heir to an oil painting representing
"The Beauty Spot of the Unaka Noun

spends his winters in this valley and
his summers among 'the rocks and
rills, the woods and tempted hills" of
the Great Smokey range. Last sum-

GOV. HOOPER
REAOMINATED

Nashville, March 12.-After adopting
aboard and lengthy platform, calling
for statewide prohibition and certain
back tax reforms, the republican state
convention in session today at the Ry-
man auditorium renominated Ben w.
Hooper for governor and named the
Hon. H. N. Gate as their candidate for
the court of civil appeals.
After choosing these two candidates
they stopped, leaving unfinished the
convention call insofar as it related to
candidates for railroad commissioner
and the supreme court. Disposition OF
the latter was made in resolution Of
the executive committee, the sense OF
which was that if the committee DEEM
ed it wise nominations for railroad
commissioner and the supreme court
could be made later. This, it is believ-
ed, is loophole for the independents
to find excuse for coalition.
The convention moved off quietly.
No surprises were sprung. There was
little done save oratory. Among the
speakers was J. 7. Settle, colored, of
Memphis, who seconded the nomina-
ton of Gov. Hooper and promised the
support of 5000 negroes in Shelby
county. The convention was attended
by from 1000 to 1900 representatives
of the party from the several counties
of the state.
