johnson City, Nov. 20.-Congress-
man Sam r. Sells prefers counter
charges against A. l.. Shipley, chair

charges in the Johnson City Staff of

Sells was charged with being in COL
lusion with eX-Gov. John l. Cox.
Chairman Shipley's charges also con-
tanned the threat that the "lid" would
be removed if Congressman Sells did
not remain quiet. The charges were
"salty" and attracted wide attention
in hrst district political circles.
The statement of Congressman Sells
is contained in letter addresses to
Chairman Shipley. The letter is as

HAVE THE FIELD
Will Be Sells Opponent for the
Republican Nomination
for Congress.

Bristol, Tenn. Nov. 22.-Dr. u. D.
Massey is to be the candidate of the
anti-Sells republicans for the republi-
can nomination for congress in the
First district of Tennessee, according
to what appears to be reliable lnforIna-
ton. Mr.. Massey is already out in a
statement TO the effect that lie is a can
didate, while it is simultaneously stat
ed that Gen. J. Is. Cox and Judge
Henderson, who were talked of as
possible candidates, will give him their
support.
The district congressional executive
committee has called convention TO
be held at Greeneville Feb. IL, for the
nomination eff a candidate for congress
and 1t is believed that the fight will be
Massey against Sells.
The Sells leaders in Bristol declare
that 80 per cent, of the republicans of
the district are opposed 10 the conven-
ton plan, but say they will go into 1T
demanding square deal. They do
not believe Massey has any chance
whatever of defeating Congressman
Sells, either in u primary or ii conven-
tion, and are ready for the fight. Ills
said that Congressman Sells has per-
feet organization in every county in
the district aud his friends are so
optimistic rs 10 declare that he will
get Massey's own county of Sewer by
large majority in the county con-
vention To select delegates.
Dr. Massey WAS selected by Con-
gresham Sells last year to make the
race, with him. He was put on the
Sells ticket for the short term and was
elected over ALI Taylor by the majority
that Sells defeated Penland. DR.. Mas
sey served three months. in congress,
this being the unexpired term of the
late Congressman Brownlow.

WHAT HAPPENED
TO THE PETITIONS
Those Circulating Them Were
Unable to Get Same Form
McMahan for Copy.

George w. Gardner, who together
with Sheriff Meas had the petitions
circulated asking Committeeman Nc
Mahan to vote for primary, and who
was present when Sheriff Meas report
ed that there were about 500 names on
the petition, says that the names were
estimated before they fell into McMah
ans hands and that afterwards he re-
quested that McMahan permit him to
make acopy of the names, but that
McMahan refused and since McMahan
has them he would not swear wheth-
er there were twenty or twenty hun
dred names on the petitions which Nc
Mahan did get. Mr.. Gardner says
that after McMahan had refused to
allow him to copy the first names, that
it was not thought advisable to permit
him to see the other petitions.

]. S. SUSONC, PURCHASER
A Farm of 70 Acres is Sold for a
Sum of $4,000 Which is
Probably the Highest Price Ever
Paid for Farm Land in East
Tennessee.

Paying the highest price ever paid
for farm LAID in this county, or prob
ably in East Tennessee, j. S. ,Susong
has become the owner of the J. II.
Robinson farm, three quarters of a
mile from Newport, the price for the
seventy acres of land being 5000, or
$2l5 per acre.
The land which lays in the bend of
the Pigeon River, practically all of
which is in bottom land, is very fertile.
A brick house stands on it, but be-
cause Of it's age, does not ad much to
the value of the property, the $4,000
being practically the cost of the land
per acre There is other land in this
county which can't be bought at $2l5,
but it is not OH the market at any
price.
Mr. Robinson has rented the farm
for the coming year with the privilege
OF re-renting for term of three years.

ACTS ON THE
LIQUOR CASES
Supreme Court Renders Decision
Governor Only Can Com
mute Sentences.

Knoxville, Tenn, Nov. 1S.-The
supreme court today acted on the
noted whiskey selling case brought up
from Hamilton county on writ of
error filed by Acknowledgement Charles
T. Gates Jr., In the case against Carl
White, John II. Conner, Thomas P.
Hagen and J. n. Kelley & Company,
the latter corporation, in which a
joint fine of 500 was assessed against
all the defendants. The court ordered
that the judgment be corrected, and
that the minimum fine fixed by statute
for violating the four-mile law, $50,
be assessed against each of them. The
court held that q joint fine could not
be assessed.
AS regards the suspension of the i'm
prisonment term,, fixed by the statute,
the court, speaking through Chief JUS
tice Shields, held that since the term
of suspension had expired, that was
not a live question with the court. The
chief justice cited an opinion in a SIM
liar case handed down week ago In
which the supreme court held that a
court did not have the right to suspend
a sentence fixed by statute, that
authority being vested only in the
governor.
The Chattanooga cases came up in
the Hamilton county court last Janu-
ary. The defendents plead guilty,
were fined and sentenced, but The inn
prisonment was suspended until the
next term OF court, in May. In May
they were again suspended until Sep
tember, when the term of suspension
ended.

Expires At His Home Here
After Brief Illness.
APPENDICITIS WAS CAUSE
Friends Had No Idea of His Con-
dition Until a Few Hours Be-
fore the End When His Condi-
tion Became Alarming-WideIx
Known Among Travelling Men.

After an illness of but a few days.
Neil b. Minis, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
d. A. Minis, died at the home of his
parents here Tuesday morning about
$50 o'clock.
The death of the young man came as
distinct shock to his hundreds of
friends, few of whom had any idea
that he was sick. He was stricken in
Morristown Friday night and came
home Saturday and took to his bed.
His condition did not become alarm-
ing until Monday hight. when DIR.
Cass of Morristown and physicians
from Knoxville were summoned. A.
trained nurse arrived at 4 o'clock,
Tuesday morning.
At first it was thought that he wxS
suffering from acute indigestion, but
as his condition grew worse, and he
suffered from the pains in his side, 1t
developed that he was suffering from
appendicitis and his death occasioncdf
by intestinal obstruction due to the
appendicitis. 4
The deceased suffered for many
weeks several months ago, when he
fell on the sidewalk here, following q
tragedy in which friend lost his life
which caused him to faint from ex-
element. His life was dispaired of at
the time, but he finally rallied and re-
covered his strength.
Neil B. Minis was born here Janu-
arys15, 1873, and he would have been
"a years old next January. He was
married to Miss Emma Timmous of
Jefferson City and Is survived by his
widow and one son, Hugh Forest.
Six brothers, lCharles, George, Edward,
w. o., Hugh and Alfred and ono
sister, Mrs. Kate Greer also survive.
For several years he has been in the
employ Of the J. F. Goodson Company
of Morristown, and was one Of the
most widely known travelling men In
this section.
His death recalls the tragic end
which camet to his brother, o. L. Minis,
who was kicked to death at his home
In North Carolina just a few years ago.
Interment will not be made until
Thursday in order that relatives may
attend from distance. Services will
be held Thursday afternoon at the
