POLITICAL POT BO|LS
AS SENATORIAL FIGHT
GATHERS GREAT FORCE
Real Battle To Be Staged In
November Between Weldon
and Convention Choice
LITTLE INTEREST Is SHOWN
In APPROACHING CONVENTION
Mccall Announces and Will
Make Fight Before Gather
ing At Mckenzie Soon

Interest in the approaching
political battle between William
E, Weldon and the nominee of
the Mckenzie convention, who
is vet to be chosen, for the State
Senate continues to increase
daily, and by the time the Nov
ember polls have opened the
fight will have developed into
one of the warmest contests ever
pulled off in Henry and Carroll
counties.
The first act was staged at
Mckenzie some weeks ago when
the senatorial committee ordered
= delegated convention to be
held at that place on Saturday,
September 9, following mass
conventions at Paris and Hunt
>ingdon on September A. Mr..
weldon, who has been an an
nounced candidate for several
months and who had contended
for a primary to select the norni-
nee, at once issued a statement,
backing up a former card to the
same effect, saying that he
would not submit his claims to a
convention but would appeal to
the voters in the November
election. He also announced
that should he be elected he
would repeal the present Henry
county road law.
Just previous to the committee
meeting. I. v. Burton, popular
Elkhorn business man. announced
his candidacy for the nomination.
Since that time Mr.. Burton has
been seeing a good many of the
voters in both counties and has
met with much encouragement,
it is said. He will go into the
convention at Mckenzie and his
friends are confident that he will
be nominated.
A few days ago 10 H. Mccall,
present Senator, announced his
candidacy, subject to the con-
vention, and it seems that the
fight between him and Mr.. Bur-
ton will be warm, although not
very much interest is being
shown in the convention. Both
have many strong supporters in
the two counties, however, and
it seems that when the second
act of the senatorial drama is
staged at Mckenzie one week
from tomorrow that there may
be some interesting times.
There seems little doubt, how
ever, but that the Big Show,
which will be pulled off at the
polls in November, will draw
the most interest.

TOMATO CLUB GIRLS IN
CAMP At FAIR GROUNDS
THIS week; MANY THERE
Today Is Rally Day and Whole
County Is Invited To Be
In Attendance
MISS HESSIE HAZE SMITH
In CHARGE OF ENCAMPMENT
Hundred Girls Enjoy
Occasion At Fair Grounds
For Four Days

Today friday will witness
the closing of the canning club
girls encampment at the fair
grounds with a rally, to which
all Henry countians are invited.
The girls went into camp at the
fair grounds Tuesday with a
large number participating. The
encampment has been a success
in every way. The girls are
having a fine time and the ex-
perimental a n d demonstration
work in the art of canning vege-
tables and fruits has been inter-
esting and instructive to them.
Miss Mabel Wheatley, Miss
Myrtle Harding and Miss Mar
tina Thomas, teachers in the DEM
onstration work, have been on
the grounds since the beginning
of the encampment, giving the
girls the benefit of their exper-
ience and training in this work.
Today the work of the girls
will be on display and a large
number Of people throughout the
county are expected to be in at
tendance. M any prominent
speakers will also be heard to-
day. Among the speakers are
DR.. G. A. Keffer, director of the
lewiston Of extension, University
of Tennessee; H. S. Nichols, of
the West Tennessee demonstra-
ton farm; Mr.. Schoenfeld, mar
ket specialist and Mrs. Warner,
health specialist, of the Univer-
sity of Tennessee.
Local merchants and business
men contributed to the success
of the encampment by giving
money and many articles need
ed by the girls. The encamp-
ment has been under the direc-
tion of Miss Hessie Smith, coun-
ty demonstration agent, and to
her should go much of the credit
for the success of the undertak-
ing.

