Selmer's Great Poultry Interests

That Selmer is the biggest and best
poultry and egg market in West Ten
nessee, is conceded by all who know
the enormity of the business that is
being done by the Selmer produce 4
Supply Company, Of this place.
This one firm has shipped heavily
loaded cars of poultry averaging one
car per week this year and expects to
ship 81 carloads during the year 1916,
or an average Of carload per week
for the entire year.
The excellent service these people
get over the Mobile & Ohio railway
allows them to pay prices for poultry
that cannot be duplicated by parties
living on other lines; as a carload Of
poultry leaving here on Saturday at
2:30 pm. is unloaded in Chicago Mon
day morning at TOO pm.
When these cars are loaded with
full grown chickens and other poultry
they usually contain 5000 fowls.
When full load Of young ones are
shipped it takes 10000 head for a
carload.
These cars carry from 5000 to
10000 pounds and costs between
$4,000. and $1,000 to buy . carload.
This is governed, however, by the
price paid. In addition to this. this
firm has averaged approximately 3
carloads Of eggs every two weeks. A
carload Of eggs contains about 200
cases and costs from 81 900 to 81, 500
to buy them.
This firm has paid out from January
lst up to this date $S5, 900 for pcul.
try and eggs, which certainly speaks
we'll of this section Of the country as
poultry and egg locality and slsc
shows that we have some live bust
ness men here, and they have thu
capacity for handling goods on {
, large scale.

Death Of Rev. J. G. Anderson

In the rush Of matters last week
we neglected to record the death of
Rev. j. G. Anderson, who died at
Memphis and his remains brought
to Falcon cemetery, where they were
laid to rest with that of other kin
dred.
Mr.. Anderson had been in failing
health for some time. Bright's dis
ease had reduced the once robust and
stately form to frail skeleton.
The deceased had for the past 20
years done much effective preaching.
He clung tenaciously to the Cumber-
land church after the Union, but he
ceased as minister for several
years, for reasons we do not know.
He was our friend for many years,
and we offer our coincidence to his
widow and one surviving son.

The Truth About Willis
And the Workmen's Compensation Act.-Message From
Hon. T. J.'Dufy, Labor's Representative On
The Ohio Industrial Commission.

7. ]. Duffy, member of the Ohio In
dustrial Commission, who was placed
thereon to support the right of the la
boring interests, has this message, every
statement of which is carefully and adj
visedly made:
1.-THE life of the wOrkmcn's COM
pensatiOn law is at stake i'm this
campaign. Two years ago the liabil-
ity insurance men worked for Gov
ernOr Willis and spent enormous
sums of money to bring about his
election. II Governor Willis could
have gotten the resignation of the
members of the Industrial Commits
sion last year, the wOrkmen's COM
pensatiOn department would now be
under the control of the liability
companies. Governor Willis has
done much to embarass the admin
istratiOn of the wOrkmen's cOmpen-
satiOn law; but l challenge anyone
to cite "a single instance where Gov
ernor Willis by voice or even by
proxy was present to defend or pro-
tect the workmen's compensation
law when its enemies were attempt
ing to destroy it.
SIN November. 1915, unbeknown to
tilN niNilpNio VI tiN Schiihio-
sion, Governor Willis sent for two actu-
aries, Mr.. Downey, of Pennsylvania,
and Mr. RYAN, of New York, and asked
them if they would make an investiga-
ton of the Ohio state insurance fund.
They told the Governor they would
make such an investigation, but only on
condition that their report would be
published just as they made it. They in
formed the Governor that they had OBJ
served with much satisfaction the great
progress made in the administration of
the state insurance fund in Ohio. Now,
why did the Governor drop the investi-
CATION after he found out that these
men were favorable to the Ohio law and
would make an investigation only on
condition that their report would be
published just as they made it? Why
did the Governor go about this secretly'
Who asked for this investigation? The
Ohio Manufacturers Association did
not. The State Federation of Labor did
not request it. The Industrial Commits
sion did not. Then, who did? The only
