WHITE BOYS UNLOAD
ON LITTLE "NICCERS''

Doc Hutchinson we'll known COL
ored man, appeared before the Mayor
and Aldermen Monday in behalf of
two small colored boys who were,
operating a store on Jones Hill. Doc
explained that some little white boys
ran a small store there for several
months and some weeks ago sold out
to the little "niggers," and that when
the new owners had taken charge they
were told that the corporation authori-
ties were after license from them.
and they were closed up. Doc ex-
planned that the stock had cost SO
cents, and the whole affair was the re-
suit of the children's effort to raise
little money for their Sunday school,
and the board did not insist on license
providing that the stock Of goods was
not increased to any great extent.

SELLS SCORES
POSTOFFICE COUP
Congressman-elect Names Sue
cessOrs to Several of His
Political Enemies.

Johnson City, Tenn, March ia
sensation in political circles developed
Saturday when it became known that
Congressman Sam r. Sells had had
Frank Britton postmaster at Jones'
boro, Crawford Alexander, postmaster
at Elizabethton, and John M. Fain,
acting postmaster, at Bristol, removed.
James s. Byrd has been named post
master at Jonesboro, E. E. Hathaway
succeeds Mr.. Alexander at Elizabeth
ton and DR.. A. j. Roller succeeds Mr..
Fain at Bristol. i.
These are recess appointments and
their commissions were signed before
President Taft left for the South. The
Postotfice Department approved of
their bonds and the new appointees
will take charge as soon as the transfer
can be arranged.
1t is not stated what the gentlemen
were removed for, but it is alleged po-
litical activity brought about the
changes.
Ex-postmaster Britton is the father
in-law of Albert l.. Shipley, Republi-
can Congressional Chairman of the
First District, Shipley had constantly
turned the cold shoulder to Sells and
opposed him in all of his aspirations.
Britton was personal friend of the
late Congressman Brownlow and a
bitter opponent of Sells. Crawford
Alexander led the fight against Sells
in Carter County last November.
Both Mr.. Byrd and Mr.. Hathaway
were strong Sells Supporters.
In having Dr. Roller appointed
postmaster at Bristol Congressman
Sells did something that the late Con-
gresham Brownlow didn't succeed in
doing, viz, name Tennessean to take
charge of an Office in Tennessee. 1t
will be recalled that President Taft
had sent for the Senate the name Of
Gaynord Goodall to be postmaster at
Bristol. -Goodall is Virginian and
Representative Slemp of the Ninth
Virginia District was responsible for
his appointment. Senators Frazier
and Taylor of Tennessee both objected

Aldermen Pass Ordinance Fix
ing April 20 as Date
NO OPPOSITION SHOWN
The Election to be Hurried in
Order That Work May be Start
ed at Earliest Possible Date
Mass Meetings VIII be Held.

The people of Newport will vote on
the bond issue for water works, Salur-
day, April 20. the Board of Aldermen
held three meetings during the past
few days and the water works ordi-
nance was hurried through tor the
purpose of getting it before the people
as early as possible, in fact it is the de-
sire of the board to have the engineers
at work on the streets of the town by
June /.
There was absolutely no difference of
opinion among the Board of Aldermen
as to the passing of the ordinance and
the only question under consideration
was the date for the holding of the
election, and it was finally decided to
hold same on April 20, thus giving the
people ample time to consider the
proposition, and will enable the open
ing of the registration books, and the
calling of an election by the commits
sioners.
1t was announced that w. P. Bull
lock, the engineer of Kansas City would
be here before the election and would
hold mass meetings In order that the
people woald understand the great OPP
portunity given them in the proposed
system.
At one of the special meetings held
to consider the water works question,
the fee of $75 which had been allowed
Judge H. N. Cate for his services in
connection with the passage of the
enabling act, was disallowed as he did
not go to Nashville in connection with
the same, but the board decided to al
low him reasonable compensation for
the drafting of the acts.

forth, any person found guilty of hav-
ing expectorated upon the sidewalks Of
Newport, will be subject to fine OF
from So to SIS.
The ordinance in question was pass
ed at special meeting which was held
Friday night, on second reading and
with the publication of same it becomes
law and it will be up to the town Of
ficials to see that this law is enforced.
Duriug the past few months there has
been considerable discussion about the
filthy condition of the sidewalks of
the town and the ladies of the town
appealed to the Board of Aldermen for
some relief, claiming that they were
soiling their skirts whenever they were
compelled to pass down the main
thoroughfare of the city.
Alderman Early introduced a bill
prohibiting splitting during the term of
the last board, but after being passed
on its caption, twice, it fell by the way
side and was not resurrected until the
Womans' Improvement association
became active and then interest was
suddenly aroused and the bill was put
through in two special meetings, and
it will now be up to the men to be a
little careful and avoid the payment
of the fines.
AT Fridays meeting a petition was
presented to the board of Aldermen
from the Woman's improvement
Club, asking the Board of Aldermen to
assist them in cleanup week, the
first week in April and the board did
not hesitate and will do their part to-
ward making the week success.

KlDWELL McSWEEN MEETS
DEATH IN A PISTOL DUEL

ed and Campbell boarded the Carolina
Special at 9:05, but could not find
Pritchett as he had been telegraphed
TO go up into the baggage car and there
he received the money for which he
had made the request. Campbell and
the couple went to Knoxville on the
Special and Miss Emma was pursuaded
to return hoMe, with the former.
Pritchett, so Campbell stated, said he
would stay away from Newport until
the affair had blown over, but when
train No. 36 due here at 1888 a. M,
came in, Pritehett was aboard it.
lKldwell McSween and w. M. Bible
had come to the train to meet Miss
Emma and Pritehett was not seen to
get off, because he eIimed over the draw
head and swung down from the rear of
the train and wemt to the stairway,
where he apparently stood and watched
No. 36 pull out, to see who met the
girl.
He stood out on the pavement and
Mes Neen came down the street and
the two faced each other at the STAIR
way. The four eye-witnesses of the
affair will not state who fired the first
shots, but Pritchett stated Immediately
af00sshe was shot tnst NcSween had
shot him twice before he fired. They
were evidently close together with
Pritchett standing up the steps when
the shooting began as the first bullet
which hit him entered the stomach
and ranged upward, and McSween
standing out in the opening on the
pavement. McSween lived but few
minntes and the only remark he is
known to have made was: "Well |
guess You have got me-" to Pritchett
as the latter came out of the hallway.
DR.. Delozier arrived on the scene a
few minutes after the shooting and
declared that McSween was dead.
The body was not molested for some
little time, when 1t was taken to Willis
and LaRue's undertaking establish
ment and prepared for burial.

Col. McSween and had arranged to
have train No. 35 held here until
PH, chet' could be taken care of. AT
White Pine, the train was held and
several kilograms sent off, and as a
result. Doctors joined the train at
Morristown and Jefferson City, and
DR.. Carey Snoddy was awaiting the
train at Knoxville with an ambulance
when Pritcbett arrived.
The incident demonstrated what re-
markable changes can take place in
brief period of time. Pritehett arrived
in Newport at 1888. The duel took
place two or three minutes later, and
q minutes after he had first put his
feet on Newport soil, he was speeding
back toward Knoxville, with two
CHASTITY wounds in his body and his
adversary was dead on the street on
the opposite side of the depot.

tragedy as the body was being carried
to the undertaking establishment. He
tainted i'm front of Willis and LaRue's
store, and fell heavily to the pavement
and was assisted to the Minis hotel
where he was confined to his bed, for
several days it being feared that he
had sustained a conclusion of the brain
in the fall.
