Patterson Entitled to Second Term

Senator Carmack has made the an-
nouncement that he will be q candi-
date Cor governor. We have always
been an ardent admirer Of Senator
Carmack, but in all seriousness we
think the senator in yielding to the So
licitations Of ver-zealous friends and
admirers has made mistake, let the
result be as it may. We believe that
his record in the senate, coupled with
precedent, justied an Endorsement for
second term and did all we could in
an honorable way to bring about that
result. We are conscientious in the
matter. We believe in giving every
man fair deal and we know Of no rea.

son should be made an exception to

JOHNSON CITY.
A Thriving and Growing Prohibition
Metropolis.

Metropolis.
1t was the delightful privilege of the
Progress scribe to spend about five
hours in johnson City recently.
Our ramblings led us over to Carnegie
and to other suburban points, and on
every hand the steady and substantial
growth of the town was evidenced by
new buildings going up, water pipes
being laid, railroad construction, etc.
The population of the city, including
nearby suburbs, must be somewhere
in the neighborhood of 10000 souls,
Many industrial plants dot the land
scspe here and there, employing hun
dreds of people and creating pay roll,
which is an essential factor in commun-
ity building and maintaining.
The city has electric lights, electric
street railway, water works, three rail
roads and fourth one in course of
construction, making it a commercial
center of no small proportions already,
There are several wholesale houses
in the different mercantile lines, and
her retail stores would be a credit to a
city Of very much larger pretense and
proportion.
Johnson City is prohibition com.
munity, and its wonderful thrift gives
the lie to the oft repeated argument
that prohibition kills trade" Two
newspapers are published there-The
Comet, democratic, by Cy Lyle, and
the staff, republican, by E. M. Slack,
and they are both we'll patronized by
