JOHN ARCHIE GUILTY
FINDING OF THE JURY
jury Reports Guilty Without Rec.
ommendations-Appeal Taken.

The John Archie case was dis
posed of in the Circuit Court here
last week. only a few weeks after
the crime was committed, and a con-
Vlction reached, showing that the
wheels OF justice are not in anywise
clogged in this part of the State
thru technical means or otherwise
John Archie was found guilty as
accessory before the fact of the
burning of Norrid's store on the
night Of Dec. 2. The courtroom was
crowded during the trial, quite
number Of ladies being present. Wal
ter Archie and a number of wit
nesses were examined, including
Mrs. John Archie, and the defend
ant, John Archie. Walter Archie
implicated his father, as before
stated, in having offered him SIS to
burn Norrid's store, and admitted
his guilt. John Archie's testimony,
however: was vacillating and con-
fiicting. He denied the charge made
against him that he was responsible
for the burning of the store. He
denied offering his son money or in
ducements of any kind to do the
burning. He disavowed any knowl-
edeg of the proposition to burn the
store, but in giving his testimony
exhibited an apparent uneasiness.
His proof was mixed, and upon the
whole he was considered a very
doubtful witness. He undertook to
establish an alibi in saying that
when the store was burned he was
at negro shanty and remarked to
the negro during the fire that he
believed his own store was afire. The
negro replied that it was the moon
he saw.
The case went to the jury Friday
after the lawyers had finished speak
ing. Attorney Pierce made a very
strong plea, but without substantial
effect upon the jury. The jury took
the case over during the night and
}Sendered a verdict Saturday morn
ing. Judge Jones pronounced a sen
tence of two to twenty-one years,
and defense sued for appeal to the
Supreme Court.
Archie was taken to Jail in default
of $1,500 bond

MATERIAL TO FARMERS
GREATLY REDUCED PRICE
State Department of Agriculture to
Furnish Inoculating Legume.

There is little doubt that there is
hardly a farmer in Tennessee who
attempts to grow alfalfa, clover,
peas or any of the leguminous crops,
his efforts were not bringing sue
cess, and that his crops were either
a complete failure, or far below
what they should have been. There
are several common causes to which
these failures could be attributed
such as poor seed, bad season, bad
mechanical condition of the soil,
acidity, or lack of lime, etc. But
we find farmers who will tell us
that none of these Objectionable
conditions existed, and still their
legume crop was a failure. Scientific
experiments and tests carried on in
various parts of the country, have
proven beyond a doubt, that it is
possible for all of the usual condi-
tions to be Just Right, and yet the
legume crop a failure, unless there
is present certain micro-organisms,
or soil bacteria which are peculiar to
the different legumes. Plot and pot
experiments on the various legumes
have been carried out, in which all
conditions were identical, except
that one was inocuIated and the 9TH
er not inoculated. In the inoculated
plots and pots, the growth was luxu-
RANT, while in the uninoculated
plots and pots, it amounted to al

GERMANS ARE PUZZLED.
Judge Lindsey Says They Cannot I'm
derstand Wilson's Attitude.

Berlin, Feb. 5 (via Wireless TO
Sayville, L. L)-Judge Ben Lindsey
OF Denver, who came 10 Germany,
with Mrs. Lindsey, ten days after
travelling with the Ford peace party
TO Copenhagen, to-day made the ap-
pended statement TO me. apropos of
the newly strained relations between
the United States and Germany.
Judge Lindsey has studied the con-
ditlons here at first hand and has
had unusual facilities to come in
contact with German leaders. He
said:
Il cannot believe that, as some
advices indicate. the United States
Government will permit the present
interruption in the Lusitania nego-
tiations to reach a point involving
the possible severance of diplomatic
relations. l am sure much misun-
derstanding exists in America as to
the true attitude of both the Ger
man Government and the German
people.
Everywhere 1 find an eager de-
sire to remain at peace with the
United States. The Government
seems determined to shape the meth
DDS of submarine Warfare as the
United States wishes, but naturally
| it cannot be expected to abandon
submarine warfare after having con-
Quoted its submarine campaign in
recent months as it has done.
Germans are amazed that still
President Wilson is unsatisfied and
chooses to revive at this time old
scores which, after many months.
had been brought to the point of
satisfactory settlement
Il find the situation is made more
puzzling to Germans by the fact
that the United States permits Great
Britain to do as she pleases without
any interference further than pro-
tests which are not enforced. 1t
seems to me that the apparent effort
of the United States Government to
restrict submarine warfare to the
point of abandonment is extremely
short-sighted, because in case of an
attack on the United States our
navy would be our chief defense
and certainly we should not wish tC
be bound in advance of some future
conference to determine what the
law shall be by any such rule as
our Government is trying to force

ENTHUSIASTIC ROAD
MEETING LAST MONDAY
State Highway Association Asked to
Cooperate.

AS per call a meeting was held at
the courthouse last Monday after
noon, very largely attended, to de-
termine or to take some steps toward
the disposition of the revenue ac-
cruing to the public roads from the
automobile tax.
S. r. Bratton was chosen chair
man and II. 0. Head sec
rotary. Some very stirring speeches
were made by DIR. McRee, Mr.. Bob
Fox and others. A resolution was
adopted unanimously, asking the
State Highway Association to
provide that the revenue be
applied to the building of hard
roads exclusively and not for re-
pairs of any kind.
The foregoing resolution was of
fered by Mr.. John Kersey, providing
that the Highway Commission be in
structed to put the money in a hard
road or roads (macadamized) some
where in Obion County.
A motion was made by Mr.. Brat
ton that a committee be named to
include one man from each civil
district, who shall meet on the 18th
inst and agree on roads of the first,
second and third choice, and from
among themselves name a committee
of three men who shall report these
roads to the State Highway Com
mission, who, in turn, will be au-
thorized to name the road in the
county upon which the automobile
revenue shall be used in accordance
with foregoing resolution to con-
struct a hard macadamized road.
The motion prevailed.
The committee was named as fol-
lows: District No. l, John Owens :;
2, Tom Flack; 3, N. A Cravens; 4,
Walter Warren; 5, P. D. Hornbeak; !;
6, R. L. Andrews; 7, ]. A. Howard !;

son; 10, Will Latimer; II, J. M.
Nichols; IL, John d. Killion; 13,
Ed McAlister; IA, d. A. Dean; Is.
Bob Fox; 16, J. M. Chambers
A general meeting is called to be
held on the 18th inst at the court
house in Union City to hear the re-
ports of committees and the progress
of the work and to arrange plans
for the future in compliance with
the foregoing proceedings.
H. o. Head was author of a mo
tion properly seconded that the
County Election Commissioners be
petitioned to call a bond election
under the acts providing for same
to ascertain the will of the people
of the county as to whether or not
the county may issue bonds for the
construction of hard roads. The
motion was carried and H. o. Head
and Bob Fox were named as the
committee. The law requires fifty
petitioners and the committee re
ports the names already secured.
The Election Commissioners will be
asked to call and fix the date of
election, provide for The holding of
election, etc.
