BUILD POWER PLANT
II is More Than Probable That a
Power Plant Wi be Construct
ed as the Tannery People Own
Two Power Stes-Surplus for
the TOspn.

1t Is announced that new tannesy
is to t,e erected here by England and
Bryant. Work ON same, it is said, will
begin i'm the near future and from forty
10 fifty men will be given permanent
employment in'uhe new industry
In connection with the erection nf
this new plant 1T is probable that a
power plant will be erected, as the taR
merry company owns two water power
sites Shove their property. In case the
power plant is constructed, the COM
psny vail have surplus power in
abunAanoe, and Newport would, ,af
course, profit by this, and day cuF-
rent wenld he the result.
The tannery has been located herefm
. aperSod Of az years and at the present
time ls5 men ere on the payroll, which
means that this concern provides for a
population of 'at least 400, and when
the rev tannery is constructed two
hundred additional members of New
ports population will be taken care Of.
The pay toll of the company at this
place Is Approximately S42, 600 and the
new mill will Increase same close 10
$6O,OO0 per year.
The tannery handles about SEQ ears
per year and the addition of the new
mill will mean that fully 1909 ears
will be handled by that firm each year.
The company ds tanning 25O hides
per day with the present equipment,
while the new tannery will increase
this business to 375 hides per day.
The tannery has been mainstay of
the town since it was first brought
here. La the first few years bark was
purchased as low as 81 and $3.50 per
ten, while at the present time it costs
the company about 80 to secure a ton
of bark, much of the bark used, now
being shipped here. The wages of the
company have increased at least 40 per
cent since, as the company has been
forced to pay more for its labor with
the Increased cost of living.

EVIDENCE OF COMING
MASSEY SELLS CONTEST

Sam Sells has talken the oath of Of
foe and is now tine representative of
the First District in Congress. DR.. q.
D. Massey who succeeded the late
Walter P. Brownlow has returned to
his home at SeNierville. He will enter
upon his duties as manager of the
Soldiers home at Johnson City, at
once, and while he is at tine present
,ont of office, it is said that he will keep
in the ,limelight and will make an ef-
fort to defeat Congressman Sells, in
1912.
Ever since Or. Massey took the oath
.of office it has been generally conceded
that he would break with SELLS. The
break came even sooner than antici-
.pated and F9lls was forcad to make
numerous hurried trips to Washington
lin order that he might protect his
rights.
AS a sorapper Congressman Sells
has gained State wide reputation and
Washington has already selt his pow
'er. Before quitting the Office DR..
Massey sought to have Postmaster
Howard of Greeneville Ee-appointed.
Sells had another candidate, Phil
Shoun, who he had slated for the
position and inasmuch as Howard had
BEEN one of his supporters in the con-
test with Gen. Penland, Mr.. Sells had
arranged to take care of Postmaster
Howard by having him appointed
warden of the State peniteatiary. The
was slow to be made, and
Dr. Massey took advantage of the situ-
alton to have Howard Is name suhmitt-
ed for confirmation. Sells became very
active and Governor Hooper had to
wire Washington that Howard had

OPENING OUR DEBATE.

Dear Daddy jim: AS I did not
know that I would have to open the
debate, [ had not thought much
about it, but since I must take the
start, [ will try to say few things.
The first thing we have to mention
is sin. Where did it come from? 1t
was not environment, and it was not
hereditary. The first account we
have of sin was way back yonder
in the beginning of the world, when
God created Adam and Eve. God
put them in the garden of Eden and
forbade their eating a certain fruit.
They did just what God told them not
to DO, and consequently what did
they do? They sinned. God himself
did not sin, SO where did they get it?
They inherited it. Even Gods own
disciple sinned. They inherited it
from Adam and Eve, and every gen
Grafton gets worse and worse. Peo-
pie are so mean now they say it is
caused from environment, and all
that may be true, but if the first par
ents had not sinned, we would not
have had sin. If you were out to
raise chickens for a prize you would
not get a sorry stock, but you would
get a fine stock where they had in
herited good qualities. So it is with
q person. IF he is a bad man and
does all kinds Of mean things and
even rears a family of children, nine
times out of ten they will all inherit
his habits, especially the boys Now
if thew are girls thew will inherit
their mothers qualities. They often
inherit the Qualities of the back gen
erations. With best wishes to my OPP
onert and the readers, yours truly,
