'reat Possibilities For

Few people realize the wonderful

Nd Andrew Redmond, local repre-

yerage man has no idea of how much
prses-andwagon hauling is done in
us country. An estimate, based on
cently collected government statis-
cs, shows that merchandise trans
prted by horse and wagon, motor
uck, engines and other trackless ve-
cles, is sixteen times as great as
at transported by railroads in a sim
e year.
Therefore, when one stops to think
at it costs approximately $4,000, ,O00,-

lads n our country for year, we
t some conception of the opportun-
for saving money by substituting
bwer vehicles for horse-drawn
ucks. 1t has been shown any num-
r OF times, in scores of lines of
tsiness that even an average truck
i'll do twice as much work as a
Prse and wagon can accomplish, and
r less money. If ratio holds true

any right to teach harmony?"
The identity. of the woman was not
at that time disclosed, but it has since
been learned that she will play an i'm

Sears reply to the question was that
if the couple were inharmoniously mat

DEMOCRATS SHOULD ACT.

The First Congressional District of
Tennessee is so strongly republican
as to almost discourage opposition to
that party, even when there is dissen-
sion and division in the republican
camp. Sometimes the democrats nom
mate candidate for congress and
sometimes they do not. So far this
year they have taken no steps looking
to a nomination, although the election
is little more than a month distant.
There is serious split in the repub-
lican party of the First District this
year, one wing being led by Congress
man Sam r. Sells and the other by
General James B. Cox. The contest
between these two candidates is be-
coming warm, and there is feeling
among democrats that their party
should do something more than, look
on. It looks like good fighting
chance for a democrat to go to con-
gress, if strong man is selected and
the party will get behind him.
Colonel Cy H. Lyle, of Johnson City,
has announced his candidacy. Colonel
Lyle is a democrat of unwavering
faith and allegiance, and would make
good representative, but without a
nomination he can hardly expect to be
elected. Several men prominent in
the democratic party have been men
toned in connection with the race,
among them Colonel ]. M. Barker, of
Bristol. Colonel Barker could take a
nomination and make the contest so
decidedly interesting that the election
of republican would not be fore
gone conclusion, by any means.
1t Is rather late in the campaign to
talk Of convention, but not too late.
The democratic leaders should take
prompt action to place congression-
al candidate in the field. A good man
would command the support of his
own party and would receive the votes
of thousands of republicans who are
weary of the eternal strife in their
ranks Bristol Herald Courier.

MASTERFUL SERMON AT
DEDICATION OF CHURCH,

| The great event in church circles
of Johnson City Sunday was the de-
dication of the new church home o.
the First Presbyterian congregation.
Rev. ]. Lynn Bachman, D. D., Of
Sweetwater. the speaker of the occas.
ion, used as his text: Therefore, my
Father doth love me, for l do always
those things that please Him."
DR.. Bachman spoke of Christ from
four viewpoints: Spirituality, subjec-
ton to authority and law; sympathy
and strength. His discourse was a
masterpiece of logic, illustration and
spirituality. The church home, the
cost of which was about $4,000, was
commenced about one year ago. 1t is
modern in its makeup, and has seat
ing capacity of more than 1900 people.
This is one of the best church houses
arrangement.
The scripture lesson was read by
Rev. John Wood, who has grown up in
this church; prayer was offered by
Rev. Dayton A. Dobbs, pastor of the
Watauga avenue Presbyterian church /;
DR.. John A. Allison, a former pastor of
the church, made a stirring talk, and
DR.. J. A. Ruble offered the closing
prayer.
Other local ministers present were:
Rev. w. M. Morrell, of Munsey Memo
rial church; Rev. J. N. Jessup, of the
Christian church; Rev. J. A. Mitchell,
of the Methodist Episcopal church, and
Rev. H. G. Clemens, of the West Side
Mission.
Besides the music by well trained
choir, violin solo was rendered by
Miss Margaret Wright.

THE PRICE OF DUTY.

