RICE SAYS MCCLELLAN
HARBINGER OF PEACE
Attorney Says He Alone Can Bring
Real Unity in Party.
EUGENE F. McsPEDDEN

| Dyersburg, Tenn, Oct. 23.-All
Dyersburg and most of Dyer County
Joined this afternoon in giving Ken
meth d. Mcclellan a magnificent ova-
ton. The Congressman spoke in the
Dyer courtroom to an audience OF
$50, and hundreds were turned away
because no standing room was avail
able.
Mr.. Mcclellan was given an elo-
quent introduction by Hon Ernest
Rice, an ex-speaker of the State Sen
ate. Mr.. Rice was formerly well
known in Tennessee politics, but his
law practice has kept him out of
politics, until he decided to re-enter
recently in order "to bring peace and
tranquility to the Democratic party
in Tennessee by the election of Mr..
Mcclellan" Mr.. Rice introduced Mr..
McKellar as the harbinger of peace
and as the man who was not born
with silver spoon in his mouth.
Mr.. Rice also said that Mr.. McKellar
would not give the people of Tennes-
see just lip service as their Senator,
but that he would be working for
their interests all the time.
Perhaps the brightest point in the
successful day was
the speech of Miss Stella Walker in
him with a bouquet at
the conclusion of the speech. She
said: II predict that in your race
for the Senate you will not be driven
on Lea shore, nor sunk by dere-
lict ship loaded with spoiled Ham,
Mr.. McKellar did not deviate from |
his campaign speech in any impor-
tant details. He received his great
est applause when he gave his com
parison of Patterson and the prodigal
son of the Scriptures He said the
prodigal son came back to act as a
servant and with contrite heart but
hat Patterson came back crying,
Democrats, I'm back; bring on that
,alf.''

it is not only relaxation, but q
soothing stimulation, to consider Mr.
McKellar's political record and char
acter after having somewhat an
alyzed those of the above named
gentlemen. Mr. Mcclellan, so far as
I can find out, has good record
behind him, especially as repre-
sentative in Congress, and that fact
is very reassuring to us that he
would make good in the Senate il
he should be elected.
About the only fear that / have
for Mr.. McKellar's success in this
race is that too many of his friends
will fail to support him at the pri-
mary. fearing that he might be de-
feated and that they thereby would
have to support one of the other un-
desirables at the final election. But
let us, remember, and not forget, that
the crucial time with Mr.. McKellar's
will be at the primary and
that then is the supreme time for us
TO show our allegiance to him and
10 exert ourselves to secure his cleo
ion. In failing to support him, we
should in reality be supporting his
opponents. And if finally we should
nave to support either Mr.. Patterson
,r Mr.. Lea, we shoulds do so, not
rom choice, but from an honorable
ense of duty to our own integrity.

will get the nomination by a good

CHARGED WITH CONSPIRING
TO COMMIT MURDER
W. E. Hay Placed ON Trial in Dyers-
burg-Jury is Completed.

Dyersburg, Tenn, Oct. 25.-The
trial of w. E. Hay, charged with con-
spiracy to take the life of another,
began in the Circuit Court here to-
day. A legal battle is on, as both
the State and the defense are repre-
sented by an array of legal talent.
Representing the State are Attorney
General Tom Morris, w. Campbell,
r. A. Ashley, r. D. Chambers, and
for the defense, Col. Poston, of Ala
mo, w. S. Draper and r. c. Cochran,
of Dyersburg. The jury was COM
pleted this afternoon. The first and
only witness on the stand to-day was
Allie Yearwood, who was originally
charged with Hay in the conspiracy.
He has agreed to appear as a witness
for the State. In his testimony to-
day, he stated that he had been ap-
preached several times by Hay Hay
stated, so witness said, that he had
insurance policies on two of his en-
Trull and George Craw-
ford-and stated that Hay had offer
ed him $4,000 to assist in getting
these men out of the way. Witness
Is driver of jitney, and his part
in the transaction was to get the
parties to Reelfoot Lake. At this
stage of the testimony court adjourn
I'd till $3.50 Tuesday.
At the time the incidents occur
'ed W. 3. Hay was in the furniture
business. Last week his stock was
'oid out by the United States bank
'uptcy court. He came here from
less than year ago. In
constant attendance with the de-
endant at the bar are his wife and
.ged father. :

