DELEGATES TO
CONVENTION
To Be Selected By Republi-
cans Here Friday
March 1st.
INSTRUCTED FOR HOOPER
Not Much Interest in the Mass
Convention Which Has Been
Called for the Purpose of Nam
ing Delegates as Hooper, APP
parently, Has No Opposition
Cate for Judge.

The Republicans Of Cooke county
have been notified that a mass conven-
tion will be held at the court house
here, Friday, at which time delegates
will be selected to state convention.
Very little interest is attached to this
convention although it is expected that
there will be a good attendance, mas
much as it is the day preceding the
republican primary.
The sole duty Of the convention VIII
be the selection Of delegates whc in
turn will participate in denomination
of candidate for governor, and there
will be some little interest locally in
this nomination as it is more than
likely that Governor Hooper will again
be the nominee of the republicans of
the state. The fact that he will apparent
ly have no opposition, will keep down
the excitement in the selection Of the
delegates.
Coming so soon after the announce
ment of Former Presidenr Roosevelt
that he will be a candidate for the
republican nomination it will be inter
esting to see whether the convention
endorses President Taft or not. In
nearly all of the county conventions
held prior to to this time, President
Taft has been endorsed, but the COM
ing of Colonel Roosevelt into the
fray may change the situation.
The convention willhowever instruct
its delegates for Hooper for governor
and Judge Cate forjudge. The delegates
will be uninstrucled in reference to
railroad commissioner and member Of
supreme court.

a Noiseless Towns.

Noiseless towns are getting to be
quite the fad in theory. Just how the
noiseless campaigns work out is still a
question and probably will be while
the children of noiseless campaign agi-
tators follow the profession of college
yell leaders as has been the case.
But these agitators are in earnest
about it. A start has even been made
in Milwaukee where it has been sug-
gested that mercy be shown the victims
of noise by shutting off chidren's ex-
press wagon racket and roller skating
past hospitals and homes in which lie
the bed stricken victims of noise. 1t
has also been agreed that auto and
motorcycle exhausts shall be muflied
And they are-when the police are
looking.
Not satisfied with that some folks
want the dream breaking rooster and
the humanity serving hen completely
muzzled. Some cities have tried to
suppress the mocking bird whistles on
autos, check the exuberance of over
enthusiastic factory whistles and make
tug boats signal the bridges with deaf
and dumb signs.
Silence, nerve soothing peace and an
atmosphere of civilized calm is the aim
of these good people who are making
so much noise in the cause of quiet.

Last Friday, Nov. LIST, All Saints
Day, the beautiful statue of the Guard
ian Angel at ST. Mary's was dedicated
with appriate ceremonies. This beauti-
full statue was presented to st. Mary
church last July by their pastor, Rev.
Nicholas Weyer. 1t represents little
child looking up at the Angel, who is
pointing with one hand up to heaven.
The statue stands on high pedestal
on the grounds, the base of which is
surrounded with curbing and plants.
This beautiful gift is a remarkable tri-
butte TO the generosity and artistic
mind of the donor.
Rev. Stephen Klopfer of st. Johns
Deaf Institution at st. Francis. this
state, was present and delivered a fine
sermon about the Guardian Angel and
he also assisted Father Weyer with
confessions during the week. About
five hundred persons received holy com
munion which shows the christian spirit
of the large congregation.

dence in this city, she located with her
husband and family in Linden. Upon

needed the care of others, she made
her home with her son in this city.
She was good, conscientious, Chris
tian woman, fulfilling the duties of wife

praise.

Let Her Hum.

Your little girl is on the floor playing
with her dolls. She is unconscious Of
the world of grownups. She is happy,
and, being happy, she huns. Perhaps
you are trying to read some exposition
Of the tariff or some other intricate
subject, as analysed in a speech re-
ported in your paper. Perhaps the lit
tie girl detracts your attention.
But let her hum Don't for all the
world disturb her She is enjoying that
which soon she will never enjoy again
freedom from care After bit she
will be a merry schoolgirl, but there
will always be in the distance the wor-
y about tomorrow's lessons. She will
in time be a blushing high school grad
ate, but marring her perfect JOY will
be the wonder about what life is to
hold for her. She will be happy
bride, but there will steal in the chilling
thought of what sorrows may come.
She will be a contented mother, rocking
her babe to rest, but visions will arise
of diseases that may strike down her
dearest.
Always as one crows, new RESPONSE
bilites, new tasks, new worries. So
let your little girl hum now.

DR.. MASSEY
MAKES HIT
Delivers A Fine Vote-Get-
ting Speech Here to Big
Audience.
TALKED MOUNTAIN TALK
Big Crowd From Mountains En-
joyed a Running Fire Debate
Between the Doctor and Os-
Car Hicks, Who Interrupted
From the Audience.

