JOHN B. HUNT ISSUES
CARD TO THE VOTERS

To the voters of Henry county:
Since announcing my candi-
dacy for Trustee, | have endeav-
ored to see every voter in person
and present my claims, but
owing to the short time remain
ing before the primary, which is
to be held October 23rd, and the
probable bad weather it will be
impossible for me to see every
voter as much as I would like to.
do so. This being true, | am
taking this method of saying to
any that | may fail to see in
person that / will appreciate the
support of every voter in the
primary and if elected that l
will endeavorto make the county
a good official.
1t is not necessary for me to
say to those who know me that
| am and have been for forty
five years a straight Democrat,
but at the same time | have
never held anything against
those who have differed with
me and will appreciate the sup
port of all.
All my life | have been liberal
and charitable and have nev,r
turned down a paper of charity,
| have always given lib rally to
the assistance of the lnvaiids,
the poor and the helpless. In
my whole life | have never had
law suit or a difficulty with aLy
man. | have never before asked
the people of my county for any
office, and if they see fit to eject
me their Trustee | will ever be
grateful to them.
Yours truly,
adv JOHN h. HUNT.

M'KELLAR SPEAKS To
GOOD CROWD HERE
Memphis Congressman and Can
didate for Senator In
Henry County.

Congressman Kenneth y. Nc
KeIlar, of Memphis, candidate
for the Democratic nomination
for United States Senator, spoke
in the circuit court room at Paris
Tuesday afternoon to a crowd
estimated at from 400 to 450
people, including number Of
ladies and Confederate soldiers.
He was introduced by Rev. P.
P. Pullen and delivered his usual
campaign speech, being fire.
quently interrupted by applause.
In addition to speaking here,
he spoke to about $50 people
at Cottage Grove Tuesday
night, being introduced by DR..
A. P. McRee, and spoke also to
the employees of the L. & N.
shops here at the noon hour.
En- route to Cottage Grove, Mr..
McKellar and party stopped at
Como, where the congressman
spoke to about 25 people.

FIFTY PER CENT Of
COTTON CROP PICKED

Fifty per cent of the 1916 cot
ton crop has been picked and
the remainder will have been
ginned, reports indicate, not
later than the first of Novem-
ber.
The yield will probably aver
age between 60 and 70 per cent
of a normal crop. In most cases
it opened prematurely and there
are slim chances for a late crop,
due to the ravages of the boil
weevil in the far southern states,
and doubly 80 in Texas because
of the gulf storm.
The weevil has appeared in
nearly 30 Georgia counties and
has done much harm. In South
Carolina boil rot has been no.
ticed, and this with the limited
supply of fertilizer used, has
caused deterioration of about 20
or 25 per cent of the normal
yield. North Carolina has been
similarly affected.
The market price during the
past week has averaged from 10
to 11-1-2 cents. Farmers on a
small scale and those in debt put
their cotton in the hands of the
buyers. The large farmer, on
the other hand, is holding on to
his staple, hoping to get at least
IL cents.
Dry weather and the swelter-
ing temperature has made pick
ing possible without delay and
labor is plentiful everywhere. If
good weather continues, the
fields will be naked by Nov. l.
The staple everywhere is good
and in splendid white condition.

WARMING FROM PURE
FOOD DEPARTMENT
Farm Products for Market Must
Not Be Adulterated, Under
Penalty Of Law.

Upon investigation, this de-
partment finds that it has been
a time-honored custom for people
in the country to place in con-
tainers, sorghum molasses and
honey as we'll as various farm
products, for the purpose of
placing on market. They seem
to be unaware that the State
laws specifically state that they
shall contain no salicylic acid as
a preservative; if Sodium Ben
zoate is used for this purpose, it
shall not be over Ito of IL and
so stated on the label.
Also that containers shall bear
a label, and if contents are
adulterated or colored in any
manner it must be so stated on
the label. The label at the same
time, must state the net weight
of contents. 1t has come to our
notice that the producers in the
rural community are selling

TIDAL WAVE FOR PATTERSON.

