The papers Of the state mention the
withdrawal recently Of the two-yeal
rate on a three year fire insurance
policy in Tennessee and we presume
this means another increase in rates
for Somerville. They are already al
most prohibitiYe and however it may
appear to the insurance commissioner
at Nashville 1t strikes Us that the Ten
nessee Inspection Bureau Is huge in
surance trust that needs to feel the
heavy hand Of the law. 1t does not
fix rates in proportion to the risk in
this city by big jump, and yet all the
companies use the rates fixed by it for
the very simple reason that 1t likes
them as high as any company dares to
ask. There seems but one remedy and
that Is in mutual company Of local
people. within the county and doing
business within the county only. This
last ruling will cost man on q $1,000
policy about FIVE dollars per year over
what he has been paying on his home
under the former rate Of three years
Insurance for the price of two.

War Upon Pain.

Pain is visitor to every home and
usually 1t comes quite Unexpectedly.
But you are prepared for every emer-
gency il you keep q small bottle Of
Sloan's Liniment handy. 1t is the
greatest pain killer ever discovered.
Simply laid on the skin-no rubbing re-
quired-it drives the pain away. 1t is
really wonderful.

24O Pound Pigs.

With corn above so cts. hogs eat
their heads off very quickly. The hog
that takes two or three months to get
on full feed never brings you a profit.
When you are ready to put your
shoats on feed, begin with the B, A.
Thomas Hog Medicine. Use regularly
and watch your shoats round out into
fat hogs in nine months-hogs going
well over 200 pounds and as high as 24O
pounds. Figure the average feeding
and you will see why the B. A. Thomas
medicine is a good investment. Try
feelings out your hegs on this plan and
if you are not more than pleased, we
will refund the cost Of the medicine.

DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES

DR.. TAFT Butler declared in an ad-
dress before Memphis business men last
Saturday night that business men owe
more to the people of their trade terri
tory than to sell them their goods, and
every town in the country from Mem
phis to Yum Yum in size can we'll ask
itself if its business men are living up
to their obligation. Are the towns do
ing for the country more than to sell
them their goods? Too numerous are
the things we should do that we are not
doing, and the things which are done
are often very expensive favors, if fa-
vors they could be called. Town and
country are not giving each other the CO.
operation which the best interests of
both demand. We do too little that
does not show immediate cash return,
and the sooner we get away from that
inclination and town and country join
hands in cooperative effort for better
conditions the sooner will we see a
prosperous and satisfied population.
The Memphis business men have re-
Gently pointed out the way by covering
20 counties in their Better Farming
campaign, will we in the, smaller cities
Of the Memphis territory follow their
lead and carry the gospel of co-opera-
tion into our surrounding territory.

The recent grand jury found true
bills against FIVE road contractors in
this county, but the names are not a.
valuable for publication, in fact The
Falcon has not learned who they, are.
1t is a matter of regret that conditions
are such as to warrant such action,
but such indictments in the past have
amounted to nought, the indictments be-
ing dropped on payment Of costs. From
past experience in such things it would
The Fayette falcon. (Somerville, Tenn.) 190?-current, 1915-12-17

appear that refusal by the county court
to make full payment where roads have
not been properly worked would serve
much better purpose. The road com
mittee, we know, has been very Jealous
in looking into road work recently, and
we have every confidence in the fair
ness of their report to the court at its
January term. Whatever that report
advises the court no doubt will, very
properly, adopt, but it is not believed
that much will come of the recent in
dictments.

The decent people of Somerville and
Fayette county do not want the court
house used as a dram shop as it has re-
Gently used. 1t has been a noticeable
fact for several months. and par

times when crowds are in town, that

left there. 1t can be stopped and

More than in ordinary seasons is the
south fortunate this year in having her
corn homegrown. Word comes from
the northern corn belt that the crop
there is short and of poor quality. AS
strange as it may seem to US it

Along with the next August election,
1916. it should not be forgotten that
Tennessee voters will decide whether or
not there will be held convention to
frame a new constitution for the state
Few, If any, deny that such document
is much needed, that the present funda-
mental law of this state is Anticipated
and insufficient to meet the needs of
present day conditions. Some forms of
the public business under the present
constitution are cumbersome and ex-
pensive, some processes of law are slow
and unequal in their pressure, and
there are other expensive and trouble
some practices that must be made to
conform to the antedeluvian document
which serves as basis for our state
government. And when the new consti-
tuition is called for by the voters, as it
most surely will be, the best trained
legal mind in the county should be sent to
represent Fayette county in the conven-
ton. 1t will not be fit place for nov
ices in legislation, nor for those who
have visions and dreams of what they
would like to see as law, but for the
solid, substantial man, a man of depth
and breadth Of experience and learning.
