We had q nice time at the ice cream

Everybody Seemed to enjoy them

time, and plenty of ice cream and lem
oDade. All kept their seats while the
committee served them with ice cream
and cake, and after being served with
ice cream and cake, we were served
with lemonade The congregation was
brought to order by Loney Mcintyre,
the president Of the union, and sing
ing and prayer by Bro. Hoodenpyle,
and after all the ice cream and lemon
ade had been served, then we >, had a
nice talk by Bro Duncan. He spoke
on several points for the benefit Of la
Dor and the farm. He said that be
would like to know how the companies
could pay $9.00 and up to S. 90 a day,
when the farmer could barely pay 75c
per day. That question is easily ans
wered. The companies make a large
profit on every band they employ, and
large profit comes from every man
that consumes their product. The
farmer pays part of the labor GU ..ev-

on. every pillow, chain, or any thing
made by corporation. He further
stated that the men we sent to wash
ingon did not try to help labor. I'VE
know that if they help labor any in
getting a law to protect him. then
they will get another up 80 the money
power can seize a still better hold. He
said to look at the lock aud dam. We
know the monied man must have ev-
erything in his hands that will pro-
duce plenty of money, and the men we
elect turn it over to them. We ought
to send few men to Washington like
"Uncle Blue" that money could not
buy. He said something about the
union and the benefits. l will tell you
this, except all unions consolidate to-
gether, they cannot stand. God says a
house divided against itself cannot
stand, but John D. has got the union
just where be wants it. All labor in
a different union. One may say he
cannot see it that way. l can. Now,
suppose the railroads start their trains
with scab labor, can you help it,
No, but if we ever consolidated we
would not ride on a sCab train nor
have anything it pulled and we would
not even let it pull lump of union
coal nor corn, moi any union product.
Now, if all unions do not consolidate,
they had better all quft and save the
money that they are throwing away.
On the 10Th of August there will be
a picnic near Delphi given by the
Farmers Union. Now, | think it is
time for every man to see just where
he stands and look for better way to

ban, but all should pull together. By

GARDENS THAT
GROW ONIONS
Should Grow Other Things Too
Don't Worship the Onion
As Did the Egyptian
MANY OTHER VEGETABLES
On the other Hand, Do Not Fall to
Plant Onions In the Garden, for the
Onion is Good, HeaIthfuI and Appe-
tizing.
by c. A. Keffer, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)

(By c. A. Keffer, Division of Exten
sion, University of Tennessee)
A stranger travelling over Tennes
see and taking note of gardens during
the month of April, would decide the
Tennesseean, like the ancient Egyp.
tian, worshipped the onion. He would
find turnips in the fall and winter, and
onions in the winter and spring, and
beans all summer long.
Far be it from this writer to BELT
tie SO popular vegetable if he could.
Besides the onion is strong enough to
take care of itself.
But why should Tennessee gardens
in April and May be given over SO
largely to the odorous-some folks
would say malodorous-onion? 1t is
good. 1t is healthful. 1t is appetiz-
ing. 1t thrives in cold weather and
withstands frost and cold. 1t revels
in rain. Every garden should have
plentiful supply. But in many gardens
the onion has a monopoly of space
and attention, and this is quite be-
yond its merits and its deserts.
1t just happens that three or four
other very useful early vegetables
have the same cultural requirements,
and many town garden, and whole
host of farm gardens would better
serve their owners if three-fourths of
the space now devoted to salad onions
were planted to spinach, peas, radish
and asparagus.
The onion is ready for use earlier
than any of these; planted (multiplier
potato or the mature bulbs of any 9TH
er Variety from October to January,
it yields its tender young product
from February to May. But aspara-
gus is ready for use in early April,
and spinach sown in February and
March, gives delicious pot salad in
April and May, while peas sown in
January (any round seeded kind) are
ready for the table in early May. 1t
takes twenty days for the earliest va
rieties of radish to grow big enough
to eat. In the face of these facts why
should so many gardens yield only
onions through April and early May? |
am as fond of onions as the Back |
Bay resident is of beans. | count no
garden that is onionless a success.
But why nothing but onions?

