WILL THERE BE TINE.

(BeIIe FllgeIman In the Survey)
When man has harnessed lightning
to his will,
And spanned the oceans breadth
with bows of steel;
When he has made the universe his
mills,
And set the winds to work to drive
his wheel; -
When he has scaled the skies with
CHASTITY mirth
To rob the stars Of their stupendous
powers;
When he has probed the bowels of the
earth,
And gathered up the breath of allA
the flowers;
Will he then pause awhile to count
the dead
: Whom poverty and steel have
ground to dust?
Will he then heed the children's cry
for bread,
Or hear the mothers wall for what
is just?
Will he then square himself with God
and man?
Will he repudiats the vice and
crime
That have endured since being first
began?
God! can he do all this? Will
there be time?

LEXINGTON TENNESSEE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER IS, 1918
John Allison.
Davidson County Cham
cellor Holds Void the
Liquor Shipping Act.

q
The following in substance,
was sent out from Nashville last
week, relative to a decision by
Chancellor John Allison, who
will be remembered as the same
judge who upheld the election
law passed by a quorumless
legislature:
Chancellor John Allison has
held invalid provisions Of the
recently enacted liquor shipping
law which limit interstate ship
ments for personal or family use
to one gallon, and require the
carrier to give information Of the
consignment to the county clerk.
Judge Allison held that citi-
zen Of Tennessee may order from
without the state intoxicating
liquors for himself and family
without limit; that the carrier
may not be compelled to furnish
information of the consignment
to the county clerk, but under
the Webb-Kenyon act and the
act of Tennessee, the consignee
may be required by the carrier
to sign a statement declaring his
intentions as to use before de-
livering the shipment.
The court held that the one
gallon Limitation was interfer-
ence with interstate commerce
and that the provision regarding
the certificate to the county
clerk was contrary to the acts Of
congress.
The test of the law was made
by w. 0. Palmer, a wealthy
turfman. An appeal will be
taken.

Fisticuffs In the
Open and Then With
Guns and Both Com

The usually serene atmosphere
at the wayside station OF Huron,
was disturbed last Friday, when
Connie Spencer and Ella Massey
two dusky Amazons met at the
we'll located between the two
section houses of the Nashville,
Chattanooga u ST. Louis Railway
After a veritable fusilade OF
words which made the ambient
air reek with the fumes Of sui
|phur, as it were, Connie and
Ella stood up against each other
in an old-fashioned fisticuff, ID
which the Spencer female seem
ed to outclass the Massey person
with result that the Massey wo
man went after her sid arms,
with blood in her eye. and the
Spencer individual went into her
own domicile, where she was de-.
tanned by the powerful arm Of
one Sarah Brown. When the
the Massey combatant returned
to the scene of war. armed with
a:pistol, and the Spencer woman
was entrenched in, her strcng-
hold, q fusilade of shots, num-
bering six or more, was exchang-
ed, with the result thatsElla got
shot just over the eye and Annie
McHaney, her sister, claimed
that several of the shot passed
through her arm. The entire
skirmishing force was brought to

Facts vs.. Fiction.

Five months ago John A. Sui
livan, a blind man Of Fort
Worth, Texas, was saved by .
woman from being run over by .
street car. She left him before
he recovered his wits sufficiently
to ask her name. But he re-
membered her voice with the
tenacity Of the blind, and has
been searching for her ever since.
Not.long ago he heard her voice
on the street and called to her.
She was Mrs. Vernis Bagwell and
unhappily married. Sullivan pro-
cured a divorce for her and has
now married her. If you read a
novel along these lines, what
would you think of it?

Sacks of Mail Disappears
From |. c. Platform at
rlemphis.

