RED CROSS PHARMACY TEST.
Sold Hyomei for Years and Know It
Will Cure Catarrh.

The Red Cross Pharmacy has given
Hyomel "a most thorough and remark
able test. For long time they have
offered to refund the money to any
purchaser of Hyomei, if it failed to
benefit.
The remedy has made so many cures
among the Red Cross customers that
they have urged it's use in the most
chronic cases Of catarrh.
Breathed for few minutes four
times day, through the inhaler that
comes with every outfit, it soothes the
irritated mucous membrane of the
nose, throat and lungs, kills the ca
tarrhal germs. and restores complete
health. Its healing, anticeptic fra.
GRANGE penetrates to the most remote
air passages as no medicine taken into
the stomach can possibly do. Immedi-
ate relief almost always follows the
use of Hyomei, and great benefit is
seen after few days treatment.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
only 81 and consists of an inhaler that
can be carried in the pocket or purse,
and will last lifetime, a medicine
dropper and bottle of Hyomei. Ii
this is not sufficient for a complete
cure, additional bottles of Hyomei can
be obtained for so cents.
Compare this small expense with
the fees charged by specialists. and
remember, too, if Hyomei does not
cure the Red Cross Pharmacy will re-
turn your money.

on some occasions little optimistic
rather too much so to be support
ed by facts. On the other hand the
American seems inclined to devote
more space-a great deal more-to
the Carmack reports. We presume
this is merely incidental, but it is
rather suggestive.
A very hard fight is being made
against Taylor, and it seems that
some special interests are very
much concerned over the matter.
We do not know, but fear these
things are. overreaching in signifi-
canoe. For instance the criticism
which has been made against Gov.
Taylor's marital relations. The
truth of the matter no reasonable
man could expect Governor Taylor
to do otherwise than he did. When
a mans own flesh and blood-his
daug hter-is not welcome to his
home something is radically wrong,
and it was not her father who re-
fused her admittance. In that case
what could Governor Taylor do but
retire. He could not afford to leave
his daughter unprotected. He not
only acted wisely, but showed the
magnanimous spirit which has al
ways characterized his actions in
conveying to his wife the palatial
residence they occupied, beautiful
home valued at $4,000.
AS far as the morality of the rival
is concerned one has
very little advantage of the other in
his claim to sanity robes, and when
weighed in the balance Bob Tay-
lor's deeds for the & God of humanity
will many times cover his faults.

MAI. THOMAS DEAD.

The death OF Maj, John w. Thorn
as, president of the Nashville, Chat
tanooga and ST. Louis Railway,
caused profound grief throughout
the State. Maj. Thomas was ma
tive of Nashville and he was natu-
rally imbued with deep love for the
State of Tennessee. He began his
railroad career in subordinate po-
sition and rose by sheer merit to be
the president of fine railroad prop
erty. He took a keen interest in
everything looking towards the de-
velopment of the State and the N,
c. and st. l.. has under his able
management been an important fac
tor in exploiting our resources.
During the twenty odd years that
he has been president, he has gath
cred about him as able a corps of
railroad men as can be found in the
South. Some of them have grown
old in the service and all of them
will receive the news of his death
with feeling of personal sorrow.
When the Tennessee Centennial
was projected he was unanimously
agreed upon as the proper man for
president thereof. The success of
that interesting enterprise was
largely due to his sane and far-see-
ing management. He has for years
taken keen interest in the devel-
opnent of Monteagle, and has done
much in practical way to aid the
Chautauqua established there. He
lived to the ripe old age of IS, and
he dies universally respected and
esteemed. He has been in his day
one of the great Tennesseans whom
we can i'll afford to spare Com
mercial Appeal.

THE REPORTS.

Reading the special correspond
ence from different points sent to
the Nashville newspapers Cover
nor Taylor seems to be drawing
immense crowds and swaying ev-
erything before him, while the
friends of Carmack report him to
be making deep impressions and
gaining strength rapidly. Between
the lines we are forced to conclude
that Taylor is drawing the crowds
while the Carmack enthusiasts are
giving the Senator a patient and
attentive hearing The assertion
being made daily that Carmack is
gaining recruits from the Taylor
forces is in the first place an admis-
sion that he is sadly in need of
votes. 1t must, however, be ac-
cepted with grain of salt. The
only way to test this assertion is to
look about you and name single
friend or acquaintance who has
changed unreservedly from his po-
sition as an open advocate of Tay-
lor's candidacy to Carmacks sup
port. What is true of this county
may be taken as very good index
to political conditions in other parts
of the State. There is nothing
more definite to Judge by. We do
not undertake to say that these re-
ports are exaggerated, but we sus-
pect the correspondents have been

A TOMATO CANNERY.

