HEAVY INCREASE IN PRICES
Another Leap IN Cost of Living is

Take Advantage of Thise

The people of the United States are
face to face with another big increase
in the cost of living.
The meat harvest is failure this

There is a genuine shortage in live
stock, not one made by the Chicago
packers for price purposes, but ashort-

The live stock marketing season is
now more than half over and the situ-

Rice A. Pierce Will Probably Be

Union City, Tenn, Sept. Sat the
meeting of the regular democratic COM
mittee of the Ninth congressional dis

decided to put out candidate for con-
gress in opposition to Finis j, Garrett,

district was represented, and it was
the opinion of those present that Hon.
Rice A. Pierce, of this city, was the
man to defeat the present congress-
man. In fact, no other name was men,

The committee decided to call county
conventions for Sept. II, at which del
egates will be selected to the district
convention to be held in this city on
Sept. 20.
Resolutions were adopted in which
Mr.. Garrett is accused of allying him
self with the republicans and boilers
and seeking to destroy the democratic
party in Tennessee. The resolutions
declare that any one claiming to be

fuses to indorse all democratic nom

Garrett refuses to support or advocate
the election of all democratic nominees,
and likewise refuses to indorse the
platform adopted at Nashville June
10, and that, by such refusal, he has
absolved all the true democrats from
any obligation to support or vote for
him and has thereby placed himself in
antagonism to organized democracy in
the state, has forfeited his claim to it's
support and allied himself with the

6 PASSENGER TRAINS DAILY
For Rogersville When New Line
OpenS-Will Haul Coal Direct
From the Virginia Fields

Rogersville, Sept. 9,-Work on the
Holston River railroad, which runs be-
tween Persia, six miles east of Rogers
vile, and Moccasin Gap, Va, is prac-
tically completed, and by the first of
October passenger service will be in eff
feet over this line.
This line, which is thirty-one miles
in length, will carry the coal directly
from the rich coal lands of Southwest
Virginia to the towns and ports of the
south-Atlantic coast states. This will
make much shorter line and better
grade than the present, which necessi-
tates carrying coal to Bristol, over the
Y. d s. w. lines, then switched to the
Southern line.
The work was done by Lane Bros. &
Co., of Buena Vista, Va, and the road
is completed except for little ballast
ing.
The road follows the Holston river
and passes through magnificent
farming section of Hawkins county,
and will prove of untold valne to the
county.
1t is understood that after this road
is in operation Rogersville will heve
six trains day, instead of four, as al
present, and that service will also be
given on Sunday.

CONVICTED OF
ASSAULT ON
GIRL EIGHT YEARS OF ACE
Holloway is Seventy Years Old
and Formerly Lived in This
County, Now Knoxville

G. II. Holloway, of this city, was
found guilty of assault with attempt
to rape in criminal assault Friday. The
defendant was charged with an assault
on Emmaline Farmer, eight years of
age. He was given ten years in the
penitentiary, but motion for new
trial was entered.
The Carl Still murder case was pass
ed from yesterday to September 26, and
the next case Of interest was that
against G. ii. Holloway. The latter is
seventy years old, and came from
Washington county, but !has been
resident of this city for eight years.
On the witness and in that case
were J. III. Farmer and Mrs. Farmer,
parents of the little 8-year-old GIRL EN-
maline Farmer, herself, and Lula Stan
ley, her friend and schoolmate, an eye
witness. Mr. Holloway had four chaE-
acter witnesses, and also took the stand
in his own behalf.
The testimony of Lula Stanley, ~
year-old girl, was that Holloway took
the two of them into her, the Stanley
child's, home and into one of the rooms,
locking the door. The elder girl was
able to protect herself, but the younger
became a nervous wreck, and for some
time, partially wrecked, and was in
bed at her home, unable to get out for
some time.
According to the testimony, this oc-
Cured on the 18th day of last March,
while the girls were pupils at McCallie
school. Mrs. Farmer first noticed that
her daughter was so i'll that she had to
go to bed, and she testified that she
had seen Holloway following her child
on the street number of times. When
she was no longer able to be about,
Holloway called at the Farmer home
several times to inqnire after the little
girl.
The story was then told, on inquiry
of the parents, by both the children
related in court when they testified
yesterday.
Capt. w. l.. Ledgerwood and Harry
Hall were attorneys for the defendant,
and assisting Attorney General II. A.
Mynatt James G. Johnson was engag-
ed to assist in the prosecution by pa
irons of McCalie school.
The trial elected much interest. 1t
was Attorney-General Mynatt's first
real important case since his election
to that Office, and the fight on both
sides was made with much care and
and attention.