COUNTY OFFICIALS TO
TAKE OFFICE HERE ON
MONDAY; TW0AEWONEs
Spaulding Goes In AS Judge of
County Court and Jackson
AS Trustee
WALLACE OLIVER TO BE NEW
ASSISTANT COUNTY TRUSTEE
Young Man From Eighteenth
Chosen By Jackson---Other
Officials Go In

On Monday the recently elect
ed county officials will appear
before County Court Clerk w. /.
Dale, make their bonds, prescribe
to the oath and take their
respective offices. 1t has long
been the custom in Henry caunty
to induct the new officials into
office on the first Monday in
September, rather than on the
first day of the month, and the
custom will be followed this
year
In the August election Sheriff
7. M. Hagler and Tax Assessor
j. Sam Culpepper were reelected
to their respective Offices, and d.
T. Spaulding was chosen county
judge with D. L. Jackson as
county trustee.
Rev. Spaulding was formerly
county register for two terms,
but Mr.. Jackson never held a
county office. Both are well
known throughout the county
and were nominated in the
county Democratic primary last
fall.
Wallace Oliver, a well known
young man of the Buchanan
section, will be Mr.. Jackson's
assistant in the trustees Office,
it is understood, succeeding
Wade H. Whitlock, who has
served under the present trustee,
W. 7. Young.
For several days MIR. Oliver
has been in the Office, getting in
touch with the duties of the posi-
tion. Mr.. Young and Mr.. Whitlock
have taken much pleasure in ex-
planning and assisting him in
every way possible. Mr.. Oliver has
made many friends here and
there is no doubt but that he
will make an efficient assistant
to Mr.. Jackson.
Sheriff Hagler will probably
retain all of his former deputies
through his new term of Office,
which he enters Monday.

REALTY MARKET GROWS
ACTIVE EARLY; SIGNS
POINT TO PROSPERITY
Local Real Estate Men Receive
letters From Many Buyers
In Northern States
DEALS RECORDED HEIRESS-LOVE
$6,OOOWORTK PROPERTY SOLD
Early Opening Of Market Is
Indication Of Loosening
Money Matters

According to the local real es-
tate agents and the records in
the office of County Register w.
L. Manning, the Henry county
real estate market is becoming
active this year earlier than be-
fore in many years.
The local real estate firms,
Adams & Currier, H. l.. Smith,
and Douthit & Currier, report
much Henry county property list
ed for sale and many letters re-
ceived from prospective north ern
bpyers. Some large deals are
now on foot and it seems proba-
BILE that quite a number of others
will be negotiated within the
near future.
The opening up Of the real
estate market in August is some
thing new for Henry county, and
points to general prosperity and
the loosening of the money mar.
ket, it is believed.
Records in the office of Regis
ter Manning show that deals to
the total amount of more than
Sc, 900 have been made within
the past ten or twelve days.
Following are the transfers that
have been recorded:
H. G. Paschali and wife to N.
E. Paschall, 100 acres, 81, 900.

difficult matter for a contestant
to secure five new subscribers to

big special club offer, as the
subscriptions turned in during
the next two weeks will count a
great deal more than they will

nest, and those who are consider
ing entering the campaign should
begin work without further

has passed there will be a big
change, and the time to get busy
is right now. If you have not
received a receipt book and in
structions come or write to the

tions the regular vote schedule
will apply.
Just so you get five NEW
subscribers, whether one year or
longer periods, on each set of
five you will be given the extra
vote coupon good for $4,000
extra votes. The subscriptions
may be of any length from one

ness only and is positively the
biggest offer of the whole cam
paign, and is the only extra vote
offer which will be made in
which the new subscribers will
count for more than the old.
There is no limit to the num-
ber of sets any one candidate
may turn in. In fact, each con-
testant on the list should make
every effort to secure just as
many sets as possible, for this
offer will count a great deal in

HUERTA GENERAL
CROSSES BORDER
HOSTILE To j. s.

Ell PASO, Tex, April 1O.-There is
considerable mystery today surround
ing the reported crossing of the border
by General Ynez Salazar, a former
Huerta general, who had been living
here.
Salazar is said to have gone to Mex
leo with avowedly hostile intentions to-
ward the United States. The story of
his crossing was told by az associate
of Salazar, and later investigated by
American military authorities.
These authorities state in their opin-
ion the report is true, though Salazar's
wife denies he has gone into Mexico.
AS substantiating the report of Sala-
zar's entry into that country a proc
lamation calling on patriotic Mexicans
tc join in the protection of Mexican sol
and signed with his name has been dis
covered.

right was resolved by counsel to
change the plea within ten days. DR..

Peck, and the defense, it is believed,
will be that Waite's mind was unbal-