Union City may not again be a
great manufacturing point, but
there is no question that cases will
arise which will require small enter.
prises of an agricultural character.
One OF these is already at hand.
The packers combine has almost
doubled the price of tomatoes and
the demand for this product has
created a very fine opening for a
canning factory i'll Union City. In
view of this Mr.. Craddock, of the
firm of Craddock & Maggie. Hum
boldt, was in the city Saturday and
was escorted over town through the
courtesy of Mr.. Burdick for the pur.
pose of enlisting the interest of
some Of our citizens in the enter
prise. A meeting was held with
few of the farmers present, and the
proposition was made that if the
farmers OF this section would util-
ize four hundred acres for the culti-
walton of tomatoes he would estab-
lish a canning factory in Union
City giving employment three or
four months IN the year to about
two hundred women and girls and
twenty-five men. One gentleman
present said that he would guaran-
tee fifty acres aud others present
agreed to go into the tomato grow
ing industry. Mr.. Craddock stated
that the growers would receive
eighteen cents per hushel for their
tomatoes and that this price would
net them at least fifty dollars an
acre. The gentlemen have no ia
vors to ask They want no bonus
nor tax exemptions. They are
simply offering our people bust
ness proposition.
1t occurs TO us that this is a very
opportune time to go into tomato
raising, if Mr.. Craddock is correct
in his theory about the profits of
the business. Canned tomatoes
which last year sold for eight cents
a can now sell for fifteen cents.
Isn't it reasonable to suppose the
price of the product will also net
the farmer more money. If he can
make not less than fifty dollars per
acre the prospects are very fine in
deed. If the farmers knew this to
be fact, there would be very little |
trouble IN securing the requisite
acreage. Anyway we believe this
is an excellent opportunity to do
little experimenting.
Mr.. Dahnke, OF the firm of Dahnke-
Walker Milling CO., lis more en-
thusiastic over the enterprise than
Mr.. Craddock. Mr.. Dahnke. how
ever, is better acquainted with local
conditions. He knows the produc-
ing qualities of Obion County lands.
He states that 0bion farmers raised |
on an average of five or SIX hum
bred bushels per acre when can
merry was in operation here some
years ago. He said that one farmer
made a crop of nine hundred BUSH
els to the acre. Taking these esti-
mates and figures into consider
alton and the source of our infor-
nation we are compelled to believe
that the tomato crop would be a
very profitable investment.
Taking Mr., Dahuke's figures a
conservative estimate would give
the farmer ninety dollars an acre
for his tomato crop.
Another meeting will be held Sat
urdav afternoon at the courthouse
and . large attendance of the farm
ers is desired. Remember you are
cordially invited to be present.

ENTITLED TO CUSTOM HOUSE.

paper men are reporting direct IN
formation from Postmaster Taylo
that the Union City postofice viii
stand in line after the first of Apri
for free delivery system. The re
ceipts required must be $4,000 4
year and IT is claimed that only I
small per cent of that is now lack
ing with about forty.fve days tC
run on. But these gentlemen seen
to neglect one other fact and thai
is that Union City will also be en-
TITLED to custom house. 1t was
our understanding some time age
that we were entitled to a govern
ment building. However, we might
have been misinformed or mistaken
in our information, as it is under
stood that the receipts have not
heretofore reached the required
amount. But let that pass. What
we want to say is that when post
offices have received annually the
sum of $4,000 they are entitled not
only to free delivery system, but
also to custom house. According
to the statement made the Union
City postofhce will reach this stage
the first of April.
There are large number of our
citizens interested in this affair and
when the time comes strong petit
ton will be made and filed with
Congressman Garrett for such
building Of course we will be glad
TO have the free delivery system,
but we want all that we are entitled
to. Union City cannot afford to
neglect these opportunities while
neighborlng towns are using all
their might and means for public
and private Improvements.
Another thing which will appear
patent to Postmaster Taylor and
the department officials is that
when a free delivery system has
been established the present post
Office building and facilities will be
wholly inadequate to handle the
business. The capacity of the I'm
ion City postoffice has already been
tested in handling the rural routes
in addition to the regular city BUSH
ness. New fixtures were put in
and yet the clerical force and the
building are tested to then. capacl-
ty.
The Commercial expects to urge
upon Congressman Garrett the me-
cessity of custom house ia Union
City. Other towns in the district
are fast approaching postal require
ments for a government building,
and if Union City stands aside and
loses her turn, which is first in line,