Friday October 9Th, Ex-Gov-
ernor M. R. Patterson, distin-
guished citizen, eminent states
man, master of oratory and fav-
orite son of Tennessee will ad-
dress the voters of Henry Coun-
ty in the interest of his candidacy
for the democratic nomination
for United States Senator from
Tennessee.
That favorable weather will
bring out an enormous crowd to
listen to the eloquence of this
celebrated speaker is evidenced
by the fact that a great tidal
wave of sentiment has arisen in
his favor and is flowing toward
him so steadily that he is twenty
times stronger to-day than
he ever was at any previous
period of his existence.
Those who have hitherto been
his bitterest enemies are showing
their faith in his honesty of
purpose by pledging their hearty
support to him IN the coming
primary.
1t is confidently predicted that
Patterson will get majority of
the votes cast in the first pri-
mary and thus do away with the
necessity of a run off.
The anti-Lea sentiment is
strong, the people have no faith
in his pledges; they know that
he has betrayed the democratic
party; they know that he in turn
betrayed the Independents and
republicans at whose hands he
received the United States SEN
atcrship, and they know that
when our own beloved citizen
and neighbor, Tom Rye has be-
come to him ''as a tinkling
cymbal and sounding brass" and
he shall say II no longer have
any pleasure in him." he will
"off with the old love and on
with the new," and the political
ties that know him now shall
know him no more forever. "
They know that Ben w. Hooper
is the only living man, who has
held him in line two straight
heats in succession, and they are
taking no chances by voting for
McKellar, but are going to cast
their ballots for Patterson and
thus put an end to the many
sided career of Luke Lea.
Come out Friday October 9Th.
and be one Of, those to hear the
greatest speech ever listened to
in Paris.or Henry County.

SEVENTH ANNUAL HENRY
COUNTY FAIR CLOSES
AFTER SUCCESSFUL MEET.
Attended By Large Crowds; Good
Races and Exhibits Were
Features.

Saturday closed the seventh
Henry County Fair, which was
one of the most successful of
previous years. On the first day
of the fair the attendance was
estimated at 10000, and on the
last day from 1000 to 5000.
The second day of the fair
opened with threatened rain and
for this reason the attendance
was greatly lessened from the
day before, the crowd on the
second day being about half as
many as the opening one. This
was Woodmen of the World day
and as this county is strong in
the craft a large number of
Woodmen were present but there
were fewer than had the day not
threatened rain. Another fea-
ture that cut down the attend
ance was the fact that the night
before was SO cold as to suggest
frost and hundreds of Henry
county farmers were cutting
their tobacco to prevent it being
damaged by even a light frost
which was expected in the bot
tom lands should a rain fall.
The exhibits this year, includ
ing agricultural, poultry, floral
hall and all departments were
above par and the attractive
booths arranged by the progress
i've merchants of Paris were a
center of attraction. The new
building which had just been
erected was used for the floral
hall display and merchants
booths.
The crowds, although large
throughout, we're orderly.
Much pleasure was derived
from the music furnished by the
"a w. |. Swain band. Some of the
outside attractions were the Fer
ris wheel, nerry-go-round, edu
Gated horse, cigarette fend, etc.
The races for the fair were ex-
cellent, most of which, however,
were pace and trot races.
On the last day of the fair the
concession men seemed bent on
taking in all the nickels, dimes,
etc., and to put on extra things
to draw the crowd.
In order to accommodate the
fair crowds the L. & N. railroad
ran trains at frequent intervals
to the fair grounds from Paris. a
distance of about two miles. The
L. & N. made arrangements with
the N. C. & St. L. railway by
which the former company start
ed its trains from the latter's
uptown depot which is but a
block from court square.

Avoid Kerosene In washing Tires.

Avoid Kerosene In Washing Tires.
The Ellsworth Foundry 4 Machine
Works, local selling agents for the
Michelin Tire Co., says that washing tires
and washing car are two dinereut propo-
sitions. Water alone should b used to
wash tires, and as little OF it % necessary.
After every run the tires should be wiped
clean with damp sponge or we'll wrung
cloth.
A common method when washing car
10 to mix kerosene with the water. This
may be advisable when washing the wood
work to remove mud and dust from the
varnish, but no kerosene should be per-
mitted to reach the tires, because kerosene
eats rubber. This fact can be readily
proved by immersing = small piece OF
rubber in kerosene and allow 1t. to soak.
The rubber will soon swell and lose its
elasticity.
The reason for this is apparent. Kero-
sene Is rich in fatty properties which re-
main after the evaporation of the gases.
