1900 and 1904; was elected mayor OF
Jonesboro in 1881, and, at his death,
was a member of the board of man
ayers of the National Soldiers, home
in, Tennessee. He was first elected
representative to congress from the
first congressional district of Ten
'nessee in 1896, and remained in con-
gress for fourGee nyears, or until his
death.
His congressional record is an en-
viable one, in that he surpassed all
records in accomplishments for his
people. The total appropriations Sc
cured by him for hsi district in ten
years practically doubled those Sc
cured by the entire state in the 100
years previous; the appropriations
through his efforts being $2,797 900;
and those for the state for 100 years
prior being $1,642,229. Some of the
most notable results of his work are:
The establishment of rural free deliv-
cry in the district, Washington coun-
ty being the first county in the Uni
ted States to have such service, and
the district appropriations amounting
to nearly 100000 annually; postof-
flee buildings and increased service
at Johnson City, Bristol and other
points; establishment of federal
court at Greeneville; founding the
Appalachian Park movement; inaug'
urating the national good roads idea;
building of the National Soldiers
home at Johnson City, at cost of
$2,1OO,OOO; and many other works too
numerous to itemize.
While the present generation needs
no reminder of the memory of Colo
mel Brownlow and of his achieve
ments, yet the shaft to be erected by
his daughter becomes another ma
tional monument, and an index to the
most progressive page in the history
of East Tennessee and of the south.

SENTIMENT
IS GROWING
FOR SUFFRAGE
JOHNSON CITY ASSOCIATION
DOUBLED MEMBERSHIP
IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS
Mrs. Z. X. Perkins Says Says This
Influx Comes From influential
and Well Informed People;
Other Union Notes.

Washington, D. c., August 2S-Mrs.
E. K. Perkins, of Johnson City, Tenn,
Secretary of the Johnson City branch
of the Congressional Union for Wo-
man Suffrage, declared today at the
Washington headquarters of the Con-
gressional Union for Woman Suffrage
Washington, d. c. that the senti-
ment in favor of woman suffrage was
growing rapidly in Tennessee.
Our Association" said Mrs. Per-
kins, has doubled its membership in
the last few months and this influx
comes from influential and we'll in
formed people. Mrs. George Sells,
wife of the brother of Representative
Sam Sells, has recently joined us and
Mrs. w. ]. Exum, Mrs. L. Armbrust,
Mrs, Ferdinand Powell, Mrs. Hugh L.
White, Mrs. Paul E. Devine and Mrs.
]. P. Metzger are all interested help
ers.
"Ous President, Mrs. Captain Mil
burn, is a most energetic organizer.
We are planning to push right for
ward the work of gaining the support
of the Tennessee Representatives in
Congress in the next session for the
Federal suffrage amendment forbid
ding disfranchisement because of sex.
We are preparing to have personal
letters sent to the Congressman and
Senators in the Western part Of the
State from members of their own con-
stituencies.
1.-THE Eastern part of the State"
Mrs. Perkins said, naturally inclines
to support a federal suffrage amend
ment. There is no use of amending
every one of the state constitutions
to gain reform which could be more
easily secured by a single amendment
to the United States Constitution.
mo woman likes to waste time,
money and energy, and to divide the
suffrage movement up into state sec
tions would certainly do that"
Mrs. Perkins, who is now visiting
friends in Washington, D. c., is plan
ming to leave for her home in Ohio,
and will return from there to Ten
nessee.
