MAY ADOPT METRIC SYSTEM.

The civilized world has only one
unit OF measurement in common
time. The second is based upon a
sixtieth part of a sixtieth part of a
twenty-fourth part of the time Il
takes the earth TO revolve. Other
weights and measure systems vary.
However. 1t now has been proposed
that this country shall adopt the
metric system which was invented in
France. IL has for its basic unit the
meter, a fraction of the distance from
the earth's equator to the pole.

sation and these are the president and
secretary. Neither position is held by
Dr.. Massey. The position Dr.. Massey
holds is simply honorary and nothing
is paid him but his actual expenses
when on duty for the home.
1t is not necessary to follow his

to the falsity of his statements by sim.

he still repeats the charge that DIR.

sion or not, but as there is no rate by
the pension office of $3.50 per month,
we doubt whether Mr.. Sells is suffi-
GENTLY informed to know anything
about pensions or how they are obtain
ed. II the doctor gets pension, he
has to make the required proof of dis
ability in the line of duty, like all
who draw pensions, and not only this
but not only this but has to be exam
ined by a board or boards of surgeons
who are sworn officers of the govern
ment. 1t appears as reflection on all
soldiers who draw pensions, The sworn
statements of comrads, the board of
surgeons and last but not least, on the
pension department at Washington.
1t is an assault upon every soldier i'll
the United States, and this is Mr.. Sells
who is assaulting the character of
everyone who does not do his bidding.
1t is well TO look with big question
mark, suspiciously upon any assertion
made by him as an assassin of char
acter and has always been. His il
tention is to divert the attention of the
voters, from his real official life at
Washington. He utterly fails to tell
the people what he has done as con-
gresham, and HES himself upon the
question and his record in
the state senate a number of years ago
and in this undertakes to rob all repre-
in the state Legislature of
any credit which they were due. He

The greatest crime committed by the
last general assembly was in voting

sause Of the exodus to Alabama. 1t
was the most fragrant case of graft ever
attempted IN Tennessee. 1t was 90
rotten that number of members re-
fused to take the money, but 1T seems
that Sen. Ed Butler was not of that
Number. On the contrary he is among
The first of those who took the unearn-
ed coin. This fact is proven beyond
doubt by letter from Treasurer Tay-
Tor to Capt. Nelson, published else
where in this issue. Ifyou disapprove
of this act you should vote for Capt.
Nelson for senator and help elect a
wan who will serve you honestly and
faithfully and will only accept the
salary allowed by the constitution,
Capt. Nelson has served term in the
senate and the record he made is hon.
orable and creditable and upon that

statements
"Yes, | am the individual whom Mr..

of having exposed his hypocrisy and
treachery with wich he deserted, aban-

every friend in johnson county, the
very men who had, at the risk of their
personal salty, stood guard over him
while he spoke at Mountain City, who
had defended him against slanderour
allegations made against him and
which had been hung even over his
own doorway TO disgrace his wife and
children. Not only had he betrayed
these friends who stood like rear

of it all was that he had
