Value Of Soil Will Be One of the
Principal Lessons of Conser-

KNOXVILLE, July 12.-ReaIizing
! that land is primarily the basis Of
4 all wealth and that from the land
must come food and clothing for
/ the present and future generations,
| the management Of the National Con-
! servation Exposition has prepared for
! the greatest land show ever held in
the South and one Of the greatest
land shows ever held anywhere.
! Scientists say that the land Of the
| United States must be conserved,
must be nurtured and cared for, must
be nursed and doctored and in no
wise maltreated If the nation is to
maintain its present proud position at
the head Of all the nations OF the
earth.
Tremendous Land Building.
It is to teach the lesson Of the
necessity Of conserving lands, as well
as Of teaching the lessons of conser-
walton of other resources, that the
National Conservation Exposition
comes into being. In the big new
land building on the exposition
grounds the land show will be held
The land building. completed to the
last nail, is one of six big exposi-
ton buildings erected for the Con-
| servation Exposition. Attached to il
| Is an annex with an auditorium that
| will seat 5000 persons The United
| States Government display I'm the
| land building as well as State displays
Will be particularly fine and compre-
| hensive. The exposition will open on

| November I.
Merchants to Visit Fair.
| incidentally, Knoxville is planning
great boosting campaign to be con-
| Quoted in connection with the ex-
position.
Fifteen thousand merchants and
| jobbers in the territory contiguous
to Knoxville have been invited to visit
the city while the exposition is on.
| The invitations have been sent out by
| the Commercial Club of Knoxville
| The entertainment of these out-of-
| town buyers is part Of a general
| boosting movement that is astir in
Knoxville and has been inspired by
| the exposition. The merchants and
| JObbers of Knoxville are making ev-
| cry effort to extend their trade and
| figure that while the exposition is in
| progress there will be a large influx
! Of visitors into the city. Hence the
plan of inviting the outside merchants
| to Knoxville AcceptanCes to the in
l vitations are being received rapidly.

PONY CONTEST /
CANDIDATES To
MEET IN PARK
Boys and Girls Will Be Enter
tanned by Manager of Race at
Grant Playground.

Boys and girls in The Georgian and
American pony contest will enjoy an
informal gathering at Grant Park
Sunday afternoon. at the invitation
of the contest manager. The ponies
will be on hand, and there will be
rides and drives for all who care to
enjoy this pleasure.
Parents of the contestants are par
ticularly invited. The contest ma7-
ager is anxious to meet them and to
discuss with them ways and means
of helping the contestants through
the last few days of the race. Six
before the contest ends. Six davs
only remain during which the bonus
offer is in effect.
Race Keeps Close.
There is no candidate who can
claim yet to be a winner. There is
not enough difference between the
leaders and the tail-enders so that
any one can say who will get a pony.
This is as it should be. 1t makes
the contest interesting up to the very
last.
The bonus offer should inspire ev-
cry contestant There are 10000 ex-
ira votes to be awarded for every
club of $35 turned in for subscrip-
tions 1880 extra votes will be Civ
en- for every club of $25 and 5000
for every club of SIS.
Assuming that a contestant turned
in six yearly subscriptions; he would
turn in $3.50, and be credited with
q 900 votes. In addition he would
be credited with $35 club. and 20
600 extra votes in consequence. In
other words. the voting power under
such circumstances would almost be
doubled-41000 votes for $3.50 in
subscriptions. But the beauty of this
club offer is that the clubs need not
be made up Of yearly subscriptions.
They can be made up of short term
subscriptions, even one month trial
orders.
Should Use Every Effort.
The contestant who does not
strain every nerve to take advantage
of this chance is foolish, and is not
doing his full duty to himself, or to
the friends who are aiding him.
Sixteen more working days only re-
main. The strain of the contest soon
will be over, and the contestants may
take a well-earned rest. Naturally,
| ii will be much more fun to rest ald
recreate with the aid of a pony and
cart than to rest, thinking of defeat.
That is why the next two weeks
should be crammed with effort, and
we'll directed effort.
Keeping everlastingly at it brings
success" says the contest manager
and he is right.

