H "V vi VOL. XXVIH. NO. 22 Senator E. E. Butler Passes Suddenly tit Found Dead in Bed at Mountain City | Home Tuesday Morning; Was Leader in East Tennessee I Senator E. E. Butler of Mountain! City* out* of the roost prominent citi.-l 2ens arid statesmen of oast Tennessee, J was found dead in bed at his homo j Tuesday morning. Mr. Butler wasj in his usual good health Monday, the editor of The Demucrat having been j hf in Mountain City on that day to see C him. II is death came as a great shuck fo his many friends throughout, this part of North Carolina; Mr. Butler had practiced law in the Tennessee court? lor the past thirtyfive years and controlled more of the general practice of his part of the state than any other man. He had represented his people in the state senate since 1911, and against overwhelming political odds, he nearly always succeeded in getting measures through the legislative mills that were of benefit to his people, regardless of political affiliations. A monument to Senator Butler is the link of roatl connecting Mountain City with the Boone Trail at the state line near Zionville. Only through his untiring efforts with the lawmakers at Nashville did this modern highway take the place o.f the ox-cart trail ef other years. Trip after trip did he make to his state capital, at his own e? pe::.-i and never discouraged. be j lived to see his dream rcaiised ? a; first class offict from dohhson coiai|lb ty '"to North Carolina. Although of diffcj-t : t political creeds?, the late senAtor numbered Governor Austin l'Vay as fun- o.f his closest pertimai ; M trittttis. S naior Butler decidedly was the] outstanding figure of his home town and Katiye county. A broad-minded ecui \v gor.tlolnan of Hu1 ol<! south is gone and his followers have been j cau.-'.'.j t?> mourn. Deceased whs a brother of Dr. W. | Uoy liiitler and uncle of Mrs. ,1. A.!
