Editor OF The Times Dispatch:
sir,--ln your weekly OF May 25th see
letter from one j. M, O., asking many
question about East Tennessee.
he wants to know where the inhabi-
tants came from originally, That ques-
ton Is soon answered. East TENNESSEE
was first settled by sc6ch-Irish, from
Virginia. North Carolina and Pennsyi-
yania, During the Civil War they were
divided just as the people Of Kentucky,
West Virginia and Missouri were divided.
There We're twelve or fifteen regiments
OF men from East Tennessee In the South
ern army I don't think the Confederate
army had any better soldiers In It, In
regard to their morality. he says he never
was In East Tennessee, Then how does
he know they are immoral, He says his
business friends dent care to sell in East
Tennessee. II seems other business men
are not quite SO fearful, as the country
Is always full Of drunmefs. There may
be moonshiners here. but never see or
hear of them. His question In regard TO
the connection between the population OF
East Tennessee and the conylcts sent to
Virginia and the Csroinas, shows such
an utter lack Of sense that shall take
no further notice OF 1t. would suggest
to j, M o. that If he has the means to
do SO, he should take trip through East
Tennessee, Possibly sight OF the fine
horses and cattle, nice houses, We'll eul'

Measure Lumber.

Editor OF The Times-Dispatch:
Sir.--I saw In your query column OF your
paper where you wanted to know how
to measure lumber
The rule Is to measure the length In
feet by the breadth In inches Cat the
i,arrowest part) and the thickness, II It
Is over an inch thick; if 1t Is less than
an inch thick do not pay any attention
to the thickness.
The rule for finding the number Of
board feet in q board over one inch thick
is to multiply the length In feet by the
breadth In inches by the thickness and
divide the product by 70.
Example! How many board feet In a
board seven feet long. eight inches wide
and two inches thick?
b Process: &s5
Z feet x sinches x 2 inches = liz.
i12 +-.12 = 81 board feet.
,rhe rule for finding the board feet In
& board ono inch or less thick. multiply
the length In feet by the breadth In
Inches and divide by IL.
Example: What Is number OF board
feet in a board six feet long ten inches
wide and one inch thck7
Process:
6 feet x 10 inches go 60 = 10 S-b
There are five board feet In the above
hoard.
Hoping the above will explain the pro-
cress and with best wishes, beg to re-
