Dunlap the 9Th to be present at Chan
Gerry Court. As boarded the train at
Whitwell, TO my surprise i met the
Hon. Foster v Brown, and son. Joe,
L. N. Spears. and Charley Moore. at
torneys from Chattanooga, on board,
all billed for Dunlap to attend Chan
Gerry Court. Hon. Foster V. Brown
and son were the attorneys in the ia
nous and noted law suit of the Rome,
Ga, Insurance Co., and the Sequat-
chic Co. Bank VS.. Joe Anderson, Will
Hamilton, R. E, Kelly ct ais. filed in
Chancery Court under the laws of eq-
uity by plaintiff to recover judgement
on defendants notes for over Sc, 900.
The defendants fought to a finish, ma
king the point of law at the time they
executed their notes and took stock
they did so on the recommendation of
the Sequatchie Co Bank, who wrote
personal letter to the defendants who
certified be had Investigated the Rome
Ga, Insurance concern and it was all
right and they wei perfectly safe in
their investment, and thereupon they
took stock. Before the notes came due
defendants claimed they Investigated
said Rome Insurance Co.. and found
the same insolvant. and produced re-
corus showing the same to be fraud
and that the Sequatchie County Bank
had misrepresented the liability of
said company and it was when inves-

red to the bank and we're in the hands
of innocent purchasers, and the defend
ants failed in their defence and went
down like the great Titanic, with Hon.
Foster V. Brown and son as attorneys
behind the prosecution, whose equals
are not to be found in the state. Your
reporter is doing his utmost to arrange
date at Whitwell sometime in the
near future with the Hon. Foster V.
Brown, of Chattanooga. Marion Coun-
tvs favorite, to address the people of
the county on the political issues of
the day. Your republican chairman
will publicly notify every body by
placing notice in the News of the
date and place viii further arrange
date at South Pittsburg. We will
arrange to meet him will band as a
token of the respect and esteem we
have for him.
We notice the appointment Of the
marshalship of the U. s. District Of
East Tennessee is given to a Mr..
Thompson, of Dayton, Tenn. We
were satisfied that East Tennessee
would land that appointment from the
fact and the history of the records Of
the former appointments, which show
that not single appointment has ev-
or been made of record of such an APP
pointment in Sequachee Valley in 10
years. The first and last to ever be
appointed or recognized from this val
ley was Mr.. Raulston some 40 years
ago. Since thatdate such an appoint
ment or application by any applicant.
either democratic or republican, from
this valley has been absolutely ignor-
ed and turned down. We do say that
no man this side of the Rocky noun
tains ever bad filed on record as good
records of Endorsement and recognition
Of bis party as did DR.. N. B. Moore,
OF this place. He went down in his
tory as a Bryan advocator and Will
son supporter aud contributed to the
democratic and Wilson campaign, and
was backed up and endorsed by every
business and influential man of the
county for the appointment of u. s.
Marshal Of East Tennessee. We all re-
greet that DR.. Moore was turned down
for an East Tennessean at Dayton,
who, we are sure wasn't backed up
by as strong recommendation and en-
dorsements as was DR.. Moore, who, IL
he had had an equal show would have
made model marshal that East
Tennessee and the y. 8. division Of
our state would have been proud Of.
There is public friction and quite
a little stir and sensation about to
arise relative to the public school
board of Whitwell, as was handed out
to me some weeks ago. The citizens,
miners and tax payers of the town
had called meeting and elected two
board members of the T. C. T. Co.
and two citizens as board members
The report Is, so am Informed that
the T., G. /. Co. is fixing to put in an
Alabama man as board member, who
is not resident Of the State, and the
other two citizens as board members
say they will put on the third man on
the board so as to equal in number the
other side of the issue. So let me ad-
wise mediator between the two con-
testing factions. would advise for
peace and harmony to prevail. Don't
let either side of the issue attempt to
put on the third man. If you do you
will stir up confusion and dissatisfac-
ton and such sensation among the
contesting factions to the issue Joined.
You will paralize the educational in.
terests of the town. Please note this
and give it your close at
