The change Of heart experienced by
former Governor Malcolm r. Patter-
son. Of Tennessee. whereby ne for
sakes hts former allies and aligns
himself hcnceforth with the Prohibi-
tion!sts may or may not affect the po-
nuoaI situation IN the old Volunteer
state profoundly
It long has been mooted question
among followers Of tho erstwhile Pat
terson style of politics whether the
doughty Governor was not more Of q
liability than an asset, anyway
His connection with the Carmack
case. his oftcntimes Incorporate ut
terancos and actions, his vehement
inability To compromise on occasions
when compromise seemed the most
sensible thing 20 do from his side $
point Of view are things that have
produced "a variety Of opinion con
corning Patterson. the effect " which

Patterson undoubtedly possesses
many fnc qualities He is winning
speaker a convincing writer. and he
has great courage His political pain

IT MAKES SUCH A DIFFERENCE.

Some people do not care whether trey get what they pay for and what they really want or not. Shiftless housewives are like that. and careless men. These people seldom amount to much. They drift along until they are 6end and the change is so slight that they hardly notice it. Real live people t"kc pains to see that they get tho best that their money can buy. They ar. not satisfied with the just as SoCd' brand They want the real tting and they are always looking for the place where the real thing can he had
 These people do not go around con- sulting fortune tellers or reading the stars to get their information. Not a bit of it. Buying to the careful house. wife and the prodent man is q serious business.
 Most people who are wise enough to get the best for their money are also busy people. They haven't time to wander from store to store searching for what they want. What is the re- suit" Why the most natural one in the world. They look in the advertis- ing columns of the most reliable paper in town and buy from the people whose ads they find there.
 That is why everyone who wants anything of any kind slances over the and that is why it pays to advertise in the NUGGET.

Some two months ago the NUGGET printed several news dispatches in re- gard to the remarkable disappearance of one of the princesscs of the house If Hapsberg The young lady has now been located and she is the wife of an Er Erglishman living in a foreign land %ld free from any interference from her imperial uncle who had intended tc r,arry her to some petty Europeon sovereign for political reasons.
 This girl will lose all of her fortune ana all of her royal rights and she seems to be glad of it for she has found something that most woman prize n.,re than they do crowns and jewels and titles, the one man in the world.
 It is d cruel custom, this barterins of voung womanhood by the royal families of Europe. It is as cruel as i' is immoral and it leads in the end usually to the degeneracy of the royal no lscs through generation after gen cratior of intermarriage.
 Fortunately there are few girls in America who arc forced into marrying for political social or pecuniary req sons.
 There is. however. rather strict un- written law which holds that a girl should not marry out of her socalled social class. This is of course merely the generally accepted idea that all other things being equal. man and woman who are used to the same sort of social lives will be happier together than if they come from different strata of society.
 This is probably quite true in most instances for it is hard for either q man or q woman. probably harder for q woman. to change from one social level to another.
 But after all it seems that there should be something taken into consid- cration when two people. young or old. contemplate matrimony which in most cases if neglected. This is their men,

The army of the United States IS maintained principally for defensive purposes. This country of ours never has been and never will be an aggrcs- sive nation so far as war is concerned We will do anything in the world with i. reason to prevent hostilities with any other nation. It will almost take !. direct attack of the most aggrevatcd kind to bring us to the point where we will accept war, with all of it's horrors as the only possible solution of al. international difficulty.
 Therefore it vii! be nothing .hvrt O. irN asion or the most fragrant insult which will involve us in a fight for our national honor, or to preserve our national integrity.
 The regular force that the govern Iurnt maintains is. even with our pol icy. about one-half too small in all arms This is especially the case with the infantry which when all is said and done, is the backbone of any land fighting force.
 The result of this shortage of foot soldiers is that we find the regimental units so split up that in many in stances tactical instruction is quite impossible and the art of war, which is R soldiers business. is relegated to the scrap heap while the inadequate e foIce at most of the small posts is cm- pioyed in the unproftable round of guard duty and police work. which, sgbiae- belonging properly to the pro- ftssion of arms. is only incidental thereto and of absolutely no practical value from n military standpoint.
 On the other hand the little two company posts are of no value what ever from n defensive standpoint.
 No one should Ireach the possibility cf war. It is of course always present, but 1t is better in most instances to go quietly to work preparing for it. rather than to shout from the house. tops tho possibility of invasion
 However. as a purely preca utionary measure We must look the possibility of invasion in the face for not to do so invites invasion.

