The Sewerage Work.

The work of Union City's sewerage
system begins this week. The start is
being made at point south of town
where the septic tank is to be placed,
beginning with the 15-inch pipe The
big steam trenching machine is being
used for the ditch work This machine
plows up the dirt and dumps it over on
the side of the ditch with a rapidity that
is remarkable. The machine was last
used at Atlanta, Ca, and shipped here
from that city. Mr. jerks, the engi-
neer,i here directing the work and from
all we can gather this gentleman and
thecontractors are all of the most reli-
able character we'll known in their line
of business and well prepared to handle
anything Of the kind from the smallest
to the largest contract The work will
proceed, including the septic tank, from
now on, and we are informed that sew
erage pipe will be laid northward both
on Depot and Second streets, on both
sides of town 1t was at first intended
to confne the work this year to the line
running to Depot and Harrison streets
and continuing on the east side of town,
but the plans are now arranged to run
the Second street line, coming through
the business part of town in the alley to
the rear of Second street and continuing
to Burdick's fishery. This is to be done
in order to make provision for carrying
off the refuse from the fishery and to
accommodate the business men with
more closet facilities 1t is also under
stood that this portion of the work as
well as the work reaching Main street
will be finished this year This, Of
course, is the first installment OF the
contract and takes care of only small

Justice Harlan.

II is likely that Associate Justice Har-
Ian will be appointed to succeed Chief
Justice Fuller as Chief Justice of the
United States Supreme Court Justice
Harlan and Chief Justice Fuller were
very warm friends and companions.
They were almost inseparabe. 1t there
fore goes to show that Justice Harlan is
man Of great character. But aside
from this fact Justice Harlan has handed
down some of the most important de-
cisions that have come from the SUI
preme Court 1t is possible that Justice
Harlan is the brainiest man in the Unit
ed States Certain it is that he suffers
by comparison with no men in public
life. If we we're called upon to enum-
crate the men OF his rank mentally we
should recall Thos. b. Reed, Grover
Cleveland and men of that type. We
have few of such mentalities to-day. 1t
is said that Reed s relation to the mem
bers Of Congress was like the big school
master and house full of small boys.
He seldom had tilt that he did not
numerically fay his opponent Reed
said himself that only one man appeared
in the House during his tenure worthy
of his metal and that man was George
Crisp Of Georgia. Mr.. Crisp was at one
time Speaker OF the House of Repre-
sentatives.
With all the criticism that has been
cast at the name of Cleveland no man
has ever presumed to question his intel
ligence. His was one of the great
minds of America. And contempora-
neous with these men is Justice Harlan,
who has outlived either of the broad
est, best and purest type Of statesman
ship. Justice Harlan is one of the most
popular men personally and one of the
best opponents of law He is esteemed
by law students as an Incompatible lee
turer His is one of the minds which
molds thoughts for other men, He
is taller in character than the influence
of all the corporate wealth and bigger in
brain than all its ingenuity. Justice
Harlan is comparatively old, but of all
men he should succeed his late bosom
friend, Chief Justice Fuller The Unit
ed States Supreme Court would be hon
ored by his selection as it was honored
by such men as Marshall, Waite and
Storey.

1t is now probable that Hon. Rice A.
Pierce will enter the field for Congress
against Mr.. Garrett, and talk of other
candidates has been INDUCED in. The
Republican candidate, Mr.. Brown, was
here Monday, his interests having in
creased by virtue of the fact that the
race may be complicated with new en-
tries. In the meanwhile we see no inn
mediate cause for alarm with respect to
Mr.. CARROTS chances. He is the nom
inee of the Democratic primary, and

