Democratic administration is as
follows:
To the Honorable Members of
the House of Representatives:
Il herewith return house joint
resolution No. without my sigma
ture for the following reasons:
First, it contains expressions of
opinion as to certain matters of
national politics not connected
with the duties of myself or the
legislature and concerning which
neitheEof us are very well inform
ed. / concur most heartily in ap-
proving President Wilson's Mexi-
can foley. | know what this is. |
also approve most cordially his
advocacy as governor of legisla-
ton that would enable the state of
New Jersey to enforce the laws
against law-breaking saloons,
though see no mention of this in
the resolution.
Second, | am not prepared to
endorse the record of Senator Lea
and Senator Shields in congress,
because ! am not thoroughly fa-
miliar with either. | do endorse,
however, the recent course of
Senator Shields in the futile advice
he gave John Isaac Cox and the
regulars to stand fer good laws and
good government, even if they
were advocated by Governor
Hooper. | am not prepared to
endorse the course of Senator Lea
and Representative Mcclellan in
leaving their duties at Washinton
and coming to the Nashville
capitol to line up with the lawless
liquor interests, neither do | en-
dorse the course of any senator or
representative in congress in
attempting or threatening to use
federal patronage in controlling
the action of Tennessee in state
politics. approve of the man.

Two drug-crazed negro boys
started out to shoot up Harriston,
Miss, small town at 2 a. m. Sum
day and before they had been killed
at 10 a. m. eight were dead and
twenty were injured. The boys,
Walter and Will Jones, aged 10
and % years respectfully began
their shooting at 2 o'clock in the
morning when Will shot and kill
ed a negro women and a negro
man in the negro settlement. He
then went to his home, aroused
his brother and both heavily arm
ed started on their death dealing
trip. They fired at any head
which would appear, and had the
inhabitants in terror. They went
to the home of Constable Frank
Kleinstly and called him to the
door, shooting him dead. Kleinst-
ly's son made an effort to get his
fathers gun and was shot in the
hand. They then went to the rail-
road station, killed a man who was
about to board a train, shot the
conductor and literally perforated
the Pullmans with shot. In the
meantime five negroes had been
killed by their bullets and several
were injured. The boys then
ran to seed house determined
to make a stand for their lives.
The sheriff of the county, G. B.
Hammett, arrived from Fayette-
vile accompanied by former sher-
if Orrin ellis. They led a posse
against the seed house and Ham
NETT waslinstantly killed while ellis
was probably fatally injured.
Will made an effort to escape
fran the seed house and was
killed as he ran. Walter was Ia
ken alive without struggle short
ly after the state militia arrived
and was hanged to coal chute
from which he just a moment be-
fore had picked off Tom Weeks, a
negro whose dead body dropped
to the ground.

SPECIAL SESSION OF
LEGISLATURE ENDS

ner in which McAdoo has handled
the financial matters of the nation
so far. The time of the state
Legislature or governor can be
better utilized by the considera-
ton of the states business which
they are elected to look after, than
the expression of inexpert opin-
lous about extraneous matters.

BEN w. HOOPER.
Sept. u, 1913"
This scored. another bulls eye
for the fighting governor of
Tennessee, who in every bout he
has had with the regulars. has
registered Knockout, and the
regulars got mad. They buffetted
the governor about with words
and tried to stir up strife between
him and the Independents but
they had no effect. Cox and
Stanton and others went after
him and charged that his refusal
to endorse the democratic admins
tration was aslap in the face to the
independents. If SO they one and
all took it smilingly as if they
rather liked it.
In the closing hours of the
legislature message was brought
In from Governor Hooper, but it
was not read the house passing
it by until some later date.
The message was as follows:
ONE THAT WASN'T READ.
Governor Hooper sent the fol-
lowing splendid message to the
house, but they would not even
let it be read:

The state legislature has come
to a close. The special session
died natural death Saturday
night. In it's closing hours it
was peaceful. All had become
resigned to the fact that the regu-
lar Democrats did not propose to
permit the law enforcement bills
pass the house and the work of
the closing session consisted of
clearing the calender. The clos
ing session was featured by a
resolution which the house passed
which praised the Wilson admin
istration and the Democratic
senators. The resolution was
passed as a time killer, but 1.-THE
governor returned it without his
signature and expressed himself
in such a manner that it made the
trainers of the resolution a laugh
ing stock in the legislature. Dur
ing the day the legislature passed
the bill substituting the electric
chair for the hangman's moose.

