Bristol has population of more than
10000, but about half of it is in Vir-
ginia, and Virginians don't register or
vote in Tennessee. Still the registra-
tion was light, due chiefly to the fact
that there was no election just ahead.
Bristol Courier.
The election just behind should be
reason enough. The fact that Bristol
is in two States is weIl-known to us,
and the further fact that the democrat
ic party in that section is also in two
states has recently been brought to our
attention. If something heroic is moi
done the indications are it will be
merged into the state of innocuous des-
uetude, to aptly quote distinguished
fisherman. In future if you pay of
much attention to party lines as you
do to State lines registration will be
