bill to declare saloons nuisance passed by 70 to Is.
In the senate the vote cast against the three ranged
from two five All of the bills had been endorsed Democratic

7. + N. c. ROAD
MAKES EXTENSION
New Station Added to the Pigeon
River Division, Giving Road
Four More Miles.

Canton, Oct. .2O.-Beginning
November 1, freight and passen-
ger trains of the tennessee and
North Carolina railroad will run
to Spruce, four miles above Sum
burst Superintendent w. J..
Parks was here during the first of
the week, from Newport, and he
announced that the new schedule,
with trains all the way to Spruce;
win be inaugurated the first of the
month.
Since the T. e N. C. railroad
started business about year ago,
new additions have been added
from time to time. Many improve
ments to the service have been
made until the road into the
mountains furnishes as up to date
service as is given on any larger
road in this part of the country.
Since the legislature adjourned
without making any oyertures to
the Transcontinental railroad, it is
believed that the T. & N. C. rail
road will be finished from the Ten
nessee line here. The road from
here to Sunburst is in good con-
dition and the Newport Waterville
extension is said to be very prof
liable. Whether or not the
Transcontinental people give up
the project, it is considered very
probable that the I. & N. C will
be built from Waterville to Can
ton at an early date.

legislative struggle in the history
OF Tennessee the independent
democrats and republicans of the
fifty-eighth general assembly in
JOINT conference assembled, send
greetings to their constituents
and supporters all over the state.
For nearly ten months, with
but slight intermission, we have
commended with the forces of law
lessness and their agents and rep
resentativeS.
Our victory has not been COM
plete, but it has been nearly so as
was possible under the .ircum-
stances.
Although the so-called regular
democratic platform did not even
make mention of tine laws, and did
not directly or indirectly ask for
their amendment or appeal the
liquor interest demanded their de-
struction. There were enough
men in the legislature pledged to
the maintenance of the election
law of 1909 to have prevented it's
repeal, but the violation of pledges
and the betrayal of constituents
resulted in an effort to amend this
law. This resulted in the filibust-
er and the attempt to pass new
election law without a quorum.
Under this rump election law, the
election boards in nearly every
county in this state were solidly
packed with two democrats and a
republican or ex-republican con-
trolled by the liquor interests. 1t
remains Tor the supreme court to
pass upon the validity of this law.
The law enforcement measures to
which we were pledged were Bit
terly and presistently fought by
the regulars. AT the regular ses-
sion they were prevented from
passing by a parliamentary fill
buster. The legislature was kept
in session for many months for
the sole puporse Of preventing the
calling of special session by the
governor of Tennessee, to consid-
er the law enforcement bills.

in THE HANDS
OF RECEIVER
Is the Greeneville Chair Factory
Company, Which Supported
1,50O People.

Greeneville, Tenn, Oct. 49,
Many of the citizens of Greene
vile were surprised to learn of the
temporary embarrassment of the
Greeneville Chair Factory COM
panv. This company was the most
extensive manufacturing enter
prise in Greeneville and employed
about 300 hands. These sup
ported population of nearly
fifteen hundred people, according
to the usual method of estimation,
The company operated two differ
emf plants in the town and the
output was about 1000 chairs per
day. These found a ready sale
with orders ahead all the time.
The company owned property
worth more than 100000, and in
fact carried insurance on its build
ings and machinery of $4,000.
But conducting this large business
the capital stock was only $25, 900.
For some time the company has
proposed to convey one of the
plants to another company which
has been forming, and it was re-
ported and thought that this had
been accomplished several days
since, but this was a mistake. II
appears that the Indebtedness of
the company is more than $780,
600, while the assets will consider
ably exceed this sum.
Yesterday. a bill was filed in
chancery, intended to be a general
creditors bill, asking that a re-
ceiver be appointed to take charge
of the company's property. 0. B.
Coyett, clerk and master, was APP
pointed as such receiver. 1t is
probable, and in fact hoped by all
persons here, that the financial
troubles may be soon adjusted

FREE TREATMENT
FOR HOOKWORM
Dispensaries to Be Located in
Various Sections of the
County

DR.. w. P. Robinson of the State
Board of Health is now conduct
ing free dispensaries in Cooke
county for the examination and
treatment of hookworm disease.
For the next few weeks dispersal
ries will be run at the following
places:
Del Rio, Monday, October 20, 81
and November 8.
Bybee, Tuesday, October 81, %
and November 4
Holloway, Wednesday, October
%, 20 and November 5.
Parrottsville, Thursday, October
%, 80 and November 6.
Peanut, Friday, October "a, 81
and November 8.
Newport, Saturday, October %
and November | and 8.
1t requires two or three months
to work a county and before the
work is completed in Cooke county
DR.. Robinson hopes to visit every
community in the county. The
papers should be watched care
fully for dates and the people
should bring their children to the
dispensaries and be examined.
Enough work has already been
done in this county to prove that
the disease is very prevalent, and
in school children it is found that
the percentage run as high as rs
per cent. AT Parrottsville on Fri
day this percentage was main
tanned.
Now, to summarize the three
ways of getting hookworms into
our bowels. The worm goes down
our oesaphagus or gullet in either
way we get them. If they get on
the skin and go through they are
finally coughed up and swallowed.

