IN THIS COUNTY.

The vote cast in this county was the
1897. The heaviest vote previous to
this was 1,485. Th9 voting was very
much along party lines and nowhere IN
the county was there much cross vot-
ing. AT The Crossviile precinct there
were more mixed tickets than at any
ether precinct IN the county.
A. l.. Garrison for state senate ran a
few votes ahead OF the ticket, while
all other candidates fell .more than 100
votes behind the head of the ticket, on
the democratic side and few votes be-
hind on the republican side. Contrary
to expectations, Enloe for railroad
commissioner did not los, many votes.
1t was predicted at one time that he
would not get $50 votes in the county,
hut the vote shows he ran only about
so votes behind the other candidates,
excepting the head OF the ticket.
Following is the vote in this county
by precinct:

500 democratic; he won by 80 votes.
This tioterIal district usually goes re-
publican by 30 to so votes and the vic
tory this time for Mr.. NorvelI is far in
excess of anything ever before given
any candidate.

VERY HOPEFUL FOR u. S.

When one considers that, broadly
speaking, the agriculture of the United
States IS on live stock rather than q
graIn-growing basis, and that the dair.
les. creameries, cheese factories ano
packing plants rather than the cash
grain crops are representative of the
! typical American farm of today, he is
led to believe that the situation from
the standpoint of the American farmer
Is an exceedingly hopeful one and that
this great industry with It's annual
business overturn of nearly ten billion
dollars is due to an era of expansion
that will be reflected in the better
equipment for the farms, the erection
of better farm homes, the develop
ment of still better live stock, the
building of roads and schools, and all
that goes to make country life whole
some.
In this connection the reader should
not forget that while the farmer is
ordinarily thought Of as producer he
represents 40 per cent of the popula-
ton of the country and quite as great
a relative buying or consuming power.

BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR THIS
SECTION.
(This presents a most encouraging
outlook for the plateau farmer. The
great abundance of cheap lands and
free range that may be had here
should, and doubtless will, induce
many people 20 come to this section,
secure cheap ONES and develop farms
along the NO. improved lines OF live
stock p1oduc ION.
When it Is remembered that no
where in the United States is there so
large an area of cheap lands for both
grazing and farming as is found IN the
Cum berland Plateau regIon-and Cum
berland county is IN the heart OF It I
it Is easy to see why homeseekers and !
live stock men should turn with eager /
steps to this section.
This vast undeyeloped region of sew
elal millions Of acres has long laid dor
mant anu it now requires no great
amount OF credullty to believe that the
Awakening is near at hand, and that it
Will come at time when most other
parts of the world will be suffering
from slack business conditions and
come in such way as to make this
me of the most favored sections or the
world. Editor ChronicIe)

JUDGE CORDELL HULL ELECTED

Judge Cordell Hull was reelected
from this fourth district for congress
by handsome majority. In this coun-
ty he received the largest vote of any
democrat on the ticket, even running
ahead of President Wilson and Gov.
Rye. Judge Hull is held IN such high
esteem by the people of TINS county as
a whole that he. always receives a very
large vote. But for the difference In
the democratic and republican parties
on the tariff question Judge HUI
would come close to carrying the coun-
ty over almost any opponent ne is like
lY to have.

GOV. RYE ENDORSED.

The victory tor Gov. Rye was de-
served one as he stood for the enforce
ment of the laws as he advocated on
the stump previous to his election.
Crump and his crowd knitted Rye in
Memphis and Shelby county so that he
only had majority of 1000. The
silence of Mr.. Overall as to his atti-
tude on the whlskey question doubtless
caused him to lose some votes.
LITTLETON DEFEATED.
Judge Moon defeated Jesse LIttleton
for congress in the Third district by a
few hundred votes. Mr.. Littleton
Is now mayor of Chattanooga and will
so remain instead of going to congress.
His defeat was very gratifying TO
many republicans as well as democrats
for he has stood for whiskey and
fought the republican party in the
state under Gov. Ben W. Hooper at the
time when it was most IN need of aid
and encouragement.

