FIRE SEASON In
APPALACHIANS
Opening Has Come and the Fire
Service Department Wants
Fighting Started

Washington, Nov. a, The for
est fire season has opened in the
southern Appalachians, according
to report sent to the forest service,
with three small fires on the
Unaka area in eastern Tennessee.
From now on until the winter
rains come; the service says, there
will be danger of fires spreading
in the dry leaves which the frost
brings off the trees. AT this time
of the year, however, there is no
danger from lightning, SO that
the efforts of the frost officers can
be concentrated to prevent fires
spreading from the railroads, and
to guard against the setting of
fires by hunters and chestnut pick
ers, and by farmers who are care
less in clearing up land.
The fire season in the southern
Appalachians is entirely different
from that in the west. In the west
ern mountains the long, dry sum
mer with its frequent lightning
storms and little rain keeps the
forest officers busy from the mid
die of May to September. In the
Appalachians, on the other hand
the summer season is usually ac-
companied by rains and there is
little damage done by lightning
The principal seasons of hazard
are in the late fall before the leav.
eS have been rendered non-in.
flammable by rain and snow, and
again in the non-infrequent dry
spells of early spring between the
time when the snow goes off and

TWO POSTOFF{CES
FOR BRISTOL

Postmaster General Burleson
Friday announced that Bristol,
Virginia Tennessee, would con-
tinue to have two postmasters and
two postoffices-one on the Vir-
ginia side and one on the Tonnes
see side of the city. The action
was taken as result of the pro-
test of residents of the Virginia
section of the city when the post
master general recently ordered
the Virginia postoffice closed on
October 81.

HALLOWEEN
COST BOYS LIFE
Knoxville Street Car Men Are
Charged With Shooting
Walter Lane

As the result of a Halloween
prank, Walter Lane aged IL is
dead at Knoxville, and two en-
ployees of the Knoxville Street
Railway Company are charged
with the killing. A crowd of boys
.endeavored to prevent a car from
travelling by placing a wagon
across the tracks, and in the melee
which followed shots were fired,
presumably by the street car men
and the boy, who was not himself
participating in the affair was shot
and instantly killed.

SPECIAL TRAIN
FOR TURKEYS
Thanksgiving Birds Will be Rush
ed to the Markets of the
East.

Arrangements have been made
for the running of a special train
from Knoxville and East Tennes-
see to the markets of the East to
carry the Thanksgiving turkeys.
The heaviest shipments will be
made about November is and IL.
More turkeys have been raised in
East Tennessee than in years and
it is probable that because of the
large number, that the Thanks
giving birds will not be so expen-
sive this year.

Eugene N. Foss, Governor of
Massachusetts, who has astound-
ed six other candidates for the
Govership by announcing himself
as a candidate for reelection.
The fact that there are so many
candidates in the field will make
the result very close on election
day, and it is doubtful if Cover
nor Foss will garner enough
votes to return him to office.

EDUCATIONAL
RALLY SUCCESS
One of the Best Programs
Ever Arranged for
Newport.
ATTENDANCE WAS LARGE
At Least One Thousand Teachers
and Pupils Gathered at Court
house During the Day to Hear
the Leading Educators Discuss
the Questions-Prof. Gilbreath
of the Johnson City Normal
School Was Present.

Friday, Nov. 81 was the biggest
educational rally day, possibly
ever carried out in Cooke County.
The program began at $50 o'clock
with lecture to teachers on the in
tereSt they should have in corn
club work and the corn club con-
test in the county, by Prof. S. A.
Miller, Industrial Agent. for South
ern Ry. This lecture was follow
ed by a splendid brief address by
Prof. w. Turney Fox, on The
possibilities of educated men and
women and it was much enjoyed.
At 1915 o'clock the Newport
High School came into the court
house, more than five hundred
strong, filling the chamber until
standing room was scarce.
Pres't S. D. Gilbraith, of the
East Tenn, State Normal, adj
dressed this body at 1890. In
introducing Pres't Gilbraith, Supt.
McMahan referred to the large
body of school children as Future
Cooke County," Pres't. Gilbraith's
address was along the line of
school work on the part of the
pupil.
AT II o'clock DIR. Ollie West,
Director of Sanitation for the
State, gave an excellent address
on Preservation of Life, " Proper
Sanitation" and THE Hook Worm
Disease" Dr. Vests address was
to the point and interesting
throughout. DR.. West is a speak
er who is interesting and he
proved himself to be full of his
subject. DR.. West came all the
way from Nashville here to adj
dress the teachers and citizens
and we feel sure that Cooke coun-
ty people appreciate his kindness
in SO doing.

row, with issues as they are, he
would get more votes than he has
ever gotten, against any man in
the state on the other side.
The men who are fighting Ben
Hooper now are making him
stronger with the people every
day. They are kicking him up in
stead of down. If the Law En-
forcement bills fail to pass, his
majority will be 10000 next time,
and a legislature that will not
only pass these bills, but also
other laws that the people want.
The people of Tennessee today
are in no humor to be dictated to,
by the Boss of whiskey-soaked
and Priest-controlled city.
The recent effort to donate a
large sum of the peoples, money to
a Catholic harem in Memphis is
unparalleled in Tennessee, or per-
haps in any other state, and Mr..
Hooper's veto of the bill will en-
title him to the respect of all God
fearing and God-loving people in
Tennessee, if he had done nothing
else to merit their respect. If the
legislature were to donate a sum
of money to the Baptist Orphan
age, the Odd Fellows Home,
Carson-Newman College, or to
the U. S. Grant University, as
worthy as these institutions are,
such gifts would be contrary to
the spirit of our government.
Since writing the above the
Law Enforcement bills have pas
sed. felt like saying in the
language that Garfield gave ut
terance to in announcing in New
York City, the assassination of
Aberham Lincoln, God reigns,
and the government lives" The
clouds are lifting, the atmosphere
is clearing and soon the sun will
be shining. Tennessee has been
passing through stormy period,
but there is a brighter day ap-
preaching. 1t will not be long
until it will be known by all men
that law is supreme, and that nc
man shall be permitted to put the
statutes of our state under his foot
and tramp them into earth.
Give us a strong, clean, capable
man, either independent or regu.
lar, who stands for the supremacy
of the law, against the saloon, and
whisky interest, a man in whom
the people have confidence and
!. there will be no more discussion
in the Democratic party, so far as
Independent democrats are con-
cerned, but if you offer us dose
like the last one prepared and
presented by the whisky interests
of the state, for one, shall beg to
be excused and without any ap-
pologies to my democracy.
