RaulstOn Winning RenOwn.

Hon. John T. Raulston, republican
candidate for Congress from the Third
Tennessee district, addressed the peo-
ple of Sweetwater at the Opera House
last Monday evening. Mr.. Raulston
was introduced by Prof. John A. Cath
cart and spoke for an hour and half
to an appreciative and attentive audi
ence. He made splendid argument
from a republican standpoint. He dis
cussed the tariff, the money question,
the trust, and the other questions now
being agitated by the American peo'
ple. He criticised Judge Moons rec
orl in Congress and gave many reas-
ons why, in his opinion, ne should bt
sent to Congress instead of his oppon
ent. His plea for the election OF Hon
George N. Tillman was earnest ane
effective and his eulogy of Judge Tar
was splendid. -Sweetwater Telephone

lack London in the South Seas.

The little Shark, in which Jack
London is going around the world for
the Woman Home Companion is see
ing some strange sights. Not the least
of these is the hideous elephantiasis OF
the South Sea Islands
"We sat on the cool porch, on BIZ
haura's best mat, while dinner was
preparing, and at the same time met
the villagers. In twos and threes and
groups they strayed along. Here would
be comely woman of magnificent
proportions, with the port of a queen,
yet married by one arm four times-or
a dozen times-the size of the other.
Beside her might stand six-foot man,
erect, mighty -muscled, bronzed, with
the body of god, yet with feet and
calves so swollen that they ran togeth-
er, forming legs, shapeless, monstrous,
that were for all the world like ele-
phant legs.
"No one seems really to know the
cause of the South Sea elephantiasis.
One theory is that it is caused by the
drinking of polluted water. Another
theory attributes it to incubation
through mosquito bites. A third theo-
ry charges it to predisposition plus the
process of acclimatization. On the
other hand, no one that stands in fin
icky dread of it and similar diseases
can afford to travel in the South Seas.
There will be occasions when such q
one must drink water There may al
so be occasions when the mosquitoes
let up biting. But every precaution
of the fnicky one will be useless. If
he runs barefoot across the beach to
take a swim he will tread where an
elephantiasis case trod few minutes
before. If he closets himself in his
own house, yet every bit of fresh food
9 ON his table will have been subjected
s to the contamination, be it flesh, fish,
fowl or vegetable. In the public mar
: ket at Papeiti two known lepers rur
J. stalls, and heaven alone knows through

and vegetables. The only happy wa.
