BROWNLOW
HONOR FIONEER
HAS BILL BEFORE HOUSE
Tenn. Senator's Have Not Been
Hard on the Tariff, Bot Will
Make Speaches Soon.

Washington, May 29.-Congressman
Walter p. Brownlow has introduced a
bill 10 erect a monument to Samuel
Doall, Tennessee pioneer and revolu-
tionary patriot, preacher and educator
of the youth of the Southwestern az
vance of civilization. 1t was SAMUEL
Doak who gathered the little band at
Sycamore Shoals and started them On
their famous Kings Mountain march.
His eloquent prayer inspired every man
of them to take valiant part in the
assault upon the British and Tories and
the Kings Mountain victory which
turned the tide of the revolution TO
American arms.
Neither of the Tennessee Senators
has made any remarks for the Record
on the tariff bill. Senator Frazier is
getting ready to speak and would have
done so ere now but he has not been
as well usual at any time during the
extra session. Washington's climate
this season has not agreed with him.
Neither has Senator Taylor been as
lively as usual. lie has been embar-
rassed by attacks of indigestion which
have interfered with his disposition TO
put in the words he desired for the con-
suming masses of the country.

over all. In the little cemetery where
repose scores of the noble dead, every
one of them a hero, who did not shrink
amid even the most appalling dangers
of war, most appropriate services were
held, Though sad and solemn, they
were none the less impressive. Orators
and the clergy, as well, spoke unreser-
vedly of the gallantry of these noble,
battleworn and SCARED heroes, who
were ever first for duty, and most loyal
and true.
The program arranged by Colonel
John p. Smith, governor of the home,
who was assisted by other officers, was
duly followed out. Nothing was left
undone which would tend to make
memorial day in this section so grand
ly impressive as TO be long remember
ed. The day was clear and cloudless,
with constant gentle breeze to cool
the atmosthere. The work of decorat-
ing the graves began at a. M, under
the direction of S. K. N. Patton post,

Following h e decoration of the
graves came appropriate memorial ser
vices. Never before in the history Of
this home has such a human mass con
gregated here. There were representa-
tive folks from every vocation and stat
ion in life. They came from johnson
City and other nearby towns and thC
rural districts.
For the occasion, the place was eX
tensively decorated with shrOuds, flag
and buntings. The air was made odor
Gus by sweet scented flowers, plants
and shrubs. These so thickly covered
the graves that the white of the foot
stones was hardly perceptible.

in making him the orator of the oc-
casion. He reviewed at great length
the life of the distinguished men in
whose honor the people had assembled,
and predicted that the day would come
when the entire country would be
pleased to do homage to the memory of
Andrew Johnson.
Following the decoration of the grave
of the president the assembly returned
from the cemetery to the Greeneville
auditorium, which seats 5000 people,
where the formal program was carried
out. The cemetery is beautiful spot
just outside of the town in which, for
several years in his early life, Mr..
Johnson worked rs tailor. 1t is
splendidly cared for and commands a
fine view of the mountain range which
separates Mr.. Johnson's adopted state
from North Carolina the state in which
he was born. Many visitors came
from the outside and the residents
found especial pleasure in pointing out
the still preserved sign of "Andrew
Johnson, Tailor" which continues to
decorate one of the humblest buildings
here. The people also manifested much
pride in the fact that Notwithstanding
the almost successful effort to forcibly
eject Mr.. Johnson from the White
House, the private cemetery in which
he is buried is the first Of such ceme-
teries to be given national character
by congress.
Among those present and practici-
pating in the proceedings was Hon. w.
p. Brownlow, member of congress
from this district, himself near rela-
tive of the late Parson Brownlow, Mr..
Johnson's most distinguished compeer.
Mr.. Brownlow was largely responsible
for the creation of the national ceme-
terry and while he occupied no assigned
part on today's program was by COM
