He said that one thing that ought
to be checked is the idea among a
number of business men that they
must succeed in their undertakings at
any cost. 1t is all right to want to sue
coed, he said, but a man should want
success by honest methods. The crime
Of perjury was also scored by the
Judge, who said this offense vas wide
spread.
Judge Mccall called the attention OF
the grand jury to the laws against the
sale of moonshine, and said he had
handled criminals Of this class very
vigorously in West Tennessee.

DAVIS FOR CONGRESS.
Circuit Judge VIII Contest Houston's
Seat In Fifth District.

Manchester.-The announcement oil
Judge Ewin L. Davis of Coffee county
for congress from the fifth congress
sional district bids fair to precipitate
the biggest political fight that the dis
trict has known since Judge William
c. Houston was first elected in 1904.
Judge Davis is recognized as one of
the leading jurists of the state. In his
circuit more money has been collected
for the past several years than it has
taken to operate the courts-a-record
which has been equaled by no other
circuit in Tennessee, according to the
report of the state comptroller.
Judge Davis, as the Democratic pres.
idential elector for this district in 1904,
established a statewide reputation as
a debater. The congressional commit.
tee will, in all probability, call a pri.
mary for the nomination of the con-
gresslona candidate for Aug. 8. I'm
mediately after the meeting OF the
committee, 1t is expected that Judge
Davis will launch his campaign in ear

Jackson That the picture of suf-

Belgium, as presented by the press of
this country, is not overdrawn, is the
statement Of Algie Woods, Jackson
boy. who has returned from the scene
of battle ON the French border line.
For year and a half he served I'M
der the British flag and would per.
haps be fighting still were 1t not for
the fact that he was dismissed after
receiving bullet wounds in both hips
and a saber wound in his body.
Young Woods claims that the Ger
mans fear bayonet fighting; that the
story Of rapine and murder in the war
zone has never been fully told; that
the horrors are almost uncomfortable.
He will not return to the scene of
battle. He has already accepted po-
sition in New Orleans.
