WILSON TO URGE
CHILD LABOR LAW
WOULD INCLUDE IN SENATE PRO-
GRAM BILL PROHIBITING THE
TRANSPORTATION OF GOODS.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-President
Wilson went to the capital Tuesday to
emphasize his desire that child labor
law be put on the statute books at the
present session of congress. To sen
ate leaders he insisted that the child
labor bill passed by the house should
be made part of the legislative program
to be put through the senate before
adjournment.
Determined opposition by southern
senators forced the house bill, which
would prevent shipment in interstate
comerce of goods manufactured wholly
or in part by children, out of the i'm
perative program drawn by the dem
ocratic caucus last Saturday. 1t was
left in secondary position to be con
sidered only if time remained after
other measures regarded as more
urgent had been disposed of. Mr.. Viii
son had been told that an effort tC
force it's passage would mean a serious
party revolt.

CHICAGO, July 19.-Henry ]. Nc
Intyre, a crazed negro, believing him
self a prophet who must die to carry
"a message to the Almighty" became
violent here Tuesday, and the result
of his frenzy was a casualty list OF
six dead and three injured. The
negro and his wife we're killed, but
only after more than hundred police
men had besieged his residence fol
more than three hours and had been
forced to resort to dynamite and fire
to end the battle.
Mcintyre, a heavily-built negro and
very black, had been regarded as queer
for years. Some time during the heat
of the July night his mania became
acute He yrote two letters-one or
a sheet of trapping paper and the
other on a piece Of window shade
They were ill-spelled and rambling, but
they made it plain that the negro con
sidered himself a prophet and that he
had to die IN order to take his report
to the Almighty.

NARROW ESCAPE
FROM LIGHTNING

BY A BOLT.

Lon C. Hickman, former postmaster

commissioner of the Fifth district and
John S. Hopkins, the big cattle buyer
from Kentucky, had a narrow escape
from serious injury and probable
death in the severe thunder and rain
storm that ragged in the Culleoka sec

were all in Mr.. Jennett's car and when
the storm rose stopped under a syca-
more tree on the Fountain Valley Farm
of Jos. B. Tomlinson. The tree was
struck by lightning and one side splin.
tered and the lightning then struck a
locust post and completely demolished
It. Aside from the scare and slight
shock the parties suffered no incon-
yenience. But 1t was an experience
that none of them would care to go
through again. The rain to the west
of Cuiieoka almost assumed the pro-
portions Of cloudburst. An enormous
amount OF rain fell In short time and
Fountain creek was far out Of banks.

one FIFI III OF PAIO
POLL TAXES COUNTY
IN SEVENTH DISTRICT
NEARLY 600 HAVE NECESSARY
RECEIPTS IN PHOSPHATE
SECTION.
VOTE WILL EXCEED THE NINTH
Red Hot Race For Constable Between
e. M. Tucker and Charles S. Burns
Is overshadowng all Other Races
In That Neck of Woods.

That is some race for constable
down in the Seventh district. Never
in the history of Mt. Pleasant politics
has there been a warmer contest for a
minor office than that now being
waged between Charles S. Burns and
E. M. Tucker for constable. Burns is
the incumbent. He has had number
of hot races in the past and has al
ways come out first. His friends de-
clare that the contest to be decided
on August will prove no exception.
His opponents, who are behind Mr..
Tucker, are equally certain that this
will not be the case.
Eighteen per cent and fraction of
all of the poll taxes paid in Maury
county have been paid in the Seventh
district The total number paid in
the county is 1898. OF this not less
than 54S have been paid in the sew
enth district The district had in 1910
sixteen per cent of the population,
showing a large excess in poll tax
payments over it's proportion. Two
years ago the Seventh district cast
one-eighth of the vote of the county;
now 1t has practically one-fifth of the
total qualified voters of the county.
These figures show the interest which
the district is taking in the contest for
constable.
Both of the candidates for constable
have had certified copies of the list
of paid poll taxes made. They have
also had certified copies Of all the
registered voters made. They are
making a house to house canvass Of
the voters. Two years ago 1,340 veters
were registered in the district. This
year the number is over 1,400. 1t is
boasted by the residents of Mt. Pleas
ant that for the first time in history
the Seventh district will on August
poll larger vote than the Ninth dis
trict.

