A Hopeful Message to Scalp
Sufferers and Men Whose
Hair is Thinning.

Dandruff now-baid later. The same is
true of scalp diseases In fact, badness is
scalp disease. The trouble with the
greasy salves and lotions, the so-called dam
druf and scalp cures you have tried SO far
is that they don't do anything but temporal
rily relieve the itching and cake the dandruff
so it doesn't fall until it's dried out again.
Nothing can cure, really cure, such troubles
but real scalp medicine that will kill the
germs causing dandruff and scalp disease.
Learning from leading fellow druggists
throughout America that they had found
whirlwind cure for dandruff, eczema and all
diseases of the skin and scalp, the City
Drug Co., on proving to the laboratories
compromising the treatment, that it is the
most prominent drug store in this city, secur-
ed the agency for the remedy. This remedy
is Zemo the clean, liquid preparation that
kills the germ of disease and Zemo Soap 10

the dandruf or scale and by its antiseptic
qualities soothe and heal

STONE SLIDE IN
NATURAL TUNNEL

Bristol, April Many coal
trains from the Southwest Virginia
mines were blocked through by a
stone slide in the natural tunnel on
the Virginia & Southwestern railway
in Scott county, Virginia. 1t is esti-
mated $50 tons of stone fell upon
the track from about midway of the
great natural arch which spans the
railway under the mountain for
distance of nearly thousand feet
it is nearly 800 feet on perpendic-
ular line from the track to the natur-
al arch. There is no accounting for
such collapse in an arch which ma
ture, to all appearances, had made
absolutely secure. Since practically
the whole mountain is solid mass
of stone, men and dynamite were
hurried to the scene and the track
was cleared early yesterday.

MANY NEW NAMES ADDED
Philadelphia Pitcher Ready and

Since our last report, we have re-
ceived wireless announcing the fact
that Scurry, outfielder, Lauter, pitcher,
Schwart, outfielder, and Cotter, short
stop, have signed contracts to play ball
with the johnson City team. And in
addition: There is Al catcher in Chi
cago that we can get if we need him;
pitcher in Philadelphia that will come
if necessary; an outfielder from some
where up in Virginia W no is aching to
get down hare in fast company, if we
find we have any use for any more,
and another pitcher in Brunswick,
Ohio, (whom we may get, if we feel
like it), who used to play in the Re
serve League, and ont of fourteen
games pitched, won eighteen-or maybe
it was the other way, don't remember
now. BuInsville, N. c., wants to play
on our team too. | don't know what
the population of Burnsville is, but if
there are any more people there besides
those who have asked for contracts to
play ball here, it must be whaling
big town. So many contracts have
been sent over there to show them just
what is necessary to become one of the
elite, that new supply has been or
dered from the printer. Some of the
husky lads want to know if they are
to bring shoes and shirts and uniforms,
and some want to know if the players
have to furnish their own bats and
gloves and balls. One fellow wanted
TO know if he could sell peanuts while
his side was on the bench.
The Milligan College team, composed
of Scurry, Simmons, Dave Taylor and
few other minor players, played a
game with Washington college tother
day, and at the end of the fifth inning,
when the game was called, the score
stood to 0 in favor of Sourry, Sim
mons and Taylor. The reason it
wasn't several to nothing, was because
Sam Alexander was on the Washing
ton College side.
Transportation was sent yesterday to

ing of college teams in Florida, and he

MANY CONFERENCES HELD
Speaker Leach and Representative
Swan Can't Deliver
to The Regulars

Nashville, April 1.-THE reg.
ulars" were two men shy in the
house this morning when the leg
islature met, and for this reason
indications are that the election
law amendment, by which it is
sought to increase the election
board members from three to sew
en-, will not berreached today.
Much field work was done yester-
day afternoon and last night, but
all for naught. This morning
found Mr.. Terrell, of Hamilton,
at his wonted place. But while
two men had been gained the
presence of two others had been
lost and the regulars" aided by
Speaker Leach and Representative
Swan, were powerless to get
through the proposed compro-
mise law.
Meanwhile other people we're
busy. Newell Sanders, chairman
of the state republican executive
committee, and members Harry
A. True, of Memphis, and A. M.
McNeilly, of Humboldt, of the
state republican committee, reach
ed the city this morning and held
an early conference with Senator
Luke Lea and Congressman Sam
K. Sells. They counted noses
and they compared notes. They
decided that they we're safe. But
their opponents in the republican
ranks were busy also.
Judge G. M. Henderson, OF
Rutledge, is here. He came this
morning. He held long confer
ence this morning with State
Treasurer Taylor, and later Rep
resentative Farmer, of Granger
county, Judge Henderson's home
county, was brought into the
meeting. What took place is not
known or ever will be known TN.
til Farmer votes.
The fusionists claim him, as do
the regulars. It is said of Farm
er that he is holding the office of
county superintendent of Grain
ger county schools and also that
of legislator and that his position
is rather delicate, now that Judge
Henderson, who is a power in
Granger county, has taken a
hand against Messrs. Sanders and
and Sells. Congressman Sells is
watching every move of Judge
Henderson, because it is common
talk in the First district that the
next opponent of Sells will be
Judge Henderson or Gen. ]. b.
Cox. A phase of the old Brown
low-Evans fight is creeping into
the contest. Both sides are claim
ing Farmer, and the fusionists
with decided confidence. The |
latter will not deny the report
that Mr.. Brown, of Campbell, has
signed up with regulars" and
some say that he has also signed
up with the fusionists and that
he will vote with them.
Mr.. Sanders says he will 60
home tonight. He attended
meeting of the directors of the
NJ, c. & St. L. railroad this
morning after the conference.
Jesse NJ. Littleton is here and
is moving prominently in the anti /
Sanders circle.
The election bill must be set
tie this week, all say, but just
when it comes is a question,

that they must they must hasten
to Washington, but they still re-

TIL ROUPE
is ARRESTED
FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT
1t is Expected that the Trial Wal
be Completed Today
Few Witnesses

