A "Cavern" Discovery
Being Made in Johnson
There is, as many of our people
know, a spring near the Grant home
on upper Roans Creek, in Johnson
county, Teitn., known as "Fish
Spring," out of which older people
of the community say, before and
since the civil war, myriads of cave
lish. at a certain season of the year,
came out and followed the spring
branch to Roan Creek. An elderly
gentleman of that section was heard
to relate this some weeks ago by the
editor of this paper. Those were the
days of iron forges, when a tilt hammer
was used to draw out the bars
when the heated metal was taken
from the furnace. It required quite
a number of men to operate a primitive
iron plant, one of which
was located near 'he Fish Spring, a
watering place for the laborers. The
yowoer of the forge found th-,i in
^ many instances, the workmen, after
slaking their thirst, which was rather
often?forging was very hot work
?they would lose time catching fish
or watching them emerge from the
earth, making their way to freedom
in the then sparkling waters of the
historic creek. Accordingly, in order
to stop this profligacy of time, he
ordered that a lot of cinder from
the forge be hauled and poured into
the bow' of the spring, which was
done. The water continued to flow,
but never afterward was a fish known
"to come out of the spring.
When a boy this scribe was very
much interested in this story and,
he, with a cousin, Mr. Sam Rhea who
also had an ambition to explore what
we believed to be a great subterranean
cavern, set about to investigate.
At the foot of the great limestone
mountain and not so far from the
spring, jutted out between two great
boulders a miniature lake of considerable
depth. Young Rhea, the real
explorer, made for himself a small
boat and with paddles in hand, started
oil his voyage. But 10, wherj he
had gone only a short distance, his
lakelet contracted and there his first
hopes failed him. The would-be discover
knew of a hole on top of the
mountain several hundred feet above.
We had rolled (treat, stones into it,
and listened to their bounding- from
side to side, until at last they made
a clear drop to the depths below.
Jn after years, large atones, and even
\ rails and logs were chunked into the
yawning hole, until it was choked
some distance down, being explored
later on by Bruce, now Dr. Rhea,
tie '?VCr,t dov.T. en ? winiilass far, far
below the surface, but was unable to
pass the obstruction.
But back to the story. The State
Highway Commission of Tennessee
! got permission from Dr. Rhea to set
a heavy rock crusher at the foot of
the limestone cliff to provide rock
for the surfacing of the road. Thej
machinery had not been in place
long ere the steam drills bad cut I
their way deep into ihe solid limestone
and the further they cut the!
tr.ore convinced were they that a
cavern was just ahead. Ail summer'
they have pounded away, finding
sometimes a hole in which was found
weil defined stalactites and in one
instance the workers found the heavy
bones of some animal 24 feet
below the surface and about the
some distance back in the cliff. The
week before last a heavy shot was
put in and it was decided that Sam
Rhea and Bob Rivers were prophets
a half century ago when they said,
' "There 33 a cave and a lake it there!
if they can only be located." The
last shots revealed an opening of]
considerable site with heavy iime
formations hanging from the arch!
above, and among them some of as
pretty specimens as have been taken
from the world-famed caverns of thei
Valley of Virginia. There are leads
off in the bottom of the hole, that
it seems from the top. a man could
easily walk into, but the powder had
so shivered the stone that to go down
a* before more work is done, seemed
" too hazardous for any mar. to take
the chance of making explorations..
Yes, it seems that ere many more
days work have been done, a cavern
of resplendent beauty and a real
lake teeming with fishe^ will be revealed
to the human eyes-Its progress
is being watched with great interest
bv manv neonle. It is orilv 2ft miles
from Bwiic, right pp. jngftway.
WORK BEGINS ON ROARING
GAP-DOUGHTON HIGHWAY
A big force of workmen began
Monday on the construction of the
new highway up the mountain between
Doughton and Roaring Gap,
under the supervision of the state
highway commission. The rebuilt
higbwsv will be completed in five
months, officials say uud when cotiiT
pleted, will make it ond of the finest
highways in the whole state system.
The road will be 30 / feet wi Ie on
the curves and will average 24 feet
in width. The embankments have
all been cleared of tVees and obstacles
and drivers wijt have perfect
risibility on the newt road so they
may see approaching machines at ah
* , Tribaiie.

Washington, Sept. 22?Basing its

market conditions of the next year,
the interstate early potato committee
in a statement urges growers ir.
live Atlantic seaboard states to increase
their potato acreage so as to
produce a crop about 2,000 tars
i greater than that, of this season.
This increase would make the toJ
tal crop from this region total about
j SO,000 bars The committee, comi

ficials of the various states and the
I rlinvtvlmowf r.f -----

i mend that Florida throwers increase
j their acreage to a total of 28,000

I of potatoes as compared with 5,000
j cars this year.
j The recommended increase for
I South Catoiina was from 12;000
j acres this year to 15,000 so the
! state will have ahoufc 4,000 cars for
shipment
North Carolina growers were
urged to increase from 30,000 ncr^s
this year to 35,000 next year in order
to ship between 6.500 and 7,000
cars
Growers of the Norfolk area were
j advised to plant 12,000 acres as com|
pared to 10,000 this year in order to
? produce about 3.000 cars. Decrease
in acreage was recommended for the
\ eastern shore of Virginia from the
I 67,000 acres this year to 56,000
i acres, so as to produce about 15,400
j cars. Maryland growers were urged

Iln advising the decrease in Virginia
acreage, the committee pre5
dieted thsi territory will meet with
