Takes Stump.

Hon. Win D. Wright, of Knoxville,
for eight years United States District
Attorney for East Tennessee has taken
the stump in behalf of Dick Austin for
Congress in the Second district. He
spoke at Clinton few nights since to
packed house, and his arraignment
of Hale was bitter. He reviewed the
Sheriff Fox charge and said Hale was
a corrupt man and ought not to be in
Congress. He said the proof was that
Hale accepted $50 from Jim Fox and
could not deny it. He made a strong
appeal for Austin and was loudly
cheered. The court house was packed
and Gen. Wright logged Hale for two
hours. over 100 Hale men congrat u
lated Mr.. Wright and promised TO
support r. W. Austin. Chattanooga

A sinful state is spending state. A
man wasted his substance with riotous
living, devoured with harlots In a
little time he had spent all he had,
bought fine clothes, spent deal in
meat and drink, treated high, convers-
ed with those that helped him to make
an end of what he had in a little
while. Those that live riotously waste
what they have and will have great
deal to answer for. They spend that
upon their lusts which should be for
the necessary subsistence of themselves
and their families, but this is to be
applied spiritually. Wilful sinners
waste their patrimony for they miss
employ their thoughts and all the pow
ers of their soul. Misspend their
time and all their opportunities. do
not only bury but embezzle the talents
they are intrusted to trade with for
their Master honor and the gift of
providence which was intended to en-
able them to serve God and do good
with. The soul that is made drudge
either to the world or to the flesh
wastes its substance and lives riotously.
One sinner destroys much good The
good he destroys is valuable and is
none of his own. They are his Lord s
goods that he wastes, which must be
accounted for.
A sinful state is a wanting state.
When the man had spent all upon his
harlots they left him to seek such an
other prey and there arose a mighty
famine in that land. Everything was
scarce and dear and he began to be in
want. Wilful waste brings woefIl
want Riotous living in time, per-
| haps in little time, brings men to a
morsel of bread, especially when i'll
| times hasten on the consequences of
i'll husbandry, which good husbandry
would have provided for This repre-
sents the misery of sinners who have
| thrown away their own mercies, the
favor of God, their interest in Christ,
the striving of the spirit, the admoni
| tions of conscience. These they gave
away for the pleasure of sense and the
wealth of the world, and then are
ready to perish for want of them. Sin
ners want necessities for their souls
They have neither food nor raimenr
for them nor any provision for hereaf
ter. A sinful state is like land wher,
famine reigns mighty famine, fol
the heavens are as brass without th'
dews of God.

DECLINES TO

Brady Serves Notice on Oliver
that Lock and Dam Plant
is Rated Too High.

Anthony N. Brady will not purchase
the Lock q Dam plant ut the figures
given last week, and says the APP
praisement is too high for the invest
ment of company to complete the
lock and dam. Formal notice of this
was given Contractor w. j. Oliver at
Knoxville Tuesday morning, which
was earlier than an answer was ex-
pected, as Mr.. Brady had thirty days
in which to reply Mr.. Brady arrived
at his decision not to purchase plant
on the testimony of eight contractors,
who had examined the plant no one
of whom would undertake to assume
the liability for the plant under the
figures given
This places the matter back where it
was in the beginning.
Counsel for Mr. Brady say the work
will be pushed to completion regard
less of the present controversy, but as
Mr.. Brady will not give the sum asked
by Mr.. Oliver for the machinery and
supplies and they are already on the
grounds, it seems that we will have to
rest until the matter is settled in the
courts

An Appeal to the Voters of
Marion County.

Gentlemen; In all the history of
Tennessee, no legislature has been
elected on whom such important issues
depended, as will depend on the legis-
lature that will be elected in Tonnes
see the coming November Before that
body will come the question of passing
a law that will entirely prohibit the
sale and manufacture of liquor i'll
Tennessee.
Georgia and Alabama both passed
prohibitory laws during the past year.
Oklahoma entered the Union dry
state. 1t is as certain as anything in
the future can be that Mississippi will
pass prohibitory law at the next
meeting of her State Legislature.
Kentucky is moving for State Prohibi-
ton, Maine, North Dakota and Kansas
are dry. North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, the two Virginias, Florida, Lou
siana, Texas and Arkansas, and Mis-
souri, are following rapidly on, with
much more than half their territory
already under prohibitory law, and the
rest going dry as fast as the question
can be brought before the people. In
diana, Illinois, Ohio, and indeed, al
most every state in the United States
is moving in the same direction, with
large and rapidly increasing territory
in each, under prohibitory law.
In Tennessee liquor can now be re-
tailed only in the cities of Memphis,
and one of its suburbs, Nashville,
Chattanooga, and the mining town of
Lafollette. But the manufacture, and
the wholesale business is nowhere pro-
hibited We want to pass law or
laws that will outlaw the whole liquor
business when our next Legislature
meets. That nine-tenths of the people
in Tennessee are in favor of such a
law is evidenced by the fact that SC
large part of the territory of Tennes-
see is dry. And it is not fair, with
such an immense majority of our peo'
pie in favor of State Prohibition, that
Tennessee shall hnger longer in the
ranks of wet states.
And so we come to you in the name
of thousands of women belonging tt
the Womans Christian Temperance
Union of Tennessee, and in the name
of other thousands of wives and moth
ers whose boys are in danger, as Ions
as this iniquitous business is permit
ted in our state, and before candidates
begin to announce themselves for tn,
legislature, urging that you send nj
man to the legislature who is not il
hearty sympathy with such law.
We beg of you, when man announ
ces himself for the legislature from
your county, to look into his RECORD
and find out how he stands on this i'm
portant question. Talk with him Oh
the subject and find out if he is per
sonally in favor of State Prohibition
And, we beseech you, most earnestly
to vote only for men for these Office
who are honestly and heartily in favo
of law prohibiting the manufactur
and sale of liquor in Tennessee.

