LIFE CRUSHED OUT
BY FALLING TREE,

Alfred jackson. the twenty-five
year-old son Of Mr.. Riley Jackson,
the saw-mill man Of Sharon, was
killed Monday afternoon in the
river bottom south Of Sharon by
falling tree, which had been
cut, and under which he was
caught, breaking his leg in sew
eral places and iniuring his back.
With young Jackson when the
terrible accident occurred were his
father and Mr.. Eli Howington
and the latter's son. The tree
did not fall upon the young man
and remain on him, bouncing off
and leaving the injured and
PROSTATE man upon the ground.
He was rushed to town and to
Dr. Shannon's Office, where he
died within a short time. Physi-
clans were pIeparing-to amputate
the broken leg, but it was found
this would be useless, as Jackson
began sinking rapidly.
The injured man remained
conscious practically till the last,
though in great pain. He was a
model young man-sober, moral
and industrious, and quite popu-
lar with both old and young, and
his tragic death casts another
gloom over the quiet little city
of Sharon, which it appears, has
had her full measure Of sad
accidents to her youths. The
body was inferred Tuesday alter
noon at the Sharon cemetery in
the presence Of q large concourse
Of sOrrowing relatives and sympas
thising friends.
This is the second boy in the
jackson family to meet tragic
death. Some four years ago an
ather son, while out bunting, was
Accidently shot by bis companion,
and this sad ending Of another Of
The boys, following so closely up
on the heels Of the death Of the
former, makes the hearts Of the
parents doubly grieved. Their
host Of friends deeply sympathize
with them in their double sorrow,

HON. G. n. BERRY
SPEAK FOR, LEA

Hon. Geo. N. Berry, chairman
Of the Tennessee pressman's
union, spoke here Monday at the
courthouse in Eehalf Of the candi-
dacg Of Senator Luke Lea, being
lgreeted bya crowded courtroom
and was given rapt attention
throughout his able presentation
OF his reasons for supporting
Senator Lea. y
Mr.. Berry was met at the depot
by a reception committee headed
by Hon. King Webb, chairman Of
the local Lea organization; Mayor
Suddath, Cashier W. T. Killebrew,
Col. E. E. Tansil, Attorney Will
Rankin, John M. Gardner and
other prominent democrats Of the
county. He was escorted to the
Bowers hotel for lunch. Here he
received a number Of callers. Mr..
Berry enjoys the distinction Of
having sought the democratic
nomination for governor several
years ago. He is an able speaker
and an excellent gentleman.
Col. E. E, Tansil presided over
the meeting, while the speaker
was introduced by Mayor Suddath.
Mr.. Berry talked for something
like an hour and thirty minutes.
He stated his reasons for support
ing Lea, saying he had been
to to stamp the state for
both Mcclellan and Patterson; he
handled LEAFS opponents without
the gloves, ridiculing the idea OF
Patterson being a pious man. He
said Mcclellan is not what lie
claims to be as to the consumption
Of Intoxicating liquors; that be

tails and that he knows Mcclellan |

revelation TO our people who had
oeen lead to believe that Mr.. Nc
kellar was a clean man, hardly
lnowing the taste of intoxicants.
The speaker was literally APP
,lauded.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
DEFEATED IN EAST.

| New York, Massachusetts, and
Pennsylvania defeated the PROPOSE
ton Of granting suffrage to women
by overwhelming msiorities in
Tuesdays election.
The indicated msiorities against
suffrage at an early hour this
morning follow:
Massachusetts,, 100000 (returns
practically completely.
New York, 205,568 (about two
thirds of the state reported).
Pennsylvania, 10000 (about
one.ffth state reported).
This is the indicated result of
the first big popular vote on the
suffrage question in the eastern
states.
New Jersey, the only other cas-.
tern state that has voted on the
question, defeated the proposition
at a special election on October 10
by majority Of $4,000.

time; four years - New York, five
in Pennsylvania and New Jersey
and two in Massachusetts.
The antisuffrage voting appears
to have been the strongest in Pen
nsylvania, where the ratio is
roughly estimated as high as 3 to
| against suffage. Massachusetts
appears to have been next with a
ratio Of about 2 to l, while New
York state, as has been expected
from the fact that the campaign
would be waged so strongly there,
had the closet ratio Of about A to 3.
In detail the latest figures at 2
o'clock this morning from the
three states were:
New York: Returns from 1909

PRICE OF DRUGS
SOARING SKYWARD.

In conversation with a loca'
druggist Wednesday morning, the
Enterprise man learned something
OF the great increase during the
past six or eight weeks OF manV
drugs, such as Quinine, potash,
glycerine, santgnine, etc. This
increase in the price Of these drugs
is caused by the European war.
Many ingredients entering into the
manufacture Of these drugs are
imported from the war zone, hence
the supply in the United States is
very limited.
On some drugs, glycerine for
instance, the supply is very limited,
and wholesalers even limit the
amount sold to retail druggists.
Glycerine is used extensively in
the manufacture Of high explosives
used by the combatants and the
amount on hand is being rapidly
taken.
Six weeks ago local druggists
were able to purchase 0linine at so
cents the ounce. 1t now costs
them ISL .95 to $3.50 per ounce. 1t
is now next to impossible to buy
potash which is wholesaling at
SO 27 per pound, whereas some
weeks ago the price was only 81 .25.
There has been a great increase in
tie price Of Santynine, which
formerly sold at 81 cents per
ounce, but now the retailer pays
S8 65 for it. Iodide Of potash has
from $3.50 to 1927 per
pound, Glycerine is selling at SOL
cents, the former price being 20I
cents the pound.
All drugs containing iodide and
potash have increased 300 per cent
within very recent weeks. and
ocal druggists inform the Enter
prise the end Of higher prices is
lot yet in sight.
Mr.. Jas. T. Edwards informs
