March the weekly averages were 1900
and 15,0o0-even then being three and
four hundred per cent greater than a
year ago. With April there was still
another increase and the May average
has grown to 1900 weekly without
any signs Of decreasing.
Statistics show that since October
between 475,000 and 100000 laborers
have departed, and no letup is looked
for by the steamship companies for
some time to come. The shutting down
OF factories. suspension of railroad
and public Improvement work and the
general cessation of business activity
that has thrown thousands out of en-
ployment are held to be responsible for
the movement eastward
During the first four months of 1907
the total exodus of laborers was 96,731,
while for the first four months of this
year the figures reached .239, ,010, an in
crease of 1929. During the same
period of 1867 tbsra reached hero

in the Carnegie addition. Ten teams
are grading streets and all the streets
in the addition will be put in perfect
shape and many of them paved with
brick and other methods. A street car
system is being planned, sewers will
be installed connecting with the trunk
sewer. Mr.. Carter will leave nothing
undone to make the addition an ideal
location for home and for business.
The site for the government building is
being examined with probes for rock

THE GOVERNORS
BRIGHT REPARTEE

A laughable incident came when the
governor, in discussing temperance in
his Knoxville speech, said that he
would sign a bill to put liquor out of
the remaining counties, if the bills were
passed by the legislature, after the peo-
pie of these communities had spoken
by their ballots. mo, you wouldn't"
shouted some man with leather lungs.
Everything grew quiet as a church.
CHANGING up slowly, the governor said:
"I'll do it, then, my friend, just on
your account, " and the large audience
expressed its approval of the answer in
laughter.
