now to be referred to him in NewYork,
and enable some of the buildings to be
permanently located, which have thus
far been only located tentatively.
The advisability of locating the pow
err house on an elevation above the
buildings to be supplied with steam
may be an engineering problem which
the future must solve.
1t is proper to say that the impress
sions of distances and location of build
ings were obtained from the plans which
were shown me at the time Of the in.
spection, but later information is given
me that these plans were only tentative
and many changes Of location have
been approved. Just what they are
am unable to say.
If the Branch is made compact it will
prove convenient and desirable.

Over at Shelbyville Evangelist Nor
rison is conducting religious revival
that revives. A report says: Zone
man, a prominent citizen Of this place,
became converted at this meeting and
resolved to pay every debt he owed.
He went about settling and taking re-
ceipts., He paid $40 to a merchant
here. The merchant said he had moth
ing on his books against him. The
man insisted that he owed him and this
was a very old account, and made him
take it," We have invited Rev. Morri-
son to come to johnson City at our ex-
pense and expect to clear up our delin-
quent list. This old time religion is
good enough for us.
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1903-02-05

The COMET may differ with some of
the temperance advocates in Johnson
City, but we are strictly in harmony
with the father of the bill. In an in
terview in the Nashville American Of
last Sunday Senator Adams said
''In view of the fact that majority
Of the members of the present legisla-
ture have pledged themselves to then
constituents to vote for an act giving
them the right of local self.government,
it is my opinion that, in the interest Of
temperance and as matter of party
policy, towns Of from 1000 to 5000 in.
habitants desiring to surrender theil
charters, should give the people of sucl
towns an opportunity to express them
selves through the medium of the bal
lot box, before it should be insisted
that their charters be abolished anG
that such towns be re-incorporated. Ii
case towns affected by the law should
not re-incorporate during the session
of the present Legislature the people
have an opportunity to avail themselveI
of the provisions of the four mile law
No town or city should invite viola
ton of the law by taking precipitat,
action, which may not be sustained by
public sentiment within such town O
city's limits. "

maintenance. which, with the Carnegie
donation of $95,0OO.OO for the library,
makes a grand total to date of $9,O95,

In addition to the above the same
bill contains an appropriation of 80, OOC
for the fish hatchery at Erwin, making
a total of Sal, 900 appropriated for thi,

The local crooks have established q

1t can never be charged that the

close about three miles of saloons in
Tennessee, 1t certainly is distressing
to see sech a large mileage of Ticker
blotted out; but then for two years we
have had to travel fifty or sixty miles
to blot out single drink, and we guess
it's only fair that the other fellers
should have tC travel the same dis
lance. -Hardeman Free Press.

Our State Flag.

The Miller bill in the house for a new
state flag calls fresh attention to tho
unsatisfactory nature of the old flag.
The latter is open to criticism in many
ways, The inscription, "The Volunteer
State, " is not effective, being illegible
for the most part, and the arrangement
OF the eolors TO represent the geological
lines of the state is neither artistic nor
easily comprehensive. In short, the
present flag is too complicated in de-
sign, and is not sufficiently striking.
The flag proposed in the Miller bill
is banner Of red, edged with band
of blue, separated from the red by d
streak of white, while in the center is a
circle of blue, containing three stars,
representing the three grand divisions
Of the state. This seems sufficiently
symbolic, while the design is easily de.
cipherable and is effective at some dis
lance Tennessee should have an ap-
propriate and artistic flag, and this de-
scribed in the provisions of the Miller
bill seems to fulfill these conditions. 49,
