COOPERATION NEEDED.


The efforts on the part of oul
very progressive and jealous farm
demonstrator, Mr.. R. E. Ellis,
in behalf Of the Weakley county
boys corn clubs ought to have
the hearty cooperation of not
only the farming class of people,
but the business and professional
men Of the county. Let it be
understood that no complaint has
been made bp Mr.. Ellis of a lack
OF cooperation. II there has not
been the cooperation there should
have been, Mr.. Ellis has said
nothing about THE has gone
forward in his quiet, unassuming,
pushing manner and made the
corn club idea a success.
The corn shown at the recent
fair by the boys corn clubs OF the
county was, perhaps, the most
interesting feature of the fair, the
department most commented on
and the department attracting
most attention. The young men
are showing the older ones what
can be accomplished on Weakley
county soil when scientific methods
of seed collection, preparation Of
soil and cultivation are followed.
Their example is worthy OF
emulation. At least, their efforts
deserve commentator, and, since
this is purely and simply an
agricultural section, the whole OF
us-printer, lawyer, doctor, school
teacher and merchant, dependent
upon the products Of our soils for
a livelihood, the man in charge
Of this work should have the
hearty cooperation Of all classes
of citizens. Practically all OF us
are directly interested.
On Wednesday, Nov. 81, there
will be held in Dresden a great
corn club show, at which specimens
of corn grown by these worthy
young farmers will be placed on
exhibition, premiums to be award
ed for the best exhibits. This
ought tobe an event in the county
second only to the great annual
county fair. Every citizen OF
every walk of life ought to take
an interest in the show and en-
courage these young men by
coming to town and examining
the corn on exhibition. Examine
each lot critically. You will thus
not only show the boys you are
interested in their efforts, but
will learn something about corn
YOU never knew before. Last
year, on account Of rain, many
who would otherwise have at
tended were kept at home, but
the town people could have shown
more interest and the Enterprise
hopes they will do so this time.
The corn club show held here |
last year was Of inestimable value {
in keeping the spirit alive. Then {
let's all do our part toward max
ing the show this year even a
q eater success, which will mean :
more corn and better corn next
year. Id

$4,000 BUSHELS
OF SWEET POTATOES

The Lexington Progress Of last
week has the following to say
concerning the great sweet po-
tato industry at Gleason, which
seems to have attracted almost
nationwide attention:
By direct favor Of President
John Howe Peyton, Of the Nash
vile, Chattanooga & st. Louis
Railway company. The Progress
editor was enabled at the first Of
the week to take a party Of ten
Henderson county farmers and
boosters to Gleason, Weakley
county, just at the time when the
potatoes had been housed for the
winter and were undergoing the
drying out or curing process, by
which they are saved to hold for
the later and of course better
market.
The party headed, or as was
said, "chaperoned" by the "old
man" of this Office, con sisted of
Messrs. Forrest Winslow, Ken.
non Smith, Jack Logan, Billie
McHaney, Berry Holmes, Priest
Pearson, Will Dyer, Jake Below,
Dick Undertake. and Jim Glib
son, with the addition of W. r.
Holland, the efficient and cour-
teous local agent for the N. c.,
who takes an abiding interest in
agriculture and proposes to give
farm improvement in this section
all help in his power.
The party was met at the Glea-
son station by friends already
made, in automobiles, among
whom was Mr.. Joe L. Holbrook,
editor Of the Dresden Enterprise,
who has made a great name as
a booster Of better farming and
good roads-in fact, it is to a
very great extent due to the per-
sistent work of Joe Holbrook that
Weakley county today has one
OF the best systems of graded
roads in West Tennessee. Mr..
Holbrook was accompanied by
his wife, whose attitude toward
her hubby is where thou goest
| will go"-and every time as a
welcome companion.
The entire party with the ex-
ception of Messrs. Berry Holmes,
Billie McHaney and Forrest
Winslow, who were invited to
dine with Prof. O. E. Holmes,
head Of the Gleason school, (who
many of our readers know is a
Henderson county product) went
at once to the home Of ESQ. W. R.
Hawks, on the outskirts of the
town, where a sumptuous dinner
was served and enjoyed to the
fullest by the hungry crowd who
had been told in advance of the
culinary skill Of Mrs. Hawks, az
we'll as the limitless hospitality
of the whole Hawks family, head
I'd by the Squire, who represent.
he highest type of progressive
armer, good citizenship and hos
oitality equal to that of the Ice
ander-with whom welcome new
n wears out.
The afternoon was devoted to
he inspection of potato houses,
illed from floor to ceiling with |
weet potatoes in latticed bins and
undergoing the heat process,
which is conceded to the most
satisfactory means by which the
ubers may be saved for the mar
let Of the late winter and spring.
'erhaps as many as $4,000
ushels of potatoes wers seen,

Worrying over Scnatorsllip.

Democratic newspapers have -evi-
IDENTIFY given up the idea that United
States Senator William E. Chiffon
will succeed himself next year or be
succeeded by another Democrat. and
they have turned their entire atten-
ton to trying to figure out what Re-
publican will be sent to the United
states Senate to succeed Senator
Chiffon. 1t is giving them great
amount Of worry thus early as shown
as follows by the Wheeling Register:
The senatorial contest of 1916 is
now receiving attention from son,e
ofsthe Republican newspapers of the
state, and present indications are
that it will develop into one Of the
bitterest political fights in the his
tory of West Virginia. Several Re-
publican newspapers in suggesting
candidates for the toga frankly de-
clare their Opposition to the state
house program" The Fayette Trib-
une nominates Judge George Wesley
Atkinson, formerly of Wheeling, who
has been a member of Congress from
this district. and governor OF the
state. but who has taken no active
part in politics since his elevation
News suggests - oey" Gaines, as the
most likely to win against the state
house candidate.
The Charleston Mail. the Hunting
ton Herald-Dispatch, and other Re
publican papers not in love with DR..
Hatfield are yet to be heard from.
and whether they have candidates of
their own or NOT. they are expected
TO oppose the nomination of the gov
Eernor. In fact. the governor is SO
unpopular with a faction in his own
party that it is just possible that he
may dccidenot to enter the race His
present activities do not Justify that
view. however. His efforts TO get
Eversy with the Republican state sem
ators. and his sudden remarkable
zeal for prohibition after playing
with the other side for years, prove
that Henry D. has not yet abandoned
hope.

ANOTHER DANGEROUS DRUG.

Since the new drug law has gone
into effect prohibiting traffic in habit
forming drugs made from opium, CO.
Goa leaves or their derivatives, ex-
perts in the United States Bureau OF
Chemistry have taken note of other
drugs. which do not come under the
law, but which may be introduced
detrimentally IN this country. One
of these is the drug knownSas Can
nabia indica.
The New York board OF health has
already found this substance in a
numb erS of patent medicines. re-
port made by DR.. w. Bastedo.
professor OF pharmacy in Columbia
University, states that the use Of
hash eesh by the East Indians and
people OF egypt is Injurious chiefly
because Of the cannabia indfca It
contains.
It is claimed nat the habitual use
of this drug is already being prac-
ticed by the people OF the United
States and that it is being noticeably
increased by the difficulties in OBJ
tanning opiates. No cases OF death
from it are as yet recorded, but fu-
ture regulation Of its sale is strongly
recommended.
