There is more catarrh in this sec- tion of the country than all other dis eases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incur able. For a great many years doctors pronounced 1t local disease and pre- scribed local remedies, and by con- stantly failing to cure with local treat ment pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitu- tional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Ca tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the mar ket. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful.

JESSE JAMES. HONOR MAN
 He was boy with handicap
 But he won out.
 Jesse James, Jr., of Kansas City is a practicing attorney and stands high in his profession, though but recently ad mitted to the bar.
 He is self made in the highest sense
 His father was killed when the boy was six years of age. The ugly brand of the outlaws son was upon him. He made THAT SHAME A STEP PING STONE upon which to rise to higher things. When he was twelve years old he quit school of his own motion. He said he was old enough to work and support his mother.
 This was the boys way:
 He worked in a packing plant. He saved his money and opened cigar store. He wrote book defending his fathers name from unwarranted s]an- ders. The book sold we'll When he was twcnty-one years of age he had S10O ill bank and owned the neat cot tage in which he and his mother lived

PORT-OF-SPAIN, July 28.-Follow

ident Castro last May prohibiting the
dispatch of vessels from Venezuelan

President Castro has now issued a

DALLAS, July PA Weatherford
Tex, special to the News says: All

road Commission. last night to The
Tennessean political reporter
The announcement is a elimination
of political gossip that has been in
the air for several days, and is not
surprise to those who have watched
the course Of events recently.
II was known that Mr. Love was
strongly considering the question Of
making the race. and that his friends
were urging him to do it, His en-.
trance makes the contest for the
treasurership a three-cornered one,
and the scramble for legislative votes
between the present incumbent, Reau
E. Folk, Mr.. Love, the former Prison
Commissioner John S. Denton, prom.
Uses to be most interesting.
1t is too early to speculate on the
effect of Mr.. Loves candidacy on the
other two announced contestants, but
opinion seems to be divided as to the
influence it will have on the fortunes
of Messrs. Folk and Denton.
A prominent supporter of the pres.
ent treasurer said last night that in
his apinion Mr.. Folks nomination
and election is already assured, and
he expressed his belief that his favor
lite would receive more votes than
both his competitors put together
Mr.. Love belongs to the younger
generation of politicians, but he is
in state politics, as well
as in Tennessee journalism. He was
a member of the legislature from Rob-
ertson county in 1900, and for ten
years has been editor of the Spring
field News. For a number of years
he has been secretary of the Tennes-
see Railroad Commission, and was
chosen secretary of the recent demo-
cratic state convention held at the
Auditorium. He is well-known over
he state, and is popular with all who
Know him.

U. S. SECRET
SERVICE MEN
MAY BE SENT TO INVESTIGATE
BURNING OF |. c. DEPOTS
IN KENTUCKY.

| LOUISVILLE, KY, July 2S.-Secret
service men may be sent by the Uni.
ted States Government to run down
the night riders in Trigg county and
Caldwell counties who burned down
the depots at the Illinois Central Rail-
road Company. Those who are on the
inside and know what is going on
would not be surprised to hear that
from twenty-five to thirty Of these
secret service men were In Trigg
and Caldwell counties tomorrow, for
1t has been learned that the United
States Government has been request
ed to send detectives into those coun'
ties. BY whom the request was made
could not be ascertained.
1t was learned here last spring that
the State requested the Government
to send secret service men into the
State and endeavor to run down the
men who were sending intimidating
letters, but that the Governments re-
ply was that the postal authority did
not cover the case. The depot burn
ing incidents, however, are different
1t is thought, for the burning of the
depots caused delay OF trains and
possibly the prevention of the trains
from running at all which, of course,
would interfere with the United States
x,,ol1.
