INCOMPRENENSIBLE ACT.

Probably the most sensational
event ever chronicled in oul
news columns appears elsewhere
regarding the seizure of whiskey
from the store of a South Pitts
burg merchant, who is also prom
inent in the affairs of the county,
and who it seems must have beer
deluded in some insane manner
when he allowed his place OF
business to become a repository
for the accursed stuff. This gen.
tleman has been honored with
four offices in Marion county,
all positions of trust, and where
his ability to serve the citizens
we'll was very great. He is re-
corder in his home city and has
prosecuted law violators vigor-
ously. He is a member of the
County Court and while he did
not coincide fully with the views
of a number of the citizens of the
county, still he had a right to
those opinions personally, wheth-
er he considered the rights of the
citizens or not. He is also men,
Der of the high school board, an
other position of trust. And
lastly, he is a member OF the
board of election commissioners,
men with abundant power in
their hands to work good or evil.
That man holding all these high
Offices, should at one fell swoop.
sink to such an ignoble level as
to be found to have whiskey in
his possession over and above the
amount allowed by law for pri-
vate use is incomprehensible, and
the friends of Mr.. McReynolds,
who are many in this county,
have not as yet fully recovered
from the shock. 1t is especially
incomprehensible that he should
engage in the distribution of Ii
quor, if he did, especially since
he has waged such a fierce war
on the negro bootleggers of his
town.
There is a general call over the
county that the custer law be in
voked to remove him from office,
and some go so far as even to
say that if ten men cannot be |
found in South Pittsburg to start |
the necessary proceedings that |
the city will be disgraced. This
is a hard thing to say, but custer
proceedings have been instituted
for even less glazing ofenses.
The News deeply regrets the
difficulties into which Mr.. Nc
Reynolds has fallen. We have
regardt dly him highly, outside of
some differences OF opinion over
which we mutually disagreed,
out it is an eternal law that the
way of the transgressor is hard.
Mr.. McReyntlds may have been
hoodwinked into allowing this
to be placed in his place
If business in an effort to help
another party. Let US hope it
vas so and that he did not will
ngly and wilfully become party
O the distribution of whiskey,
whether for campaign purposes
IF not. Let us hope that it is
ather The scheming Of another
, an which has brought this trou-
lie upon him rather than his own
deliberate act.

INTERESTING READING.

forwarded US, and a number
have requested publication. II
is a little late to do so. as it was
evidently intended for pre-elec.

esting and worthy of preserva-
ton in the public prints. II
bears out a claim that the News
has made all along.
So. Pittsburg, Tenn. Nov.1, 1916
Mr.. C. Ruef,
Sewanee, Tenn.
| Dear Sir:
| want to write you a con-
fidential letter relative to the
race between w. M. Cameron
and W. H. Wilson for Pictorial
Representative from Marion
and Franklin Counties. What
l have to say about this matter
will be said in the strictest. con-
fidence and l want you to treat
it so.
In the first place we are trying
to build the Dixie Highway thru
Marion County and connect with
your line of said road near Sewa-
nee. We cannot build this road
and make it passable the year
round with the money we have
and it will be impossible for us
to get the money necessary to
finish this road if Mr.. Cameron
is elected. No matter what he
may tell you he will not help us
in any way to get the money.
He is absolutely pledged to sub
nit all questions to vote of the
people. Practically all of the
non taxpayers and small taxpay-
ers are opposed to road building
and will vote against any propo-
sition to raise money for road con-
struction.
This road will be worth more
to Sewanee than anything that
has come your way for years and
you will have the money to build
your roads. Most of the votes
that Mr.. Cameron will get in this
county will be on account of his
present opposition to road bonds.
Were it not for this Wilson in my
opinion eat him up here. AS the
matter now stands l think Mr..
Cameron will carry this county.
Do you think the Sewanee peo-
pie will vote for a man whose
election means the abandonment
of the Dixie highway through Sc
vance? | am great advocate
of the Dixie highway and I am
hoping that Mr.. Wilson will be
elected so as to remove all doubt
as to it's location permanently.
From this point of view which is
a plain statement IF fats, there
seems to be only one sensible
course for the Sewanee people and
that is to elect man favorable ,
to the Dixie highway. Don't you
think so?
| am told that Judge Lynch is {
fighting Wilson and supporting
Cameron, if this is true, and |
have it from a reliable source, ,
Mr.. Lynch will have the fight of {
MS life two years from now to l
hold his present job. c
Mr.. Cameron is such a bitter f
Democrat and had Haunted his |
Democracy in the face of the re-
5ublic and SO much that he will t
lot get many Republican votes in /
his county outside Of the ones v
mad about the road bonds issued t
lnder the enabling act passed h
Trough the legislature by Mr.. f
wilson. d
Mr.. Cameron fought me for O
Jounty Superintendent two years t,
go and is trying to injure Mr..
wilson with the Democrats be-
ause he voted for me in the D
,ounty court. Of course this c;
1akes me feel kindly towards n
1r. Wilson and my republican G;
riends here share in this feeling. NJ
However, as a matter of bust G.
ess, we should elect Mr.. Wilson V
nd hope you will join us in this. c. g