Seven or eight hundred people
gathered in the courthouse Monday TO
hear DR.. Massey tell why he should be
elected to congress from this district.
1t is true, that over 500 of these people
came to Newport on special free train
from the mountains, and that many Of
them work at Crestmont, N. G., but 10
is evident that DR.. j. Walter Me-
Mahan expected their votes or he
would not have gone to the expense Of
paving their way from North Carolina
to Tennessee.
No one has made any claims of ora
tory for the doctor. but he certainly
delivered talk here which for a pure
vote get.er has never been duplicated.
He knew that his audience, the best
part of them, came from the noun
talns and he etalked mountain language
to them. He used the local situation
for his main points and when he got
into controversy with Postmaster
Oscar Hicks there was a running fire
of questions and answers for while
which enlivened the occasion and
which gave the doctor opportunity To-
make several telling points and he
thanked Mr.. Hicks for helping out his
speech. The doctor was introduced
by Oscar Easterly, lately candidate
for the legislature.
The doctor opened by expressing his
regret over the division which exists in
the Republican party. He said that
this great division began in Newport,
in Sevierville and in the smaller vol
ing places last March when small
portion of the Republicans bolted in
the county conventions. He said that
the Newport bolt was led by Post
master Oscar Hicks and he said that the
reason Oscar bolted was because he had
been promised the postmasterslip nj
Newport. He said, boiling was nof
new for Hicks, as Hicks always had
TO have something tempting held up
before him. This, said the Doctor. is4
what caused the trouble in Tennessee
and elsewhere, that the great divide
was due to the selfish desire Of the pie
seeker and that President Taft, hiM-
self, was all right, but that he had
been surrounded by bunch Of politi--
cal vultures.
The nomination at Chicago, the
Doctor said, was stolen and this would
not be denied by any Republican; the
Massey people had the crowd at the
Newport March Convention and this

CIRCUS WELL
ATTENDED
Sun Brothers Shows Drew Good
Crowds For Both of Their
Performances

Sun Brothers circus visited Newpo =
last Friday, and although it was not
weather which would bring the far
mers to town, it being fair and frost
coming on, there was crowd present
which practically filled the tentfor the
afternoon performance and in the even-
ing the crowd was larger than is usual
ly found at a nightiperformance OF a
show in this place.
Sun Brothers do not claim to have
the biggest show on earth but they
have good clean eXhiba'ion which
furnishes ample amusement for the
two hours it's in progress. It's OPEN
ing is different from most shows, as a
solo by an accomplished singer is the
first thing heard, the soloist arising
from the mist of the reseved seats as
the band strikes up q popular air. sun
Brothers show does not differ from the
usual circus. There are interesting
happings at all times. The sacrobats
come up to the standard Of the biggest
shows; in fact every feature is big
show feature, and the clowns, too, do
their part well. The show boasts of
the two finest trained elephants in
captivity and the act was well worth
the price of admission and there is no
question but what their claims of
superiority was sustained.
j. Allen Sisk who for the past sever
al wears has been associated with the
Chilhowee Extract company, left sun
day for Rossman, n. c., where he will
be located for the future.

THE speaker stated that DR.. Massey
was not the choice of a majority of the
Republicans of this districtand then
the speaker went into the subject of
The conventions, and pointed out what
he termed were great frauds on the
part OF the committee which was pre-
pairing tenn perary roll call al Greene
vile. .
Mr.. Sells said that the results from
those county tSconventions were no more
than that he had anticipated and fore
casted. He said that the character of
the men on his committee by Chair
man Shipley was proof Of the inten-
tion of the committee TO rob him, as a
political and personal enemy was
named in each instance.
Mr. Sells stated that the Republican
party had no hope ofsuccesS with such
men as Paul +. Divine, 4. Il. Shipley
and DR.. Massey seeking to lead it.
"Wherever you find a liquor Demo-
crat or a whiskey Republican, y ninty-
nine times out of hundred you find a
man who is opposed to me, was one of
Mr.. Sells statement.
He said also, that DR.. Massey was
coming here Monday TO speak and if
the Doctor talked as he had been talk
ing elsewhere that the Doctor would
tell about the attack on Old A. r.
Bowman at ttheGreeneville convention.
Sells said he nor no one else knew
who had hit the old man, but that
Bowman had been selected by the
Massey people to preside over the con-
vention, solely because he could be
arbitrary and unfair and that they had
expected the old mans age and his
physical disabilities TO afford him
protection in anything he might at
tempt, and furthermore Mr.. Sells said
that a friend had warned Col. Bow
man that the Republicans of the dis
trict were in no frame of mind to stand
for a steal and that Col. Bowman had
remarked that he would rule and that
the people would have TO take their
medicine. Mr.. Sells said that his
friends gathered at the convention,
