COKE OVENS
WILL BE BUILT AT DUNLAP
Douglass Coal & Coke Company Raising
Funds.

Capt. John Frater, Of Victoria, min
ing expert and engineer for the Doug
lass Coal & Coke Company, Dunlap,
Tenn, said to a News reporter Satur-
day that this company will build fifty
coke ovens at Dunlap just as soon as
the money for the same can be raised,
the general manager of the company
now being in the east for that purpose
1t is not generally known that a coke
oven is an expensive affair, costing
when complete $4,000, the principal
items being for friedrich and sandstone,
which is OF special variety brought
from the top of the mountain. Owing
to the presence of mica in the ordinary
cliff limestone, it is not suitable for the
purpose AT Dunlap, however, large
body Of the kind of sandstone required
b as been found in one of the coves ad-
jacent, but how it got there is hard to
tell
The Dunlap coal, while of excellent
variety, is so soft that it will not do for
domestic purposes, and hence a great
deal Of it will have to be made into
coke.

A JACKSONlAN DEMOCRAT.
Messrs. Editors:

Since the last issue of your valua-
bic periodical great many things in
regard to political affairs, to my
plnion have emerged into current
issue. Many things that were invisi-
BILE then are visible now to the eyes
of the political world and God alone
knows what will be revealed in a
fortnight hence.
News has just reached this neck of
the woods that J. b. Martin who re-
sides at Whitwell, Tennessee, is a
prospective candidate and aspIrant to
the office of County Court Clerk,
subject to the will of the people by
convention or primary. Now | can
not endorse his plan. | cannot for
the life of me see why we should
leave it to the will of the people.
We did not expect to leave 1t either
TO a convention or primary. This
will undo what we already have
done, the name of James Price is al
ready before the people and as we
know he has already been endorsed
by five good men of Marion county
why should we leave it to the will of
the people? These good men have
promised the vote of the entire coun-
ty to Price and | think they are in
honor bound to support him. Mar
tin seems to want the voice of the
people but why is he not willing to
leave it to say eight or ten good men
and save all this trouble. 1t seems
to me that he is capable of filling the
office he aspires to. He ought to be
aware of the fact that the majority.
of the people are laborers like myself
and have MT the knowledge to solve
a problem so important as the abOye.
| have taken a trip to Chattanooga
to see Prince Henry of Germany,
and was very much elated with his
appearance and surrounding, and
you know he has many things to his
liking, and fortunately was born into
the Royal family. How nice it
would be for us to have a prince in
our county, also dukes and earls and
counts. My mind reverts back to
some good men among us that
would be fit subjects for princes
dukes, earls and counts.
Now, in the spat between Tilmar
and McLaurin | am for McLaurin
Could not be for Tilman because
think his views in politics are inclin'
ed to favor the mass of the people
and do not accord with combines OF
trusts. Therefore, | think him un
fit to dine with President Roose
velt.
Now in this, as in all previous
articles l beg you to vote for M
NJ. Allison and James Price as yOl
are pledged by our worthy lead
ers.

Shutup your mouths about such trash

LIKE A MIGHTY RIVER.

Life bears US on like the current of a
mighty river. Our boat at first glides
down the narrow channel, through the
playful murmurings of the little brook,
and the windings OF its happy border.
The trees shed their blossoms over
our young heads; the flowers on the
brink seem to smile as us. We are
cheered up and we reach out for the
beauties around us, but the stream
hurries US on and we find our hands emp
ty. Our course in youth and manhood
is along a deeper and wide flood.
The stream bears US on and on, and
our joys and our griefs are alike left be-
hind US. We may be shipwreacked but
we cannot anchor. Our voyage may be
FASTENED but not delayed. Whether
rough or smooth the river hastens to-
ward its home; we are called out into
the great Beyond and of our future
voyage there is no witness but the In
finite and Eternal.
But after all disappointments and
troubles there are many thingsto cheer
us up. The sweet singing birds chant
their melody and the beautiful noun
tain peaks seem to be praising the
great Creator. The golden grain waves
to and fro and the radiant southern
skies bend over free country, and a.
bove all there is just God, and if we
will only serve him l think our days
will be full of sweet peace and JOY SC
shining that our life will be a land oi
flowers. JNO. HACkWORTH,
