BY GOVERNOR
SAYS SEN. HOUK
DELIVERS BITTER ADDRESS
Letter of Renfro Basis for Speech.
Congressman Sells Comes IN
for Share of Vituperation

Nashville, May 11.-Taking
the present attitude of Gov. Hoop
er and other officials of his ad-
ministration, and the letter writ
ten by George t. Renfro, asking
for contributions TO slush fund
as his text, Senator John C. Houk,
of Knoxville, made a speech in
the senate yesterday that stirred
up every member present, and
had the capitol officials coming
in from their offices TO hear his
arraignment of the governor and
his administration.
Senator tIouk started by paying
his respects to Mr.. Renfro, stat
ing that the latter had II yer taxi
en- the oath of Office, or that, at
least, it had never been recorded
with the secretary of state, ard
saying that the governor should
discharge him, as he was violat-
ing the constitution every day he
served without taking the oath.
He said that Gov. Hooper was
openly in league with the abb
sconders, that he had the power
to order them back any time he
got ready, and that the governor
is violating his oath of Office ev-
cry day he allows them TO remain
away.
Senator Houk started in 5y
reading the Renfro letter, pub
lished Tuesday, and called atten-
ton to the fact that Mr.. Renfro
signed it as the secretary of the
republican state committee.
When he wrote that letter."
said Mr.. Houk, "Mr. Renfro was
acting as superintendent of the
capitol, although he had never
been sworn in, or at least, his
oath had never been filed with
the secretary of state, and Mr..
Renfro knew, as the administra-
ton forces knew, that his position
here, in close touch with the gov
trnor, would make his appeal for
funds for the purpose of paying
expenses and per diem of abscond-
ing members more certain of sue
cess"
Mr.. Houk declared that the let
ter would never .haye been sent
out by an appointee of the gov
ernor without first being referred !
70 Gov. Hooper for approval, and
charged that the governor, thro'
is aiding and abetting the
breaking of quorum In the house
IF representatives.
IT is the duty of the governor
% call a halt on any of his ap-
,ointees whom he finds aiding in
he breaking of a-euorum, in vio-
alton of the constitution" said !
A1r. Houk, land if the governor
lid his duty he would discharge
2enlro. But the governor is the
nan behind the whole proceedings
ind he is not going TO discharge
/ man for carrying ont his orders,
wen if he does violate his oath
# Office in retaining him.
Mr.. Houk continued by stating
hat if the proper investigation
vsre made, the governor could be
ouud derel;ct in his duty, to say
he least. He then introduced
he following resolutiou:
Resolved, That the senate de- +,
lares with emphasis, that it is no
ense party Gas insinuated by

A Good Beginning.

Everything in later life depends upon how
we begin it. You can not be successful in
life if you haven't good health. To insure
good health in later life it is necessary to
start right. Many Of Iife's serious ills are
caused by constipation, indigestion and Iv-
er trouble. The best way to cure them in
old or young is by the use Of DR.. CaldwelPs
Syrup Pepsin.
1t is absolutely guaranteed TO do what is

Rare Old Indian Relic.

A rare Indian relic was unearthed in Trenton, N. J. recently. It represents human head, and Is made of baked clay. The head is regarded as the work of e New Jersey Indian, but 1t is unlike anything that has been discov. cred in the way of Indian relics. It is swo and one-half Inches long by one and one-half inches wide. Shell orna- ments. known to lave been used by the Delaware Indians, are attached to the ears. The tip of the nose and up per lip have been slightly abraded. It appears as if the upper lip had been perforated and a labret worn. The artistic ability shown in this relic. ac- cording to an expert. is altogether be yond what is supposed to have been skill of the Indians. and is equal 10 the best examples of art among the Greeks and Romans.

THIEF ESCAPES BY BALLOON
Not Quite Up to Date, as 1t Was Not DiriaibIe, but lt Served
 Purpose.

Hotfooting 1t some distance in ad- vance of the town marshal his pursu- er a pickpccket made a strenuous leap into the basket of a balloon near Ssyre, Okla, just as the air craft was leaving the ground, and sailed away to safety.
 The balloon had been filled with gas and the aeronaut, George Harvey, was in the basket ready to start when the marshal discovered the pickpocket taking a wallet from a pocket of a citizen whose attention was centered on the balloon.
 The marshal attempted to catch the thief and the pursued man ran and leaped into the basket as it cleared the earth. He refused to heed the marshals warning cry of "Stop thief"
 At the height of several hundred feet the thief drew a revolver and warned Harvey not to release the rip cord on his balloon until he was or deTed to dc so,
 After the pair has travelled 50 miles the unwelccme passenger gave the word and the balloon was lowered. Ten feet from the ground the thief leaped from the basket and ran. Re lieved of part of it's burden. the bal loon again shot upward.
 When Harvey finally effected land ing. several hundreds yards from where the thief had alighted. be had disappeared.-New York World.

DOCTORS ENDORSE Rewbro's Herpicide

When a doctor endorses a pTepaTa- tion, it means more than an ordinary testimonial His opinion is always that of the professional man, devoted to the welfare of the people
 D. J. J. Boyd, Covington, Tenn, says: T feel it my duty to write this for the benefit of those suffering from dandruff. In the average case @ few applications of Newbro's Herpi- eide will remove all dandruf It is advisable to continue its use for sey- eral weeks"
 The words of J. B. Thompson, M. D, No. 2 Burrough Place. corner Hol- lis St, Boston. Mass, are not less enthusiastic: T can only speak in praise of Newbro's HeTpicide. It is all that is claimed and perhaps more. Herpicide not only cleanses the scalp but brightens the hair. gives 1t life and makes it soft"
 Dr. T. A. Moore. Duncan. Ariz. writes of his experience: My scalp was in places covered by patches Of dry, scaiy material. and the itching was incessant. Since using Herpi- eide all these evils have disappeared, and my hair is soft. smooth, and growing. Hair has grown on spots before but thinly covered"
 NewbrOs Herpicide is the original remedy to kill the dandruf germ and stop falling hair. The terrible itch ing which goes with dandruff Is al layed almost at once.
 Herpicide is for sale at drug stores.

Some days a man is so worthless that he is in his own way.
 Tell a man what he should do. and he won't do 1t. to show that he is in- dependent.
 You may be busy. but if you have time to tell your troubles, you are not busy enough.
 1 can stand an ordinary school teacher pretty well; but a real pro lessor scares me.
 When I deserve it. I don't mind abuse; 1t makes me careful But l seldom agree with my critics as to when deserve abuse.
 A man may look around a month before ordering a suit but when he finally orders it, he wants il next day.
 Give the devil his due" is an old saying. I don't know about that; give the devil his due. and he would soon have too much.
 The only way to accumulate money Is to be honest and trustworthy. The man who doesn't know this is danger GUS: be is a fool, and liable to become a thief
 Public opinion Is the great means Of accomplishing good in 6 community. If a man does not behave himself, public opinion can soon whip him into line. That man does not live who Is not afraid of public opinion.
 People do not seem to understand the importance of honesty. To be sure, good conduct is taught. in @ way, but too many mistakenly think such teaching perfunetory duty, and that there are many pleasures tn Q reckless, careless life.
