ChaS. SWaffOrd Arrested.

Sheriff Ferguson, of Bledsoe county,
and Sheriff James S. Frazier, of Rhea
county, yesterday brought to this city
and lodged in the county Jail Charles
Swofford, who escaped from the Day
ton Jail August 80, and was captured
at Hobart, Okla, ten days since.
Swofford, though only II years of age,
has an unusually bloody record to his
credit for one so young in years, as he
was charged with having killed his
uncle, Bill Toilet, in Sequatchie Val
ley, little over year ago. However
he was acquitted of this, but last sum
mer was arrested again charged with
the murder of Jew peddler near Day
ton. He was confined in the Dayton
Jail but made his escape August 20,
and could not be located until he wa,
arrested in Hobart little over weel
ago. He was left in the Hamilton
county Jail for safe keeping, the au
thorities not considering the Daytor
Jail strong enough TO hold him. His
trial will he held at the next term O

her own.
Now, as to dividing up. We Social
lists are Socialists because we are opA
posed to dividing up. l, for one, an
very tired of earning an average
two thousand four hundred and ffts&
dollars per year and having drones whi
do nothing, get two thousand and four
teen dollars out Of what l earn, while
I have to take all average of $436 mere
ly for an annual existence. Now, the
Socialists want the means of life and
tools of production so that men can
live and have plenty to feed the body
and clothe and shelter it, with time
and opportunity for development, but
rs to private property, such as house
hold goods, carriages. buggies, autos,
horses or cows, they are to be as they
are today, for private use, your indi-
vidual property. So, you see readers,
your "Uncle Cid did not know what
he was talking about when he was
talking of dividing up. He simply
knows nothing about Socialism and as
sumes too much by reading capitalistic
papers, which are unfair toward Soci-
alism. After the Socialists take hold
of the government they will pass law
that he who won't work don't eat.
providing he is hale and hearty, but if
he is crippled, diseased or of old age
he will be pensioned, but "Uncle Gid"
would make you believe the capitalist
earns all wealth.
Now, your freedom amounts to the
same your individuality does. The re-
cent strikes at Whitwell and Tracy
should prove to all workers that your
freedom lies in making profits for the
rich, and if you ask for higher wages
they use the courts, militia and regu-
lars to intimidate you. So beware OF
the leaven of your "Uncle Cid that
is capitalist chaff he is aiming tt
feed your mind with.
Now, l will mention that under this
system a girls chance becomes less
and less because she goes out in com
petition with the man and fills posi-
tions from "a to $l5 per week which
men would otherwise fill from so tt
$40 per week, and as he is knocked
, out by his sisters competition how
can he marry without a salary?
; Uncle Gid's' talk is bosh.

LAND SALE
4 IS ENJOINED
Chancery Proceeding Institu-
A ted at Nashville.
TO PREVENT PURCHASE
OF HERBERT DOMAIN
Declares That the Legislature Of 1908
Was without Authority to Make Appro-
priatiOns for Purchase of Additional
Coal Lands After the Term of the
Legislature Expired.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 90
Injunction proceedings were institu-
ted In the chancery court of Davidson
county this morning by John D. Fletch-
er and Hayden A. Dodd prominent
Nashville coal dealers, in their own
behalf and in behalf of all other tax
payers in Tennessee, against State
Treasurer Reau e. Folk, State Comp
troller Frank Dibrell and Chief Clerk
to the Comptroller Chas. M. McCabe,
seeking to prevent an issuance or the
payment of any state warrant in pay
T for the Herbert Domain, the pur-
cd3s5 Of which for coal mine purposes
on the part of the state was recently
authorized by the board of prison com
missioners, the approval of the govern
or being now pending The injunc-
tion was granted by Chancellor Allison
and the papers served. The grounds on
which these proceedings have been in
stituted are that the legislature of 1903
was without authority to make appro-
priations for the purchase of addition
al coal lands, such appropriation to be
paid after the term of said legislature
expired.
The argument is advanced by some
that if the proposed purchase of the
Herbert Domain is constitutional as
claimed, lthen the issuance of bonds by
the state is unconstitutional, as is also
the Aaking fund and school fund acts
which are now in force.
The opinion was expressed by some
of those who discussed the matter that
the Southern Railway company was
behind the proceedings. The charge
was freely made about the hotel lob
bies that gentlemen known to be init
mately connected with the Southern
have recently been in the city trying
to disparage as much as possible the
wisdom of the Herbert Domain trade
and create the idea that this property
is not as rich in fine coal as generally
supposed. The Hill lands for Which
two members of the prison commission
voted several weeks ago. are located il
the territory of the former TENNESSEE
Central and present Southern Railway
and the Herbert Domain is nearer t.
the line of the Nashville, Chattanoog;
and st. Louis railway than to tn,
Southern This was charged to be tn,
main reason why the Southern wa
opposing the Kittel land purchase,
Mr.. Vim. D. Witherspoon, legal rep
resentative here of the Southern rail
way, was asked concerning the repor
that connected the name of the rail
road company he represents with tn
injunction proceedings, and said tina
if his company had anything to d
with the matter he did not know any
thing about it, and that if they wer
interested in the suit in any way, thi
would be the first instance when b
had not been advised concerning lega
proceedings taken by the Souther
here since his connection with the CON
pany.

