INTERFERE.

health, returned yesterday from Lou
don and Lenoir City, Loudon county,

board take charge of the smallpox
situation there.
d. Lillard said yesterday that he
had found fifteen cases of smallpox
in Loudon and three In Lenoir City,
and that the towns and county were
divided over who should resume the
responsibility Of a previous epidem-
ic there. In the present case both
city and county oflcial refuse to take
charge, and both demand that the
state department act. A considera-
BILE cost attaches to the handling of
the previous cases, and the matter Of
VINO shall! pay has not yet been decid-
ed
In response to a question, DR.. Lii
lard said: IT have Investigated the
situation thoroughly, and the state
hoard will act in an advisory capacity
My Unless an epidemic menaces
\ considerable portion Of the etate,
and the county and city boards are,
after a sincere effort to stamp ont the
disease, unable to handle the situa-
ton, the state board has no right to
act. The local officers are compe.
tent to handle the situation, II they
will, and 1t is up to them"

LOCAL POLITICIANS
EXPECTED DEFEAT OF
CHAIRMAN vERTREES
BUT COMMITTEES ACTION Is
NOT PLEASING TO LOCAL
REGULARS.
INDEPENDENTS ARE INDIFFERENT
Should the Regular Regulars Carry
Out Threat and ReorganIxe Com
mlttee They Would Find Some Fol-
lowers in Maury County.

Action taken by the Vertrees COM
mittee endorsing the editors harmo-
ny plan, caused little surprise here.
Such action had ben anticipated ever
since the announcement that a major
ity Of the committee had approved
the plan was made week ago. While
there is no doubt about majority Of
the so-called regulars in Maury county
standing behind the position taken by
vertrees, the plan of the editors was
not Altogether without friends here.
A. O.. p. Nicholson, prominent in
the Patterson ranks ever since the
Memphian became a candidate for
governor, expressed himself as being
delighted with the outcome. He said
that he had been for harmony all the
time and that he believed that the rat
ification Of this plan meant harmony
in the state and it therefore had his
cordial approval.
Col. Thomas H. PEBBLES, who has
been the directing genius Of the reg
ulars Of the county for some time
and who has been a big factor in hav-
ing the local regular" committee en-
dorse vertrees on two or more oc-
casions, stated this morning that he
had nothing to say on the situation
for publication. He attended the
meeting Of the Vertrees committee in
Nashville on Friday and did what he
could to save the day for the Daughty
Major. It is evident that Col. Pee
bles is going to take time to digest
the situation and get his bearings be-
fore plunging into a public discus
sion Of the complicated situation.
As rule the Independent demo
Gratis have maintained an attitude Of
Indifference to the whole proceedings.
All of them desired some sort Of har-
monious action that would insure the
electoral vote of the state for the
democratic candidate for president
and as general proposition the edit
or's plan looks good, but the suspic-
ion that M. r. Patterson is trying to
use party harmony as means to adj
vance his political fortunes has had
the effect of keeping the independents
out of line. If they could be assured
that Patterson and Cox and the other
obnoxious and repudiated leaders OF
the old discredited Patterson ma
Cline would not seek to ride into
place and power through the medium
of the editors plan it's following in
this county would be largely increas-
cd. Only time can determine what
the final outcome of it all will be-
Should Chairman Vertrees and his
followers on the late committee carry
out their threat to fill vacancies and
60 on with the primary and June
convention they would not be without
supporters in Maury county. i is
certain that they would have no
trouble in securing officers for the
primary SO far as this county is con-
cerned. The real rantankerous reg
liars" are strictly with vertrees and
do not want any sort of harmony or
affiliations with the independents.

FEMININE FARMERS
Women Over in Stutsman County Do.
ing the Better Farming Stunt.

Jamestown.-The men are not the
only apostles of good farming. The
ladies are taking hand in the work
and-when the ladies get after any
thing it has to come, surely.
County Superintendent Mary Nc
Ginnis is doing a little better farming
missionary work herself and heads
the corn and potato contest among
the school children of the county She
has received about 300 applications
for seed corn and nearly as many ap-
plications for seed potatoes. Each
applicant gets 600 kernels of corn or
twelve potatoes as they may request
First 600 kernels of corn were labor
iously counted out and then the
quantity measured.
Field Deputies Mary Cusater and
Eva Dunstan have been busy for some
time distributing the seed Miss Gus
ater has been working in the western
part of the county and Miss Dunstan
in the eastern and southern part
They take the supplies to the nearest
town and then those in the outlying
districts come in for their supplies
That the work is going to be pro-
ductive of much good is shown by
the large number Of applications and
the interest in the work. This year
over 500 applications have been re-
ceived for seed as against 1919 last
year. Some thirty bushels of Early
Ohio potatoes have been used for
seed and two bushels of Minnesota
No. % seed corn. The corn is tested
and tried, comes from the state agri-
cultural college, and. is accompanied
by printed matter from the college in
regard to corn culture.

lication, statements that were mailed

THUG IS DowNED BY GIRL
she Feints With Her Left and Swings
a Hard Right to tho Point Of
His Jaw.

Walla Walla, Wash.-When a well
dressed thug stepped from behind q
tree on Thayer avenue at night and
seized Georgia McManus. college
student. by the arm, she tented with
her left and then swung heavy right
to the point Of his Jaw and he went
down. And he stayed down, too, until
Miss McManus was out of striking dis
tance
Miss McManus has had experience
with the gloves, it is stated, and takes
gymnasium lessons at the college.
When the thug grabbed her he made
the mistake of trying to hold her left
arm, leaving her right arm free. Miss
McManus has good right, as the
thug ascertained, and she caught him
unprepared for such q vigorous resist-
ance. and sent him down for the
count.
She had just passed Clinton street
and the darkness is emphasized there
by tall locust trees. When the man,
who appeared to be well dressed.
stepped out and reached for her arm,
she lost no time but struck, and struck
forcibly.
No clue to the assailant was found.
as it was so dark Miss McManus could
not see his face and she did not wait
for him to recover from the shock.

struck six weeks; in 1902 they were
out five and half months and In 1906
they again suspended work for six
weeks. In the 1900 and 1902 strikes

ton obtain what it has in some of the

milton of the union.
In the following year there was no
general movement. but 102 separate
strikes were recorded during the year.
The 1902 strike was the greatest in
the history of the country. The union
asked for 20 per cent increase in
wages. reduction in hours from ten
to eight day and recognition of the
union. The strike lasted from May
IL to October %. Nearly 147.000
workers were idle and thousands of
railroad and other workers were
thrown out Of employment The en-
tire national guard of Pennsylvania,
about 10000 men. were called into
