NEW PRIMARY BILL
PASSED BY LEGISLATURE

Nashville, March 2S.-Amid scenes
of confusion and disorder the senate
late Tuesday night passed the primary
bill as amended by the majority of sub
committee of the election committee
by a vote of 20 to 8. The bill as pass
ed by the senate is an entirely new
bill, save for the caption from the
one introduced early in the session by
Senator D. D. Humphreys and known
as senate bill 30S, the primary bill.
The new amendment provides that
both primaries, democratic and re-
public, shall be held on the same
days; the tSate executive committees
of the two parties are made the pri-
mary boards of the two parties; the
new executive committees thereafter
elected by the parties then become
the primary board and they are to be
govern the elections and are to be
elected by each party at each primary
election.
Each of these primary boards shall
have absolute control of the jrimaries
of their parties, the county boards
however, having certain duties and
powers. There shall be no run-offs
except in case of ties between the
two leading candidates.
The judicial and county officers are
not included in the primary plan, but
only the Office filled at the regular
November election and the date of the
primary is set for the first Thursday
in August Watchers for each can
didate are provided for and it is made
misdomeaner for persons to vote
in both republican and democratic
primaries and is punishable by fine
Of from $50 to $100.

MARKETHOUSE AUD COURTHOUSE
PROPOSITION
WILL Be PUT TO A VOTE
THE LEGISLATURE HAS PASSED
BILL ALLOWING JOHNSON
CITIANS PRIVILEGE

The legislature has passed a bill
authorizing the calling of an election
giving the citizens of Johnson City the
right to vote on a bond issue for a
court house and markethouse, the
two to be in the same building.
The law as passed give the voters
the right to select the site for the
building, and much interest is being
shown in the proposition. 1t is stat
ed that an election will be called in
few days and that an active campaig
will be inaugurated and waged to in
form the people of the provisions of
the bill.
1t is more than likely that a mass
meeting will be called within a short
lime to discuss the proposition with
he people, and there is not much
doubt at the present time but what
the courthouse and markethouse will
oe built, but yet it is uncertain.
If there is anything that city the
size of Johnson City needs it is a
narkethouse. Why not get in the
1ield and work? 1t is going to be up
to you, Mr.. Voter, whether there will
be markethouse in Johnson City or
not, so get busy,

IMPROVING CATTLE BREED IN
MOUNTAIN COUNTIES OF n

The legislature of North Carolina.
enacted a rather novel but extremely
useful law for one OF the extreme
western counties, Mitchell, his re-
quileing the county commissonae to
purchase a pure shorthorE bull for
each township.
1t is quite probable that other coun-
ties in the mountain region viii fol-
low the example set by Mitchell in
requiring its county commissioners to
purchase a pure shortho,m 'Ull to'
each township. In some conueies
people have privately given such
bulls, and in some the banks have
given them. IN The high counties ali
the scrub cattle have tcel wceded
out, and great favor is shown Gho, l.
horns and Hereford cattle mainly he
cause they are excellent but'er-tdt
producers and also have liS Lodies,
and so are good for butchc:ing In
one county the writer saw only ;nc
ersey, and number of farmers SAID
that this breed did not suit them, aud
that they liked the Guernsey better.
Part of the high counties are to
large degree cut off from North Caro-
lima. because the railroads run no, tn
ward but there is tremendous de-
mand for the high quality OF beef
produced there, and it is well lnown
in the great markets. The biggest
shipper in the high mountain regions
is Frank Shipley of Vale Cruci'. He
has only Herefords and sborthorns,
and he is building more silos, of which
a great many are needed in that re-
Manufacturers Record.

HIM AT THE MUNSEY MEMOIR
IAL CHU rich SUNDAY

Many of the friends of DR.. Dobbs

church Sunday afternoon to pay
! their tribute of love and respect to
the departing pastor and family. The
meeting was in charge of the Minis
ters' Association the Childs' Rescue
Association and the Watauga Avenue
! Presbyterian church, of which DR..

pastor of the M. f. church.
Rev. Dobbs was largely responsible
for the founding of the Childs' Res
cue Association of Johnson City, and
of which he has served as its presi-
dent since it was organized. This
association was represented on the
program by Hon. Lee L. Miller, who
spoke of the intimate relationship of
DR.. Dobbs to this work, of the pur-
poses aims and the work of this wor-
thy enterprise which stands as a mon
ument to DIR. Dobbs.
Mr.. Miller presented resolutions
from the Childs' Rescue Association
This was followed on the program
by Dean Mathes who spoke as rep

tive and appropriate words. He eX-
pressed his abiding interest in the
churches and the people of Johnson
City. He spoke especially of his
hopes and good wishes for the Childs

IX MEN HAVE NARROW
ESCAPE FROM BIG FIRE

Bristol March 27.-Sis men had
larrow escape from death early yes
terday morning when fire from an
unknown origin gutted the Mahoney
building at the corner of State and
sixth streets. The blaze was first
discovered about one o'clock in Min
)r's drug store 1t is estimated the
building and contents were damaged
from $25,OO0 to $4,000, practically all
covered by insurance.
Minors drug store, Radunsky and
Levine's clothing store and the NJ. and
II. Osborne store were the heaviest
losers A number of Offices on the
second and third floors were complete
ly demolished.
Several entrapped men made their
exit through windows to roof on the
west side of the blazeing building
where they were rescued by means
of laddrs placed against the walls by
firemen. They all suffered severely
by the smoke which poured from ever
window on the second and third floors

will want more of these crops than
can be grown on the sod land and
will cultivate for two years, following
tobacco with corn or corn with tobac-
co. Where the land is cultivated two
years cover crop of crimson clover
or rye should be Sown between the
cultivated crops to plow under in the
spring.
Wheat or other small grain should
follow the second cultivated crop
corn or tobacco. Then the clover and
grass viii be swn on the especially
prepared seedbed in the late GUNNER
or early fall after the wheat is cut.
This rotation calls for two or three
years in clover and grass, one or two
years in cultivated crops and one
year in small grain. 1t also provides
pasture hay, corn, silage or corn
stover to feed the stock and straw
to bed them with so that manure can
be made to help keep up the fertility
of the soil.

ADVANCE CLAIMS OF JOHN
son CITY AND ELIZA
BETHTON

Citizens of johnson City arc enthus.
iastic over report that the $11 1000
900 government armor plate plant
would be located here. The report
originated from news coming from
Washington and other eastern cities
which stated the special board was
more impressed with the advantages
offored by the Watauga site than any
other in the south.
The report said Birmingham was
not favorably considered by the board
because of the quality of ore found in
that section.
1t is expected the special board will
announce their selection of the site
within the next few days. They have
completed the itinerary and have in
vestigated supplemental briefs for
ward to Washington.
Senators John X. Shields and K d.
McKellar have been urged by citizens
of Johnson City to lend their aid in
advancing the claims of the Washing
ton county site.

RUSSIA FIRST TO GIVE
VOTE TO WOMEN

Washington, d. c., March 24.-Rus-
sia will in all probability be the first
world power among the western ma
tions to provide in its constitution for
woman suffrage, said j. G. Ohsol, for
mer member of the Russian duma rep
resenting the city of Riga, today.
IF a constitutional convention is
elected by universal suffrage as pro-
vided in the provisional governments
manifesto, there will almost certainly
be, dozen women among the dele
gates, and the convention will grant
votes to women almost without dis
senting voice.
And delegates who would oppose
woman suffrage would be laughed at
1T will probably surprise Ameri-
cans to be told that in Russia which
in many ways has been the most re-
dictionary of western nations, there
is no such sex prejudice as exists in
England, France, Germany and the
United States
