FINE RAIN
FALLS SUNDAY

A fine rain fell here Sunday, the
first of much account since back in
April, and the crops are feeling much
better. A heavy wind accompanied
BY severe lightning, did a few stunts.
The smoke stack to the dutch oven at
the Handle Works fof the consumption
of saw dust, was blown down. and the
guy wires to another smoke stack
snapped, allowing it to lean over. A
crew of men got busy after the storm
and restored il, to its equilibrium.
The fine big beech at the bridge over
spring branch was blown onto it. and
an auto party from Chattanooga COM
ing from Whitwell, had to wait until
axes were got and the tree cleared
away. Several barns we're blown
down or partially wrecked, one on
the Turner farm near Tolly Bnrnett's
being turned over, and the end Of an
other on the same farm being blown
in. Rail fences were scattered at va
rious points, and on Marion Kligore's
farm between here and Victoria he
and his boys had to put in the after
noon rebuilding fence. On the DIR.
shelton farm three miles east Of here,
there was severe windstorm but no
rain, and large numbers of fine shade
trees were laid prostrate. DR.. Shel.
toms corn, it is said, was torn almost
to ribbons. Corn in this section, was
laid PROSTATE, but that is nothing to
being burned mp, as was being done.
Lightning struck several trees in the
immediate vicinity Of houses in this
town and was pretty sharp. A large
quantity Of nubbins were spoiled BY
the rain, and sweet potatoes and gar
den truck will now take a start.
Quite a number of gardeLers will
now replant their gardens. as there is
still time to raise vegetables before
frost, especially bush beans, cucum-
bers and hickory king or sweet corn.

4. The republican party first gave
free schools for poor children.
5. The republican party started
their poor private soldiers into the
war at $t3 a month, and it has in
creased them, believe, to $16, while
our Southern democrats put "Uncle
Tom" and myself and all other priv
ates to fighting for them at only $tt a
month and held us down to it, when
it took from $1,000 to $500 of that
bald faced Confederate money to buy
81 of gold. They held us to only that
$t1 month, "Uncle Tom," when it
took $40 of it to buy one ten cent
plug Of tobacco.
s. Abe Lincoln and the republican
party said: sit is wrong for any man
to eat his bread by the sweat of anoth-
er mans brow" hence they freed four
millions of laboring slaves, which
proved. as they said it would, a great
blessing to poor laboring white men,
and we know it did. for it soon raised
wages in the south from 80 cents to 81
day.
70. After Cleveland's democratic
policies reduced wages at least one
half and so reduced work as that lab
orers could not get more than 2 to 3
days work week, McKinley's repub-
lican policies SO revived business of
all kinds as to give laborers full 6
days work every week and doubled
and threbled their wages, common la
borers getting from one. dollar and if
ty cents day in democratic states to
81 in republican states.
Z. While McKinley's republican
policies we're thus giving good wages
to all laborers, all other nations were
working their laborers at about 10
cents q. day of our money, except
England, and her wages were only
about half what our republican wages
in America were. The American re-
publican wages have been the best of
any nations or palty's in all the
world, in any age of the world, the
Socialists not excepted, and everybody
can see that the Republican party is
the best friend to the poor masses they
ever had, except the devil and his peo-
ple..
So if "Upcle Tom" can't see that
republicans are poor mems friends. it
is only because he is one of the DEVILS
folks.
N. W. BLALOCK,
Dunlap, Tenn, July IA. 1914.
P. s. "Uncle Tom," | reckon has
a small ''scrimption" of human brains,
but he surely has unintentionally, and
even unwittiugly, let the devil so ''be-
fuddle'' them with his so-called $50
cialism, as that would as soon have
those usually found in last years
bird s nest. He first advocates music
and aazeiGg: then cuts instrumental
music out of worship, and at last cuts
all music out, which shows me that
his senses are awful, are as bad as
snolly goster's. N. W. B.

Big STORM
LASHES
THE VALLEY

The storm last night was a recrd,
breaker. Torrents of water fell, ,ana.
lands are badly washed. Owing t'thy
telephone wiIes being down no reort
of outside damage can be got. The
storm seemed to have ranged fronthe
south, and was torrentlal in fcce.
Fortunately for this place it was not
accompanied by high wind, or the
damage would have been excessive.
There is no doubt but that there s
"season" in the ground now, an if
there are any crops left they ougb to
grow.

