Groom. because of poor support at
various moments, had to use all his SCI

the honors, but he proved equal to the
frame. The sox received him with a
fusilade of hard bingles in the opening

ADDITIONAL SUGGESTIONS
FOR GUBERNATORIAL RACE

Nashville, Jan. 27.-In political cir
cles there is much talk concerning Cor
dell Hull and Chas. E. Snodgrass for
the democratic nomination for govern
or of Tennessee. Judge Hull lives at
Carthage and represents the Fourth
congressional district. Mr.. Snodgrass
lives at Crossville and at one time also
represented the Fourth congressional
district. Many regular and independ-
ent democrats say that either of these
gentlemen would prove satisfactory to
them, as each has strong following in
the state. Among other names men,
toned In connection with the demo-
cratic nomination is that of Judge w.
K. McAllister, of Nashville, formerly
member of the supreme court. It is
not known whether Judge McAllister
aspires to the position, but from the
comment in hotel lobbies as to bis
availability it seems that he would
not be Objectionable to many in both
factions of the democracy. John
Thompson, formerly commissioner of
agriculture, is also frequently mention.
ed in connection with the democratic
nomination.

BUILT THE FIRST
MILE OF RAILROAD

"There is grave in Greenwood cem-
etery," said an old-time railroad man,
"the stone a: the head of which bears
only the name of the man whose re.
mains are buried there, the date of his
birth and the date of his death. Yet
that man-John Raymond-built the
first mile of railroad for commercial
use and designed for locomotive power
ever put down on the American con-
tinent.
"That was in 1928, and that initial
mile of railroad was the beginning of
the Delaware and Hudson Canal Com
pany's roailroad between the head of
its canal at Honesdale, Pa, and its
coal mines at Carbondale. And on that
first mile of track the first locomotive
to turn a wheel In America was run in
August, 1929.
"John Raymond was a native of
Walton, Delaware county, N. Y, and
died in Scranton, Pa, in 1883. He
ought to have place in railroad histo-
ry, seems to me. New York Sun.
