house is practically empty and that expense is gone.
At the last term of the grand jury for the first
time in the history of Knox county, no indict-
nent was drawn for murder, while the record
fHr-1907 showed greater number of indict-
I ments for murder in Knox county than were
shown by all the grand juries of the states of
Colorado and Nevada combined for an entire
year, and they in the wild and wooly West"
Don't this look like Prohibition is a good in
vestrnent?
This does not take into account the great
economic question of commercial activity.
M. NJ Newcomer, of this city, one of the lead
ing dry goods men of East Tennessee, says:
Il expected my trade to fall off thirty-three
and one-third percent this year, which was based
on the financial situation calculated on last years
experiences, counting nc change whatever for
Prohibition but under Prohibition people who
never had any money before have become heavy
buyers; people whom | have seen almost as
mendicants have become purchasers. AS
suit this years business is within ten percent
of the 1907 business"
Mr. Varne1, manager of the Miller Brothers
dry goods store, says:
Under Prohibition I have seen more poor
people with money to spend for dry goods than
ever saw before. In spite of panics business
is quite up to what it in 1907, and I attribute
to the fact that the dry goods and other stores
are now getting the money the bar rooms once
got"
Even the stores that cater exclusively to the
rich say that more money is being spent and that
collections are easier than last year, even when
big railroad work was in progress
Before Prohibition the police had to patrol
the Cripple Creek" district in parties of three,
because police officer did not dare to go there
alone Murders were frequent and crime ran
riot. Now the go alone, day or night,
without fear On Saturday nights when former
ly the district was at its worst, it is now lone
some place. People who then inhabited it drank,
they spend their Saturday nights on Gay
street. the chief business street of the city, and
their money for necessities in place of for booze
and bad women.
Another point: The records show more real
estate transfers and at better prices and rents
are higher than they were year ago.

estimate of the quantities of RICE srup glucose

Dear Sir
Your inquiry concerning the fraction of the
grain crops of this country used in brewing and
distling has led to careful examination of the
subject The published facts are not sufficient
to form an answer that is in all respects salts
factory but they warrant approximations.
1t is necessary to give to the beer brewed in
1907 the same relative quantities of materials as
used in the Census year. In 1900, the
in 1907, 5S546,111 barrels.
In the brewing industry in 1907, the approx
innate consumption of barley was 6s0OO,OOO
bushels, or $50 percent of the crop of 1906;
of corn, 100000 bushels, CA percent Of the
crop; of hops, 56,OOO,O0O pounds, or s5s per-
cent of the crop.
Stated in similar form, the concias+o for the
distilling industry are these: 4,176O46 bushels
OF barley, 23 percent of the crop; 90, 474, 500
bushels of corn, O.S percent of the CROP IT,
301 bushels of OATS 6,25O89s bushels of rye, or
1877 percent of the crop; 81 ,452 bushels of wheat
Upon combining the brewing and distilling in
dustries, the approximate conclusions are that
i'll the fiscal year 1907 about 72,176,O46 bushels
of barley were used and that this quantity was
4G3 percent of the crop of 1906; about 36,474,-
500 bushels of corn, or 1.2 percent of the crop;
17,301 bushels of oats 625O,S9s bushels of rye
or 1877 percent of the crop 21,452 bushels of
wheat, and about 100000 pounds of hops, or
s5s percent of the crop.

WOOdmen sue Bank Receiver.

Des Moinss, Ia, July 15.-- The
Modern woodmen Of America filed
suit in the Federal Court here today
for s42o, 1855 40 against james a.
Jamison, receiver Of the First Nation

Murray Comptroller OF Currency for
the Uuited States Government.
The action grows out Of the insol-
vency Of the Charlton bank, caused
by the defalcation and suicide of
Flank R. Croker, its vice president.
As the Woodmen had $3.50, 900 cash
on deposit in the bank, they were al
lowed the amount at first, but the or
der to this effect was rescinded July

at Gracey was fred this car and two

Of safety by the night riders. The

Soldiers at COBB report that they
were suspicious last night that some
thing was up AID they maintained a
close watch all night but nothing
whatever transpired 10 their vicinity.
The FIRST they knew Of the raids was
seeing the light from the burning
depots in each direction A small
detachment Of soldiers left here this
morning al lI:30 o'clock but their
destination is secret. 1t It's presumed
they will stop at one Of the places
visited by the night riders.
The destruction of the depot leaves
only one such building between Hop.

Of thirty-one miles, aud this one i:
at Cobb, where soldiers are encamp
ed. So quietly did the night riders
work at Cerulean that visitors at the
hotel, which stands near the depot
did not know of their visit until the
alarm of fire was given. 1t was a
first supposed that the depot had beer
robbed and set on FIRE by thieves
The big hotel was endangered sew

MULE AFTER TRAIN
Three Months old Mule Follows
Train Train Niles Without
Harm.

Monday afternoon when one Of the
long freight trains on the l. &. rail
road left Wingo for Water Valley
and Fulton, a three months old mule
belonging to Alex Sa1en took out
after the train and followed it to
Water Valley.
The remarkable part - this story
is, that this young mule stuck with
the freight train and was only a short
distance behind it when I
reached Water Valley. THIS Is one
Of the most remarkable things that
ever took place on this railroad and
i, is said by people who have lived
here ever since the road was built
that nothing ever happened like it
before it.
The mule reached Water valley
without being hurt. -May6eld Mes
