UNeA EARTHQUAKES

Mrs. w. G. H, writing to the Gate
way from Unga, Alaska, Jan. 8.
This part of Alaska has been treated
to several "all-star" performances dur
ing the past month.
On the evening of December q, q
peculiar roaring sound, resembling dis
tant thunder, was heard. This was &C
companied by trembling OF tho earth
and for thirty hours there was con-
tinual roar and tremble, the monotony
of which was broken by occasional sx-
ira peals OF thunder.
Needless to say, the interest during
the entire performance was unflagging,
most Of us remaining awake all night
so as not to lose any Of the e1hilarating
effects of the vibratory motion, nor the
thrills caused by the sudden bursts OF
louder sound.
We had hardly gotten through ex-
planning to each other that we had not
been at all alarmed, but that we are
naturally emotional, when, on Dec. 30,
we experienced two of the hardest
earthquake shocks ever felt by the
"oldest inhabitant" The first one, at
$50 pm, began with very slight
trembling of the earth, which in
creased in magnitude until everything

on near Faxon for the past two
weeks with splendid results.
Cotton picking is almost over
as the crop is short. The new gin
at Faxon has done good business
this season.
We have fiourishing prayer
meeting and Sunday school at this
place. Everybody who will come
will receive hearty welcome.

ing the Christmas holidays.
The result of the election last
week seemed to satisfy the people
hereabouts. The election of vii.
son is tribute to the good judg-
ment and common sense of the
American people. The election of
Hooper is rebuke to the whisky
Gratis of Tennessee who want to
make the Democratic party whis-
ky party and fasten the saloon on
the people of our State.
ENty movement to put a ban
on the whisky traffic in our coun-
try is handicapped because the
hirelings of Uncle Sam" stands
behind the saloon keeper. This
being true, we must express our
opposition to the saloon at the bal
lot box by electipg men to Con-
gress who are in accord with us on
this subject. If every Christian
voter in the Eighth Congressional
District of Tennessee would vote
AS they pray, we would have an
open advocate in Congress of the
prohibition of the manufacture
and sale of spirltuous liquors in
the United States. Do you see
the point? Are you going to let
the whiskycrats lead you blindly
into the camp of Local Optionists?
"First be sure you are right and
then go ahead" is a mighty good
motto to follow, especially when
you are dealing in any way with
the foxy, watchful whiskycrat.
Will the editor permit me to say
a few words about the farce called
"Local Option" We have never
had local option in Tennessee, and
great many people are deceived
because they do not understand it..
The expression was coined by the
saloon keeper. When the saloon
keeper gets into tight place and
finds he is about to lose "his rights"
to conduct his unholy trade and
thus rob men of their vitality and
women and children of food aud
clothing, he makes great plea for
Local Option ! thinking and hop
ing that it may give him a longer
lease of time to continue his de-
grading business. just remember,
bud, that all whiskycrats are local
optionists, and don't let 'em fool
you again. They try TO justify the
plea for local option by saying it
is Democratic. They do this to
get the sympathy and aid of Dem
ocrats. In States where the Re-
publicans dominate they call it
Republicanism. Does the reader
think it is Democracy or Republi-
canism to license a known evil?
If you are opposed to the saloon,
don't let them deceive you with a
plea for local option.

The rules of baseball are expected

which has arisen thus far between

with one out and Il runner on first,
the hatsmnn hit for n home run. The
ball was thrown to the catcher, who
touched out the man who had evident
ly scored from first base. The umpire
called both runners out on the ground
that the runner from first had failed
to touch second base, and that the
hatsman vas out for following the
runner WHO had fPiled to touch one of
the bases.
Ward and President Lynch decided
that the umpire was right In declaring
both runners out Connolly says the
batsman should hc allowed to score,
FOR he was In no way responsible for
the action Of the runner ahead Of him
In not touching the bases In order.
