FAIR SUBSCRIPTIONS.
Increase Small the Past Week Because
All Have Been Busy.

Owing to circuit court being in ses-
sion here the past two weeks, some
political speakings also being on hand,
not much has been oone in the way of
increasing the subscriptions to the
Cumberland Plateau Fair Association.
Elsewhere in this issue appears the
call of the chairman of the association,
DIR. W. b. Young, of Clifty, asking the
people to meet IN the court house to-
morrow (Thursday) evening for fur
ther discussion of the fair question.
A few more subscriptions have been
received since our last issue, which
brings the total to $l,965. At the
meeting tomorrow night there will
very likely develop such interest as
will soon result IN the subscriptions
going far beyond the present point.
No person should look upon this en-
terrrise as one that is asking people to
GIVE. 1t is only asking you to invest
a small amount In what is practically
sure of becoming an investment that
is sure to at least pay lawful interest
on the money invested.
Following are the names and amounts
of those VIII. have subscribed up to
date:

WINTER COVER CROPS.
Good Farming in Our Beloved Southland
Cannot Be Done Otherwise.

A truth that Southern farmers,
sooner or later, must come to realize is
that saving our soils for our children
is one OF the greatest ~ot all tasks con-
fronting US, and that the intelligence
and energy with which we tackle the
job must in very large measure deter
nine our individual success or failure,
of the whole agricultural South.
Undoubtedly the most serious drain
on our stock Of soil fertility has come.
not through the crops grown, but rather
J because we have allowed our plant
foods to leach and wash away.
Any good farmer knows that the
leve land, however overcropped it may
be, can be put back in good shape by
few crops of legumes plowed under
or by an application of stable manure ;
but once our rolling hill lands are gull
lied and stripped of their best soil, the
task of remaklng them is long and
trying one.
The wise farmer, then, is he who
saves his fields, and ON our rolling lands
the surest and best of all ways of doing
this Is by means of cover crops kept on
the land winter and summer.
We have particularly emphasized the
value of crimson clover as a winter
cover crop because ~ it is legume
or nitrogen-gatherer. maturing in
ample time to piow under for the corn
crop to follow; (2) the seed required
to SOW an acre costs much less than
similar quantities of bur clover and
vetch; and (3) the crop is we'll suited
to practically all we'll drained soils in
the Cotton Belt. However, if for any
reason crimson clover cannot be used,
by all means cover the cultivated fields
with crop of rye.
Abruzzi rye particularly is proving
itself remarkably fine winter grazing
and cover crop, and we would like to
see every farmer in the South try at
least small area of it this tall. If
neither clover nor rye is planted, then
oats put IN in September or October,
eyen If the crop is plowed under in
March for corn or cotton, will be an
excellent investment for saving orr
lands and furnishing winter grazing.

THE IMPLEMENT SHED

From now till next spring most of
the implements of cultivation Will not
be used, Nnor will the planters. The
place for them. and for all other I'M.
plemenst not in use every day, is under
the shed. Why? What does a man
work tor? Implements cost money.
Exposure to the elements causes them
to rust, warp and decay. When they
are gone more work must be done to
get more money to buy more imple-
ments, when just little work and a
little care at the rlgnu time would have
made them last year or two or three

GOOD ADVERTISING MEDIUM
That Is What This Milwaukee Man
Thinks Of the Chronicle.

The following letter from Chas
Braun, q prominent real estate deale
OF Milwaukee. Wis.,, is self explanator,
and should act as an encouragement fo
our merchants and other persons VIII
wish to reach buyers. The letter fol
lows:
Milwaukee. Wis.,. Oct. II. 1916.
Dear Mr.. Bishop:
received today, from Mr.
Wilkes, of Loretto Tenn, a draft tol
$500 for the land advertised in the
Chronicle. Mr.. Wilkes had seen 1t in
the Chronicle. While the deal was 60
ing on with Mr.. Wilkes, received nu-
merous inquiries, one as far away as
Dakoto, all said they had seen 1t In the
Chronicle. This certainly speaks we'll
for the Chronicle as an advertising me-
dium. This closes out my holdings in
your county. | intend to always stay
in touch with the plateau and it's peo-
pie through the chronicle. The people
of the plateau | have found to be hon
est, upright, hospltable, law abiding
citizens. But right here want to give
your business men little advice. 1t
has been my experience with your
business men, that they will not answer
letters written to them by non-resl-
dents. This to a non resident is exas-
peratlng, for it leaves bim practically
up in the air; he does not know where
he is. 1t is also injurious to your coun-
ty. 1t was not so in the day of c. G.
Way, q. c. Stevens and H. e. Dunbar.
These men all had more pep than your
business men of today. l would advise
ali non-resldents that get the same
treatment that got, to do their busi-
ness through the Chronicle, where they
will not only get prompt attention. but
prompt results as well.
In conclusion let me wish you and the
Chronicle the bountiful success that
you both so we'll deserve. With kind
est regards.
Very truly yours,
Chas. Braun.

POSTOFFICE ROBBER CAUGHT.
Man Who Cracked CrossviIIe Postoffice
Safe, Caught in Virginia.

Lest week an officer of the govern
! ment was in the county with picture
of man recently arrested in Virginia
as being the person who robbed the
postoffice here over year ago.
The officer showed the picture to
"Duck" Smith and asked him if he
knew the man. Mr.. Smith replied that
he did and that it was the likeness of
the man who robbed the Crossville
postoffice. The Federal officer stated
that he wished to get some papers
from Cookeville and secure pass for
Smith and have him go to Virginia and
identify the man.
1t Will be remembered that "Duck"
Smith arrested the postoffice robber IN
the woods near Creston the morning
after the postotfice was robbed. After
landing the man in jail Smith returned
and made search tor stamps the rob-
Der had taken, along with a small
of money. Smith found over
81 200 in stamps but no money. The
robber was taken to Cookeville for
trial when the federal court convened
following the robbery and escaped
from jail there. Until now nothing
had been known OF the whereabouts of
the robber. He was arrested while
acting as bookkeeper for some firm in
Virginia.

