NOT MUCH OF A BREAK.
Socialist Disturba noes in ID. A. 49, Il.
of L., Didn't Amount TO Much.


The much talked of "break'' in d. A. 10,
of New York, said Mr.. j. ii. Martin, of the
general executive board, Knights uf Labor,
yesterday, was complete failure.
The trouble in that district was brewing
some time before the General Assembly met
here, but ii was not until after ad diournment
that IT took definite shape. The dissatisfied
delegates when they returned to New York
induced Master Workman Brewer, of d. A.
49, to call n special meeting. Having sue
ceedetl In this, they and their few socialistic
friends thought they had control. They
were mistaken. however for the secret got
out and General Master Workman Snver-
eign and one or two other prominent
members of the X. of l.. were on hand
The socialist element of ID. A, 10, how
ever, were not in the slightest dauutef,
but started the fight early and continued
it fiercely to the end. Instead of gaining
converts to their cause they lost heavily,
and when the final vote WAS taken. in com
parison with the strength of the assembly,
they could only muster a corporais guard.
OF the cighty-five or ninety locals of which
d. A 90. is composed, only eight or nine
would follow the socialist leaders, and those
few with badly broken ranks.
At the meeting of d. A. 40. held last
Saturday, over seventy locals were repre-
sented. This would gu to show that there
has not been much of a break in the
ranks.

The Three C'S Road.

The latest in relation to the above
road 10 the following, which we copy
from The Knoxville Journal.
1.-The Three C's road is to be complet-
ed. At a recent meeting of the stock
holders of the road it was decided to
float bonds sufficient to do the work.
Fifteen thousand dollars 10 the mile
was agreed upon. The Finance Com.
pany of Pennsylvania, located at Phila-
delphia, owner of the largest block will
float the bonds. .
The road is to be $3.50 miles in length.
OF that number 2l2 miles have been
built. 1t will run from Charleston, N.
c., to Ashland, on the Ohio River.
Work will be commenced in the fall.
The first work done outside of the ten
miles south from Unaka Springs will
be to build from johnson City north to
the coal fields.
The Three C's will penetrate the
richest country in the South. 1t fol-
lows water courses, runs through virgin
forests, the finest east of the Rocky
Mountains penetrates 100 miles of coal
fields in Kentucky, will open mineral
properties, extend through cotton fields,
and by the magnificent water courses
along the line opens to manufacturers
a great boon in economy. The cost of
completion will be from three to four
million dollars"

ANOTHER CONSCIENTIOUS LAW
YER

In the practice of law Abraham Lin
coin would never engage in a case that
required the defence of a wrongful act
OF the advocacy Of an unjust princi-
pie. No consideration, however al
Turing, could get the victory over his
better impulse and higher nature and
lead him into lines of procedure hurt
full to the public interests. He scorned
all such cases and had a profound con-
tempt for INSCRIPTIONS lawyers who
put them on their dockets. He was
faithful to the right as God inspired
him to see it.
Benjamin Harrison seems to be fash
ioning his professional life after this
rare, illustrious, Godlike example. He
recently refused to accept a retainer of
ten thousand dollars from the State
Liquor League of Indiana to contest
the constitutionality of the Nicholson
temperance law, remarking at the time
that it was a much needed enactment
for the preservation of public peace
n order and good citizenship forbid
him doing anything that would con-
tribute to its overthrow.
This brave devotion to principle, that
enabled Mr.. Harrison to easily thrust
aside a princely allurment which would
have led astray the many of his pro.
fession, is n of the many conspicuous
and noble characteristics that have
gained for him the confidence and ad-
miration of all good citizens. The

pie, can not be convinced that he, uu-
der any circumstances, would deviate
a hairs breadth from the line of duty
and right.
Happy would it be for this country,
for its welfare and advancement, if the
leading lights of the legal profession
were actuated by the same high mo.
tives, the same delicate and scrupulous
regard for good laws and good morals.
We would have far less of public and
private immortalities, of the crimes,
miseries and wrecks that follow in the
train of dissipation and drunkenness.

OF course, Peter Bust Her didn't

any of it, for they are all honorable
men, and their names are not to be
mentioned, even in suppressed whisper,
in connection with deeds done in closed
closets or at the midnight hour. Be-
sides, these gentlemen all have self
supporting families, own gold mines
and cattle ranches, and neither need

trust is a poor charitable institution
depending on aims for its sustenance,
it needed and wanted the money, and
if Peter Bust Her, the Saint, could be
the almoner of a gift so rich and de-
serving, he ought not to be too severely
censured for thus proceeding to proceed.

90 AND do

A lady in this county during the last
twelve months made considerably over
one hundred dollars out of her poultry,
butter and milk from two well kept
cows, beside keeping the family in gro
ceries and other needed supplies. She
didn't hide her money in n of the old
stockings, nor buy a silk dress, a seal
skin sack, a gold watch or an organ.
But she sent her two smart and charm
ing daughters to school, fed them well,
clothed them fashionably, bought their
books, paid their tuition and came out
with a ten dollar william. Her husband,
q good farmer in a small way, industri
GUS and economical, after paying his
taxes and farming expenses, and with
help from his wife, barely escaped the
wrong side of the balance sheet.
Right here is a practical, useful les
son for our agricultural friends. They
could learn it with great profit and
comfort to themselves. 1t would save
them the exhausting drudgeries they
now perform and that, too, without
adquate return. In this country there
is no money in wheat at less than one
dollar per bushel, corn and oats fifty
cents, and bacon fifteen cents a pound.
Then it is an exhausting tax on your
lands to raise these crops year after
year. You may use fertilizers copiously,
but every year you will take off more
than you will put on, thus instituting
a system of continuous impoverish
ment.
You will learn from the example
cited that it is the small neglected in
dustries that pay. Reduce your farm
crops to small areas and cultivate them
like you do your gardens. Ten acres
is an average Eastern farm, and an
Eastern farmer makes hundreds while
an average farAierin this country, with
the advantage of a long season and q
soil naturally more fertile, makes a
dollar. Sow your lands to grass and
let them rest and grow rich in plant
food. Depend upon the fat birds of the
poultry yard, the mellow gold of the
spring house and fruits of all kinds for
your table comforts and the surplus
that the inevitable rainy day" will
call for. You will not only have the
best of living but the best of health.
Having thus secured the comforts and
blessings of a true, sure enough civil,
i%zation, you can gaze upon bank off
cials-the uncrowned kings you now
so objectly serve-without fear and
trembling, and instead of begging ia
vors of money lending sharks which,
in the end are a two edged sword di.
viding asunder the body and soul and
the joints and marrow, he will be beg.

parlor and die.

ONLY 1926, 900 AT ONE DRAG

The penitentiary gang of marplots
and the combine of coal oil tasters have
not alone found Peter Bust Her a con-
venient and servicable de facto Gov
ernor. The school book trust also.
very easily brought him to its own
way of thinking and it got, with thanks
beside, everything it asked. And thus
it happened that il actually, not only
without hindrance but with all the
help needed, robbed the parents of the
school children of Tennessee of one
hundred and twenty five thousand dol.
lars. This vast sum is now in the
hands of this rotten, robbing trust, and
the school children are out just that
much.
Just think of it. At thirty dollars
per month and fifty scholars to a school
about the average of salary and at.
tendance, this enormous steal would
run over eight hundred and thirty
three schools for five months-the
average school term-with forty one
thousand, six hundred and fifty pupils.
