters three
brothers.
All but about eight years of Capt
McCammon's life was spent on thu
farm and as he was good manage
and worker he amassed comfortable
living AID leaves considerable prop
erty to his family, Of whom he wal
always very considerate.
Capt. McCammon was man whit
was cautions, but when he once made
up his mind he was very aggressive
and energetic man. When j he ha'
cnce decided anything was right h
went ahead and did that assuming al
of the consequences.
The funeral was attended by tn
largest crowd we ever saw at funel
in the country thus showing the uni
versal esteem in which the desease
was held by all.
Prof. Golf conducted the services
preaching from Rev. IL: 8.
A man has gone who will be great
ly missed and his memory will liv
long IN Blount county for he was
man whose good influence will reac
far beyond this comparatively shol
life time. He assured his family thu
he would meet death without a singl
fear as his trust was in higher power