so they can remain on the road in
stead Of being sent back to the mine
or the prison walls"
While the summer rains interferet
with the work to some extent, ye
the fifty-five convicts have graded
three miles and surfaced two miles
of road in less than three months
besides quarrying and crushing the
rock for the roads. Two miles were
built complete in forty-six days and
cost the county approximately $3.50
"a mile.
County officials claim they can by
the use of convicts not only build
better roads, but at much less cost,
since the labor costs them but 81 a
day.
The State Board of Control, of
which John S. Denton is chairman,
has been keeping close watch on
this work in order to determine
whether the board can afford to let
the men out at this price. While
they have made no money on the
project, they claim they have broken
even and that the profit the depart
ment formerly got off the men is
overbalanced by the benefit the con-
victs are to the State in general in
helping get good roads.
TO DERIVE NO PROFIT.
1T was not our expectation to de-
rive profit from the labor of these
men," said Mr.. Denton, "but to help
the various counties in the State to
get better roads and at the same
time provide more healthy occupa-
ton for these unfortunates. We find
their healh is much better while out
d
great deal more in the way of road
building. The men are pleased with
the change, as evidenced by the fact
that there are fewer infractions of

want to go back to the prison. / be-
lieve we will be able to greatly bene-
fit the counties and at the same time
solve the vexing problem of more
treatment of the States un-
'ortunates 1t will enable us to take
many of the men out of the mines
Ind the factories at the main pris-
m"
The board cannot let out less than
fifty to any one county, and can let
ut only a certain per cent of the
and it is expected that be-
ore next spring the full quota will
e called for. The board has ad-
ressed letter to officials of the
arious counties, calling their atten-
ion to this law, and it is probable
hat many will take advantage of
he plan at the January term of
Ounty courts.
In addition to the force in Will
amson County, the board is using
ONE of the men at the mines in
elping build a railroad to the State
lines. Only those not needed in the
lines are being used in this work.

Jas shot by store robber is the
opinion of Albany residents in con-
nection with the injury sustained by
Ludwig Holman, clerk in the Schae-
fer store at Albany.
According to the story told by the
young man and the positions that he
claimed he was in it would appear
that it would be an impossibility for
the shot to have been fired from an
other part of the room. 1t is also
claimed that several different stories
have been told.
"There is no doubt but that the
store has been entered at different
times" said an Albany resident today
"and that the youth was watching for
the man, but it is hardly to be believ-
ed that he was shot by an intruder. 1t
is more likely that the gun he carried
was accidentally discharged

The child in the country is entitled to

years in such we'll known plays as

Parcels Improperly Wrapped Are
Barred, Even if Sender Will Take
n.. .... All the Risk.

Parcels improperly wrapped cannot
be sent through the mails because the
sender says he will take the risk, ac-
cording to orders received at the local
postoffice from the second assistant
postmaster general. Many such par
GELS are brought to the postoffice and
when informed that the wrappings
are not secure the sender wishes to
let it 60 anyway. The new order puts
a stop to this, however, as it forbids
the postmaster or clerks from accept
ing such matter. Following is the or
der:
"Postmasters are sometimes led to
accept for mailing parcels improperly
packed or wrapped for safe transmits
sion upon the assertion of sender that
he is willing to take the risk of dam
age or loss. This should not be done.
No parcel should be admitted to the
mails unless it conforms to the provi-
sions of the postal laws and regula-
lions and is in the opinion of the post
master or receiving clerk, so well
packed and wrapped as to insure its
reaching its destination with ordinary
handling in good condition"

Swine Breeders Association Reports
Success of Work of Government
Veterinarians.

The Board of Directors of the Rem
vile County Swine Breeders Asso-
citation met recently-one director
from each of the 27 townships-met
and reported a membership of 700
farmers. President Leindecker gave
the following summary of the work
in Renville county of the U. S. gov
eminent veterinarians.
Over 400 herds were treated from
May to November the past year. The
loss from hog cholera in 1913 amount
ed to 43,403 head. About 5000 hogs
died of cholera after the government
men commenced work and before
November 1, 1914. Of this number,
considerably more than half were too
sick to treat when the Government
men were called and reached them.
Almost 1000 hogs died of cholera in
the county before May 8, 1914, on
which date the government men COM
menced work.
There is much satisfaction in COM
pairing the loss of 5000 in 1914 with
the loss of over $4,000 in 1918.

THE BRAINERD GAME
Local Basket Ball Efiminators Take
Northern Bunch into Camp by
Comfortable Margin.

Brainerd high school went down to
defeat last Friday before the Sank
Centre Eliminators in what was, from
any point of view, the worst game of
the year. This was largely due to
the lamentable lack of class displayed
by the home team. They certainly
are a bunch of in-and-outers. After
a game like that against St. Cloud,
which would make any high school
team in the state sit up and take no
tice, they played against Brainerd in
a way that would make a stranger
wonder whether they had ever had
any coaching. Hopkins was the only
man who played up to form, but Ly-
man should be excused as he went the
whole distance although sick at the
start. There is cause for rejoicing
that the boys had their off night this
week instead of tomorrow when they
line up against what will by all signs
be the strongest of the season-Little
Falls. These off nights don't happen
twice in succession, and tomorrow ev-
ening ought to see the team going in
top form.
The Brainerd boys played a clean,
fast game, but couldn't quite produce
