If the republicans did lose Tennes-
see, they are not down hearted or
dismayed, for Il is great satisfaction
and consolation to them to see prac-

went astray after that little tin god
(Roosevel) thereby causing the de-
feat of the party, are again getting
into the union, and two years later
will be a reunited party, and rake up
the earth with Woodraw, and his par

BURROW DENIES MORLEY
SUIT IS NOT BONA Eide

Robert Burrow, counsel for the state
of Tennessee in the suit filed against j..
Parks Morley, former revenue agent,
few days ago, Saturday gave out the
following statement:
"In regard to the statement made by
J. Parks Morley, in his speech here
and at Bluff City, that the suit of the
state against him to recover 81, 200 al
legged to have been collected by him as
revenue agent, and which, it is alleged,
he failed to turn over and account for,
would be dismissed as on as the cleo
ton was over, have this to say:
Mr.. Morley was never more mis-
taken. The suit will go on whether he
is elected or defeated. 1t will not be
dismissed until there is decree either
for him or against him.
"Mr. Worley's charge that the suit
was brought for political effect, is, if
intended to apply TO me, absolutely
untrue.
hope for the good name of the de-
mocracy of Sullivan county that Mr.
Morley will be able to make good his
statement that the charges in the bill
are not true and that he does not owe
the state anything. He will be given
a speedy opportunity to do so. If he
will file his answer promptly and en-
ploy no dilatory tactics the case will
be heard and determined before the
meeting of the Legislature in January"

it will not bite anybody.
Hiram w. Bayless, who moved from
here to Knoxville recently, was up a
few days last week on business.

We notice Uncle Sam has signed
peace treaty with Ecuador, but who in

1t does look like Jim Cox could
have gotten back home in the demo-

failed to recognize the fact that the
channel was full of dry bones.

Now what worries us and caused
us to lose 90 much sleep on account
of it, is wondering which of the two

Well, the campaign is over and ev-
erybody glad of it. Many are disap-
pointed and their hopes blasted and
are gloomy and worse on account of
it. We should not despair, but put
on bold front and resolve to fight
again two years hence with renewed
vigor and energy fully determined to

If S. E, N Moore's self-appointed
congressional committee did not die
whinig, 1t will never pass through the
teethtng period. 1t is now developing
many SYMPTOMS of "Speretoots," bold
hives and other fatal complaints, and
will soon pass hence and be no more
forever. For such let us all be de-
voutly thankful.
AS the face of the returns indicate
the defeat of Col. Lyle for congress,
our people here have lost all hopes of
ever seeing the two Cherokee creers

classes, we have concluded to endure
what cannot be helped, ami alwa ys

SUNDAY KILLING
AT HAMPTON.

Elizabethton, Nov. 1.-Chas. John
son, sixteen years of age, son of Lum

According to information received
here Robert league, aged sixty seven
years, has been arrested and admits
that he fred the fatal shot, when the
victim with several other boys playing
Halloween pranks, attempted to carry
wood from near his home to place it on
a store porch. Soon after the tragedy
was reported in this place Sheriff r
&. Collins left for Hampton and began
al invests CATION, resulting in the ar
rest Of Mr.. league. IL is reported that
Mr.. league admits that he shot, but
says that be fred at a party of boys
with the intention of frightening them
away from his place. The boys death
resulted from a heavy charge from
shotgun entering his breast. None OF
the others in the party was reported to
have been shot.

ed on bond. Allen and Clark, lawyers,
represented the defendant, and the

neys Lee F. Miller and j. HI. Upton
The tragedy has cast a gloom over this
community and has been the subject
of much comment here and at Hamp
ton. Young Johnson lived with his
father, one mile from Hampton, and
was we'll known in this place.
Tbe funeral over the remains of the