we have another chance and posi-
bly, the means of showing indiffer-
ence to enterprise and what is worse
still-it may practically lead to a
step while our neighbors
are pressing forward in the race
for commercial prestige. 1t may i
show us some day that we are
sleeping on our rights, but maybe {
not until others have passed us IN /
the contest.
The Commercial is and has al
ways stood for Union City's COM
nercial prosperity. We have our {
political opinions, but business first {
1as been our motto, and in keeping
with this we believe that the man
who looks to our commercial devel-
opment is doing his citizens and
friends greater service than dozen
men who are engrossed in the pc. !
iticsl aspirations of men and the
success of political measures.

DESPERATE MEN SOMETIMES LIE
Last Resort of Some of the Opponents
of the Lease of the Atlantic and
North Carolina Railroad.

The Evening Times has no desire
to add to the muddy waters which
have surrounded the Atlantic and
North Carolina railroad for these
many years, but one cowardly rumor
which has circulated from those who
~endeavOred by fair means and foul to
annul the lease made by the state de-
mands attntiOn. The plaintiffs and
h defendant agree to submit the
facts in the case to Judge Long for
a judicial ruling. He heard the argu-
mentS. examined the contract and
the law and he held that the instru-
ment was binding. The plaintiffs, who
brought suit on the funds of the tax
payers, have appealed to the supreme
court. which can hardly reverse the
opinion handed down by Judge Long
without reversing itself. Indeed, if it
should do that there is the assurance
that the federal courts will step in and
protect the rights Of the company
! which now controls the property and
the commonwealth which placed the
road under the management of a syn
dictate which has operated it as a bus
mess proposition and not as a poll
teal property.
But hat is not the point. Certain
! gentlemen who sorely grieve because
they are forced to pay freight bills
and passenger fares, have quoted
Judge Long as saying that while he
did decide that the lease was binding,
| because the law was there, he hoped
| that it would go to the supreme court
and that the higher tribunal would
set aside his verdict. If Judge Long
made any statement to that effect he
IS no credit to the bench and is not
fit to sit in judgment. We do not be-
lieve, however, that he said it. We
shall not believe it, and while no
credence is to be placed in such re-
ports it is just as well to publish and
brand them, inasmuch as they show
the animus Of the photographers and
the extremes to which they sometimes
go in an effort to prejudice the public
mind. 1t is hardly necessary for
Judge Long to enter a denial. The
people have the utmost confidence in
him. They believe in his honesty and
integrity and they will not be misled
by the silly utterances of men who
. would sacrifice everything for their
personal profit and gain. But they are
Observation-Disclosures because they can
O enjoy special privileges. They
would turn over heaven and earth to
break that lease. They would make
the state repudiate it's act and stultify
itself and drive capital away simply
to save freight bills and travel about
on free passes. They have been whip
ped by the law, and now thay come
forth and %insinuate that the presiding
judge did n thing when his juds'
ment prompted another. They have
spread this humor from town to town

GOOD FRIDAY NOT A HOLIDAY
Money Conditions Responsible for the
Usual Holiday Not Being Observed.

New York. April 13.-For the first
time in many years Good Friday was
not observed as a holiday in New York
today. All the city departments were
in operation and the stock exchange
was open for business as usual. In
both these instances money was re-
sponsible for the change in the city's
tradition. The city's corporation coun-
Gil having decided that department
heads had no power to allow per diem
men pay for time not actually occupied
in the city service, the laborers re-
quested that the usual holiday be
omitted. Their request was granted.
The governing board of the stock ex-
change decided not to suspend opera
tons for the day because of the un-
settled condition of the money mar
ket.
The produce. coffee and cotton ex-
changes were closed in recognition of
Good Friday, but the Consolidated
