HERE is A SNAKE STORY
WHICH is CLAIMED TRUE
Bays Mountain Reported to be Haunt
of Reptile Which Eats Sheep
and Hogs.

Knoxville, June 13-An enormous
snake which bellows like a bull, ac-
cording to those who have seen and
heard it, has terrorized people in the
vicinity of Bays mountain about
eight and one-half miles south of
Knoxville. Estimates as to the
length of the reptile vary from thirty
to fifty feet. Recently it wriggled
across corn field, and interested
persons measured the width of its
trail which was reported as eighteen
inches.
Dogs, sheep, small pigs and other
animals are missing in the neighbor-
hood over which the believing snake
holds sway. Investigation has re-
vealed evidence which inclines to the
theory that these animals were
the prey of this reptile. 1t is
known fact that snakes have no
bones in their jaws like man to keep
it from listening them sufficiently
to swallow animals larger than one
might suppose, so that some persons
around Bays mountain fear that a
careless child may some day be the
snakes victim.

CAPACITY OPERATIONS
ASSURED FOR MONTHS

New York. June 11.-Dun's Re-
view for last week says:
Leading industries still surpass in
actual output the work of any pre-
vious year and in most cases capacity
operations are assured for months to
come, labor conditions permitting.
On strictly domestic business, how
ever, the rush to buy has clearly
abated and there are more definite
and convincing signs of a turn in the
price situation. While in some lines
the rest apparently has not yet been
attained and premiur3 continue ef-
fective, in others vie e>ding tendencies
are noted and in ce.''ain instances
pressure to sell is less conspicuous by
its absence. Recessions have oc-
Cured mainly in raw materials but
also in few manufactured products
and there are reports of concessions
made as stimulus to retail distribu-
tion which has again been retarded
by unsettled weather. Since the
point has been reached at which the
high costs are checking consumptive
demands, the evidences of a halting
in the advances and of a trend to-
ward reaction cannot be regarded as
other than wholesome in their bear
ing on the future. Weekly bank

BLACKBERRY CROP MAY
BE THE BEST IN YEARS
Plenty of Rain Fell When Crop Was
Maturing, Thus Aiding Their
Growth.

Knoxville, June 13-Home-grown
blackberries are beginning to appear
on the market in large quantities, al
though the crop is not yet fully ripe.
Indications are that the present
blackberry crop will be one of the
best for years, due to the wet season
that has prevailed so far, and which
has been very favorable to their
production, as plenty of rain fell at
the time when the crop was maturing
Several wagon loads of blackberries
have appeared on the market toward
the last of the week, the most being
brought on Friday. They are of a
fine quality and are in much demand.
AS the crop natures more fully, the
quality will improve.
A few Strawberries have also ap-
peared on the market since the last
regular shipment of the season was
made several days ago. The quality
is somewhat inferior to the average
required by shippers, which shows
the crop is very nearly gone, and
perhaps after this week no more will

Tennessee butter was noticeably

that results from the heavy feeding

TeNlhessee has the advantage of
blue grass pastures and more varied

creameries of Tennessee also have
the advantage of better cream than
those creameries where a great deal
of cream is shipped. This resulted
in a high average score on the flavor
Of the butter.
Tennessee butter was at fault
largely because the butter-makers
did not Pastuerize their cream and
use good starter. Only one Tenn

Pastuerization was more general in
the other Southern states.

HUGHES CAREER
QUITE VARIED
Republican Nominee for Presi-
dent is the son of a Baptist
Minister. 81 years old.
Educator, Lawyer, Governor
and Jurist. Is man of Excep-
tional Ability.