The ELECTION
DECLARED VOID
The Local Option Election at POCahOl-
las Last December is Declared
Void by Judge Henson.

On Tuesday, according to announce
ment, Judge w. J. Henson gave his de-
cision in the contest of the local option
election held at Pocahontas on the 10th
of December, 1908. 1t will be recalled
that the said election was held just two
days after the special Congressional
election to elect a successor to Colonel
Campbell Slemp. At the local option
election the 'drys" won by ten major
ity. The "wets" contested the elec-
tion for several reasons, but the only
substantial ground offered was that the
local option election was held in viola
tiOn of Sec. $50 of the Code of Vir-
ginia, which provides that no local op-
tion election shall be held within thirty
days of county, municipal, State OF
National election.
Counsel for the drys contended that
the statute did not embrace special
elections, and that the special election al
which c. B. Slemp was elected to Con.
gress was not a National election. The
courts consideration of the statute was
adverse to these contentious of the
''drys." The opinion of Judge Henson
is as follows:
That 1T Is mandatory statute, and
as such expressly prohibits local op-
ton election being held within thirty
days of such other elections, and that
its object is to prevent log rolling and
trading of votes; that this statute, ac-
cording to its letter. and spirit, applies
to both general and special elections,
and that the word national used in the
statute was equivalent to and meant
Federal and that the special Con-
gressional election was Federal cleo
ton"
This is the first case in which the
statute in question has been construed
by court. The result is quite disap-
pointment to the temperance people,
and is very gratifying to the "wets. -
There is no appeal from the decision Of
the circuit court, and, therefore, liquor
will continue TO be sold at Pocahontas,
unless it be voted out at another loca
option election.

Chicago, March 16.-United States
Judge Kenesaw Mountain Lands, who
startled the financial world by imposing
a fine of $29, 900. 900 upon the Standard
Oil Company for rebating, went to the
other extreme yesterday by fning an
offender cent.
The culprit was George S. Miller, q
workingman, who had tried in vain ia
collect a debt of 81 from DR.. w. S.
Wilkins, of 43Ol Cottage Grove avenue.
Finally Miller wrote to the doctor dur
on postal card and was not choice ir
the words he used. Wilkins, had him
arrested, but the doctor himself had ar
unpleasant quarter of an hour before
Judge Lands.
"The maximum penalty in this case, y
said Judge Lands, sis five years i'm
prisonment. Then, as Miller trem
bled, the Judge added, "but will fine
you l cent and you need not pay the
costs"
Miller paid the fine and walked out OF

OF Mrs. A. h. PettibCne-YiGtim of
Dire Plot TO Secure Her Valuable
Diamonds.
WOMAN WAS CAUGHT BY 4 DECOY
Letters TO Wife OF Former Congressman
Informed ter She Would Be Poisoned If
She Did Not Leave $1,000 in Black Bag
at Designated Place.

Bristol, Tenn, March I6. Mrs. A.
II. Pettibone, whose first husband was
Judge A. H. Trigg, and much of whose
life has been spent in Bristol, has just
recently been the central figure in big
sensation in the city of Nashville, where
she now resides.
For several days she was living in
dread that at any moment she might
become the victim of 1.-THE black hand, -
since she was in receipt of threatening
communications to the effect that if
she did not place 81, 900 in bag where
it could be taken in charge by the au-
thor of the letters, she would be pois-
oned.
For many years Mrs. Pettibone has
been the owner of number of very
brilliant diamonds, valued at from
So, 900 to SO, 600.
The author of the threatening letter,
who has just been caught by decoy,
and who proved to be young woman
of Nashville, had seen Mrs. Pettibone's
diamonds and knew that she would have
no trouble to realize a handsome sum
on them at a moments notice.
The young woman then conceived that
1t would be very easy matter to get
the $1,000, believing, no doubt, that
Mrs. Pettibone would surrender her
diamonds rather than live under the
dread of being poisoned or assassinated
at any moment
A special from Nashville gives the
following story of the affair:
Detectives for three weeks havebeen
working on a series of threating letters
| addressed to Mrs. A. H. Pettibone, wife
of Major Pettibone, former congressman
from the first distric and now agent of
the bureau of animal industry. The let
ter demaned that 81, 600 be left by Mrs.
Pettibone in black bag at 8 o'clock at
night near telephone pole or she would
be poisoned.
At the suggestion of the city detec-
tives decoy was set, black bag being
left near the spot indicated. Detectives
watching the locality saw young girl
pass and hesitate, directly going on to
a boarding house near Major Pettibone's g
boarding place
A week later another letter came, more
threating, but on the designated ngiht
downpour of rain made the watching
of the detectives in vain. FollowinE:a
third letter which demaned that Mrs.
Pettibone sell her diamonds to raise the
funds and the placing of the decoy,
detectives Friday night saw a young
woman accompanied by a child pick up
the black bag. She was taken in custody.
proving to be Miss Georgia Warren,
aged eighteen, stenographer for local
collection agency. Pressed for an ex-
PLANTATION, she said she owed money on
her tuition at a business college and had
hit on this means to raise funds. She
was released after signing a pledge
never to disturb the Pettibones again.
