Charters Consolidated.

The stockholders of the E. T. & W.
N. @. railroad company met in john
son City yesterday and transacted reg
ular routine business. The most i'm
portant matter brought before the meet
ing was a resolution offered by General
Hoke to consolidate the road recently
chartered in North Carolina with the
E. 7. & W. N. G. road. The resolu-
ton was adopted and the necessary
steps will be taken to arrange the mat
tiers accordingly.
General Hoke told a COMET repre-
sentative that O new standard gauge
road would be built from Cranberry to
Lincolnton, N. G., distance of seven
ty miles. The narrow gauge road from
Johnson City to Cranberry will be
made a standard gauge. The money
necessary to make these improvements
has been secured and the work will be
pushed vigorously. The Seaboard Air
Line is backing the enterprise and is
driving for the coal fields. It is not
improbable that the company may COM
plete the 0. r. & G. from this point to
the coal fields. The Seaboard must
have coal and this is the natural and
most feasible route. There is no sort
of doubt that the 0. R. & @. road will
be completed. 1t is only question as
to who will do so.

He ALWAYS Leads

1t can be truthfully said Of M. Dyer
& Co., that they always lead, never fol-
low. They walk bravely where others,
less enterprising, fear to tread. They
are constantly adding new and up-to-
date features and spare no expense to
please their customers. They believe
in the first law of nature, "that we live
to eat and eat to live" and also that the
purity and wholesomeness of what one
eats has deal to do with frightening
ones years ON old mother earth. The
same rule applies to the various liquids
used either as a beverage, stimulant or
otherwise. Therefore natural desire
to meet a growing demand among his
numerous patrons for purer and more
wholesome article of beer than has ever
been dispensed in upper East Tennes-
see has caused this enterprising house
to place in the Piedmont House bar a
"Carbonic Automat" beer pump, the
latest and most complete outfit for us
ing liquefed carbonic acid gas in draw
ing and preserving beer in its crigiual
purity. Carbonic acid gas is an essen
tial and natural element of beer, rem
dering it pungent, healthful and re-
freshing. The last drawn from the key
by this process being as fresh and pun
gent as the first. Besides having the
best apparatus they dispense the famous
"Sunny South" beer and there is no
cause for complaint. Having the repu-
tation Of being the leading dealers they
spare neither time or expense to get the
best Of everything for their friends and
customers. This latest device must be
seen and tried before any idea can be
formed of its superiority over the old
! method Of keeping and drawing beer,

Twenty-seven years is the Oge limit
for officers under the new law re-or-
ganizing the army. According to this
provision, the President cannot COM
mission any one an officer who is over
twenty-seven years of age.
This provision will affect hundreds of
patriotic citizens, principally members
of the former volunteer regiments,
from procuring commissions in the ar
my under the new law. A number of
the former officers of the Third Ten
nessee have made application for com
missions. The age limit provision will
affect Col. J. P. Fyffe and Lieut.. Col.
d. M. Coffman, who are now in Wash
ington endeavoring to secure commits
sions.

Will Build the Tannery.

Our readers will remember that n few
years ago a company of Pennsylvania
capitalists began the erection of large
tannery in johnson City, but financial
difficulties arose in the company and
the work was stopped. A lawsuit fol-
lowed and Wing & Hornick, the con-
tractors for the stone foundations, pur-
chased the property for their work. Re-
Gently new life and new money has
been put in the old Pennsylvania Tan
ming company and the contractors have
been paid in full and the plant will be
erected as originally intended, except
for some modern improvements. We
are assured that the spring of the
year will find an army of men at work
on the plant.

In recent address, before the Single
Tax Club, of Chicago, Judge John Glib
bons said:
'"Thoug I differ from you respecting
the vital prindiple underlying the right
of property and stability of tenure, 1
esteem it great honor to have been
invited to address you this ewing. l
will say that I wauld prahibit the sale
of any article or commodity which is
the product of convict or prison labor,
whether manufactured here or else
where. Good roads and clean streets
are vital questions, which engross the
attention of our citizens. 1t occurs to
me that the building of good roads by
prison labor will solve and put to rest
many of these disturbing questions.

Comedy at the Opera House.