The Sherman law was enacted by the concur
ring votes of both parties in Congress, and met
with the approval of the entire country. Every
one thought that it would at once break up the
trusts No expectation was ever more rudely dis
appointed. From the very start the courts treat
ed the new law almost with derision. Proceed
ings were begun against the Whiskey Trust and
the Sugar Trust soon after the law was passed.
The Whiskey Trust the subject of several
decisions of the lower Federal courts. These de-
cisions were all in favor of the trust and treated
the new Sherman law if it did not exist.
worse situation arose in the Sugar Trust
prosecution. The lower Federal courts and the
United States Supreme Court dismissed the case
against the Sugar Trust, and for the time being
converted the new law into nullity. 1t was
looked upon with contempt by all the trust man
ayers. The iniquity of the Sugar trust was so
manifest, and its powerful control of the industry
so undsputed, that the country amazed upon
learning the Supreme Courts decision that the
new Sherman law did not apply to it. If it did
not apply to such a fragrant example of a trust,
of what use was it at all? The subsequent history
Sugar Trust decision was most disastrous 1t de-
layed the correct Interpretation of the Sherman
law for many years and gave encouragement to
the trusts then existing and also encouraged the
financial interests of the country to form new
trusts upon an unprecedented scale. If that case
had been decided the lines the Tobac-
co trust and Standard Oil cases were decided in
of this country would have been brought to an end
years ago 1t has often been claimed that the
governments side of the Sugar Trust case was
never properly presented. Indeed, some have as
serted that the prosecution was tampered with

the government proved to be man of pronounced
ly bad character, nasmuch he few years
later convicted and sentenced to prison as coun-
.terfeiter.
In all the later cases against other trusts the
Sugar Trust decision always held up as a
defense, and in many instances successfully.

The Menace of Revolution.

II rated seven southern States had
withdrawn from the Union. and
revolution was upon the country.
The southern leaders of the extreme
school of state rights and the doctrine
Of the Dred Scott case had consciously.
avowedly staked everything upon the
election. and accepted the result as
conclusive OF what sen-respect and politi-
cal exigency demanded of them.
They looked upon this coming into
power of the men of a minority which
had set itself to check slavery and to
shut the slave-holding States in. In
order that they might be thrust from
their place in the politics of the
nation, as a thing fatal to the very
principles of the partnership formed
in those first days when the const-
tuition had been framed. and accepted
as a pledge of equality between the
States.
The Republican party had. indeed.
always and with all proper emphasis
disavowed any wish or intention to
lay any hand of molestation or change
upon the domestic institutions of the
South itself
The anti-slavery men who were abo-
Iitionists were little more numerous in
1860 than they had been in ls4o. and
those who spoke for the Republicans
vehemently disclaimed all alliance or
sympathy with them.
But, though they did not mean TO
lay the axe to the root of the tree,
the partisans of Mr.. Lincoln did mean
to grid II about and let IL die where II
stood, as one of the senators from
Louisiana passionately told them.
They meant by law and force TO keep
slavery from getting any growth or
outlet whatever.
They meant also to nullify IL they
could not repeal. the laws whose adoption
the constitution commanded for the
apprehension and return of runaway
slaves. and put the whole system of
slavery, SO far as they might with
in the formal limits of the fundamen-
tai law. beyond the recognition or
countenance of federal statute
Their creed and their actions alike
were compounded of hostility toward
the South; and the challenge of their
success was direct and unmistskable.

Cotton and Explosives.

If 100000 bales of cotton were used last year
in the manufacture Of explosives, 100000 in this
country, and the rest in Europe, fear that even
declaration of war by Hoke Smith against Great
Britain would not deter the latter from interfer-
ing as much as possible with the product of
Georgia on its way to Germany. There is as much
reason now for putting cotton the contraband
list as there was in the days of black powder for
putting saltpeter on. The allies were singuIarly
slow in prescribing the basis of guncotton, and a
year ago cotton was being rushed into Germany
at great rate, but it is too much to expect now
that the allies would look with equanimity upon
German imports OF cattou.-Phuadephia Record

Deadlock With Germany.

