After Blind Tigers.

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 16.-Atty.-
Gen. McCarn offers to pay $50 reward
for the first proof Brought to him of a
violation of the prohibition law by a
white man on or after August IA, and
before the opening of the criminal court
on the first Monday in September.
This money is to be paid upon the
final conviction of the violator, and the
offer applies only to sales made be-
tween the dates mentioned. The money
is to be paid by Mr.. McCarn personally.
and not by the State or country.
Since the adjournment of the grand
jury some of the saloon men have be-
come somewhat emboldened, but this
offer will make matters difficult for
them. 1t will make it rather haz-
ardous matter to sell liquor to any ex-
tent when the buyer is liable to give
testimony against the seller at any time.

Shoots Young Wife.

Humboldt, Tenn. Aug. IA very
serious accident occurred at the home
of the late r. l.. Craddock last night
about ten clock. Mr.. Edgar Craddock
and his wife (nee Miss Gertrude
Jinnette), to whom he was married last
Wednesday, went to their room and be-
fore lighting lamp, Mr.. Craddock
placed his pistol on dresser, as he
thought, but the dresser had been
moved and the pistol fell to the floor
and was discharged, the ball entering
the young wife's chest and ranging up
ward was cut out of the back of the left
shoulder.
This is a most unfortunate affair and
the friends of the young couple deeply
sympathize with them in their hour of
trouble.
The physicians think unless some
sets up, there is hope of
the unfortunate one recovering.

HEADACHE RELIEVED
WITH GLASSES
WHEN EVERYTHING
ELSE FAILS.
The Good Roads Gospel.

The Ohio Farmer has the right idea
about the principle Of road construction.
That is, as to the policy which ought to
be supported by farmers and developed
for their benefit. The Ohio Farmer ex-
presses little sympathy with what are
called Statewide highways, but it sug-
gests substitute in the form of neigh
borhood roads, radiating from shipping
centers.
1t costs too much for the farmer to
get his crop to market He complains
great deal about railroad charges and
railroad discrimination, and in many
cases these complaints are just.
But he ought to complain about his
county authorities, about his neighbor-
hood officers, about the men who have
not provided good roads to the nearest
railroad station.
Each county ought to develop year
by year a system of good roads covering
the whole territory, but, as the Ohio
Farmer suggests, these roads should be
built to the benefit of the farmer, to en-
able him to get his crops to market.
Then if they are useful to the automo-
bile owners or useful to other traffic,
well and good.
The truth is, no community can over
estimate the value Of good roads Ev-
cry dollar put in good roads adds $40 to
the land in that neighborhood
But this does not mean that roads
ought to be built regardless of local ne
cessities or local movements. In Penn
sylvania recently the Legislature appro-
priated five million dollars to build
highway from Philadelphia to the Ohio
line. Protest came from the farmers
about this waste and extravaganza, and
the Governor vetoed the bill.
There is a prejudice in farming COM
against the automobile; but it
is disappearing and it ought to disap-
pear. The farmer ought to watch care
fully the development of the automo-
bile. 1t has heretofore been the toy of
5he rich. 1t is gradually developing on
ines which make it the most efficient
nd to the next generation of farmers.
The movement for good roads took
IN national aspect when the bicycle
vas new instrument of locomotion.
The roads remained long after the BIZ
ycle craze disappeared, or after it gave
)lace to the automobile movement.
Home and Farm indorses heartily
he views of the Ohio Farmer. It ia
ors good roads and many of them, but
believes instead of being made State
Tide highways, or what, in railroad
are called trunk lines, they
ught to be made local highways

MISTAKEN FOR BURGLAR
Geo. Speed Shoots and Kills Brother
in-Law, Alb Vinson.

Fulton, KY, Aug. ia terrible
tragedy was enacted two miles north of
Fulton last night when George Speed
shot and instantly killed his brother-in-
law, Alb. Vinson.
Vinson, with his wife and three chill
dren, were in town yesterday afternoon,
and, meeting Speed, the latter invited
them to spend the night at his home.
The intense heat made it impossible for
Vinson and his wife to sleep, and the
two arose and went out on the balcony
to cool Off Their talk aroused one of
the Speed children, and the child told
his father burglars were in the house
AT this juncture Mr., and Mrs. Vim
son arose to go in the house, and the
elder Speed seized shotgun and open
ed fire on them. The first shot struck
Vinson and he fell dead. The second
shot was intended for Mrs. Vinson, but
went wide Of the mark.
Speed is heartbroken over the sad
affair. Vinson's body was laid to rest
this afternoon at Chapel Hill, a large
concourse Of friends following the re-
mains to their last resting place.
No action will be taken against Speed.
He is man of high character and his
version of the sad affair is accepted
without question. 1t is merely the old
story of being too quick with a gun,

COUNTY PRIMARY.
Election Date Changed to Saturday
October 16.

