A WONDERFUL PROCESS.

Several days ago we received from
Messrs. Hall & Ruckel, manufacturers
of Sozodont, the best tooth wash known
to civilization today, a letter contain
ing fifteen newspaper clippings in refer
euce to their elegant preparation. The
fact that they had so many kindly no.
tees from the press did not surprise us
but the manner of presenting them Wi S
truly wonderful. 1t required the clcs-
est scrutiny to distinguish that the
clippings were really not cut from the
papers and pasted on the letter sheet
and the credits written in ink above.
Not only was there fac smile of the
type used but the tint of the paper was
maintained and was the most "fetch-
ing" part Of the process. The work is
done under patents taken out by
Mr.. L. J. Hall, of the firm, and is the
first, best and only valid patent exist
ing for such work. The process is as
great a success as Sozodont and that is
saying great DEAL

Going After Relics of Antiquity With Sharp
Stick.

The money weight system is a system
which aims at the abandonment of
pounds and ounces in weighing, and
this seems to be the very thing this
system is doing. 1t is driving the old
pound and ounce scales to the scrap
piles. The money weight system
weighs every thing in its money value
lie, in dollars and cents instead of pounds
and ounces.
In this day and generation when we
are not compelled to use postage stamps
and wampum for money, we ask for so
many cents worth, or so many dollars
worth of an article when we make a
purchase, and there is but on sure way
of getting what you ask for, and that is
by using the money weight system
The Computing Scale Co., of Dayton,
Ohio, have given the public this great
system, and it may be seen right here
in johnson City, upon the counters OF
Lyle's up-to-date grocery. We invite
all our customers to inspect it. The
achievements of this scale are so won
derful that you can't help but be inter-
ested and be impressed by its great &C
curacy and wonderful simplicity.

The House Judiciary Committee has
hung up Senator Tillman's bill to per-
nit the states to control liquor carried
into them in original packages, and it
will remain so unless some member of
the committee who voted against re-
porting the bill can be induced to get
the matter up again. Representative
Latimer is working with that end in
view, and thinks he will succeed. The
bill was passed by the Senate some
time ago and was intended to aid the
South Carolina authorities to enforce
the liquor dispensary law, which was
weakened by a United States Supreme
Court decision. The principal obs c.
ton to the Tillman bill by members Of
the committee who voted against re-
porting it was that it would be a step
towards giving states the right to con-
troll interstate commerce.

Gar Reeds latest bit of suppression
was to wipe Friday and Saturday off
the House calendar. Friday is private
bill day in the House, and on last Fri
day that the House was in session,
enough republicans voted with the
democrats to pass a number of private
bills, in defiance of the opposition of
the Gar and his agents on the floor.
In order to prevent repetition Of such
tactics the Gear made the House adj
journ from last Thursday to Monday,
and it is said that he intends to do the
same thing every week, in order to
make sure that no more private bills
are passed.

Unless all signs fail, as they some
times do, the treaty for the annexation
of Hawaii will have its fate settled
this week. The Committee on Foreign
Relations, acting upon the expressed
doubt of Senator Teller, one Of the
strongest annexationists, as to their
ability to ratify the treaty, will get Il
test vote in the Senate. If 4 the vote
shows that the tws-tAirds are for the
treaty, its early ratification is certain,
as the opposition would not prolong the
fight with certain defeat ahead Of them
if the vote shows, as it probably will,
that the treaty cannot be ratified, it will
at once be dropped, and joint resolu-
ton for annexation brought to the

JOHNSON UITY
The Future Manufacturing Center OF East
Tennessee.


In the last issue of THE COMET we
made the statement that johnson City
was more dosirably located for a manu-
featuring center than any town in the
state, being situated as it is in the very
heart of one Of the finest coal, mineral,
and timbered countries in the south,
and having many advantages over other
towns in this country. We stated
further that the merchants and farmers
of the surrounding country were in
better condition than they had been for
years, and still further that more fac
tories were being operated and in course
of erection than any town Of its size in
the state. While the majority Of the
citizens are wide awake and aggressive,
but like all other towns, we have few
''moss backs" yet living, who do all in
their power to talk the town down, and
do everything possible to crush the
very life out of it. Now it was some of
this class who remarked that we were
just little wrong in making the state
ment chat Johnson City had more
factories in operation and being con-
structed than any town of its size in the
state" We are not wrong, and if these
same parties will stop whiting upgoods
boxes and splitting tobacco juice on the
side walks long enough to do some
figuring themselves they will be fHlly
convinced that such state of affairs
exists in this city. We are unable to
understand why our own citizens who
have lived here their lives almost will
seek every opportunity to say damage
ing things about the town. 1t seems
to us that such people would prefer
living some where else, anyway, as the
town would be much better off without
them. Below we give the factories in
operation and being constructed at the
present time.
The United States Tanning Co., en-
ploying from 50 to 100 hands.
Plow handle factory, operated by
BoringBros. employing about 25 hands.
Johnson City Foundry and Machine
Works, working from 25 to 80 machin-
lists and labors.
Heading factory, employing about 80
hands.
Stave factory, employing a number
of hands.
Two insulator pin factories.

will be completed within 30 or 90 days
The Uptegrove Veneering factory,
which will be very large concern, and
will employ from so to rs mechanics
and laborers.
G. G. Harris & Co., are erecting q
large building for the purpose of man
ufacturing pick, hammer and rake
handles, and in addition will make all
kinds of dimension stuff, exporting 9
large per cent of their output.
Tho Union Pipe Co. are getting in
their machinery, and will be in opera.
ton within few weeks.
The above is fine showing for oul
town, but is only the beginning o.
what we will have within the next few
years, as capitalists from the east are
coming south moro and more each year,
, and with our natural resources, and
proper encouragement, there is no rea.
son why johnson City will not become
large manufacturing town.
