I. H. CAMPBELL'S
HOME BURNED
Fire Almost Entirely Consumes
the Dwelling Occupied by
Newport Editor.

AT noon Saturday, the home and a
portion of the contents belonging TO
T. H. Campbell, were destroyed by
fire. The flames started while Mrs.
Campbell was preparing the noon-day
meal, and the entire top portion of the
building was quickly in flames.
The local fire fighters hurried to the
scene but il was long rIp for them,
and the flames had practically con-
sumed the house before the lire
lighters were able 10 get stream on
the fire. There WAS fine pressure and
after the water had been turned on
the flames were quickly subdued.
A considerable portion of the furn-
ishings were saved.
The house and contents were insur-
eel for over 5000.

CONTEST FOR
SEAT IN COURT
New County Court VIII Hold It's
First Meeting Next
Monday.

The county court, composed mostly
of new members will hold it's first
meeting since the election, next Mon
day and while there will be consider
able routine business TO be discussed
the principal feature will be the con-
test for seat between Murray Stokely
aad Dave Burke, both of whom claim
TO have been elected in the last Au-
gust election.
1t will be remembered that the
judges announced on nthe night of the
count that Burke had been elected by
one vote, but when the election COM
missioners opened up the returns ii
showed the count should have been
tie.
There appeared in the ballots one
ticket which was illegally marked and
which was given TO the credit of Mr..
Burkeby both the judges and the elec-
tion officials, and the new county court
will be asked TO determine whether il
is a legal ballot or not, and If the
court decides thatit is illegal, the
court will show that Mr.. StokeIy has
majority of one vote and should
therefore be entitled to his seat.
The contest will be an interesting
one and it is predicted that the court
house will be crowded during the hear
ing of same

Jackson, Tenn, Sept. 27.-To large

from several counties, Colonel Roose-
velt expounded the progressive doc
times yesterday afternoon. ltwss his
only political speech of The day, forhis
address in Memphis before the Inter
state I4evee association, was Of a nom
partisan character. Last night he
went on his way TO New Orleans.
"Governor Hooper, the republican
executive of Tennessee, and a candidate
for reelection, was scored by Colonel
Roosevelt in his address here.

Roosevelt, ,"upon the attitude of the re-
publican nominee for governor, MI.
Hooper. Governor Hooper has an
nounced that some people think that
Mr.. Taft's nomination was stolen and
others do not. He said he was one Of
the latter. Now ] wish TO say with all
the emphasis in my power that every
;nteiligent man who chooses to look in
% the fact knows That Mr.. Taft's NOM
ination was stolen. There is no chance
to think anything else about it. l
Mr.. Hooper doesn't know it, il is be-
cause he doesn't tSke the trouble to
think.
"And another thing. Mr.. Hooper
has nominated for the position of tem-
p0ray senator of the United States

assisted in the theft. I refer 10 Mr..
Sanders. Mr. Sanders sat in The ma
tional committee with proxy and took
part i'm the scandaious conduct that re-
suited i'm stealing from the rank and
file of the republican party the ma
chinery of the party. In this way Mr..
Hooper forIeits his rights TO the sup
port of any honest man.
"Mr. Hooper went to convention
which first endorsed him and then il
endorsed Mr.. Wilson. This shows Mr..
Hooper's ambidextrous altitude.
"He is Mr.. Facing Both Ways

Votes and Ghosts
By Margaret NevinsOn-

1T was is the year Of grace 1920 and
the first general election since wo-
4 men had been granted the suffrage
Most of the male voters welcomed
the women good humOred1y as the
world always welcomes the successful,
and only a few old men grOwled out
curses familiar to the elder women,
who had worked in the stormy days Of
It was noticed that all the women
were sober.
booths strange things were happen
As the presiding officer described
it: Men seemed to have suddenly
gone mad, beating and fighting off
unseen enemies, or arguing frantically
with the empty air" He heard such
sentences as these: "Oh, heavens, be
qUiet!-I voted according to my con-
science. Go away, go away, how hor-
rible"
obi Mary have pityi Don't say
that I did not understand"
Others cursed and swOre horribly,
and some crossed themselves and NUT
tered a prayer These phenomena did
not manifest themselves to all the
voters; the women neither saw nor
heard anything, neither did the ma
jOrity of the male yOters-quite the
minority in fact were affected

the polling booth was haunted. The
crowd however, held that the suffer
ers were drunk
Several men tainted and others
were seized with a fit and foamed at
the mouth. one well known alienist
had a seizure and a policeman took
him in his own motor car to his own
asylum.
One man as he stood at the booth
was seen to be white and trembling,
n n
his face. He dropped the pencil and
ran for his life, followed by a great
crowd of police and bystanders. He
was run in for pocket picking, but
as no one could be found who had
lost a purse, he was remanded for the
state of his mind to be inquired into.

Horace Greedy became editor of the

chant editorials and sharp paragraphs
were copied by Wing journals
throughout ting country His paper
was a repository Of more campaign
slogans and political songs than any
other campaign paper ever brought
out. It mattered not that Johnson, the
vlceDreSldentlal candidate on the Dem
Ocratic ticket with his own hand had
slain Tecumseh, the chieftain for
whose defeat Harrison became Tip

hero class with Harrison at all, and
in spite Of the fact that his friends
tried to make the most of his feat,
the hero-Worship still continued with

~ n OCIObEh 20, I6uU, the newly
installed 18th century made good
- by producing a baby who was
promptly wrapped up IN the name OF
Thomas Darlington Macauley.
1t would take the ordinary baby 30
wears to grow up to a name OF this size,
but Thomas was no ordinary baby. He
had a two bushel head and large serious
ewes. and at the age Of,3 he was reading
the newspapers. At he was so skIlful
in debate that the only defence OF his
elders was to send him to bed by way
of rebuttal. At u he could compose IN
Latin and Greek and could pun IN i've
languages Even his enemies admitted
that Thomas Darlington Macauley would
grow up to be a big man and stretch ms
name all out of shape
And vet, with all MS magnificent
start MacaUley was a failure He failed
in his LIES ambition. which was to
write a history of England. He knew
Englands history by heart and had an
enormous stock of wel-OIled, easy run
ming words which people would rather
read than 90 a-flshlng- Yet he struggled
for 20 wears with his task and then
when he realized that he had only com
pleted Is wears of history and was live
years worse off than when he started,
he gave up and died. As a historian he
was one of the worlds greatest failures,
being 80 percent slower than time itself.
Men have failed from many causes,
but few have failed as Macauley did.
Tie failed because he was too internally
capable in too many WAYS. He was the
best essavist in England and a rafting
good journeyman poet. He was also a
spell binder politician and statesman
and could pack up on q hours notice
and run a colony with fair success All
of this was bad on the history business.
No sooner did he seat himself in a large
arm chair with four acres of references
around him and chapter two of his
forthcoming work on his knee waiting
to be finished than a magazine editor
or book publisher OF the Wing party OF a
prime minister would come around and
interfere. He had to stop his history