The Obion County Democratic Execu.
tive Committee met at the courthouse
last Saturday afternoon in pursuance
of a call to consider the action of the
committee in calling county primary
next April to select Democratic nomi-
nees for the county offices.
Ten committeeman were represented
in person or by proxy as follows: Chair
man o. Spradlin, Cato Davis, w. G.
Petty, John White, Hughes Hunt, John
Swiggart representing one proxy and
ID. 7. Caldwell representing four proxies.
A motion was made by Mr.. White
that the date of the Obion County
primary election be changed from April,
1910, to Saturday, October 16, 1909
and after a few remarks the motion was
seconded by Mr.. Davis and agreed to,
three votes being cast against the motion
by Mr.. Caldwell and Mr.. Swiggart for
committeeman whose proxies they were
representing.
Incorporated in the motion were the
provisions that the election be held
in accordance with the general primary
election law past by the last Legislature.
In compliance with the law a subcom-
mittee was named, composed of Chair
man Spradlin, w. G. Petty and Hughes
Hunt, to meet on Saturday, September
IS, 1909, for the purpose of receiving
and certifying to the application of can
didates and list of officers, judges and
clerks, the latter to be named by the
committeeman of the various civil dis
tricts
A motion was also passed that the
application of no candidate be received
or indorsed unless accompanied with
So the amount assessed to each can
didate as his pro rata portion of the
expenses of election. The amount is
to be deposited with the chairman of
the executive committee, Mr.. Spradlin. |
This motion was not intended for the
sole purpose of disbarring any candi-
date, but to avoid entanglements in
making collections.
The county primary is to be held on
the same date, but separate and distinct
from the judicial primary election, sep
arate ballot box and officers, judges and
clerks. The two elections, however,
will be held on the same day and the
same voting places in the county.
The meeting of the committee was
leld and action taken as above in pur-
uance of petition signed by num-
oer of the candidates and published in
asst week S paper.

Misleading the Public.

An Associated Press dispatch from
St. Louis says that Judge Harris, til,
principal owner of Reelfoot Lake. ha
returned to Lake County, after spending
two weeks in the hospital in that city
where he was being treated for malaria
troubles. Some days ago the wires
carried sensational report that Judge
Harris had gone to st. Louis for fear
of Nightriders, and it was broadly
initimated he would not return to the
Lake country.
When we read this latter dispatch we
did not believe there was word of truth
in it. The st. Louis Dispatch confirms
our opinion.
The inaccurate and unfounded state
ments of correspondents is a source of
great annoyance to reputable newspa-
pers. Such statements embarrass the
newspapers, and cause many unthink-
ing persons to believe that newspapers
strive to print anything whether true
or untrue. Such reports as that con-
cerning Judge Harris lend color to this
view. However, there never was a
more erroneous understanding in the
public mind. Newspapers of character
and standing make every possible effort
to gather and print the news accurate
ly. Not infrequently they spend time
and money merely to establish some
really unimportant fact because of the
great desire to print only the truth.
And it is only fair that newspapers
should print the facts, and the facts
only. Patrons buy them as they buy
other commodities. When they buy
1our or meat or clothing they do not
want to be cheated. No more will they
support a newspaper which cheats them
n order to make a sensation.
The first report about Judge Harris
lever had any basis. 1t would have
'een easy to have ascertained the facts.
5ut, no; some penny-a-liner felt that
le could make few pennies by telling
he world that Judge Harris had been
un out of the country because of Night {
ider threats. The penny-a-liner made
is pennies, but at the same time be
ID his readers to believe that the Reel {
ooters were band of savages stand
lg ready to murder the Judge if he
id not leave. Such reports, therefore,
OF only demonstrate the inaccuracy
some newspaper men, but they are !
$50 damaging to the good name of
lie State {
