POTTER LOSES SUIT
Gains Two Small Points, But Falls Far
Short of His Aim.

The suit brought by S. w. Potter
against the city to restrain the board
of mayor and aldermen from collecting
taxes and performing the other func-
tlons belonging to city corporation
was tried by Judge II. A. Roberts, at
Cookeville, Friday and resulted in de-
feat for Potter on the main issues.
Judge Roberts held that any taxes
assessed in 1914 that had not been COL
lected were invalid and could not be
collected, but that any taxes that had
been collected could not be recovered.
: That point in tavor of Potter saved
him from paying taxes to the city
amounting to about $1,000 or $1,000.
Judge Roberts also held that the city
was liable for the state and county
taxes and all costs that had accrued
previous to the passage of the ordi-
nance approved October 27, last. That
means that the city will have to nay
some $12. 90 to $500 in costs and Mr..
Potter will be liable for the remainder
of costs and all witness fees. A rough
estimate of the cost Potter will have
to pay and expenses already met Is
around $50. What the attorney S fee
will be is matter on which we are
not informed.
Attorney G.. e. Peek put up very
strong fight and is accredited with
bringing out all there was in the case
for his client. e. E. Reyes, for the
city, won on every point where he
made determined stand. 1t was un-
der his advice that the lnvalidity of the
assessment was corrected by ordinance
and he cont tehded all the time that any
lame place in the charter touching the
assessment OF taxes could be cured by
ordinance, and Judge Roberts so ruled.
All IN all it is a splendid thing for
the city that the suit was brought and
the outcome will settle definitely all
doubt that the city has the power to
levy taxes and enforce collection.
While we are unable to learn If MIR.
Potter intends to carry the case to the
supreme court, the feeling prevails
that he will be content with the case
as 1T is and drop the suit.

AT The MECCA

Will have 1.-The Passion Play" on
Christmas day. You should see this as
it is one of the greatest productions
ever given.
Possibly some one will want to know
more about the Passion Play. " The
following explanation is secured from
the international Cyclopedla:
"ln 1883 villagers of Oberamuner-
gau, in the Bavarlan highlands, on the
in cessation of a plague which DESC
lated the surrounding country, had
vowed to perform every tenth year the
Passion of our Saviour, out of graft
tude, and as means of religious IN
structlon, VOW which has ever since
been observed.
"This, perhaps, is the only mystery
or miracle play which has survived to
the present day. The personator of
Christ considers his part an act of re-
llgious worship he and the other prln-
cipal performers are said to be selected
tor their holy life and consecrated to
their work with prayer. The players,
about 500 in number, are exclusively
villagers. The acts alternate with tab
leaux from Old Testament and choral
odes.
Admission: Children SC; 5 to Is

WAR SITUATION
Central Powers Have 0verrun Serbia and
Allies Are Retreating on Saloniki

Within the past few weeks the cen
tral powers and Bulgaria have com
pletely swept the Serbian troops out Of
! their country or have captured or killed
them. The Serbians have retreateo
into Albania and Montenegro. where
they are uniting with the forces of
those countries against the advance of
the Austrlans. In spite of the stub
born resistance the Serbs and Monte
negrans are being slowly driven back
and it now seems Montenegro will soon
be completely conquered unless the
winter weather prevents active cam
paigning.
Several thouasnd French and English
troops that were in southern Serbia
have been violently attacked by the
Bulgars and are retreatlng to Salonlkl,
Greece, the seaport that has been used
as headquarters by the allies for some
weeks.
Greece finds herself in desperste
straits and seems likely to have to de-
mobilize her troops and allow the allies
full liberty of the country, including
the railroads. That would mean that
the central powers would not hesitate
to prosecute the war on Greclan soil, if
deemed expedient. Such a course
would make Greece the battle-ground
and result in untold damage to proper
ty and a probable loss of many lives.
At the u. rdanelles nothing of i'm
portance has been accomplished for
weeks. Con,i lions seem to favor the
Turks.
Italy has mHde some progress against
Austria, but winter weather seems to
have brought tt;lgs close to stand
Still. On thG ..lssian front winter
weather has pr e.ically put an end to
activity OF niuaa~ iaoment. The fights.
ing in France and Belgium IS of the
same ''glve and take' kindthat has
prevailed for months.

DUE TO CLOSED SALOONS.

Circuit Judge s. G. Brown, OF
Athens, says the court that convened
there this week will be the llghtest for
many years. While two weeks and
longer have usually been required to
bold the court, he thinks owing to the
light docket, that one week Will be
sufficient time IN which to dispose of
all cases.
For the first time in many years
there Is not single murder case on
the docket and very few criminal cases
of any moment. Judge Brown attrlb-
utes this great improvement to the
closing of the saloons.

AGRICULTURAL SHORT COURSE.

Is education worth while for th,
farmer, and would it be profitable t,
me as farmer, from the standpoint o.
dollars and cents, to take time, spent
railroad fare, pay for board and room
at Knoxville and attend the Short
Course in Agriculture at the State
University?
The answer to this question is indi-
Gated by the results of a survey made
by Cornell University, New York.
The survey included about fourteen
hundred farmers, divided into three
groups according to the education they
had received; namely, distrlct-school
group, high-school group, and college
group. The first group of farmers had
an average annual income of only
1913. 90; the second group had an in
come of $622. 90; and the third group
had an income of $947.0O. The differ
ence in income between the district
school man and the high-school man is
$3O4. 90 per year, which is equivalent
to the interest on Sc, $50. 0O at five per
cent.
The conclusion may be safely drawn
that the possibilities for success in
farming increase with the extent of
education just as they do in other pro-
LESSONS.
During the winter months, when
farm work is comparatively light, 1t
would be we'll worth while for farmers
generally to study better methods.
The way to get the most out OF such
study is by attending short course,
such as is offered at the State Univer-
sity. This course is practical, and is
open to young and old. There are no
charges for the work, ana reduced
rates are given by the railroads. The
course opens January 3, and continues
to February 26 The student is not
compelled, however, to stay the whole
time. During the first month the in
struction is. on soils, fertilizers, crops
'anu i've STOCK and x,urA1g psne aecond
month it is on dairying anG fruit and
truck growing. Any part or all of this
work may be taken.

with nearly empty milk bottle, and
wrapping them both In the baby s own
red cloak which she had proudly
brought to take the place of the old

AT first she had felt angry toward
Fslbert; but when she looked at the
clock and remembered his horror of
being late, she softehed toward him !;
and by the time she reached home and
found the baby none the worse for her
little outing, she also laughed; and be-
ing fair-mlnded Womna, she told Ell
bert, when he came home to dinner,
that it was all her fault. And Ebert

THE new SCHOLAR.

Ebert Collins had never been mark
ed absent or tardv since his first going
to school in September, and it was his
ambition to finish the whole year with
out a mark partly because he
really liked to be prompt and partly
because he thought it would be so nice
to see his name in the list of perfect
scholars at the end Of the school year.
