NO PATTERSON

TEMPERANCE LEADERS or THE
STATE ARE OPPOSED TO
THE GOVERNOR.
MAKE APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE
Anti-saIoon League Confident That
jug vSte win Not be
Sustained.

II there were any supporters Of
Gov. Patterson among the visitors and
delegates who attended the sessions
of the state convention Of the Tennes-
nessee Anti-SaIoon League at Chat
tanooga last week. they were not In
evidence. Frank D. Lander, a mem
Der OF the executive committee Of the
league. returned Saturday from the
convention. He stated that it looked
like everybody was for Carmack. So
far as could be seen Patterson was
without any following among the tenn
perance advocates Of the State. This
condition is due to the failure OF the
Governor to stand true to the tenn
perance cause.
Mr.. Lander not only was familiar
with the sentiment Of the members of
the convention, but he interviewed
great many people in Chattanooga and
he did not find any Patterson support
ers. The enthusiasm of the delegates
was marked when any criticism OF the
Governors record was made. This
was especially true, said Mr.. Lander,
when that portion of the resolutions
touching the veto of the anti-jug law,
was presented to the convention.
The reading of this portion of the
resolutions, land because of the great
necessity for such legislation, and be-
cause the people have by petition 80
loudly called for it, we condemn the
official act which denied them what
they demanded and what they had
right to have, and confidently appeal
our cause from that veto message
back again to the people" was the
signal for the most enthusiastic
demonstration of the meeting; show
ing the determination of the organize
ton to re-enact this legislation, and
their faith in their cause before the
people. =.

SALOONS CLOSE
ON HALLOWEEN
KNOXVILLE WILL BID FAREWELL
TO KING BOOZE IN A
FEW DAYS.
Churches Will Hold Special Thanks
giving Services to
Celebrate.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 26.-Hal-
'loween night in Knoxville promises
to be one long farewell spree of those
who pull the bottle, and grand jubi-
lation of the prohibitionists.
On March IL the people of Knox
vile voted for a dry city under the
operation of the Pendleton law, with
the abolition of the saloon effective on
Nov. /. Since the supreme court has
affirmed the constitutionality of this
act, there seems no recourse left to
the whisky people but to silently fold
their tents and steal away. There is
some talk in the city that some sort
of an injunction will be sought by the
wet element, asking for a stay OF time
until they can get the matter into the
United States courts. Notwithstand-
ing such hints, nearly all of the lead
ing whisky people of Knoxville are
closing out and preparing to shake the
dust of the city from their feet.
There are now lis saloons and four
breweries in Knoxville at present do
ing a thriving business. The booze
has flowed freely in the city for at
least hundred years. Then the tenn
perance movement came and swept
the city clean. Prohibitionists de-
clared that the $3,OOOOOO spent an
nually in groggeries could be utilized
for legitimate and permanent improve
ments in the city that would acceler-
ate enormously the financial, indus
trial, moral and business growth. Ano
they won out on this argument. The
lid will be on tight beginning Nov. l.
The booze grafters will bid FOND
and regretful farewell to the reign OF
King Bacchus on Halloween. Saloons
in all probability will dispense their
stock with lavish hand and the pup
lie will drink on the bartender In
sorrowful rumination Of the tomor'
rows to come-with no eyeopener'
either
The police of Knoxville and sheriff
men expect to have the time OF tneir
lives on Halloween. And the inepriste
who accumulates enough to have
Hangover" after eluding the over
worked police force, will encounter
mighty tired bunch of bluecoats ano
star" men on Nov. !.
While the vets wind up IN ont
long carousal, prohibitionists anc
churches throughout the city viii hoie
an earnest prayer service, with songs
of deliverance from the Demon Rum
+, Church bells will ring out 1oyousi'
freedom from drinks thraldom, WINE
factory whistles will toot shriekin'
accompaniment.

SOIL SURVEY
IN TENNESSEE.
CONGRESSMAN HULL TRYING TO
INTEREST STATE AND FED
ERAL AUTHORITIES.
Would Be OF Great Benefit To
The Agricultural In
terests.

Congressman Cordell Hull is at
work on a proposition which promises
much to Tennessee and its agricul-
tural interests. 1t is a soil survey or
the entire state, which will cost APP
proximately 100000, one-half or
which sum is to be borne by the state
and one-half by the bureau OF soils
department of the federal government.
Mr.. Hull is enthusiastic over the
proposition and hopes to secure from
the next legislature an appropriation
sufficient to start the work. BY enter
ing into an agreement with the federal
government Tennessee can procure a
survey of her entire soil within the
next three or four years, which will
mean much, not onl yto the education
of the farmers throughout the state,
but a great deal for the advertisement
of the states agricultural resources
and possibilities.
The proposition, briefly stated, 10
this: That if Tennessee viii set aside
a sum of 100000 year to defray the
expenses of thes urvey the govern
ment will set aside like amount, and
in this way make possible that which
means so much to the state and It's
farmers. --Tennessean.

