PROF. W.T.. FOX ~ ID
GETS APPOINTMENT

Prof. w. Turney Fox, who has
been Principal of Edwina High
School during this year, leaves
Thursday of this week to accepta
position as assistant Mathematics
Professor in the East Tennessee
State Normal at johnson City.
This appointment came to Prof.
Fox, almost without solicitation,
President Gilbreath having formed
his acquaintance and sized him up
during the Teachers Institute
here last summer.
Superintendent 0. L. McMahan
placed Prof. Fox at Edwina, this
year, over considerable opposi-
ton in the person of Badly" N.
E. w. Stokely, as a candidate for
the place, recommended by Prof.
Allen Justus and backed by a
strong element of the school pat
rons. But Supt. McMahan never
felt that Stokely would or could
give the perfect satisfaction that
Prof. Fox would give and he
never gave up his fight for Mr..
Fox. He finally won and his ac-
ton in the fight was afterward
sanctioned be every patron of the
school, for Prof. Fox has certainly
made better success by far, in
the school there, than has any of
his predecessors since the days of
Pat. Williams.
The patrons of Edwina school
regret very much to give up their
splendid leader and teacher but
no one can blame him for leaving,
to accept a position of higher
rank, and which will pay him al
most twice as much as he is paid
by the Board here.
While at college Mr.. Fox was a
classmate with Supt. McMahan.
They both graduated in the same
class and the strong regard each
had for the other had bearing on
Prof. Fox's coming to this county
as a teacher in the Edwina School.
1t is also evident that Supt. Nc
Mahan has had a strong feeling
for the school ever since he
taught there in 1909, and being
anxious for it's. success, secured
the services of Prof. Fox. Prof.
McMahan will probably finish the
work of the unexpired term in
order to prevent any break in the
work.

The election of John Purroy Mitchell
brings his wife into great prominence
as official chatelaine of the city of
New York. Mrs. Mitchell, who before
her marriage to Mr.. Mitchell was a
Boston girl, Is the picture of strong.
healthy outdoor woman, and she holds
that every one could be healthy If he
or she would take regular exercise.
She is particularly interested in swim,
ming.
The wife of the new mayor elect is
also a strong champion of woman's
suffrage and believes that In ten years
hence women will have the ballot In
New York state. Although suf-
fragist, Mrs. Mitchell took no active
part in her husbands campaign. She
Is more interested in the work Of the
woman's auxiliary of the board of
health, which is aiding in the fight to
stamp out tuberculosis, than In the po-
litical game.
In a recent interview Mrs. Mitchell
was asked whether she would insist
upon her husband putting a ban on
the slit skirt and the filmy sartorial ef-
feet. Here her devotion to personal
liberty came out.
Indeed, ! would notv' she replied
"This is free country, and / believe
that every one should be allowed to
dress as she pleases. OF course II any
! style should be too extrayagant it
would bring its own punishment. Wo-
men should dress SO as to make them
selves most attractive, and extrava-
CANT dress will not do that"
Mrs. Mitchell alluded to the fact that
she liked housekeeping and would not
be content without her own home. So
the natural question was:
"If you like housekeeping, do you
like cooking?"
"Shall l tell lie or shall l tell the
TRUTH" she replied with charming
little laugh. "Tll say that / like to
cook in camp, and camping is great.
l would like to spend two months in
the woods that way every year. All
outdoor life is very attractive to me-"
Incidental to her remarks about
housekeeping, Mrs. Mitchell spoke Of
the criticism often heard Of the higher
education of women. Mrs. Mitchell be-
lieves that the more highly developed
a woman Is Intellectually the more
helpful she can be as wife. II am
not a college woman myself, but am
sorry that am not"

Newport People.

Thirty thousand voices-What
a grand chorus And that's the
number of American men and
women, who are publicly praising
Doan's Kidney Pills for relief from
backache, kidney and bladder ills.
They say it to friends. They tell
it in the home papers. Newport
people are in this chorus.
Here's a Newport case:
Mrs. M. E. Fancher, College Hill,
Newport, Tenn, says: For sever
al years was distressed by back
ache and weakness through my
loins and believe the trouble
was caused by an injury. The
kidney secretions were also dis
ordered. Doan's Kidney Pills,
which got from the MINIS Drug
Co., strengthened my back and
kidneys and after that, my condi-
ton improves in every way. | am

ENDORSE HOOPER

administration of President Will
son, but express regret that he
should have been led by the i'm
portunities and misinformation of
local politicians personally inter-
ested, to take part in state mat
tiers. They also endorse the Of
ficial course of Judge Williams
and Governor Hooper, although
disclaiming any intention to pledge
the independent democrats as to
any future candidates.
The committee suggested to the
state officials who are charged
with the duty of choosing the new
election commissioner that they
inquire of Judge Young his in
tentions in regard to the appoint
ment Of independent democrats
on the county commission. They
requested the state officials to
make sure that independents
would be properly represented in
each county, as well as regulars
and republicans.
Two state conventions are call
ed, one at noon on April %, to
nominate supreme Judge. and
the second at 3 p. m. on the same
day to consider nominations for
governor and railroad commits
Sioner.
The meeting was strictly a test
of strength between the independ-
ents who desire to remain indie
pendent and those who wish to
wait on the regulars and see what
they are going to do.
Senator Luke Lea was in close
touch with the situation and
sought to control the action of the
committee. He was represented
in Nashville by Chairman Amis,
of the committee who came here
from Asheville, N. c., where Lea
was Sunday afternoon. Others
active in efforts to secure post
ponement were Geo. F. Milton,
James |. Finney and F. M. Ewing.
Speeches were made before the
committee by Major Stahlman,
DR.. G. w. Dyer, Senator Robert
Fulton, Senator S. H. Williams,
w. B. Swaney, T. w. Keller and
others favoring the resolutions,
while Mr.. Milton, Mr.. Finney and
Committeeman Algcod opposed
them.