The Daily Times, of Richmond, Va,
has the following to say of the Lillian
Tucker Company, which is to appear
all next week at the opera house at
popular prices; "But for the announce
ment on the plays that Miss Lillian
Tucker and Chas. @. Vaughts Come.
dy Company was apopular price attrac-
ton, very few persons in the audience
at the Academy of Music last night
would have recognized the production
of "A Hero in Rags by that organiza-
ton as anything other than the efforts
of a good many of the so-called stan
dard companies seen at the play house
during the current season. The play
was adapted to the talents of the COM
pany, and the members Of the cast new
er lost sight of that fact, for they acted
with unusual vim, and rapidly wheeled
the performance to success. The par
ticular stars of the evening were Miss
Lillian Tucker, charming comedienne,
as Hattie, juvenile heiress, and
Charles Vaught, as Jerry, an excellent
makeup Of a genuine hobo, done with
clean and clever comedy. A number of
bright and exceedingly clever special
ties were introduced between the acts. ;
On Monday night ga Hero in Rags,
will be given here, and seats are now
on sale at the usual places. The curtain
will ring up promptly at s o'clo ok.

Our Townsman Honored.

John W. Boring, President of The
National Plow Handle Manufacturers
Association, attended the annual meet
ing Of the association in Cincinnati last
week, and was reelected President for
another year. This is quite an honor
to Mr.. Boring and one he should APP
preciate. Few persons in johnson City
know there is such an organization in
existence, he having said but little
about it. The COMET congratulates
the association upon its happy selection.
Mr.. Boring is particularly we'll quail
fed for the place and will reflect great
credit upon the association.

UNDER ARMY BILL.
There May Not be A Single New Appoint
ment

Washington, March CT begins to
look as if there would not be a sinele
new appointment under the army bill.
The President and the War Depart
ment think they will be able to get
along with the 90, 900 regulars already
organized, and have decided not to en-
list or provide officers for the $1,000
other men provided for in the bill.
General Corbin said to-day he did not
think another appointment would be
made, at least until it was shown that
the situation could not be held in check
by the $1,000 men, a contingency he
did not expect.
Thereare great horde of young men
in the city seeking appointments, many
who had served in the volunteers now
mustered out These will all 90 home
empty-handed, and the President dis
courages all others from coming.

George E. Williams. Dead.

Last Friday afternoon, George Ed
Williams died at his home near this
city from heart trouble. He had been
ill some weeks, but it was not supposed
that he was in any immediate danger,
his friends believing that his splendid
constitution would pull him through
his illness safely. The funeral Satur-
day was largely attended by many
friends from distance. Interment in

The Storm.

The electrical storm referred to in
our last issue continued all Friday af-
ternoon and turned into the greatest
hail-storm that ever visited this section
about 7 80 in the evening. Hailstones
as large as the end Of your finger fell
in fearful fury for half an hour. 1t
then rained at intervals all night and
all day Saturday and when it had fin
ished farmers all over this section were
startled to find that many of their fields
were literally washed away. The rain
fall was more that four inches and was
unprecedented. Local streams got out
of banks quickly and the rivers knew
no bounds. Fences, roads and whole
fields were washed away and ruined in
places. Many farmers wall have to re-
plant oats in order to raise a crop.
At Happy Valley the lightning struck
the barn of John s. Thomas, one of
Carter county's most prosperous farm
ers, and killed three head of horses and
set the barn on fire. The fire was ex-
tinguished before doing much damage.
Farther up in Garter county, the Doe
river did considerable damage to fences
and outbulldings, particularly about
Roam Mountain and Allentown. Fol
the first time in its history the Doe ran
foot deep in Roam Mountain hote
yard, showing rise of about six feet

ton so far as we are able to learn,

Mr.. G. R. Scharf, representing the
Bristol Paving Company, was in the
city yesterday and closed a contract
with the city and the property owners
along the east side of Main street to
build a granolithic pavement from
Spring to Roam streets. The walk will
be 10 feet wide and will be of uui-
form width throughout. All electric
poles and water cut-offs will be outside
the curb and gutter. To say that this
walk is needed is a horrible waste OF

Ross Smith Has Resigned.

Ross Smith, the best known conduc-
tor on the Knoxville division of the
Southern railway, has resigned his po-
sition and in future will live at his
home in Jonesboro. He has been an
attache of the Southern road for the
past thirty-three years and it is we'll
known that he knows more people in
upper East Tennessee than any other
man on railroad or off one. For many
years he has been conductor of local
train running from Knoxville through
upper East Tennessee and return. This
train is known to the Southern railway
as train No. /, Knoxville division.
but to the people who patronize it it is
known as "Ross Smiths train" Capt.
Smith retires from the service of the
Southern with one of the best records
il is possible for conductor to make.
He will live at Jonesboro, and will
probably enter some mercantile bust
ness.
Captain Smith will be succeeded by
