The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1908-05-28

Carmack's Manager Quinn told the
Sentinel representative he saw the call
for a mass. convention in The Comet
Saturday afternoon for the first time.
He really saw itFriday and made dash
for the country Friday night to warn
his boys and was at Fall Branch Satur-
day instead of reading this notice for
the first time. He said he was secreta-
ry of the committee and Mr.. Walker
was chairman and that the call should
have been signed by him. OF course,
as Mr.. Walker is only the chairman, he
has no authority at all, but the secreta.
ry is the power behind the throne. The
secretary must have thought SO when
he was sending Carmacks petition for
a primary to all the committeeman
without consulting the chairman. This
is foolish effort of the tail trying &c
wag the dog.

AN INTERESTING DRAWING COMET.
A Novel Way to Decide Who is the Lucky
One.

A Novel Way to Decide Who is the Lucky
One.
The drawing contest fot the prizes to
be given away by the Sterchi Furni-
ture Co., at the Tennessee Furniture
Store will come off at an early date.
In the mean time the goods will be
continued to be sold at present prices.
Only few weeks more and the great
bankrupt sale will be over. The con-
tents of one of the warehouses were all
taken over to the Tennessee Furniture
Store Monday and marked by Mr..
Sterchi and his assistants. These are
goods never before shown the public.
Dining room tables, lounges and
lace curtains are some of the goods not
heretofore displayed. Some of these
articles will be sold at wholesale cost,
which they can afford to do as Mr..
Sterchi only paid 70 cents on the dol
lar.
At the rate the goods are now going
it will take but q short time to dispose
of them.
The Sterchi Furniture Co. is giving
away free chances with every dollar s
worth of goods purchased. The hol J.
or of the first lucky number will be en-
titled to $65 Sewing Machine, abso.
lutely free, and if it is not wanted by
the party who gets it, it can be easily
disposed of or exchanged at its cost for
furniture at the bargain prices marked
in plain figures. The holder of the
second lucky number is entitled to q
new $65 sewing machine for SIS, which
is net reduction of $50 from the reg
ular price. The drawing contest comes
off at 2 O'Clock p. M, Monday, June
10, 1908, when the tickets will be shak-
en- up and the barrel opened by three
disinterested judges. A little girl, to
be selected by the holders of the eupont
will then be blindfolded aud draw from
the barrel ten tickets, one at time.
The first ticket will draw the grand
prize, the second ticket will draw the
second plize and SO on.
The bargains now offered by the
Sterchi Furniture Co., will afford the
public an opportunity of life time.

At Lexington the Women's Loyal
Democratic League, comprised of 200
women, with white banners and badg-
%, paraded the streets and occupied q
stand in front of the speakers, and
heartily applauded Gov. Patterson.
Two little girls preceded the governor
to the stand with baskets filled with
yucca blossoms and white roses and
covered his pathway profusely with
them. After his first speech nine little
girls, each carrying floral letter, came
upon the stand and spelled the name
of the next governor-PA PATTERSON.

who interviewed Mr.. Jackson in Knox

because it was favorable to Patterson.
He admitted that Milton would not al

Chairman Walker overlooked the
fact that the State Executive Commit
tee had fixed June 9th as the day to Sc
lect delegates to the convention to be
held at Nashville June nth to send
delegates to Denver when he made his
call for a convention last Monday, but
it scared the Carmack men nigh unto
death Several of the leaders were on
hand, but refused to participate, al
though offered the right to name half
the delegates. Everybody is for Bryan
and the race for governor is not effect
ed, but still they seemed to think it
was scheme. They claimed the exec
utive committee should name the del
egates, but that is only true of the del
egates to the gubernatorial convention.
The chairman has a perfect right to
call mass. conyention to name the
first set of delegates. The state COM
mittee said this: "a convention is call
ed to meet in Nashville June II to se-
lect delegates to the national conven.
ton in Denver, and for no other pur-
pose, On the 9th day of June the
governing democratic authorities of
each county shall name their delegates
to this convention upon the usual basis
of representation.

The Knoxville Sentinel sent Bob
Williams up here Monday to interview
Carmack men in regard to thaspolitical
situation in this county, or at least this
is all he did. In his story of inaccura-
cies from Jonesboro he states that the
editor of The Comet berated the Senti-
mel for supporting Carmack. Heknows,
if his mind can retain an impression,
which we very much doubt, that we
never mentioned Carmack's name.
We introduced him to A. S. Murray
and Marion McMackin and told them
he was with the Sentinel, described
the sheet, and stated that it would not
try to tell the truth in the present cam
paign. Mr.. Murray stated he had paid
for the paper until next January but
would thank them to stop it now, that
he had thought of sending the issue
back by express. Mr.. McMackin was
also anxious to have the paper stopped,
although it was paid for in advance.
We told Williams that he did not dare

A. ". RILEY dies
AT SANTA ROSA
CATTLE KING OF KINGS
RIVER SUCCUMBS SATURDAY
County and His Cattle Roamsd
Thousand Hills.

Word has been received in Winnie
mucca that w. A. Riley, one of the
best known Of the old cattle men of
Nevada and the west died at his home
in Santa Rosa, on Friday after q long
illness. He had been bedridden for
months and it is likely that his arrest
several weeks on an Indictment return
ed by the Federal grand jury at Car
son City charging him with illegally
fencing government land in Nevada
hastened his death
He was indicted along with Amos
Riley Hardin the son of his late part
ner, but at the time the indictment
was returned, the aged land king, then
long past his eightieth mile stone,
was too i'll fort he warrant to be
served. The matter was postponed for
several months and finally the warrant
was served while the aged man was
in bed. The matter weighed heavily
upon the aged patient and do doubt
hastened the end which was already
night.
The famed Kings river ranch in the
northwestern portion of Humboldt
county was the property of Mr.. Riley.
IL was all the real estate ue oWHeu
in the state of Nevada, although he
possessed several minor holdings in
California.
The Kings river ranch occupies al
most the entire Kings river valley. 1t
consists of $4,000 acres Of land and
there are about 5000 head of cattle on
the ranch, which is under the foreman
ship of Floyd McReynolds. 1t is said
