REPUBLICANS OF
SULLIVAN INCENSED

Bristol, Sept. 28.-The members Of
the republican organization in Sullivan
county are up in arms because of the
appointment by Gov. Hooper of DIR.
Geo. Keener, of this county, to be sur
geon at Brushy Mountain prison. A
meeting of the executive committee
will likely be held next week TO con-
denim the appointment, The organiza-
tion leaders, who are unit in protest
ing, declare that the appointment was
made without consulting the republi-
can organization and against its wish
es. They say it is a slap at Gov. Hoop
er's own party in Sullivan county, and
especially at Congressman Sells, who
had Keener removed as postmaster at
Kingsport only few weeks ago for al
legged disloyalty to the republican party
last year. The republican leaders said
tonight that the appointment not only
puts Gov. Hooper in a ridiculous atti-
tude, but that he has embarrassed his
own party and Congressman Sells.

JOHN RoBINsoNyS SHOWS.

John Robinson's show is the best
ever seen in Cincinnati. This is the
universal pronouncement of all Of our
best people interviewed on the subject.
This is not only for the price, but any
price, says an exchange.
II is an all feature show, nothing
tame or stale about it. The side show
is high class The menagerie contains
first-cIass animals, clean, healthy and
large. The horses and all the equip.
ment are clean, well kept and of the
best. There is nothing shoddy or shah.
by. In the arena the seating is close
to the performers, giving an excellent
view Of every act. And every act is
good Of its kind. There are several fea-
lures of the old-fashioned circus, dear
to our boyhood days, some that are too
frequently left out of the big shows in
recent years. These are the several
kinds of bareback riding.
The most agreeable part of the edit
or's experience is the politeness and ac-
commodation of all the employees. A
sweating stake mauler asked citizen:
1" How far is it up town." and to the
reply SAID "Thank you" No "Hey
Rube 70 about that. The vender of re-
served seats said politely to party Of
women buying tickets: Do you wish
seats up high where there is a cool
breeze?" Think of that, you who have
been used to the knock down and drag
out methods usually in voge at circus!
There is not an uncivil employee of
any kind about the show. Children
San and do get along rs well at the big
enterprise as at Sunday-school. 1t is a
show owned by John g. Robinson,
grandson of the famous founder, and
as q first-class Snowman
kinks big circus should be run.
1t is true TO its advertisement. That
way it fools people. BY its not making
claims, many people said

worth.

DIR. WILEY ON VALUE
OF COTTONSFED OIL.

In these days when so much is being
said about the purity of food products
and the healthfulness of different foods
it is refreshing to hear what the great
authority, DR.. Wiley, has to say about
cottonseed oil and its products.
The quotation given is from an ad-
dress DR.. Wiley made before the Inter.
state Crushers' Association in New
York last June
"You have meritorious article, you
have learned how to purify it and
make it palatable and attractive, and
you have everything now but the con-
fidence of the public and the knowl-
edge on the part of the consumer how
to use your product. Put little effort
in that line, and you will see what
wonderful returns you will have.
do not believe there is a man, woman
or child in this country, if the con-
sumption of cottonseed oil was common
today throughout this broad land, but
what would have better health and be
better judge of what is good to eat,
and be happier, by reason of his better
health, than he is today, so | am
pleading for the benefit of the public, I
am pleading for wider publicity Of
your product, for cottouseed oil as a
human food"

In REPLY
To Mr..
VERTREES
INDEPENDENT
COMMITTEE
ISSUES AN ADDRESS
Review OF Events Indicate That
State Issues VIII be Carried
to National Councils.

Nashville, Sept. 23.-The state COM
mittee of the independent democraticn
faction of Tennessee today issued an
address to the democrats of Tennessee
setting forth the harmony proposition
recently made by Chairman W.O. Yer
trees, of the regular democratic " fac
ton, and declined by him. A signifi-
cant paragraph in the address follows:
"The refusal of Maj. Vertrees and his
committee TO consider a proposal for
harmony renders it necessary to the
preservation of the fruits of the victo-
ries we have gained in the struggle
through which we have passed for us
to again buckle on our armor and
stand for our convictions of duty and
right, trusting to- the patriotism and
the integrity of the masses of the DEM
ocratic party for success"
From the expressions of the address,
unless some adjustment can be secured
in advance, state issues will be carried
into the national councils.

SENATOR BOURNE
REPLIES TO SPEECH
DOES NOT TRUST PEOPLE
Veto Of Arizona Resolution Con-
tains Direct Misrepresentation.
Criticism Plain Language.

Atlantic City, MI, Sept. 2O-Unit,
ed States Senator Jonathan Bourne, jr.,
OF Oregon, gave out q statement here
today in which he takes issue with
some OF President Tafts remarks in his
speech yesterday at Peoria, Ill. The
senator says:
"To use one of his own favorite ex-
pressions, President Taft was disingenu-
GUS in his speech at Peoria yesterday
when he attempted TO state his opinion
Of the people and also 10 define his at
titude toward TO Arizona constitution.
He says he has confidence in the sober
second thought OF the people, yet he
vetoed the statehood resolution which
proposed TO submit to the people Of
Arizona second time the question
whether the constitutional provision
for the recall should apply TO judges as
well MS to other officers. Here was .
plain proposal to submit to the sober
second thought Of the people, but the
president was not willing and insisted
that the recall of judges must be elimi-
mated, regardless OF the most matured
consideration.
l would regret to believe his state
ment that he put his heart in his veto
of the Arizona resolution, for his veto
message contains two direct misrepre-
sentations Of the provisions of the Ari-
zona recall and another that IL false by
necessary implication. had entertain
ed the charitable view that his errors
were of the mini and not of the heart.
The president was again disingenu-
ous when he said that many Of the
measures advocated by progressives
are state and not national questions.
insist that the initiative and referen-
dunn, direct primary, corrupt practices
act and recall are more than state
questions"
Senator Bourne, after declaring Pres
ident Taft does not trust the people,
said:
President Taft's declaration that he
Ia keeping in the middle Of the road on
progressive issues is also disingenuous.
There can be no middle course on the
questions Of the adoption of the funda-
meLtnls of popular government. He
who is not for popular government is

SOUTHERN TO BUILD UP
LIVE STOCK INDUSTRY

Knoxville, Sept. 25.-The Southern
railway is endeavoring to build up the
live stock industry throughout the
south, having established special de.
partment for this work, and is now in.
augurating a movement for the organ.
ization of local live stock associations
in every county along in lines in GeOr-
gia, Alabama, Mississippi, South and
North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee
and Kentucky.
The organization of such local asso-
Citations will prove of immense value
to live stock growers. They will stim-
uiate progress as they give an opportu-
nifty for exchange Of ideas and the dis
tribution of good breeds and the assS-
citation exhibits and auction safes pave
the way for excellen. county fairs and
live stock shows.
The live stock department of the
Southern railway is in charge of F. Il.
Word, live stock agent, who has offices
in Atlantis. For the next few months
he will devote especial attention to the
formation of county live stock associa-
tions and will be glad to cooperate
with hive stock men in any county
along the Southern railway. A letter
addressed to Mr.. Word will bring a
prompt reply and will secure his active
interest. He will be glad to hear from
those who may wish information as to
the advantages of local associations or
the best methods to adopt in organic
ing them.
