Sensational charges involving the

These facts contribute a very re.

Of the indecencies charged against
Mr.. King, but it is much more to be
regretted that such a man owes his
position to the reform forces in Ten

to charging all the deviltry in politics
to the regular democrats and we con-
fess that when a situation like this
confronts us, where we are forced to
acquit that aggregation of blame and

that the Independent democrats who
elected Mr.. King were ignorant of

they were, but unless they were

ING BIG SUCCESS IN LONE
STAR STATE.

According to the Ballinger, Texas,
papers, DR.. w. w. Fowler, formerly
of Maury county, is one of the most
successful scientific farmers of that
section of the state. His farm is de-
clared to be model and is held up
to the other farmers of that section
as the ideal for cultivation, success,
etc. DR.. Fowler, while a busy prac-
titioner Of his profession, is an ar
dent and enthusiastic farmer and has
demonstrated the value of scientific
and intelligent effort.

of at this time. Farmers usually de-
scribe this condition as a shedding Of
the skin.
These alterations may take from
two weeks to two or three months to
occur, and during this period they
can bring about outbreaks of hog
cholera, if they are placed in pens
with susceptible animals. AS this
condition is usually found with bears
and sows, farmers should use care
when bringing such animals to their
herds.
An examination of the lungs might
show a solid area in one or both
lungs. This area is red at first, then
turns more of grayish color, and
can be distinguished from the healthy
part of the lung, which is of pink
color and is not solid. If small
section of this area is cut out and
placed in a bucket of water 1t will
sink to the bottom. This is not true
of healthy lung tissue, which will
float on top Of the water.
A careful examination will reveal
many other conditions, depending
upon the time the disease has pro
crossed. These other conditions are
usually caused by the entrance into
the body of pus germs or other germs
that exist in the food the bowels con-
tain.
In the chronic form of the disease
it will be noticed that, instead OF all
the hogs dying within few days, the
deaths are gradual, and extend over
many weeks. After the disease has
been in progress for some time the
value of anti-hog cholera serum on
these herds is limited, and Maury
county farmers are requested to notl-
fly the government Office at COLUMBIA
before the disease has advanced too
far.

An irregular appetite is usually fol

The bowels become constipated or

After several days an examination

OUR CONVICT SYSTEM.

In its recent report the state board
Of charities rather put one over on
Governor Hooper who but recently
returned from trip to Georgia and
was severe in his criticism of the
manner In which the conyicts were
treated IN that state. This report is
q very caustic criticism of the jails
and work houses of Tennessee. In
fact the statement is made that they
are in just about as bad condition
as the convict camps of Georgia.
When the governor gave out his
statement assuming an air of lofty
superiority, to Georgia we rather sus-
pected then and SO stated, that prob
ably our sister state treated its I'm
fortunate criminals just about as well
as we did. There are work houses
and jails in Tennessee where condi-
lions are just about as horrible as
one could imagine and it is to be
hoped that some reforms will result
from the effort of the state board Of
charities.
While the convicts in the peniten-
tiary are well fed and some atten-
ton is given to their spiritual and
moral uplift we are still too merce-
nary in our treatment of them. Ten
nessee will never be able to boast of
its humane and Christian like treat
ment OF its prisoners until we have
finally abolished the lease system.
1t is not here insisted that prison
ers in the work houses and peniten-
tiary of the state should live in idle
ness and luxury. On the contrary we
believe they should work; in fact ev-
cry one physically able, inside or out
side of Jail, should be engaged in
some useful occupation. But we DO
insist our work houses should be
sanitary; that they should always be
free firm vermin; that prisoners
should not be subjected to infectious
and communicable diseases; that
some reasonable safeguards should
be thrown around their health. We
believe, too, that they should have
good and wholesome food; that their
beds should be clean and decent and
that cruel and inhuman punishment
should be abolished.
Now in order 20 achieve these re-
suits we will have to suffer some loss
Of profits. And right herein lies one
of the prime causes Of the defects in
our system, we are altogether too
much concerned about the financial
returns to the state from our convict
labor. 1t has been our boast that
our convict system was, in dollars
and cents, one of the most profitable
In the entire Union. We have over
looked the higher claims of humani-
ty in our mad desire to make money
out Of the labor of the direlicts of
society.

POSITION REMOVING OFFICIALS
Does Not Think a Governor Should
Have Such Power, But Proposes
Recall or Lodgment In Courts or
Commission-Strong Document.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 9.-In
reply to letter from w. r. Hamilton,
SECRETARY of the Tennessee Anti-Sa-
loon League, in which he was asked
to define his position upon the pres
emit temperance laws and the enact
nfent of future temperance legisla-
tion, Hon. Thomas c. Rye, democrat
ic candidate for governor, today
maed public the following answer:
July s, 1914.-Hon. w. R. Hamil-
ton, Nashville, Tenn: Dear SIRE
plying to your letter of the second
inst, will say / favor the enactment
of the four laws indicated in your let
tef.
I'm regard to "a law that will place
the power somewhere for the remov-
al from Office of any all state, county
and municipal officials who violate
their sworn obligations to enforce
the laws, / will say that there can
be no excuse or justification for an
official who does not at least make an
honest effort to discharge his duty,
and some speedy remedy should be
provided by which such official can be
made to render to the public the ser
vice for which he was elected or be
suspended or removed from Office.
II do not think any governor
should have this power, but that it
should be vested in the people
through the means 'of recall or
lodged in the courts or commission.
If the latter means be chosen such
power should be as far removed from
local conditions and party politics as
possible, SO that it may be used wise
ly and Justly, and at all times in the
interest Of the citizens of the COM
monwealth, and never in the interest
of or for the benefit of an individ-
uaL
Il shall advocate the election OF
legislature pledged to the enactment
Of laws like these for the reason that
the platform on which stand as a
candidate means to me and to every
man who can understand plain En-
glish, that the democratic party and
its candidates are unequivocally COM
mitted to the maintenance of all the
laws which have been enacted for
the regulation, suppression and de-
struction of the liquor traffic as bev-
erage in Tennessee, and for the en-
actment of such other laws as may
be necessary to their enforcement,
and this cannot be done without a
legislature in hearty accord and SYM
pathy with the democratic platform.
will, therefore, urge the passage of
such laws as may be necessary to
this end.
Il favor the proposed amendment
to the federal constitution referred
to in your letter, believing as l do
that when the stream has become pol
luted that the most effective remedy
to purify the waters is to go to the
fountain head; and believing in this
principle, l supported the state con.
stitutional amendment in 1887. So
that If an amendment such as sug-
gested by you should be submitted
by congress, will, as governor, urge
the legislature to ratify it. Very re-
specially, TOM c. RYE"
