CY LYLE GETS A JOB.

No official appointment of recent
occurrence has given the general sat
isfaction and pleasure as did that of
Cy Lyle to be treasurer of the Sol
diers' home at Johnson City. Mr..
Lyle's entitlements are large and
nothing the democratic party could
do for him would be more than he
deserved, both ats man and demo-
craft as one he is honest, competent
and faithful, and as democrat he
is true and altogether regular"
This newspaper is pleased at this
deserved recognition and congratu-
lates the government on securing the
services of so competent man and
so genial gentleman in a place
which requires the qualities Mr.. Lyle
has to a high degree. The only thing
this newspaper has ever complained
of with reference to Cy is that he has
not lived up to his capacity as an ed
itorial writer. He publishes the
Johnson City Comet, and could, If he
would, make that publication one Of
the brightest and most readable Of
the weeklies of the state-but hi
won't do it for some reason. Perhaps
now that he has fairly good paying
Job, he may be able to give more
thought and attention to his editoria

In common with great many cit
izens The Comet has wondered why
the flag recently raised over Science
Hill High School should be allowed
to waste it's fragments on the desert
air. OF course this is an oversight
on the part of some one, more or less
inexcusable, but it should be cor
rected at once. The flag should be
properly cared for and raised only
when school is in session. The Com
ct agrees most heartily with Colone
James Sample, the Home cores
pendent of the Knoxville Journal anc
Tribune, in his criticism of this over
sight, but realizes that it is not from
any lack of respect and reverence
for this beloved symbol of American
liberty in any sense, but being every
body's business, no one attended to it

DEATH Of COL. JACK
FAW At LANCING n. c.

Colonel Jack Faw, for many years
resident of Bristol, where he was
once owner of the Bristol Daily Trib-
me. and Sullivan county representa-
i've in the Legislature, who was an
intimate friend of many of the old
'esidents of the city, died at Ills
Wednesday afternoon, at Lansing, n.
J.. following injuries sustained in
,ave-in of an iron mine in which he
was interested. According to infor-
nation received by the Herald Cou-
,ier correspondent at Abingdon, Col.
Jaw met his mishap at 10 o'clock in
The morning. The cavern, it is said,
occurred about 100 feet underground.
Both of his legs were badly crushed
md he sustained internal injuries.
Whether there were others in the
mine could not be ascertained, the
wires between Abingdon and West
Jefferson, N. c., the nearest commu-
nicating points with Lansing, being
Town. Colonel Faw, it is understood,
was visiting relatives near Lansing,
and was engaged in the development
Of some iron properties, it being
said that he was preparing to ship
his first car OF iron ore from the Lam
sing mine in about ten days.
Born on BOOne's Creek.
Colonel Faw was born on Boone's
Creek, in Washington county, Tenn,
in the year 1856. He was the son of
Rev. George P. Faw. His mother
before her marriage to Rev. Mr.. Faw
was a Miss Dockson, of North Caro-
lima, a close relative of the Dickson
family of which Rev. Thomas Dick
son, the noted preacher and novelist,
was a member. Colonel Faw was
reared on his fathers farm, and re-
ceiyed his education at the Boone's
Creek Academy.
While his literary advantages
were limited he early developed a
brilliancy of mind which caused him
to be the center of any group of men
with which he might be found, and
as he grew into manhood, his orator
ical ability, his boundless fund of hui
morous illustrations, and his logical
method of presentation of facts,
caused him to be in great demand as
public speaker and private enter
tainer. He was a profound student
of human nature, and an unerring
Judge of men. He engaged in the
mercantile business as young man,
then was a drummer for a number
of years.
Established Bristol Tribune.
He established, owned and edited
for number of years the Bristol
Daily Tribune, which was afterward
absorbed by the Bristol Courier. He
studied law and was licensed to prac-
tice in the year 1891, but gave UP
that line of work after following II
for year or two.
He was elected by Sullivan county
as Representative in the Lower house
of the General Assembly in 1898. In
1902, he was law and claim agent
of the Virginia Iron, Coal and Coke
Company. Following this work, Col
Faw prepared most excellent lee
ture, which he called "Under the Big
Tent" and for a number of years he
filled platform engagements all ovei
the United States. His numerous
stories and brilliant wit, caused him
to be much sought after, and any
crowd that heard him, whether in
political debate, on the platform, or
the street, or around the camp fire
felt itself privileged and highly enter
tanned.