A special report from Memphis
to the daily press of last Sunday
made the following statement
under date of November 90.
Robbers stole three sacks of
mail from the old Illinois Cen
tral platform some time Friday
night, and after getting several
packages Of value, left two of
the empty sacks In a baggage
subway being constructed under
the new depot and. the other un.
der some street building material
near Calhoun avenue and Main
Street.
The robbery was part Of a
series Of similar thefts.that have
baffled postoffice inspectors. For
more than a week. it is said,
there has been an average Of one
mail pouch day stolen from the
platform where mails are unload
ed from wagons to be sent to
mail cars.
Despite efforts Of half a dozen
inspectors from the postofice
department, the robberies have
continued, and, so far, no clews
have been left behind.
Officers believe the thefts have
been the work of an organized
gang, whose headquarters are
believed to be in the neighbor-
hood of the old union depot.
Only two men are left on the
platform to handle the night
mail, say postoffice authorities.
At times it is necessary for both
to help load mail into postal cars.
A theory of the inspectors is
that the thieves wait until the
mail is unguarded, then rush in
and help themselves, usually
getting away with one or two
sacks.

Collectors rlust
Send in the Names.

Washington, Nov. 25.-Com.
missioner of Internal Revenue
Osborn yesterday told Senator
James andRepresentative John
son of Kentucky thatit was about
time internal revenue collectors
we're nominating their deputies,
authorized under the income tax
section of the new tariff law.
The Kentuckians had come to
say that Collector Scott Mays Of
Louisville. had been handicapped
by failure Of the Treasury De-
partment to appoint the thirty
new deputies to which the Louis
Vile office is entitled.
There has been a general i'm.
preston that these appointments
would be made directly in Wash.
ington, and collectors throughout
the country have been slow in
acting. Commissioner Osborn
made it plain that it was up to
the collectors to submit nomina-
tions, which he said doubtless
would be approved at once.

NUMBER ri
State Buys
Baxter Farm.
Deal Closed With Admin
istrators at SIS an Acre
Including Equipment.

| WcbVONcT idrHl VI Z,oIZ acres
is now the property of the state.
The deal was closed at 8 O'Clock
today when Prison Commission
er James S. Beasley, said the
word, agreeing to pay to the ad-
ministrators of the Baxter es-
tate the round sum of $196, $50.
In addition to the farm itself
the state gets by the deal full
and ample equipment to operate
it, and this important adjunct is
thrown in, saving the state not
only delay in stocking the estate,
but a sum estimated at between
$25,00O and $4,000.
Westover farm lies just West
of the prison, behind the present
farm Of 1,12O acres, and is q
model for prison farm. It is
situated in what is known az
Robertson's Bend and around
ree.fourth Of its flow the Cum
berland River, a natural barrier
against escape which will
serve practically the same pur-
pose Of a wall. Embraced in it's
scope are about 1900 acres of
fertile bottom land, while the
remainder is in o fine state Of
cultivation, producing abundant
ly Of the crops that have been
grown npon it.
MODEL DAIRY ADJUNCT.
The state gets as a part Of it's
purchase model dairy, said to
be one Of the best in this section
of the state. Seventy.five of the
choice dairy cows are included
in the deal, and it is the plans Of
the Prison mission to pro-
dnce all the dairy products used
at the prison and to dispose Of
the surplus to the city consum.
ers. 1t IS estimated that consid.
cradle more milk and butter will
be produced than will be neces-
sary at the prison.
1t is also the purpose Of the
Commissioners to raise all th0
beef cattle, hogs and sheep used,
which will mean a saving Of an
immense sum annually paid out
for meats. The prison now uses
about $4,000 worth of fresh beef
annually, with q large amount
of mutton and bacon. All Of
this will eventually be produced
on the farm..9
The Commissioners plans con
template raising sufficient corn
not only to feed the cattle enA
stock, butto make the meal fOr
the prison and TO install q grist
mill and grind their own meal
and feed stuffs. With the equip
ment included in the deal there
is already an engine and machin-
cry for handling the feed stuffp.
In the personal property taken
over, all of which comes within

Commissioners James 3. BeGy-
LEY, who closed the deal with The
administrators, said that ~
state will get possession atOucS,
and that plowing and other
work will begin there tomorrow.
"By December we will have
between rs and 100 men at work
on the farm" Said Mr.. Beas-
ley, and we will begin at once
to garry out our plans. The farm
is now in fine condition, having
been carefully looked after all
