is not larger membership is that
there are not more steamfitters

of the United Association of Plumb

Steam Filters Helpers, was char

witnessed. The victims of the food are
wholly dependent upon public relief.
Thousands more have been unable to
find shelter, owing to the insufficieney
of boats to convey them TO places of
safety and they are exposed to the rain
and hunger. Every available boat is
being employed in the work Of rescue
and to convoy food where it is most

The question of feeding the stricken
people is causing apprehension. The
vegetable and fish supplies are falling

nearly exhausted. There is no fear,
however, for the supply of rice. The

washing the bottoms of the bridges.

a widow as poor as the proverbial
church mouse, with flock of small
children. Walter, 10 years of age, sold
newspapers on the streets of historic
old Jonesboro, Tenn, once the capitol
of the new state of Franklin, state of
mountains, cut out from Virginia,
Tennessee and North Carolina by John
Sewer and other patriots, but never
approved by congress. From selling
papers he became reporter for a
Knoxville newspaper, finally editor of
small Jonesboro newspaper, never
attended any college or a high school,
only his loving mothers little library
and her instructions at home. While
editor lie became power in East Ten
nessee politics and soon left for Wash
ington to represent his district. In the
halls of congress Walter was hard
worker, not dip artist. In rugged
eloquence he caught the ear of congress
and secured three million dollars for a
National Soldiers Home at Johnson
City in the upper East Tennessee noun
tains. The same thing happened again
when he received large sum of Uncle
Sans money in order to make Andrew
Johnson's lonely grave at Greeneville,
Tenn, national cemetery. Many
towns in his district, smaller than Car
linviIle, received magnificent public
buildings. His last great work was
that of establishing a great fish hatch
cry on the Holston river. All in all he
secured more money than any repre-
sentative on record. AS local manager
of the National Soldiers Home he en-
deared himself with all the old vcter-

what it meant to be poor, consequently
no old soldier ever left his office with

was buried among the old soldiers at
Johnson City Home
