Not John D. Atkins

In the Banner of Friday, Oct.
End the statement was made
that one John Atkins who de-
clared himself to have been a
life long democrat publicly sta
ted to Gov. Hooper that he was
for him" or words to that eff
feet.
Mr.. John D. Atkins, only son
of the late Gen. J. D. c. Atkins,
fearing that some one might con-
fuse him with the Atkins above
referred to wishes to state that
he not only did not make such
statement but did not even see
Gov. Hooper while here.
To those who know Mr.. At
kins' life long devotion to the
of democracy, this
statement is unnecessary for the

clients and Payne in four differ

any one of the indictments. All
of these indictments were based
alone upon the fact that they
had procured soft drink license

members of the grand jury that

not a one of them testified to
buying any intoxicating drink
from these parties.

dicted, and Gen. Rye has each
time continued the cases by per-
mission of the court over my
protests and that of my clients,
his evident purpose being to hold
the indictments over them as a
terror to them, knowing that he
could not convict them on trial,
as | had from eight to ten wit
nesses present who would have
testified that the beer they sold
was not intoxicating. The eff

BERRY UNMASKS
THE TRUE HOOPER
George L. Berry Spoke To Big Crowd
At Courthouse Monday Night. Tells
Facts About Hooper and His Gang.

Hon. George l.. Berry, OF
Rogersville, spoke here Monday
night at the courthouse to a we'll
filled house, Notwithstanding the
fact that a big revival meeting is
being conducted at the First
Methodist church by the Rev.
VIM. G. Swope, and in addition
it was the opening night for an
all the-Week tent show" with
the usual normal attractions, all
of which indicates the great in
terest evidenced in this cam
paign. A number of railroad
and shop men were in the audi
ence, and Mr.. Berry made special
reference to remedial railroad
legislation, and attacked Gov
Hooper for his failure to bring
about the enactment of the fell
low servants bill particularly.
1t was shown that notwithstand-
ing the governors alleged inter-
est and support to this necessary
law, he had nevertheless failed
to recommend it in any of the
many special calls for es'tra ses-
sions of the legislature during his
administration.
Mr.. Berry pointed out in be-
half of the democratic party and
it's nominees, that the same broad
support would be given the
workers of this state by a state
democratic administration, as has
been eXemplified by the national
democratic administration of
President Wilson.
Mr.. Berry touched upon the
temperance question, and said in
the candidacy of Gen. Rye, the
party has offered to the citizen
ship of this state a man of integ-
rity and responsibility, who be-
lieved and advocated the broad
principles of temperance before
our present chief executive was
ever heard of. Mr.. Berry de-
nounced the manner in which
the prohibition question has been
used by the governor as a politi-
cal asset and declared that if it
was taken away from him he
would dry up and blow away as
a statesman. He said Hooper
has used the prohibition ques-
ton for political purposes. The
genuine temperance advocates
of the state are exemplifed, ac-
cording to Mr.. Berry, in the
statement of Gen. Morrell, Of
Knox county, a clean and honora-
BILE republican, and the action
of many of the members of the
last legislature who practiced in
temperance during the period of
their abscondance shows their
insincerity.
The claim that the governor
was made the king Of the hill
billies" at the time of his Paris
appearance, was answered by
Mr.. Berry in declaring that the
governor had never turned a clod
of dirt, but that if he was a hill
billy he was Texas or an Okla
homa hill billy, for it is in those
states that he spent his salary as
the governor of this common
wealth in buying land instead of
investing it at home.
Mr.. Berry compared the state
of Tennessee with Ohio of five
years ago when it was bedridden
with monopoly and stagnant in
dustrial conditions, which has
been changed through the elec.
ton of a democratic governor and
legislature, and today stands out
ac ono of tho y,oodal prarracp;x.

crete liquor. | understand that
the delivery of the whiskey to
the detectivs by the other white
man arrested was made in bus
mess house of two of the most
ardent supporters of Gov. Hoop
er in this town, and it is believed
by quite a number of the citizens
that the whiskey was secured
there. None of the parties ex-
cept the negroes mentioned in
the many articles was ever
charged with bootlegging, as |
understand the term of bootleg
ging, At the time they were in
dicted they were engaged in run
ming stores and other business
houses, and were selling the beer
in connection Herewith, while
we understood bootlegging to
mean prowling over the town
with liqour in the pockets. In
this connection want to relate
a remarkable coincidence. A few
weeks before the last detectives
came here one was secured by
j. R. Spicer, heretofore an ar
dent supporter of Gov. Hooper,
and a reputable minister of the
Methodist church. This detect
i've reported to them the names
of several parties here, but Mr..
Spicer said in a public meeting,
some of which would startle the
town if made public, and one of
these, I am credibly informed,
was leader of the Hooper forces
in this town, and at this busi-
ness house, many conferences of
Hooper's supporters have been
had.
Mr.. Spicer was preparing to
have warrants issued for these
parties when the detective mys-
teriously disappeared and has
never been here or heard of
since he wrote Mr.. Spicer want
ing more money Ito come back
and testify while Mr.. Spicer had
already paid him 500 and other
good men here had paid as much.
This incident speaks for itself.
AS to the incident to which the
Banner made mention, as to the
arrest Of the detectives who
were here and reported some ne
gro bootleggers, and as to young
Ezell, | desire to say this: The
two detectives who were arr ested
as per the Banners statement
came to Paris, one of them was
blind drunk when he got here,
went to the Maxwell Hotel and
went to bed and remained there
drunk two days and nights, SO
Mr.. Maxwell, the proprietor,
said. They adopted the ruse of
selecting some negro and giving
him money to buy whiskey for
them and then arrested the ne
gro, this they did with young
Ezell, who was not then II years
old, and after getting the liquor
gave him a drink of it and made
him drunk.
Upon the trial of these negroes
who they had inveighled into
procuring the liquor for them,
they each sat with a big pistol
prominently displayed, tn e y
were also guilty of prowling over
the town with their pistols prom
inentlg displayed, to the disgust
and terror of our good citizens.
This coming to my knowledge
and seeing the pistols myself on
the trial before the magistrate, |

Some small idea of the great loss this will be to Fordham may be gleaned from the fact that he turned down a fattering offer from the Federal league in order that he might cap tain his college throughout the pres- ent season.
 Walsh, who is also a brilliant basket ball player, has played regu- larly with the Fordham quintet for the past two years and in one of the final games of the present season he was injured in a brisk scrimmage. In going after the ball one of the fingers on his left hand came into violent

 Although "Bills' finger shows con- stant improvement now it is still very tender and he is unable to use it in any way and as for his playing ball doctors tell him that it is impossible. Accordingly he has been forced to sit idly by, even though he is the cap tain, and watch his men from the bench. He is, however, serving his college by coaching the team and giving the players the benefit of his superior knowledge of the finer points of the national pastirne.

 One hundred and twenty mine of the fish were shipped from Deep River. It is estimated that about 300 were taken below Middletown, and a few above. The fish run from four and one-half to seven pounds, and are said to be in good condition.