Authoritative advices contained in cable dis
patches from Berlin, which substantially con-
hrmed in Washington, to the effect that a
single word of seven letters stands in the way Of
complete understanding and accord between the
United States and Germany. The information has
been permitted by the administration to reach the
public in the last few days that the prolonged
negotiations over the destruction OF the Lusitana
to this government. But now comes the rcvcla-
ton OF a formidable obstacle placed in the way
OF agreement by Germany's absolute refusal to
admit that the sinking of the Lusitania and the
murder OF us Americans was illegal" Represent
ed willing to pay indemnity for the lives sacri-
feed, Germany persists in her attitude OF holding
the deed justified. Manifcsty it is impossible for
the United States to give its sanction to the pay
ment Of indemnity by nation for the results of
a course of action which it insists within its
rights and not illegal The situation between the
two nations therefore becomes tense again. This
government yield more, and if it is true,
as the dispatches intimate, that Berlin has come
to final halt at illegal" the outcome cannot be
conjectured.
This balancing of words in the scale against
the lives of our citizens is not an inspiring pro-
cedure If illegal will satisfy this government
and end the contentious arising from the killing
Of our men, women and children Germany will, if
she is sincere and places any value friend
ship hasten to write it. 1t is little enough In
demnty has mean and sordid sound, at best,
when we are asked to consider it as descriptive
Of process of atonement for the lives of the Lusi-
tanias victims 1t becomes hateful and repulsive
when it describes money to be grudgingly paid
by nation that refuses to admit that the murder
of Americans is illegal. There can be no repara-
ton by Germany that is not accompanied by plea
of guilty Our government could not ask less and
if Germany persists in her REFUSAL we shall have
to recognize crisis quite as acute that which
was brought about by the dispatch of the first
note after the destruction of the Lusitania
President Wilson knows at last as the result OF
his personal conferences with the people, where
they stand on the question OF Americas rights
and honor, and he will not square accounts with
Germany by further concessions. He has said that
the country is far from prepared for war with any
pcwer and actual hostilities with Germany are not
to be reckoned as among the possibilities of the
near future but he may be forced to take the step
that will announce to the world the suspension OF
friendly relations between the two nations and that
must soon be followed by the abandonment of our
role Of neutrality.
The compelling lesson of the present situation
is for those members of Congress who, in oppos-
ing the peoples will that we arm for defense
cravenly contemplate future that will witness the
surrender of all that Americans hold dear, the
fruits of the toll and achievement of their fore
fathers.

A "Big Business" View.

If it not for the war, big financial inter-
ests would prefer Roosevelt to Wilson They
would feel the government would be safer in hands
OF Roosevelt, who takes advice of some men, than
of Wilson, who never takes anybodys advice.
Roosevelt makes a good deal Of noise about big
business for political effect, but when it to
definite action can usually be depended on to
conserve the best interests of business.
When the panic of 1907 was on he was flab-
bergasted. He called the best financial brains to
his assistance. He said to J. Picrpont Morgan
Here's the United States Treasury; take it; do
anything to stop this panic" And Morgan stopped
it. Wilson would have taken no ones advice and
probably have committed many blunders.-C. w.

II President Wilson had not changed his mind
several important national policies there would
be no excuse whatever for the behavior of the
members Of the Congressional Union for woman
suffrage, who have undertaken to hound him when
ever he sets foot outside Washington in spite of
the fact that he has repeatedly announced that he
believes the question of woman suffrage should
be left to the individual States and should not be
sought through amendment to the Constitution.
But even the expectation that he may change his
mind does not justify the resentment of the women
due to his refusal to drop important business
wherever he may be and receive their delegations
to discuss a subject upon which he has made
known his views on several occasions. The cause
of woman suffrage has made wonderful progress
in this country as the result of dign6ed and con-
servative efforts but it is not being advanced by
the new methods of the women who are annoying

&nti-Sub Boat Designed.

A new type Of high speed motor boat
to be used in defense against subma-
rines has been developed and submitted
to the Navy Department. Although only
fifty feet in length it has developed a
speed of forty-one miles an hour. and
can be carried on board battleship or
a cruiser like the usual type of steamer.
1t is proposed to arm the high-speed
motor boat with rapid-fire one-pound-
er gun and one torpedo tube. The crew
will consist of three or four men.
1t is said that in construction the boat
is type between the hydroplane and the
seaplane or racing boat Its engines
have the capacity to develop l.2c0 horse
power. which is the same power that
the old Indiana type OF battleship used
in cruising at ordinary speed. With Loo
horsepower the Indiana makes nine knots
an hour, or its ordinary speed. The com
mon type of tramp steamer does not use
much more than 100 horsepower in
making her trips.
The new motor boat with its high
speed will not only be designed to run
down subma rines. but under certain con-
ditions it is thought might be able TO
torpedo warships, especially the Older
type of battleship. Contracts for q boat
of this type will probably be let in the
near future. The British navy has al
ready secured a number Of specially built
motor craft for submarine chasers.