Nashville, May 1.-TWO boards Of
election commissioners for Tennessee
in the very near future appears to be
the imminent probability.
Monday, May 18th is the designated
date for the assembling in Nashville Of
the so.called estate board Of election
commissioners provided fol- in the bill
disapproved by the governor and"pass-
ed'' over his veto by the rump house.
The general impression among those
best informed is that Messrs. Penland
and Young, members of the old com
mission and also constituted under the
later act members of the new one will
refuse to meet with or recognize the
new body but will continue to act I'M
der the old law. This gives them au-
Jhority to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation OF Leslie NJ. Slraton,
and, it is believed, that they will do
this and proceed to appoint list Of
county election commissioners.
Messrs. Relcnman, Carter and Alex
ander, elected to the new board by the
quorumless joint convention of the gen.
eral assembly will then constitute the
rival body, meeting here May II and
after organizing will likewise select a
list of county commissioners. They
have requested the chairman of the va
roius county executive committees,
democratic and republican to subralt
them lists from which to make their
selections and areexpected to announce
the appointments during the coming
meeting. y
Before May II, an injunction will be
filed against the new board.

HAD KILLED A DEPUTY
Evidence Showed That He Had
Created a Disturbance and That
He Shot the Deputy in Head
When Followed AS He Escap-
ed on Way to Cooke County
Where He Laid Out for Sew
eral Weeks.

Dudly the WEIGH, the Cooke count
ian, who last week was placed on trial
at Ooltewah, James county for the
murder of Deputy Sheriff e. M. AL
ford, was found guilty and sentenced
to twenty years IN the penitentiary.
The jury was only out two hours be-
fore announcing it's verdict.
The Welch case has been one of the
most famous held in James county. 1t
was alleged that WEIGH, while at pie
mic celebration at Brentwood last July,
shot and instantly killed Deputy
Sheriff Afford, who was endeavoring
to place him under arrest.
The testimony of the trial brought
out that WEIGH with two or three
friends had come TO the picnic and
that they carried tbasket of whiskey
with them. In an argument Welch or
some one else made demonstration
by firing three shots into the ground.
WEIGH walked up to the stand while
Afford followed and placed him under
arrest. WEIGH took French leave and
ran away, crawling off on all fours.
Afford followed and caught hold of
WEIGH who was in an exceedingly in
toxicated condition and tried to drag
him from an embankment which
Welch was climbing. Welch turned,
so it is said and fired over his shoulder
shooting Afford in the top of the head
causing wound which quickly caused
his death.
Welch fed to Cooke county and a re-
ward of several hundred dollars was
offered for his arrest. He was hiding
in the vicinity of Carson Ssrings tor
several weeks, but escaped arrest.
Finally he was turned up by some
person and Deputy Sheriff Joe Cureton
and Detective Barnes found him in a
house near Newport and placed him
under arrest without any difficulty al
though he was pictured as a very dan
gerous man.

BACK TAX FEES ARE
DISALLOWED BY HAYNES
County
Hundred Dollars As Result While Same Decree Will Hold
His Decision Chancellor is the
Attorney Proportion Earned.