Evil Has Grown Rapidly,


What a lesson these figures teach.
The private acts Of 1915-those ap-
plying to special counties and munic-
ipalities-nearly four times the num-
Der of the general laws. And the
printed matter in the 1915 acts nearly
five times that in the acts of 1895,
which included an extra session.
1t is beyond human power for a de-
Lucrative body of men to properly
consider s77 acts in a session of IS
days, the time limit placed by the
Constitution on regular legislative
session Cart. Q, Sec. 23)-an average
of 12 day with many of them very
important In fixing this time limit
the trainers Of the Constitution of
1870 felt they were safeguarding the
interest of the public by preventing
the legislators from frittering away
their time at the public's expense, as
for all days a regular session lasts
over the rs, our scions must serve
without pay. And in that, they were
wise. But those gentlemen could not
discount the ingenuity of the human
mind. They could not foresee the
schemes and trading that would be
resorted to by legislators eager to ap-
pease their supporters with favored 10.
cal laws. They never dreamed of the
mass of special acts that would be
dumped on each Legislature in ever
increasing numbers. Il am told in 1918
the Shelby delegation went to Nash

local to this county,
What has been the result? The leg
islators know that many more bills

ROLLED EYES
AND EXPIRED
Witness in HOge Case Tells
Dramatic Story.
TANKESLEY AGGRESSOR,
ACCORDING TO TESTIMONY
Mrs. Williams, Who Tried to PaCify
TankesIey, Makes Good Witness
for Defense

Testimony of Mrs. Ella Williams,
a witness, in the French Hoge
murder case, was heard by Act
ing Judge J, B Frazier, Jr., in
police court yesterday morning,
and though a continuance was
again granted to Aug. IL, Mrs.
Williams, cool and collected,
gave in detail events connected
with the killing of Bunyan Tank
esley, on Harrison avenue some
days ago, by Hoge. Mrs. Will
liams, who lives near the Tank
esley home at Tyner, said that she
had met the former on Harrison
avenue and had asked him to help
her secure an affidavit from
James Ball in relation to another
matter. Mrs. Williams and Tank
esley went into the Bushel store
to get a lemon soda each, when
Hoge entered and asked for
Bushel.
1t seems that Tankesley mis-,
understood what Hoge had said,
thinking that he was speaking
against Sheriff Bush, and asked
Hoge what he meant. Hoge re-
piled that he was addressing his
remarks to Mrs. Bushel, when an
argument arose between the two
men.
Il saw Tankesley reach into
his right-hand coat pocket and
draw his knife" testified Mrs.
Williams, land heard Hoge say,

 RICE SAYS
NEW YORK BROKER HINTS OF A CHANGE IN THE DIRECTORATE AT CON- ING ANNUAL MEETING.

George Graham Rice, the New York broker, in his daily market let ter of last Thursday, has the follow ing to say regarding Green Monster:
 "The strength of this issue in the Curb market, considering the reac- tionary tendency of both the Stock Exchange and Curb issues, especially in view of the recent announcement that the pool in the issue had been dissolved, was favorably commented upon by traders as we'll as speculat- ors. The stock sold up to a high of S4js today and had final at S4
 According to the information which the Industrial and Mining Age has received from confidential private sources, there may be big change in the Green Monster directorate at the annual meeting which will take place in December In fact the manner in which the stock is being absorbed in dicates that certain interests, presum- ably the Clark interests, will be shown to be in control of the property at the meeting. Color has been lent to this by the fact that former Senator Clark on several occasions in years past has tried to purchase the Green Monster holdings and failing to do so shut down the adjoining Equator Mining Company which is reputed to have approximately 100000 in ocp- per, gold and silver values in sight It is reported that this action was taken in order to discourage development on the southeastern end of the dis trict. When it was seen that this policy failed to bring about results he is reported to have gone in the market in order to obtain control Under the able guidance of the Clark interests, the possibilities of this prop erty loom larger than ever"

CLEAR TITLE ID COPPER CHIEF
 CLAIM GIVEN
GEO. w. HULL ESTATE WINS SUIT AGAINST THE UNITED VERDE EXTEN- SION COMPANY.

The George w. Hull estate was given a clear title to the section of the Copper Chief claim owned by the late president, when Judge Smith decided in favor of the plaintiff yes terday in the suit of George w. Hull vs. the United Verde Extension Com pany.
 The suit was commenced early in 1915 and was continued at various in- tervals until the final decision yester- day. It became more and more com- plicated as 1t continued
 According to the complaint, George w. Hull secured possession of the mine in 1895 with David Connor, L. Gadette, Alfred Carrigan and Jean Allison as part owners. In 1900, the latter parties conveyed their interests to Hull in order that he could obtain patent to the property. Their in terests were subsequently, conveyed back to them. Later they sold their rights and legal claims to the mine with the exception of lots "A, 49, 64, 76, v, 7S and 70. of which they re- tained the rights to all surface ore.
 The complaint further alleges that in June, 1915, Avery, who had pur- chased the others surface interests, executed a deed to H. NJ. Globes for pretended interest in the Copper Chief mine Globes then sold his all legged interest to the United Verde Extension Company.
 Claiming that Avery had no legal interest in the mine other than the surface rights to the specified lots, the plaintiff asked the court to make imperative the deeds executed to Globes through him and establish a clear title for the plaintiff to the Cop per Chief mine.