We publish elsewhere an account OF
the murder of our half-brother, George
F. Campbell, which was committed in
Johnson City last Wednesday morn.
ing. 1t is difficult for us to discuss
calmly so foul crime against one so
closely bound to us by the ties of
blood, and yet we know, that, i'll tie
brave and courageous fight he has
waged so persistently against the law
less forces of Johnson City, he was in
constant danger. In keeping with his
oath OF office, George felt that it was
incumbent upon him TO enforce the
law within the city limits. In his de-
termination to do so he served warn g..
ing upon the leaders of the vicious
forces nearly year ago that they
could expect him to enforce the Law
or die in his tracks. He reeognized
the fact that his position was a haz-
ardous one. But we are proud OF the
fact that in the discharge of his du-
ties as chief of police he shunted no
responsibility because of the danger
to which the duty exposed him ah5
met brayely and courageously every
responsibility and even in the awfll
tragedy of last Wednesday the gun
shot wound in mute evidence of the
fact that he feared to face no danger
when the meeting of that danger was
the price that must be paid to meet
the duty that his official position I'M
posed, for the bullet entered his face
just under the left eye.
While there were some in Johnson
City who let no opportunity pass to
make it more difficult for the police
to retain control of the law-breaking
element, we are glad to know that
there were thousands of the people OF
that good town among whom are num-
bered hundreds who differed politically
with George, who gave him their I'M
qualified support and sympathy in the
struggle he made to drive the evil
doors cut of the city and to protect
the law-abiding from the encroach-
ments OF those whose only restraint
is the arm of the law.
We are glad that no violence was
attempted against the negro for while |
it looks hard to see a negro who de-
fed the law in snuffing out the life of
a white man claim the protection of |
the law which he so recently outraged.
we know it is better than the crime be
avenged in the name of the state, and
our purpose shall be to see to it that
the negro who committed this crime
is as speedily dealt with by the arm of
the law as is possible in our courts

HOOPER'S FAILURES.

/ Through the powerful influence OF
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
the Tennessee refunding board placed
short term notes in New York for the
81 100000 portion of the state debt ma
turing in October. For this the state
must pay per cent interest.
At the same time Gov. O'Neal and
the Alabama state board also placed
in New York a loan of $1,600,000 for
obligations maturing in October at A
per cent.
In other words, Alabama gets ST.
600,0 for $4,000 less annually than
Tennessee pays for 100000 smaller
loan.
Gov. Hooper and his friends have
been claiming for couple of years
that it is impossible to do better than
make short term loans because of the
condition of the bond market. In a
recent appeal to the bankers of Ten
nessee 1t was asserted that the money
could not be secured at 4 per cent. In
his set campaign speech Hooper is
claiming that the regulars limited the
interest purposely to make it impossi-
BILE for his administration to float a
loan. And in the meantime, the fund
ing board has cheerfully been paying
out per cent, interest on the funding
debt. r
The difference in the rate of interest
upon the Tennessee and Alabama
loans means one Of two things. Either
Hooper's administration has placed
the state in such position with Eas-
tern financiers that they are not anxi-
Gus to risk their money here, or the
governor and his friends have been
playing politics and letting business
alone.
Besides brokerage and discount,
Tennessee taxpayers are giving UP
$440, 900. additional interest on the en-
tire funding issue to date, because of
the inability OF Hooper and his board
to handle the situation as well as 1t is
being done in Alabama.
Add to this the enormous cost Of
new text books, and we have but two
of the great penalties inflicted upon
the people by Hooper and his cabinet.
1t would seem that the people have
had enough.-Memphis News Scimitar.

Hello, old friend Cy:
1 sure am glad you have decided to
make the race for congress.
There is no man in the first con-
gressional district that l would rather
see go. If / live and am able to get
to the polls, pledge you in advance
every democrat in the 7th and perhaps
a republican or two.
You certainly are right when you
say that $4,000 democrats in the first
congressional district ought to have a
democrat to vote for.
There are at least 1000 to 1900
young men in democratic families that
will cast their first vote and they
ought to have democrat candidates to
cast them for. The ticket ought to be
full. Governor, Railroad Commission
er, Congressman, Senator, Floater and
Representative. Sail into them, chat
is Hooper, Sells, Cox, etc.
l pray that you may be successful
for then l know there would be some
thing doing at Washington for the
boys down there. Hoping that your
candidacy will meet with the spirit it
should and with the best personal
wishes for you