teregts do not elect men in the

the work just done.
The meeting was really re-
markable expression (Of the good
feeling existing among the fusion
lists and abounded in Fluctuations
and compliments.
Governor Hooper was present
ed with a boquet of flowers and
was called on for a speech which
aroused great enthusiasm.
Speaker White Of the senate, at
the governors suggestion, reciev-
ed the warmest thanks of the
body, in response he paid high
compliment to the governor and
stated that he was present at the
meeting at which it has been
charged that Governor Hooper
entered into an agreement to kill
the law enforcement bills, and
and that the Governor had made
no such agreement. His state
ment was endorsed by acclama-
ton.
Major Stahlman, praised as the
man who had done most for and
asked least of the fusionists, was
thanked by a rising vote for his
service, and a vote of confidence,
in his integrity in the fight was
unanimously adopted. He repli-
ed in a rousing speech. Ser

GOOD ROADS

Association Organized

W. D. McSWEEN CHAIRMAN

The Cooke County Good Roads
Association was organized at the
court house Friday, with w. D.
McSween as chairman and Hubert
Anderson as secretary. About
twenty-five of the representative
citizens were present and there
was much enthusiasm.
Delegates were named to rep
resent the association at the APP
palachian Good Roads Association.
which meets in Asheville October
% and %.
The president Of the Appalachian
association had already named G.
IF. Smith, w. D. McSween and W..
lB. Robinson as delegates to the
meeting, and the delegates OF the
local association will join with
these three in giving Cooke county
good representation at the meet
ing. Any citizen who desires to
attend the meeting can get proper
credentials by applying to the Of
ficers of the local association.
The meeting will be an import
ant one, and will be attended by
the governors of seven of the APP
palachian states. The president
of the National Highway Associ-
alton and the president Of the
American Highway Association
will both be in attendance.
The Cooke County Good Roads
Association believes that the natu-
raj route to be taken by the South
) ern National Highway is that one
following the French Broad River,
and the aim will be to make the
road from Newport passable to the
North Carolina line, as Madison
county is spending something like
100000 with the purpose in view
of locating system Of pike roads
which will connect Asheville with
the state line.
| AT the present time the road
leading by way Of Mt. Sterling and
across the mountains to Waynes-
vile is in the best condition, but
the road from Newport to Ashe-
vile is the shortest route and is
| the more scenic and should be of
a greater interest to the tourist
than the other route, although the
trip over the mountains is one of
j interest. The matter will be dis
cussed at the meeting in Ashe-
vile, and it is possible that there
will be a report from Mr.. West
gard, who recently made the trip
over the southern route, and if
such report is made, it will be
interesting for the Cooke county
people to hear the roads of Cooke
and Jefferson counties praised.

Sawyer District Notes

The schools closed here for the Christmas holidays as usual. Miss Beatrice Kennedy, teacher of the pri- mary grades, having exercises appr,- priate to the season, Miss White and pupils of the intermediate attending and enjoying them very much. Some of our neighbors have been on the sick list but at present are lon the road to Wellvillen we believe. Al J. 0. Foxs Christmas eve was celebrated by the family and near rel atives, with well-lighted and gift burdened tree. Presents were inter- changed and general good time real ized. These Christmas gatherings have become common custom with the family, this of 1912 being the twenty-fourth of the kind.
 Mrs. Howard Brown entertained friends at Christmas dinner.
 Charles Thurber and wife spent the day in the city with their son and family.
 Miss Elizabeth Thurber has returned from New Jersey where she has been visiting friends for number of weeks. We are glad to have her home again.
 Miss Bertha 0. White, accompanied by her sister, Mrs. M. H. Elliott of Thompson, visited New York city stopping with relatives in Bogata, New Jersey, during the holidays.
 Our neighbor, J. A. Kennedy, has much improved the appearance of his new home by building on quite an ex- tension, adding greatly to the eonve- niences as well as looks of the house externally.
 D. G. Arnold has his new house in a fair way towards completion outward ly and undoubtedly will have it ready for occupancy by spring or early sum- mer. The house is built on generous plan as to room and promises to be or namental also.
 The W. C. T. Home has a goodly number of waifs-between sixty and seventy. They had their usual holi- day pleasures, with eonfections galore sent in by friends and well wishers.
 New Years day Miss E. k. Fox was performer on the piano at Miss Doro- thy Beebes, Thompson, at an after noon entertainment. She received many thanks and hearty congratula tions for the pleasure her music afford ed those present. Miss Fox took part in musicale in Boston recently. That she did her part finely was the verdict of her former teacher, Miss Emory, of that city.
