LOVES WITcHcRAFr
BY CAROL HAlNES.

Sonia was twenty-three. and it had
only been four months since she had
come to New York to dance her beau
tiful Russian dances and make a for.
tune. Then one night, as she had been
returning from the theater, her car
had crashed into another and she had
been injured. And. after slow months
of pain, her money had gradually
slipped away. like her new found
friends. until only Title. the little
black-eyed East side maid. remained
faithful Now. to her hands, Sonia
intrusted her last treasure. She had
held it back from sentiment, and yet
she did not know the donor.
II had come to her the first night
in New York-sent without a card.
The curious gem was rounded on one
side and conceived on the other, some
thing like a reducing glass. And it
changed color almost constantly.
Without a penny left, she had given
II to Tillie to dispose of, and Tillie
went unwillingly up the stairs into the
shop on the second floor There was
one other customer bending over a
case in a dim corner. An old man
came forward slowly and took the
case from her hand
Where did you get this?" asked
the man. after a pause.
From the lady / work for. She
don't want her name used"
And she wishes to dispose of this;
yes?"
Right away. She amt got any
money for anything. And she'll never
dance again. She broke her ankles,

with her back. too. when the car
smashed up. II we don't sell this
she'll be charity case next week. Oh,
won't you buy it, please?'
He walked around the cases to
where the other man stood and spoke
in low but audible tone, for Titles
ears were sharp
1T has come to us of its own volt
ton, prince"
The other took the case and re.
garded the gem in silence, but Title
caught glimpse of his face. Surely
1t was very handsome, she thought
and the old man had said prince
1T is the same, is it not, sir?"
The prince bowed his head, looking
at the gem as it lay now in his palm.

said. II will not buy this gem, tel

The effort to repeal the recent
act establishing a polytechnic
school at Cookeville failed in the
legislature last week, as it ought
to have done. There was never
a more meritorious act. There
are some twenty counties in this
section of the state without the
advantages of any higher insti-
tuition of learning, such as this
school will give. Hundreds of
our boys and girls 90 every year
to- other parts of the state to re-
ceive instruction in the higher
branches, and at great expense.
All this time we have been pay
ing taxes into the state treasury
toIsupport these schools. We can
easily understand why the State
University, State Normals and
other high schools were opposed
toIthe Cookeville school; they ex-
pect extra appropriations from
time to time for their own. But
we are glad all their tricks and
fiIibuster tactics failed to sWerve
our representatives from their de-
termination to retain the school.
CoDkeville citizens should now
lay plans to provide suitable and
reasonable quarters for boarding
students. and the people al! over
this mountain country should

NO pFMAND FoR KIRA SESSIoN.

The Nashville Tennessean and
American, of Monday. May 24th.
on page four, under the heading,
State Press on Legislature, I"
quotes the Hickman County News
and also the Jackson Sun upon
the advisability and necessity
for an extra session of the Iegis-
lature.
A most singular and remark
able feature III connection with
the two articles mentioned is
that they appear to be exact re-
pleas of each other. Wherefore,
the inquiry naturally arises: Did
the editor of the Hickman Coun-
ty News copy the article in ques-
ton from the jackson Sun and
hold it out to his readers as his
own production; or, did The
jackson Sun plagiarize from the
Hickman County News; or, was
the article written by or on be-
half of some person say, a u. S.
Senator-desiring an extra SEES
sion for selfish purposes, and
SEM to the papers mentioned for
publication in an effort to make
it appear that there is de-
mand for an extra session?
Gov. Rye will not, of course,
be misled by artificial and stereo-
typed productions of this char
acter. If there is any demand
or sentiment in Smith county for
al extra session, it has not as
yet manifested itself. Legisla-
tive bodies should be convened
in extraordinary sessions only
when the exigenceis of the times
make it imperative. Merely tc
give a United States Senator
another opportunity to obtain
control of the election machinery
of the state, and thereby per.
petuate himself in office, certain
ly would not justify the ex.
pense and agitation incident t.
another meeting of the lawnak-
ing body.

