WILLIAMS AT HOME.

In this issue The Herald reproduc-
es in full an editorial from the John
son City Staff, published at the home
of Justice s. G. Williams, and a paper
that knows Justice Williams and his
life at home. Stronger words of COM
mendation could not be written about
any man. This statement of fact
shows that Justice Williams has
measured up to the very highest
standard as a citizen. He has been
generous, unselfish and successful.
He has prospered but in his prospect
ty he has not forgotten worthy
claims. His home life, his church
relations, his record as citizen, his
career as a lawyer and his work
upon the bench, all make him excep-
tional timber for the supreme court.
The people of Tennessee should con-
graduate themselves that they have
an opportunity to elect man of the
character, life and attainments of
Justice Williams.
1t has been widely published that
Judge Burrow, candidate against Mr.
Williams, has received the endorse
ment of largely more than majority
Of the lawyers of Johnson City. But
investigation proves that this is
Gross exaggeration. 1t is openly
charged that Judge Burrow personal
ly asked for the endorsements which
he did obtain; that several lawyers
signed his paper because not to do SO
would subject them to an embarrass-
ment that they could not escape. 1t
is also stated that less than half OF
the members of the bar signed the
endorsement 1t should also be taken
into consideration that Judge Burrow
has lived at Johnson City for a quar-
ter of a century and has a law office
there, and is member of that bar
as well as the bar at Bristol. Had
Judge Williams cared to resort to the
tactics of the ward politician and
personally solicited endorsements
from che bar of his home he would
probably have received practically
the entire list of lawyers.
Every man who knows Justice Will
iiams and who is fair and not blind
ed by partisan hate, will agree that
he stands at the top in his home as
lawyer and as a citizen and misrep-
reservations will not hurt him or help
Judge Burrow.

Politicians are "amoosin cusses."
Here we have Preston laundering
against the plan for selecting dele
gates to the democratic convention
In Davidson county while he is the
beneficiary of the identical plan in
his own county Of Hamilton. Neither
plan is to be defended; the ward mob
meeting in the large cities is about
the best method known for stirling
the will Of the people, but why should
we worry when the people apparent
iy care so little?

If, as is reported from Washington,
the entire congressional delegation
should attend the coming democra-
tic state convention it would be the
first time that the boys up there
have all placed themselves squarely
on the other side of the fence since
this cruel war began. But most any
thing is better than a perpetual seat
astride q barbed wire fence.

One Of these days we are going
down into Mexico and regulate It,;
clean up the country, give 1t good
government, one that will at least
measurably protect life and proper
ty, and also give It the Language that
Shakespeare spake and the morals
that Milton held" That time may
not be now or the next decade, but
It is coming. Then why not do the
job nov?

II should be the highest aim OF a
newspaper to print all the news that
is At to print in clear, straightfor-
ward and as nearly correct manner
as possible, leaving comment for the
editorial columns. We regret the ten
dency Of certain leading newspapers
of the state to depart from this rule.

It looks like Rye for the Democratic
nomination for governor. The fail

success OF Rye.

mighty little regard for the South

generally shared by the folks Of this
country.

SEVENTEEN-YEAR LOCUST
DUE HERE THIS YEAR.

The 17-year locust, last seen in
1879, is due to re-appear this year, ac-
cording to a late bulletin sent out by
the State Agricultural Experiment
Station at Lexington, warning farm
ers and fruit growers. The 17-year
locust is harmful, because in the
warm state it lives by sucking sap out
of the roots of trees and shrubbery
and when the eggs are laid, trees and
plants on which they are deposited
die. The locust is the longest lived
insect known to scientists. Seven
teen years ago the eggs from which
this years crop of locust will be
Matched were laid on trees and shrub
berry. The eggs, after three weeks
developed into worms, which dropped
from the trees and burrowed into the
ground where they have lived since
1897 preying on the roots of trees.
Early in July the worms are expected
to re-appear and will develop into the
locust.

CHILD LABOR LAW is
NOW IN EFFECT

The child labor law, as passed by
the last Legislature is now in effect
Some of the special changes to
which public attention is called is
that every child between the ages OF
fourteen and sixteen years must have
permit to work, even to the selling
of papers. Every newsbog holding
this permit will be given badge
which he is expected to wear as a
demonstration of his authority.
Another change is that no child be-
tween the ages of fourteen and six.
teen years shall be permitted to work
more than eight hours a day. The
former provision was ten hours.
No child under fourteen is allowed
to work at all.
Another radical change is in the
night messenger service. No boy I'm.
der twenty-one years of age may now
deliver messages after s p. m. The
age limit for night messenger service
was formerly sixteen years.
In bringing about improved condi
tions by the enforcement of these
employer and emplOye will be sought

1t is understood that in certain
cases it will require some time fol
the employer to adjust his forces tC

child labor law. The State Labor In

would be policy of the State Depart
ment of Labor to work with the EN-
ployer and in hearty cooperation
with all persons interested in the chill

POISONING CASES STILL
SHROUDED IN MYSTERY.

There have been no new develop
ments that would lead to the solv-
ing of the mystery surrounding the
deaths of the Hughes children in this
city some weeks ago. The analysis
of the water supposed to have been
poisoned, showed no traces of poison
ing. An analysis of the stomach of
Llewellyn Hughes, one of the victims,
was unable to show evidences of pOis-
oning. The theory of ptomaine pois-
oning, caused by eating canned sal
mon, is still adhered to.

HUNTERS HEWARE!. DON'T
SHOOT WILD FOWLS!

1t will be worth while for hunters
all over the country to remember
that Federal law is now in force
which makes illegal the spring shoot
ing of migratory or interstate wild
fowls. Any man who kill these birds
under the terms of the hunters lie
ense issued to him by the authorities
of his own State does so at his own
risk. United States Marshals and the
State and County Game Wardens do
not care a rap whether or not the
offender is cousin, uncle or nephew
of folks standing high in the commu-
nifty, and the sooner the law is re-
spected and observed the better it
will be for all concerned.

PARIS FIRM MAKES BIG
PURCHASE OF BLUEGRASS SEED

The Winchester Democrat says:
Tom Brock will finish gathering his
1914 crop of bluegrass seed to-day and
will have about 10000 bushels. Mr..
Brock has contracted for the sale of
the entire crop to- Mr.. Ford Brent, of
Paris, at so cents per bushel, which
will net about $4,000. This is for
later delivery. The dealers are only
offering 80 cents at best, for the crop
at the shippers, and it is likely that
the bulk of it will be retained by the
growers and cured and delivered
sometime in August. Mr.. Warwick
Gay will finish this week gathering
about $1,000"

PARIS INSURANCE AGENTS
GET BUSY ONCE MORE

Local insurance men are again
writing policies as fast asst hey can
get them, most of them having re-
ceived kilograms from the companies
they represent, informing them that
all difficulties have been settled, and
to resume at once. The local men
are well pleased with the news, and
many citizens whose property has
been unprotected have been busy re-
newing policies.
Some of the agents who represent
several companies had not heard from
all of them, but the others were ex-
pected to send word soon that they
were again open for business.

LOUISVILLE e. NASHVILLE WILL
DOUBLE HEAD FREIGTH TRAINS

1t is rumored here that the Louis
vile and Nashville railroad is shortly
to double head it's freight trains from
Cincinnati, which will be the cause of
removing a number of train crews
from Paris to Lexington, and cause
the removal of about twenty-five fam
lilies from this city. This would
cause a considerable loss of revenue
to Paris merchants. 1t is hoped that
it is merely a rumor, as the move if
put into action, would mean very
serious loss to the business interests
of this city.