"UNCLE TOM" SALIvATED.
Editor News:

N6Wb.
As Representative" slrea dy hal
"Uncle Tom so salivated that he il
foaming his spittle filth at both "Rep.
resentative" and myself in one arti-
Gle, please permit me to so purge all
that foaming, frothy spittle filth out
of "Uncle Tom" as to stop it, for if
it all stays in him it surely will para
lize him. as it would kill a donkey.
To me "Uncle Tom." in his reply
to Representative, says:
well, Mr.. Blalock, you are no more
lover of music than l am, but there
are times and places it does not fit and
one is the solemn worship of the
church. Go ahead with your Greek
and play the part of an egotist, but l
still remain an objector just the same"
to which l reply as follows:
I. Uncle Tom" started out oppos :
ing only instrumental music, but in
this he opposes Emusic" in church
worship. which cuts out singing, too.
for Emusic is vocal or instrumental, ;"
so says Webster, yet "Uncle Tom
cuts all music out Of his church, there
fore singing is cut out, also.
2. 'Uncle Tom" here has. "wor-
ship of the church." while l have
worship Of God in the church" but
in his worship of the church there is
no worship of God in it.
8. To quote Greek, or refer to
Greek. does not constitute one an ego
tist, as "Uncle Tom," slobberingly
imsgines; for Webster says: "Egotist,
one who repeats the word very often
in conversation or writing; one who
speaks much of himself. or magnifies
his own achievements; one who makes
himself the hero of every tale," just
exactly what Tom Carrick does in ev-
cry article ever read of his. In this
very article, If did not miscount, he
uses the pronoun "I' 80 times while
can count bat "I's" in my article.
to which he replied, and not one time
was it used to praise me, as "Uncle
TOMS were to boost him, and so we
find "Uncle Tom" is about 8 times
more of an egotist than is Blalock.
Surely "Uncle Tom has no more
brains than a last years birds nest,
and has no other kind than those left
there by the young birds, else he
would not write as he does.
As to "Uncle TOMS false charges
against Representatives republi-
can party, and his question: "What
has your party ever done to help the
massesY" I answer:
1. 1t was representatives of that
party who first reduced letter postage
from 25c on down to 3 cents, and kept
it at that for their soldiers all thru
the war of the Rebellion, and since re-
duced it to 9 cents, while our South
ern democrats charged us Southern
soldiers cents for sending a letter
home while we were fighting for them.
o 1t was republican who first in
troduced a bill to give poor laboring
men "Free Homesteads, 1860 acres
of government lands, charging them
only what it cost to survey and sell
them.
8. Before the war, republican states
north paid their farm laborers 81
day, or $95 month, while our south
ern democratic states paid theirs only
SOC day, or $40 month, and in Ala
bama one year of that time, corn was
S. bushel and flour was $50 barrel,
so says school history Of Alabama,
as written by an Alabamian.

Gov. Glynn Refuses to Liberate ToI-
 man, the Money Lender.

Albany, N Y., Jan. 12.-Gov. Glynn today refused to pardon D. H. Tol- man, the convicted New York money lender, when District Attorney Whit man refused to say he favored an ab- solute pardon. The governor requires the endorsement of the trial judge and the prosecutor in every case where he exercises clemency.
 The governor said the amount of indebtedness which would be cancel ed by the notes Holman promised to destroy. if released and the number of people who would be benefited would be based on guess work.
 The acceptance of such a propo- sition would open the way for men of means to obtain parodns that is not open to poor men," the governor said. q know of no reason why a millionaire criminal should be treated any differently than pauper crimi- nal. l don't feel justified in inaugu- rating a precedent of this kind"

"rhe Girl of My Dreams"

The Shreveport Times of Saturday had the following to say of The Girl of My Dreams" which appears here at the Auditorium Theatre to- night:
 A good sized house heard "The Girl fo My Dreams" sang at the Grand last night, ana that the two act musical fantasy caught on' was evident from the applause which was generous and spontaneous during the run of the opera
 The chief entertainers are Messrs. Neil Burns, Frank Melvin, Roy Pur- viance, Frances Gaillard and Irwin Brooks, with MT. Turviance as the magnet around which all the fun re- wolves.
 Among the female members of the cast. those who take prominence are the Misses Cecil Renard, Laura Campbell, Eda Von Luke and Coun- tess Olga Von Hatzfeldt.
 The last named lady may not be a real countess, but she is real en- | ted by her last night proved the hit of the evening. Especially was this true of her rendition of the very catchy and musical "Dr. Tinkle Tin ker," in which she was aided by sev- eral different choruses.
 Edna Von Luke was easily the next best entertainer among the skirt" portion of the cast. Her song, The Letters You Shouldn't Have Sent" brought her into favor with the au- ditors early in act No. 1, and after that her appearance of the stage was forerunner of something good.
 The Girl of My Dreams" by MT. Purviance and the countess, was eS- pecially enjoyable.
 The production is altogether tune ful and fascinating and will not fail to come up to every standard requir- ed by those who enjoy amusement of this order.

AT THE PRINCESS.

