MORRISTOWN
HAS DREAM

Morristown people are planning to
make the Morristown fair an East Ten
fair instead, and propose to have all of
the adjoining counties join in the pro-
position. The following explains the
plan:
Gas result of the splendid success
achieved by the local association this
year, the directors are planning a
greater and more comprehensive event
for next year. Secretary Taylor is the
originator of plan which, if accepted
hy all counties involved, will result in
the organization of an East Tennessee
fair proper, an annual SHOW in which
not only Hamblen county, but all ad-
joining counties will be actually inter-
ested.
"'Mr. Taylor proposes to reorganize
the local association, dividing the stock
between the counties of Hamblen, JEFF
ferson, Cooke, Greene, Hawkins and
Granger, with two directors from each
county. The local association is to
furnish the grounds and buildings and
the new organization is to hold an an
nual event in which all of the six
counties interested are to take part.
s.The repeated failure of all county
fairs except the Hamblen county fair,
is evidence of the fact that many of
the individual counties in East Tennes-
see are not justified i'll attempting to
hold county show. These same
counties are represented each year at
the Hamblen fair, however, and would
no doubt contribute more and more
to its success if they were part owners
of the stock ana actually and directly
interested
"Prominent citizens of the various
counties concerned in the new project
have been interviewed today and have
without exception given the plan their
hearty endorsement; some even going
so far as to plan for the beginning of
the work In their own counties at once.
"Morristown is the center of the six
counties mentioned and within easy
reach of the people living in all parts
of this section. 1t appears to be the
most logical location for show of this
kind and 1t is very probable that the
plan. will meet with the approval OF
the majority of the people of the coun-
ties adjoining Hamblen.

[oe Davis Meets Death at
at Hands of Eutha Reese.
STABBED WITH A KNIFE
Mother of the Girl and Wife of
the Victim Were Fighting when
the Fatal Wounds Were Ad-
ministered.

While endeavoring to part his wife
who was engaged in fight with Mrs.
Abe Reese, Joe Davis young married
man living in the vicinity Of Nolgh
was stabbed to death Saturday by
Eutha Reese young girl aged II
years, daughter of one of the women
engaged In the fight.
Considerable excitement has been
created BY the tragedy. The young
man who was about % years Of age
was well liked in the community and
had always had good reputation.
The Reese family, too, also had good
regulations.
The story as to the trouble vary to a
considerable extent. One of these has
it that Mrs. Abe Reese and Mrs. Davis
became involved In an alteration.
Mrs. Davis being the younger, was
getting the best of the battle when the
young girl took a hand. She had a
big butcher knife i'm her hand and
when Davis and an another man
sought to separate them Davis took
the girl.
No one saw the fatal blow struck,
but as the battle came to stop, Davis
exclaimed that he had beed stabbed to
the heart, and fell over on the floor,
expiring almost instantly.
The girl, SO it is stated, says that she
reckons that she stabbed him, but that
she has no knowledge of when it was
done.
The women were placed under
arrest.

BEATTIE TO
DIE IN CHAIR

Henry Clay Beattle, Jr.. of Ric h
mond, Va, a member of one of the
first families of the state, whose trial
for the murder of his wife has attracted
the attention of the nation, was found
guilty of murder in the first degree and
sentenced TO die in the electric chair,
Friday night. ~
Twelve farmers from simple homes,
who had Beatties fate in their hands
knelt in prayer in the jury room,
asked divine guidance that they might
pass judgment Alright, arose and voted
unanimously that the young man w&s
guilty of the crime.
The closing words Of the prosecutor
in the ease, who had made powerful
appeal to the jury were as follows:
"Let that man go free! What? Let
that man so free? Why, the mother
hood Of Virginia, the womanhood of
this nation will shudder in terror as
the security of it's life is threatened.
Let this man go free! The man who
basked in the degraded sunshine Of
another woman while at his home a
young wife nursed his child? Now
Gentlemen, will merely ask you In
the name of justice to do your duty"
No trial since the Thaw case has at
tracted the attention given that of the
Richmond case. On the night OF
July IS, young Beattie drove his
motor car into Richmond, Va, with
the body of his wife, shot through the
head, resting on his shoulder. The
young mans story that the murder had
been committed by a rough-bearded
stranger and that he wrested ftom the
murderer a single barreled shot gun,
was discredited by police authorities-
The state showed that Beattie killed
his wife that he might be free to con-
tinue relations with Beuiah Binford,
young woman of the underworld.
The defense's attorney gave notice
of appeal to the higher counts.

WELL KNOWN
CITIZEN DEAD
s
Dread Disease Cuts Short the
Life of Decatur Phillips.
MANY OTHER BAD CASES
Health Officer Smith Reports
That There Are Fully 100 Cases
in the Section of Bruner's Grove
Much Concern Felt.

| The North end of the county, that
section in the vicinity of Briar Thicket
is in the midst of smallpox scare
which is dangerous in the extreme.
Already one of the county's best known
citizens, Decatur Phillips has fallen a
victim to the disease, and at O'Clock
Monday morning death relieved his
sufferings. Sons of Jeff Holloway and
Harry Green are in a precarious con-
dition, and it is said that fear for their
recovery is felt.
The disease, so it is stated was
brought into that end of the county
from Morristown, by girl who
had contracted it in that city.
She had but slight case and
attended a big protracted meeting,
which was very breeding place fer
the disease, and Health Officer DR..
II. G. Smith who made visit to the
scene of trouble Saturday reports that
the whole section is literally alive with
it, and that there are fully one hum
dred cases, some very slight and others
very serious. He states that one fam
lily has had IA cases in it.
The usual quarantine has been re-
sorted to, but the people of that section
have paid little heed to vaccination,
and because of this fact the disease has
spread unhampered.
Decatur Phillips, whose death oc-
CURED Monday morning was one Of
the best known men in Cooke county.
He was staunch churchman and was
popular throughout his section. He
was candidate for trustee, in the last
Republican primaries and gave the
winner a close race, in four cornered
battle, his big vote from his home sec
tion being proof of his popularity. A
wife and seven children survive him.