mains Prevent an extension Of the work
to many Of the citizens this year, but il
viii provide for the worst features Of
sewerage sanitation.
1t has been suggested that arrange
ments could be made for an extension
Of the entire system in one contract with
practically the same demands upon the
treasury and the same cost. However
this may be, we are sure that the Board
Of Mayor and Aldermen will let no OPP
portunity pass to give the city the best
results to be obtainable from all the
plans that have been proposed.
In any event Union City is to have a
complete system Of sewerage within two
years, which reduces the time limit one
year from the first plan, and that, if
nothing interferes. will be more than
any citizen had ever hoped to see in the
near future. Mayor Coble and the Board
have undertaken great work, and they
are giving it time and attention. They
are giving to the city probably more
service than has ever been devoted to
municipal work heretofore in Union
City, and the citizens should lend all the
cooperation possible. Don't pull back
and criticise the work, but lend your en-
couragement and help. The work is for
your benefit and the benefit of all the
citizens. 1t is for your health and the
health Of your neighbor 1t is, as well
as convenience, means to prevent the
spread of disease and therefore an i'm
portant and valuable work for every
man, woman and child in Union City. |
The sewerage will be not only Of the
greatest value from point of sanitation
and convenience, but it will lead to civic
pride. 1t will give an impetus to the
beautifying of our homes, our lawns and |
our premises. While all this is in prog
ress, Union City, with the best schools
and churches and the best drinking wa
ter to be found, will be gaining in pop
ulation at a rate now unthought of.
Sewerage will bring unreasonable bene-
fits in every way, and the city is indeed
to be congratulated in this movement.

For Grand Championship.

| IlOAlt AAANNo W IA 4hNANOih AAAhN0 AAlt
West Tennessee Fair Association for an
explanation, as follows:
Please refer to page 80 of your FAN
catalogue and advise from what class
grand champion hogs are to be selected
Goth sexes. Under the head of Sweep
stakes, you have class for both sex one
year old and over, and one year old or
under. 1t is my opinion that the can
didates for the grand champion would
be those most successful in winning the
sweepstakes prize in the year old or over
and the one year old or under classes.
In this way you have only two entries
for the silver cup. Will you kindly adj
wise if the position | have taken in the
matter meets with the approval of the
| Fair Association.
This very important item in reference
to the hog and sheep department was
included in a query made by Mr.
Mcneil, of Rives, last week. Mr.. Nc
Neil sent us this for publication, and
in attempting to answer through the
paper we concluded that we were not
well enough posted to do so. This week
we asked for further instructions and
now endeayor to make the matter plain.
Mr. Mcneil wanted to know if he was
not right with regard to the grand cham
pionships mentioned on page 30 of the
fair catalog in the assumption that the
entries for grand championship premi-
ums must be pigs that have won premi
ums in the champion classes at the
same fair. After talking with Mr. Far
ris and Mr.. Wade we are instructed to
say to Mr.. Mcneil and to others who
have hogs to enter that in order to win
a grand championship premium the ex-
hibitor must have won either one of the
premiums in the championship classes,
and under that ruling there must of ne
cessity be only two entries for each of
the silver cups or medals. The grand
champion boar contest must be decided
between the winners OF the two cham
pionship premiums, one for best boar one
year old and over and one for best boar
under one year old. The grand cham
pion SOW contest must be decided in the
same manner. Mr.. Mcneil states that
this matter has heretofore been misun-
derstood, and that it was his purpose to
have the matter adjusted so that there
would be no further confusion.
There have been exceptions, however,
where the ruling was not plain For
instance, Mr.. Russwurm entered for
grand championship premiums hogs
that had not been entered in the cham
classes. He did not enter in
the championship classes because he
appointed the judges and was therefore
ineligible to these classes Yet he was
admitted to the grand championship |
contest Such condition is not likely |
to exist, but in order to make the mat
ter clear the association has decided that |
entries must be made in both classes to
win the grand champion premiums

SEY DISEASE
The symptoms Of kidney trouble are
so unmistakable that they leave no
ground for doubt. Sick kidneys ex-
crete a thick, cloudy, offensive urine,
full Of sediment. irregular Of passage or
attended by a sensation Of scalding.
The back aches constantly, headaches
and dizzy spells may occur and the vic
tim is often weighed down by feeling
OF languor and fatigue. Neglect these
warnings and there is danger Of dropsy,
Bright's disease, or diabetes Any one
Of these symptoms is warning enough
to begin treating the kidneys at once.
Delay often proves fatal.

Books with too Much Ladies.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle of sherlock
Holmes" fame has been quoted as say
ing that the only sort of criticism he
cares about is that of man to man, who
passes book along with the endorse
ment, "Its rippin' or, "It's rot" A
reviewer of books supported this idea in
recent letter directed to the Harper
publishing house. 81 knew lad once,
the writer says, "who was unofficial
faster for all the boys in his town. he
was an omnivorous reader and by COM
mon consent the others waited for his
verdict. If he said the book was good
they besieged the librarian, and If it
failed to meet his commentator it went
unread. For some reason, very likely
too much adult laudation, he did not
admire Treasure Island" which be
pronounced AN awful yarn My own
