IMPROVE THE TENNESSEE.

DR.. T. ap R. Jones, of the South
Knoxville Macadam Co.. has this to
say concerning the Importance of
river Improvement:
II am interested in anything that
is for the benefit and Improvement
of this section. 1 have always been
interested in the improvement of the
rivers of East Tennessee, as this is
one OF the important means of
reaching many of the resources.
There is no section of the south
that is as crude as this, and it has
been settled longer than any of the
leading southern sections. The wa
ter-wayS should all be improved and
good roads built, as this will give
the people who constitute the re-
liable and substantial citizenship an
equal chance with the capitalist
who is looking for resources. I con-
slider that We have the best coun-
try on earth and all that is needed
is to develop it and river improve
ment will do this. One way to get
the river developed is to send a live,
hustling man to congress to deliver
the goods when congress does the
proper thing for our river. Look
what Brownlow has done for his
district, and he has no railroads nor
rivers to speak CT, and the natural
advantages are not as great by far
as they are in the Second congress
sional district, and especially In
Knox county"

The consideration and sympathe-
tic interest of the ablest and best

representatives and senator's of the

of this has been accomplished by
the very existence of this associa-
ton, by its concerted action, by its
vigorous and constant determine
ton. 1t has been a task of no mean
proportions and its accomplished
facts are just source of pride for
what has been done and as just an
assurance of what is yet to be done
as your work and duty.
We should not fail in our &C.
acknowledgements of what congress
has accorded us, nor in our grateful
appreciation of the efforts of the
representatives from the districts
affected by the improvement of this
great waterway, and the approval
and recommendation already refer
red to.
Let us all contribute to speed the
day, which I long to see when will
be fioated safely at all seasons on
the bosom of our river the live stock
and cereals, the lumber and finish
ed products, the stone and the ores,
the hay and cotton, the coal and
merchandise of this valley of album

continued effort, with increased and
increasing forces. toward the re-
suits which we all so much desire,
and which are so pregnant with
material benefit to this valley, and
all It's connected and tributary re-
gion.
Since the last annual meeting
there has been nothing added in the
way of appropriations. to plans
heretofore adopted, or to different
points on the river where improve
ments must ultimately be made, TO
the direct object of our association;
nor has there been any opportunity
of securing any. The short session
of the last congress expired before
legislation in many directions could
be perfected.
The project of our river, however,
has been thoroughly investigated
and considered. BY these means
plans have been matured which
must and will produce the best and
most urgent results of complete
system, the consummation Of which
will surely and eventually realize
the opening and employment of the
Tennessee river as one of the coun-
trys great waterways from the
