The hrst thing that one should do

have good reason to return to II.

surrounding country. In fat woods
this will be difficult. II you can risk

Britt asked Allen to follow him to the

profusely. Allen then fired to cause
Britt to desist. This he did not do
and then Allen fred two additional
shots, causing death. Held that the
verdict is impossible, but as this court
has repeatedly held, it cannot interfere
with verdict upon the complaint of a
prisoner when the verdict is in his
favor, he having been charged with
one of greater enormity, But the
court holds that plaintiff should have
been acquitted, that his acts were JUS

In the death of Rev. W. H. Bates,
the venerable minister of the NJ. e.
Church, South, who passed away at
his East Knoxville home Sunday after
noon, Knoxville aud East Tennessee
sustain a great loss. Rev. Mr.. Bates,
in his eighty-fourth year at the time of
his death, was within four months of
having labored in the ministry for an
even half century. The service of a
beloved and good man, continuing
over such long term of years, could
not have failed to make the world bet
ter and brighter for thousands of
human hearts and souls. The work
done during his last years among and
for the edification of the unfortunates
at Lyons View Hospital for the Insane,
where he was chaplain, was a cause
dear to Rev. Mr.. Bates, and it extended
over a scope far broader than that of
the mere preaching of the gospel. By
personal contact with those feeble
minded people, his magnetic influence
for good was exerted among them and
was profitable to them, physically as
well as spiritually. He was beloved
and esteemed in religious circles gen
orally in this city, and in every county
in East Tennessee he was known. The
community laments the passing of this
good man. Knoxville Sentinel.

Already there are rumors that the
Southern and S. & W. have reached an
agreement by which only one road will
cross the mountains.
A report from Marion, N. c., states
that an agreement has been reached
between the South e Western and
the Southern railways. The reported
agreement provides for the South &
Western tracks between johnson City,
Tenn, and Marion, N. c., by the
Southern railway, while the other part
of the agreement gives the South &
Western road the privilege of using
the Southern's tracks between Marion
and Rutherfordton, N. G.
The South & Western is said to have
withdrawn an engineering corps from
the field, south of Marion, in accord
ance with the agreement.
The Comet has been reliably in
formed that the S. & W. people have
purchased 1000 feet of lumber at Fall
Branch and are actually constructing
shacks in that section for workmen.
This would indicate that the road
will go by that route to Kingsport,
crossing the Southern possibly at
Limestone.
The South and Western surveying
corps which left this place about two
weeks ago on the line down the river,
returned yesterday, for the purpose,
it is thought, of beginning at Unaka
Springs, and running line down the
river on the opposite side from town.