A decree was entered in Chancery
court here last week, which disallowed
the fee of Back Tax Attorney Harry
Swami in eIghtv-five cases which had
been filed in the chsncery court.
The decree also holds good in other
counties in Judge Haynes circuit as
there were similar cases in each OF the
counties. in his decision Chancellor
Hagnes states that the fee claimed is
out of proportion TO any service pos
sible for the back Tax attorney or the
revenue agent to earn.
The decree is as follows:
"The State VS.. w. w. Bibee ct al.
Chancery Court OF Cooke County,
Newport, Tennessee.
"In this cause. the motion of counsel
for Cooke county to relax the bill of
costs add diSallow the fee of five dollars
taxed in favor of counsel for complain
ant upon grounds set forth in said
motion, was heard before Chancellor
Haynes on a former day of the ter m
and taken under advisement, with
the agreement that thequestion should
be briefed by counsel and that decree
could now be entered.
"a similar question is made in be-
half OF Cooke county, in all other like
cases, and has also been made in like
cases, in behalfof several other counties
of the Chancery division, not yet dis.
posed Of; so that this decree, in view oil
the fact that il will also be entered in
n number of cases, is of rather more
than the ordinary importance.

made, has not been given, because o1

RUMORS or CONFESSIONS
Reports Were Circulated That
He Had Confessed to Several
Murders, But Those Who
Who Were With Him Through
His Last Illness Deny That He
Made Them-Leaves Wife and
Eight Children.

After an ILLNESS OF several months
William Fine died al his home on
Riverview street, at O'Clock Mondoy
morning, death being due to consump-
ton. The deceased is survived by his
wife and eight children, John aged %
Joe aged Is, Bob aged Is, Neil aged ID,
Mae aged 10, Katie aged Z, Charley
aged 5, frankie 2. Funeral services
were held Tuesday, interment being
made in the Union cemetary. Rev. j.
=. Black officiating.
During the last two weeks of his i'll
ness, there were manv reports in civ
culation as 10 confessions Mr.. Fine haa
made as TO wrong doing. 1t was re-
ported that the fact that he had killed
man named Bradshaw, had preySd
on his mind, although he at the tinc
had been tried and finally came clear
on self defense plea 1t was reported
that he confessed to having poured Oil
OH sleeping woman by the name 6l
Haney and that she had been burnS1
TO death, although the evidence at the
time was that she had fallen asleep,
too near fire. 1t was also reported
that he had confessed that he had
starved "Aunt' Peggy Fine to death
All these reports are believed 10 be
groundless, as those who attended him
state that me positively denied any
such confession, and affirmed after he
had made profession of religion last
week, that he had nothing TO do with
the crimes mentioned except the kill
ing Ct Bradshaw, which he could not
help. His conscience did worry him,
however in reference TO the death or
Peggy Fine, but it appeared as though
he had considered that he had not
done his best for her when she was
down sick andsit was more of regret
for having neglected her than for any
thing else, which caused him TO worry
1T is not known how the exaggerated
reports were put in circulation. One re-
port had it that he had confessed 10
the Turing of an unknown stranger 20
his death, but when asked direct by
friends if he anything to do with this
or if he had made any confession in re-
gard to same, he point blank DENIED
that he had never had anything to 90
with thing of this kind.
During his illness, many people a.
sisted the family in various wa7, M
| merOus kindnesses being shown, and
his last hours were made as comforts
able as possible.

Supreme court, directly in point for
this Courts guidance.
"And on this April Goth, 1918, after
consideration of the question involved,
together with the argument and briefs
of counsel for both sides, the Court is of
the opinion and doth accordingly Or
der, adjudge and decree:
"(D Suits may be dismissed out of
term time, and orders have been en-
tered in such of these cases as have
been 50 dismissed taxing the state with
one-third and the county with two
thirds of the costs accrued, that being
about the proportion going TO the
State and County, Of the taxes sued
for. No specific tim of cost was al
lowed, or passed upon, when the suits
were dismissed, but that was left to
the Clerk and Master, as is always
done under our practice, and thereafter
any CONTROVERSY over an item of cost,
taxed generally as aforesaid, properly
arises, as now presented, on motion to
re-tax. See State eX rel VS. Alexander,

as the proper procedure.
