WORK OF THE BEAVERS

The beavers not only cut down
trees for the purpose of making dams,
but also use the smaller upper
branches as storage supply of food
for winter USE These branches, from
two to four diches in diameter, are
cut into lengths of two or three feet
and then by wonderful engineering
ability, are carried beneath the wa
ter and into the beavers houses, or
the burrows, with which the bank of
every beavers dam is honeycombed.
There they are carefully stored. The
green bark IS the staple article OF
food throughout the winter. The dams
are of varying height and length, &C.
cording to the particular location. A
dam was found in Mesa county, Col
orado, which was just six feet from
bottom TO top and impounded body
of water six feet or more in depth and
covering an area Of several acres.
This dam was perfect in construction.
1t was cor posed entirely of willow

WILL HE GET HIS HAITI

The Colonel throwing his hat in the
ring brings to mind an incident in the
life of old man Smith, who lived up in
Hardin county, Ky, not far from
Elizabethton.
Smith was a plain, hard working
farmer, but occasionally he would go
to town for days fun, and his pro-
gramme of frolic was the swapping of
horses and the drinking of corn whis-
key.
His wife was opposed to liquor, and
particularly opposed to her husband
drinking liquor.
Smiths way of testing his wife's
frame of mind on his return home was
to throw his hat into the family living
room. If his hat was thrown back 10
him by Mrs. Smith, he went to the
barn and slept during the night If
the hat was not tossed back, he follow
ed it, and spent the night in the house
It would be interesting to know what
the Republican party will do with the
Colonel's hat, Memphis Commercial
Appeal.

DR.. GEO. R. DUNCAN
VISITS THE CITY.

DIR. Geo. r. Duncan, of Fall Branch,
was in the city last week to attend the
East Tennessee Teachers Association,
because of his belief in educational adj
vancement. While here he told his
friends that he had decided to ask the
democrats to nominate him for repre-
sentative in the general assembly OF
Tennessee. If he receives the nomina-
ton at the hands of the democracy OF
Washington county he will of course
stand upon the democratic platform
as adopted at the state convention,
but he has some advanced ideas of his
own. He believes in an audit System
for the state instead of revenue agents
and back tax attorneys; he would
abolish the fee system and put all
county officials on a salary basis; he
would vote all the money needed for
schools up to one-third the gross rev.
enues of the state and so divide it as to
literally provide for the Normals; he
favors compulsory education and
stands for good roads; would let the
white people settle the liquor question
for themselves and stand for the re-
election of Senator Taylor. Dr. Dun
can is well known in the county and
will be strong candidate in the con-
vention and later before the people.

SENATORIAL COMMITTEE
ADOPTS REVOLUTIONS

A big crowd of politicians from the
first senatorial district assembled here
yesterday for the purpose of naming
time place and manner for nominating
republican candidate for the state
senate and a candidate for floater
The committee adjourned to meet again
at this place on April 18th.
The executive committee meeting
was at times very story. Hardly had
the meeting been called to order when
A. b. Bowman, a prospective candi'
date and chairman of the Massey con.
vention at Greenville, made speech
charging the committee with unfair
methods and attempting TO railroad
through their order of business.
The chairman, Pierce w. Julian,
was not present and the committee
was called to order by Z. J. Vaught,
the secretary. r. L. Donnelly, the
member from Carter county, placed A.
b. Bowman in nomination for tempo
rary chairman. Mr.. Bowman receiv-
ed two votes, three being cast against
him. Then Hon. II. Il. Donnally, of
Mountain City, was placed in nomi-
nation and elected. 1t was at this
point that Mr.. Bowman proceeded to
make his remarks.
Harmony resolutions were introduce
ed by L. j. Vaught looking to uniting
the two committees and carried by

men on the committee voting for the

THE GREATEST OF
AMERICAN PLAYS

Among the numerous achievements
of "Paid in Full" which have totalled
for the Eugene Walter play the most
wonderful record of popular success in
theatrical history, striking feature S
its career in New York city. In the
comparatively short time since its
first production on Broadway, "Paid
in Full" has been presented in Great
er New York by five different COM
panies. Never had such thing been
heard of until "Paid in Full" scored
the feat, thereby adding to the abund-
ant evidence that this drama has a
surer and stronger hold on the public
than any other offered on the Amer
lean stage. 1t is well known that
''Paid in Full leaped in night to
sensational and enduring New York
success, and attained famous run of
two years duration. Inasmuch as no
other drama-no play except frothy
musical affair-had ever held out in
summer in New York, the run of
"Paid in Full" was the more brilliant
from lasting straight through the sum
mer. Meantime, realizing its tremen-
dous drawing power and influenced
by the call for the play from all sect
ions of the country, the Wagenhals &
Kemper Company, its producers,
formed four more companies. This
was going beyond anything ever at
tempted with one play, but results
proved the wisdom of the course. In
New York despite its long run, "Paid
in Full" continued the strongest at
traction on Broadway. Nothing else,
not even the big stars, dimmed its
briliancy. Then, one after another,
the other "Paid in Full" companies
were called to New York, where in
turn they were required to play the
Greater New York theatres. Often
other engagements were cancelled to
satisfy the New York demand, until |
every one of the five companies APP
pearing in sPaid in Full" could justly
claim the proud title of a New York
cast. Nor could the most discriminate
ing critics praise one company above
another, so admirably had the Wagon
halls & Kemper Company selected the
various players from the separate or
CARNATIONS, therefore those Ewho go to
Memorial Hall when "Paid in Full''
is there, will see this celebrated and
justly popular play acted by COM
pany that has the distinction of hav-
ing scored a New York hit. Prices 35

DAKOTA ARTESIAN WELLS

East of the Missouri river, In South
Dakota, more than 900 artesian wells
now exist, drawing their water from
the supply carried by the underlying
sandstone formation, and supposed to
come from the Black hills and the
Rocky mountains. These wells, used
mainly for irrigation purposes, are
from 900 to 1000 feet deep, and the
pressure of water in the eastern part
of the state is sufficient to give a sur
face flow, except on the highest lands.
One well yields 1922 gallons a minute,
and furnishes power for a flour mill
by day and for an electric light plant
by night. The development of this
source Of water supply is still going
forward.

There is nothing the matter with the
primary plan provided by the regular
democratic committee. The trouble is
with a few people who will not take
the medicine. The plan of the "edit-
ors promises nothing better. Suppose
1913 editors did respond to Albrights
telegram asking them if they endorsed
the harmony plan, not all of them en-
dorsed it and if they had, it is only
the opinion of 1913 men and does not
necessarily speak for anyone else. 1t
has only been short time since it
was loudly urged that 103 newspapers,
or about that figure were - favor of
certain candidates but the people were
largely against them. Ii by 10 means
follows that the newspapers correctly
represent the people in their commun-
ity. The people can harmonic as
well under the Regular plan as they
can under the EDITORS plan, and if
urged to do so instead of being en-
couraged not to do so, practical har-
mony would result. There will never
be harmony as long as there is agita-
ton, especially with every new agita-
tor proposing something different. The
Comet would prefer an old time del
egated convention, held under the two
thirds rule, but to meet existing condi-
tons the executive committee provid-
ee for a primary and that settles it SO
far as we are concerned. All we want
now is big democrat for governor,
McAllister for instance, and all will be
we'll.