WEAVER'S ARM
NEEDS ATTENTION
Hurt 1t While Pitching in Cold
Rain and Goes to See
BOneSetter.

Orley Weaver has gone to
Youngstown, Ohio, where he is
having his arm worked on by
Bonesetter Reese who has put the
arms of many good twirlers back
in shape. The following story
was sent out from New Orleans
regarding Orley last week:
Buck Weaver, who is being
counted on by Manager Johnny
Dobbs as one of the mainstays of
the Pelican pitching staff this sea-
son, will leave for Youngstown,
o., shortly to visit BoneSetter
Reese and have that individual
place his pitching arm in right
shape for strenuous campaign.
Weaver was ordered to visit Reese
by Dobbs, who declares he does
not want to take a chance on hay
ing one of his hurlers on the in
jured list.
Since Weaver reported here
he has been showing lots of form,
but his arm is still sore from the
effects of a game he pitched in a
cold driving rain at Chattanooga
last season. He won that contest
6 to l, but it placed him an the
hospital list. Manager Dobbs is
counting on him finishing the sea-
son here and will have him in the
best possible shape"

Mr.. Bowser made up his mind that
he had been remiss, and that he must
make up for it.
He had his dignity on when he en-
tered the house at the usual hour.
His attitude during the dinner hour
was eminently frozen and proper. He
had intended to find fault with the din
ner, but it was so good that he couldn't
say word. He was fishing for some
thing, however. and by and by he found
it. He noticed a stain on the carpet,
and exclaimed:
so the whole house is going to ruin
for the want of proper attention. No
matter how much buy you manage to
destroy it,
Whats the matter now?" asked Mrs.
BOwSer as she turned on him.
THE matter is that you hunted up
the ink bottle and poured the contents
on this carpet. Look at that spot over
there. Nice sight to greet the eye OF
a husband. isn't it?''
This carpet is three years DID, Mr..
Rowser, and that stain has been there
for two years. You made it yourself
by upsetting a bottle Of hair-dye, and
| though I have used everything I could
think of 1 have been unable to take it

me!' he shouted as he sprang up.
Woman, permit
sit down." commanded Mrs. Bowser,
as she pointed at him. Nov, then l
want to have a little talk with you.
You are dissatisfied as to the way this
house is rum"
Yes, 1 am dissatisfied" replied Mr..
Bowser as he sat down in surprise.
Then why don't you leave it?
There is no 70. around you-no rea-
son why you should stay here and feel
yourself a martyr
"You-you are talking to me?"
| I'm talking straight at you, sir!
Every week or so you raise a row
about your shirts, collars or socks. I
want you to stop such conduct II
you don't I'll ga er them all up and
pitch them out the window"
"This-this is Mrs. Bowser!' he
gasped as he rubbed his eyes and
stared at her.
"This is Mrs. Bowser. sir, the wife
of Mr.. Bowser, the biggest crank in
| America. She has put up with your
nagging just as long as she can. If
there is any more Of it you will hear
something drop! There are a few lit
| tie things that I want to speak about.
You always find fault with the gas
bill, no matter whether it is more OF
less. You either quit that or we'll
| turn to ta1low candles. I don't in
hale the gas or give it to beggars.'

| around the room to see if he was in
his own house-"Say, -

BoWSER'S Two WEEKS
He Went That Long without Starting
Row.


Mr.. Bowser sat in his office thinking.
1t had been two whole weeks since
there was row in his house.
This was unprecedented
Was lie growing old and absent
minded?
Was he neglecting the things that
should not be forgotten?
By neglecting to raise row wasn't
he holding out false hopes to Mrs.
Bowser? Wouldn't she soon be taking
advantage of his peaceful state of
mind?
Hadn't there been two or three indi-
cations of late that she wanted to
take the bossing of things into her
own hands?
Mrs. Bowser was no serf. but there
were limits beyond which no wife
should he allowed to go.
A husband shouldn't be tyrant, but
ne should rule his own house and
charge his wife with extravaganza.
Perhaps q husband should talk things
over with his wife. but he shouldn't
pay much heed to what she said.

There was trouble at the boarding
house at ECO Crane street the other night.
I was called there about 10 O'Clock the
other night. Mrs. Sarah Root, old and
crippled, complained of bad treatment by
man named Wilson and woman hav-
ing rooms at the place. The women had
had fight a short time before and the
unknown woman had dashed some hot
water into the face of the old lady The
man owed her considerable rent. and the
old lady thought they were not fit peo-
pie to be in her house and she wanted
them arrested. 1 told the old lady she
could serve papers on them to leave the
house and that she could collect the
money through the debtors court The
old lady felt better after I had, talked to
made just then. hoping that things would
work out all right.
