There is a wide gulf between the
civil service commission and Perry
Heath, First Assistant Postmaster
General. Perry issued a notice the
other day to all Federal office holders
that there was nothing in the Civil
Service law to prevent their jumping
in and w%hooping up things for republic
q candidates, and that administra-
ton expected them to do it, or words
to that effect. The Civil Service Com
mission has issued a circular to the
members Of the seven hundred of ex-
aminers throughout the country, warn
ing them against "pernicious political
activity" under penalty of removal
from the Boards. Inasmuch as the
members Of these Examining Boards
are, in almost every instance, Federal
Office holders and that their removal
from the boards would not affect their
Offices, the penalty is not a severe one
by any means.

Who are Ward & Friberg?
They are the leading retail people of
East Tennessee. They carry the largest
stock and greatest variety Of merchan-
disc, and have q most enviable reputa-
ton for selling the best values for the
lowest prices. Ward n Friberg are the
men who can and do sell everything
from a needle to an electric light plant.
They buy from fifteen to twenty thou.
sand dollars worth of shoes per annum,
and so well pleased were they with
stock, make and prices of Mr.. Maho-
ney's line, that they at once proposed
that if the Smith, Mahoney & Briscoe
Shoe Company would give them the
exclusive control .of their goods in
johnson City, that they in turn would
buy every dollar Of their shoe stock

JOHN g. CHAFFiN IN TROUBLE.

On last Friday morning about II
o'clock, John G. Chafin shot and in,
stantly killed Warren Z. NJ. CRUDE, at
Greeneville, South Carolina. CRUDE
was the architect of a building Chafin
had the contract to build and CRUDE
was retaining $50. 90 uutiI certain spe-
.ciications were complied with, Chaffin
contended that the work was complete.
A difficulty occurred in Grube's office,
bnt is not known Just what was said in
the room. Parties in adjoining Offices
heard loud talking and then heard the
office door slam. Chafin was then
heard to say; "You G. a" WHAT'S
that you say" came from Mr., CRUDE at
once. DR.. Norwood looked out of DR..
Welden's Office on the same floor at this
moment and saw Chafin fire the fatal
shot. The men were only about 3 feet
apart at the moment aud the shot en-
tered the center of the left temple and
lodged in the back of the head. After
the firing Chafln coolly sat down on
the banisters nearby and waited for an
officer to come and arrest him. One
eye of CRUDE had the appearance OF
having been struck with a fist and
Chafin had a bruised arm indicating
an encounter in the room before the
shooting in the hall.
The coroner's jury returned the fol-
lowing verdict after five minutes con
sultation: "Warfen E. M. CRUDE came
to his death from a pistol shot by the
hands of John U. Chafin, wilfully, by
the said John G. ClaAin." Chafin is
now in Jail. Hel:s employed counsel
and has not vet given his version Of the
affair. The local papers speak we'll of
the murdered mar and seem to think
the killing was uncalled for.
MI. Chafin lived here with his fami
ly for several years and, while high
tempered, never showed any murder.
traits and he and his noble wife
have many friends here who regret to
hear of this recent trouble. f

Dangers of ApathY,


Unless there is a remarkable awaken
ing of the democrats in Davidson coun-
ty between now and Nov. s the vote
for the gubernatorial aud legislative
tickets will be q severe disappointment
to the candidates and will also reduce
the county's representation in the next
State convention. Less than $500 vo-
ters have qualified by paying poll tax,
although there are probably 10000 men
eligible to vote in the county. Over
10000 polls we're assessed in 1897, and
yet only 3, 1877 had been paid up to Sep
TENDER 1 last. About 200 have been
collected since that date. The regis
tration books will show about 30, 900
qualified voters when they close to-
night.
The campaign managers both State
and county-must institute some
movement for arousing the demo-
Gratis. The legislative candidates must
get out among them-opposltion or no
opposition-and get them interested
The next legislature will have great
questions before it, questions in which
every man, woman and child in Ten
nessee viii be virtually interested, and
our Legislators should feel that are they
backed by a vote representative of a
large majority of the people Of the
county. To be elected by q vote as
small as that thrown for the county
candidates last August will be most
discouraging. A few we'll advertised
