WASHINGTON COUNTY HOLDS RECORD.
Real Estate COnveyances Last Month
Were Over $1,000 900.

Real Estate COnveyanceS Last Month
We're Over 81, OOO, 900.
Real estate in Washington county
was on a great boom last month, the
total transfers OF realty in that county
for May being almost equal to the to-
tai for the year 1905 and 1906, and were
30 per cent more than the total in Dav-
idson county for the past month. In
fact, the transfers reported in that coun
ty last month were so large and alb
normal that the clerks in the comp
troller's office thought there must
surely be some mistake, but after
carefully auditing the report it was full
ly verified
The state transfer taxes reported in
Washington county amounted to ST.
1891, showing that the total real es-
tate transfers for the month amounted
to more than $1,100, 900. The total for
Davidson county in May was only a
bout $3.50, 900. Just what the cause of
this unusual activity in the real estate
market was, of course the bare report
does not disclose, but the fact is Wash
ington county, having less population
and less wealth than more than doz-
en- counties in Tennessee holds the
record for real estate transfers for the

Itappears that the report that James
Allen, of Greene county, had written to
Governor Patterson declining the APP
pointment as deputy live stock inspec-
tor for East Tennessee for the reason
that he intended to support Senator
Carmack for governor, was incorrect.
Inquiry at the governors office brought
forth the statement that no letter
whatever from Mr.. Allen had been re-
ceived with reference to his appoint
mant.
The letter declined the appointment
was written to Commissioner Thomp-
son, OF the department of agriculture,
who appointed Mr.. Allen. In this let
ter no reference whatever is made to
the gubernatorial contest. The letter
is of the most friendly and cordial ma
ture, Mr., Allen assigning as the only
reason for his declination that he could
do better from q financial standpoint
in private business. The letter, which
has probably brought forth more dis
cussion in the papers of the state than
any written within the past three
months, follows:
