SELLS WISHES TO KEEP
HIS SEAT IN CONGRESS

Bristol, July 7.-Congressman Sells
has been in Bristol this week. A num-
ber of his political leaders conferred
with him on his visit to Bristol. 1t is
learned that he intends to be candi-
date for denomination for a second
term in congress. Friends in Bristol
and this section are busy in his behalf.
Several prominent republicans are be-
ing mentioned as possible candidates
against him.
Thus far, Congressman Sells has been
aggressive in his fight to oust -epubli-
can officehOlders in the First district.
Some months ago he issued a frank
statement that it was his intention to
remove every republican Ofticeholder
in the district who had been aligned
with the so-called "liquor democracy, !"
and its allies in East Tennessee, adding
that there were some prominent repub-
lican officeholders who were guilty and
that If excuse TO do SO could be found
that their official heads would drop in
the basket. Since that time he has
been busy removing postmasters, hav-
ing removed about forty in the district,
and filed their places with Sells re-
publicans.
There are number of congressional
possibilities mentioned, including for
mer Congressman z. d. Massey, Judge
G. M. Henderson and Gen. J. b. Cox,
United States district attorney, all of
whom have been prominent Brownlow
leaders. In the last campaign DIR.
Massey was nominated by it for the
short term and was elected and served
three months, from December to
March. He is now member OF the
Nationa! Soldiers Home board.
Sells friends here express the firm
belief that when the time comes their
will have no opposition for a
second term endorsement of his course.
The district is republican by about 49,
600, this having been Sells majority
last November. During the past few
months of the legislature Congressman
Sells has been away from Washington
much in the interest OF the fusion cause
Mt Nashville and looking after the pre-
servation of the election and temper
ance laws, which he had prominent
part in passing, as member of the
senate of 1909.

XIII More Than Wild Beasts.

The number of people killed yearly by
wild beasts don't approach the vast number
killed by disease germs. No lite is safe
from their attacks. They're in air, water,
dust, even food. But grand protection is
afforded by Electric Bitters, which destroy
and expel these deadly disease germs from
the system. That's why chills, fever and
ague, all malarial and many blood diseases
yield promptly to this wonderful blood pu-
rifer. Try them, and enjoy the glorious
health and new strength they'll give you.

WHERE IS REV.
HENRY S. BOOTH /?

Morristown, Tenn, July 8.-The
Rev. Henry Spencer Booth, originator
of the Methodist ''insurgent" move
ment, because of which he was forced
to resign his pastOrate of the Centena-
ry M. E. church, of this city, disap-
peared about two weeks ago and all ef-
forts of his relatives and friends to To-
cate him since have failed.
About June II, Mr.. Booth and his
family went to Knoxville to visit rela-
tives for few days, after which Mrs.
Booth and children went to her former
home in Maryville to spend two weeks
with her parents. Mr.. Booth remain
ed in Knoxville, occasionally writing
Mrs. Booth or going over to Maryville
for day for brief visit between trains.
Two weeks ago he disappeared with
out warning and without leaving any
clue whatever as to where he had gone
or intended to go.
The furniture and effects of the Booth
family are still in the house they FORM
erly occupied in this city, but the house
is locked and windows fastened from
the inside. The curtains have been re-
moved from the windows and the fur.
niture is packed and piled about the
rooms in a state of general disorder.
A day or two before he disappeared
from Knoxville Mr.. Booth came to
Morristown on morning train, went
to his former home, and after several
hours spent in the house was seen to
lock up and leave hurriedly in the af-
ternoon for the depot, where he caught
the Memphis special for Knoxville.
He met some friends in the depot at
Knoxville that evening upon his re-
turn from Morristown, but he has not
been seen since.
There is the ancient bar, fifty feet
long, where the thirsty coloaels befo'
de wah named their pizen and argued
politics in different phrase.
The floors OF the hotel look like the
gentle pillows of o Summer sea; the

and there are three colored pussuns to
wait on every patron.
