A few weeks ago a Haywood county

This association appointed one man
from each district in the county to
form a committee to decide on one
breed of cattle for the county. This
committee met and decided on the
BLACK Polled," or Angus cattle as the
breed to be recommended by the asso-
citation. The committee planned an
other meeting to be held November 25
at which time we expect to make final
plans and arrangements for purchas-
ing the cattle.

any kind, / will be pleased to have him
meet with US on November 25. Mr..
R. M. Murphy of Knoxville, state spe-
cialist in live stock, will be here and
help make the final arrangements for
buying the cattle. We hope to get a

TENNEssEEs CHIEF JUSTICE

Judge M.M.Neil of Trenton, who has
been chief justice of the supreme
bench of Tennessee for several years
so impressed Middle Tennessee ed
itor with his decisions as to bring forth
a fine tribute to the West Tennessee
jurist.
Judge Neil is well known for his
studious habits. He had rather work
all day and night in getting at the tap
root of the facts and law in a conpli-
Gated case than to engage himself in
any other manenr; and when the bpin-
ion is handed down in the case it Is re-
garded as final indeed.
The Lebanon Banner pays him the
following compliment, which is abpre-
ciated here in West Tennessee:
zone of the most painstaking, most
accurate and most thoroughly honest
officers of the state of Tennessee today
is the Hon. M. NJ. Neil, chief justice of
the supreme court. A profound law
yer, a conscientious Christian gentle
man, great big man who fills Well
great big place. While presiding over
the impeachment court, Judge Neil so
favorably impressed the members of
The legislature, they are exthavhgant
with their compliments of him. In the
opinion of Judge Neil in the Morgan
Ease from this county, wherein tie SUI
preme court reversed the court OF civ
l appeals, the honest accuracy of a
great judicial mind is made manifest.
This opinion hugs to the truth Of the
facts, in detail from beginning To end,
Just like one Of the railroad eompany's
rains sticks to the track from Nash
fille to Hartman. So do his other de-
sisions. The people Of the state of

New York Nov. 13.-The net short

in nearly ten years, according to a
summary of surpluses and shortages
made public here today by the Ameri-
can Railway Association. At its semi
annual meeting here on Wednesday
the association will consider compre-
hensive plans which, prepared by ex-
ecutiye and other committees meeting
here tomorrow, will aim to solve the
eountry's ear shortage problems.
On November |, according to the
associations statistics, there were 108,-

port shipments. Not before since
February 6, 1907, has the shortage run
higher than 100000 cars; on that date
it was 137,847, On the other hand, the
surpus was in April of 1908 as high as
I13,33S, and at no time during that
year were fewer than 100000 cars idle.
As recently as June / there was Il
surplus of more than $1,000 cars, but

mystery woman told her:
Get a raw piece of beef, cut fiat,
about an inch thick. Slice an onion in
two, and rub the meat on both sides
with it. Put on pepper and salt, and
toast it on each side over red-coal

MEMBERS OF HOUSE
Two Pennsylvania Districts Will be
Decided by Soldiers

Washington, Nov, 13.-Democratic
leaders admitted today that it looked
as if there must be shift in at least
three districts before they could hope
to control the house of representatives
in the next congress.
Republicans still stick to their claims
of 281, with two Pennsylvania districts
in doubt, upon which the two parties
may divide evenly. The result there
will be determined when the soldier
vote is canvassed tomorrow. If the
Democrats secure both these districts
in one of which a republican was
elected on the face of present returns,
they would be still short of votes
enough to control the house.
The president has been advised Of
the situation, and if it is shown that
the official count in close districts
gives the house to the republicans his
recommendations to congress for work
during the next three months will be
many.
With their present number assured
and the known fact that three of the
Independents viii join with them in

.itutional for the Congress to enact
dayligh saving law. The committee
has been informed by the legislative
reference bureau in Washington that
the statute is not constitutional, ac-
cording to Mr.. Marks. Many congress-
men have written Individually favor
ing the plan.
On behalf of the committee, a scien-
tifc study of daylight saving as it
would affect the United States is being
made by Prof. Harold Jacoby, astron-
omer of Columbia University, who will
report his findings to this convention.

POST ROADS.

