JUDGE ROSS REPLIES
To Communication from Lexington to
Tennessean and American of July e

hS AoAiOWih6 Sohlhhdha11Oiou
was mailed yesterday July 30)
from Lexington to the Nashville
Tennessean & American, by the
accredited correspondent of the
Nashville Daily:
Lexington, Tenn.
July 20, 1914.
Tennessean q American,
Nashville, Tenn.
Chancellor j. w. Ross being
here to day on his way to Jack
son from Perry county, had his
attention called so the commun-
icatiou from Lexington to the
Tennessean d American of the
18th inst, purporting to be an
interview with the Hon. ID. X.
Scott, candidate for Chancellor,
and in regard thereto the Chan
cellor gave out the following in
terview:
Il am informed by Mr.. Scott
himself that he neither wrote
nor worded the alleged inter.
view with himself of date July
27th., in the Tennessean a.
American of July 2Sth.
This information from Mr..
Scott was unnecessary, as the
article bears unmistakable evil
dence as to the gentleman who
did write it and equally unmis.
taxable evidence OF the fact that
MIR. Scott did not write it.
Il had hoped that the cam.
paign between Mr.. Scott and
me would be kept free from mis-
representations, but the gentle.
man who wrote this purported
interview was either ignorant of
the facts about which he wrote
or Intentionally misrepresented
them. | had rather attribute it
to ignorance.
THE fact that Mr.. Scott is the
Democratic nominee is known
70 all; likewise, all who know
lne know that | am a Republi.
can; but the statement that /
have several times been the
nominee Of the Republican par
ty is wholly without foundation,
Il was never nominated by
any party but one time in my
life. Two years ago | received
the nomination for Congress in
this district aud on the 4th day
Of July following that action, |
went before the Congressional
committee at this place and
rendered my resignation, which
was by the committee accepted.
Later, however, the Congression.
al committee mettat jackson,
as | was informed, and without
my knowledge or consent passed
a resolution to have my name
placed upon the ticket. The on
~ time devoted by me in that
campaign was the two days spent
n-coming to Lexington to ten.
der my resignation, and the on
~ benefit derived by me was the
pleasure OF paving for newspa-
per announce ments serted
without my authority.
I'm 1908 | made a race against
Judge N. X. Barham, but 10
that race ! was not the nominee
OF any party, but was endorsed
by the judiciary committee, this
being the only race | have made
fur office prior to this time.
The statement III SAID alleg.

evidence Of the ignorance OF the

curIesItx Of an Emprsss.

Mme. de Hegermann- In her "reminiscences, sIn the Courts of Memory relates an amusing exper1- ence which took place at one Of her visits to the court of Napoleon III.
 Her hair was so abundant and so curly that no one would believe her coifure was natural The Empress Eugenie asked: Where can one buy such lovely curIs as you haven Are they real or false? You won't mind telling me. Some people have made bets about 1t. How can we know un- less you tell us ?'' The American Yis- itor replied: My hair is all my own, your majesty, and, if you wish to make sure, I am perfectly willing that you should see for yourself" And asRe- moving ma helmet says Mime. Lin dencrone, .'I took out the comb and let my hair down. Every one crowded around me and felt and pulled my hair about until had to beg for mercy. The emperor, looking on, cried out. Bravo. madamei and. gathering some flowers on the table, handed them to me, saying: Your success hangs by Q hair, does it not?'

Nothino to Be Said.

Prospective tenant talking with the janitor standing on the steps of a fat house on cross street near an ave nue on which there is a trolley line. 5
 Prospective Tenant-Can youS hear the cars plainly here?
 Janitor-oh, my, no; you can't hear
 But at this moment there came rum bling. grinding down the avenue at forty miles an hour a big trolley car that passed this street with a roar that would have made double Jointed earthquake falling down steep and rocky mountain canyon sound like somebody in the distance playing a piecolo.
 The prospective tenant looked at the janitor for just one moment, sadly and responsibility, and then she turned and went away.
 And the janitor? Well, the janitor just let her go without another word. for he realized that this was case in which there was nothing further to say.-New York Sun.

Feeble Minded Children.

Economic incompetence often goes by the name of laziness, thriftlessness. shiftlessness. In every village we find some of this worthless sort,'' and they usually get scant sympathy and still scantier interpretation. Be careful of your own diagnosis of these cases, reader, or you may make the mistake of the ignorant parent who actually beats a feeble minded child, thinking the child will not obey, when, as pure matter of fact, the child cannot obey. There may be a kind of laziness which will respond to moral suasion, but there is another important kind which is due to incurabIe deficiency of will. Feeble mindedness is a blight which not only affects the intellect, but may also weaken the instincts which are at the basis, alike. of play, work and Magazine

Farmers Should Not Pull Fodder.


The progressive Farmer, pub
lished at Dallas, Texas, publishes
an interesting account of a series
of tests as to the value of fodder
pulling. 1t was definitely estab-
lished that the pulling of fodder
Injuries the corn yield from Is to
40 per cent, and the decrease in
the vitality of seed corn for the
next crop is very great. The
stage at which fodder is pulled
largely determines the degree to
which the corn is injured. II
the fodder is pulled dry it does
not injure the corn a great deal
but if it is allowed to dry before
being pulled it makes a very
poor grade of feed. Every bun
die of fodder pulled costs more
than it is worth, therefore it j!
not worth pulling.

Sinking of the Empress of Ireland.
In spite of the fact that the
vessel was equipped with wire
less, had more than enough life
boats to carry all of the 1,B7
persons, was built with water
tight bulkheads. and had appar-
emily every other modern facility
for the safety of its passengers,
more than 900 persons lost their
lives when the Canadian Pacific
liner Empress of Ireland, !"
bound from Montreal to Liver
pool, was rammed and sunk by
the Norwegian collier "Storstad"
on May %, 1914, in the estuary
that forms the mouth of the St.
Lawrence river. A number of
views in the July Popular Me-
chanice Magazine show how the
accident occurred. The appalling
loss of life was caused by the
radidity with which the ship fill
ed and sank, the time being es'
timated at from 10 to II minutes,
and in this brief period there
was no time for launching the
lifeboats or for any organized
work of rescue.
