ELECTRICIAN HAS A
THRILLING EXPERIENCE
(From Thursdays Daily.l

Ed. Harris, an electrician in the
employ OF the Mountain States T
and I. Company had a narrow cs-
cape from death yesterday morn
ing when after receiving a shock
of LOO vols he glmely climbed
half way down an electric pole, be-
came unconscious and fell the bal
ance of the way.
Harris was assigned to a job on
the big pole in front of the Clark
and Adams Lumber Company yard.
He reached the top in professional
style and commenced his work,
when suddenly his bare wrist came
in contact with the live electric
wire The shock of LOO volts sim
ply served to throw him away and
caused him to grab blindly for some
hold.
With remarkable nerve. he caught
himself and commenced t. climb
down the pole. As he reached a
point fifteen feet from the ground,
he became unconscious, lost his
grip and fell the balance of the
way. a physician was secured at
once.
Harris injuries were such. how
ever that he was enabled TO CON
tinue his work in the afternoon.

CHOICE SHOULD LIE
WITH THE PIONEER
(From Thursdays DaiIy.)

Advocating a change in the pres
ent system under which the Pio-
neers' Home is being conducted
Judge Frank o. Smith is planning
to take steps which may lead to
some interesting Developments at
the coming general election The
local jurist has also interested the
Monday Club, which recently took
a hand in the delay of the build
ing of the addition to the home and
through this medium the entire
State will be educated as to the
exact state of affairs with a view
of procuring votes in the right way
next November.
Judge Smith maintains that in
most cases it is cruel to take aged
men away from their homes and
friends and place chem among
strangers in one dOmicile. The av-
erage aged man becomes disgrun-
tied and is never satisfied with such
conditions.
There are now twelve eligible
pioneers in this county and over
100 in the State. who are awaiting
admittance to the home. These
men. he says. are just as much en-
titled to be there today as those in
mates who were more fortunate
And it is unlikely that more than
ten of those upon the waiting list
will be admitted within the next
twelve months.
Among the initiative petitions pro-
posed at the mex; election is one
advocating an old age pension and
another making it impossible for
the State legislature to amend leg
islation enacted by the people under
the initiative.
Judge Smith maintains that the
pioneer who is entitled to support
by the State in his old age should
be given the option of either en-
tering the home or receiving the
pension with which to live among
his friends and at his old home
The local jurist advocates an
amendment by the next legislature
to this effect to the initiative pc
tition. However. if both petitions
are passed at the next election. IL
will be impossible to do this.
Il costs upon an average OF $50
to SIS a month to keep each pio-
neer in the home. The judge be
lieves that $50 pension to old timers
permitting them to stay among
friends would be more than suifici-
cnt.
There have been many instances
cited to show that the system Of
today is not perfect One Old-timer
the other day declared: The way
to keep young is to be among young
people. 1t is impossible to do this
at the Pioneers Home. We have
a lot Of disgruntled old people
there and It is not their fault,

SIZE WILL MAKE
BALLOTS REAL CURIOS
(From Wednesdays Daily)

Just how bulky this years pri-
mary ballot will be in this county
can be CLEANED from the fact that
nearly twice as many petitions have
been received by the supervisors
as for the last election and that
the average length and breadth OF
the primary ballots of the different
parties for the last election was
twenty-four by twelve inches.
With the closing of the time limit
for the filing of petitions by candl-
dates yesterday afternoon, the clerk
Of the board of supervisors is in a
position to figure upon the pros
pectivc measurements of this year s
ballot. Another column will no
doubt be added to the Democratic
ballot while the length will be eX-
tended a foot or so.
The Democratic candidates for
the different Offices are as thick
as bees in a hive. over dozen
registering for the board OF super
visOrs alone. On the other hand.
the other parties have filed almost
single states.
While the primary ballot will in
itself be a curio, still it will be
nothing as compared to The general
election ballot. which will he about
six or eight feet in length. This
latter ballot will not only contain
the different candidates OF all the
parties but the initiative measures
put before the voters as well.
Conservatively speaking. It will
require the average voter fifteen
minutes time to vote the way he
or she wants to during the general
election.

