OUTPUT TO BE
so TONS PER DAY
MONEY To Do IT
Capacity of 100000 Cubic Feet Is
Contemplated Will Be Bolt
Close to the Model Mill.

1t is said that in the near future
Johnson City will have a cold storage
plant which will cost in the neigh
borhood of $1,000 The news, COM
ing as it does fromIreliable sources, has
aroused much interest among the
people of the city as the enterprise is
large one and will mean a great deal
to us from commercial standpoint.
Recently, it is said, Eastern capital
lists became interested in Johnson City
as place where it would be profitable
to establish great ice and cold storage
plant, the plans of which call for So
ton per 24-hour ice plant. Most
people do not stop to consider that we
are only twelve hours from Washing
ton and eighteen hours from New
York. 1t will be seen by this that a
plant situated in johnson City could
place their stuff upon the Eastern
markets within very short time.
The growth of the cold storage bust
ness in the United States, in the past
few years, has been very rapid, due
probably to the fact that the govern
ment has done much through the pure
food laws and otherwise, to dispel the
prejudice and suspicion which has
heretofore existed among certain class
es OF people.
The plant to be erect7d here, it is
understood, will have a capacity of
more than 100000 cubic feet 1t will
be situated near the Model Mill and
things will be arranged SO that the
cold storage plant will be enabled to
use the surplus steam from the mill.
This in itself will mean a large saving
to the new enterprise. Work is sched-
uled to begin early in 1918.

A special from Bristol announces
that"John l. Cox is known to be against

ticularly interesting in this statement
except that 1t explains his backtrack-

governor announced some weeks ago
that he would be candidate for rep

platform, one of the planks of which

IT'S SIMPLY UP
TO THE VOTERS

The state committee declined by a
majority of one to recall the senatorial
primary, and the battle will 60 bravely
on. Probably this is best for all par
ties. The thing to do, if you have a
choice, is to enter the primary. There
is nothing to compromise. Any DEM
ocrat can vote in the primary, and he
is neglecting his interests if he does not
vote, makes no difference whether he
is an independent or a regular. Your
vote is the only thing that does count
in this fight, and SO if you have any
desire at all to have voice in the race
the primary is the only place in which
you can express that choice. There are
no qualifications and no nominee to
support in general election, expecting
the simple fact that you have been a
democrat. The primary is to be held
in November, at the same time the reg
ular fall election for president is held,
and every democrat voter who fails
to cast his ballot simply acknowledges
that he doesn't care who is to be the
next United States Senator. There is
a sentiment in the state to defeat Ex-
Governor Patterson, and the only way
il can be done is to vote against him.
II he gets plurality of the votes in
the primary the legislature will surely
elect him. 1t is simply up to the voter.
