ROOF IS BURNED FROM
TInnTR IN SFTNDAY RI.AZE

Fire of an unknown origin at SIS
o'clock Sunday morning practically
burned the roof from the residence Of
f A. Akard. 1911 Prospect avenue.
The damage done will approximate
$500. The fire started under the roof
Of the two story dwelling and rapidly
burned its way to the top. The work
of the firemen kept the flames from
spreading to the lower part.

gage in another line of work, to
which we believe that we were called
when on the Threshold of young
manhood.
The policy of the paper will re-
main the same, that of Independent
Republican. The young men who
have charge deserve the patronage
of the people, and we hope and trust
that all our friends will stand by
them as Loyalty as they have stood
by US. They expect to improve the
paper, and give Maryville and
Blount County a first-class news
paper, up-to-date in every particu-
lar.
From the depths of our heart, we
wish each and every one OF our read
ers a long, happy, prosperous lie
here and an entrance into that life
which never ends when your pilgrim
age on earth is ended. Collectively
and individually we shall never for
ret YOU, until our eyes are closed
forever and our "poor lisping stam-
mering tongue lies silent IN the

Sincerely Yours,

governor, just such as Governor
Hooper has been ana is, to guide the
affairs of the state, and see that the
laws of the state are enforced.
Rye may be a good man, and it
might be that he would enforce the
laws, or cause it to be done. We only
have to infer that We know what
Hooper will do and there is no in
ference as to that. Is it good policy
at this critical time in the history of
cur state, to run the risk of ex-
changing one known to all, and one
that stands above question or doubt,
for one not known? What kind of
condition would we have been in
now, had it not been for the iron
nerve and will of Governor Hooper?
With that corrupt combination be-
tween what was known as the ''Te-
gulars" and the "Crump" represen-
tatives, who went to the extreme of
placing a lot of armed DULLES at the
door of the house to hold the repre-
sentatives of a free state, and force
them into the support of measures
contrary to their sworn duty. Resort
also being had to other arbitrary and
uncOnsciounable means to overcome
the will of the people of the state,
and force the members and Governor
Hooper to submit to just such as
disregard the welfare of the state.
The governor, however, kept his tenn
per, stood like a rock and his policy
was carried. Not only carried, but
here comes the regulars who fought
him, and in convention, came around
like Lizards and crawled upon his
platform! Thank God for Hooper
with his courage, good sense and
iron nerve, to meet just such emer-
gencies and save the state!
Rye may be good man, in earn
est, patriotic and all that, But there
is one thing we must remember. Not
withstanding his supposed platform,
if he is elected it will be the votes
such as are under the thumb of
Crump and Howse, and other viola
tors of the law that will aid in do
ing it. He will necessarily be under
obligations to them for his election.
1t may be that many good, temper
ance voters, pure and clean them
selves, may vote Tor him, but the
supporters of the lawless class will
be his supporters, en- masse. Liquor
dealers, liquor buns, law violators
and election corrup;ors, will be very
few among the supporters of Cover
nor Hooper.

ROTTEN FOODS

BY LUCIUS P. BROWN, COMMISSIONER
The Food and Drugs Act declares
that any food material is adulterat-
ed which is filthy, decomposed or
putrid, in whole or in part, or if it
is a product of a diseased animal
or one which has died otherwise
than by slaughter The chief consid-
GRAFTON in this connection is the sale
of filthy, decomposed or putrid foods.
Such things are :-rotten eggs; meat
which has "passed over the hill; !"
| swelled canned goods; vegetables
imported or ortherwise, that have
been held too long either in storage
or on the road; frozen oranges and
the like. The Tennessee Food and
Drugs Department has had a good
deal of trouble with all of this class
of material. For instance, during the
hot weather of the present summer
it was almost impossible to hold eggs
even for few days without a good
many of them spelling, and great
number of people were "called upon
the carpet" by the Department be-
cause of such eggs. In one of the
largest towns in the western part
of the State the Department along
with the Health Department of that
city last winter destroyed in the
neighborhood of car load of canned
apples which were bad stock to be-
gin with and had begun to ferment
in the cans. In another large city in
the State, in the Middle District,
car load of cabbage was discovered
of which water, as result of de-
composition of the cabbage, was run
ming. This was Immediately contis-
Gated and was sent out by the con-
signee to feed to his hogs. During
the past winter, there was great
deal of trouble with frozen oranges
coming in from California, ard
number of them were confiscated.
Possibly the word "confscation"
is the wrong one to use here as the
State law does not allow confisca-
ton. But in administering this
feature of the law, the option is Civ
en- to the holder of the goods Of ar
rest or of destruction of the goods.
A man can be prosecuted for having
illegal goods in possession with in
tent to sell, and as no man has food
stuffs of this charac5er in possession
"just for the fun of the thing"
every man means to sell them. When
such goods are found, the holder isl
given the option of arrest or CT al
lowing the destruction Ct the goods,
and in no case up TO this time has
there been a refusal to allow their
destruction by the Deparancny.
During tn year 1913 over rs tons
of goods unfit for food were destroy
ed by this Department. It is a ~ at
ter of pride with the Department
that during the year 1914 there has
been very little trouble on this ac-
count. The law has been strictly en-
forced; the dealers know it, and they
are, therefore, taking no chances.
Consumers can help Themselves
and the administrators of the law,
if they will watch for small patches
of this iknd of material and call the
attention of the persons holding
them to the provisions of the law.
If this warning is unheeded, quiet
note to the nearest Inspector OF the
Food and Drugs Department, ought |
to secure the necessary relief.