COUNTY COURT.
Work Light and Consisted Mainly Of
Paying Bills and Report Of
Highway Commission

The work of the quarterly term Of
county court was the lightest at this
October term of any for many terms
The county judge made his report,
which was accepted and other reports
we're made.
The report of the county judge
showed much the same conditions as
usual. 1t showed the liabilities of the
county to be about $275, 900 with assets
amounting to little over ST, 500. The
outstanding bonds of the county are ::
Pike Roads, $24O.OOO Court House
Sl9, 900; Railroad SIG. 900, making a to-
tai of $274.0O0.
Health Officer w. A. Reed made his
report, which was accepted. Az II. r.
Webb Is away no report was received
from the commissioner tor the poor
tor the past quarter.
A report was made by e. e. Black.
secretary of the Highway Commission,
showing disbursements and the amount
still on hand. The report showed that
$l68, 553. 20 OF the $500, 900 road funds
is still on hand. No statement was
made as to the number OF miles OF
completed road as most OF the road
work is still IN an uncompleted cordi-
ton. The progress made, however,
is very satisfactory to the public gen.
orally, so far as we have been able to
learn, and the feeling is general that
we are to have many miles of good
grade from the expenditure when COM
pleted.
Several persons were relieved from
road work on account of physical dis
ability.
The road commissioners of the four |
districts were directed to also look at
ter the bridge work of their districts
and send warrants against the county,
when the amount did not exceed $25, |
when IN excess of SIS 1t was to be pre-
sented to the court for authorization.

HOOPER SPEAKS
TO LARGE CROWD
Court House Packed and Many Were
Unable to Get Within Hearing Dis
tance.--He Showed Nickel
lar Up in Bad Light.

Monday at one o'clock Gov. Ben W
Hooper delivered one of his character
istIc addresses IN behalf of his candl
dacy for the United States senate al
the republican nominee against Con
gressman Kenneth d. McKellar. The
speaker was introduced by Hon. A. l..
| Garrison, candidate for the state sen.
ate from this ninth district.
Before introducing Gov. Hooper Mr..
Garrison stated few things that he
would favor IN the event he Is elected,
among them being: That he would
endeavor to secure an appropriation of
SIS, 900 for the Cumberland Plateau
Fair Association, good stock law that
would be approved by the farmers. a
change in the manner of Appropriation
of the state school funds and the ex-
tension of the open season In hunting
and the abolishing of the hunters IL
cense, unless the money should 60 to
the schools Of this county. Also good
and effective law for maintaining our
roads after being built.
Mr.. Garrison spoke in most glowing
terms of the honesty, courage and
ability of Governor Hooper according
no man in tire United States his super
lor along those lines.
The address of Governor Hooper was
strongly punctuated with ringing ap-
plause by the large audience of nearly
800 people that filled the court room
until standing room was at premium,
while many were unable to get within
hearing distance at all. Not for many
years has such dense and enthusiastic
crowd been seen in that room or in
CrossvIlle as greeted Gov. Hooper
Monday.
He handled his opponent in way
that showed him up IN very unfavor-
able light. Among other things he
said:
What l am after is the truth and
the facts in this campaign and l have
given them and no one has ever success
sfully contradicted anything | have
said" what has Kenneth d. Nc
Kellar ever done In Congress? Can
you think of single act Of his in the
lower house that amounted to any.
thing? No. you can
"McKellar claims to have aided in
enacting the Rural Credits bill, but he
did not vote on it and was not there
when it passed." The Governor proved
MS statement by showing the copy of
the Congressional Recqrd giving the
vote and the name or Mr.. McKellar
vas not in the list OF those present.
'McKellar has talsified his own record
N congress-" said Governor Hooper,
'presumng upon the ignorance of the
voters to get by with it and say that
my man who will do that is not fit to
90 to the senate. whether he be demo-
rat or republican.
The speech by Gov. Hooper aroused
he republicans of the county AS they
lave not been aroused for years and
every indication points to record vote
# the republican party in this county
n the coming election.
Gov Hooper arrived from Monterey
shortly before noon by auto. He re-
urned the same way to Monterey,
where he spoke Monday night and
rom there he went to jamestown yes
erday.

BROKEN BY HURRICANE

One hundred and twenty-eight
window lights in the county building

perintendent Roberts was almost dis
tracted after investigating the dam

In some of the windows it appear
ed the glass had been peppered BY
shrapnel, and panes at times were
found with three to FIVE different
holes in them.
In the July storm total of 90
window panes were broken in the
building, according to report made
by the superintendent to County Com
missioner White, who, shortly after
the storm of Wednesday visited the
county building at the solicitation of
Mr.. Roberts to witness the damage
wrought The last week disturbance

out thirty-two more than that of the
July disturbance.
The commissioners have ordered
that the window panes be replaced
Monday.

CAR SERTICE TO
BIG BAYOU MONDAY

Car service between the city and
Bayou Grande will probably be es-
tablished by Monday afternoon or
Tuesday. A large force of men are a.
work repairing the storm damage to
that stretch of the Bayshore line. AT
present the cars are operated only
as far as Bayou Chico.
Much damage was wrought by the
storm of Wednesday, according to
reports of those who have been over
the line to the Big Bayou.
The cables and track were carried
some ten or twenty feet from the
right of way, and deposited in the
water.
These will have to be fished out OF
the shoal waters before the line can
be repaired.
