IT'S HARD ON US. SENATORS
New Government Law Limits
Expenditures of National
Lawmakers.

With the coming on of the primaries
and elections to select both a member
of congress and senator in congress
this fall, considerable interest has been
aroused in recent national legislation
limiting the amounts to be lawfully ex-
pended by candidates in their cam
paigns and requiring publication of all
contributions and expenditures.
The act now in force on this subject
is the act of June 25, 1910. as amends d
August 10, 1911, aud is to be found in
volume 36, United States statutes, page
822, and following. 1t is a comprehen-
sive law and its provisions do not seem
to be generally known.
The law provides limit of So, 900 to
the expenditure of man seeking the
office of congressman, including ex-
penses of both primary and general
election. For United States senator
ial candidate the limit for primary and
general election expenses is $40, 00O.
Not only is the limit fixed, but there
are numerous requirements providing
for statements before and after cleo
ton as to all receipts from all sources
and all expenditures in detail.
No penalty is named in the law but
all statements are required to be filed
upon oath, affording way of prosecu-
tion for false swearing. and it is pos
sible that there may be d prosecution
and penalty under a provision covering
all cases where penalty is not named.
At any rate the violation of such pro-
visions when brought to the attention
of congress would be sufficient evidence
upon which to deny a seat.

We Have Excellent Fire Protection


FaIlon's fire protection afforded by
the new water system was amply de-
monstrated Monday evening when two
streams were allowed to run with full
force from two fire hydrants for half
AN hour under a pressure from the res
ervoir alone. Starting at 125 pounds
the pressure dropped very slowly un-
til il reached 80 pounds around which
mark the register gauge remained,
proving that in case of fire Fallon has
a water supply that will prove wholly
effective. The fire insurance under
writer's will without doubt place an un-
qualified stamp OF approval on Fallon's
water system and give the property
owners of the town a substantial re-
duction in the rates Of premiums.
The members Of the newly organized
fire companies handled the test of the
water system and their efficiency was
well demonstrated. The local company
counts many who were formerly iden-
titled with efficient organizations else

THE CEREMONIES
AT JONESBORO

Jonesboro, Tenn, Aug. 15.-The Ger
emonies incident to the laying of tn,
cornerstone for handsome new cour
house for Washington county, wer,
conducted at Jonesboro this forenoon,
with throng of people from the coun
ty present including the count officials
members of the county court and many
former residents of Washington couety
who are present from various states
on account of the first Homecoming
week in the history of old Jones.
| boro-
Jhe Jonesboro Masonic lodge, one OF
the oldest in the state, was in charge
of the ceremonies, and placed in the
stone such records as had been prepared
for the purpose, including the relics
that had been taken from the old, cor
nerstone in the building recently torn
down.
The ceremonies were simple, but inn
pressive and attracted the interests of
hundreds of men and women who had
assembled in the town of numerous
historic memories.
The chief speakers on this occasion
were: Mr.. Nat Harris, a prominent
lawyer, of Macon, Ga, and Charles II.
Slack, associate editor of the Nashville
Democrat. Both Harris and Slack
first saw the light in this RECON, Har.
ris having been born on Cherokee creek
four miles east, while Slack, who is
son of the late State Senator, John
Slack, was born in the community.
Both speakers possessed many interest
ing memories of the old place, and
their praises to Jonesboro and to the
men and women who have gone from
the community were sung with ma
tive elequ9nce that is eminently char
acterstic of mountain-born men.
Music and other special features |
made the occasion one long to be re-
membered when the cornerstone for
the third court house was laid for this
history making town.
Following these ceremonies, the Wis.,
ting throng was rendered barbecue,
and the "beverage" for this occasion
was water from the "Old Mill Spring"
rom which no man ever drank that
lie did not come back to drink again,
IS local poet expressed it.
This was the one big event of the
week, and following it, the home COM
ng throng will journey to numerous
POINTS of historic interest.
The "Old Mill Spring" had been
decorated under the direction OF Mrs.
J. Fl. l.. Cooper and Mrs. r. w. Du-
aney until 1T was the most attractive
'lace in all the town. Several long
landed gourds hung from impromptu
and visitors whose hairs are
White were afforded other means of
them of their earlier days

1t is Conservatory estimated that
600 people were here from out of ,
own. Of this number perhaps 1900
'ere out of other counties, and at least
DO came from other states. The larg-
st crowd on single day was here
thursday. On that day the laying of
ne corner stone of the new court house
nd the free barbecue drew from the
counties.
