House Burned.

The residence of Ohas Thur
man at Meeks was completely
destroyed by fire last Friday. A
portion of the contents. to the
value of about $T5, was destroy
ed, although most of the house
hold and kitchen furniture was
saved
The fire was first seen on the
roof near the kitchen hue, but a
high wind famed the flames to
other parts of the building and
rendered it an impossibility to
bring them in subsection to the
"bucket Brigade" as that was
the only means for fighting fire.
Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1911-03-02

All the grasping aud the greed
of this world come from Tot re-
garding our fellows as our neigh.
bors. One doesn't trample his
neighbors. He works with them
to a common end. We must
come to look on all the world as
our neighbors. We must do away
with the idea of classes. There
isn't any justification for class
lines in America. They are unjust
unwholesome, unrighteous end
unAmerican. Why should Wa
have class lines here in this
country and one man despise
another just because he had been
lucky enough to make a little
money. A man has some right
to be proud of what be makes
with his own hands and his own
brains, but he hasn't any bust
ness putting on air over what he
is merely trying to spend.

Saturday, Chess Leverton and
Erritt Stepp engaged in an al
tercation when Laverton slashed
Stepp a few times n the face,
INJECTING two or three painful
but not serious wounds.

The Ghost in Lankfordtown

A ghost was seen and heard in
the Lankfordtown school house
Monday night. Several people
went TO that place to see what
they could find out about it..
They saw a bright light in the
house and also saw man mur-
dering another, and could hear
him begging and struggling in
blood. Tuesday night II large
crowd went to see che ghost; and
in the crowd were T, b. Lank-
ford and two sons, Levi and Ben,
and Charlie Harg's. Again the
light appeared and they heard
the groans and strugglirgs, and
L. b. Landlord asked the crowd
TO surround the house and sand
he would go in and see What he
could find. Uhas. Hargis, Levi
and Ben Landlord stood one on
each side and one at the rear
window to see that no one came
out. 7. B. Landlord entered the
house, struck match and found
the ghost was "aylcr Meeks. So
that Is generally the kind of
ghosts that are seen.

Human Bodies Complete Circuit.

Two youths of OlarksviIle have
astonished the public and loca'
electricians with the daring act
of using their bodies as a medium
for the passage of deadly voltage
of the electric arc light circuit
of the Clarksville Light q Power
Company. The young men are
Messrs. Frank Mcdaniel, clerk
at Fletcber's Pharmacy, and
Roger Abbey, an electrical work
man. Both are electrical stu
dents and have devoted much
time to study and experiment,
but why they are not struck dead
while bearing death-dealing
voltage is a mystery. Persons,
with techinal knowledge of cleo
tricity and its dangerous nature
in high voltage, have been hor-
rlfed on seeing them attempt
several experiments. One of
the most dangerous in which they
have been seen is in completing
a 10 volt circuit with two arc
light carbons, one GORDON being
held by each boy and brought
in contact while they stood on
metallic plates wired in a cir
cult. TO make the experiment
more blood curdling, one of the
boys holds a carbon in his mouth
while the other makes the con
tact. A light of the same bril-
liancy and volume is produced as
seen in the large street arc lights,
A man in the employ of the
local light and power company
was instantly Killed In that city
a few months ago by the same
current with which these boys
make bold. The only explana-
ton of their immunity is gradual
immutation. BY degrees, with
the use of volt.reducing device,
they have taken the current lit
tie by little until they have inur-
ed themselves to the currents
greatest power.
A feat not yet performed, but
promised, is to convey current
through their bodies to a motor
to which will be fitted a large
cornsheller or some other machine
requiring power to run it.

MESSAGE on INDIAN |: LID
President Says re Has Set Aside Por.
tions Of severa, Treaties and Asks
Changes II legislation. s.

President Taft, in special message
% congress on the Minnesota Indian
liquor question, urged legislation with
drawing government control of the sale
Of liquor from all of the territory COW
cred by the Indian treaties except
those portions in which considerable
number of Indians still reside as wards
of the government
The message relates to three sepa-
rate treaties. One with the Winneba-
go Indians is to be entirely abrogated
as to the liquor provisions. This al.
fects the territory north of st. Peter
and west of the Mississippi river, es.
timated to contain about S97 900 acres
In the case of the treaties with the
Chippewas Of Lake Superior and the
Mississippi lands the federal control
of the sale of liquor is restricted to a
comparatively small territory.
The president also issued orders in
those instances where the treaties au,
thorize the president to repeal or mod"
ify the control of liquor. ..
The executive order of President
Taft rehnquishes all of the territory
covered by the treaty of 1S48 from the
control of the government and with.
draws government control of the sale
of liquor on all except certain speci
fed portions of the territory covered
by the treaties of 1851, 1854 and 1868