TO REGAIN LOST

UNABLE TO MAKE ADVANCE AF
TER BoMBARDMENT WITH
GAS SHELLS.

LONDON, July 19.-With the ex-
ceptien of the region Of Longueval
and south of the Somne at Biaches,
pslative calm prevails on the fighting
front in France.
The British and Germans are en-.
gagged in a sanguinary conflict in the
region Of LongueVal salient, 10 the
northwest of Combles. With the clear
ing of the weather, the Germans have
taken the aggressive here after pre-
liminary bombardment, IN which new
asphyxiating gas shell was used. At
last accounts no decision had been
reached in the battle.
To the south of the Somme the
French have driven out the Germans
from some of the houses they held In
the village. The Germans failed on
Thursday to renew their attack BE-
tween Biaches and La Maisonette, in
which the French inflicted heavy cas-
ualties on them Monday night

FARMERS ARE GIVEN
ADVICE FOR BATTLE
WITH HESS|AN FLY
Al, sTusBLE SHOULD BE PLoWED
UNDER WHEN WHEAT Is
THRESHED.
LATE SOWING is NECESSARY
Nsther Wheat, Rye Nor Barley, Says
The Department of Agriculture,
Should be Sown Until the Latter
Part of October.

Following the unusually severe at.
tack Of Hessian fly in Tennessee in the
fall of 1915, it is both timely and i'm
nortant at this time to lay stress upon
.be necessary mobilization preliminary
TO a fight upon the fly, that an even
more severe loss may not be expert
enced in the 1917 crop, says G. M.
Bentley State Entomologist.
Mr. Bentley and H. X. Bryson, Com
missioner of Agriculture, both agree
that preparedness lays in plowing un-
der the infested stubble as soon as
the wheat is cut, and by discing and
otherwise destroying all volunteer
growths of wheat, barley and rye, and
enlisting the cooperation of every
farmer in the county, community or
state not to SOW a grain of these three
cereals before the 25th of October.
Effective fly control can be gained
in no other way then by this formula,
which is based entirely upon the life
history Of the Hessian fly. 1t is a fact
that nothing can be done to save a
crop of wheat already infested, but
effective steps, as outlined above, can
be taken to prevent a similar loss the
following year.
Many farmers are familiar with the
fly and its history and know how tC
control it, but painstaking effort hal
proven futile because their neighbori
have been Indifferent and needless II
adopting the certain preventive meas
ures as outlined above. OF the wheat
destroying insects, none do injury
comparable to the Hessian fly. It Il
true that on certain years the army
worm or the chinch bug may exact {
heavy toll, but the "fiy" leads them all
with the destruction of one-tenth o
the wheat grown. There are know
cases in the state where as high as g.
per cent loss has been experienced
Many farmers have not harvested two
thirds of a crop this year.
The earliest recorded occurrence o
the Hessian dv in Tennessee is II
1866. Since that date it has scattere'
to all parts of the state, and on Ger
tain years has proven most seriou
pest to the wheat-growing interests
The years of 1876, 1878, 1889, 1905
1919, 1915 and 1916 have been year
Of very serious losses to the whea
farmer in Tennessee.

LITTLE EVIDENCE
OF OPPOSITION TO
LtMUtL P.P PAOGETT
OUTSIDE OF TWO OR THREE
PLACES, THERE WILL BE NO
FIGHT IN COUNTY.
MAJORITY IN MAURt COUNTY
Friends Believe That He VIII Distance
POSTMASTER" Grady Jones by Not
Less Than 1900 in the DimpIe and
Will Double it in District.

If there is to be any organized fight
on Hon. Lemuel P. Padgett in Maury
county outside of one or two places in
the primary two weeks from now that
fact has not become apparent. Out
side of Mt. Pleasant there are no signs
al this time Of an aggressive fight on
the able Seventh district representa-
tive. 1t is expected that there will be
lively opposition at Culleoka and prob
ably also at Santa Fe, due to postoffice
contests, but at other places in the
county and especially in Columbia,
there is every indication that it will
be walk away for Mr.. Padgett.
The strongest fight on the present
member will be made at Mt. Pleasant
as the result of complications there in
the postoffiec contest Mr. Padgett
received big majority at that box in
the primary two years ago, but it is
conceded that this will be very consid
erably reduced on August 8. At a
number of other places, however his
vote will be increased over what II
was in the Turner-Padgett race oi
1914.
Two years ago Mr.. Padgett carried
Maury county by approximately 1,20C
majority. His friends are confident
that on August this will be increased
to not less than $500 and may even
be in excess of that figure. His ma
jority in the district two years age
with light vote, the primary being
held in September, was 1900 1t IL
confidently believed that the majority
will be nearer 5000 this year. 1t Ii
hardly probable that Mr.. Padgett will
be able to make a single speech Of
even to get to the district before the
election.

