NASHVILLE PAPER PAYS
GLOWING TRIBUTE TO
SENATOR ELECT, ".
A. OVERTON.

The Nashville Banner of Thurs
day, November 10 carried on the
first page a good likeness of Sem
ator-elect w. A. Overton, which
was accompanied by the follow
ing boquet of rose-words:
Uncle Billy" is one of the
members of the lower house of
the legislature who has been
promoted to the senate. His
knowledge of Legislative affairs
will make him a valued member
of that branch of the Sixty.sec-
ond general assembly. He serv-
ed in the house in the last legis-
lature and previously had serv-
ice in the sessions of 1911 and
1917. Neither in the previous
campaign nor in this did he have
opposition, although his district
is regarded as rather close. That
is an evidence of what the folks
back home think of him.
MIR. Overton is farmer and
resides nine miles from Gaines
boro. He is married and has
five children, three boys and two
girls, one son having been a sol
der in the world war. In 1916
Mr.. Overton was county Judge
of Jackson county and served
for several years on the county
board of education.
Among his friends---and they
are legion, he is known as one
of the watchdogs of the treas
ury. That "A" in his name
stands for "anti-appropriation"
and the member of the legisla-
ture who puts anything over
on Uncle Billy" will know ne
has been in a fight.
During the session Of the
1919 legislature Speaker Walker
often surrendered the chair to
the gentleman from Jackson
county. and when Uncle Billy
grabs a gavel and raps for order
there is something doing. No
member ever was heard to COM
plain that he got anything but
a square deal from him. He's
as honest as the days are long
Tor short at this time of year,
and during his fifty four years
has demonstrated by his daily
life that he believes in and prac-
ticee that rugged honesty which
command and compels the re-
spect Of all who know him.
His many friends are pre-.
dieting a splended record for
him as a member of the upper
house" ;"

senators. answering the call Of
Nelson Fisher. chairman of the
state executive committee, met
at the Maxwell House in Nash
villa. Nov. 10. and agreed to lay
sside all party differences and
% work in harmony during the
csming session of the General
Assembly. Each Of the mem
AeFs present signed a pledge te
Be- bound by the Democratic
caucus in the legislative organi'
zation plans and to support the
cAoices Of the majority for state
sffces. Only Ave Of the twenty
four Democratic members of the
Senate were absent.
Tho resolution unanimously
siopsed at the meeting and
sisned by each of the nineteen
ssxatOrs. read:
We believe that Democratic
unity in the Sixty.Second Gen.
Sral Assembly of Tennessee is
essential to Democratic success
in che future; that the indge-
uent of the party expressed
through its representatives is
better than of any individual;
fiat every good Democrat should
place his party's good above mis-
personal views and yield his indi.
yidual preferences to party ac,
ton on all political or partisan
matters. and that a decision by
a majority should be binding
upon oil.
I'VE believe that the Repub'
lic2ns will seek to sow dissensior
m Democratic ranks, and we fee
that this can best be secured BY
barty caucus action.
Therefore. we each respect
Tally pledge ourselves to. attend
y Democratic caucus of the Sen

Democratic candidates for al
sfficers to be elected by the Sen
ate, and to attend a joint caucus
sf the House and Senate for tn
purpose of nominating Demo
cratic candidates for all state
slaeers TO be elected by the Six
ty-Seeond General Assembly o
the State Of Tennessee; and w
further agree to abide by tn
setion Of said caucuses and t.
vete for the election of any an

CANAL MACHINE SHOP.
1t is Expected That the Plant Will
Eventually be Located at
Delaware City.

Eventually il Is expected, the central
machine shops for the Chesapeake x
Delaware canal will be located at Della
ware City, instead of at Chesapeake City.
Md, where the present plant is located
Delaware City has railroad connections
and is also nearer 10 the source OF supplies
which, in the case of the canal, is expected
TO be Wibmin gton. II has been explained
however that the reason the machine
shops were first located at Chesapeake
City is that most Of the work for the next
few wears will be between st. Georges and
the western end of the canal, and for that
reason the plant was located at Chesa-
peake City, which would be closer to the
scene Of active operations.
1t ie understood that the plan of the
government is to locate the principal
machine shop of the canal at Delaware
City, once the canal project gets well
under way. The same plan, 1t is also un-
derstood, makes provision for the main
Offices Of the canal to be located at the
eastern end of the canal, which is closer
to the office Of the u. S. District Engineer,
under whose direction the canal work ia
to be carried out and whose office is in
Wilmin gtOn.
A large number of people from Delaware
City are already employed by the govern
ment in their canal crews, not only on the
locks, but on maintenance and improve
ment work along the canal.
A number Of dump cars, TO be used on
the canal work, arrived some time ago.
There is also large crane at Delaware
City, which is to be used on the canal
work. Other machines Of large type are
to be sent there.
