The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1907-05-02
Whole Number 100

Mr.. Speaker and Gentlemen of the
House:
1t gives me infinite pleasure to be
one of the joint authors of this resolu-
tion, signifying the desire of Tennes-
scans to return to their native state on
a Homecoming tour,
When this invitation was extended
to us who are living in foreign state
to gather together at the capital of our
native state, it struck deep, respon-
sive and tonder cord in my BOSOM We.
who are now Texans, feel great pride
in the little state from which we came,
We, who are now Texans, know that
Tennessee has contributed immeasura-
bly, to the success and prosperity and
independence of this glorious Com.
monwealth. The pages of Texas his.
tory are replete with the noble deeds
of Tennesseans. Her son drafted tho
Declaration of the great Republic of
Texas; her son generated her forces at
the decisive battle of San Jacinto; her
son has immortalized the sacred
Alamo, and today her sons are immor-
talizing the pages of Texas history.
The invitation extended to us is not
perfunctory matter, but one which
arose out of the hearts of a noble peo-
pie of the State of Tennessee. 1t is
sweet to us to know that there are eyes
across the great Mississippi who will
mark our coming and grow brighter
when we come. Sirs the great State
OF Tennessee has long appreciated the
greatness of the sons whom she has
contributed to the glory of Texas. I'm
mortal Crockett is as familiar to the
lips of every Tennessean as he is tothe
school children of Texas. The fame of
Houston is as precious upon the lips of
a Tennessean as he is within the hearts
OF the Texan. The great and renown-
ed Reagan has a lasting impress upon
the pages of the history of Tennessee
as he has upon the pages of Texas his
tory. The mountains and valleys of
that glorious, of that grand little State
contains the descendants of q people
who turned the Etide of the Revolu-
tion at the Battle OF Kings Mountain
and gave new hope of the independ-
ence of the colonies. The descendants
of those Colonial soldiers wended their
way from mountains, rivers and valleys
and participated in the great struggles
for Texas independence, and gave to
the Uuion another and brighter star.
Mr.. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the
House, | trust, without remarks from
me, that this House will by rising
vote adopt this resolution and send the
glad tidings back across the Father of
Waters that the Tennesseans of Texas
are coming once more to pay a glorious
and heartfelt tribute to their native
state.
The resolution was adopted unani-
mously.
(Mr. Strickland moved that Mr.. Nc
Gregor be requested to furnish a COPY
OF his address in speaking to aboveres-
olutlon for publication in the Journal.
Mr.. Mears moved to amend the mo-
ton by adding thereto the address of
Mr.. Love, of Williamson.
The amendment was accepted, and
the motion as amended was adopted. J

Halifax. Va.
Judge BarksdaIe Sets June "a as
Day for Beginning of Case.
Defense Pleased.

Special to The Washington Herald
Lovingstou. Va. May 29.-Judge Barks-
dale this morning fixed Halifax County
and June q as the place and the time
for the trial Of Judge ". G. Loving for
the murder Of Theodore / Estes His
decision is quite a lengthy one, and re-
views the testimony and Supreme Court
decisions fully The decision has caused
general satisfaction among those who are
taking part in the defense.
Judge Loving heard the result with his
usual unmoved demeanOr and made no
sign or comment, although, judging from
the attitude and utterances Of his coun-
sci. they were pleased. and the removal
of the case is a vast relief 10 them.
The line Of defense is something OF a
mystery. and NOT the slightest indication
has been given Of what it will be. II
was understood last night that if the
trial had been ordered here, the defense
would have asked a postponemant Of AT
least thirty days to prepare. For that
matter. the State has not disclosed its
case. either.
Nobody can guess for what purpose
the seventy-fve witnesses who Mr.. Swan
son said Yesterday will be called by the
State were wanted before the grand jury.
M witnesses were called but the two
negroes who actually saw the killing and
the doctor who examined Estes body.

Corner Of Prince and Royal Streets
Alexandria, Va. May 29.-It is stated
that the great majority Of the business
men of this city are heartily in support OF
the movement which was launched in the
city council last evening with view of
bringing back into the city limits the rail-
road stations which were moved from here
TO a point IN Fairfax County at the head
Of King street about two years ago.
Prominent merchants assert that the
trade of Alexandria has suffered much by
the change Of base. and much complaint
is heard from passengers in regard TO the
increased distance they have 10 travel in
going 10 and from the trains. Il is as
serted that representatives OF business in
terests are deferred from coming TO Alex
audria by reason Of the trouble in reach
ing the city from the station. In this
connection II IS said that a recent meet
ing of the Democratic Congressional COM
mlttee. which was to have been held in
Alexandria, was transferred 10 a hotel IN
Washington because the distance from
the depot TO Alexandria made II incon-
venient for the members TO meet here.
The council committee on finance and
general laws will shortly consider the ad-
ability Of taking steps in the matter
before the State corporation commission.
The committee will confer with the cor
poration attorney and the commissioner
Of the revenue on the subject.

commented on before the day was over,
for IL was seen that the next two men
TN the Presidential succession were riding
with the President from the Mckinley
house 60 West Lawn.
Despite the melancholy errand which
brought President Roosevelt TO Canton.
and While the crowds were remarkably
quiet as a rule. there was genuine
demonstration as Mr.. Roosevelt stepped
from the car Immediately after his ar
rival in town Several people were
gathered around the railroad station. and
they gave a big shout as the President
alighted. Mr.. Roosevelt did not seem to
think that the applause was timely. for
he did not acknowledge it in any way.

applause Of the crowd with a wave of the

TO Mrs. Mckinley.
I'VE have come here to-day" he said,
ITO attend the funeral Of Mrs Mckinley.
President Mckinley rendered a great
service 10 this nation as a public man,
but no greater than he and Mrs. McKin

we'll be an example to all our nation.
The essential things after all are the
homely things. President Mckinley
served his country as an American citi-
zen should serve his country in time Of
war and in time of peace. But was 1t
not in his own home perhaps, that the
devotion TO the loving woman we have
lust buried gave the best example to US
all"
The President then introduced TO the
crowd Vice Pres dent Fairbanks who was
standing on the platform beside him, but
the Vice President did not speak, merely
