DECIDED IN FAVOR OF
THE DEFENDANTS.

A very unique and interesting law
suit has just been heard and a verdict
rendered in the circuit court at
Greeneville, that is of much interest
in this section as it involves the Ten
nessee Eastern Electric company, of
this city. The style of the case is:
Luther Shanks VS.. Tennessee Eastern
Electric Co. and the Tennessee De-
yelopment Co. The companies have
offices in this city, their lines running
from the power plant near Greene
vile to Johnson City.
Last August Mr.. Shanks, who lives
near Alton, was out in his corn field
at work and one of the poles along
the transmitting line was struck by
lightning and set on fire. The wire
was knocked to the ground When
Mr.. Shanks went to examine the burn
ing pole his foot came in contact with
the live wire and was badly burned
that part of 1t was amputated later.
The foot is yet in bad condition and
another operation may be necessary.
Three days were required to try the
case, which was holly contested by
counsel. The jury returned verdict
in favor Of the defendants.

The anti-Lea supporters in demo-
cratic ranks have let secret out, in
that a statewide compulsory primary
law will be introduced in the next
legislature. if the anti-Lea forces con-
troll or have an opportunity to secure
its enactment. They estimate the val
ne of such a law as the means of
forcing Lea before the democratic vot-
ers of the state to secure re-nomina-
ton. If they can do that, they be-
lieve Lea will have but slight chance
to be returned to the senate.
Senator Lea is expected to bitterly
oppose this legislation, and will en-
deavor to keep the way open for an
old-time party convention as the
means of securing his denomination.
In all of his political carer, Lea has
won more in conventions than in any
other way. He came into prominence
through one in defeating John l. Cox
for the democratic nomination for
governor by forcibly taking over the
control of the convention. He nomi-
mated Rye, in May, in a convention
that was organized by the anti-Lea
forces.
The state democratic executive COM
mittee, organized at the same time,
and which was the time an anti-Lea
committee, has almost, if not wholly,
been changed to a pro-Lea committee.
With a record of achievements like
this, and his series of successes in
conventions, Senator Lea would not
not be calculated to be favorable to
the primary plan.
The republican and independent
members of the legislature
will be favorable to a primary law.
They originated the idea in Tennessee,
and the fusionists of the Legislature
eight years ago passed primary law,
later declared unconstitutional by the |
supreme court.
With it all, the republican and in
dependent democrats are watching de-
at Nashville with interest |
and adopted policy of "watchful
waiting"

articles and rumors of rapidly moving

Shields said that he did not wish to

LEA SAYS "GOD HELP RYE"
If OTHERS ARE FRIENDS.

Nashville, Nov. lin a statement
here tonight relative to interviews
given out by Congressman Hull and
Mcclellan and A. L. Todd, candidate
for speaker of the senate, concerning
the conference in Nashville Sunday
Senator Luke Lea said in part:
"A meeting was held in Hull's room
at the Maxwell house, No. SO, Sunday
last, attended by two defeated candi-
dates for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton, their managers and other sup
porters in this fight against Gen. Rye
and by Congressman Hull and Nc
Kellar.
Neither Gen. Rye nor anyone who
has been intimately connected with
either of his campaigns was invited
to the conference or told of it or its
purpose.
las result of this conference a
candidate for speaker of the senate,
A. L. Todd, was put in the field with
out consulting Gen. Rye's wishes and
in spite of the fact that 1t was cur
, rently reported that Gen. Rye favored
the election another.
after this conference one member
of it visited the home of had had a
conference with that guardian angel
of democracy, e. b. Stahlman.
"A. L. Todd announced in the Ban
ner Monday for speaker of the SEN
ate."
Senator Lea challenged them to
produce "a statement from any re-
putable man that have Endorsed any
one for office under Gen. Rye, or have
asked anyone to become candidate
for office before the general assem-
bly,"
He then continues: These ostrich
like creatures believe by raising the
cry of machine and boss they can
divert attention from the fact that
they are dissatisfied with the prohibit
ton laws and desire their repeal, and
have come here, set themselves up as
bosses and proceeded to try to ped
die the offices and organize the legis-
lature, without ascertaining or con-
sulting the wishes of any member of
the general assembly or of the actual
and titular leader of the party, Gen.
Tom c. Rye.
Despite these protestations of
friendship from Congressman Hull and
Mcclellan that they are Gen. Rye's
best friends, then all of those who
have followed his political fortunes
through thick and thin can say: God
help Tom Rye"

