Letters the % Editor
Ills Platform.

Editor News: Having been asked
by a good many friends, irrespective
of parties, to become candidate for
reelection to the Office of Justice of the
Peace, | wish to make this statement,
that in the event that decide to make
the race, / wish to make known to
all the voters and taxpayers of the dis
trict part of the ground that stand
upon.
First, | believe it is right for the
county to provide for higher educa-
ton. | hope in the near future that
the court will see the wisdom of estab-
fishing one high school for the county.
We owe this to ourselves and to the
taxpayers and to the children, who
will assume the responsibilities after
we have passed away to the great Be-
yond. | still stand for good roads, and
while ! voted to bond the county for
the purpose of building roads, | must
confess that | was disappointed in not
| getting more number of miles built
than we did. | think that four thous-
and dollars per mile was too great a
cost for the grade of roads that were
built but | do not cast any reflections
upon any of the road officials that had
charge of the building of the roads for
am aware that they had many I'M
foreseen obstacles to contend with. |
could recite, as l think, some mistakes
that the road commissioners did make
| in the construction of the roads, but it
would do no good now, SO | will con-
tent myself with the belief that we
may be able to do better in the future.
believe that our public method of
working the roads ought to be changed
in several respects. have all the
time thought that the poor man with
a wife and four or five children, should
not be required to work more than two
days upon the public roads in one year
or pay two dollars in lieu of same.
| More than this it is hardship upon
the man that owns no property. l al
so think that every man that is subject
to poll tax should cheerfully pay the
same whether he had any children to
educate or not.
We have a grand country and what
we most need is to encourage good peo-
pie with capital to come and settle
among us and help develop the coun-
try.
Mr.. Editor, I cannot close without
saying a few words in behalf of the
poor of the county. | think they should
be be provided with better home and
the method of keeping the home should
be changed so as to make it more home
like. Some times think we are pay
ing too much to what is known as out
side paupers, but whether this is true
or not | have all the time voted for the
appropriation for their relief, but dc
believe that our poorhouse system can
be improved
I could give many other views of
mine upon other questions of great
interest to taxpayers, but think have
said enough for the present.

Caused Church Trouble.
Editor News:

Editor News:
| want to say to 'Sweet William, "
of Roope, Tenn, that he has been mis-
informed about the Divine Healers.
Never in Tracy City's history has she
had greater curse to invade her ter
ritory than these light footed, pre-
sumptuous beings from yo1r section.
They came here with promises in the
mouths and left without making good
a single assertion they made. They
can do nothing they said they could.
Their pretensions and claims are false.
The gang they left here have given
more trouble to Bros. Bird and Bur-
CESS in the revival going on at Pleas
ant Hill than any one else, causing
themselves to be hated and disposed by
the whole congregation.
They haven't sense enough to respect
any other religion save their own.
They ran over the known rules and
regulation of the Methodist church,
treating the church with contempt and
its ministry with Indifference and Gre
ating confusion never seen in a
church in this place before. Some Of
their adherents called Bro. Bird hyp-
ocrite becuse he objected to their dane
ing in the church. No christian would
invade the sacred precincts Of anoth-
er church and with impunity violate
the known rules of that church. Do
ing good in Tracy City? Better have
said stirring up confusion and strife.
But our people are going to protect the
church and don't you forget that they
are rallying to it and these proselytes,
for such they are, will be taught les
son, they will never forget. | am 81
years old and have never before seen
such an attempt to overthrow the re-
| ligion of our fathers these parties have
made here in Tracy City.
They opposed church organization
and still they want to invade decent
congregation with their silly foolish
ness and boosted, l am told, that they
would run Bro Burgess meeting and
! they made two attempts. On the first
occasion Bro. Bird turned out the
lights and the second time he gave
them to understand that dancing
would not be allowed.
We are having Il hard time to run
! the meeting. We hone all christians
will pray for these faithful men of God
that they will be faithful and true to
their church.
Bro. Lyle, of the NJ. E. Church,
south, has come to the assistance OF
Bro. Burgess and Bro. Bird. The PEG
pie of Jasper circuit have no idea how
much these men of God need the
prayers of them all. | personally have
no confidence in these Martinites,
Doweites or Holy Pilgrims and don
believe in them. They are authors OF
confusion, there is no doubt of it, and
| despise their methods and preten'
sions. UNCLE GID.

Judging from the charges and coun-

nessee politics, both gubernatorial and
senatorial, there have been many per-
versions of truth, and it would take a
court of inquiry to decide who the
prevaricators are. 1t is a sorry specta-
Gle for the state that two such high
offices cannot be contested for by men
of the same party without vitupera-
ton, invective or calumny, and
