Union Miners Mass Meeting.

A mass meeting was held here
in the grove opposite the Miners
Hall Tuesday. Much interest
was taken in the meeting by the
local organization as we'll as the
Clouse Hill, Coalmont and Flat
Branch, locals quite a number
being present as representatives,
from these places.
The speakers of the occasion
were National Sec'ty. Wilson,
Joseph Vasey, of Knoxville, and
President Farley, of Alabama.
The principal speaker was Mr..
Wilson. His advice was to be
steadfast aud put up a strong
fight for the organization in the
present contest and be law abid.
ing. He denied that the U. M.
W. OF A. was guilty OF murder or
had anything whatever to do with
the recent assassination and fur
ther stated that the editor of a
certain Chattanooga paper Who
said that some member of the
Union at Tracy City was guilty
of killing Rust and Henly either
knew or did not know who did it.
If he does know and will not re-
veal the parties he is then as
guilty as those who committed
the crime. If he did not know
then his declaration is an unjust
criticism and SANDER upon the
union men.

University Supply Store DESTROY
ed by Fire.

The big stone building contain
ing the university supply store,
the professors club, the local
branch of Winchester and the
office of r. M. DuBose, the treas
urer of the university, was de-
stroyed by fire at Sewanee on
Friday night, Sept. %. The to-
tai loss is about $4,000, with
insurance aggregating $4,000.
The origin of the fire is I'M
known. The bell in Breslin tow
er sounded the alarm and the
students came from every direc-
ton. Despite their efforts, how
ever, the loss was almost total.
The $4,000 stock of the supply
store was completely destroyed,
as were the rare library files of
the professors club on the floor
above. The local branch of the
Bank of Winchester was more
fortunate, as its steel brick-en.
cased vault appears to be intact.
The large iron safe of the
university, however, in which
were kept many valuable records
and papers, fell when the floor
gave way, and cracked, so that
it is not thought possible that
any of its contents can be pre-
served.
The administrative affairs of
the university have been thrown
into considerable temporary con-
fusion by the fire. However,
temporary quarters are being
secured, and it is believed that
sufficient records have been saw
ed to secure the university
against any heavy loss in this
TeSpeCt.
Plans are already being made
for the erection of a more COM
modious and substantial building
on the site of the old one, in
which the same concerns and
offices will probably be housed.
Owing to the insufliciency of the
Temporary quarters, the new
building will be arranged for and
built at once.
This. is the second time the
supply store of the university
has been destroyed by fire the
first building having been burned
several years ago, and the late
substantial stone structure hav-
| ing been built in its stead.

dorsement and patronage our
humble efforts to better the con-
dition of our fellow men, have
merited, we are indebted to no
one, but to the Creator of All,
for what we are.
The merchants of Tracy City
have all befriended the Union.
The New York Stores have spent
hundreds of dollars in advertis-
ing union made goods and in
earnest endeavor to induce To-
cal union men to patronize union
labor. We have brought on
thousands of dollars worth of
union made goods at the request
of union ofiicials-only to be
ughtered-because a large ma
jority preferred to buy "scab"
goods at a difference of o few
cents in the price.
The business men of our town
have shown a willingness at all
times to assist in bringing about
amicable settlements between
the miners and operators, regard
less of the fact that on several
occasions after being asked to
use their good offices in behalf
of the miners, they were given
to underste nd by other members
of the organization "that it was
none of their business. The
! merchants are not admitted and
do not seek admission to the
councils of either the union or
the operators. They feel deep
interest in the welfare Of every
individual miner and have never
wavered when they could do any,
thing to better his condition.
Most sincerely,
MARTIN MARUGG,

Charged With Completely In Rust
and Henley Murder.

The past week has been quite
and without incident in the stu
alton here, until about noon yes
terday when Sheriff Meeks and
small posse of deputies arrested
TT. Carrick and l.. Mccullough on
warrant charging them with COM
plicity in the murder of J. B:
Rust and Dick Henley at Reid
Hill mine on the Oath of August.
After arrests, the men were
confined in the guard house at
Camp Estelle until 2 o'clock,
when they were taken to Esquire
w. d. Benefits near Monteagle,
when the preliminary trial was
set for hearing before Esq. Ben
nett of the 18th district here on
that date. The prisoners were TAX
en- to Winchester and committed
to jail. The fact of their being
taken to another county for safe
keeping was explained by Attor-
ney Garner who said, that Win
chester being about as near as
Altamont and much more access
able, and the further fact that
the District Attorney had adj
vised this to be done, was the
cause of the prisoners being tax
Ell to the former place.
Mr.. Carrick (better known as
Uncle Tom) is a character of
more than local prominence, be-
ing an old Confederate Veteran
and a man that has condemned
through the press many acts
that were not in accord with
right living and the best interest
of the community. Lon Nc
Cullough has always bore q good
reputation and is a leading citi-
zen of his community. The gen.
eral superstition is that these
men were arrested in this con-
nection that something might
develope that would confirm the
suspicion upon other parties
when the preliminary trial was

neighborhood of the old survey.
The section through which this
railroad is to be constructed is
rich in minerals and timber and
it is only question of time when
these coal fields will be tapped
by railroads. This will be of in
calculable value to this and ad-

quest under charge of the Con-
federate Veterans a volly of three

Martin Marugg Answers T. B.
Landlord.
To Mrs. Grundy:-

To Mrs. Grundy:-
My friend T. B. Landlord, I'M
der the heading of "why is it,"
in last weeks issue of Mrs. Grun-
dy, takes the merchants to task
for not bringing about settle
ment between the local miners
union and the operators. He re-
fers to the business men of Tracy
City as "the men whom we made
what they are" and accepting
this chestnutty phrase from the
catechism of anarchy as gospel
truth, he assumes that the bust
ness men are in honor bound to
cajole and if need be force the
mine operators to "come across. !"
1t is truly wonderful, the way
tive make" business men in
Tracy City. Reviewing the COM
mercial reports of the town for
25 years past we find the names
of some 122 different firms and
individuals that at different
times engaged i'll business here.
By far the majority of these
credited out all they had and all
they could buy on credit and
"were made bankrupts.' A
goodly number saw the hand
writing on the wall in time to
save themselves and left to do
business elsewhere and their
ledgers are still loaded with I'M
paid accounts that serve as con-
slant reminder to them of what
1--WE made them drop" or show
we make them" in Tracy City.
AS a fact, fewer merchants have
succeeded in Tracy City than in
any other place of it's size in the
State and the presumption is
reasonable that but for provi-
Dental interference 1--WE would
have made these what we made
the others"
Since we commenced business
here in 1891 we have sold every
thing in our line at reductions
varying from 10 to so per cent.
from what the people had been
accustomed to pay for like ar
ticles. Conservatively estimated,
our labors during the IA years
past have resulted i'll a direct
saving to the people of Tracy
City and surrounding country to
an amount exceeding 100000,
and indirectly, by our influence
OH competition, the benefit has
been even greater.
/ The New York Stores are O
success because they are continu-
ally searching the market fol
greatest values for least
money! because they "under
buy" and undersell." Every
merchant that has succeeded ha'
had to work for and merit sue
cess. 1t is the law of the surviv
al of the littest, and while w
