TWO STATES
Of TENNESSEE
EAST TENNESSEAN IN WASHING
ron RECALLS OLD QUESTION
OF CEDING TO L. $.
PROPOSAL NOT NEW ONE
FORTY YEARS AGO AN L. TENN.
MEMBER OF LFGlSLATURE
OFFERED CEDING BILL

Washington, D. c., Sept. 22.-Tht
suggestion said to have originated II
Memphis that two states be made OF
Tennessee. recalls that in the legls-
lature of 1878 William c Shelly, then
a memher of the iowol house from
Roane county. introduced a bill
which passed two readings, ceding
East Tennessee to the United States
for the pu~i"ar Of making separate
state.
The bill failed to pass because OF
the fight made against it by members
from Middle and West Tennessee.
East Tennessee was cedcd to the
United States by North carolina and
the state of Tennessee subsequently
formed out of the area thus ceded
and the territory already owned by
the rational government.
East Tennesseans in Washington
who discussed the Subject today de
clacd themselves in fav0" of ihe pro
ru,tG rration Of ues state, basing
t.; IL affirmative opinion upon the
claim nat the pecp. % the eastern
division are homogeneous and have
little, if anything, in common with the
people of the other geographical di-
visions.
The question arises in this connec
tion as to which section of Tennessee
would offer to cede iself to the United
States for the making of new state.
West Virginia, seeded from Vir-
ginia at the break of the war between
the states, and as the seeding section
was Union in sentiment, the federals
gobbled up West Virginia and declar-
ed it a separate and independent SOW
ereignty.
The old state of Virginia owed an
enormous debt, and Immediately after
tn ecreation of West Virginia the
mother state began to press her elop
ing daughter for recognition of her
share of that ebt. West Virginia de-
INJURED, alleging that as she was 70
longer a part of Virginia, she recog
nized no such obligation.
Aobut a year ago the United States
supreme court held that West Viz
ginia was liable, and was ordered 10
pay Virginia $14,000,000. The money
remains unpaid West Virginia alleg-
ing that her treasury has not the
funds out of which to pay it.
1t is alleged that West Virginia is
having trouble paying the salaries OF
state officials, and the liberal element
of the state is claiming that the state
is in this financial strait as a result
of closing up the saloons, whereby
several hundred thousand dollars a
year revenue was lost.
If Tennessee desires to be divided
into two states the question, which 1
section will throw itself into Uncle
Sans arms as a preliminary step to
the disunion.
In other words. which mouse will
bell the cat.

DOGS USED AS SENTINELS
