CHAUTAUQUA BE-
GINS TOMORROW
Woman's Club Has Completed All
Arrangements and Splendid Pro-
gram Starts Wednesday.

With the arrival of the large tent
and its placement on the lot in the
rear of the College building, today,
everything will be in readiness for
the opening of Stanford's First An
nual Chautau1ua tomorrow, We'd
nesday.
The members of the Woman's
Club, in charge of local arrange
ments, have worked increasingly.
They deserve the greatest credit for
what they have accomplished in the
face of the greatest difficulties.
They made an advance sale of tic
kets, which almost covers the full
cost of this great enterprise and en-
tertainment. They have advertised
it well. Seven automobiles loaded
with local ladies, and decorated with
Chautauqua pennants and flags, made
circle tour of Hustonville, Dan
vile, Lancaster, and Crab Orchard
Saturday afternoon, and saw to it
that no stone was left unturned in
advertising the fact that Stanford is
going to offer a great attraction to
her neighbor cities this week.
DIR. w. ]. Mahoney, said to be an
attractive speaker and ideal Chau-
tauquaman will be here today to
have active charge of arrangements
and the program during the week.
The Woman's Club has made ar
rangements for a rest room for the
ladies and children, who attend the
Chautauqua. A portion of the col
lege building, close to the Chautau-
qua tent, has been secured and all
the conveniences needed will be pro-
vided. A maid will look after the
wants of all who visit it. People who
live in the country and who want 20
attend afternoon and evening ses-
sions of the Chautauqua can bring
lunches with them and eat them in
the rest room, if they desire.

Bilious Attacks

When you have a bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its funct-
ions. You become constipated. The
food you eat ferments in your stom-
ach instead of digesting. This in
flames the stomach and causes
nausea, vomiting and terrible head
ache. Take Chamberlain's Tablets.
They will tone up your liver, clean
out your stomach and you will soon
be as well as ever. They only cost
a quarter. Obtainable everywhere.

for service and that its companies
are all well equipped.
General Williams said that the
present strength of the Kentucky
National Guard is about 1920, but
that he did not believe that the Ken
lucky troops would be ordered from
their mobilization camp to the front
until their strength had been re-
cruited up to four or five thousand.
He said that would mean that the
troops would be in camp, becoming
hardened to camp conditions for six
ty or ninety days.
The Washington order calling out
the Kentucky brigade, National
Guard, specified Fit. Thomas as place
of mobilization, or 'such other point
as the commander of the Department
Of the East may Designate" After a
conference Adjutant General Ellis
wired the War Department asking
that Darlington be substituted for
Fl. Thomas because of its geographi-
cal position and the larger space.
The order from Washington re-
quires that companies be modified
at peace strength, sixty-fve men,
and that they can be recruited up
to war strength Of $50 men. Adju-
tant Genral Ellis sent message to
Washington asking whether the mill
tia should be modified under the
existing contract or whether men
should first be re-enlisted under the
new law.
Pershing Taking Every Precaution.
Columbus, N. NJ, June 20.-Gen.
Pershing is taking every precaution
to prevent a clash with Carranza
troops being precipitated by some
trivial incident, according to reports
from the field yesterday. Detach-
ments which for the past few weeks
have been operating within a few
miles of the camps of the troops of
the de facto government, have been
withdrawn, while scouting patrols
have been given orders to ride their
territory with extreme caution. All
of the soldiers of the American COM
mand have been warned to exercise
great care in distinguishing bandits
from Mexican soldiers.

MOVEMENT
GROWING
Majority Of Men
Oppose a Strike.
Over 5000 Employees on the N. C. 6
St. | Ryr Sign Petition to
Congress.
Brotherhood Men, in Same Territory,
Number Less Than 1,5O0...Peti-
ton Request Action to Pre-
vent Threatened Strike.