| 1t has not been long since the
Chattanooga Times and other pa
pers of it's like likened Governor
Hooper to an accident, stating that
he was merely creature of
chance and that he was filling an
office entirely too big for him.
The Chattanooga Times has just
published an editorial which would
indicate that the governor is more
in their eyes than ever before and
the editorial in full follows:
No leader in Tennessee politics
for many years has been able to
control his own partisans and de-
moralize the opposition with as
strong hand as Gov. Ben w.
Hooper. The fact illustrates the
mans shrewdness and Machiavel-
liam ability to profit by the demo-
ralization and confusion he him
self has created. 1t further illus

a large element of the people will

other matters so long as he gives

Gus jerks and shouts its virtues
from the housetops.
He has traded in patronage and
bargained with offices, and when
there has been a disposition on
the part of his followers to pro-
test, he has given the string" a
vigorous pull, and behold, the
trading and bargaining has been
justified. He organized an unlaw-
full hegira from the legislature of
1911 to prevent the passage OF
laws the majority were sent by
the people to pass; he signed
salary grab bills and cut out ap-
preparations designed to relieve
the widows of confederate soldiers,
and when the protests began to
come in from the masses, he pull
ed his tragic string" When he
came before the people again he
lost in his own county, but by
nursing the dissensions in the
democratic organization in Middle
Tennessee and by keeping the

turned to the governors chair.
An antagonistic legislature was
chosen in 1918, but with shrewd
provision of the outcome, he
traded with Crump, the liquor
boss of Memphis; secured strength
to his machine through the per-
fidy of men elected as regulars
and then when the outbreak of
indignation became ominous he
pulled the old string by breach
ing his contract with Crump. And,
as he apparently prejudged, his
blind followers approved all his
Iiniquities because, although he
had agreed to let loose the
string" he had simply fooled his
allies and still dangled it from his
fingers. Then came another
hegira. He advised, promoted
and defended criminal abscon-
dence and because he said it
enabled him to hold the string"
he was still upheld by his infatu-
ated followers. No dereliction

A Meat Famine Confronts
People of This
Nation
BEEF RAISING DECREASES
The Responsibility of Averting a
Future Meat Famine is Put up
to the Small Farmers, and
Every Small Farmer is Advised
to Raise at Least Two Beef
Steers per Year.

Chicago, Sept. 3O.-The respon-
sibility Of averting a future meat
famine was put up to small far
mers by speakers at the eighth an
nual convention of the American
Packers convention today. All
the speakers agreed that if the de-
crease in meat production of the
last ten years is not stopped, the
question of the meat supply tor
the people of the United States
will be most serious.
Among the remedies suggested
by the speakers we're
Every small farmer should raise
at least two beef steers a year to
offset the decreased production
of the great ranches of the west.
The remaining range should be
cut up in farms to put all farmers
on an equal footing.
Development of the hills at New
England with their bountiful of
springs and prevailing shade as a
beef producing country.
Substitution of corn for cotton
in the southern states and the
consequent development of the
cattle and hog production.
DANGER OF FAMINE.
Thereportof the executiv COM
mittee sounded the first note of
the danger of a famine.
"The American meat packing
house situation and that of consul
mers of meat food products in
this country are both in condi-
ton more precarious than at any
other time in our history" the
report stated.
I'VE are facing conditions in the
production of meat food products
which would have been thought
impossible ten years ago. The
shortage OF livestock, which has
been impressed upon us, as pack
ing house producers for several
years has been intensified during
the last year. The population is
growing at its normal rate, We
have passed the point where de-
mand has overtaken production
and we are now on a basis which
shows that demand exceeds the
supply of meat food products to
such an extent that we have alb
normally high prices for meat food
products.
'The farmers are not furnish
ing nearly a sufficient number of
animals to keep the packing hous-
es in operation on anything like
full time and this results in heavy
losses, owing to lack of volume OF
business and there seems to be nc
prospect of relief. Despite the
higher prices for livestock of all
kinds, statistics show that the far
mers not only are not increasing
their production of meat food ami.
mails, but that such production is
decreasing at an appalling rate"
SLAUGHTER OF CALVES.
Among other causes for the
shortage Of meat the report point
ed out another loss of meat food
animals through preventable dis
eases and the unthinking slau-
ghter Of calves and especially he'll
er calves"
