Thanksgiving How much joy and
sentiment is embodied IN that one
word. How quickly the gates of mem
ory swing apart at its sound, and old
friends and associations too often
closed out by the busy, wOrkaday world
again enter. Thanksgiving is truly
the home festival. On other holidays
we may seek entertainment elsewhere !;
but no matter where the children S
steps may Wander-and we are all
"chlIdren" in the thoughts of the
"homefolks at the magic word
Thanksgiving their thoughts turn
homeward. Happy is the absent one
who can then follow the long1ngs of
his heart; and happier still are the
folks at home to welcome him. In
the nomadlc life of the barbarian the
home is scarcely known, and family life
is little superior to that of our four
legged friends, But the higher the
civilization the more fully developed in
US is the spiritual side which makes us
reverence the sacred associations of
family and home. Unfortunate, in
deed, is the person to whom the name
home" has no deep significance. Sad
are those to wnom 1T must forevermore
these lonely ones today, but deem it d
privilege to share with them, not only
the material pleasures of our nome,
which consist of the fruits of our ply
slcal labor, but more important still,
let US share with them the love and
happiness and comfort that the heart
of the inmates alone can lmpart to
the home.

LOGGING PARTY HERE.
Passed Thro CrossvilIe Monday Over
Memphis to Bristol Highway.

The party that left San Diego, Cali
fornia, Nov. arrived in town Monday
at noon over the Memphis to- Bristol
highway from Nashville and went or
to lockwood that afternoon.
The party consisted of Government
Engineer B. H. Burell, appointed from
the office of good roads to report condi-
tions of the roads and other posslbili-
ties Wilbur Hall, magazine writer,
who is making the trip to gather data
and photos for magazine article; b.
H. Taylor, an expert chauffeur, and W..
4. Gross, of San Delgo. representa-
tive of the Panama California exposl-
tlon at San Deigo.
The party took dinner at the Niche
las house, and then hurried on to
Knoxville, their destination. They
had expected to pass some time here
consulting with G. W. Cline. chairman
of the eastern division of the Memphis
to Bristol highway, but owing to the
delay caused by the difficulty in get
ting Up the mountain In White county
and some bad road experienced in this
county, where no work has been done,
they were forced to pass on with out
stopping as contemplated. They
stated, however, that they met with
no difficulties until they reached White
county.
1t was explained TO them that those
difficulties would speedily be removed.
The four gentlemen were in big car
that bore the inscription IN big letters
on the side: Southern National High
way" The great highway they are
logging extends from San Diego. Cali
fornia, to New York t,ity. Its import
ance to this section can scarcely be
overestlmated.
An effort was made by parties at
Nashville to have the party go via
Chattanooga, but as President Palmer,
of the Memphis to Bristol highway,
had routed them via Crossvllle, they
would not dlverge and came this way.
1t seems evident that the Importance
of the Memphis to BRISTOL highway is
becoming more fully realized by our
people as whole and there Is no doubt
that to complete this road through the
will bring the most direct re-
suits in the shortest time. Our high |
way commissioners are fully alive to
the importance of this road and will no
1oubt take hold Of the work of COM
oleting it with energy so soon as the
funds become available.

ber Is promises to be warm one and
bring out vote much in excess of
what was polled Saturday.
There are many complications both
pro and con that will come into the
runoff and render the outcome very un-
certain. 1t is claimed that McKellar
Is Catholic and that he will lose
heavily on that account. Whether or
not he is Catholic we are not inform
ed, but it is being charged. 1t is also
claimed that the vote Saturday shows
that he is being supported by the whis-
key forces and that Patterson will
force him to declare himself on that
point and that the result will be heavy
losses for McKellar re gardless of which
side of the temperance issue he stands
upon.
1t is recognized that Patterson car
RES tremendous handicap IN that no
Carmack man can be expected to sup
port him and that for that reason Nc
Kellar must of necessity get the larger
support from the Lea element. On the
other hand 1T is admitted that Patter-
son conducted his campaign on high
er plane than did either of the other
men and tina. his conversion is accepted
as genuine by very large part of the
people and that he will continue to
gain supporters on that ground. 1t is
also admitted that Patterson is much
the ADLER man and would WELD more
influence at Washington than McKellar
could and that will give him additional
strength. But the question remains
or not he can overcome the
McKellar majority and the Carmacx
opposition.
To put 1t IN few words there Is a
hot fight ahead and the outcome Is
very doubtful.

SLIDE AT TUNNEL.
Engine and Slide Crash Together at
Tunnel Mouth, Near NesteI.

