Homes Made Happy By Smiles
Love and Appreciation.

While there may be now and
then married women whose desires
are satisfied if they have all the
clothes they want and modest
sum of spending money. it is more
than likely that the lives of a great
many are unhappy and cherries
for lack of love and appreciation
for the hundrum work of life
which so many perform uncom-
plainingly. When a woman goes
as bride to the marriage altar she
dedicates her life to the happiness
and welfare of her husband in a
far more complete and unreserved
manner than he does to her. This
the considerable husband will keep
in mind. He has interests which
properly take him abroad among
his fellows. Hers keep her much
at home. This he should try to
make bright and attractive not
only with paint and paper, but
with smiles, appreciation and con-
sideratiOn. In the vast majority
of instances homes are unhappy
not because of lack of clothes,
furniture or ready money, but for
lack of unselfishneSs and sincere
affection. The greatest blessings
of life are thus within reach of the
poorest, yet are often unrealized in
the homes of the most wealthy.

Mr.. Richard Gentry is growing

''HOme Rule" Ticket Adopts Pro.
hibiti0n Plank.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Aug. 10
The convention of the Republi-
cans of Tennessee designated as
the Home Rulers" nominated
for Governor, I. Asbury Wright,
of Rockwood; Asbury Wright,
was nominated by reclamation.
Mr.. Wright has declined to be
nominee unless the platform con-
tanned plank favoring State
wide prohibition. Following is
the plank on prohibition:
The sale of intoxicating liquors
as a beverage is injurious to the
public health, destructive of the
public morals and productive of
crime.
The temperance legislation in
this State began with the four
mile law in 1887. Its provisions
have been extended from time to
time, until now it protects every
section of the State from the open
saloon, except four places. 1t
has always been supported by the
representatives of the Republican
party in the Legislature. We are
in favor of Statewide prohibition
by the extension of the provisions
of this four-mile law to every por.
ton of the State by our next Leg
islature.
We are also in favor of such
legislation by our State and the
general Government as will pro-
teet the people living in dry ter
ritory from what is known as the
jug trade.

Refuses to Pay Money ApprO-

for Education Is UnCOnsti.
tutlOnal.

Auditor James has refused tC
approve the warrants whereby
State University and the State
Normal schools would receive the
$500, 900 appropriated for them by
the last Legislature. The case is
almost sure to be taken to. the
courts, thereby mourning a delay
and much expense.
The University at present is ir
much need of money. Auditor
James consulted with the Attorney
General. The Auditor believes
the constitutionality of the meas
ure arises under the following
section of the constitution:
mo sum shall be raised or col
lected for education other than j..
common schools until the question
of taxation is submitted to the lie.
gal voters and the majority of the
voters at the said election shall be
in favor of such taxation"
He believes that before he car
legally pay over this money the
question of taxation should first be
submitted to the people and thai
they should be allowed to vote
upon the proposition.
The act provides for 100000
for the State University, at Lex
ington; $3.50, 900 each for the East
ern Normal School at Richmond
and the Western Normal School a
Bowling Green. 1t also provides
an annual appropriation of 5000
for the Eastern Normal School anC
State University, and 100000 fol
