THE G0UGE DISTILL|NG CO.
This is Conclusive Evidence as TO
What Kind of Platform Sells
and Massey Stand On.

M. L. Fox, the man who spoke for
Sells and Massey in Jonesboro Monday,
is found to be partner in the f, Gouge
Distilling Co., of Bristol, Va, one CT
the largest distilIeries in the south, now
producing over 400 gallons of corn liq-
uor daily. This is conclusive as to what
platform Sells and Massey stand on.
]. II. Penland and A. A. Taylor have
been endorsed by the Anti-Saloon
League and it behooves the Temperance
people of the district to make fight on
next Saturday for Penland and Taylor.
Write w. r. Hamilton, Supt. Anti
Saloon League of the state, Rev. T. B.
Russell, Rev. Tarwater, DR.. Ruble,
Rev. Sam Ketron, or any other leading
temperance man of the state of Tennes-

THE SELLS CoNEERFNcE.

Senator Sells, who is candidate for
the nomination for congress against
Hon. ]. r. Penland held conference
with his leuders at the Snapp hotel
Tuesday.
Notwithstanding Senator Sells had
written many men, who had formerly
been in sympathy with his candidacy
to meet him here, less than a dozen
men from out of town met him.
This shows conclusively that the OPP
position to Mr.. Penland in this county
is not strong, numerically, and that he
will carry the county by an over
whelming majority.
Penland's supporters are wonderfully
encouraged, and the Sells supporters
are correspondingly discouraged.-Se-
vice Co. Republican.

ing. The election of officers for the en-
suing year will be held.
There are also other important mat
tiers to come up for discussion, and ac-
ton to be taken; one of which is rela-
tive to the locating of new and i'm
portant industry for johnson City.
We want to find out whether we have
done all that can possibly be done to
locate this enterprise in our city. This
matter is of sufficient importance to
the citizens of our town to justify their
giving an hour of their time to the dis
cussion of ways and means. An in
dustry, representing fifty or seventy
five thousand dollars, and working, on
an average 100 men, means, on a con-
servative estimate, pay roll of 81,
per month. Now this matter has
reached point where we must act
and act quickly if the factory is locat-
ed here.
Mr.. 9. B. Carlisle will, by special in
vitation, address the club, setting forth
how he has successfully built up and
run commercial organizations, and
will also give his ideas as to what is
needed to make our club power in
the city and vicinity.
Citizens, as well as 1.-THE members of
the club are invited and urged to hear
Mr.. Carlisle on this subject. II is hop
ed that a. full attendance will turn out
on Monday night.

Several Thousand People at the

at the Short Stop Here

Johnson City and the surrounding

ever, the distinguished citizen appeared
upon the rear platform and made an
extremely short talk.
When the train came to stop many
people rushed to the rear platform
with extended hands. Mr.. Roosevelt
said:
"No no! my friends ; we must
forego the hand shaking. My stop is
too limited and cannot discriminate.
"My friends, it gives me great pleas
