Scared the ANGEL Of Death.

Scared the Angel of Death.
According to an ancient rabbinical
story. the Ange, of Death once obtained
permission to take human shape and
TO reside partly in the world of life.
He married. but his wife turned out
to be a shrew. and the all powerful
Angel of Death was worsted in the
unequal struggle and fed ignominious-
ly. deserving his wife and a son who
had been born to him.
When the boy grew up and had be-
come a physician the angel appeared
to him and told him that he was his
father. but that he had been COM
PEELED to retire from the joys of family
life. The Angel of Death determined
to help his son to professional success.
At all his cases Death was to ap-
pear. II they were hopeless he would
stand at the head of the bed; II not. at
the foot. The agreement answered.
and the son prospered.
Then the king of the country fell i'll,
and the whole of his people was much
perturbed, for the king was a good
man and beloved by all. The famous
Jewish doctor was sent for. and to his
great distress he perceived the shad-
owy form of his father at the head of
the kings bed. Nothing would induce
Death to change places. The sons
patience exhausted, he made for the
door. where are you goingT asked
the grim Angel of Death. 81 am going
to fetch mother" was the answer. The
angel disappeared.

The Bancroft Register is authori-
ty for the statement that an attempt
will be made to vote license in Lee
Seuer township. We believe we are
correct in stating that license never
did issue in that township, and just
why the attempt is to be made this
spring we do not know. The absence
of saloons neve prevents a certain
amount of drinking, but the lack of
easy facilities prevents much that
might be done if it were handler. We
very much doubt if license wins in

One thing the union revival meet
ings suggest is the wisdom of a united
effort on the part of the churches and
church workers. If such great results
as have been attained can be accom-
pliJhed by united and harmonius
work in a few days, how much has
been left undone in the past that
might have been done had denomina.
tionalism been laid aside and all true
believers worked together. 1t is not
for us to lay blame at any particular
door, but it does look as if denomina'
tionalism was responsible for church
stagnation, which, says the evangelist,
is the next station to damnation.
While here last week f. j. Math-
ews informed the INDEPENDENT man
that his farm in Mathews township
looked $1,000 an acre better TO him
than it did when he left here two
months ago for Montana. f. j. in
vested a little money in a lodging
house and is enjoying a good revenue
from it, but all the same he does not
like the country and its resources as
we'll as South Dakota. Where he is
located the people are mostly engag-
ed in numbering and railroading,
which means that nearly everyone is
dependent upon day or monthly
wages. The people lack the indie,
pendence and the ability to secure the
comforts of life that E. j. has been
accustomed to seeing among his
friends and neighbors. 1t is this that
makes that Mathews farm look $1,000
an acre better inside of two months.
In fact + j.. says the farm is off the
market and that tits not at all unlike
ly that he will return some time in the
future to Mathews township although
il is not his intention to return in the
very near future

cept the candidacy of Maj, Divine and
his nomination as an accomplished
fact, and little or no further opposition
need be looked for.
"This adjustment seems to be gener-
ally satisfactory, so far as expressions
of opinions go, and it is stated that
Judge Tyler can well say he will not
oppose Maj. Divine, for it is remember
ed that Maj. Divine made terrific
fight for Judge Tayler six years ago. In
fact, he bore the brunt of that fight,
travelling with Judge Tyler and max
ing many speeches. Tyler is therefore
necessarily under many obligations to
Maj. Divine, and in this he fittingly
shows his appreciation and gives evi-
dence that he has a good memory. y

SERIOUSLY BURNED
BY FIREWORKS,

Sunday night, at the First M. E.
church, during Christmas Tree festivi-
ties, a lot of firecraclkers in the pocket
of little "Max" Lusll, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. r. J. Lusk, who live on the cor
ner of Roam and Myrtle, from some
unknown cause exploded, and before
they could be stopped from shooting
the little fellows side was badly
burned.
He was hurriedly taken home, where
medical attendance could be given.
DIR. Daniel Trigg was quickly sum-
moned, and after dressing the burns
soon had the boy resting easier.
1t is high time the city authorities
were prohibiting entirely the sale of
any kind of fireworks whatever.
Never a Fourth of July or a Christ
mas but what one or more persons are
seriously and badly mangled and
burned. Both young and old handle
them carelessly, and why they do so it
is hard to tell, unless it is the spirit of
the occasion so elating them that they
become 'oblivious to all danger.
Anything containing any kind Of
explosives whatsoever, subject to spon-
taneous combustion, should be pro-
hibited in sale, and more especially
giant crackers, skyrockets and roman
candles, all being equally as dangerous.
The writer saw on Christmas eve
night lot of young men shooting
large roman candles at some small
boys. Luckily none-were hurt, but ii
was certainly dangerous thing to do.
Many an eye has been lost by being
struck in the eye by roman candle
ball.
Let the city put its foot down at
once, good and hard, ON this dangerous
and nerve-racking nuisance, and here
after forever prohibit the sale or giving
away or shooting of fireworks within
the corporate limits of our city. II
they do this, they will receive the ever.

Next comes the extension of
the street car line.
Did you know that Johnson
City and Jonesboro are to be con-
nected by a modern interurban
electric street railway? Well,
they are, and the work will be-
gin in a very short while, for
plans are on foot now to make an
immediate start.
The present street car line ex-
tension will go forward at an
early date, will run down Walnut
street and up by Mr.. Cartet's
home which he is now building,
then around down Maple street
to Buffalo, making complete
loop of the Carter properties. An
extension will also likely be made,
provided congress will consent, so
that the line will run on out
Walnut to the Soldiers Home,
going through the grounds, max
ing connection with the present
terminus, thus looping through
the Home grounds, cars will then
be put on running in both direc-
tions.
Mr.. M. L. Fox, manager for
the Unaka Corporation, is having
a complete drawing made of the
entire property, giving lots and
numbers, from which maps are to
be made, these to be given to the
real estate agents of the city to
sell from, for which a straight
commission of five per cent. will
be allowed. No speculation will
be permitted. A straight price
will be made, and all agents will
be strictly held to these prices.
Mr.. Fox says the Unaka Cor
poration will offer every. induce
ment to good legitimate enter
prises to locate along their line,
propositions which will be inter-
esting to those who mean busi-
ness.
If we should say that fully half
a million dollars are to be spent
in the Carter addition in improve
ments during the year 1909, we
will not exaggerate the statement
very many dollars.
1t has been definitely settled by
Mr.. Carter that a through train
schedule will be put on between
Dante, Va, to Bostic, N. c., and
a special train from Dante, Va,
to Johnson City and return, and
a special train from Bostic, NC,
to Johnson City and return, thus
making a through train service
and local train service in both
directions. Mr.. Garter is doing
this solely for the benefit of John
son City.
1t behooves the Commercial
Club to get busy now, advertise
the advantages of Johnson City,
cooperate with Mr.. Carter and
help to make a city of $4,000 by
1911. We need manufacturing
plants, we have room and plenty
of raw material for any kind OF
factory or business.
