Jesse l.. Rogers has announced
his candidacy for the republican
nomination for Congress in this Dis
trict. He is in the fight to win and
will make an active aggressive
campaign.
Mr.. Rogers is well known to the
republicans of the entire state. He
was elected by his native county of
Claiborne to the lower House of the
Legislature when he was 81 years
of age and was elected to the same
body in November, 1896 by his
adopted county of Knox and was
the leader of his party in that body
as was evidenced by his unanimous
election as chairman both of the Re-
publican House and joint caucus.
He was delegate from the first
congressional district to the Nation
al convention of 1880 in which he
was a worm supporter of Jamer G..
Blaine. He was a Mckinley dele
gate to the last National Repub-
lican convention and was secretary
of the Tennessee delegation. He
stands close to the present admins
tration and would have had strong
claims for Federal appointment
but declined to be an applicant for
any place and now enters the Con-
gressional race with strong support
He is well qualified for the position
and if elected will make an efficient
congressman,-Sevierville Vindica

Old people who require medicine
to regulate tie bowels and kidneys
will find the true remedy in

does not stimulate and contains no
whiskey nor other intoxicant, but
acts as tonic and alternative. 1t
acts mildly on the stomach and
qowels, adding strength and giving
tone to the organ, thereby aiding
Nature in the performance of the
functions. Electric Bitters is an
excellent appetizer and digestion.

Some young men are content TO
wear overalls and plow.shoes that
are paid for. They are apt to have
something laid up for old age.
There is another class that want to
wear the latest checkered shirt
front, patent leather shoes, and
tailor. made suits of the latest pat
tern, and a nasty cigarette in their
mouths, and they are not particular
whether they are paid for, except
the cigarette. The chances are that
these will tramp the country and
call the former selfish, bloated CAPT
talists, says a recent writer.

The government is now favorable
considering the question Of securing
to the system of reciprocity for en-
couraging our commercial relations
with Canada. 1t is known that Mr..
Kasson, who has been specially
charged with the arrangement OF
reciprocity plans under the new
tariff act is friendly to such course
of action. The last reciprocity
treaty which governed the relations
of the two countries were termi-
mated by act of Congr'Ss on the
assumption that the "cnttits were
not equally divided between them,
and that Canada had the adyan-
tage.

A Red.Hot Fight for Gibson's
Place in Congress.

A well-knoWn politicion of this
city stated to Times reporter last
night that the political pot was
literally boiling over in the Second
district, he having but recently
returned from that section.
ia. Greer, of Loudon Tenn, has
opened the campaign and is max
ing redhot race for congress. He
has made speeches already, and is
tearing up Congressman Gibson all
along the line. Mr.. Greer is bank
err, and is posing as the business
mems candidate.
1t seems that there is a hot fight
on between him and Congress man
Gibson for the following reasons;
Mr.. Greer managed the campaign
for Mr., Gibson when he was run
ming against John Houk, in a verv
, successful manner, as subsequent
results showed. MIR. Gibson pledged
and promised Mr.. Greer, after his
election, the relationship of East
Tennessee, but broke his pledges
most woefully, securing the Office of
collector Of internal revenue to Mr..
Tyler. Mr.. Greer's brother is private
secretary to Mr.. Gibson, but this
fact is not lettering Mr.. Greer from
making stiff fight for congress. In
fact, he stands better show than
any of the candidates.
Jesse L. Rodgers Cigarette Rodg-
ers), of Knoxville, is also running
for congress. He has lots of money
which he is spending right and left,
and is regarded by the other can.
didates as dangerous man in the
field.
Congressman Gibson, of the CORY
locks, is also making a stiff, though
somewhat uphill fight, for re-elec.
ton, but the chances are very much
against him and all in favor Of
Greer, with Rodgers for second
place. Chattanooga Times.

Bees Are Good to Mr.. Bullock.

For the past five years strange
swarm of bees-a different swarm each
season--has taken possession of GER
tain part Of Mr.. Il. /. Bullock's resi-
dence at Mohawkville, and made it's
honey there. A swarm comes every
spring. no one knows where from. and
finds that one particular section of the
space between the lathing and the
clapboards meets their views of what
hive should be, and they Immediate
ly proceed to lay in their winter $

of which the house is built possesses
any quality different in that place
from the same lumber in any other
part of the house. But the finer per-
ceptions of the bees certainly discover
something peculiarly suitable to their
purpose in exactly that spot. So they
enter in, and their buzzing and bum
bling makes the outer wall of one
room lively with sound all the summer
and autumn. Recently Mr.. Bullock
smoked out the Industrious little crea-
lures and scooped out nearly sixty
pounds of excellent honey. --Schcnec.

Traps aud Trapping.

The ways of trapping are as various
as the ingenuity of savage or civilized
man can devise. like best the traps
that one can make. They seem to
give the animal fairer show; they
develop our own constructive facul-
ties, and the nearer we can get to the
savage way the more fun it always is.
Steel traps have aeplace that wooden
traps can never fill; but give me some
thing that l can make with my own
hands, with the simplest tools, out of
whatever materials the spot affords
where the animal lives.
Of nil the animals in this country
there is none that affords less harmful
sport than the rabbit--more properly,
hare of which there are several spe.
o:es. Its wonderful powers OF increase
enable it to hold it's own, rs far too
many of our best and most valuable
animals do not. Furthermore, rab-
bits are very easily trapped. -s y
Everyone knows its little trail, as
broad rs ones hand, through the
bushes of broom, sedge, or its foot
prints as it hops over the clear SNOW.
Here, where the path goes under n
fence rail, it has stopped to knaw.
The rabbit follows this path in season
and out, though in the far north,
where the snow keeps piling and pill
ing up, its little road may change with
each successive snowfall. Trappers
there put out large number of snares,
setting them right in the middle OF
the path. Harper Round Table.
