WORK STARTED ON DAM
Knoxville Contractor Already al
Work Harvesting the Carter
County River for Power.

civilian j. Oliver has already gone
to work on the erection of the new
dam across the Watauga river, to de-
velop electric power for Bristol" said
Lee +. Miller, president of the Wa
tauga Power Company, of Elizabeth
ton, who was in Bristol Thursday.
Mr.. Miller, who is a well known law
yer and capitalist of Elizabethton,
states that contractor Oliver had es-
tablished camps at Horse Shoe bend,
where the dam is to be built and that
a large amount of machinery had been
unloaded and work begun.
1t is understood that under the con-
tract Mr.. Oliver is to have the dam
completed by January l, 1911. 1t is
the plan of the power company to
have the current ready for delivery in
Bristol not later than July /, 1911, at
sub-station in the suburbs of the city.
The contract for the dam was orig
mally awarded to the Lowe Construc,
ton company, but later to Mr.. Oliver.
The dam will be fifty feet in height
and it is said will develop about 81
900 horse power, The power has been
contracted to the Bristol Gas and
Electric company and will be trans
mitted over its lines to consumers.
1t will require 1000 barrels of cement
to build the dam. Herald Courier.

From Daily Comet, Sd.

The city council met in regular ses-
sion last night. The general routine
of business of a regular session was
taken up, and outside of the reading of
the recorders monthly reports, bills,
ETC., but very little business of impor-
lance was before the council. The re-
quest nf the fire department that the
team OF horses used by the department
be used exclusively by them and not
allowed to be used in the street sprink-
Ter was rejected.
An ordinance ordering delinquent
taxes TO be placed in the hands of the
ttorney was passed on third and final
reading. The council then adjourned
to meet next Tuesday night.

HOW MEN ACT in A BATTLE
Remarkable Narrative Of Battle of SOL
ferino as Told by Veteran Sur
ViVor-Curlcus Incidents.

In Harper's appears a remarkable
narrative of the battle of Solferino as
told by a veteran survivor to Robert
Shackleton. 1t is word for word a
chapter of history as seen by a man
in the ranks. Incidents which i'm
pressed him are curious:
Owe halted. And a Tyrolese, lying
on the ground, cried out II am dy-
ing. Give me to drink" Whereat
my companion stopped to offer him a
flask, and as he stopped the Tyro-
lese struck savagely at him with his
bayonet, but my companion jumped
back and 1t missed him, and he said.
you Tyrolese, you said you wanted
a drink before you died, and now you
shall die without the drink" And he
stuck his bayonet through him as a
boy would stick pin through fly
The fighting soon began again
and 1t was very fierce. 1t was soon
that We came to know that we were
to capture a little village and the
hills about the village. The village
it was named San MARITIME, and there
were walled barns and gardens, and
the Austrians were very strong there.
All around me men were killed.
There were heads and arms blown
off, and men few in pieces like the
smashing of a jug. But we did not
care, we. We thought nothing of 1t.
do not know that we even knew we
saw such things, but some of them
come TO me as l sit with you and
talk of that long day We did not no
tice; and we did not think that at any
moment we too might have our heads
blown off or be smashed into little
pieces like breaking jug.
"'Once when we rushed over the
big guns and killed the men who still
fought with us, we turned the guns to
fire on the Austrians as they few
away but they had driven bits of steel
into the touch-holes, and so we could
not fire them. They were of a cour-
age. those Austrians.
"Only once in all that battle did
think much of what ! saw or heard,
and that was when there was the so
terrible screaming of a captain who
had his foot shot of. He twisted and
turned as he cried out, and it was
very bad wound. But 1t is just as 1t

blown into little bits, but | did not,

and I thought, "He will fall dead"
But after that saw him no more, for
there was always the fighting.

1.-THE wounded, they made very
great cries, and there were men sent
to go among them with lights. Some

carry them to the field hospitals. But
the most of us, we lay there and slept,

that with the morning there might be
another fight.

THE DEMOCRATIC SPEAKING
Large and Enthusiastic crowd at
Court House Last Night
to Hear Gen. Pickle
From Daily Comet, 3D..

From Daily Comet, Sd.
That was a great meeting at the
courthouse last night. The room was
filled by thinking element of the dem
ocratic party and some rep lbiicans
who wanted to hear good speech. All
were pleased with the talk of Gen. G
W. Pickle. He was introduced by DR.
ii. H. Carr, and for nearly two hours
he held the closest attention of his large
ami interested audience.
He was formerly encouragement
and is one of the ablest lawyers in the
state and told the people many things
about the high courts last night tina
astounded them.
lie gave many reasons why the SUI
pTeme court should be changed and if
the crowd present last night can be
taken as indicating anything at all,
the change will certainly be made in
August. His reference to the recent
rulings OF the court in many cases he
told of in detail opened the eyes of the
people as to the dangerous tendencies
of the court of last resort.
il seems TO be getting farther and
farther away from the old practice un-
der which the people had some rights
and under the TRUE of three" as the
General termed it, the railroads and
corporations are very greatly benefited
by the decision and the rights of the
people are almost ignored. He gave
facts and figures that were revelation
to all, of which the modern ruling of
tire court requiring circuit judges to
ignore juries and direct verdicts was
the least Objectionable.
The lawyers present were particular
ly pleased with speech and were heart
lily in sympathy with his desire to get
a court that would restore to the peo-
pie their rights. Recent rulings in
