NEW DEPOT FOR
JOHNSON CITY.

That Johnson City will have new
depot in the near future is now an as
sured fact. A prominent business
man who is said to be on the inside of
the deal, stated last week that the rail-
road company has just closed the deal
for a site and it is expected that work
on the new building will begin as soon
as the weather breaks. The site for
the new station is on the east side of
the railroad between Market and Roam
streets, being more than block north
east of where the present station now
stands. 1t is said that the new build
ing will be the finest along the line of
this railway.
The land on the opposite side of the
road has also been purchased by the
company and new freight depot will
be erected upon it.

When your back gives out;

When urinary troubles set in,

Local evidence proves their merit.
Mrs. Annie E. Dinkle, 600 w. Main
ST., johnson City, Tenn, says: Il
suffered great deal from by back and

pains across .my sides and l noticed
that the kidney secretions were unnat-
ural. At times l was very dizzy and
nervous and | had bad headaches.
Nothing did me good until used Doan's
Kidney Pills, procured from the White

began taking them, the misery in my
back'left and after continuing their
use for short time, l was well. My

northern Illinois have organized in
support of Governor Harmon of Ohio
as a candidate for the presidency and
have opened headquarters in Chicago.
This movement is timely and needed.
The strength of Governor Harmon is
that he has remained sober when 9TH
er democratic leaders have gone crazy,
and has thought and spoken sense
while they have thought and spoken
nonsense.
Such men as JudSon Harmon are
not continuously chartered about, but
they are remembered when their party
and the country need men to do mems
work.
All that is then needed for such men
to rise whatever heights of honor and
power the crises may require them to
assume is that it be shown they are
ready, willing and able to take an
aggressive and constructive part in
the contest.
The Harmon campaign has hitherto
lacked aggressiveness. 1t has not
shown resolution to act.
A successful campaign for the pres
idency of the Uuited States cannot be
handled like the management of a
state Legislature, especially under pres
ent conditions. 1t must make clear
to the general mind where and who is
the strong and upright man for whose
leadership all sober-minded men are
inStinctly seeking. When nonsense
is shouted from the street corner sense
also must raise it voice to be heard.
Governor Harmon has won repeat
eddy in his own state while the democ-
racy has been loosing, by doing the
opposite, in the nation at large. He
has carried Ohio. He is stronger than
any other democrat in such great and
doubtful states as New York and In
diana. He is man who can be spok-
en- for loudly and boldly.
His friends do we'll to raise their
voices

THE SHADED GRAY.

Gov. Hooper has written letter to
the commander of William Frierson
Camp of Confederate Veterans at Shell
by with reference to uniforming the
convicts in gray. lie denounces The
Democrat as guilty of deliberate false
hood, and says that as a newspaper it
is fit exponent of "the interests " it
represents.
Inasmuch as he has heretofore de-
nounced the democracy of Tennessee as
party dominated and controlled by
"ballot box suffers and political
crooks,n The Democrat does not feel
that it can be injured by his denuncia-
ton.
The governor states that he never
heard the color of the uniform men,
toned until he saw it in the Democrat,
and that he then took the matter up
with Commissioner Beasley. In view
of the fact that the governor has been
at such pains to impress the public
with the idea that he is studying pris-
on life and reform at close range, it is
rather remarkable that so important a
thing as changing the ancient garb of
convicts was not subject of consider
alton. But, according to his statement,
it is not He admits that Commission
er Beasley stated to The De- Gratis re-
porter that the garb would b, 'Shade"
of gray. The statement r'nae by Mr..
Beasey was that it would De gray"
There was no "shade" to it. Howev-
er, that is sufficient admission.
The governor says that "some" pro-
nounce it "brown," and "others sol
i've drab." 1t is not to be doubted that
still others might be found who would
pronounce it to be any 'shade" desired.
The governor asserts that confederate
veterans can not be lined up for the
whisky machine by appeals to pre-
iudice based on falsehood. He denounc-
es the democratic party as the "whisky
machine" and It's leaders as ballot box
suffers and political crooks. Yet such
false and defamatory statements from
him presumably must not be regarded
as appeals to prejudice But when his
prison commissioner announces that
convicts are to be CARRIED in "gray,"
and the point is made that gray is the
confederate color, he complains that
the statement is an appeal to "preju-
dice, " and that it is untrue because the
grade is merely "shade" of gray.
The governor makes the point that
the resolutions of the bivouac were not
drafted by veteran, as if young man
is oflicious who speaks out for veterans.
The like reason ought to somewhat re-
strain young b. Wade Hooper also. He
also declares that he and Mr.. Beasley |
are "Tennesseans born and Bred" but
bis birth has nothing to do with his
ate-found political love for confeder-
ates. Nashville Democrat.

JUDSON HARMON.

In this day of presidential booms,
and booming from managerial head
quarters and distributive agencies by
all sorts of means and devices, the
country has been impressed-and we
may say favorably impressed--with
the fact that one of the men most
prominently considered for pres
idential nomination has been singular
ly free from the charge of exploiting
himself as a candidate, says the Nash
Vile Democrat. Gov. JudSon Harmon
of Ohio is admittedly one OF the most
available and formidable candidates
for the democratic nomination, and
yet, so far he has not attempted TO
project himself into the limelight of
giaring publicity and to invite attten-
ton to himself by special defamation
or campaign activity. And although
he has very strong and earnest fol-
lowing, organized movement in his
behalf has been so slow or deliberate
in establishing aggressive national
agencies, many of his supporters in
the States are beginning to complain
at the delay and to urge thorough
system of campaign promotion. But
Gov. Harmon's course has been wise
and dignified, and one to be common
ded. In due time he may be expected
&c meet all the requirements of his pc.
sition as a candidate for the highest
honor at the bestowa of nation.
