, URKEY PRICES
ARE TOO HIGH
PROMINENT DEALER SAYS THAT
FARMERS CAN MAKE MORE
MONEY HOLDING FOWLS.

Produce dealers are paying too
much for turkeys at present" said
prominent poultryman this morning,
since the tendency is to take the
birds from the farms before they have
attained their maximum growth. Rails
ers are likely to believe that they can
make more money by selling the birds
in their present condition than by
keeping them until they have attained
their maximum growth. But such is
not the case, and, if the present rate
of selling is maintained, farmers OF
Maury county will lose much money
Turkeys are not really worth what we
are paying for them on account OF
heir condition"

ty nominee for state senate, W. ].
Russell and Thomas Y. English, nomi-

None of the candidates are at all
anxious as to the result of the elec.

voters that they come out and roll up
staggering majority for the demo-
Gratis on November Z. All profess
their belief that the entire democratic

Every district and precinct of the
county will be visited by the nomi-

With reference to the senatorial

lowest possible estimate. | am really

Mr. Humphreys can see nothing but
the election of Woodrow Wilson. He
stated that, while the count would un-
doubtedly be close, he believes that
the president will be returned to office
by the people on account of his mag
nifcent record in constructive legisla-
ton.

DR.. Boaz gave the expenditures OF
the institution for the past year as
totaling almost $1,000, and he careful.
ly and painstakingly accounted for
every cent that had been paid out for
the children.
Dr. Boaz spoke eloquently of the
need that the debt be raised, so that
unencumbered, the home might con
tinue the work that had so nobly been
, begun. He pied with the gathering
that those present cast bread upon
the waters that it might return to
| them after many days. He was fol
lowed by Dave Gum, of Sparta, who
said that the money could be given
to no better cause. He said that the
protection of the fatherless and the
homeless is the first duty of all house
holds. He called attention to the
Golden Rule of life: 1--WE should
do unto others as We would have them
do to u.s." He was followed by mem.
bers of the board of directors, who
explained the necessity of clearing
away the debt.
Subscriptions were then solicited,
and the hearty response gave the home
the necessary funds.
Making the announcement that the
institution is now clear of debt Dr.
Boaz said that now thirty-three chill
dren who had sought admittance, but
had heen refused on account of lack
IT money may be taken into the home,
and the opportunity of starting out
with an opportunity in life may be
given them. He said that the home
can now undertake greatly en-
larged work, and can do the great
est of all services for the South by
taking care OF the fatherless, The
audience promised him their continued
support in his efforts to enlarge the
work.
The board Of directors continued all
the officials of the institution, and the
membership OF the board itself, in
tact.
As a token Of thankfulness that the
debt on the home mad been raised, the
audience, with heads uncovered, sang
before going to dinner, the doxology
Praise God From Whom All Bless
ngs Flow"
From the meeting place on the east
steps of the building, the crowd went
down to the tables which had been
spread on the south side of the home
and partook of one of the most bounti
full dinners ever spread in Maury coun
ty. Served picnic fashion, the barbe
cued beef and fried chicken was en-
joyd by the large crowd. Everything
that was ever served at dinner OF
this kind was spread on the tables
and the crowd lost no time in consum
ing the tempting viands. People from
all over the state had brought basket
dinners, which were added to the feast
prepared at the home, and the great
est meal of all-time served. Barbe
cued meat, fried chicken, ham, sand
wiches, cake, chess cake, were but a
few of the dishes that brought joy tc
the multitude. AS members of the
crowd said: "The parable of the
loaves and fishes was repeated"
The meeting was closed after the
dinner. In all respects it was the
most successful of all the annual days
held by the great institution.

