erection at this place and another un-
der foreman, on the Southwestern

tract for a number of houses. He has

Real Estate transferers this week;
Peter E. Hellwege, of the Hill Top oil
company, bought of Isaac Fontenot,
of Welsh and j. G. Gray, of Lake
Charles, lots one and two of the New
man subdivision of Welsh. These
lots are located on the Southern Pa
citic right of way, just south of the
oil field. The Hill Top company will
erect loading racks and storage tanks
upon these lots in the immediate flu
ture. The prospects for the early de-
velopment of the Welsh oil field is
quite flattering.
Messrs. Calkins and Powers have let
the contract to Hutcheson and Scog-
gins for putting down two ten-inch ir-
rigation wells on their place South of
town. They will use the sawed screen
manufactured by a we'll screen company
of Rayne. This sawed screen is a
comparatively new thing and it is
claimed that it will permit the flow of
a much larger volume of water than
will the ordinary wire-wrapped screen.
This screen is constructed by saving
finch Sits in the pipe, a few inches
from each other. This does away
with all danger of the wire slipping
or breaking when the casing is being
placed, and also exposes a much
greater surface area for the entrance
of the water than does the other screen.

East Tennessee Republicans See Writing

on the Wall.
There is q great deal of discussion
among republican politicians concern
ing the failure of Col. Brownlow to
prevent the confirmation by the United
States senate of the presidents ap-
pointment of the Hon. Abram Tillman
to be United States district attorney
for the middle division of Tennessee.
They say that the failure of Boss
Brownlow to dislodge Tillman, follow
ing in the wake of his loss in the fed
eral appointments for East Tennessee,
clearly forecasts the downfall of repub-
lican bossism in Tennessee and the
construction OF strong and coherent
organization in the state, led by such
men as Il. Clay Evans, E. T. Sanford,
or N. W. Hale.
It is the theory that Brownlow hoped
to build up a machine in Middle Ten
nessee by preventing the appointment
of Maj. A. W. Wills as postmaster at
Nashville and Judge Tillman as United
States district attorney in order to off
set his irreparable loss in East Tennes-
see, and that his acceptance of Gen. 7.
A. Wright as the republican candidate
for governor was to prevent fight in
the state convention, which would re-
suit in turning the state organization
over to the anti -Brownlow faction.