POLITICAL FIGHT
ON IN BRISTOL

= Bristol, Tenn, Nov. 18.-The elec-
ton of j. Parks Worley to succeed
himself in the state senate from the
second Tennessee district, foreshad-
ows the probability of a battle royal
over the Bristol postmastership
While Senator John X. Shields, who
is supposed to recommend a candidate
for the Bristol office, is said to be
under special obligations to former
Gov. John l. Cox, as regards any can
didate the ex-governor may recon-
mend, it is intimated that Senator
Worley, who has a special pull on
/ United States Senator Luke Lea, has
made up his mind to wrest the Bris-
/ tol patronage from the hands of the
ex-governor and bestow it upon those
who were loyal to him in his recent
hard fight for reelection to the state
senate.
1t is believed that Worley's choice
for the Bristol office will be John H.
Caldwell, prominent citizen and for
mer democratic nominee for congress
in the first Tennessee district. 1t is
said that Mr.. Caldwell has had his
eye on the postmastership for some
months as being just about the thing
for man who wants job that will
enable him to be with his family. 1t
ic Cai6 hof nd Prfn do
will get behind the candidacy of Mr..
Caldwell, and that, regardless of any
aspirations of Ex-Governor Cox may
have in this connection will endeavor
to secure the appointment of Caldwell.
There has been some intimation to
the effect that ex-Gov. Cox might
want the office for himself, but he is
quoted as saying that he is not can
didate for the appointment. Granting
that this is true, it is understood that
his choice for the office is N. d. Bach
man, Sr., an ex-Confederate and a
man of wide popularity. Although
Mr.. Bachman is well advanced in
years, he enjoys good health, and his
friends are hoping that Postmaster
General Burleson will not enter the
objection against him that was enter
ed against Capt w. A. Dickinson of
Johnson City, and that is that he is
too advanced in years to suit the
policy of the administration.
The Bristol appointment will be due
next spring, and already figuring" is
going on.

NEW FAST TRAIN

proposed change would result in a
complete sake-up of the schedules OF
several Of the trains running into Bris-
toll. according to rumor afloat in rail-
road circles.
Further than that Norfolk & West
ern and Southern officials have been
at work on the matter for several days
nothing has yet been given out Off
cially. The Roanoke Times of Tues
day says:
! "A reporter for the Roanoke Times
interviewed L. S. Johnson vest, rt'ay
morning in reference to a report
printed in the Birmingham Age-Herald
relative to the proposed plan to di-
vert the Birmingham special. Birm-
ingham to New York. from the route
via Atlanta and Lynchburg, over the
Southern, to the Chattanooga Bristol,
over the Norfolk and Western via
/. s-aoke and Lynchburg. He states
..Iai the information conveyed therein
is practically correct 1t is not the
intention to commence the operation
of this train via the Chattanooga route
Immediately, but as details may be
worked out and business conditions
warrant, there is probability that
the Birmingham special will run via
Chattanooga, over the Southern rail-.
way to Bristol and from Bristol via
the Norfolk & Western to Lynchburg,
whence it will be returned to The
Southern railway.
According to the tentative plan
outlined in the Birmingham paper, the
train would leave Birmingham at noon
and would probably arrive at Roam
oke around five o'clock in the morn
ing and would give Roanokers going
TO Washington a new schedule to that
point, the train arriving in the nation
al capital around noon. On the return
the train would leave New Y TX
around ] o'clock in the afternoon and
would pass through Roanoke, south

OUR ARMY AND NAVY.

We believe President Wilson is
right in his attitude against a larger
army and navy. Let us perfect what
we have in quality, both of men and
materials. and rely on that. especially
now that all the other strong nations
or as we call, the first-class powers
are at war exhausting themselves.
The News Scimitar for years has held
that while other nations were impov-
erishing themselves by the weight Of
their increasing ornaments and sap
ping their vitality, and with arma-
ments that were hardly built before
they became obsolete, that America
could and should avoid this tax and
drain on it's energies and resources,
and if war did then come later we
would have the reserve strength, if
necessary, to whip and save the
world. We might perfect our inland
waterways both to further increase
our real wealth and to provide pro-
tected harbors and docks for shelter
ing, repairing and building rapidly
warships, if real danger threatened
or was upon us; our sea walls of the
Atlantic on our east and the Pacific
on our west, with the Great Lakes
and a thinly populated friendly coun-
try on the north, and the Gulf of
Mexico and the other Americas grow
ing more friendly with us on the
south, constituting us a world, and an
invincible world, in Mem.