This doesn't spell growth.
All the above arguments and
all that Mr.. Holland made have
very little weight compared TO
the following
We live in republican
or democratic country where a
majority is supposed to rule. If,
after fair and honest canvass,
a majority of the stockholders
are found to be in favor of going
in with the cumberland or any
other company, by all means, do
so; if majority oppose it. by all
means, leave it off.
Mr.. Holland objects to the
Cato resolutions. It seems that
thirty days ought to be sufficient
for each to make up his mind
We are glad of the call to meet
at Carthage July 1st. Hope it
will be a large representative
meeting.
Another thing, at the rate we
are growing, we will soon sur
round all the cities, and as the
cities need the country worse
than we need them. they will
find a way TO connect with us.
The substance of the above
was sent to the Macon County
News five weeks ago but the
News seems to be SO pro cumb.,
it Wouldn't let it out. Since
then, Mr.. Holland has come out
in fifteen facts (?). Fact No. ]

HOMES SIDE OF THE
TELEPHONE SITUATION

Pleasant Shade. Tenn, May
Is, 1915-We are glad to see the
telephone business being discus
ed. In this way, people usually
arrive at the truth. We feel
that both sides should he heard.
A person who had not been here
all the Time and familiar with
the different wires worked by
the Cumberland, would likely
feel that Mr.. Holland had cover
ed the entire ground and that
there was nothing an opponent
could say in REPUTATION. How
ever, we will mention few
things that could be said on the
other side.
First, you cannot make free
system and commercial system
mix. The commercial will ulti-
mately absorb the free system.
Why? The commercial is for
what he can make out of it,
Human nature in the form of cor
porate greed will always have
shrewd men to look after their
interest, while the free system
will sleep on its right.
Glad Mr.. Holland mentioned
the L. & N. r. r. When T. @.
r. r. was being built, the
N. @. & st. L. refused to sell or
lease its Lebanon branch for no
other reason but to keep the T.
@. out of Nashville, and when
they failed in this, they refused
to let the T. G. into the union
depot. Hence some of Mr.. HIS.
! bowling. All because the people
would have gotten some relief
through al independent road.
So much for monopoly's way of
doing.
While an exchange was being
run at Pleasant Shade by pri-
vate party, the Cumberland put
in drop over the protest of
nearly all the box holders. The
connecting switch boards imme-
diatly cut loose from us, which
was right. In arguing the mat
ter with the Cumberland repre-
sentative, (who was sent up
from Nashyille) he stated that
the local business was no money
| to them; and that all they
wanted was the long distance
work. We told him that he was
the very man we were looking
for; that we would see that he
got rent on one box mot drop)
at Pleasant Shade and all the
long distance work for years to
come; an1 as they had row of
posts and four wires leading to
Pleasant Shade and would never
| need but two of the wires any
more at all. we would buy a one
half interest in the posts and
two of the wires half way to
| Carthage. He very imphatically
said no; because that would be
helping Carthage to home ex-
change and they were not even
| going to allow Carthage to have
a Home exchange-they would
see t. that. Cali the same, Oar
thage has a Home exchange and
the two wires we tried to buy
are now hanging along IN pieces.)
Parties h re have talked
through the Home to Cookeville,
got their party within one min
ute and heard distinctly; also
have gotten parties at Lebanon
| within one and one-half minutes
and heard distinctly.

Thursday, the distinguished star OF

To put the street railway through
for the easy money there was In II,
the Big Boss knew he would have to
elect his own mayor The ward poll
ticians said Alderman Luke Simms
was too honest" but the Boss nomi-
mated and elected him, saying, Every
man has his weak spot, and I'll find
Luke's. But using Honest Luke as
an easy way to graft" even through
his love for his wife, who, by the
way, was the Boss discarded mistress,
was another matter. When the may
or's secretary discovered that the Boss
had ruined his sister, things begin to
happen. and the big fellow" learned
that such trifling matters as love, fidel-
ity, loyalty, honesty and self-sacrihce
were mightier weapons that he had
ever fought before. SO the climax
comes with a punch that thrills and
leaves any audience gasping. George
Fawcetts tremendous personality
looms large in this big drama Maude
George plays a heavy emotional role,
with gripping realism. Harry Carter
makes a powerful and dominating
boss. The balance of the cast is tai
ented and well chosen. Otis Turner
again proves his wizardry in both the
story and the directing.
