INFORMATION GIVEN
BY THE SOUTHERN

/ Chicago, Nov. 9. Great interest
about the Southeastern states was
p. aroused by the exhibits made this fall
10y lhc Southern Railway System at
| Northern fairs and eXpositions, ever a
quarter Of million desirable people
seeking and receiving information re
gardng the resources and opportuni-
| ties OF the Southeast, according to re-
ports receiving from representatives of
the railway in charge Of the exhibits.
The various exhibits made extended
over a period Of two m ntEs and in
cluded the country north of the Ohio
river from New York and Pennsylvan-
ia to Inwa. There were twenty seven
separate exhibits made at district and
county fairs in the northern states in
addition to a fine display put in at the
Canadian International Exhibition at
Toronto. The exhibits everywhere at
tracted attention. AS rule visitors
pronounced them finer than those
made by local exhibitors, and it was
usual to hear the statement from
man that he had no idea that the
Southeast was country of such Won
deTful resources and opportunities.
The fine displays of fruit, of corn,
wheat and other grains, and the show
ing about other products of the South
ern soil were things that especially y |
appealed to great numbers of Northern
farmers.
Not less than two representatives of
the Southern Railway and its assoc
lated lines were present at each OF these
explaining conditions in the
Southeast and the opportunities offer
ed to the homesecker as well as the at
traction of the Southern country for
investors or for visitors. Reports of
these agents show that the total at
tendance at the various fairs and eX-
hbits visited amounted to over 1850,
100 people, that about 100000 visited
.he Southern Railway exhibits, 10000
people were personally talked with
about the Southeast and nearly $50,
)O0 copies of literature advertising this
section were distributed. In addition
10 these exhibits special dairy exhibits
were made at the Chicago and Water {
loo, Iowa, exhibitions, and a special
exhibit on live stock opportunities {
will be made at the international Live /

OFFICE PROPOSED FOR

United States is now being suggested
Without even consulting Mr.. Cole.
man, who is one of the leading attor.
neys at the bar of Chattanooga, GER
tain Chattanooga lawyers standing
high in their profession started out
Monday morning with petitions call
ing upon President-elect Wilson to ap-
point Mr.. Coleman to this high office.
Signers were numerous, and the move
m mt bids fair to gain impetus if per-
sisted in.
The office of solicitor general of the
United States is the highest under the
attorney general, it might be said
the ranking assistant of the attorney
general and frequently assumes the
duties of the cabinet Office.
Mr.. Coleman IS ambition to be United
States district attorney for East Tenn
essee is we'll known. He may not ask
for higher place on account of his
customary diffidence and the fact that
he was class mate of President elect
Wilson. He led the fight for Wilson
here, and his friends insist he should
have an office whose dignity and re-
muneration are both compatible with
the ability and deserts of the man.
Therefore they cannot think of Mr..
Coleman as being anything smaller
than solicitor general of the United
States.

CONVENTION TO
DISCUSS GOOD ROADS.

"On to Atlanta" is now the slogan
of the COED roads enthusiasts of thG
Southern Appalachian states. 1t ii
expected that large number of dele,
gates will assemble at this convention
to discuss road problems connected
with the work in these states and the
building of interstate highways.
The Chamber of Commerce Of Allan.
Ia has made arrangements for an auto
mobile drive over the roads of Fulton
county. This splendid system of roads
covering $50 miles, is famous through
out the South and The delegutes will
no doubt derive much pleasure and
profit from a drive over portion of
this splendid system. This drive will
terminate in luncheon, to be rendered
by the Chamber of Commerce, the
county Commissioners, and citizens
of Atlanta.
Another feature of the convention
which will bc interesting and instruc-
tive will be lecture by DR.. s. w.
McCallie, state Geologist of Georgia,
illustrated by stereoptican views, the
snbject being "The Roads of the
Southern Appalachian Country"
An interstate road which will be
discussed at this convention is the
Memphis Bristol highway, this high
way joining the Bristol Washington
highway, at Bristol, Tennessee. This
great highway is 602 miles long, run
ming through the length of Tennessee,
passes through 23 counties, .and touches |
Y incorporated towns. In its location |
the best of the three sections of the |
state are touched, and with its con-
struction the rapid growth of these
sections will inevitably follow. This
highway, like the central highway of
North Carolina, is being built by the
counties through which it passes and
in most instances throughout its en-
tire length the work has received the
. ithusiastic and substantial support
Of each county. The money has been
raised most frequently by bond issue
and in nearly every instance the peo-
pie voted the bond issue readily.
Among the prominent speakers who
ire expected TO make addresses at this
,)nvention is Senator Jonathan
Bourne of Oregon, who is chairman of
he Committee on Post Offices and
POST Roads, and who is making a very
.areful and accurate study of road con-
ltions in the country with the object
If making a report to the senate in re-

FIND TRAIL OF
SLUSH FUND
VOTE WAS INCONSISTENT
Despite Increase IN Population and
Presence of Presidential Interest
Predictions are Away Off

What WAS it that caused certain
counties in the Fifth and Seventh
Congressional districts to throw their
old-time Democratic majorities into
the Republican column and thus de-
feat the Democratic nominees?
This question perhaps more than
any other has been asked in political
circles since the election of last Tues
day, and the answers have been many
East Tennessee came forward with a
| larger democratic vote than has been
known in recent years. Hooper fell so
far short of his vote in East Tennessee
of two years ago that had Middle Ten
years ago Democracy would have won
in walk. But such was not the re-
suit in the middle division
Giles county four yeaas ago gave
Patterson more than 1900 majority;
two years ago Taylor carried it by
more than 1000 over Hooper. This
year Hooper carried Giles by over 800
majority. Maury county gave Patter-
son four years ago a majority of al
most 1900. Taylor carried Maury by
about 300, while Hooper carried it this
year by little less than 200. On the
other hand, Wilson carried Giles by
nearly 1,5O0 and Mauryby more than
1850. TO say the least, this would
naturally appear to be rather inconsis-
tent voting, add it is argued by Demo-
Gratis that it is Il condition which does
not come of a normal condition, or as
resnlt of State issue, since the vote
over the State showed an increase for
Democracy.
Plenty of Slush Fond.
In this connection it may be said
that democrats generally are charging
gross frauds and the excessive use of
money in these two counties. Many
assertions have been made by people
who claim to have been in these coun-
ties on the day of the election to the
effect that negroes were permitted TO
vote on 1910 poll tax receipts, and also
that as high as $25 was paid for votes
and workers. This, of course, is given
for what it is worth, but such state
ments have been freely made since the
election.
just whose money was used, if any
was used, no one appears willing to say
but the fact that the vote stood about
the same for Hooper, Padgett and the
Independent candidates for the legis-
lature would make it appear that the
money was pooled for a common slate
which it was desired to push through