FIRST PRIMARY
SCRAMBLE INTERESTING



Members OF the board of super
visors spent a busy session yester-
day afternoon checking the l79 petit
tons for Office submitted by can
didates in this county The num-
Der will be substantially diminish
ed by the time the county fathers
get through using the blue pencil
in compliance with the requirements
OF the law. A full list of the elig-
;ble candidates will be in the hands
of the county publisher today for
the printing of the official primary
ballots.
Some interesting facts are to be
CLEANED from the array of candi-
dates who have declared themselves.
There are ten Democratic candi-
dates for the nominations of super
visor: as many for the House of
Representatives seven for the State
Senate and FIVE for the shrievalty.
There is also a fight on for the
county recordership among the
Democrats.
There is but one fight in evidence
among the Republicans. the county
treasurer's office. The Progressives
did not place a full ticket in the
field. But one senatorial candidate
and two prospective representatives
have been named. Candidates have
also been named for clerk of the
Superior Court, county attorney and
the board of supervisors. The first
two named positions have no can
didates from the Republican party.
The Progressivcs will support the
Republican nominees for judges of
the Superior Court. county asses
sor. sheriff. county treasurer and
county school superintendent In
turn the Republicans are expected
to support the Progressive nominees
for clerk of the Superior Court and
the county attorneyship.
Pretty Fight.
There promises to be an inter
esting fight in the Prescott justice
precinct where three candidates are
lined up for the Democratic nomi-
nation. Justice of the Peace Mc-
Lane is out for reelection. He will
be opposed at the primaries by
Joseph Archambeau and Fred H.
Eckert.
Peculiar Lineup.
A peculiar lineup in the way of
women candidates is also offered
Mrs. Edith Ruffner is indorsed by
the Progressives for the county re-
cordership but she is not seeking
the Office officially under that stand
ard. On the contrary she is fight
ing for the Democratic nomination
against L. s. Colwell, the incumbent,
who is seeking reelection. The Re-
publicans have named William Ebel
for the place.
While Mrs. Ruffner is fighting for
the joint Endorsement of Democrats
and Progressives. Mrs. Gertrude
Twiggs is already assured TIE joint
support of the Progressives and Re
publicans for the office of county
school superintendent.

FOR REPRESENTATIVE

Mr.. W. Fl. Wilson, of South Pitts
burg, announces for representative in
this issue, on the democratic ticket,
election in November. Mr.. Wilson
proposes to look after the business in
terests of the state and let the politi-
cal interests go winding. He proposes
to let the prohibition and election
laws alone, and let them sink or
swim on their merits, but he proposes
to take whack at our present roao
system, which is not putting good
roads over tue county fast enough to
suit the people. He has some good
ideas along this line and will work to
get road law for Marion that will
not be burden to the people and will
do more than the present system does
for the roads. Mr. Wilson is not ma
king the race for emolument. but for
the service of the people and the bet
terment of Marion county.

AUTOS AND ROADS.

If the Legislature looks with favor
upon the suggestion contained in the
annual report of State Commissioner
OF Motor Vehicles J. Ell. Lippincott,
New Jersey will have a practical
method for increasing its revenue.
Not only will the scheme provide more
money for the maintenance of the
states roads. but it will afford funds
to be devoted to other purposes. His
recommendation is that the present
schedule of fees be repealed and that
80 cents per horsepower be charged for
all registrations. unless cars are ex-
empten from personal taxation, when
he would ADVISE that tue fee be about
81 more horsepower At present the
charge is "a so for horsepower up to
81 so FROM 10 to 90 and SIS for 30 or
more He says the new schedule
would in. ure revenue to the state of
81, 500, O00 = Chattanooga News.

mobile is proving dominant factor in

item shows what the automobile will
do for the roads Of New Jersey, and
we have yet to meet the auto owner
who ever complained of money that he

movement started in this country
with the advent of the bicycle, and
now the automobile is surging for

FROM OUR EXCHANGES.

The political campaign which is
about to open in Tennessee, gives
promise of one of the warmest politi-
cal contests that the State has ever
known; and unless the Democrats get
together in an effort to save the State
from shipwreck in the political mael-
strom into which the malconteuts
would lead the people, nothing but
discord amounting almost to a condi-
tion of chaos can only be the result.
The time for top waters, light weight
politicians and time servers has past.
Tennessee needs men, men of courage,
men of high ideals and men of brains
at the helm for the next two years.
Put none on guard but men who are
known to be good and true. -Tulla-
homa Guardian.