NAVY NOT TO RACE
THE POTOMAC CREW

The scheduled race between the Po-
tomac Boat Club picked eight-oared crew
and a picked eight from the Naval
Academy that was to have been rowed
next Saturday afternoon has been called
of by the athletic authorities at Annapo-
lis.
The reason given by the Navy men is
that such a race at this time is out of
season and as all arrangements by the
Potomacs had been made with Coach
Glendon and the manager of crews at
the academy, the action of the athletic
committee is deeply regretted by the
Potomac crew.
Coach Hecox had greatly strengthened
his senior eight of Labor Day and they
had been making an excellent showing
in their preparations for Saturdays race.
The crew started training ten days ago
for this event and the men feel that they
were not given square deal by the
navy athletic committee In not notifying
them of the cancellation of the race at an
earlier date.

G. HERBERT MAY BE
REFEREE OF MATCH

George Herbert, the lightweight cham
plon wrestler of the South, from Rich
mond. Va, will no doubt be obtained by
Promoter Billy Hagen to referee the bout
Thursday night between Joe Turner, the
worlds middle-weight champion, and
Harry Swoboda, the Western marvel. at
the Lyceum Theater.
Turner defeated Swoboda last week at
the Avenue playhouse, but he claimed
that he was given the worst of the de-
cision by the referee and asked for a
return match, providing another mat Of
fetal could be obtained. Hagen is dick
ering with Herbert to handle this contest
and If the deal is closed, Herbert will not
only referee the bout, but may be seen
in action in a match with Johnny Cum
ninghahm. the lOca! lightweight grappler.

PLAYERS FRATERNITY
BEGINNING TO Stir
Fultz Ready to Make Big Kick at
Association Meeting.

New York, Oct. T.-Dave Fultz and all
the rest of the baseball gang are tearing
around New York today emitting howls
just like they had something to do with
the decisions of the National Commits
sion. Dave and the rest of them are sat
isf1ed there is something radically wrong
with the way the world series is con-
Quoted and they're fiinging suggestions
for its next stand with little regard for
the bystander.
Fultz, president Of the Baseball Players
Fraternity. managed to have something
70 say about the players when he vaz
asked how many games he thought should
be included in a word series, and handed
out the tip that he is getting ready to
kick, and kick hard, when the National
Association holds its annual meeting.
November 10, in New Orleans. Fultz said
he Is tired OF the way the minor leagues
have been run and he proposes to put q
stop to II. He says he has four demands
and a hunch. The demands are for the
betterment Of the game and the hunch
Is that they will be granted.
The rest of baseball topughts can zee
q dismal future for baseball unless the
world series Is quickly changed and the
huge sums which go to players cut down.
Also, some of them seem to think too
much is charged the public for the priv
llege OF watching the big encounters.
Ban Johnson started it when he got
the Idea that he was going to stick his
fingers in and change things all around
Considering that this is one Of the best
things Johnson does, it must be admitted
the world series is facing a shaky future.
Bap says he doesn't like high prices and
such stun, but he didn't say that he had
worn his voice out trying to stave them
on in the series just slowed away. He
did intimate, however, that he is consid-
sring a protest before he allows such a
thing next year.
Johnson and Arthur Irwin. who Is busi-
ness manager Of the Toronto Interna-
tpnal League Club are about the only
oses who have voiced any hearty opin-
Mons. The club owners are keeping their
secrets Fultz says he has some ideas,
but he isn't going to pass them out right
now.
