BELIEVED BROWN
LOW REPUBLICANS
WILL TRY TO HARM0NzE
Party in State Judge Boren Says
A. A. Taylor is Man to Mike
Race-Brownlow for Con.

Bristol, Nov. 8.-Judge George E.
Boren, who is Congressman Brown
lows strongest political supporter and
who occupies high position under
Attorney General Wickersham in the
department of justice, has just given
out most significant interview here,
which is taken to mean that the
Brownlow republicans will make
vigorous effort to harmonic the re-
publican party in the state by allow
ing the Evans faction to have the CUB
ernatorial candidate next year.
81 think that the Hon. A. A. Taylor
is a man on whom all republicans can
unite as the candidate for governor
next year" said Judge Boren.
"This is especially significant in
view of the fact that Mr.. Taylor, who
is the republican brother of Senator
"Bob'' Taylor and who formerly serv-
ed in congress from the district, has
been regarded as the strongest oppon-
ent to Brownlow in East Tennessee,
and who has been directly aligned
with the Evans facticn. Mr.. Taylor
is well known, having made the race
for governor as the republican some
twenty-three years ago against his
brother Senator Robert l.. Taylor"
Judge Boren showed no hesitancy in
unequivacally declaring that Congress
man Brownlow will be a candidate
for reelection and coming from a man
so high in the councils of the congress
man, the statement is taken as signfi-
cant, in view of the many published
rumors that he would retire at the con-
clusion of his present term. "He will
certainly be candidate and | believe
will have no opposition. | firmly ex-
pect him to get his usual majority of
10, 600 to 1000"
The statement of Judge Boren that
the republicans could unite on Taylor
as the nominee for governor, caused
some interest in local political circles,
coming from Brownlow's leader. 1t
will be recalled that Taylor made the
most bitter and vindictive fight against
Brownlow that he has ever had, three
years ago, though he was overwhelm-
ingly defeated, Brownlow receiving
more votes than Taylor and John H.
Caldwell, the democratic nominee,
combined.
1t is believed here that the Brown
low men will try to avert an open split
in the party in Tennessee next year,
by allowing the opposition to name
the candidate for governor, as they
know he would not stand a ghost of a
show against Governor Patterson,
whom they are convinced will be the
democratic standard bearer.

SOLDIERS HOME NOTES.

New arrivals here every day from all
the Homes. AS soon as members learn
how things are here in regard to the
feed, hot water and good accommoda-
tions, they manage to get here. A good
many that are coming areof the sober
class, not like such Homes as Hamp-
ton, Danville and Dayton, where
drunk Ell members are TO be seen at all
times. In some of these Homes all the
clothiug they have had since the war
is what they have drawn, and in sew
eral of them they get drunk and wal
low about in Home clothes.
Fer dinner last Sunday we had roast
pork, sweet potatoes with brown gravy,
picked onions, peach pie, bread, oleo,
coffee. Supper, angel cake with sauce,
rice pudding, tea, bread, oleo, cheese.

is sent to the main laundry; but they
have been trying to get lundry at the
hospital for some time The old boiler
house near the hospital is not in use
any more, and it will be used for n
laundry. They have five boiler houses,
all but one will be abandoned and the
central boiler house will be used, but
the old pipes in tunnels are rusted out
and heat has been poor there for three
years. The majority of the beds are
inferior to these. A. T. Stewart gave
the Dayton Home 500 two-story beds
twenty years ago. They are two feet
eight inches high, thirty inches wide,
scant six feet long. The mattresses
are four inches shorter. These beds are
thirty-SiX inches wide and full six feet
long and two good blankets on them
makes the most comfortable bed there
is in all the homes.
AT the Hampton Home they have
six to mess and have a pitcher that
holds six pints of coffee, so if a member
don't want full pint he pours out
what he wants These have been in
use long while.
Major Brewster was inspecting the
Dayton Home last week and Col. FL
well will be there this week. AT this
home they use about 1856 gallons Of cof-
fee week and four barrels of flour. AT
several of the homes they have brown
bread two or three meals for a change.

Little Rock, Ark, Oct. 30.-An ex
animation of the Confederate pension
books here has developed that Peter
Eatt, an alleged miser, who died re
Gently in Muskogee, Okla, held tan
receipts which indicated that he was
at the time Of his death, the owner o
property valued at Sl00,000,000 located
in Oklahoma City, Little Rock anC
other cities. Eatt was placed upoI
the pension rolls in 1900 after the pen
sion board had passed upon his case
1t is necessary to take an oath that tht
pensioner is not worth over S400 il
order to secure pension.
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1909-11-11

summed Up the whole case by saying:
81 did not bring on this fight. 1t
was brought on by those who sought
to repudiate the charter Of the univer-
sity. From the beginning of it to the
present time have stood upon the dc
fensive. No man could desire peace
and good will more than do. There
is an easy way TO obtain it. If the
board of trustees of the university will
pass a resolution saying, in so many
words and without qualification, I'VE
accept the decision of the commits
sion appointed by the last general con-
ference and hold ourselves, in all re-
spects by it, then | am sure there will
be no further trouble, but an equivocal,
or modified or partial acceptance of
that decision will not suffice. Individ-
ually, | do not covet any responsibility
in connection with the university. The
duties of my office are numerous
enough to occupy all my time and
consume all my strength. If | con-
scientiously could, should be glad to
step aside and leave the whole matter
in the hands of Others, but certain OBJ
legations have been imposed upon me
in the order of Providence, which |
cannot shirk without forfeiting my
self-respect and being untrue to my
church."
AT the close of the bishops speech
the vote was taken, with the result
above indicated. 1t was not at all
difficult to see that the conference was
enthusiastically and thoroughly in
sympathy with the views expressed
by Bishop HOss.

TO MARK HEROES GRAVES
The Ladies Of the Sycamore Shoals
Chapters, Daughters of Amer
can Revolution, are Active

The Sycamore Shoals chapter of the
Daughters of the American Revolution,
at meeting held Wednesday, took up
the matter of marking the neglected
graves of the Revolutionary soldiers. 1t
was decided that the graves of all such
heroes should be located and marked.
To this end, it is the desire of the
chapter that all persons having knowl-
edge of such graves communicate with
the chapter. The local daughters will
esteem it a favor if such information is
communicated to Mrs. Jos. w. Owen,
Bristol, Tenn. Prompt attention TO this
matter will insure prompt recognition,
and it will thus be matter of only a
short while until the neglected graves
will have been duly marked. Bristol