second half as fresh as at the begin
ming Of the game. Mooney had evi-
IDENTIFY been given some good advice
during the rest. for they had loss their
spirit of confidence and had replaced
it with determination 70 win. For
time 1t looked as II @. NJ. A. would
score. but they finally lost the ball in
their own territory and from that
point Mooney carried it over for a
touchdown, the honor going to Lyons.
Money kicked goal and the score was
6 to 0 in their favor
The ball was put back in play and
was quickly in the hands OF G. M. A.
There was only ten minutes left for
play, but that was SUFFICIENT. Neal
was sent around end for twenty yards,
forward pass pass from Fry to Black
gave another fifteen yards gain, ten
yard line buck by Neal and two good
line bucks by Sowell, and the ball was
on MONEYS one-yard line and it was
| first down 1t was only moment
then till Fry went over the packed and
barricaded line and the score was to
5, in favor of Mooney Pandemonium
reigned Up and down the field and
| side lines the rooters ran and leaped
and yelled. Some of them tore of
their coats and some Rugged strangers
as if they had found long lost brothers.
The touchdown had been made at the
extreme edge of the field and it was
necessary to kick the ball in before a
position could be gained to kick goal.
This was a failure and the score re-
NAMED as stated.
Again the ball was put in play.
Mooney made some good gains through
line and for a time 1t looked as II
they would make another touchdown.
They were penalized, however, for
hurdling the line and for off-side plays
and at last C. M. A. carried the ball
ont IF danger. 1t was at this poin-
that Coach Anderson of the visitors,
was made to leave the side lines and
take his seat back among the specta-
tors for calling signals from the side
lines Anderson went in the game as
time keeper, but while acting as an
official was coaching his team An
other time-keeper was substituted. ana
then It was that Anderson having
Harmed in some way the signals or
the cadets would call to his team
what play to expect. He was mghty
mad when the officials ordered an
! from the side lines an dclalme they
were trying to- rob him etc.. Dut
when he was confronted with the
choice Of behaving himself or leaving
tho grounds. he subsidized. 1t was
nearly the end of the game by now,
and while every effort was made by
both teams to gain further advantage,
the whistle blew with the ball again
in MONEYS territory.
:. OF course the cadets went wild ana
rushed upon the field. The players
were lifted to the shoulders OF tne
other men and carried from the field.
Everv man on the team had covered
himself with glory. and there were no
criticisms, but sowell had done the
heavy work and played the game OF
his life. while Neal, Fry, Hamilton,
Rlack and Means deserve special
mention. So we'll pleased were the

Have instruction Car.

The newest attempt to increase the
efficiency of a railroad working force
and diminish thereby the fatality lists,
which have been growing from year
to year with the reduction of running
time, is the travelling instruction car,
now in operation on the Union Pacific
railroad.
Instead Of being equipped with
states and blackboard to facilitate
their work in imparting information,
the Union Pacifics corps of travelling
schoolmasters have sets of air brakes,
signal apparatus and all the compli-
Gated machinery which goes to make
up the operating end of a great rail
way system A two months cam

ried on a wheel, during which 5000
employees, scattered over almost 5000
miles. of territory, will be required to
undergo examination as to their eff

to insure a uniform understanding of
them by trainmen, conductors, engi-

with seats and has raised platform

CHRISTMAS AT ,,NONANGAH
Continued from page ~

giving, widows at Christmas. All
me- the heart must be hard indeed
that does not thrill with sorrow over
such widespread woe One ought
to be thankful when these anniver-
saries find us safe, with no fresh
sorrow to contend with, and in no
dread Of that which is worse than
death-disgrace. How many have
gone down in the financial and NOR
al world; how many to felon's celly
how many to a suicides grave since
last the holly wreaths were twined
Even the angels must weep over the
innocent lives that are darkened by
the shadows cast over them from the
sins and errors of others.
Several weeks ago two bank pres
idents in New York City committed
suicide after they had wasted the
money that represented the life
work of hundreds of toiling men and
women. For years these men and
their families have been living in
grand style, spending lavishly the
money that belonged to others, falsi-
flying accounts and deceiving those
who trusted them. Then the crash
came, and that meant a suicides
grave or felon's cell for the bank
wrecker, and loss of home, fire and
food to hundreds who trusted their
hard-earned money to the care of
these men. The dishonesty of one
man may leave a long trail of desc
lation and death The sad suicide
of Mrs. Bloodgood, the actress, fol
lowed on the loss of her fortune
through Barney, the bank wrecker
and her fate was but one among
many. Honesty is best, both fol
this world and the next.
But while we are talking about
Christmas we will mention one good
thing that comes from Chicago. A
woman's club there has started a
crusade against Christmas gifts
that is, to eliminate the indiscrim-
mate or forced giving, and the shop
ping mania attendant upon it. The
little ones must be remembered, and
the poor should be, but put the ban
of public opinion on forced CIV
ing.
