Where the soil is of heavy clay or

preferable, such as farm powder or

sandy or loose and is apt to permit
the easy escape of gases a fast explo-
sive, such as 40 to 60 per cent dyna-
mite should be used. The condition of
the soil with respect to moisture also
has great influence upon the amount
of work that certain quantity of pow

the soil is saturated to the base of the
stump and the subsoil is just damp is
a most favorable condition.

In loosening shale and rock to facili-
tate hand or steam shovel work dyna-
mite is also very effective. while stumns
may be blasted from the roadbed just
as though they were being removed
from field to be cleared and cultivated
BOulders also are easily shattered by
suitable loading and when of hard rock
may be crushed into surfacing stone,
The side bitches rs well as the long
outfall bitches can also be blasted in
keeping with the nature of the ground.
In fact, there are no limits practically
to the many uses and advantages OF
dynamite for road building when care
full and thoughtful attention is given
to the work.
incidentally the planting of shade
trees for roadside Improvement and at
Effectiveness is greatly facilitated by
the judicious IRE of little dynamite.
1t is recognized fact that trees plant

rapidly and progress more favorably
than those planted in the average spade

SENATORIAL PRIMARY.

JUST IW6nlY-Ou6 Gays from To-Day
the senatorial primary election for
the nomination Of a democratic
candidate for United States senator
will be held. The campaign waged
by the three distinguished as
pirants has been a most strenuous
one. For many days each Of the
candidates has made from one to
four speeches per day, and many
hundreds have gathered to listen
to the appeals OF the candidates.
But there are many who have
not heard either candidate-many
who know practically nothing Of
these gentlemen. AS a rule, the
better class ofcountry newspapers,
which are the mediums that reach
the rural and general population,
have taken no stock in the cam
paign either; for or against any
candidate. Newspaper editors are
learning something. Their efforts
for political aspirants have been
too little appreciated and the better
class Of frst-class papers are tax
ing no stock in these fights.
There are many voters who at
this late day do not know who they
will support; few say they do not
intend going into the primary, but
many have not determined who
to support for the nomination.
Local campaign Managers for the
respective candidates do not seem
to have been able to arouse very
much enthusiasm; in fact have
made but little effort to do SO. But
it is gratifying to note that there is
none Of the old-time bitterness
exhisting between leaders and
followers OF the candidates. Let
this friendly spirit continue
throughout the remainder of the
campign and when the time comes
to elect the choice of the voters in
the primary let every democrat
roll up his sleeves and see that a
democrat is sent to the United
States senate from Tennessee who
will work in perfect harmony with
the greatest president the nation
has ever had. The Enterprise
can truthfully say that it will
cheerfully support either Mr.. Lea,
Mr.. Patterson or Mr.. Mcclellan as
the nominee.

Explosives In Road Building

One of the newer methods Of road
building that is fast winning the in
dorsement of the better versed contrac-
tor is that of employing dynamite for
reducing the heavy work.
Grading through hard ground or rock,
for instance is tedious and requires
time and labor The use Of dynamite
for blasting such material is welcome
relief. Both rock and hard clay may
be loosened in the cut by well placed
charges of explosives if holes are drill
ed into the ground little way up the
bank and loaded. Careful spacing and
loading for electrically fired blasts will
result in bringing down both classes of
materials in the best possible manner.

DON'T BURN THE LEAVES.

"Don'tlIburn the leaves" is the
admonition of the agricultural ex-
perts. The dirty, old, damp leaves
are the best kind of fertilizer, il
they come from healthy trees.
When you rake up your yard, or
as most Dresdenites do, when
you have your yard raked up by
some other fellow, let him make
a pile of leaves in the back yard,
cover it with something to weight
the leaves down, then permit
them to rot all winter. Next
spring you will have a very fine
and cheap fertilizer, In Belgium,
famed for "the best farmers in
the world" the farmers go out
into the woods and collect every
leaf they can find, and save them
for the following spring.

kind or size Of stump can be given,
since different conditions govern all
cases. Two stumps of the same size,
kind and age Of cut, when one is grown
on well drained soil where the roots
must penetrate a great depth for water
and the other is grown on soil where
there is always water near the surface,
will demand different treatment for
extraction. The older stumps, especial
ly if from timber free from resin, re-
quire less powder. The exact amount
necessary for set conditions can, how
ever, be readily determined with lit
tie experimenting.
Few tools and supplies are required.
A one and one-half inch wood auger
with shank about four and one-half
feet long, a medium sized crowbar,
round pointed shovel and a wooden
tamping stick, together with the pow
der, fuse and caps, will serve to fill
the bill.

WHAT'S THE REASON?
Many Dresden People In Poor Health
Without Knowing the Cause.

WHhOuE huOWIHg lHe kduSe,
There are scores of people who drag
out a miserable existence without
realizing the cause of thier suffering.
Day after day they are racked with
backache and headache; suffer from
nervousness, dizziness, weakness,
languor and depression. Perhaps the
kidneys have fallen behind in their
work of filtering the blood and that
may be the root of the trouble. Look
to the kidneys-assist them in their
work-give them the help they need.
You can use no more highly recon-
mended remedy than Doan's Kidney
Pills.
Below is greatful testimony from
a sufferer in this locality:
E. H. Collier, retired farmer, 205
Oakland St., Martin, Tenn, says:
'My kidneys we're weak and l
couldn't control the kidney secre-
tons, l used Doan's Kidney Pills
as directed and they acted quickly in
regulating the action of my kidneys
and relieving the lameness in my
back"

ABOUT 100000 acres of land

acre could be made to produce at least
$25 worth of produce per year, there
is approximately $10,000,000,000 pro-

tidy figure. And when we take into
consideration that in many cases 1t re-
quires only the removal of sundry
stumps and boulders to make this land
profitable, it certainly looks as though
something might be done to save the
waste. "Stumping with dynamite" is
both an economical, quick and labor
saving method as well as one that is
growing in popularity daily.

To Watch Saloons.

Memphis, Tenn, October 25. -
Acting on orders of the chancery
court, Commissioner Utley placed
in service a large detail of plain
clothes officers, yelled with full
police power, whose sole duty will
be to find out and arrest blind
tigers. The new detail was pro-
vided with badges and started to
work early after consultations be-
tween Commissioner Utley, In
spector Perry and other police
officials, Charles Rutland, "chiei
tigdr sleuth, and Attorney W. T.
Mclean. The news sleuths will
enter suspected places as strangers
and make arrests wherever the
evidence can be obtained. Because
their faces are yet unfamiliar and
consequently they have not been
"spotted' as police officers by
liquor dealers, better results are
expected than would be of vetern
members of the department. who
are greatly handicapped in their
work because they are recognized.
The present detail is composed
almost entirely of new men who
have had no connection with the
police department in the past.
