Knows Sampson Well

To THE EDITOR OF ADVOCATE:

son for more than thirty years,
and have known his father and
transacted business with him
years ago even before he moved
from Laurel to Knox County.
| want to say to you and the
voters of this district that Elem
d. Sampson is alright, and he
comes from good stock. The
Simpsons are all good Republic
cans too. am for Judge Samp-
son because we have tried him,
and | know he is a friend to the

justice to all men exactly alike

EuilOI MOuilldlIl AuNOCdle.
Barbourville. Ky.
Dear Sir:
understand that 10th
ing definite has been done yet by
the Knox County Fiscal Court
towards letting the contract for
the Dixie Highway through to
Corbin. Would like to inquire
from you the situation as you
see it and prospects of this being
settled soon.
Owing to the fact that Whitley
County, KY, is building from
Corbin to Jellico and that Camp
bell County. Tenn, is building
Jellico to LaFollette, making a
shorter route from Corbin to
Knoxville, and owing to the fact
that Knox County does not seem
to be getting anywhere with
their work on the Dixie High
way, it appears to me that there
is strong danger that the Dixie
Highway Association will be
forced to change the route by
way of Jellico leaving Knox
County and Cumberland Gap out
entirely.
| believe the directors of the
Association prefer to stick to
their original designation where
possible, but it seems to me the
people of your county should
realize the Importance the Dixie
Highway can be to them and
take :some action which would
insure the building of the road.
Believe your paper could
doubtless publish some effective
article along this lime. Would
like to hear from you as to the
situation.
Thanking you in advance, | am
Very truly yours,

will get the ! a Dor vote almost
solid. Men who work in the
mines. at the shops, and on
the farms are for Sampson.
They can trust him as a friend.
The poor man has always had
the same fair treatment in his
courts while he has been our Cir
cult Judge, as the rich and pow
erful. 1t is well known by all
that the poor and needy and un-
fortunate, when brought into
litigation in these tribunals pre-
sided over by Judge Sampson,
are accorded a square deal and
have guaranteed to them fair
consideration. When he is pro-
NOTED to that high position of
Judge of the highest Court in the
state he will be the same and
have the same noble ideals of
right and justice to humanity
under the law. Judge Sampson
always standing for the right
and the up-lift of his community,
is one of Knox County's best
citizens. He is a brilliant law
yer and it is claimed, the best
Circuit Judge this district has
ever had, and he will make a
great Judge on the Appellate
Bench.

POPULATION.

The census of 1901 are the last
figures to be had. at which time
there was reported a population
of 13, COZ, 600: 1870 of which are
classed as white, i. e. of Spanish
descent; $3.50. Indians. repre-
senting a score of tribes: the
other 1870 are mixed blood
Japanese, Chinese, and Plain
Dog. The Constitution of 1924
abolished all race distinctions.
CLIMATE.
Tropical, sub-tropical; hot days
and nights on the coasts, hot
days and freezing nights in the
mountains. Rainy season, May
to October; dry season, balance
of the year. The costal plains
are unhealthful, yellow fever,
malaria and dysentary being pre-
valent. The high attitudes,
while arid, are healthful under
proper hygienic conditions.
Mountain peaks rise to height
of Is, 600 feet. Incidentally, the
aspirations of most of the people
do not reach such heights-rather
point the other direction.
FOREIGN TRADE.
The last authentic figures OBJ
tainable are of 1907. The i'm
ports, valued in United States
gold. amounted to Sill, 235, 600;
exports, $l23,5l5.OO0, one-half
of the latter being precious
metals. Both imports and ex-
ports have dwindled greatly
since 1909 on account of distur-
bed conditions.
The best available authority is
the statement of the President
of Mexico. who, in April. 1909,
stated that there were IA, 1857
miles of railroad in Mexico,
IL, 1851 miles of which being con-
trolled by the Government.
DEBT.
There is an exterior debt in
Mexico of about $3.50, 600, 600,
with the interest now in default.
There is an interior debt, payable
in silver currency, of about
SIS, 600, 900 tour money! with
some accumulated interest. The
bulk of the exterior debt is held
by England and France. With
a stable government set up. this
would probably shift to us.

of 1,SI/iles is an undertaking.
In January, 1876, we went into

There was room for argument
then as to the righteousness of
our cause. Now. the whole
world knows that we are taking
hold of an intolerable situation.

long mileage and general saving in ini-
tial as well rs service costs.
The running surface of the tire con-
sists of elastic projections. which are
provided with removable metallic caps,
giving the tire an absolute anti-skidding
means.
AS the inner diameter of the metallic
cap is less than the outside diameter OF
the projections. tho caps are firmly held
on the projections by the latter's ex-
psnsivity.
As soon as the caps are worn out,
they can be replaced with new ones by
means of very, simple tool
The area of the running surface Of the
tire is covered by about so per cent with
metal. therefore, the tire IL in 30 per
cent safe from puncture.
AS the tire runs exclusively on the
metallic caps. the rubber of the tire is
entirely preserved. giving the tire more
life and service over 1000 to 1900
