A Deadly Gun.
Adopted by the United
States Said to be More
Effective Than $50 One
Man Guns of Thirteen
Years Ago.

The United States Army is
said to have adopted a gun that
can be manipulated by one man,
that is credited with making one
soldier equivalent to two hundred
and fifty using the weapon in
favor during Spanish American
war Of thirteen years ago. This
new gun takes the cake" as a
man.killer. 1t weighs but thirty
pounds and hence can be carried
BY one man, even on q long or
forced march. 1t has the gene.
raj outlines of an ordinary army
gun and can be brought into &C.
tion almost as quickly. 1t fires
thirty ball cartridges in two and
one.half seconds, hence will send
six hundred missiles Of death in
the short space of one minute.
1t has been estimated that u
company Of soldiers equipped
with this instrument of death
could fire nearly a million and q
half bullets in an hour. Experts
say that one man, with advanta.
geous position and equipped with
one Of these guns, would be able
to do as much toward annihilat.
ing an advancing body Of the
enemy, as could have formerly
been done by five companies.
While the gun can be operated
by one man, more efficiency can
be gotten out of it by three--one
to aim and fire, one to feed the
clips of thirty cartridges each
and the third to keep a-pair of
field glasses to his eyes. watch
the effects Of the fire and advis.
ing how to shoot. The new gan
becomes SO heated after being
used one minute that a new bar
rel must be Inserted and that
can be done in space of twelve
seconds.

Hrs. Cora Harris Says.

A young girl should work il
she does not actually need the
money for the same reason that
a young man should work If he
does not actually need the mon.
ey; to preserve herself respect
and her health and her virtue.
She reason there are so many
neurasthenic women in this coun-
ty is because they have no prop
er interest in life.
1t is as much shame for a
girl to live an idle life, and the
consequences are quite as appar-
ent to any student of modern
social conditions.
The argument that these girls
lower the wages for those who
need work is q false argument.
There are plenty of young men
working in banks in Nashville
for thirty-fve dollars a month
and nobody complains that they
are lowering the standard of
wages. There is enough and
more than enough, work to do to
keep every man and woman
busy. They should not be blam.
ed for lowering the standard Of
wages. That is the crime of the
corporations which employ them,
and in due time will be correct
ed by an enlightened civil and
industrial sense of the financial
worth of human beings. The
more girls who crowd into work,
the sooner these unscrupulous
corporations will be over-troub.
led and brought to terms by the
pressure of public opinion.
A girl is just as decent, just
as strong morally as the average
youth of the other sex. She
does not need to be shellbred in
order to paeserve her chastity or
even her reputation for chastity.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER IL, 1913
Cleaned Up.
Lexington Cemetery Put
In the Best Condition
In its History-..T hanks
To a Few.

Last Friday afternoon at s
O'Clock the work of cleaning off
the entire enclosed grounds of the
Lexington Cemetery was brought
to a close, and for about one
half the money heretofore paid
for the same contract. The work
was done by the employment Of
Jim Barnhill and Sol. Irwin, COL,
who put in about seven and one.
half days each, one day by Geo.
Barnhill and the work of about
six other colored men on last
Friday, aided by Messrs. Alfred
Griggs, r. w. Stewart and Frank
McPeake, the latter employ.
ed by Mrs. Bert Armstrong.
Great credit in the work is due
Mr.. j. Wiley Enochs, who gsve
more time, personal attention
and money that was given BY
any other citizen.
The strong call made on the
citizens to assemble and aid
in the work last Friday was re.
sponded to by none except Mes
srs. Griggs and Stewart in per.
son, but a mber Of others made
money contributions for the pur.
pose. We have scores Of people
who are interested (or should be)
in the cemetery, but who ignore
every call to aid in its up. keep.
The cemetery having been put
into respectable condition, it is
now the intention of the Gene
terry Commission, composed of
Messrs. D. E. Scott, j. Wiley
Enochs and w. V. Barry, to keep
it so. 1t is still insisted that
those who have on them that du.
ty make contribution for the
future work that Will be needed
on the grounds.
The following persons has given
money to the graveyard fund:

Fire which originated in a ne.
gro cabin in Hot Springs, Ar.
kansas, last Friday afternoon at
3 80 O'Clock, and was not check
ed until it destroyed property
varyingly estimated at the value
of from six to ten million dollars
and had rendered twenty-five
hundred people homeless.
Gov. Hays arrived in the city
at . late hour Friday night and
ordered a military patrol Of the
burned district, for in these de-
generate days there are ghouls
who will If not kept in check,
revel in and feast upon the great
est misfortunes Of the people.
Manufacturing establishments,
hotels, pretentious dwellings,
public buildings, all went down
before the Fire Devil, including
the city light and water plants
and the county courthouse. All
efforts to stop the headway of
the flames, famed by q wind al.
most gale in force, were Of no
avail and the shifting wind seve-
raj times threatened the more
substantial business district.
Early in the evening, the mayor
of the city ordered all saloons
closed-which action would
doubtless have been classed as
an unconstitutional insult in
Memphis. The work of relief
for the homeless ones wee at
once commenced.

that a goodly sum could have

West Tennessee
Farmers
Institute.
Held In jackson Wednes-
day, Thursday, and Fri
day Of Last Week Best
and Largest Meeting In
History Of Organization

The West Tennessee Farmers
Institute, which was held in
jackson on the 8rd, 4th and 9Th
insts., was the largest, the best
and the best cared for Of all the
meetings held in jackson since
the institute was organized
thirteen or fourteen years ago.
Each and every one the 1000 to
1900 delegates found a good
home readily-thanks to the ad.
vance interest taken by enter
prising citizens Of Jackson--the
use Of the splendid City High
School Auditorium, the frequent
visits to the West Tennessee
Experiment Station, and the
unusually good program arranged
by Commission Peck and Presi-
dent DeBerry, all conspired to
make the meeting the most use-
ful and memorable one, ever
held since the first determined
effort to bring the farmers of
West Tennessee together in an
institute was made by Col. Robt.
Gates some fourteen years ago.
Col. Gates not only gets credit
for conception of the idea, but it
was due to his persistent efforts
that the railroads were made to
see the value Of the movement
to the farmers and the transpor-
tation companies alike, and on
that account to offer free trans.
portation to liberal number of
farmers Of each county.
We cannot attempt to repro
duce the program, nor is it me-
cessary, but we can say that the
talks were in the main essenti-
ally practical. selected and put
