Patton Chapel,

| Special 10 Ue NezVS.
Winter has come with a vengeance.
Prof. T. A. Boone was in Chatta-
nooga Saturday.
Sewer jackson took several bushels
of corn to Fuller's grist mill at Wau-
hatchie Saturday.
Farmers are gathering corn in this
section. and report fairly good crop
Several in the mountains below here
whose land was subject to overflow
from the lock and dam, gathered
their crop two or three weeks ago.
Are you thinking of shouldering
your gun, trotting down to Mexico
and shooting few "greasers' This
may or may not happen, but if it does
there will be no occasion for yourhelp.
Sunday the snow fell all day and the
wind blew fiercely from the cold re-
gions of the north. Spare ribs. corn
bread and molasses are now in fashion.
Hunters were plentiful here last
week, and some partridges were re-
ported killed The law does not allow
birds killed until after the 18th of this
month unless you pay fine of not
less than $25. 90. These birds should
not be killed anyway, for there is not
a greater friend to the farmer than
they. These ungrateful, heartless,
city folks who know nothing of the
quail and his habits, should not be al
lowed to hunt in your fields. Keep
them out and enjoy bountiful crop
next season.
The reuort was current here last
week that the Holiness people intend
coming to this place to preach. 1t al
so was said that some intended burst
ing down the doors Of the Baptist
Church, since they have been denied
the Chapel. The people here do not
favor Holy Rollerism, hence the deni-
al of the use of the church house.
True christianity is not practiced in
the way the Holiness people would
have, and it is no great sin that they
are not allowed in some communities.
We have yet to see that chapter IN the
Bible wherein talking in the "un-
known tongue" and the giving up of
all sin, is proven.
Prohibition, by the jug fulls, is be-
ing shipped into the county now. The
meaning of the word prohibition seems
to be hard to understand by many of
our political friends.
That saw mill. for this burg, has
failed to msterialize. The Etna
company, it seems. wanted all tops,
brush and unused timber burned, and
the contractors, seeing this would be
too expensive. gave no the idea OF
bringing their mill-here.
Wild ducks ara plentiful now. The
Tennessee River is fairly ahoat with
them and motor boats these days.

CORN CLUB CONTESTS
10 MAKE REPORTS

The result of the corn growing con
test in Marion county this year is still
to be reported. Alan S. Kelly. of
South Pittsburg, is actively in charge
of the matter and will soon make re-
port of the result. He says that eight
have written him that they will be in
the contest at its close, and want their
corn crop to De examined by compe
tant judges for rating in the contest.
Quite number of others entered the
race, but by reason of the unusually
severe drouth wele practically put out
of the contest. The crops are now be-
ing gathered and in few weeks the
prize winning acres will be announ-
ced.

PROPOSED DAM
ACROSS RIVER
Work at Cansy Creek and

Negotiations Already
Under Way.

! CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Nov 4.
Every indication points to the i'm
mediate Inauguration of work by the
government engineers upon the pro-
posed dams across the Tennessee river
at Caney creek and Belle Fonte island.
| The two dams are to be constructed
with view to facilitating to great
er extent navigation upon the Tennes-
see river. Actual construction work
upon the two projects in question
would have been begun long ago had
it not been for the fact that the engin-
eers encountered so much difficulty
in discovering suitable foundations for
the dams 1t has required months and
months of drilling near Kingston and
near the point where the Tennessee
crosses the Alabama state line to de-
termine upon the actual sites.
According to statement by Maj.
Harry Burgess at Nashville, work
will be begun just as soon as practical
BILE and negotiations are already un-
der way for the purchase of the neces-
sary land. For the Caney creek dam
an appropriation of 5000, 600 has al.
ready been made, while $2S5, 600 has
been set aside for the Belle Fonte pro-
iect, The compIetion of these two
dams, together with the lock and dam
at Hales bar, which has eliminated

provements, will render the Tennessee

RECORD COAL SHIP
MENTS AT WHlTWELL

WHITWELL, Tenn, Nov. 10. A
new record in coal shipments has been
established at Whitwell, the most
prominent mining centre of this coun-

for two days in succession. These
mines are working splendidly turning
out large amounts of coal with ease,
owing to the installation of improved
machinery in recent years.

