The people of Sullivan county are
delighted with the action of the demo-
cratic convention in nominating Judge
Burrow as democracy's candidate for
the membership on the supreme court
to be elected at the August election
and they will show their appreciation
of this consideration by the overwhelm-
ing vote which they will give him at
the August election. Sullivan county
democracy sends greetings to West
Tennessee and her superb candidate
for governor with the assurance that
Jugde Burrows candidacy will reduce
the republican vote by 10000 in East
Tennessee at the August election and
at the November election we will give
Gen. Rye the best vote that any demo-
crat has received since the time when
that other popular son of Henry, that
peerless soldier and statesman, the late
James d. Porter, carried East TenneS-
see for governor Fusion has had but
little hold on East Tennessee at any
time and less now than ever before.
The results of the August and Novem'
Der elections will justify all that is here
predicted. The redemption of Tennes-
see is assured by the good work of the
state convention. - Sullivan County

CEN. RYE is
IN NASHVILLE.

Nashville, Tenn June 9.-'I will
make no statements relative to cam
paign matters until after the meeting
of The state committee, June ~"
This was the statement of General
Thomas G, Rye, nominee of the regu-
lar democrac3s this morning, at his
old headquarters at the Maxwell house.
General Rye arrived yesterday after
noon from Paris and said that the
probabilities are he will remain here
until Friday.
General Rye spent the morning in
conference with Mr.. Porter Dunlap,
his campaign manager, in the battle
for the nomination, with State Senator
Joe WEIGH, regular nominee for rail
road commissioner, with Lon H. Nc
Farland, of Wilson county and with
Col. John Thompson, manager of the
Davidson county campaign,
Gen. Rye said he was in splendid
health and feeling fine for the arduous
campaign laboFs. 81 haven't been
worrying any about politics since my
nomination" he said.
Gen. Rye was asked if he contem-
plated challenging Gov. Hooper to
debate, and said he had not given such
matter any thought at all.
While there will be no campaign
announcements forthcoming from reg
ular headquarters until after the meet
ing of the state committee, it would
not be bad guess to say that The Rye
forces will maintain their state head.
quarters in the same rooms they have
now.
Further, it appears certain that Por-
ter Dunlap, who vaged such a good
fight during the state convention, will
be selected as chairman of the Gen.
Rye campaign committee and lead the
scrap on into November.
1t is also believed that Col. John
Thompson will be identified with the
committee.

BUMPER CROP OF WHEAT
UPPER EAST TENNE%SFE

JOnesboro, June S.-The drouth
which has been prevalent in this and
adjacent counties forthe past month
H.; last been broken. For the past
,Aiee days there have been LoCd
showers which has done much to-
ward reViving vegetation. While the
Eay crop has been damaged and the
potato crop has suffered the corn
and wheat crops are looking fine
and the prospects are very fattering
for large yield this season. The
farmers will begin to cut their wheat
this week and if nothing prevents
the prediction is that there will be
bumper crop this season.
Sheriff J. e. T. Williams is confn-
ed to his room with gall stones and
is in a very serious condition. He
became ill last week and has been a
very sick man since. He will be
taken to the hospital as soon as his
condition will permit. Sheriff Will
liams is serving his second term as
sheriff of this county and was renom-
mated for the third term. He has
made a splendid officer and has the
and respect of all the peo-
pie of this county regardless of po-
litical atIiliation. His many friends
hope for his speedy recovery.
