D. Lyons .Of Bluff City. They have gone down tho line together many times politically but it always seemed to those in the know1’ that they were watching each other with a wee.ther eye. On more than one occasion they were at it tooth and nail against each other.Judge Caldwell, all that may be said against him co the contrary*in Llie county in pnr-Sanvj, whether he is or is not. has lone been considered a protegee of itfr* Lvon's.The ,,re;ruiarity,T of the various;1 -■ *principle:’ in this drama has secin- t cd co jA:\y little par: in determ in- • ing their political standing.

Probably they are si ill rig- : uring of the time when all voted the parly licke: regardless mihor j Loan wiiii an eye lo the last few j elections when party lines meant I little. Anyway. Mr. Lyon cam- j paig.ied openly for Herbert Hoov- ; er ogainst Al Smith and others in ( the limelight of county Democratic . circles have been known to he oft* j the party reservation without suf- \ foring serious mishaps.Following the falling1 tween Judge Caldwell and Senator Todcl the latter had a hill passed abolishing the county judgeship, and providing for a couniy chair- : man to bo named by the county itself. Senator Todd fell down then or he could have provided in his, bill that the chairman must be member of the court. He did not| do this and themystery hill which was withdrawn doubtless lo be re-written in some particular, to create a county i judge for Sullivan county, among other things, the very thing they had abolished two years ago. As this v/ouiu be considered a new office they could name the recipient in the bill which they did, naming W. D. Lyon of Bluff City, to serve until the acxi regular election.Dr. Johnston Goes To Trustee Meetout be-Rev. T. P. Johnston, chairman of the board of trustees of King College, left here this morning for Morristown where he will attenda meetinK oC. the board today to hear recommendations for the appointment of a new president and other details concerning the college.Although no definite information was advanced it is expected the trustees also will take action on the proposal to appoint W.

Kingsport was not as large then as it is now and it may be that Mr. Lyon was right and we were wrong, Anyway, a measure was finally passed to have the county highway commissioner elected by the people rather than by the county court and Mr. Lyon went into the discard.Now, according to the state constitution, a county official can only be elected m one of two ways —cither by the county courL or by ; a vote of the people of Lhc coun- : ty.

One reason this has been the weakness of Lhc Republican organization in the county and its lack of leadership. The Republicans never seemed to be good soJdLers and would not unitedly follow the leadership they had, As a result Republican county office holders can be numbered On the fingers of one hand in the last lo years.Following several unsuccessful campaigns for public office.
