were needed to repeal that law, and he
told congressman Sells, that if he
would bit leave Nashville that the
whiskey people would subscribe $1O,-
600 to his campaign, as it was thought
that with him absent the four voters
needed could be secured. Mr.. Sells
stated as he has done at both the other
engagements, that there would be no
common ground on which he and the
liquor people could get togethor." ''.'
Mr.. Sells stated that his work in
congress had been carried on under
great handicap, and that his record
would compare favorably with that of
Mr.. Brownlow during that gentleman s
first term, and Mr.. BrownloW had at
that time every advantage with a
friendly house and friendly admins
tration etc. -
Mr.. Sells read letter from w. G.
Large an attache of the state prison,
the Sewer county member of the con-
gressional committee in which that
gentleman stated that he could prove
lha' Dr Massey had told him that
'run Taylor would raise $40, 1000 for his
campaign expenses, and Mr. Sells said
he made DIR. Massey admit that he
had said this at Elizabethton, that he
had only said it as joke. Up until
this time Mr.. Sells stated that DR..
Massey had denied ever having even
said it.
Mr.. Sells again went into the
Doctors record as member of the
state senate and charged that by no
single act could he give proof that he
should even be termed Republican,
and that he was then as he is now fol-
lowing John |. Cox. He said that in
stead of running as Republican that
Massey should really be making the
race as whiskey Democrat.
Mr. Sells also read letter from Mr..
Hamilton of the anti-Saloon league
which denied tina: the anti-SaloOn
league had been back of DR.. Massey in
his second race for the state senate,
but on the other hand that the league
officials, had then understood how he
stood upon the temperance question
and Mr.. Hamilton characterised him
as one of that class of politicians who
pretended to be for thing before elec-
tion, but who did not make good with
their votes after election.
Mr.. Sells made tlattering inn
preston here. His speech, while
practically the same as that delivered
at Blountville did not strike his hear
ers as containing anything which
would have been better unsaid. He
was calm and deliberate, and ministers
present commended him highly for
the nature of that speech. He was in
troduced by D. X. Rowe, one of the
oldest Republican voters in the county
and a staunch follower of Brownlow
in his day. If the crowd which filled
the court house was an indica
| ton, there will be an overflow crowG

East Tennessee and Georgia
Association Formed at
Cleveland.
A $4,000 RACING PURSE
First Class Racing is Assured
Combination of Fairs Not Only
Means Better Races But Better
Amusements Negotiating for
Aeroplane Flights at all Fairs.

A association, composed Of the eight
principal county fairs in East Tennes-
see and two in Georgia and to be called
the East Tennessee-Georgia Fair CircuIt
association has been organized with the
following officers: J. Harvey Johnson,
of Cleveland, president; H. F. Camp,
of Coal Creek vice president. The pre-
sident was authorized to select and
employ a suitable man to act as secret
ary and treasurer for this year.
Morristown and Newport were rep
resented by r. F. Taylor, secretary Of
the Morristown fair. The new organi-
zation is to be composed of one director
from each association, who will be elect
Ell each year.
A Circuit of fairs and schedule of dates
were arranged. The season opens at
Coal Creek, August 2S to 80. Following
Coal Greek in regular order will be the
fairs at Kingston, Concord, Newport
Morristown, Sweetwater, Rhea Springs
Cleveland, Dalton, Ca, and Calhoun,
Ga.
The Newport fair will be held Sept.
Is to 20. The Morristown fair will be on
Sept. Is to u, inclusive.
The first important feature adopted
by the new organization for the coming
year was 2: 30 trotting race to be rum
one day at every fair on the circuit for
a purse of $4,000, divided as follows:
First, 81 500; second, $3.50; third, $3.50;
fourth, $500. Premiums are to be awar-
ded on the total number of heats won
at all of the eight fairs in East Tennes-
see, the two Georgia fairs being exclu-
ded. All entries for this race are to be
sent the president,J. Harvey Johnson.
President johnson is now negotiating
with an amusement company for series
of aeroplane flights to be giving at each
fair on the Circuit. If this and other fea-
lures now in contemplation are secured,
the fairs throughout East Tennessee
this year will be the biggest and liveli- !
est ever pulled off in this section Of the
south.