With five big acts direct from the eastern circuits, the Princess pre- sents for the fore part of the week bill Of supreme quality. It is a five act bill, everyone good some the best that have been seen this season.
 The Parisian Trio, street singers and musicians, bring with them a breath of Parisian bohemianism, with two richly blended voices and an ar list on the concertina. Dressed in the picturesque garb of the foreign street singer, this trio offers some vo- cal music that has not been surpass- ed for season past The concertina player is a revelation, as he plays grand opera and ragtime with equal skill and attractive coloring. It is long time past.
 The Melnotte Twns, two clever and pretty girls, as like as two peas in a pod, have a delightfully."- refreshing act of singing, dancing and character work. Their dancing is especially good, while their vocal numbers and their quick and marvellous changes of gowns, make it one of the most at tractive acts of weeks past.
 The Five Martells, the original quin- tette of the bicycle, are here for the three days, and they bring with them one of the biggest sensations in their line. They ride all manner of wheels in singles, doubles, trios and pyra- mids, and they do some balancing that would look big if accomplished on a solid floor It is one of the cleVerest and most sensational wheel acts ever seen in the city.
 Lloyd and Whitehouse, in bits of travesty, offer a variety act. Opening with some splendid comedy and pat ter they diverge to song and piano and end up with some splendid oper- attic music, in which there is dash of comedy and burlesque.
 Lockhart and Leddy, comedy aero bats, open the show in good style, with a mighty big act. This pair per forms some remarkable feats, some astounding knockabout comedy work, and some of the best tumbling of many days past.
 It has been long time since bill of such quality has visited the Prin- cess, and it is scheduled for big run.

MACON, GA. CHILD
Made Strong and Well by VinoI

@AoNS oeASiiS diAu VCll Dy NlIlOl.
 When we tell you that Vinol is the best remedy in our whole stock for making weak, puny, ailing children strong, robust and rosy we are only telling you what has been proved by hundreds of mothers.
 J. l.. Tickling, Macon, Ga, says: My child was very thin and delicate, no appetite, nervous, and did not sleep we'll. Doctors did not help her. Vinol was recommended and the change after a fair trial was wonder full. She sleeps soundly all night, has splendid appetite and has gained in weight. I wish every mother knew what vinol will do for delicate chill dren."
 What Vinol did for this little girl 1t will do for every weak and ailing child because sickly children need the strengthening cod liver clements and the tonic iron that Vinol con- tains-that is why vinol builds them up quickly and gives them a fine, healthy color. It is pleasant to take and we guarantee that the results will satisfy you-money back If they do not.

LOSES HOLD SEVEN
 STORIES FROM GROUND
HORRIBLE DEATH INVERTED BY A MOST MIRACULOUS EFFORT
 OF FELLOW WORKMAN.

How would you like to be hanging seven stories from the ground, realize that your strength was fast failing, then, when the last ounce of strength had left your aching arms, your hold slipped and you started downward to horrible death, only to have man you believed was your enemy seize you, grab you with a hold as firm as the death you were going to, hold you fast and, finally, by a miraculous cf- fort, get you to place of safety?
 Such an experience befell Barry O'Moore, and when it happened the camera man of the Edison Company, who, of course, was near at hand, took the picture and recorded the greatest thrill and the most daring feat ever attempted for motion photography. It is the big sensation in great noise today at the New Central Theatre. To miss this is to overlook the most risky thing man ever did in order to get good film, You will say Moore was a fool and should have been kill ed, but come for the thrill, just to prove it can be done.
 Vitagraph has three-reel feature on, "The Street Singer" in which pretty Lillian Walker, Waffle Van, William Shea and Vincent Sternroyd have excellent parts, the fair Lillian, of course, being in the lead. This is a three-reel feature. Then. too, there are two pictures from the Bio graph people, and as you were thrill ed by the Edison feature, which, it should be stated, is "The Great Steel Beam, so, too, you will be delighted with the Biograph farces.

T|LLMAN CASE IN
 SUPREME COURT

Little Rock, March 17.-The case of Arthur Tillman, young white man of Yell county, convicted of murder ing his sweetheart, Amanda Stephens, and throwing her body into an aban- doned we'll, was argued orally and submitted in supreme court Monday. Judge Robert J. White of Paris, and Gen. w. E. Atkinson of Clarksville, former attorney general, presented the case in behalf of the defense, while the state was represented by Assistant Attorney General John P. Streepey and A. s. Hays of Russell vile.
 The theory of the defense is that Tillman is innocent of the crime, and that it was committed by another man. Counsel for the defense offered to introduce testimony showing that another man would have had motive as great as that which the state has attempted to fasten upon Tillman, for the commission of the crime, but the court ruled it out.