After the slow, tedious and wrang'
ling afternoon session of court on
Monday at Jonesboro, finally result
ing in the selecting of three jurors in
the trial of Foy w, Dulaney, the
counsel for the state yesterday morn
ing secured the discharge of the
three jurors chosen, and the selec-
tion of new jury was commenced.
AT the opening of court Mr.. Bur-
row, for the stare, read an affidavit
OF Mr.. Hensley, acting attorney-gen-
eral, claiming and charging that the
men summoned for jury duty had
been spoken TO and tempered with
by one Til Rupe and asking that an
order issue causing said Rupe to ap-
pear and show why he should not be
punished for contempt OF court.
Such an order was issued by the
court, the arrest of Rupe was direct
ed, but Rupe had hastily departed and
had not been found when court ad-
journed. A bond of five hundred
dollars fixed. Mr., Burrow then
read another affidavit of the acting
encouragement, asking the dismissal
of the three jurors chosen, on the
ground that they were among the
list Of names which were nearly all
from the Boone's Creek dis
trict, near the home of Til Rupe;
and charging specifically that Juror
Jackson was habitually under the in
huence of intoxicating liquors that
Juror Martin was brother-in-law
of Deputy Sheriff Hale, who, it was
charged, is an intimate friend and
supporter of Dulaney, and that the
name Of Juror Maupin was called
and given to counsel as O. T.
Maupin, when as matter of fact
the man selected was G. P. Maupin.
On this affidavit, the court dismissed
the Jurors and ordered that the
names of all the remaining men
summoned be put together, and
drawn from the box. The balance
of the day was taken up in obtaining
a jury, which was completed at 4:3o
D. m. Each man was subjected to
searching examination by counsel for
both the state and the defendant,
and OF the peremtory challenges al
lowed, the defendant used the en-
tire eight allowed, and the state
used three out of their allowed four.
The jury as chosen consists Of E. E.
Allen, c. H. Booth, E. ]. Million,
Bruce Chase, Lafayette Isley, R. E.
Phillips, Cain Hammett, w. F.
Reed, J. E. Greenway, A. J. Mil
horn, J. d. Keefauver and Lode
Barnes.
After the jury was completed,
counsel for defendant announced
that they had matter to present to
the court while the jury withdrew,
and before the jury was sworn. The
court ovcrruled request to delay
the swearing in of the jury until
this morning, to allow counsel time
in which to confer and reduce their
motion to writing. Counsel for de-
fendant then orally presented gen.
esal challenge to the array, which
was overruled by 4 c court on the
ground that it came too late, and
should have been made to each indi~
vidual Juror as chosen. The motion
will be presented this n orning in
writing, and made part of the rec
ord.

MANY STORIES ARE TOLD
One LADS Back Covered With
Dried Blood From Bruises
Made by BoggY Whip

Indignation is aroused to a
hig pitch in Greeneville and vi
cinity over the reports as to the
alleged Encouragement and mis-
conduct of Mrs. E. E. Wiley in
the Greeneville orphanage, Since
Mrs Wiley has been in charge of
the institution for a number of
years without any serious COM
plants having heretofore been
made, and has taken great inter-
est in the work of the Methodist
church, the reports were all the
more shocking; so much so, in
fact, that at first they were con-
Sidered idle rumors. After an
investigation a few days ago,
however, a warrant was sworn
out for her arrest, and she has
since been under bond. Misap.
preparation of funds is alleged, in
what amount it is impossible to
ascertain. Among the current
rumors as to mistreatment of in
mates of the orphanage is the
story of her having punished boy
(reported to be subject "a epilep-
tic fits) by placing himin a bar
rel, and either Intentionally or
through forgetfulness, allowing
him to remain there for more
than a day. When taken out he
was in very serious condition.
On another occasion Mrs. Wiley
caused the arrest of three of the
boys for some small offence (tak-
ing jam from the store rooms. J
1t is said that ii was necessary
for her to call on three or four
officials before one could be found
to make the arrest. After the
lads were taken into custody it
was found that one appeared to
be in weakened condition, but
at first could not be induced to
tell what the matter was. After
considerable coaxing. however,
he allowed his shirt to be remov-
ed, after the use of warm water
on his back, and it was found
that his back was cut and bruised
in a fearful manner. He finally
stated that Mrs. Wiley had beaten
him with the handle of buggy
whip, It is common talk that
such treatment of the children,
and not supplying sufficient food
and clothing, has been going on
for some time. 1t is also said
that some charitable persons be-
ing interested in one of the in
mates, had been supplying the
institution with clothing and 9th
er articles for his use, but that
such donations never reached the
boy for whom they were intended.
Rumors that the inmates ears
were pulled out of place, arms
sprained and bodies lacerated by
heavy blows are freely circulated.
The investigation is not yet
completed, and until then it is
not known whether these reports
will be confirmed, or whether
other matters will be brought to
light. The institution has been
the recipient of many large dona-
tions for number of years, not
only from the church under whose
direction it is operated, but from
other institutions and organiza-
tions and from citizens. The
church officials will |
take up the matter soon, probably
Sunday, and it will be thoroughly
Investigated and necessary charg-
es made. 1t is probable, however,
that the erpharage will be closed
for a time at least.
