The article by Judge W. III. Swig-
CART which is now laid before the peo-
pie is plain statement of the side Of
those who oppose adding the expense
of two more courts to the already
heavy load OF taxes our people are
now carrying. Judge Swiggart has
no axe to grind in this matter one way
or another, and is known by the peo-
pie of this county to be man who is
at all times and under all circum-
stances, conservative, yet frank and
candid. His position as Judge of the
Circuit Court for so years gives him
an opportunity to have personal knowl-
edge of the matters of which he speaks,
and his statements cannot be contro-
verted by any man in Obion County
We feel sure he has been rather too
as to the extra costs of
these two courts, and that actual fig
ures, from the records (Which we pro-
pose to furnish later ON will show

Among themany brilliant scenes
that the production of The Holy
City" presents, none is more sensa-
tionally superb than the one in which
Saloma the beautiful daughter of He
rodias, dances before King Herod and
h IS court. In diaphanous drapery ka-
rainbow rays, its folds rising and fall
ing above and around her nimble feet
like clouds caressed by summer
winds, bending and swaying in har-
monous motion to the enticing music
heard, the royal dancer floats like a
bubble on the palace terraces, he
witching the intoxicated King, who,
after first Offering half his kingdom,
finally yields to intrigue and grants
the head of John the Baptist as a re-
ward for senuous delight. Exquisite
as are the surroundings of this sit
uation is dramatic intensity is never
lost, thd conspiracy and its fatal
ending, hidden for moment by the
aluring beauty of the scene, burst
upon the senses of tragic acting
seldom witnessed on any stage. The

The organization, which comprises

book is by r. A. Bennett, who is re-
sponsinble for such successes as
"1492, oa"Evangelihe. :" Hfhe Girl From
Paris" "The 'Casiar" and other Whit.
ney successes. The music is by Z.
W. Corliss and II. L. Hearth They
have jointly made some very singable
songs, four of which at least will be
whistled on the streets. There is
nothing which in the slightest degree
might be classed as suggestive. The
comedy is real somedy and the Choir
uses are choral; the ladies who take
part in the spectacular affairs. which
are always part of the Whitney pro
auctions. are trained TO perfection.
Their marches and. counter-marches
are done with precision The come.

The scenery is magnificent. the cos

are maryels of the modiste's art. and
the electrical effects said to equal

OF CRIME
JAMES BLEE is FOUND GUILTY
OF KILLING HIS HALF
BROTHER.

Knoxville, Oct. 16.-After being out
all night the jury in the Failor murder
case returned a verdict Of manslaugh-
ter Sunday. James Blee was charg-
ed with numbering his half brother,
Henry Failor, at the latter's home near
Swan. The case was hard fought. A
new trial will probably be asked. II
the defense fails to secure one, they
will probably appeal to the supreme
court. The jury was segregated dur
ing the trial. Judge Applegate pre-
sided.
James Blee resided on a farm with
his mother all his life. The farm con-
sisted of forty acres, in which his
half brother held an interest, they liv-
ing on adjoining land. A little more
than year ago Blee was married
and took his bride to his mothers
home, the mother being very old and
enfeebled.
Trouble arose between the half
brothers over Blea crossing the land
of Failor. Blee and Failor had several
fights and were both carrying guns
for each other, Last February, Blee
with team and shot gun, went across
the farm of Failor and as he came out
! by the house and barn Failor met him
at the gate and forbade him entering
on the premises. Blee shot and in
stantly killed Failor.
| The son of Failor, lad of II
years, claimed to be near and to have
seen the act. He testified that the
shot was fred without provocation or
the part of Blee Blee pleaded self
defense and claimed that his hall
brother was reaching for his revolver
in his hip pocket when he shot.
