The Weather.

Il We have had two weeks of real winter
weather. Several days the temperature has
been below or near the freezing point, and ev.
cry night Ice has formed. Several days the
running streams about the village were
Hinged with ice, or completely covered In
some places.
In some few instances animals have been
frozen to death, and In many instances people
have suffered from cold. Tue low price OF cot
Ton and the general depression in business
having prevented their providing against the
cold by laying In full supply Of warm CLOTH
ling there has been considerable shivering.
We believe that nobody has suffered from
; the pangs of hunger. In this country, where
provisions are cheap, nearly every body can
get enough coarse food TO keep body and soul
together.
Nearly all work on the farms has been sus-
spended, except the cutting OF wood and the
making OF fires.

cn.nxe In a Ba.lne.. Firm.

By reference to our advertising columns II
will be seem that that old and ever reliable
firm OF White Brothers has been dissolved by
,he withdrawal OF NJ George White.
For quarter Of century this has heen
one OF the largest and best known business
houses In the upper part Of the State. Inner
iting the honest. straight forward, outspoRen
character for which their father was distin
gaisned, this, nrm has had the perfect conf
dence OF the public from the day Of It's organ
jzation.
Cant, Z. w. Whites knowledge OF goods
and his acquaintance with the needs and
wants OF this people, is not exceeded by any
body's familiarity with these subjects. de
aiways buya honest goods and he sells at uni
formerly fair prices. An appreciative public
has ever accorded very large trade TO this
flrm, and under the aole management o'
Cant. white IL will lose none OF its former
prestige.
Captain White ls strictly business man
never having bothered with politics, excep'
in 1915, when no man worked more zealousiy
than he did for white supremacy. Being
xtrtcLy q business man, he has given butlil
tie attention TO pol tics, and has made no ei
fort 10 run the town. But, being patrlotic AND
public spi pirited. he has never failed TO take d
leading part when work or money has been
needed. Whether railroads were to be built
or churches to be constructed, White Brothers
name, with big amount opposite, was al
ways found. Whatever tended " help Alb
beville for the last quarter Of century has
had the cordial and liberal support Of White
Brothers.
As we understand. Capt. l.. w. White suc'
ceeds TO the whole business which has hereto
lore been conducted by White Brothers. He
has assumed all liabilities OF the nrn, and
has become the sole owner Of all the property
which has previously been jointly owned by
L. w. and George White.
The retiring member OF the firm Mr.. George
White, Is no less dislinguished Tor integrit.
than his brother Capt L. w. White. He ha
the goodwill OF the people, and II he should
re-entsr business host OF good friends wil'
be found loyal TO him. Not having an oppor.
tunity 70 see him since we learned OF The dis
solution OF the partnership, we have no init
nation as TO his future Intentions. But ht

THE POWER OF THE PYTHON.
Apparently No Reason Why 1t Should
Ever Die,

There is some doubt whether the fixed
limit of growth in very large serpents
is known or can be determined. The
larger reptiles have no certain yearly
growth corresponding more or less
closely in different individuals of the
same species. The alligators at the Zoo
are an instance in point. They seem
able to cease growing or to grow ex-
tremely fast, or to remain without
growth, but never to die. A python
has less chances of accident than any
creature of similar bulk. 1t has no
limbs to break. Its skin is smooth
scales, never abraded or liable to dis
ease. Its powers of diges ton are prod
igious, and yet it can 60 without food
uninjured. No one knows how old
python lives to be, but there seems no
reason why, except from the common
law of nature, it should die at all. Every
one agrees that it lives to great age.
No one knows to what age. But it has
the power to continue growth far be-
yond the age at which the largest nam.
mails cease to grow, just as it has the
power to cease growth and then recon-
mence after years of arrested vitality,
there seems no reason to suppose that it
could not reach size and length as
much in excess of that of other carniv-
erous creatures as its length of life ex-
ceeds theirs. A python, four years old
when brought to the Zoo, measured II
feet. In tie next ten years it grew to
I'll feet in length, or an average of q
foot each year. This was decrease
OF nearly two thirds in longitudinal
growth in each of the two years after
the fourth, but the increase in bulk
probably accounted for the difference.
The warm waters of the enormous Am
azon, teeming with fish and animal
life, might we'll nurture acacondas of
such gigantic size as to justify the uni
versal belief of all the dwellers on its
waters that there is an enormous SER
pent, which they call the mai d'agoa,
the mother or spirit of the river, which
appears in che different parts of its
course, and grows to size far greater
even than that attributed to the ana.
condas whose reported dimensions are
recorded by European travellers so little
liable to exaggeration as the Natural
ist of the Amazon. London Spectator

The Pains OF Rheumatism

According to the best authorities, orig
mate in morbid condition of the blood.
Tactic acid, caused by the decomposi-
tion of the gelatinous and albuminous
tissues, circulates with the blood and
attacks the fibrous tissues, particularly
in the joints, and thus causes the local
manifestations of the disease. The
back and shoulders are the parts usual
ly affected by rheumatism, and the
joints at the knees, ankles, hips and
wrists are also sometimes attacked.
Thousands of people have found in
Hoods Sarsaparilla positive and per-
manent cure for rheumatism. 1t has
had remarkable success in curing the
most severe cases. The secret Of its
success lies in the fact that it attacks
at once the cause of the disease by neu-
tralizing the Tactic acid and purifying
the blood, as we'll as strengthening
every function of the body.

A Specimen Election Fraud.

Some of the Democratic tricksters in
the State are talking about frauds in
the East Tennessee election. The Jour
nal happens to know little history
concerning Haywood County that will
be interesting in this locality land every
word is true as gosple.
In the August election the Republi-
cans in some precincts decided not to
vote, as they knew that corrupt cleo
ton officers would count all their votes
for their opponent,just as they counted
out Sam Hawkins for Governor when
he was candidate against Bob Taylor.
About noon of the day of the election
one of the ostprominent Republicans
in the State of Tennessee, whose word
is as good as any mans on earth, re-
ceived word from the election judges
of one precinct, who had noticed that
no Republicans were voting, that they
would give their personal assurances to
him and other Republicans that if they
voted their votes should be counted
exactly as cast.
The first notice was disregarded and
a second and more pressing one was
received. Upon receipt of this the
leading Republican concluded that he
would get a few of his Republican
neighbors to vote and they did SO in
quite considerable numbers, first hav-
ing arranged ticket to vote. The bal
lots were cast and the Republicans lett
the polling precincts. The next day
the returns from that precinct were re-
turned, but not one for whom they
voted received one vote.
This is in the section from which the
loudest howls are coming of fraud in
East Tennessee. No more convincing
proof could be given of the customary
election frauds of that section where
an honest man can scarcely be honest
and hold an election.
This is only a specimen but others
are in the hands of the proper parties,
and when the time comes they will all

story at once to its most interesting

twenty of them-all good and wise,

of the most evenly interesting which
the editors have made. No magazine
is certainly better worth its price of ten
