THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT
SELECTS THE UNAKA NATIONAL BANK
AS PERMANENT DEPOSITORY.
Almost Million Dollars to Pass Through
the Bank.

"Uncle Sam" usually carries a nice
balance to his credit and he is very
careful where he keeps it. Occasion.
ally he puts few thousands of dollars
in bank temporarily, if that bank
will buy like amount OF government
bonds upon which to issue bank cur
rency, but it very seldom occurs that
he makes permanent depository in n
city where the government does not
receive revenue. Because johnson
City is not of this class it was with
great difficulty that the department
persuaded to alter the custom. On ac-
count OF the Soldiers Home being To-
Gated here and the enormous amount
OF money necessary to be handled in
Its maintainence and in paying pen
sions to tn 10 inmates, the Secretary of
the Treasury decided to make every
thing as convenient as possible for the
officers and has designated the UnOka
National Bank, of this city, as perma
nent U. S. deposityry. This account
will amount to three quarters of mil
lion dollars or mors during the year
and is carried as an individurl account
subject to check.
Naturally enough the officers and
friends uf the Unaka National Bank
and the citizens generally are much
elated over the matter and the bank is
being congratulated upon its good fort
une by bankers and citizens from all
parts of the State. But for this selec-
ton this account would have been kept
at Knoxville and added its amount to
the banking capital of that city. AS
it is Johnson City gets the benefit of
it. The bank officials wear their hon
ors becomingly and fully appreciate
the distinction conferred by Uncle
Sam in becoming their heaviest depos-
itor. TIE COMET extends congratula-
tons.

In glanclng over our exchanges
of last week we were appraised of
the fact that a half dozen Farmers
Institutes had been organized with
in the week in a half dozen differ
ent counties of the Plains. There
must be something in the proposit-
ion to cause "scads" of farmers to
get together and plot for their own
welfare. Heretofore the 'plotting"
has been left principally to a trust
in luck, bait that has deceived the
farmer for so long time.

The papers of East Texas are
now greatly alarmed. They
fear that the farmers are going
hog wild about cotton, and that
the bumper crop will cause a
repetition of the many years of
this staples low price. These
newspaper men are always Dor
rowing trouble. Was it short
crop that made the high price
for cotton last year? They
would have sufficient grounds
for thinking some one hog
wild" if they only knew that the
farmers of the Plains were 90.
ing to raise cotton this year.

Lochren and H. Clay Evans who con-
strued the original law to mean that
the applicant pensioner had to be in
capacitated from earning his support
by manual labor on one or more speci-
fic disabilities
Captain Coney then gave this com
ment on its meaning and application:
The intense feeling among the vet
Grams of the war of the rebellion pub
licly expressed against the admins
tration bill by William Lochren under
Cleveland administration, caused
Cleveland to issue a similar order to
that issued by Commissioner Ware.
with the approval of the president
making the age limit for a total dis
ability pension under the act of June
81, 1890, rs years. In other words that
the minimum age for a service disabil-
Fity pension of six dollars per month
under the order Of Grover Cleveland
was made SIS years and the maximum
IS years. The order of Commissioner
Ware is in harmony with the action of
President Cleveland, the only differ
ence being that it lowers the age limit.
This does not prevent any veteran
of the war of the rebellion, who is

a disability pension of the Act of June
27. 1890, and May, 1900, at a rate of
from Sc to s12 a month, if he is in
capacitated from manual labor by rea-
son of physical or mental disabilities
not due to vicious habits, at rating
of from Sc to s12 a month. The only
advantage that there is in the order
of Mr.. Ware is to benefit those who
are not otherwise physically incapae-
itated from earning their support by
manual labor, and therefore can not
obtain pensions under the present
constructions of June 81, 1890, and
May, 1900, to obtain minimum pen
sion of Sc a month, when they attain
the age of 81 years, and IS per month
when they attain the age of 65 years,

The Registration Books Will
Close Tonight.

At noon today the total registration
for the entire city was S,192. It will
probably go close to 5000 before the
books close at 10 o'clock this evening.
This is the last day to register.
Today there has been a steady stream
of registration since early in the morn
ing. The most notable feature is the
heavy registration of women from the
Third ward. c. v. Wolf had several
carriages at work, which were devoting
their attention to hauling colored wom-
en- from TenneSseetown.
1t is not by any means certain that
everybody who rides in Wolf carriage
will vote for Wolf The Wolf peoDle
have been making strenuous efforts to
get possession of the names of women
on the William Green petitions. in time
to enlighten them in their work. Their
plan was to steer clear of all the people
on the petition. But the people having
in charge the petitions have not allowed
them to become public until today. and
it is likely that they won't be of much
aid and comfort to Mr.. Wolf

PLAYED WITH SEWERS
Thursdays Rain Caused Many t.
Cave In.

Thursdays rain played hob with the
sewers all over the city. The rain came
slowly and penetrated to such depth
that the dirt has been caving in, form
ing gulches from six inches to six feet
deep, and some of them hundreds of
feet long.
Street Commissioner Snyder had men
at work until 9 o'clock last night plac-
ing lanterns on cave-ins which were re-
ported late in the afternoon. Today he
has a large force of men at work re-
pairing bad holes at the following
places:
Buchanan and Seventh, Thirteenth
and Kansas avenue, Douthitt. Thir-
teenth, Western avenue and Fillmore,
West, Lane, Fifth and Sixth; numer
Gus places on the Washburn college
sewer. Besides these places, the catch
basin connection at Fifth and Taylor
caved in, but this will have to be re-
paired by the contractor who built the
catch basin, NJ. w. Gilmore. At 217
West Fifth, in front of Al Moneys
plumbing establishment, the rain fell
into the area way so heavily that it
washed out a temporary wall, and al
lowed the sidewalk to cave in.
Had the Washburn college sewer
caved in a week earlier, it would have
been the duty of the contractors, Wall
& Hanley, to fix it. But the time limit
on Wall & Hanley's bond expired
week ago, and the city will have to re-
pair the damage.

Wolf Carriage Was Hauling Green
Voters

H. G. Larimer. chairman. and W. C.

city central committee were greatly
excited this afternoon by the alleged
discovery, made by c. V. Wolf, that
one of the Wolf registration carriages
working in the Third ward had been
hauling Green voters all day. This
mares nest was not discovered until
late this afternoon, when the man who
it was claimed had turned traitor to
Wolf was summarily dismissed as
driver of the carriage, and another
driver substituted.
Larimer and Ralston both insisted
that there was nothing at all the mat
ter, but Larimer called meeting of the
executive committee of the city central
committee for this afternoon as soon as
the discovery was made. The commit
ee calls everybody who expects to vote
for Green a "bolter." There will be
more 'bolter'' Republicans then in the
Third than regulars
