DEMONSTRATION
AND LECTURE CAR
N, C. & St. L. Railway Promoting
Better Farming Methods.

In it's endeavor to promote better
farming methods, the introduction
of pure-bred livestock, and closer
relation between the farmers, bank
ers and business men along its lines
the Nashville, Chattanooga & st
Louis Railway has recently con-
structed demonstration and lecture
car to be used by the Industrial De-
partment of the road in the further
ance of these ideas.
Recently this car made a tour
thru the Sequatchie Valley where,
during three days, over $500 farm
ers and their wives and children
were entertained with stereopticon
views and lectures on farm topics,
improved agricultural methods, bet
ter livestock, etc. Later it is pro-
posed to put on the car motion
icture machine and show the farm
ers motion pictures of farm scenes
along the road, illustrating what
may be accomplished in this section,
and demonstrating the work carried
on at the experiment and demonstra-
ton farms now operated by the road.
Under the direction of the In
dustrial Department the car will
make tour of the Shelbyville and
Sparta branches August IL, IL and
13 and lectures and demonstrations
will be given at Shelbyville, Nc
Minnville, Quebeck and Sparta. In
this work the road has the hearty
support and cooperation of the sew
eral agricultural and dairy experts
from the University of Tennessee.
There is a convenient auditorium ar
ranged in the car where the farmers
may gather for the lectures and to
see the stereopticon. There, you may
hear discussed matters of interest by
men who are experts on the various
matters they seek to impress upon
the farmers. 1t is believed from the
receptions accorded these speakers
and by the genuine interest mani
tested by the farmers themselves
that the efforts of the road to pro-
mote better farming methods thru
out the territory served by it will be
and that much good will
DE accomplished.

WITHIN The Law"
The Most Satisfying MelO-Dfama Ever
WHITEHALL Special Scenery.

Here it is at last. A real melo-
drama with a big story full of mer-
riment and life. Those much abused
terms. gripping and ripping, only
partly describe it. Within the
Law" is frankly melo-dramatic and
its episodes are essentially theatrical.
The big scenes have a punch inthem,
the comedy relief is really comic, and
yes, even those old conventions of
the stage are used again. Vice is
punished and virtue is rewarded. but
in a new way. The story is too COM
plicated to be told completely. Its
main idea can only he suggested. To
enjoy it fully in all its dramatic stir
it must be watched as it unfolds on
the stage. Mary Turner, salesgirl
poorly paid,is accused unjustly, as is
afterward shown, of theft and sent
to prison. Upon her release she be-
comes crook, always working clev-
erly within the law. To revenge her
self on her former employer she
succeeds in winning his son and in
ducing him to marry her. How real
love comes to this strangely married
pair and other incidents that include
a stirring burglary and murder with
a revolver to which a Maxim silencer
has been attached.are only part of
the exciting scenes. At Thomas op-
era house, Kingstree, Friday night,
December 10. Admission 35. SO and

GATH CONGRESS
NOW IN SESSION.
Continued from page u

The Senate Democratic assignments
will be announced later in the week.
The Republicans began their part
of the organization work today, re-
electing Senator Gallinger their floor
leader and chairman of their con-
ference. Although some of the
principal bills upon which the Ad-
ministration forces will be concen-
trated will be introduced soon, none
of them can be taken up until the
committee organizations are COM
plete.
The first roll call in the house to-
day showed APT members present
and eight ]absentees of them
accounted for by death. The DEM
ocratic majority, although reduced,
put Speaker Clark back in the chair,
221 to 1874, and when the brush
came on readopting the rules of the
last House the Democratic leaders
showed they still had the majority
in hand, beating Republican Leader
Mann's proposal for a revision, 209
to 1872.
In tine Senate the newly elected
and reelected members took the
oath. The body was leaderless when
Secretary Baker raped for order at
noon and Senator Martin, of Vir-
ginia, was chosen to preside. Thirty
Senators swore in, Senators Brady, of
Idaho, and Smith, of South Carolina,
being absent. After this ceremony
Senator Clarke was elected and the
Senate, recessed.
The cloture fight, as result of its
failure in the Democratic caucus,
did not come up. When the old
rules were readopted, however, Sem
ator Walsh, of Montana, announced
that he reserved the right to SUBJ
NIT rule revisions at later time.
