LONG OROUTH IS
BROKEN AT LAST
HEAVY RAINS ARE REPORTED
FROM ALL SECTIONS OF
THE STATE.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 13.-Late
reports from all over the State re-
ceived at the Department of Agricul-
ture this week indicate that one OF
the longest and most disastrous
drouths in the history of the State
has been broken. AS result OF this
farmers have ceased to haul their
water, and are now busily engaged in
preparing their lands for wheat, the
rains having been of sufficient guam
tity to admit Of tilling the soil. In
fact. it is said that in the lowlands
along creeks and in bottoms water is
yet standing, making it impossible to
plough.
One of the best features of the re-
ports is that the rains Monday and
Tuesday were very general, not only
in Middle and West Tennessee, where
the drouth prevailed, but throughout
Kentucky and other States, where
conditions were serious. The rain
Monday night throughout the night
was a hard one, and Tuesdays inclem-
ency contributed its share to break
the dry spell. The effect is very OBJ
vious about Nashville, where fires
were raging last week, and where the
highways were so productive of dust
that travelling was most inconvenient.
The indications are that henceforward
there will be the usual amount of
rainfall. and that no further embar-
easements will be caused by drouths.

ty Superintendent of the Public

'Arbor Day. Accordingly, Wednes-
day, Nov. 25th is named as such day.
The purpose of this day is to improve
the material surroundings of the
schools. The day, in part, may be
spent in planting trees, shrubs and
vines, which should be accompanied
with appropriate ceremonies, or in
white washing the fences and build |
ms; or in making gravel walks or any
other improvement which the local
conditions may suggest.
''In order to aid in the campaign |
against the spread of tuberculosis and
other contagious diseases, the State
Superintendent, R. L. Jones, has set
aside Nov 25 as Public Health Day"
TO be held in conjunction with Arbor
Day. 1t is expected that each teach
or will invite some competent physi-
,ian to address the school and COM
nunity upon the dangers of contagious
diseases and the proper measures to
De taken to prevent their spread.
THE County Board of Education at
is meeting Nov. IA, voted to give to
he Public Schools of the county a
Holiday on Friday Nov. 81 in addition
o the legal holiday of Nov. 26.

HOLD ELECTION
In CUBA TODAY
WITH THE CHANCES SLIGHTLY
FAVORlNG THE LIBERAL
PARTY

HAVANA, Nov. 12.-At the close of
the Presidential campaign, which end
ed last night with a great Conserva-
tive demonstration in Havana, the
Conservative and Liberal leaders ex-
press themselves with the utmost con-
fidence as to the result. The election
probably will be very close, but indi-
cations are rather favorable to the
the success of the Liberals. Much,
however, depends upon the bringing
out of the vote which was not cast in
the elections in August, when only
269,132 ballots were deposited, as COM
pared with a registration of 451 SIT.
The Conservatives claim a greater
portion of this silent vote of $4,000,
that their partisans were de-
tered by intimidation from going to
the polls. While the Conservatives
carried some of the provinces in the
last election by pluralities, they had
in no place clear majority over the
combined vote of the Miguelistas and
zayistas, running behind by a total
vote of about $4,000.
A careful canvass made by the
Havana Post gives the Liberals Pinar
Del Pho, Havana and Oriente prov
noes which would mean a total of 62
votes, eight in excess Of the
lumber necessary for a choice. Santa
Clara and Camaguey provinces are
while Matanzas is Conserva-
i've.

MEMORIALS HELD

SOUNDED.
GAIL TO TEMPERANCE FORCES
Being Dead, Yet Speaketh," Senti-
meuI Dominating All OF the
Meetings

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 16.-Al
over Tennessee yesterday Afternoon
memorial meetings. were held to honor
the memory of Edward Ward Car
mack If the day upon which he was
as5assinated was dismal and gloomy
ioyerhung with clouds and depressed
with lurking shadows, the day upon
which Tennessee paid the highest
tn q she has yet paid to one of her
citizens, was bright and beautiful
The keynote struck in every meet
ing was a bugle call to the temper
ance forces to rally to the standard,
even though the bearer has fallen,
for since he died that it might proudly
wave it must not be struck down.
Never before in the history of the
temperance movement has Tennessee
been so near the goal and its advo-
Gates feel that if the gallant leader
has given up his life for it, they mus
see to it that victory comes. Many
who have heretofore felt that the time
was not ripe for statewide prohibit
ton in Tennessee know now that the
climax has been reached and that 1t
will come out of the dark shadows |
now lurking over the states fair name, |
as surely as the sun has since shone |
from the clouds that hung as heavily
on the day that Senator Carmack gave
his life for the cause.
The thousands of people who were
packed into the auditorium yesterday
afternoon in Nashville were of one
voice, and with one accord they re-
solved to fight as they have never
fought before for the abolition of the
liquor traffic from the state of Ten
lessee.
Not only in Nashville, which is a
stronghold of the liquor forces, but
III over the state, the same sentiment
prevails and the note has been sound
ID from one end of the state to the ,
,ther. Never has sentiment for state
vide prohibition been so strong, never :
lave the people been so determined to I
rive it from the borders of the state,
lever has victory seemed so sure as
did yesterday.
Out in the silent city of the dead ,
ear his boyhood home at Columbia

een answered, for in speaking of =
is love for Tennessee he said, when .
ny last hour shall come, l pray God

The f~air-haired girl would take up
her candle and steal alone to the look
ing-glass to see If she could discover
the face of her lover peepiug over her
shoulder in the mirrors face, while the
young man would arrange three dishes
on the hearth, placing clean water in
one, dirty water in the second and
leaving the third empty. He would
then place his left hand in one of the
dishes by chance. If it happened to be
the first he would marry a maid, IL in
the second a widow would be his life
mate, while If he found the empty dish
he was doomed to remain a bachelor all
his days.
