As some time has elapsed and many
] changes have come and gone, and the
I future looks dark and gloomy to me,
as we pass into the year, 1915, which
4 in the beginning is marked with the
/ greatest destruction of property and
erican independence and the world at
large The way things look to me
with all these foreign wars on hand,
the question arises to us, is our coun-
try able to feed and supply the old
countries with food and raiment, and
| then have enough left to protect the
/ half fed. half clothed, half educated
| that are now suffering in our own
country The truth of the thing is
wa haven't enough in this part Of the
| country to feed and clothe our own
| people under this democratic panic to
save them from suffering. which in a
number of families is occurring now
| This fact is undIsputable / heard a
darn fool hot headed democrat argu-
ing here on the streets that inside Of
three weeks prosperity would come
knocking at every mans door in this
part of the country and labor agents
would be standing on every street cor
ner, crying for men to work, and the
demand would be so great it would be
an impossibility to supply the de-
mand. All republicans and sensible
democrats that believe such a rotten
argument and doctrine as that argued
in a public audience, for goodness
sake stand up and say. amen" and
those that doo't believe this argu-
ment, just keep your seats and re-
main in silence, for tell Won the day
is fast approaching in this country,
under this present democratic admin
istration, with low tariff and free
trade system, until it won't be but a
few more fieeting months until the
bottom will be knocked out of every
American enterprise under the sun.
When you laugh at this paragraph,
nothing but fools will laugh with
you, for no hungry and destitute la
boring man, born of an American
mother will laugh with yon. A crank
asked me the other day why Tennes-
see went democratic and why the ma
tion went republican. told him the
reason was because there we're more
democrats in Tennessee than republic
cans was why she went democratic,
and on the other hand l said the reas-
on the nation had gone so many times
republican was because there were
more republicans in this country than
democrats and this is why it is easy to
see why Tennessee goes democratic
and the nation goes republican.
Watch the landslide in 1915, for lead
ing democrats here say this present
administration is total failure.

Well, the Wilson and Dykes contest
ed on somewhat personal character,
and from what l sketch from the
proof on file, the Tennessee Legislators
will only wink one eye at the proce-
dure and pass the whole darned batch
out of existence. Watch the thing and
see if what say don't como to pass,
and ] j. Dykes will take his seat.
We have quite number of influential
and leading citizens who have just
returned from Nashville where they
have been attending the present ses-
siou of the legislature, looking into
seating their friend. Dykes or Wilson.
Our people remind me very much of a
dog fight on the streets. They either

Fl Clay and b. M. White, sons of
W. Fl White, have gone to Arkansas
to reside and to farm. AS to the fu-
ture of the farming industry in any
state or territory it is hard to prophe-
sy and tell the future. A young man
will have big job to make success,
on account of the high cost of living.