FRANK JAMES
SPENDING LAST
YEARS At HOME
Former Famous Bandit Traced
Back to Missouri Farm Where
Brother Jesse Is Buried,

DENVER. July 12.-Within the last
few months there have come many
stories regarding Frank James, the
one-time bandit. Frank James has
died in oregon, California and few
other States, he has gotten religion"
in the East, and he has been active
generally. And the queer part about
it is that he is alive and in good
health, and is spending his last days
on the old James farm q. few miles
from Kearney No.. where Jesse
James is buried
Brings Citizens Statement.
This is the information that is
brought TO Denver by L. Wright, a
motion picture proprietor, who re-
Gently made a visit to the farm in
Missouri. When he returned he
brought a statement with him, signed
by various citizens Of Kearney, and
which reads as follows:
To Whom 1t May Concern:
This is to certify that we, the
following citizens of Kearney,
Clay County, Missouri, hereby af-
firm that we are personally ac-
quainted with the original Frank
James, brother of Jesse James,
and that he is now enjoying good
health and is living on the old
James homestead about three
miles northeast of this city, and
we Furthermore state that he is
an honored and respected citizen
of this community. =
Il went back to get Mr.. James
opinion regarding law and order" Mr..
Wright said. Il am the proprietor of
a set of Jesse James pictures and
had received the criticism that they
were not moral ! contended exactly
the opposite-that they showed the
bad effects Of a life of crime. So ]
went back TO get some expression
from Frank James on it. He told me
this
James Maintains Innocence.
IF anyone thinks he can violate
the law and make a success Of it,
consider him insane, and his finish
will be the gallows or the peniten-
tiary.'"
Frank James contends that he was
innocent of all the charges of out
lawry placed against him. He points
to his acquittal as evidence.

What is this but a crazy incite-
ment to murder?
Governor Brown concludes his
speech by eXtOlling the action of
the militia in killing three non-of-
Tending citizens of Augusta during
the street ear strike, a short time

lives, the militia, who ruthlessly
and unlawfully shot these innocent
victims down in cold blood, are
guilty of manslaughter.
These people were not connected
with the strike. They were simply

had established an imaqinary, or
unmarked, dead line" There was
nothing of a physical nature TO
show that any such dead line" had
been ordered or fixed, and no pre-
Nious warning was given them, or
known command given to halt.
Nothing in this whole wretched
speech shows more ConyincingIy
Governor Browns true bent of
mind than this laudation of half
cooked, irresponsible militia. Gov
ernor Brown is another Glasscock
OF West Virginia, types of men who
would violate Federal and State
constitutions by eXalting the mill
tary above the civil powers. He
would substitute military rule for
civil government, running ruthless
~ counter to the very spirit and
letter Of republican institutions.
Legislation Is Dangerous.
The act of 1912 is the most in
sldiously dangerous piece of legis-
lauon ever enacted in Georgia. The
hrst bloody fruits of such legisla-
ton were made terribly manifest at
Augusta: What locality will SUI
fer next?
The Augusta massacre should be
investigated by a legislative com
mittee.
The worhngmen, particularly of
the South, being ito the manner
born object TO having their labor
regulated by bullets and bayonets
as did their fathers powerfully re-
volt against Federal bayonets and
bullets, regulating their ballots dur
ing Reconstruction days.
We of the South, labOrers and
capitalists alike, and other classes
of citizens, are of good old Amer
lean stock, a homogeneous people,
songs of Revolutionary sires, peo-
pie who won't submit to military
asCendenCy over the civil authori-
ties.
In conclusion, we beg to say that
while organized labor has its faults
what institution or organization
has not?) il is the only practical
method yet devised by man which
measurably protects and upliftS the
working classes, and until some bet
ter plan be devised il viii continue
70 be the greatest power for good
to the toilers of the civilized world.
And It has no apologies to make
to the Browns. and Posts. and Kir-
bys and Parrys, and others who let
their spleen beCloud their judg-
ments and embItter their hearts.

NEW YORK, July 12.-Pauline
Frederick, the actress wife Of Frank
NJ. Andrews the well-known archi-
tect, who last autumn returned to
her beloved profession, bent upon re-
establishing herself as one of the
leading women on the American stage,
is playing a real life part similar TO
that of Sarah in The Little Prin-
cess" it was learned yesterday.
The sudden change of social station
for this beautiful young woman, she
declared yesterday to a reporter for
The Sunday American, is because her
rich husband is in some business
trouble and has failed to provide
properly for her maintenance. She
still resides in a handsome apartment.
but even this is to be given up just
as soon as the lease expires.
Where she will then reside she does
not know and won't know for some
time. 1t depends upon the income she
will make hereafter and also upon
settlement with her husband.
There have been continuous rumors
for several months that Mr.. and Mrs
Andrews were legally separated This
is not so. They are living in separate
apartments.

through a garden of roses. Mr.. An

companion of a stage celebrity, but
after our marriapa he soon let me
know that he objected to being looked
upon merely as Pauline Frederick's

Last fall I decided to go back 20
