Rankin and to them two children were

of the soul where there is no parting.

UP AGAINST IT.

We are up against it for news this
week. All the old bachelors of the
town are so skittish over the hard
times that they won't get married,
and thus help to fill our columns with
interesting news regarding such occur
rences, and the married men are 30
busy paying doctor bills for sick child
rem that they haven't either time or
money to get out and get drunk and
thus afford some more sensations.
However the latter good old times are
coming back about Christmas time
80 as to celebrate the birth Of Christ
properly, while the rest Of the world
is engaged in killing one another.
There is absolutely nothing stirring.
We beg the pardon Of the flea family,
however, for this statement There
is something stirring, An sinvestiga-
ton proves it to be member of that
illustrious family. They are always
up and doing.
Strange to say, for the last six
months there hasn't been railroad or
coal mine mentioned for this place.
Heretofore we could get railroad or
a coal mine started most any old time,
but Just at present they are dead
deader with pardon of MI. English
GRAMMAR than they we're twenty five
years ago. At this rate, fifty years
from now coal coal mine or propos-
ed road in Sequachee can't be even
smelt. A detective should be put on
the Job and see where those coal mines
and railroad projects have gone to.
About the only thing exciting is the
achievements of the small boy..chestnut
hunting. He will get on limb and
crawl out where the burs are-thickest
and pick them off as if he were an an
gel-and not the opposite in the minds
of considerable portion of the con-
gregation of the community. Then he
will eat peck of chestnuts and sit
down for supper as hungry as bear,
while if a strong man eats two of the
things he calls for stomach pump
and six doctors to hold him while an
other pumps and counts mp the fee
There is absolutely nothing doing
in excitement. All the big fish have
been caught, or have left for Salt
Creek to await the defeated candidates
of November next, and old chicken
eating sows are scarce. They perish
ed nearly all in glory last winter with
cholera, and their progeny have not
yet got big enough to take no their
trade. However, when you hear a
howl like a ComancheIndian on a wal
loot, you can just bet chicken eater
from radius of fifteen miles has Just |
got in it's work. Wise men then |
stay in doors or hide in the cellar, but |
FOOLISH men who want to get into trou-
Die stick their heads out of a window
md loose half their occiput in
It's criminal folly to in
7estigate such matters. Best let the
log and the woman reason it out to-
,ether. A red-headed woman and a
ock and chicken eating pig will
,eat a red-headed negro grabbing the,
eft hind leg of rabbit in grave
ard at 70 III. every clip.
With these Sc nsations out, as we re-
marked before, there is nothing doing
II this town.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local application as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
andthat is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con,
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound of
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is theresult, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed
forever; nihe cases out of ten are caus
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but an
Unnamed condition of the mucous sur

LAWYERS IN
CONTEST OVER FEES
Marion County Lawyers File Unusual Mo-
ti0n in Chattanooga.

A controversy over lawyers fees in
the case of Barker against the Tennes-
see Power company, which was COM
promised, was begun Monday morning
before Judge Bachman in circuit
court, when Morrison and Milwee,
Marion county firm of lawyers, filed
a motion to settle the question as to
whether they were employed as at
torneys in the case. The motion was
gainst the firm of ..Tatum q Thatch.
The Barker case was compounded be-
fore il came to trial. The defendant
paid the sum of S., 900 as a comprom-
Use. The sum of 81, 1913. 33 was paid to
Tatum 8 Thatch as attorneys teT the
plaintiff. The case arose in Marion
county and Morrison & Milwee charge
that they we're the original attorneys
and that the firm of Tatum & Thatch
was brought into tie litigation upon
the recommendation Of themselves.
They claim that they are entitled to II
portion of the fee. On the other hand,
Messrs. Tatum & Thatcb claim that
they were the original attorneys, en-
ployed personally by the plaintiff, to
prosecute the suit, and that the firm
Of Morrison & Milwee is mot entitled
to share in the fees for the reason that
it had no connection whatever with
the case. Judge Baohman passed the
motion until next Monday morning. -

PRISONERS ROAD LAW.

Herewith is a rough draft of bill
which the News in the interest of the
roads of the country suggests should
be presented in next General Assemb-
ly of Tennessee:
Sec. /. Be it enacted by the Gener-
al Assembly of the State of TENNESSEE,
That each county shall have jurisdic-
tion over its own convicts, who shall
serve their sentences upon the public
roads of the county in which they
were convicted, working not over
eight hours a day. ~
Sec. Q. Be it further enacted, That
any prisoner, remanded to Jail for
further trial or awaiting trial, shall
be subject to such road work, but il
in event he is proven not, guilty of
charge against him, he shall be paid
on liberation one dollar per day for
his work.
Sec 3. Convicts and Jail prisoners
shall be under the jurisdiction of the
sheriff of the county, and his deputies,
who shall be responsible for their nom
escape, and under bond in a surety
company for each prisoner.
Sec. A. Be it further enacted, That
prisoners shall at all times be treated
humanely and shall not be compelled
to work In inclement weather, and
for extra good work performed shall
have an allowance upon Liberation of
ten cents per day for each days work
performed, to be paid from general
county funds of county by county
judge, provision having been made by
county court
Sec. 5. Be it further enacted, That
sheriffs of adjoining counties may
unite their prisoners in camp for the
building or repairing of special
piece of road, which will be of mu
tual advantage to the counties con-
cerned.
Sec g. Be it further enacted that
this act take effect at once, the public
welfare requiring it,
The above is suggestion only, and
has many defects. We are
opposed to the use of convicts in mines
in competition with labor, and want
them placed on the public roads where
work is greatly needed.

Although few people are aware of the
fact, conscrlption has been part of the
British constitution for 700 or 800
years, The mllitia law states that ev-

eighteen and thirty is liable to be
called upon for military service and
that cach county must furnish a con-

AT the time of the Napoleonic wars this
law was actually applied, but since

When They Reach the Wonderful "oiI
Spot" off Sabine Pass.
A freak of nature never fully de-
scribed Is the wonderful "oil spot" sit
uated about ten miles south Of Sabine
pass. into which flows the Sabine river
to the gulf of Mexico. The river forms
the boundary between the states Of
Louisiana and Texas. The "oil spot
extends two miles along shore and sea-
ward about three-quarters of mile A
storm from the northeast, by way Of
east to southeast, has rate Of from
300 to 700 miles across the gulf Of
Mexico into this mystic haven
During gale this spot is wonder
fully defined. Looking seaward the
scene Is grand An acre Of towering
foam marks the abrupt dissolution Of
the lashing seas as they thunder to-
ward the shore. This occurs in about
three fathoms, or eighteen feet Of
water, from which the storm driven
craft, creaking and straining in every
timber, emerges and suddenly finds
herself reposing like child rocked in
its mothers arms, hemmed In by a wall
Of wrath, where the weary mariner
,an be lulled to rest by the roar of the
winds. The place is termed the "oil
spot" not from any known analysis Of
its nature, but simply from Its condi-