NOT SINGLE MURDER
CASE ON Dock IS Of
THE CRIMINAL COURT
UNUSUALLY FINE RECORD FOR
THE OBSERVANCE OF
THE LAW.
DECLARES ATTORNEY GENERAL
Attributes Falling of In The Number
Of Homieides to the Rigid Enforce
ment Of the Anti-Liquor Law and
Closing of Dives.

There is not a murder case on the
docket of either of the four counties
of this judicial circuit. This state.
ment was made this morning by At
torney General Horace Frierson, Jr.
Not in all the counties of Maury, Law
renee, Giles and Wayne is there a
single case for murder in the first de-
gree to be tried. This is probably the
first time that this condition has exist
ed in the circuit.
At the recent term Of court the
grand jury Of this county did not re-
turn a single first degree murder in
dictment This is an exceptional rec
ord. Gen. Frierson discussing the
matter this morning, said: "Unques-
tionably as the crime record for minor
offenses improves the murder record
gets better, | have known since |
have been in office as many as five
murder cases on the criminal docket
at one time in Lawrence county. We
have had more than that number on
the docket in Maury county. There
were at the same time murder cases
in Wayne and Giles counties. ! am
glad to say, however, that there is not
a murder case for trial in any Of the
counties.
"The number Of offenses of all
kinds has notably increased in the cir.
cult in recent years, due largely to the
rigid enforcement of the anti-liQuor
laws. The fewer liquor joints we have
the fewer killings we will have. We
all remember that four years ago when
there were so many killings in Co
lumbia majority of them took place
in bootlegging dives. Now there are
no dives here and conditions have i'm
proved in every respect. OF course
there are bootleggers and always will
be, but life is being made SO precarious
for them that they do not dare to open
ly ply their traffic"

Interest was heightened in the con-
test for tax assessor today when
Jesse M. Overton, of the Third district,
announced his withdrawal from the
contest. Mr.. Overton had been con-
sidered from the first one of the fer
midable candidates for this office, hav.
ing strong support at home and max
ing many friends over the county
since he entered the contest
Mr.. Overton finds, however, that he
will be unable to conclude the canvass
because of his health. His physician
has advised him that he should stay
at home. Under the circumstances he
stated that he could not in justice to
himself and his friends continue in the
fight.
In withdrawing from the contest,
Mr.. Overton said:
ut is with much regret that l find
that my health is such that will have
to get out of the contest for tax as
SCISSOR. | will not be able to conclude
the campaign. am positively adj
vised by my physician not to ride any
more, so that I am reluctantly forced
to announce my withdrawal

tend my hearty thanks to the loyal
friends who have sustained me in the
contest. | can never forget their kind
ness to me; their voluntary pledges OF
support and especially do | remember
with gratitude the many friends over
the county who have so Hospitality
entertained me during the campaign.
They have shown me every courtesy
and consideration.
II have no sore toe and nothing but
the kindliest feelings for every one,
no matter whether my supporter or
otherwise. I shall probably at some
future time seek the favor of the peo-
pie OF the county, but whether / do or
not l shall never forget the friends
and acquaintance that ! have made
in the past four or five months"
Mr.. Overton's withdrawal leaves
only Ben Cowley, Walter McCandless

Are You Prepared for Fire?

II fire should break out in your home,
would you and the children become panic
stricken, or have you taught yourself and
them what to do! The fire chief of
Washington, D. c., says that more than
half the fires which occur are the result
of carelessness and ignorance of women
and could soon have been controlled had
the women only been sensible and self
contained If you live in small town
or in an isolated house in the country, it
is more vital that you be prepared for
fire emergencies than II you dwell in the
city, where fire engine could reach you
in few moments. Fire loss affects the
community as well as the individual and
through increased insurance rates it adds
materially to the cost of living.