Nashville, Tenn, August 7.-More
than 5000 employees on the N, C, & st.
L, Railway have signed a petition to be
presented to Congress asking that de-
cisive legislation be enacted to prevent
threatened tie-up of transportation
and the causing of suffering and loss to
the great majority Of railway employees
who do not want strike.
The movement among the non-broth
hood employees is spreading to other
lines, and indications are that it will as
sumo nationwide proportions. The
action of the men on the n. & G. shows
that the great majority of men in rail
road service do not want strike. This
is demonstrated by the fact that within
four DAYS more than 5000 employees had
sighed the petition Of protest over the
same territory in which the brother
hoods have less than 800 mem bers. 1t
is pointed out in the petition that less
than 90 per cent OF railway employees
(the brotherhood mem should not be
permitted to throw out of work the ma
iority of employees Tor the non-brother-
hood mem. 1t is also pointed out that
the brotherhood men, who are threaten
ing to paralyze commerce in the country
to gain increased wages, are at present
among the highes paid workmen in the
country, and that by insisting on fur
ther advances they are preventing the
representatives of the so per cent of
men engaged in railroad service from
their chances of earning more money,
and at the same time throwing them
out of work while their own demands
are being pressed.
Manufactures all over the country
are also beginning to wake up to some
facts. Most of manufacturing plants
are constructed so that no provision is
made for large storage of raw materials
or of finished products, and they are de-
pendent upon the movement OF their
goods daily. If the strike is called,
then the manufacturing plants can only
work up what stocks are on hand and
their employees will have to sit idly by
until the strike is settled, altho they
have no part in the controversy. Busi-
ness men generally see the widespread
dangerto other industries dependent up
on railroads for their operation, and
these are some of the facts that are be-
ginning to cause reasons why there is
almost a universal demand for fair
and just arbitration

WHISKEY FOUND.

A large quantity OF whiskey was
found near Dunlap Friday evening by
Officers Joe Heard, Turner, and g. w.
Smith. The whiskey is said to be wild
cat" 1t is supposed to have been hid
by parties returning to this city from
Chattanooga. The officers are to be
congratulated for their success in se-
curing this booze, and it is to be hoped
that the guilty parties will be brought
to justice, and that the full penalty OF
the law will be imposed upon them.
1t is regretable fact that Dunlap
has within her borders men who will
engage in the nefarious and outlawed
business of bootlegging, when they are
able, mentally and physically, to make
living at some honest!a
The citizens of Dunlap are thorough
ly aroused over the condition Of affairs
here and are determined that this inn
moral traffic shall be stopped and the
guilty parties punished.

PROSPEROUS INDUSTRY.

Among its many claims to dis
tinction California boasts of being
the home of the lima bean, and in
Ventura county that industry is
becoming most prosperous.
About $4,000 acres are under
cultivation. and the fact that the
beans bring in such remunerative
prices in enriching that favored
section. In 1912, 1,235.0 600 bags
of these beans were produced in
the counties of Ventura, Los
Angeles, Santa Barbara, San
Diego, and Orange.
Formerly, when the industry
wasyoung and methods of market
ing unknown, these beans sold
for $1.35 the bag; but at the
present time, and under an
organization of the lima bean
growers, they sell for So per 100
pounds. An ex-Memphian, who
went to that section not long ago.
received 81, 900 for his bean crop,
which was raised on a farm of
130 acres. Lima beans are culti-
waited in other sections of the
country, but they are more or less
garden ornaments, and must be
held up by poles or some sort of
frame work. In California the
beans are planted or sowed in
drills, and between these drills
the land is cultivated until the
vines begin to spread, when they
soon cover the ground in matlike
form. After that no more can
be done on them. The rainless
summers enable the beans to
mature without rotting, as is the
case in other sections, where they
must be held above the ground.
They are harvested by machinery,
threshed and sacked by machine
ry, and marketed by the most
economical methods, One ex-
ceptional thing about the lima
bean, which characteristic of all
legumes, is that instead of being
a tax upon the land it fertilizes
the soil upon which it is raised,
and every year the land becomes
more productive and crops more
profitable. Lima beans could be
raised in some parts of Tenness-
ee and the surrounding country,
and the crops would be profitable
if only plowed under and used as
a fertilizer. The lima bean stalk
absorbs a wonderful amount of
oxygen from the atmosphere
which it discharges thru it's roots
into the ground, thus enriching
the soil. News Scimitar.

A. R. PRYOR TO BUILD
EXTENSIVE GARAGE.

Jasper, Tenn, Aug. 5.-A. r.
Pryor, of Jasper, will build a very
large garage and machine shop
in Jasper, one mile south of his
present location. He has pur-
chased lots on site of fire last fall,
paying therefor a fancy price,
but they are very centrally To-
Gated. He will erect thereon a
large building with every con-
venience that electricity can give.
The building will be constructed
on the Kahn system of steel
frame and reinforced concrete.
Besides garage equipment it will
contain a complete machine shop
for the repair of any class of
machinery. At present Mr..
Pryor handles a very wide range
of work from brazing and Welding
on up to the most precise machine
work. Another department makes
a speciality of repairing tires by
the vulcanlzlng process. A third
department specializes the repair
and recharging of storage batter
les. Mr.. Pryor has fine corps
of workmen, and being Of great
natural genius himself in mechan-
les, no job gets a turn down from
the Pryor shop that could be done
anywhere. At present the Pryor
shops are located one mile north
of Jasper, but will begin in the
near future on the new fire proof
buildings and when finished re-
moval will be made to them.
