ANTI-SELLS FORCES ARE
NOT SURE WHO'S LEADER,

Greeneville, June 20.-The political
pot is beginning to do some boiling
III the first congressional district,
Inc fight is between the Sells and the
anti-Sells factions. The old Sells
forces seem practically a unit in
their support OF Sells for reelection
while the anti-Sells forces have been
having to contend with IAN army of
generals in that a number of them
feel as if they should be given the
race against Sells in the primary
Which is set for September 5. The
situation is such now that the fight
for supremacy among the anti-Sells
forces has narrowed down to two, and
these two are Hon. j, W. Howard, of
Greenyille, and Hon. J. B. Cox, of
Johnson City. There is some talk
among the more conservative republi-
cans OF starting a movement to elimi-
nate all the announced candidates
and nominate a new man. But this
would not be possible at this late day,
FOR the first district republicans like
a scrap at least once every two years,
and their only chance TO have one
seems to lie in their ability to keep
two factions in the party.

SCHOOL EXPOSITIONS
FOR THIS FALL

The State Normal school is work
ing to interest schol superintendent
teachers and officials in holding
school expOsitions in every county in
East Tennessee this fall. The plan as
worked out by Prof. D. r. Haworth
and Prof w. J. Souder provides for
county exposition or fair, at which
the products of the school work in
manual training, agriculture, domes-
| tic science and arts, as well as in
other school subjects, will be shown
in competition for prizes and awards,
which it is hoped the superintendent
| can secure through the cooperation
of public spirited and progressive cit
liens.
Immediately following the county
exposition the exhibits in the several
departments winning county prizes
will be forwarded to the State Nor
NAL school and placed on exhibit. In
this way there will be brought to the
normal school the best school pro-
ducts of each county. Already Prof.
Haworth and Prof. Souder have Sc
cured the promise of sufficient awards
and prizes for the general exposition
to be held at the normal school.
1t is believed that this plan can be
made very helpful to the public
schools by stimulating interest, first
in the schools of the several coun-
ties that will compete with each 9TH
er, and later by the competition of
county exhibits at the state normal
1t is hoped that within year or two
a suitable exposition building can be
erected on the normal school grounds.
Already plans are under way looking
to this, and the idea has been pre-
scented to the state boar dof education
and has been approved by it.
