One of the chief disadvantages that

Of feeders for the average farmer to
finish than the class of feeders that

Many failures among feeders can
be traced directly to the fact that
they are not acquainted with the eff.
fects of acclimation and domestication
Of the purchased feeders and fail to
get them started of In good condi.

Then again some farmers come to
the conclusion that 1t Is Improbable
to keep a herd of cows and believe
that they IA buy their feeders for
less money than they can afford to
grow them. These men soon find
their mistake. and many who have
sold their GOV herds are now develop

OF BACK TAX MATTERS;
KNOXVILLE GAS co.
PAYS OVER SUM OF $3.50
Dispositions Taken to be Used in Suit
: to Recover Certain Sums Charg-
ed as Not Accounted For.

Bristol, Tenn, Nov. 23.-The taking
of depositions in the suit in chancery
instituted by Comptroller Woollen,
seeking to recover from State Senator
j. Parks Worley more than $1,000 he
is alleged not to have accounted for
while serving as state revenue agent
in the counties of East Tennessee, was
begun here today. Attorneys c. A.
Brown, of Blountville, and Harry H.
Shelton, of Bristol, are representing
Senator Worley, while the prosecution
| is represented by the law firm of
Harr e Burrow, of Bristol and John
son City.
The deposition of Samuel M. Vance,
general manager of the Bristol Gas
and Electric company, was the only
one taken here. Mr.. Vance VISA asked
concerning the claim that he had paid
some $3.50 to Mr.. Worley when the
latter was employed in the capacity
of state revenue agent.
In his deposition Vance stated in
substance that as manager of the Bris-
tol Gas and Electric company, he is
sued voucher to Worley for $3.50.
This voucher VISA dated July 2, 1912
1t was written on request of the
Knoxville Gas company which had
asked Vance to make the best settle
ment he could of the back tax claim.
Vance said this request was made of
him because the Bristol plant and the
Knoxville plant were owned by the
same corporation. Vance testified
that the signature of Worley's name
to the voucher was genuine. Vance
stated that all that he had paid out
in settlement of this back tax claim
of the Knoxville company was $500
a voucher for $50 having been issued
for former Gov. Cox When asked
why Cox was paid this sum, he stated
that Cox had at intervals been en-
ployed by the company to aid him in
financial and other matters, indicating
that the voucher to Cox was for per-
sonal services as counsel.
Il was requested" Vance stated, "by
the Knoxville company to see if
could get them relief in any way,
After the matter had been compromis-
ed we billed the Knoxville company
for the amount that had been paid
out"

Abingdon, Va, Nov. 25.-Fire dis
covered at 1880 o'clock this morning
totally destroyed the main building
and the chapel of Stonewall Jackson
institute and at 3:40 the old Patter-
son church on the institute grounds
seemed doomed. A northeast wind
blew the sparks from the burning
buildings to other property and it is
feared that unless the Bristol fire de-
partment, which was summoned and
left for Abingdon at 3:15, arrives in
time, the whole east end of the city
may go up in flames.
The situation is made worse since
the water supply is low, and even
with adequate fire-fighting apparatus
the checking of the flames will be
serious matter.
The fire in Stonewall jackson insti-
tute originated in one of the lower
parlors from supposed defective cleo
trio wiring, and was discovered by
Mrs. McCue, wife of the institute prin-
cipal. The sixty girl students of the
school were safely removed and are
now quartered in the buildings of the
Martha Washington College.
When the fire gained headway it
looked as if Martha washington Col
lege, which adjoins Stonewall Jack
son on the west, was in danger, for
the sparks were flying in every direc-
ton. A stiff breeze to the northeast,
howyer, removed this danger, only to
transfer it to other sections.
The Abingdon fire department vain
ly stroye to check the havoc the flames
were working ON the Stonewall jack
son institute buildings, and when it
was evident that other property was
in danger, Mayor Crabtree telephoned
to Bristol, Va, for aid.
The Bristol, Va, fire truck AMI
apparatus left the fire hall at Bristol
at 3:15 a. M, and is expected to ar
rive at 400. Since arrangements for
train could not be made quickly
enough, Fire Chief Kellar decided to
bring the big truck by way of the
pike roads, but the ordinarily easy
journey will be made hard by the
conditions brought about by the re-
cent snow
The Bristol, Va, fire department
was augmented by volunteers from
the Bristol, Tenn, department, who
are coming by an extra automobile,
which will make total of Is firemen