Thursday night at O'Clock the night
watchman signaled first No. 81
through-freight through the tunnel
near Westel, and walked through the
tunnel to the east end when he heard
second 81 coming up the mountain.
When 1t came up he signaled the way
clear, and the train of three cars con-
tlnued on through. Seemingly the
of the tunnel and caught the engines
and sheered it off into the ditch on the
south side of track, with her pilot ram
med into the mud bank. The engine
stopped with the tender still on the
track, with fifty-ton rock against the
front end OF it.
The engineer, fireman, conductor and
brakem were on the engine when 1T
hit, but only the conductor was slight
ly hurt by having his back wrenched
little. They all stayed with the en-
gine.
The engineer notified the officials
from Westel by telephone and it was
not long before seven section crews
were on the job, and the rocks and
mud began to move out. About a.
m. Friday Nos. and passengers
were able to transfer through; also
Nos. l and transferred through about
3 30 IN. the same day. All the rest
of the passenger trains got through
alright. Some delay on freights.
The Nashville wrecking crew was
late getting there and it was 8 p. M,
Friday before they got the engine on
the rails. Saturday morning the
wrecking crew took the disabled engine
through to the Nashville shops.
The slide occurred just at the open
ing of tunnel on the west end, and on
the north side of track. where the
banks are about 80 feet high and near
ly perpendicular the slide seeming to
be about feet deep at the base and
to the top of cut and extend
ing about three rails length on track.
From all that could be seen the slide
and engine came together at the same
time, as the engineer said he saw
nothing until he hit 1t or it hit him.

SERIOUSLY INJURED.
Maxwell Clark, Pomona, Cut His Foot
Badly Monday

Maxwell Clark, aged Is. son of Mrs.
j. }. Clark, Pomona, cut his left foot
very badly Monday forenoon while
helping his uncle, F. A. Washturn,
clearing land.
The boy was cutting poles and struck
his left foot on top and sunk the axe
through the large tendon and Clipped
off portion of the bone in the ankle.
DR.. V. L. Lewis was called and re-
moved piece of bone and dressed the
wound. While he hopes no compllca-
tions will arise there is grave danger
of the foot having to be amputated.
At any rate the ankle will be very
much weakened and the boy will be
crippled to an extent for life
The boy is energetic and bright and
is much liked by the people of Pomona
generally and the accident is very
much to be rergetted.

NEWSPAPER TO BE REVIVED.

A stock company has been formed
at jamestown to take over the Fen
tress County Gazette plant and build
ing. The deal is expected to be closed
by December and the paper started.
The Gazette ceased publication over a
year ago because of lack of business
patronage and since that time James
town has been without paper.
That condition seems to have become
unbearabIe to the live end energetic
crowd that nave been pushing the Dix
lie Short Route highway and they have
decided to put the paper on its feet.
Just who will be in editorial charge

Lea Mcclellan Patterson

While Patterson carried the county
by small majority 1t is generally ad
mltted that had the voters turned out
Mcclellan would have carried the coun
ty by fair majority.
At Grab Orchard the vote was very
pronounced for McKellar, which is
generally attributed 10 the attitude of
Senator I. E. Wilson and N. ID. Walk
err. While these. gentlemen did not
actively participate IN influencing the
voters at the polls, their known atti-
tude certainly had strong influence
on those who voted.
In Grassy Cove the vote was practi-
cally all one way Senator Lea failed
to receive a single vote and Patterson
only got one. This result is undoubt-
edly due to the attitude OF j. G. KEN
mer and Hon. q. w. Davenport, who
are known to be strong McKellar men.
There is much speculation as to who
will carry the county in the runotf.
While it is admitted that the McKelIar
men are in the majority 1t IS also ad-
mitted that the Patterson supporters
are uncompromisingly for their man,
while the Mckellar men are not so en-
thusiastic. Good judges have express
ed the belief that If the Patterson men
become active in the runotf, Patterson
will carry the county, which seems
logical in view OF all conditions.
THE RUNOFF.
When the result first became known
here 1t was freely talked that Patter-
son would very likely not insist on the
runoff, but would quit the race and
concede the nomination to McKellar.
That sentiment soon passed and it is
low admitted that Patterson will not
,nly insist on the runof but that his
chances to win are very bright.
Both Mcclellan and Patterson sup
)orters are claiming that their man
will get the larger part of the Lea SUP
,ort. In some instances both are very |
likely right and in other cases wrong.
With only $500 majority McKellal has
10 sure thing in the runof as is gener-
lily admitted and the election Decem-

LEA IS ELIMINATED
M'KELLAR LEADS,
Mcclellan Leads Patterson by $500 and
Lea by I0.000.-- December
IS and a Hot Campaign In
Sight; Result in Doubt

The senatorial primary held Saturday
by the democrats resulted in the COM
plete elimination of Senator Luke Lea
and Congressman X. D. Mckellar re-
ceived the largest number of votes,
while former Governor M. r. Patter-
son came in second, which means the
runotf will be between those gentle
men. The date fixed for the runof is
December Is. Senator Lea has an
nounced that he will support the nomi-
nee.
The vote was very light generally
over the state, less than half vote
some places. The vote as compiled
from unofficial returns is shown to be
little less than 10000 The official
count is not expected to make any ma
terlal change. Senator Luke Lea fell
little over eight thousand votes be-
hind former Governor Patterson and a
little over ten thousand behind Con-
gresham Mcclellan. Mcclellan has a
clean lead over Patterson of 2,489 ac-
cordlng to the latest figures obtainable
and the Officit. count is not expected
to change it - any marked extent.
