TOM RYE FOR CONGRESS ?
Report From Nashville is That He
Will Run

A report from Nashville, which is
meeting with consideration over
the State that is surprising, is that
Gov. Tom Rye will run for Congress
next year to succeed Thetus w. Sims
lin the Eighth District.
Those who profess to know any
thing about what is going on at the
State capital say that Gov. Rye is
not at all enamored of his present
job, and the criticisms of his ad-
ministration that have been pouring
into Nashville have indicated that
he would like to escape being Gov
ernor again. The Robertson County
executive committee last week, turn
ed down resolution indorsing the
Democratic State administration.
1t is known that Gov. Rye has
long wanted to go to Congress, and
if he had not been nominated for
Governor last fall the probabilities
are that he would have run for
Congress. He comes from Henry
County, which, with the exception
of Madison, is the biggest county in
the Eighth and is strongly Demo
cratic.

Drowned in BAYOU.

Tiptonville, Tenn, July 19.-
Earl Smyth, aged "a, son of DR.. A.
p Smyth, of Ridgely, one of the
wealthiest land owners of Lake
County, was drowned in bayou at
what is known as Sandy Ford at
Tank No. 2 on the c., M & G. rail
road, a few miles south of Ridgely,
Saturday afternoon, and his body
was not found until early yesterday
morning. The young man was farm
ing on his fathers plantation south
bayou on Saturdays and other days
to take bath and change his cloth
ing. AS he did not return in the
afternoon, his home people became
fearful that something had happened
to him, and after search, his
clothes were found on the bank of
the bayou. Immediately friends be-
gan to drag for the body, which was
found more than 200 yards below his
clothes, early yesterday morning.
The young man could not swim, and
it is thought he stepped off into
deep hole and could not reach the
bank and drowned When the body
was found the hands were clutched
to the limb of tree under the wa
ter and the limb had to be cut off
the tree and taken to the bank with
the body before taken from the
hands, so tight was the grip

Lee Line Jury Hung.

Tiptonville, Tenn, July 1S.-Cir-
ter being in session only one week.
Judge Joseph E. Jones and Assist
ant Attorney-Gene Tom Morris
were on hand A total of so indict-
ments were found by the grand jury.
The most important case of this
term of court was that of L. p
Reeves VS.. the Lee Line Company. 1t
was alleged by Mrs. Reeves that the
steamer Bob Lee, Jr., ran against
the gasoline launch St. Abbott at
Booths Landing in the month of
March, 1914, causing considerable
damage. 1t seems that Reeves and
the Lee Line failed to agree and
Reeves brought suit for $4,000 dam
ages. Attorney Draper, of Dyers-
burg, represented the plaintiff, while
Burnett & Donaldson, of this city,
represented the defendant. After
three days the jury failed to agree
and were dismissed, being hopelessly
tied. Ten of the jurors were for al
lowing Mrs. Reeves some damages,
while two contended that the Lee
Line was not responsible for the ac-
cident to the st. Abbott and were
not allowing any damages at all.
The case caused much interest in
the courtroom and much speculation
as to the outcome was evident.