The last congress appropriated $75,-
100000 for the construction of post
roads throughout the United States.
Tennessee's part of this will be about
$1,SO0,000, to be paid in five annual in
stallments:
$l20,000 the first year.
$240,000 the second year.
$960,000 the third year.
$4S0,000 the fourth year.
S600,000 the fifth year.
In order to get this, Tennessee will
have to spend an equal amount. And
that means S1,800,000 extra tax for
the people of Tennessee. Now if you
want this $S,600,000 equally distribut-
ed something must be done and done
quickly, or else this money will be
spent on through highways, and the in
terror roads will get nothing. But you
will pay your part of the tax just the
same.

ing rural property do not pay road tax

November hundreds of meetings will
be held to protest against the misuse
of this fund. The rural carriers of the
Ninth Congressional district of Ten
nessee will meet in Humboldt, and they

rural towns know their interest they
will be present in person or by dele
gates selected from each precinct in
the eight counties. We are not going
there to fight Interstate Highways,
but to get what is coming to us. If |
we have to pay this tax, we want it |

SUPERANNUATE HOME

In 1906 the people of Haywood coun-
ty built the home on East Main street
now occupied by Rev. B. F. Peoples. 1t
was built without asking for money.
The statement of the great need was
made and the money was willingly paid
in. At that time the leader of the
cause said he wanted it built and kept
up by Haywood county as a free will
expression of the love and esteem for
the noble men and women who serve
at Gods affairs in the Memphis confer
ence.
In 1916, there was need of paint and
it was placed on the building. The
paint cost $S4.80; the work $40; to-
tai of $54.s0. When the cost was made

CROP ESTIMATED AT
1O,S62,9OO BALES
HARVEST RAPID: PICKING AT AN
UNPRECEDENTED RATE
Most Farmers Selling as Soon as Sta
pie is Baled: Weather More of a
Factor Than Boil Weevil; En-
Couraging Factor of Crop

The Commercial Appeal estimates
the amount of cotton from the 1916
crop at 10,S62,900 bales exclusive of
linters.
The crop has been harvested at a
rate never before Appropriated. As
picking and ginning have progressed
the shortness of the yield has become
more and more pronounced in those
districts affected by heavy rains of
last summer, and the boil weevil.
Memphis appears to be the center of
the area having the biggest crop, with
Eastern Arkansas, Northern Missis-
sippi and Western Tennessee all re-
porting excellent yields.
In Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma,
and the southern section of the eastern
belt, picking is almost complete. In
these sections many correspondents
stated that there was not another bale
to be ginned after November [, and
that many gins had not run at all
throughout the season. Very light
weight of bales is characteristic of
the crop that may for once in history
make the government s theoretical
5O0-pound bale heavier than the aver
age Of running bales. In Georgia and
he Cnroiinas the lsteress 81 frost llas
allowed some late cotton 70 mature,
but even then the yield Is short, espe-
eially III South Carolina.
As rule farmers are selling freely,
but for the last few weeks there has
been a steady addition to the number
of holders. All are disposed to hold
whenever prices decline. So long as
new maximum prices are being made,
or buyers are willing to pay old rec
ord prices, selling is free, but no con-
cessions are being made.
A hope for betetr results next year
is held in the statement from CORES
pondents in the sections where crops
are shortest that the shortness is more
the result of torrental rains during
the growing period than to the boil
weevil. However, the latter played
very important part

REMARKABLE GROWTH
OF BUSINESS SCHOOL

One OF the most popular business col
leges in the city is the Washington Bus
mess and Civil Service School situated
at 1877 New York Avenue, This school
was established by the principal. w. c.
Poteet. in the fall of 1913, and since that
time has had a sure and steady growth.
In the past year 1t has made rapid
strides toward the accomplishment of a
large enrolment and efficient work. The
enrolment has been increased by 70 per
cent during the past year over that Of
the previous year. This has necessitated
adding to its force a prominent inter
national educator. Mr.. Ross A. Burnley,
who has been appointed to the position
OF Superintendent OF Instruction for the
year.
Mr.. Burley, who resigned from the
position of Principal of the Ogdensburg
Business College, New York. to come
here, is a certified specialist in the stem
ographic and accounting courses. He is
undoubtedly one OF the highest quail
fled instructors in the commercial teach
ing profession, as will be seen by q
glance at his attainments.
Mr. Burley is a graduate OF the Col
legiate Institute OF Hamilton, Ontario,
where he was awarded a teachers GER
tificate with honors. He holds both the
stenoraphic and commercial diplomas