A BIG FACTOR IN
CROP GROWING

An important factor in the produc-
ton of staple farm crops and also
in the growth of early vegetables,
and one to which too little attention
has been paid in the past, is the
physical texture or mechanical con-
dition of the soils upon which they
are grown.
The average farmer thinks that so
long as his soils are filled with plant
food that he can produce profitable
crops, when, as matter of fact, the
availability of the plant food content
of the soil governs the crop produc-
ton to a much greater extent than
the amount of such food.
The only practical difference ex-
listing today between those soils
which we term WORKOUT and the
same soils when the virgin forest had
Just been removed lies in the differ
ence in the physical texture of those
soils, chemical analysis showing that
nearly identical amounts of plant
food are present with the exception
of nitrogen, but owing to the bad
mechanical condition of the soil
plants cannot make use of the food
which is there and except for the
fact that we improve the condition
of these worn soils to some extent
by stirring or cultivation, we could
grow no crop at all.
Nature, in preparing the earth for
mans habitation, stored up vast
quantities of plant food but left it
to mans ingenuity to render or keep
available for the use of plants the
necessary food. She has at the same
time furnished him hundreds Of OBJ
iect lessons as to the best methods
of doing this work, but man, with
his wasteful ways, has not 'Kep1 faith
with nature in these matters; so
that today, instead of having care
fully observed the plant food stored
up for his use, he has lost irrevoca-
bly, a large part of his patrimony,
and this and succeeding generations
are confronted with the problem, not
so much of keeping, but of restoring
the elements heretofore lost.
One of the means of both, directly
and indirectly improving the physi-
cal texture of our soils is by the
use of lime, its application to heavy
clayey loans rendering them easier
of cultivation by making them more
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1914-09-18

porous and lighter of texture, while
its application to sandy lands has
the opposite effect, binding them to-
gether and making them more re-
tentive of moisture. 1t also corrects
acidity of the soil and promotes the
growth of legumous plants, thus Civ
ing US larger amounts of vegetable
matter to turn under. This in turn
furnishes food for the countless
thousands of beneficial bacteria
which give life or productive capac-
ity to our soil, and where any free
nitric acid is present in the soil it
unites with the lime and form nitra-
tie of calcium, a substance carrying
nitrogen in the nitrate, or readily
available form.
In growing crops for the purpose
of improving the physical texture of
the soil, it is better to grow some of
the legumes, such as alfalfa, Grim
son, red or the other clovers, COW
peas or soy beans, as we not only
get as much green matter to turn
under as from the non-leguminous
plants, but we receive the additional
advantage of whatever nitrogen the
IOIliCL class u plduJS may nave
gathered from the air.
Of these crops the clovers are to
be preferred on account of their
enormous root growth, there being
sufficient of this, even where the
crop is mown for hay, to greatly in
crease the productive capacity of
soils where they are grown, and the
growth of these crops will obViate
the necessity of subsoiling, as their
roots penetrate to such depth that
when they decay the subsoil is rend-
cred porous enough to allow the wa
ter to go down without the land
having to be broken.
Where too much hardpan exists
to allow the roots free passage
downward it will be better to break
deeply with a disc pillow or subsoil
following the mold-board pillow, but
this should be done far enough in
advance of time of seeding to give
the ground a chance to settle and
become firm or the firming can be
done by narrowing and subsurface
packing.
By systematic rotation of crops
in which the leguminous crops take
their proper turn in occupying the
ground, the application of barnyard
manures, the use of the commercial
fertilizers supplying the mineral

