Gasoline Company
May Be Organized

A new company is being strongly
talked of here just at the present
time, the purpose of which will be the
handling of gasoline, to be sold to
consumers at a two per cent basis.
We are reliably informed that the
company is being organized by local
gentlemen and The Sun man was as
sured this morning that it would be
a success and completed and ready
for business within very short time.
The excessive price that has been
charged for gasolin in Greeneville
the past thirty days has brought this
organization about. With the thou
sands of cars being used in Greene
vile and Greene county at the pres
ent time, to say nothing of the large
amount used for other purposes, our
people have felt the necessity keenly
for perfecting some plan of getting
gas at more reasonable price. Our
people have been paying 32c per gal
Ion for gas for several weeks, while
the citizens of Knoxville are buying
it, we are informed, at 12c. per gal.
Ion. If these facts are true, is it any
wonder they are seeking relief.

the United States today, Vice-Admi-
raj Sims has notified the Navy De-

here for victory loan features, and to

weather conditions and the fact that
the Americans are unfamiliar to a GER

not expected they will arrive much
before the last of April. They will
be accompanied by the submarine

CAMP JACKSON, Columbia, S. c.,
March 31.-The 117th infantry will
not leave Camp Jackson before next
Thursday afternoon, thus reaching
Knoxville Friday, according to the
latest available information. There
may be some trouble in routing the

the number of trains it will require

to Col Harry s. Berry in the matter
of entertainment. Col. Berry's 115th
artillery will move out Tuesday night
and reach Knoxville Wednesday, &C
cording to present plans.

117th into Knoxville over the north
ern route and if this is possible sever
al short stops will be made in East
Tennessee towns to allow the people
an opportunity to welcome the men.
There will be no parades or celebra-
tions but just breathing spells to
break up the long journey.
