be not considered in the prima-
ries called in the several coun-
ties for the purpose of determin-
ing the contest between us.

Struck by a Passenger Train.

While attempting to cross the
tracks of the Louisville & Nash
vile Railroad at what is known
as Blyche's Crossing, just below
the depot, at Gallatin, Alex Es-
cue, who was driving a heavily
loaded wagon of wheat to
Payne's elevator Monday morn
ing, was run into by passenger
train No. s. The wagon and
contents were completely dem oil
ished and Mr.. Escue was thrown
over the telegraph wires con-
siderable distance and seriously,
but not fatally injured. The
team escaped unhurt.
The loss of wheat and wagon
amounts to several hundred dol
lars.
This is considered a most dan
gerous crossing, a deep cut being
near the road making it difficult
to see train within a few feet
of the crossing.

Ex-Gov. Benton McMillin With
draws from Race.

Ex-Gov. Benton McMillin is
no longer u candidate for United
States Senator, having in a pub
lished a card to the Democratic
voters of Tennessee, withdrawn
from the race, setting forth
therein his reasons for the step.
The letter of Gov. McMillin is as
follows:

of Tennessee About a year ago

unduly excited or exercised, but
it must be patent to any one
with half a propheticseye, that
the people of Grundy County are
not in humor to tolehte the
inconvenience of the present
"hub" of the county much lon
ger.
When the time is ripe, when
change becomes Imperative,
Coalmont is the logical point to
which all favoring q removal
will naturally turn as the most
convenient for the greatest num-
Der of the citizens Of the county.
If those in authority desire to
locate the public buildings on
my property at Coalmont, | have
this proposition to submit to the
people of Grundy County,
| will give to the county abso-
lutely free,
1st, a public square asslarge or
larger than the one at Altamont.
End, a commodious lottlfor the
jail. Bird | will lay off lots for
business purposes fronting the
public square on four sides, and
will donate to the county one
half of said lots, to be sold under
the direction of the county court
upon such terms as said court
may decree, the proceeds of sale
to be used in the construction of
the public buildings.
The selection of the site for the
said public buildings toF be left
to a committee of three, two of
whom will be selected by the
county court while will select
the third.
VeryRespectfully,

allow the Tennessee Company to
act alone in employing non-union

in sympathy with the movement.
The Tennessee Company has
increased the force of men at
work at their open shop mill at
Bessemer, but the new men are
mostly negroes.

Tracy City, Tenn.
Ny Dear Old Lady:
The article you published a
few weeks ago, anent the rel
moval of the county seat to Coal

considerable attention--to have

Good Spirits.

Good spirits don't all come
from Kentucky. Their main
source is the liver and all the
fine spirits ever made in the
Blue Grass State could not

spirits and Il bad liver all at the
same time. Your liver must be in
fine condition if you would feel
buoyant, happy and hopeful,
bright of eye, light of step, vigo-
rous and successful in your pur-
suits. You can put your liver
in fine condition by using Green's
August Flower-the greatest of
all medicines for the liver and

and honorable ambition he de-
sires to crafty, which is not di-
rectly related to either or both a
mother or a wife. From the
hearth stone around which lin
gers the recollections of our
mother, from the fireside where
our wife awaits us, comes all the
purity, all the hope and all the
courage with which we fight the
battle of life. The man who is
not thus inspired, who labors
not SO much to secure the ap-
plause of the world as the solid
and more precious approval of
his home, accomplishes little of
good for others or of honor for
himself.

Ministers Pleading for an Honest
Election.

A number of the local minis
ters, of Knoxville, yesterday
made appeals from their pulpits
for their congregations to 30 to
polls at the county election next
Thursday, and vote for men of
honor who would enforce the
laws. They also asked that their
listeners do all they could to see
that an honest election was held.
Some of the ministers who made
these appeals are those identified
with the meetings called this
week to compel the election
officers to hold fair election.

From Altamont.
Altamont Tenn, Aug |, 1901

MRS Urunuy =
My attention has been recently
attracted by an article in your
paper under the monde
plume of "Citizen,n relative to
the removal of the County Seat,
(or agitation there-of) which |
think is liable to create in the
minds of the citizens a false i'm
preston, and with your permis-
sion, desire in a laudable way to
answer portion of said article.
"Citizens" deals largely on infor-
nation, which everybody except
"citizen" is aware is incompetent
testimony.
He says that he is informed that
the new Jail building is liable to,
and will soon fall down, and that
the Court at almost every term is
called upon for an appropriation,
to keep same in repair. Or as
"citizen" would infer to keep it
from falling down. Now in reply
to this, will say that "citizen" is
just simply misinformed, and up
on this point the strictest proof
is demanded, | make the aver
ment that no danger of falling
down exists, in fact, | think it
would take an eruption of this
mundane sphere similar to Vesu-
vius, or some other volcanic mat
ter to raise this building, and as
to the matter of making approp-
riations by the County to keep
the jail in repair, | reply that
since the prisoners have been
kept in the cells, no appropri-
tions have been made. 1t may
be true as "citizen" alledges, that
some prominent citizen in the
past declared this finished town,
but if so | would ask citizen, what
such declaration has to do with a
County Seat removal? Surely
nothing, as such "prominent"
citizen, knew that the County
Seat was already located here and
as to this matter was entirely
finished and perhaps, this was
what was referred to. Now in con
clusion | desire to ask "citizen"
or some of his colleagues, how he
going to remove the County Seat
to Coalmont. The Sewanee Coal
Coke & Land Go. ! am reliably
informed will not sell foot of
land and "citizen," myself, and
every other person possessed OF
common sanity, knows that il
this company will not sell land
it not reasonable to suppose that
they would give it away. Pray
tell us how you are going to move
it? Where is your location!
Who will pay the expencesi
Who Will be benefited? Does
the Sewanee Coal Coke Il L. Co.
desire the location of the County
Seat there? And if so how mucl
of the expenses will they pay fol
the goods to be delivered. Tel
us about all these things.

Killed at Decherd.


A man by the name of Sheriff.
was killed near Decherd Tuesday
under rather peculiar circum-
stances. He had been to Win
chester, and while there had pur-
chased a span of mules. On the
way home the mules became
frightened and ran away, over
turning the wagon and throwing
him out. He struck his head
against rock, and the blow was
such hard one that death was
instantaneous.