erty of the Tennessee Orphans home,
the annual meeting of the directors
and friends of the institution raised
$1,29911 within a few minutes this
morning. The interest was most pro-
nounced, and those attending seemed
glad to contribute to the great cause.
The debt cleared away by the gen
erous action OF the friends of the
institution amounted to $3,S00 on the
farm and $4,000 in borrowed money.
Against this deficit there was on hand
So, 500.S9 making balance of indebt-
edness of $1,299.11. The largest con-
tribution received was for 5000 from
the Russell Street Christian Church,
of Nashville. The contributions Of
500 were given by Mrs. Matte Lon
don, ]. R. Tubb, of Sparta; Mrs. Susie
Hight, w. A. Fox, of Lewisburg. A
large number of $50 donations and
smaller amounts were received.
Over fve hundred people attended
the great rally of the supporters OF
the institution. Enthusiasm and inter
est was at high point during all the
morning, and the climax was reached
when the announcement was made
that the full amount to clear the home

Vile, Lewisburg, Culleoka, Fountain
Creek, Thompson's Station, Franklin,
Lynnville Knoxville, Hampshire, Bry-
ant Station, Carter's Creek, Sparta,
McMinnville, Shelbyville, and War
trace. In addition a number from
other states attended the gathering.
A feature of the day was the report
of Superintendent W. T. Boaz, which
he read before the crowd shortly be-
fore the dinner hour. He reported
that at present there are seventy chill
Iren in the home, and the cost OF
maintenance for each child Is now
s139.20. an increase due to the high
cost of the necessities Of life. He
stated that, when the home was start.
ed six years ago, $1o9 was required,
but prices had so steadily advanced
that more money was now necessary
He said that the per capita cost was
at present the lowest to which it could
possibly be reduced, If the children
continue to be we'll cared for.
DIR. Boaz reported that the property
of the home was now worth S48,31O
at the lowest possible estimate. He
read that the home building is worth
$4,000, and the 275 acre farm, $19,.
250. He said that the $50 tons Of hay
cut from the farm, the lzU IONS OF
ensilage, and the live stock on the
place would bring the amount to $4S,-
SO. DR.. Boaz said that from a small
mass meeting held seven years ago
the project had been started to estab-
lish the home, and contributions began
to be solicited. 1--WE have grown in
the past seven years." said DR.. Boaz,
from nothing to almost $4,000, and
we have a record that is unsurpassed
by any similar institution in the state

building Of the best Christian charac-
ter. | attribute the remarkable sue

support it has received from the en-
tire nation and from three foreign

SOCIALIST CANDIDATE FOR
CONGRESS VISITS ASKOV

j. G. Soltis, socialist candidate
for congress tenth district, was
in Askov Tuesday and spoke be-
fore a small crowd at the town
hall in the evening. Mr.. Soltis
appears to be q we'll posted man
and knows what he Is talking
about. He referred to the three
other parties as the three ami
mails. 1t sounded like a pretty
good joke to us. Republican, the
elephant; democratic, the donkey;
and progressive the bull moose.
The North Branch Review in
commenting upon Mr.. Soltis'
speech which he delivered there
about two weeks ago, said that
he was very handy at singing
profanity and that they didn't
know Of anything else which he
had to run on. In our CONVERSE
ton with Mr.. Soltis he told us
that the editor of the North
Branch Review wasn't even pres
ent at the meeting referred to
and that at North Branch he de-
livered the same talk as in AS
kov. We didn't hear any slang
or profanity here. 1t appears
that the Review editor thinks he
can say anything about a man
after he has left town. Mr.. Sol
It's il of course forceful and uses
strong expressions like most of
the socialist speakers. If they
would be more calm and moder-
ate speaking we believe their
cause would advance faster.
While we do not vote the So
cialist ticket yet we can't help
but admire some of the we'll
educated socialists for the man.
ner in which they stand up and
fight for what they think is
right, regardless of what effect
it has on their business. This is
more than can be said of some re-
publicans and democrats who are
just sliding along with the party
in power as long as their own
hide is protected. Suckers" is
another name for that class. The
socialists are not as yet very
powerful and perhaps never will
be- we shall not try to prephesy
but nevertheless that party has
done some good and is still doing
good. They have awakened a
few and put respect into others.
