ROAD WORKERS
GET BUSY
Big Days Work Done on
Ketner Gap Road.
WhitWeII People Show That
They Mean Business in
ROad-BuiIding.

The Wbitwell people demonstrated
Saturday that they meant business
when they said they we're going to put
days work on the Ketner Gap road,
so as to make an initiative step to-
ward building first class road to
Chattanooga.
Over 1913 workers we're on the job,
and there we're that many teams offer
ed, SO many, in fact, that they could
not be used all at once The rain of
the day before had moistened the dirt
so it could be made to fly faster than
if it had been dry, and everybody
worked with zest. The road was
divided into several sections under ex-
perienced road builders, and great pro-
g7ess was accomplished. 1t is not
known exactly how much was accom-
plished, as the different crews worked
separately, but very gratifying pro-
gress was made. Saturday week there
will be similar road working carni-
val, and from the expressions of in
terest in the movement made as re-
suit of the splendid progress made last
Saturday. it is expected great big.
earnest, hard working mob will be
present to extend the work, Quite a
number who expressed ii belief that
nobody would be there to work, see
now that they we're mistaken in their
judgement of their fellowmen who
have the move at heart and declare
that they will be there with shovel
and pick at the next working, Satur
day, June 90
A fine photograph of the workers
was taken by J. T. Bottomlee, of
Whitwell, which will be preserved for
historical reference. The names of
the workers and those contributing
work will also be preserved.

day before and he said to me then,
"The way Coppinger has treated
and the old man | would get him out
of the way If | were you ALL" He
said he would help me all be could.
After leaving Throneberry' went on
towards Dutchtown and at the mill
dam | met John Throneberry and two
other boys, He called me off and ask
ed me If had seen Coppinger, and /
made the motion to him as though fir
ing gun. pulling the trigger twice.
He then asked me why / didn't lay a
knife down by him and claim self
defense. He then said he was as good
as his word, and went on with him
to his house, changed one of my shoes
that had tack in it and he gave me
tacksaw which l concealed in my
shoe. then made my way thru Hap
py Bottom and around to Hobbs Hill
to my brother in-law, George Bates,
and told him what l had done and
that I was going tssgive myself up.
then went to the Jail and gave myself
up. Coppinger has had me arr tested
several times and was mad at him,
but | am not glad of the killing
The Mountain Herald further
states that Kilgore secured some Of the
saws which were found by Deputy
Anderson, from John Lankford SO he
claimed. Lankford has fed the coun-
try, his wife telling the deputy that
he has gone to Oklahoma An attach
ment was out for him. Many more
may be implicated in this brutal mur-
der The proof seems to be against all
the men and there was nothing left
for Esq Tidman to do but to hold
these'men. 1t seems that Throneberry
had it in for Coppinger on account Of
his having him arrested for inhabiting
bawdy house and violating the vital
statistics law. If these other men are
guilty of planning this brutal murder
they should be dealt harsher with
than this other ignorant confessed
murderer. The defendants were all
carried to Altamont Jail Sunday for
safe keeping.
