SHELTON ANSWERS
Mr.. ALTON WHEELER
Continued from page two)

the passage of the bill happened to
be the same as that of the lobby,
which was under the pay of the man
ufacturers' associations. That always
makes people suspicious of disinter-
ested motives. The person has to
rely upon one of two things-the pub
lies confidence in the purity of his
motives, or his own denials. He Sc
lects the latter. Equally unfortunate
is it that at the time it did not &C.
eur to him that he might with all OF
| his influence have aided the principl,
| he says he loves so intensely by try
ing to get the bill amended. He could
have induced one of his friends IN
the Legislature to offer an amendment
raising the rates of compensation. If
that was not adopted, his opposition
to the measure would not then have
created SO much suspicion. He relied
too much on his own consciousness OF
the purity of his motives.
Attacks on Peters.
Il do regret to read the recent at
tacks on Mr.. Peters in his relation to
this measure. l regret it because /
think they are untrue and unfair.
Yesterday, I talked with a membe"
of the Legislature, who was very ac-
tive in support of the bill and think
| got the exact facts. What he told
me was substantially this: There was
caucus of Republican members in
the late stages of the fight. Mr..
Wheeler of South Paris. who attacked
Peters so bitterly at Fairfield, Tues
day night, was present and knew what
took place. He heard Mr.. Peters make
strong speech urging those present
to unite in support of the bill. He
heard him labor with the few indi-
vidual members, who stood out. He
knew that Peters was doing all any
man could do to carry the measure.
His unfairness consists not only
in ignoring this but in making sucE
an attack after what | am told he
did himself And / regret this partic
ularly because Mr.. Wheeler is a frienf
of mine, and | fear he has been led
into this by Incorporate zeal for
cause in which he believes, but zeal
which he himself will regret.

In joint convention Tuesday fore
noon the Tennessee general assem-

nard, of Knoxville, as the republi-
can member of the State Board Of
Election Commissioners. There
was practically no opposition on
the roll call and the election was
made unanimous.
1t was thought for a while that
the regular democrats and bull
moosers would place before the as
sembly and support Asbury
Wright, but this wasnot done and
the choice of the friends of Hooper
went through with practically no
opposition.
Mr.. Penland is a lawyer and
said to be a very fine man.

behind closed doors and who only
receive sealed bids.
Is it not better to have few
acres overhowed a few times each
year than to have a lien for ten OF
fifteen yearsY The taking Of a mans
property without bis consent is
robbery, whether it is done with
a special lien forced on him or
with a revolver.
| know that the creek can be
drained, and that it would be a
good thing for US, but the expense
of a ditch sufficient to drain the
bottom would be too heavy on the
land owners.
Almost every year some of our
best people are caught by some
man who comes along with some
good thing" like the canning
factory, truck farming or the
Memphis-to- Bristol highway.
MY advice is, if you have a
clear title to your land, keep it
clear and improve what you have
in cultivation and fight all special
liens and increased taxation and
do not follow after some idle
dreamer who is always building
air castles.

THE MEMS BANQUET
One Hundred Men and Boys
Were Served

The banquet for men and boys,
given last Friday night at Hotel
Olive, was in every particular a
splendid success. One hundred
men and boys were seated at the
table and served to a fire dinner.
The dining room presented a mag
nifcent picture. 1t was a fine
looking and intelligent body of
men and boys, and the speaker of
the evening was certainly inspired
by the surroundings.
At the close of the dinner Rev.
George L. johnson, who was act
ing as chairman, presented DR..
Bulla, of Nashville, a great Sun
day school worker in the Metho-
dist church, who made one of the
finest and most inspiring talks a
Huntingdon audience has heard in
many day. 1t was full Of prac-
tical truths and very uplifting in
its effect. Such speeches, so fore
ably delivered, cannot fail to &C.
complish great good.
The banquet was given by the
Methodist church. and the only
thing that married the evening was
the fact that the pastor, Rev. r.
G. Douglas, who inspired it and
worked so hard to make it a sue
cess, was taken sick that day and
could not attend. There we're
many expressions of regret that
he could not be present.
We heard it intimated that night
that the banquet might be repeated
some time in the future, and we
frankly admit that we do not care
how soon.
Mrs. l. S. Moore, of the Hotel
Olive, served the dinner and what
she does along this line is al
ways done well.

STOCK LAW
Carroll County VIII Likely Soon
Have One

1t is highly probable that Car

ator Mckinney introduced such a
bill ia the senate last Monday, and
we understand a similar bill has
been prepared and will be intro
duced in the house.
The measure, so weare informed,
is something like the law that has
been in force in Gibson county for
several years, and has grown 50
popular with the farmers Of that
county.

Added to Memphis 131, 900 pop

raj, because there are several Of
them. They are dotted about here
and there, and the responsibility
of their management is placed on
a man whose shoulders have ably
and cheerfully borne the burden
Tennessee's associations for the
past several years. THERE'S much
to this mans credit, and we be-
lieve the local directors have acted
wisely in choosing such successor
to a man who was so reluctantly
given up to a sister city in distress.

who went to Norfolk, Va.

VOLUNTARY BANKRUPTCY
Pleasant w. Argo, of NewbilI Has,
Filed Petition

Pleasant W. Argo. doing a gen

bill in the Nineteenth district, fled
a petition in voluntary bankruptcy
last Tuesday. We did not learn
the cause assigned for the failure.
His schedule Of liabilities foot up
about $4,000, but, we understand,
be claims assets in goods and land
of about the same amount. Sell
ling too many goods on a credit
and failing tocollect was, no doubt,
the principle cause Of the assign
ment.
The creditors will meet in P. w /.

Spelling Match

Last Friday afternoon Miss Sal
lie McCracken, who teaches the
Young school at Christmasville,
carried her pupils to Mount Arie,
where they had been invited by
the teacher, Miss Mary Ragland,
and pupils, to participate in a
spelling match. The wagons,
driven by Clint Alden and J. L.
Fuzzell, we're loaded with happy
children and they enjoyed the trip
to its fullest extent. BY 2 O'Clock
everything was in readiness for
the spelling to begin. The con-
test lasted about two hours and
ended in a victory for the pupils
Of the Young's school. Such con
tests are profitable and should be
encouraged.
