Farmer L. M. Rhodes Giuen Empty
Honor of Nominee for Congress-

The Republican congressional
convention held in Lexington on
the 17th inst, resulted in the unan-
imous nomination Of L. M. Rhodes,
president Of the Farmers Union in
Tennessee and a resident of Carroll
county. President Rhodes had just
the week before declined the emp
ty homer before it was offered to
him.
The nomination Of President
Rhodes was not contested because
Of the fact that the honor is an
empty one-otherwise such busy
men as Judge 7. A. Lancaster, W.
H. Lancaster Of Lexington. George
7. Mccall Of Huntingdon, would
have been promptly on hand car
rying the sign "Barkis is willin'".
We understand that Mr.. Rhodes
has until September 25th to accept
or to reject the nomination. and in
the meantime a new president Of

Mr.. Rhodes is a pretty good man,
one who has developed himself
since he took up the work Of the
Farmers Union, in which he has
been success.
He could not, however. if elected
to congress attempt to do anything
for the farmer or any other labor
ing class, that Mr.. Sims has not
already supported. Hence, we take
it that if Mr.. Rhodes runs, it will be
on the promise Of devising some

1t was at first rumored in Lex
ington that Hobart, son of John w.
Darden, was either killed or in
iured, but the report was soon dis
proven. Of those killed or injured
none were known or connected in
Lexington.
The shock of the explosion was
so great tina. it was felt all over the
city and thought by many to have
been an earthquake; in fact, the ex-
plosion was heard ten miles from
the city.
The accident, which was perhaps
the greatest in the loss of life that
Jackson has ever had, attracted
much attention, and brought all
possible help to rescue the bodies
of the lost and to assist in the re-
moval and care Of the injured.

WARNING ISSUED
ABOUT PARALYSIS

DR.. M. M. Pearson, city physician
Of Bristol, Tenn, has issued a warn
ing against the possibility Of a local
empidemic Of infantile paralysis.
He is of the opinion that Southern
people generally are not sufficiently
impressed with the danger Of the
situation. He tells of cases Of the
disease that have developed in
Bristol in recent years, and on one
occasion he brought before the To-
cal medical society a small girl that
had recovered from the disease, but
who was paralyzed in one limb as d
result. DR.. Pearson thinks that
every possible precaution should be
taken.-Nashville Banner.
All right-but if learned doc tors
of New York know nothing Of in
fantile paralysis, its origin, or how
to successfully treat the disease,
how are the common herd" going
to take any precautions against
it?

SAFETY LINES ON
ALL PLATFORMS

In accordance with recommended
tons Of the central safety commit
tee Of the N. c. & St. l. Railway,
the management has just issued in
structions that a safety line" be
painted on all station platforms.
The public will be asked to CO.
operate with the road in its safety
campaign.
These lines will be painted in
yellow (the caution color and will
be placed six feet from the nearest
rail. 1t is the purpose of the com.
pany in placing these lines on plat
forms to protect the public from
possible accidents as trains pull
into stations. Instances have been
reported where baggage and ex-
press trucks have shifted and have
been struck by incoming locomo-
tives, and with platform crowded
with passengers such an accident
might result in serious injury un-
less the passengers were back a
safe distance.
The safety line will be three in
ches wide and stenciled at inter-
walls Of from ten to twenty feet will
be the words safety line"
The N. C. & St L. Railway
through its safety department is
seeking to reduce to a minimum
all avoidable accidents, and the
management believes that with the
proper cooperation on the part Of
the public the placing Of the safety
lines" OH platforms will prevent ac-
cidents at stations.

CONGRESSMAN
THETUS w. SIMS

Again the voters in the Eighth
congressional district have shown
that they are satisfied with Thetus
W. Sims as their congressional rep
resentative. For the eleventh time
they have thus spoken out through
the ballot box. And, it is predic-
ted that next March when he en-
tiers upon his eleventh term, it will
be his banner term. The great
change in condition all over the
world will necessitate up-to-date
legislation to cope with them, and
Mr.. Sims with twenty years ex-
perience and familiarity with fed
eral affairs is thoroughly equipped
to hold up this end of the contin-
gency.
He has served for these twenty
years with an ability that might,
with no exaggeration, be called con-
spicuous, and there is nothing that
he has done that can or has been
criticized. He has been and is now
serving as the ranking member of
the highest committee in congress.
What else could the people of this
district ask for in superior commen-
datiOn?
Mr.. Sims is gentleman of cul-
ture and intelligence beyond the
average congressman, and his per-
sonal character is without reproach.
He is one of the best known men
in public life in this state, and he
also has a reputation all over the
country, as during his career in
Washington he has accomplished
much for his country and also for
his constituents in Tennessee. He
is a close student Of government
affairs, and has propoposed a num-
Der Of laws which have met with
the approval Of the public.
Mr.. Sims has been clean and
careful in his attention to the pub
lie interests in general, and the
people Of his district should sup
port him without reluctance and
give him renewed lease on official
life as an incentive in combating
the affairs that will come up dur
ing the eleventh term of his service.

short time. but the boys are soon
back at the same old tricks.
Superintendent c. H. Anderson
Of the safety work has conceived
the idea that a direct appeal to the
parents or guardians Of such offen-
ders will bring results and believes
that by citing specific cases, such
as the two accidents above refer
red to, that he will get results.
Train hopping" is dangerous to
erown-ups; in fact, nobody except
the train crews has any business
on a freight train, and the N. c. &
S, L. is endeavoring to secure the
cooperation Of the public in its ef-
forts to reduce the number Of avoid
able accidents.
See that your boy does not en-
gage in the dangerous practice.

COL. ROSAMON
DIES SUDDENLY

From the Jackson Sun of last
Sunday we get notice Of the death
of Col. j. W. Rosaman, who was
first president Of the West Tennes-
see Farmers Institute, which owes
its birth to the late Col Robert
Gates.
Col. John W. Roseman, for many
years president of the West Tennes-
see Farmers Institute, for forty
years a member Of the board Of
trustees Of Union University and a
man who was well known and
highly respected in Jackson, died
at his home in Gadsden, Tenn, Fri
day night at 10 o'clock after a brief
illness.
He was IS years Of age and is
survived by his wife and six chill
dren, all Of whom are grown.
Colonel Rosaman, together with
several other prominent farmers,
organized the West Tennessee Far
mers Institute in Jackson-an or
ganization that has been Of inn
mense value to the agricultural in
terests Of this rection of the state.
Colonel Rosamon was elected its
first president and served for a
number Of years in that position.
He could have been holding the
position till his death had he so de-
sired.
For forty years he was a mem
Der of the board of trustees Of
Union University and his attend
ance upon its sessions was quite
remarkable. he having missed only
one meeting in twenty years, He
was prominent in Baptist church
work in West Tennessee and served
in various capacities in the organ

He served as Asst. Commission
er Of Agriculture a number Of years.
Colonel Rosamon had been in
fairly good health till a short time
ago when he contracted kidney
trouble. He was taken very i'll

night"
We can add in sincerity and in
the memory Of big-hearted Colonel
Rosamon, that hundreds Of farmers
who had met him in his work for
so many years in the annual d.
vision institute at Jackson, ought to
have been notified Of his death
and invited to attend his funeral.
