expecting to arm themselves with this
supply.
From DR.. Joseph E. Carly. manager of
the Economy Drug company, Vine and
Central avenue, perhaps, will come the
Snly authentic story of how the rioting
Saturday night and Sunday morning in
the bowery districts of Knoxville really
had it's beginning.
DIR. Ca{ty'S store is in the heart of the
negro district and he perhaps knows more
Of them by their first names than any
other man in that section.
For % years the corners at Vine and
Central avenues have been the congre-
eating places of negroes every night in
the week, and particularly so on Satur-
day nights. On account of the unusual
excitement Saturday night and the fear
OF the negroes to venture into other parts
of the city, their customary hanging out
places We're more than crowded.
Beyond this and a tense feeling I'M
der current we noticed nothing out of the
ordinary down here early in the even
ing" declared DR.. Carly To-Day. "As
the evening advanced 1 noticed that the
feeling was growing in bitterness.
SIGNAL SHOTS FIRED
Shortly after IL o'clock l heard some
shots on Central avenue, near Vine.
This seemed to be the signal At any
rate, negroes poured down to the corner
of Vine and Central from every direction
it seemed to me. They came out of Cen
trail from both directions, out of Vine
from the east and west. They came from
the allies and from the buildings. In u
few minutes there were more than 100 of
them, according to my calculation.
a few white men were in the section
and shooting soon started in earnest. AS
to who fired the first shots, the white
men or the negroes, / cannot say. All
/ know is that the shooting started.

him the confidence and esteem of his
fellow-men, and nourished' and in
spired faith in their hearts in that
which is good and true.
Is not this the highest achievement
and the noblest distinction to which
the human soul can aspire? Such
lives help to create the public con-
science and give stability and
strength to the structure of our civil
cation.
Seldom has a drawer fight been
made than the unequal struggle
maintained by him during the last
six years of his life. During that time
he hardly knew well day or an
hour wholly free from pain. Patient
ly and uncomplaingly he fought life's
battle as bread winner for his fam
lily, driving by sheer force of will his
pain-racked body to its daily task to
within week of his death. It is by
such struggles and through such ex-
periences manhood is measured.
In the crucible of pain character
Is not only refined but revealed. We
honor the men who bravely wear the
"red badge of courage" on the field
of battle. Shall we honor less the
men who in civil life, with no ap-
plause but the approval of conscience,
win their fight in ife's battle and are
faithful unto death ?"
OF the deeper intimacies Of his
heart-his affectionate home life, his
loyalty and attachment to his friends,
l sahll not speak. I wish merely to pen
this brief tribute to the memory of
a soldier-a soldier of the cross, who
knew the meaning Of that cross, not
merely by faith but in experience.
One who lived his life by the faith
smiling into his last long sleep.
