Big Money for
Dairy Cattle

1t is a fact that may not be generally
known that the Tennessee state fair Of
fers more money in premiums for Jer-
seys than any other fair in the world.
Tennessee has long been known as the
home of the Jersey, and at the 1907
state fair, both the grand champion
bull and the grand champion COW of
the United States were shown. So
profitable are Jerseys in Tennessee
and so kindly do they take to the eli
mate that this state has been able to
outstrip all others in fine animals of
this breed-and the very best Of stock
has been brought over from the island
of Jersey to infuse new blood.
However, the Jerseys will not be the
only dairy cattle represented at the
Tennessee state fair by long odds. The
1907 exhibition of dairy herds included
some splendid representatives of all
leading breeds-Holsteins, Guernseys,
Brown Swiss and others. This year il
is expected that the cattle exhibited
will be even more representative of the
best herds of the state.

MAJ. W. A. HAWKINS BUILT
A Monument to His Mem
ory Down Blue Ridge
for the c., c. & 0.

Maj. VIM. A. Hankins, whose sudden
death was noted in our last issue, was
chief locating engineer for the c., @, &
o., and as such built monument to
his memory in the line constructed on
the south side of the Blue Ridge noun
tain.
Major Hankins joined the Carolina,
Clinchtield e Ohio railway in June,
1905, as principal locating engineer.
AT that time, after months of careful
surveys, what was considered to be a
satisfactory line had been obtained
tanned over the Blue Ridge, section
that had been pronounced by expert
enced engineers as almost impossible
on account of its rugged slopes. With
in few months Major Hankins had
succeeded in so revising the line over
the mountain ridge that not only was
the sharpness of the curves greatly re-
duced, but the actual cost of the line
finally obtained was hundreds of thou.
sands of dollars lessened, 1t can be
safely stated that the developments, or
loop construction, of the Carolina,
Clinchfield & Ohio railway down the
southern slope of the Blue Ridge is a
piece of location work without equal
in the United States.
Further evidences OF his wonderful
foresight as locating engineer can be
found in the line south of and supple
menting the Blue Ridge development.
The original line, after surmounting a
long adverse grade, was planned to
pass a a, ,000-foot tunnel situated in a
broad low saddle of the ridge, in which
construction difficulties would have
been met, due to the watery condition
of the surrounding country. The line
had been located by engineers of ex-
perience, after study extending over
four years.
Within week from the time Major
Hankins examined this section of the
road, he advised that better line had
been found, this in spite of the fact
that he was working in a territory
practically unknown to him. In two
weeks the line that is now being con-
structed had been determined upon. 1t
eliminated the difficult tunnel work,
substituting for it tunnel only 1 100
feet long, in dry material. 1t also
shortened the line by five miles, reduc-
ing the cost by more than one-half of a
million dollars. His work on the won
derful line of the Carolina, Clnchfeld
& Ohio was enough to give him per-
manent place among the great locating
engineers.

PRIEST. JOHNSON The MAN.
A Personality That Sway
ed Insensibly the Men
Around Him.

The following is from William Fl.
Crooks "reminiscences of Andrew
Johnson in the White House" in the
September Century:
| had not been many days about the
white house before l began to change
my opinion of Andrew johnson. My
prejudices against him began to die
away. I grew to follow his directions
with alacrity and to welcome his rare
and laconic remarks. l was not alone
in this change; all of the employees be-
gan to feel his influence. He was o
man who, through association, swayed
insensibly the men who were with him.
| very soon began to realize that the
reports of his drinking to excess were,
like many other ISLANDERS, entirely with
out foundation. I will state here that
during the years he was in the white
house there never was any foundation
for it. Except in the time of his alb
sence in the autumn of 1865, l saw him
probably every day from the time of
my return until he left, and never
once saw him under the influence of
liquor. With regard to his life before
and after this period, of course | can
offer no direct testimony; but l have
heard the indignant denials of the men
who were associated with him. For my
part the record of his energetic and
forceful life would be proof enough for
me, even if | did not know from my
own observation. No man whose wits
were fuddled with alcohol could have
done what he did in Tennessee and
Washington. He drank, as did virtu-
ally most public men of the time, a no.
table exception being Mr.. Lincoln. The
white house cellars were we'll stocked
with wines and whiskies, which he Of
fered to his guests at dinner or lunch
con, but in my experience he never
drank to excess.
| learned another thing, too, and that
was that the president was destined to
conflict. He was man who found it
impossible to conciiate or temporize.
As uncompromising as the terms of his
speech, as straight as the challenge of
his eye, Andrew Johnson's opinions
and policies did not change. His goal
being ahead of him, and seen in clear
light, he neither saw nor considered
possible an indirect path to that goal.
1t was inevitable when other men were
going in opposite ways that there
should be collision.

Over Two Tons of
Honey at State Fair

Over two tons of honey will be shown
in the. Apiary department at the Ten
nessee state fair this fall. In addition
to this, all the latest appliances that
are used by bee fanciers will be display
ed. In wire cage, either Mr.. Leslie
Martin, of Lebanon, Tenn, or Mr.. r..
G.. Davis, of Spring City, will handle
colonies of live bees without any veil
or gloves or anything else to protect
their faces or hands. These men han
die the bees in just any old way, and
the layman expects to see them badly
"stung"-literally-but it doesn't hap

TennesSee's Crack
Shot Rifle Team.

Camp Perry, o., Aug. 23.-The pre-
liminary competitions in the national
rifle tournament are now over and the
shoot is up to the national team and
national individual matches.
Capt, Hyde, of the Tennessee team,
took second money in the Winchester
rapid fire contest.
The members of the Tennessee team
are improving every day and unless all
signs fail, will climb up several degrees
in the standing at the close of the COM
petition, although they will have to
"go some" for all the teams show i'm
provement this year.
All the teams are here now and were
up for practice Friday and Saturday,
each team being permitted to go thro'
the different ranges once. Sergeant
Simmerly, Of Hampton, a member of
the Tennessee team, made 40 out of a
possible so at 800 yards, falling down
one point on his final shot.
Members of the Tennessee team have
had many callers from members of
teams representing other states, many
of them former Tennesseans. Among
the number was Gen. Charles Hughes,
of Kansas, and Capt. Sam White, of
Oregon, who were classmates at the
University of Tennessee. Also Lieut..
Campbell, U. S. infantry, Lieut.. Win
ma, U. S. cavalry, and many other ma
tive Tennesseeans have called on us.
We also have with us Capt. Bookmiller
who will be remembered by many Ten
nesseans as being Gen. Bells chief of
staff during the maneuvers ct Manassas
In 1904.

GEN. JOHN 7. WILDER
Will Soon Retire from Bus

Gen. John T. Wilder spent Wednes-

ing for a residence and according to
the statement made to a Chattanooga

dealer, Gen. Wilder will move to this
city the first of the year if not in the
early part of the fall.
When Gen. Wilder comes back to this
city he will retire from the active busi-
ness world and live his remaining days
in quiet, unbothered with the rush OF
business. He was at one time presi-
dent of the Chamber of Commerce and
very valued citizen of Chattanooga.
