LONGER RURAL
ROUTES PLANNED
Tennessee Rural Mail Carriers
Will Get Increased Pay for
Increased Mileage.

Approximately 400 rural mail
carriers will secure substan-
tial increase in their pay in the
State of Tennessee on the first
of next month. Owing to Nash
Vile being the central station
for this state, all disbursements
will be passed through that
postofice.
The Postal Department has
decided to enlarge the rural
mileage wherever practical, At
first the distance travelled by
each rural mail carrier was 20
miles, then later it was increased
to 80 miles, and now it has been
declared that an average OF 5O
miles will be mapped out by the
corps of inspectors at Washing
tan, D. c., who are fast getting
this plan in shape.
The 50-mile mileage will be
given to such rural mail carriers
as have automobiles, and the
rate of pay for this extension
will be as follows: Rural route
men on 20-mile routes will re-
ceive ST. 52 annually; 30-mile
rural route men will receive
81, 200, and the 5O-mile route
carriers will receive 81, 800 pei
annum.
There has already been estab'
lished some 50-mile mail routes,
and the proposition is meeting
favor in some localities. How
ever, Uncle Sam will decrease
some expense in this new system,
for the reason that it will re
quire fewer carriers where the
extension has been put in opera
ton.

7. P. WOODS IN CHARGE
GREAT POULTRY SHOW
Over One Hundred Dollars In
Premiums on Fowls AT
Henry County Fair.

7. P. Woods was chosen as.
superintendent of the Poultry
Show of the 1915 Henry County
Fair at the last meeting Of the
directors of the Association.
Mr.. Woods is one of the leading
poultrymen of Henry county,
and it is predicted that under
his management the 1915 poultry
show will be the best ever known
in Henry or adjoining counties.
Mr.. Woods was in charge of
this department at one of the
Henry county Fairs several years
ago, and it is said that the poul-
try department was a greater
success that year than at any
Fair ever held in this county.
The Fair Association offers
more than $500 in cash premiums
on poultry, and in addition to
this Clogs & Nants will give SIS
for the best pen of Henry county
Barred Rocks and The Partisan
is offering 500 letterheads and
envelopes for the best pen OF
Rhode Island Reds. Considering
that there is no entrance fee
charged in this department these
premiums are exceedingly liber
al.
Henry county has always been
one of the leading Tennessee
counties in poultry raising, al
we'll as nearly everything else
and there is no doubt that man!
of our poultry raisers will take
advantage of the opportunit.
offered by the 1916 Henry Count.
Fair to show their birds.
Already quite number O.
breeders of Rhode Island Reds
Rocks, Leghorns, Wyandottes
Games and others have expressed
their intention of exhibiting a
the Fair, which is to be he'll
lSeptember 20, 80 and October
and 2. In addition to chicken
premiums are offered on turkeys
geese and ducks.
What is more interesting thai
a big poultry show? We can
think of anything that is NOR
attractive and we hope that ever
poultry raiser in Henry count,
will bring his birds to the Fair.

Cottage Grove Throws His
Hat Into The Ring,

In the proper column of this
issue of The Partisan will be
found the announcement of Mr..
John Hunt, of Cottage Grove, as
a candidate for Trustee, and OF
course his candidacy is subject
to the action of the Democratic
party.
'Uncle John" as he is known
to his friends enjoys the &C.
quaintance of every man, woman
and child in Henry county. He
has always been a Democrat, and
has been a faithful worker for
the party in every campaign
since he was old enough to cast
his vote. 1t will be remembered
that when the returns were in or
every election night the "Old
ELEVENTH. always showed a big
majority for the ticket.
While he has always taken
much interest in politics this is
the first time Mr.. Hunt has ever
asked for an Office. In addition
to being a Democrat all woo
and a MILE wide" he is noteC
throughout the county as a fox
hunter. His friends say that hi
has never let a fox get away
when he got on his trail and they
predict that he will catch thu
fox in the Trustees race?
One thing is certain, "Uncl'
Josh" Hunt is as clever a mar
as there is in Henry county AM
liz he is elected Trustee he vii
make as good official as TIN
county ever had.

Many Teachers Fail.

Of the one hundred teachers
who took the examination here a
few weeks ago only fifty were
successful in passing, but this
number is above the average
according to reports from other
parts of the state. The exami-
nations were much more difficult
than heretofore, and this is ad-
vanced as the reason for so many
failures.
Twenty-Five colored people also
took the examination here, all of
whom failed to pass.

 l. The steel arrows, les fleches. G. inches long, grooved to insure straight downward flight, about an ounce in weight and carried in a box which launches 1000 at a time.
 2 The quiok-firing air gun. This is carried in many of the French mono planes. Two have been mounted on bipanes in order to command the whole field of flight
 g. The shell pistol, reserved for ac- tion against. Zeppelins. A lucky shot from one of these would put Zeppelin out of action.

There's a Difference

Here is something for the chiefs of the liquor in
terests to think about. We quote from Judge Ander-
sons charge to the jury in the damage suit
brought by Copperfeld saloonkeeper against former
Governor Oswald West and just tried in the circuit
court at Baker, Oregon:
The principle of this involves the prin-
clpe OF government the preservation of rights
individuals The opinion of this that the
not invested with judicial power declare which
goods may be taken. The jury must say if these
existed.
Thus the presiding Judge put the responsibility
squarely up to the jury determine whether causes
existed which justified the conhscation of the plain
tiffs property The Governor had seized the liquor
stock and shipped it out of town. No evidence was
produced to show that the liquor in question was
spoiled that it adulterated misbranded or other
wise under the ban of the law. The jury found for
the defendant thereby expressing belief that for
conhscaton did exist. Had the plaintiffs stock CON
sisted OF groceries or dry goods clothing any
commodity which contributes to human welfare in
the absence of evidence show that such commodity
was unfit for consumption, the jury would hardly
have returned verdict for the defendant
All of which goes to show that the traffic in
liquor is different plane from the traffic in most
other commodities, and that there occasions when
the confscation of liquor does violate the most
vital principle of government, the preservation of
rights Individuals"
