Carter for Patterson.

The largest democratic convention
ever held in Carter county was held at
Elizabethton last Saturday. The Pat
terson men organized the convention
by electing A. II. Upton, Bond man,
chairman. The Patterson delegation
was elected and instructed to cast one
half the vote of the county for Patter-
son and one-half for Bond on the first
ballot, after that the delegation to vote
as unit for the strongest candidate
between these two.
The Cox element, composed largely
of a carload of liqour men, mostly re-
publicans from the First district, q
liquor district, opposed instructions
and never got delegate.
John j. Morrell, one OF the strongest
democrats in the county, was told by @
Cox leader that as election commits
sioner he should not oppose the gov
ernor. Morrell Immediately resigned
as commissioner and helped carry the

Ii we succeed in getting the South IL
Western system or the Johnson City
Southern, or both, as many of us hope,
we then need to let the world of indus
try know it. We shall need promot-
ing fund to advertise for manufactures.
Who shall furnish this fund but our
selves? Santa Claus?
Freight rates are not the only rates
that impede our industrial growth.
Our municipal tax rate is a barrier,
especially since Alabama and other
neighboring States are exempting fac
tories from taxation for term of years.
Our corporate limits are absurdly ex-
tended and the lines, on the south and
north especially, should be drawn in
so as to leave districts where industries
may be located without subsection to
municipal taxation. Shall we drive
factories to Watauga river or to Kings
port? We certainly shall, unless fore
sight and promptness rescue us.
We need to have an act passed i'll the
next General Assembly enabling our
municipal authorities to assess abut,
ting property owners for the construc.
ton OF street pavement and granolithiC
sidewalks, and to enforce it after it is
passed.
Before such an act can be passed, We
we need to have public spirit, town
pride, aroused that will prompt prop

The present condition of Main stree