INTERESTING VIEWS OF
SOUTHERN R'Y BRIDGE
All Piers Above Water Except
No. 3, for Which Foundation
Has Not Yet Been Secured.

W. A. Price, who is in charge of
an engine at the Southern Railway
Bridge, was in the city Sunday, and
brought some very fine views of the
work for our examination. A view
of the mine shows the massive machin-
cry which chews up the limerick and
mixes it with cement and water, pro-
ducing perfect substance for the
work of filling in the foundation,
which is an entirely different job from
the bridge work proper, which will be
done by another company A view OF
the entire work taken from the noun
tain on west side of river shows the
line of piers, reaching across the river,
and in the distance the east abutment
rising up As feet high. Then follows
view of the east abutment ITSELF a
solid mass of concrete, complete in
every way, ready for the grade to be
made to its cap. There is view of
and next to east abutment. Then
there is view of the pumping mach
inery pumping 10-inch stream of wa
ter and mud from the bottom of cais-
son No. 4, nearly midstream from the
east bank, while view taken from
the east bank is Just the reverse of the
picture from the west bank and shows
plainly what is lacking to complete
the job which may be summed up as
follows: All the work is completed
except the tops of Nos. 4 and 5, which
are to be finished later when work on
pier No. 3 is sufficiently advanced that
| the 3-yard carriers Of rock will pass
them without striking. At No. 3,
however, is located the interesting
portion of the job. When founda
tion for pier is put in six ten-foot
steel tubes are sunk inside a massive
caisson reaching to a depth of 40 t(
so feet or until rock is reached; an6
they are arranged in pairs parable
with the course of river. These tubei
must be sunk till bottom rock is reach
ed and are then filled with pure ce
ment, making perfect base. Th'
tubes are dredged out by massive dip
pers, which go down and extract thre'
yards at time and the operators have
had the misfortune to get a 81, 40'
dipper iammed in one of these tube
when it was down only 12 feet, and al
efforts to get it out so far have failed
divers being sent down to attach stou
steel grapples which were snapped lik
straws in the effort to pull it out
Another tube has also been sent dow
only part way as planned and all effort
to get it further have failed, but thi
will be remedied by driving row G
piling around its inner edge as thickl
as the piles can be placed. This is tn
proposition the foundation constructor
are up against, and it now rests entire
ly on the success of the work on pie
No. as to how soon foundation wor
= for the bridge will be finished.
Mr.. Price is valued employe, an
has worked at all departments of th
e work. In his opinion it will be som
{ considerable time after June l, 190'
. before the work will be done.

UNCLE GID'S LETTER.

ONN<~NS~N~~VS~SrSNNr~ ~~N<SNr>~NSSNe'~Ne~~S3
Well, everything seems to be looking
up continually. / think people do love
each other as some are getting married
"a mighty good sign that they are
hopeful of fine old times in Tracy CITY.
| am not like the preacher was at
the close of his conference year. In
preaching his farewell sermon he said,
81 fear you don't love me. You don't
love each other as none of you have
married this whole year, but neverthe-
less where I am going If any of you
come there l will give You a warm
welcome. l am to be chaplain of the
State prison"
AS long as people love each other
they will marry. When they don't no
weddings take place. Did you cores
pondents ever note how dull com
munity got when not wedding oc-
Cured in whole year? Love and
marriage are two of the greatest things
in the world. The idea of an old
bachelor or an old maid makes me
think of crab apples, not fit for any
thing They are annoying. They are
not brave. The men and women who
marry are brave heroes and heroines,
like Pat who gave description of a
wedding to Mrs. Pat, they do be
saying that wine, me dear, flowed like
water" Mrs. Pat-"Glory be! Who
the divil had wathered it2" Mrs. Pat
didn't like Pats description. Now,
young folks, if each of you could reach
out and grasp hands and feel the thrill
of companionship and understand sym
pathy, there would never be an ole
bachelor or an old maid.
What had you old bachelors and
maids to be thankful for last Thanks
giving day? Were you proud you were
a sponge on society, dead wall fowel
that had lost it's fragrance? Of course
you didn't aim to live single but il
cowardice you couldn't overcome ant
then you thought of some unhapp.
homes that made you still create
coward. Then you thought of Johl
and his urchins, barefooted and rag
ged, and you turned your back on al
that is calculated to inspire you to b
something and somebody. You didn'
have the nerve and energy to do you
part to your God and country. That
it in nutshell;~ like the negro VIII
thought he had married woman wit
some money. After the marriage an
while the guests were enjoying them
selves to the sweet strains of music, h
wanted to know of his wife how muc
money she had. "A dollar" she said