TRACING NAVY GRAFT.
Suspicion That Others Than Stewards
Are involved.

Washington, Jan. 24.-Graft in the
selling of supplies to the navy de-
partment as disclosed by the investi-
cation by the department of justice
and naval authorities, may extend to
according to statements made by off,
Gals, Wednesday.
Conspiracy among contractors fur
nishing food supplies TO the navy is
alleged and the inquiry has been di-
rected along this line. There is sus-
picion that the contractors at the va
rious stations, including New York,
Newport, Boston, Philadelphia and
other cities, are in a conspiracy to ex-
act the highest possible prices for in
ferior supplies. Such a system of
graft among contractors for other
work has been discovered, and it is
regarded as highly probable that the
same method of fleeing Uncle Sam is
employed in furnishing supplies for
the navy.
There VIII be no prosecution of en-
p.oyes who tell of their connection with
the suspected system The acting
secretary of the navy. Beekman Win
throp, is determined TO bring all brib-
ers t. justice, and in this he has the
full support of Attorney General Wick
ersham.
Short weight is one means of de-
frauding the government out of thou
sands of dollars year, according to
Mr.. Winthrop. The substitution of in
ferior products is another scheme. AL
together, it is estimated, the govern
ment is defrauded of more than $1,G00,
600 a year.
The plan of the department of jus
tice is 20 prevent evidence to grand
juries in half a dozen cities about the
same time. 1t is thought enough evil
dence will be available in two or three

COOPERATIVE SHOP FAILS.
Summit, NJ. j., Enterprise Dies After
Two Months Struggle.

Summit, n. j., Jan. 24.-The Summit
Cooperative store. which was backed in
part by some of the wealthiest women in
the city, has gone into voluntary bank
ruptcy. \ sheriff's representative has
been in charge of the store for few
days. but, Wednesday. bankruptcy pro-
ceedings We're instituted. The liabilities
are about $1,000, and the assets about $1,000.
1t is expected that the United States
court in Trenton will appoint a receiver.
When the store was started, about two
months ago, a good profit was promised
to buyers of stock The paid in capital
stock was $3.50
Business was good at first, but it grad
ually fell off until practically all the
clerks We're dismissed a few days ago.
An effort to get the present stockholders
TO increase their holdings was unsuccess-
ful. The Woman's Town Improvement
Association was appealed to, but it re-
fused to put money into the venture, al
though 1t gave the store its moral sup
port.
Mrs Lemuel Skidmore. a wealthy resi-
dent of the city, had bought a book of
coupons from the store, and when she
heard that the enterprise might fail she
attempted to redeem the coupons. but the
sheriffs representative refused to allow
goods TO leave the store unless they were
paid for with cash.

one broker advertised by means of q
sign carried through the New York finan-
cial district during the noon hour that
he purchased printed uneanceiled post
cards. This resulted. it is said, in many
Office boys stealing cards from their en-
ployers and selling them to him for IS
cents hundred The printed portion of
the cards then was skillfully covered by
the broker with piece of thin paper
and the cars resold.
The culpable broker, according TO his
admission to the inspectors, sold during
the last two years more than 100000
postal cards, many of which were stolen
by Office boys.
The department redeems postal cards
from original purchasers at IS per cent.
of their face value. A few weeks ago a
member of Congress and former deputy
commissioner of police of New York City,
requested the third assistant postmaster
general to redeem over a million cards
for a constituent of the congressman. In
quiry by inspectors developed the fact
that the cards were the property of a
stamp broker, whose business is declared
by the department officials to be clearly
illegitmate.
