BRISTOL, Va, July 12.-This city
has a problem on its hands which Its
citizens demand remedied. 1t Is unique
in that it is geographical in char
acter. Half of Bristol is In Virginia
half in Tennessee. The state line runs
the length of it's main street. In con-
sequence there are two complete mu-
nicipal governments-two mayors,
two chiefs of police and so down the
line to two dog catchers.
Today an agitation was started to
solve this, and at the same time give
added glory to Bristol. 1t is proposed
to seek authority for the creation of a
new state. 1t would be a real one, the
advocates say. in that Virginia would
be asked to cede territory in south
west Virginia, Tennessee part of its
eastern lands. while Kentucky would
be expected to chip in with some Of
tho Cumberland mountain section.
Then Bristol would come into its
glory. and, in the view Of It's inhabi-

LOUISVILLE. KY, July 12.-John
Shell waited for century, and then q
third Of q century more. to become
famous. He remained in obscurity
until he had gone sixty years beyond
the biblical threescore and ten. -Four
years ago the spotlight Of the ma
ton was played upon him because 1t
then was discovered that he was the
oldest man in the world. Now he
is dead and laid in his grave in the
Kentucky hills at the ripe old age
of 1874.
An illustration Of why John re-
mained unnoticed while nations were
born and passed away can be OBJ
tanned from the fact that he was
dead nearly week before the news
wires. On Grassy ~craek, in Leslie
county, where Uncle John" as he
was known to the people round about.

born. life moves on today as 1t did In

holds that 1t would be just as easy to
get authority ceded by either Tennessee

give up the section that Is part OF
them and within the present city
limits. He called attention today to
the abandonment some time ago of
the proposal to have the state line
changed for this purpose and insisted
that the new state-which he sug-

D..
While in Louisville he patiently sub
mitted to examinations by leading
physicians, some Of whom came from
as far away as Chicago to see him.
They agreed that he was well over
the century mark. while most Of them
accepted his statement that he was
born in 1888. Tho extreme simplicity
of his life among the remote noun
taiEs was considered by the doctors
such lcng life. Devotion to the truth
was a passion with the Kentucky
mountaineers, and this fact weighed
heavily when his claims were consid-
cred.
Just before he passed on hs told
Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Creech, with
whom he lived, that he was tired Of
having lived so long and was ready
to go. Thus passed one who lived In
the administration Of every President
