the millions about our nation and state.
But to whom was the honor due? To
answer this question, it is necessary to
run back the unbroken chain Of events.
Back to the Revolutionary War, while
the Colonies were struggling to break
the shackles of bondage and free them
selves from the throne of George III,
we find our fair country over-ridden
with British soldiery. Athwart the
young nations bosom was a sweeping
tide, which seemed irresistible, the on
rushing torrents must be divided, or
lest the hope of independence be lost.
A division Of the enemy in the south.

the forces-thus making q larger and

this intention, the southern division
must be cut off; which was done by a

tain. This triumphant supremacy es-
tablished by American arms over the
British was the strongest link in the
chain of Colonial liberty, At last
the intruder was driven back; peace
was declared and freedom the reward of
battle. With independence, the youth
of progress came, growing and waxing
in power. The battle of Kings Noun
tain, every child, perhaps has read
with pride; but of the place where the
soldiers met before the long journey
across the mountains, only a few have
been informed. We should not only
speak in terms of praise about the rem
~dezyons, but if within power, visit
the place which time and events have
made famous.
Not long since, I stood almost upon
the same ground, where the clarion
call OF patriotism was responded to oyer
a e%entury past. Seated upon the sand
watching the ceaseless tide as it passed
around to the sea, I turned backwards
with the flight of years, things past,

then rassed away like smoke and va

1t is the easiest thing in the world to
get peple accustomed TO and indifferent
to large public expenditures. Only q
few years ago the appropriation of a
billion dollars by the republican Con-
gress aroused the public opinion Of the
country, and elected a democratic
President and Congress. Since then,
about every Congress has been a billion
dollar Congress, and the present Con-
gress, which has already appropriated
almost a billion dollars, will, by the
end of the coming short session, have
reached the two billion mark. 1t is
true that a considerable portion of this
money is chargeable to the war, the
public expenditures are entirely too
extravagant, and might be largely cur
tailed without lessenig the efficiency Of
the government.

AROUND The FURNACE,

If there is n thing that gives The
COMET more pleasure to announce, than
another, it is the fact that the furnace
is being completed as fast as unlimited
capital can command labor, and will be
operated permanently. This is a par
ticularly sweet morsel to US, for we have
talked furnace until we scarcely be-
lieved our own stories. We would like
to have seen the plant completed and
operated under General Wilder's man
agement, but it could not be thus, and
we are glad to have it fall into the
hands of the Embreville Iron Compa-
ny Limited, and be managed by their
popular manager, Mr.. Guy R. John
son.
The most skeptical in johnson City
can be convinced that they mean bust
ness by visiting the plant, and Johnson
City people generally are showing their
appreciation of the work by visiting it
during the week or on Sunday. After
several years of quietude everything
about the place is hustle and confusion.
In the Office will be fonnd John W.
Cure busy with books and co~rrespon-
dence. This is the only familiar figure
in the new management and its a pleas
IRE to look upon him in such work.
Down at the plant, there is lifel Ma
chiuists are cleaning up and oiling the
ponderous engines and pumps, the
hosting machinery and all other ma
chinery about the place is being put in
good condition.
Masons are refining the stoves and
furnace with friedrich and tearing out
the arches beneath the ground and
putting them in with friedrich.
The reservoir is about completed,
and the big cistern neal the pump
house is finished. Water for the re-
~servoir will be brought from Brush
Creek in q - inch main. The pipe line
will be laid from the creek where it is
crossed by the 0, R. & 9. near the
tank. The water will be allowed to
settle in the reservoir and then be
strained into the c~istern, settle again
and then be pumped into the boilers.
The contract for the store building
has been let to M. H. Campbell and is
to be ready for occupancy in 80 days.
1t will be 30x70 feet and will be built
on End avenue ear the office.
The foundation for an addition to the
dwelling formerly occupied by H. w,
Hargreave has been completed and the
woodwork Is under way.
The furnace property, 81 acres, will
be fenced with barbed wire and a high,
close board fence will be put around
the furnace proper. The lines for this
fence have been run and staked off.
The company has a force of laborers
at work building sidings around the
plant for convenience in handling ma
t9rial. One track is being graded back
of the blast house and around to the
stock house. Two others will be put
in back of the boiler house through
the ore yard.