NEW MANAGEMENT

With this issue the Times goes
under new management, the plant
having been purchased by DR.. J. H.
Mitchell and H. ]. Greenlee.
There will be no change in the
policy of the paper. 1t is our aim
TO make one among the best weekly
papers in East Tennessee.
H. j. Greenlee, who has always
been a Republican will be Editor
and General Manager. We hold all
our friends, both Democrats and Re
publicans, in highest esteem, and
will always be ready and willing at
any time to extend to them a help
ing hand in any way we can.
We also purchased the Subscrip-
ton list and those who are paid in
advance will receive their paper
right along, and those who are in
arrears will call and pay same to
the new editor when convenient to
do so.
We would be glad to meet every
Subscriber on the Times list person
ally and get acquainted with you.
We want to make the Times a paper
that you will gladly welcome to your
home, and with your assistance we
can be able to do so. If you have a
news item send it to US by mail or
Telephone, we'll be glad to have it.
Thanking the good people of
Maryville and Blount County for
their liberal patronage while en-
gagged in other business in Maryville
for the past two years, and solicit
ing a share of your influence and
patronage in our present business

GOODBYE
John H. Mitchell.

1t is with a feeling of mex.
pressible sadness, that we pen these
few words of farewell to the many
readers of the good old Maryville
Times. We have sold our plant, sub,
scription list and good will to j
H. Mitchell, and H. J. Greenlee two
of Maryville's hustling business men
DR.. Mitchell is a partner and man
ager of George q Mitchell's two
drug stores, although young in
years, his career as a business man
has been one of success from the
very beginning until now he stands
in the front ranks, Of our business
men. He does not know such word
as fail. Mr.. Greenlee, has held the
position of foreman at the Enter
prise office, for two years, and is
a newspaper man of the first order,
and a practical printer. He will be
editor and manager of the Times,
for which position he is we'll quail
fed.
In the year 1890 on the 9Th day
of October, Andrew Goddard and G.
S. Bishop, purchased the Maryville
Times from A. ]. Neff. This firm
edited and ran the paper until the
4OIlOWlIlS aug WhSll IIlS III III
was changed to A. Goddard & Sons,
When the Spanish-American War
broke out in 1898 Capt. Goddard en-
listed in the 4th Tenn, and went to
Cuba. The undersigned then took
charge of the paper as editor, when
only boy, and has edited the paper
for the past sixteen years, being on
duty nearly every week of this time,
without a rest and only one vaca-
ton of three weeks, that in the year
of 1909, when our health was such
that we were compelled to go to the
mountains for rest.
For nearly a quarter of CEN
fury the Times has been owned and
edited by the Goddard family and
it is like parting with one of our
loved ones to sell the paper and see
it pass into other hands. During all
these years, we have made our week
ly visits into your homes, talked
with you, rejoiced with you and
your successes, and extended SYM
pathy during the dark hours of sick
ness, sorrow and death. We have al
ways tried to do what we consider
ed right at all times, and under all
circumstances. Mistakes of course
we have made many, but they have
been honest ones, and our patrons
have been kind and generous enough
to throw the mantle of charity on
each and every one. We started with
a circulation of between three and
four hundred, and are now printing
14OO copies of the paper each week.
We are deeply grateful for the gen
erous and hearty support given US
during all these years. We can
never repay our host of friends for
their loyalty and fidelity they have
shown toward us. We go out with
the kindest of feelings toward all.
We have no enemies to punish, but
MANY many friends to reward.
We do not retire on account OF
not liking the work or because we
did not have a good business, but
were compelled to quit on account
of failing heath. For several years,
we have been afflicted with rhema-
tism, suffering intensely and our
musicians advise was to quit, ana
rest awhile, or go to the "long home
from which no traveller has ever re-
turned" And then we desire to en-

also call attention to the fact that
Lakeland, Barlow and Orlando issu-
ed bonds at al time when the Europ-
can war and the consequent depres-
sion was unheard OF; also that the
amounts they issued were smaller
than that asked for in Ot;a1a.
A number of people who are in
favor OF both sewerage and paving
say, and with reason, that the sewer
age system should be Installed be-
fore paving work is commenced, and
therefore bonds for paving should
not be issued now to be drawing in
terest a year or more before the
money should be used.
There is in fact much reason and
good sense on both sides, and the
matter should be PLAYED out as inn
partially and impersonally as a game

neither side feels aggrieFed.
Whatever the result of tomor-
rows election may be, let US accept
it in good humor and make the best