Charles Evans Hughes republican
nominee for president was born in
Glens Falls, N. Y, April /, 1862,
making him four years younger than
ex-President Roosevelt and six years
younger than President Wilson.
His father was Baptist minister
and his mother was a devout woman
who shaped his early education with
the idea of preparing him for the
ministry. The family moved to Ne
wark, N. j., when he was boy and
during his young manhood it settled
in New York city, Brilliant always
as a student, young Hughes was
graduated from a New York high
school at the head of his class at the
age of fifteen, so young that his
father would not permit him to enter
college for a year. He was gradual
ed from Brown university in 1881,
one of the five Phi Bella Kappa honor
men of his year. Finally he attend
ed the Columbia University Law
school, holding the prize fellowship
from 1884 to 1887.
Why the Hughes Beard.
At the beginning of his career Mr..
Hughes was an instructor in Greek
mathematics at an academy in Delhi,
N. Y. A chiding remark from the
principal of that academy to the eff
feet that young Hughes would have |
trouble controlling the discipline of |
his classes because he had "no more
than an egg" is cited innumerable
biographical records of Mr.. Hughes
as having been responsible for the
Hughes beard which has since figured
so largely in political caricatures.
After a short experience as an
educator, Mr.. Hughes became law
clerk in the office of Stewart L.
Woodford, who later was elected
lieutenant governor of New York,
but his health was undermined by his
work and he accepted chair as pro-
fessor of law at Cornell university. I,
Two years later, however, he was
back practicing law in New York.
Reputation Established
The public first heard of Mr..
Hughes in 1905 and 1906. 1t was in
those years that he served, first as
counsel for the Stevens legislative I

COLLEGE IS
APPRECIATIVE
Of Efforts of Maryville Busi-
ness Men in Raising Fund to
Rebuild Carnegie.
Resolutions Adopted at Meet
ing of Board of Directors of
College Last Week.

Resolutions of thanks to the Cham
ber of Commerce for raising the
$4,000 Carnegie fund, were adopted
by the directors of Maryville college
at their meeting last week. They fol.
low:
Resolved, That the thanks of the
Board of Directors of Maryville col
lege be given the Chamber of Com
merce of Maryville, its president and
executive committee, it's members,
large and representative special COM
mittee of the citizens of Maryville
and of Blount county appointed by
the Chamber, and the general public
who responded to their call, for the
superb service they are rendering the
interests of the College in the cam
paign to secure within he borders of
Blount county the $4,000 needed to
rebuild Carnegie Hal.
The directors deem this rallying to
the help of the college in the time of
it's crisis as one of the most notable
and inspiring events in the hundred
years of it's history. This tangible
evidence of the esteem in which it's
immediate clientage and nearest
neighbors hold the college will be
the most conclusive argument that
President Wilson can use to lead the
friends in other places and sections
% contribute the 100000 sought for
is as a Centennial Forward Fund.
The magnificent uprising of the peo-
pie in behalf of what they recognize
as their own college has profoundly
touched and encouraged those who
are bearing the administrative bur-
dens of thei Institution.
The splendid leadership and the en-
-husiastic energy of Rev. J. S. Jones,
chairman of the special Carnegie
and of DR.. r. w. Wells,
he secretary, and James E. Hodge,
Jr., president of the Chamber of
Commerce, of Clyde B. Emert, chair
nan of the executive committee, and
lis colleagues of the committee; of
he special committee of sixty, and
# the editors Of The Times and The
enterprise have rallied he people of
he county as unit around the old
ollege, and have contributed sense
# comradeship and confidence and
courage that will be worth almost
IS much to the college as will the
ebuilding of the ruined dormitory.
To all the subscribers, individually
nd collectively, the directors of the
ollege extend assurances of ther
eep and lasting gratitude. The
ames of these many contributors

hat we not only scan with gratitude
oday, but tina we shall preserve for
oming days as a reasured memorial

A TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY
OF THE LATE w. M. BARR

"This shall be told for a memorial
of her., the master said so long ago !;
of one who had just performed low
ing deed, Of sacrifice, and self-denial.
1t was the Masters will that the wo-
man of which this was said, should
be praised, and her memory be per-
petuated throughout all generations
and today, we believe it is pleasing
to Him, for US to tell abroad the
deeds of nobility and helpfulness of
our friends, though they be dead and
believing this, we deem it a pleasure
to comment on the beautiful life of
our departed friend, w. M. Barr,
whose life was marked by many
deeds of generosity and love and we
think that it can be truly said of him
that she sought not his own wilP'
and much is being said about his un-
firing faithfulness and self-sacrifice
while in the rural mail service, and
this we know is true. But the writer
would go back to the days when he
taught in the public schools of this
county and recall some of the beauti-
full and helpful things which charac-
terized him then.
In one of the schools which he
taught there was among the pupils,
little girl, whose parents were poor
and it was difficult for them to fur
nish her with the necessary school
books. The child was sensitive to
her poverty, yet bore it without COM
plant but she had aspirations which
were being hopelessly crushed and
one day when overwhelmed with
desire to obtain knowledge, she
timidly approached her beloved
teacher and told him that she desired
to take up a study for which she had
no book excepting very old one,
which was entirely out of date, the
teachers heart was touched with
sympathy and looking kindly down
on the child, he bade her bring her
book which she had to him, this she
gladly did, but he found it so entire
ly different from the other books
that he had to class her by herself, ,
which of course would make more
work for him but being the very en-
bodiment of kindness he was always
willing to trouble himself for others
and day after day he went on teach t
ing her from the worn out old book {
little dreaming that that deed of
kindness would speak for him when
MS work on earth was done. Another
beautiful incident is told of how each
day he helped two very small child
rem to get to school. The distance i
which he lived from the school house {
made walking inconvenient therefore
he must ride, and fortunately the
TWO small children just mentioned
lived on the road which he must go,
and although he travelled on horse
pack, he could not pass the tiny tots,
without offering them ride, so he I
made it a daily practice to take one q
# them on behind him and the other n
n his lap, and carry them safely to h
chocl. And now to the writer's C
mind the deeds just referred to are il
beautiful and tender, then {
Why not tell it, for a memorial of t
i'm? The little girl which he kindly e
aught from the faded old book, is a tt

urged the passage Of the public ser.
vice commission law. telling the legis.
lature that a railroad commission
paid by the railroads and with only
advisory powers was inadequate.
Little attention was paid to the pro-
posed measure by the legislature and
Governor Hughes took the question to
the people. He stumped the state for
his bill and finally the legislature re-
sponded.
Even Handed Justice.
Hardly had the bill become a law
before the legislature passed 2-cent
passage fare measure. Governor
Hughes vetoed it on the ground that
a legislature should not deal arbi-
trarily with matters requiring inves-
tigation, particularly when it had
just provided machinery for investi-
eating such matters and had granted
power to relieve situation as justice
and reason, might demand. He also
succeeded in having measure
against race track betting enacted,
resulting in the closing of important
tracks in New York and thus affect
ing racing throughout the country.
Was Considered in 1908.
With the record of his first term
behind him, Gov. Hughes was con-
3idered prominently for the republi-
,an presidential nomination in 1908.
President Roosevelt through his
power in favor of his secretary of
var, Mr.. Taft, and Governor Hughes,
instead was renominated for COVER
lor and reelected. He achieved
reputation as campaign
speaker by opening the republican
,ampaign at Youngstown, o. 1t was
Turing his second term in 1910 that
President Taft appointed him to the /
bench.
AS Supreme Court Justice.
AS a member of the court his
learness of comprehension and his
bility of concise statement led to his
election by the chief justice in even
he first year of his service to write
many of the most important decis-
ons rendered by the court. Among
hese were the so-called state rate
ases, the pure food law decision and
he Virginia West Virginia debt case.
Mr.. Hughes was married in New
'ork city, December 5, 1888, to An
daughter of Walter S.
'arter and has four children, Charles
vans Hughes, Jr., Helen Catherine
nd Elizabeth Hughes.
He was for several years president
the Brown University club Of New
ork, a trustee of Brown university
nd a trustee of the Fifth Avenue
aptist church in New York.
He is a member of the Lawyers,
epublican, University, Union league
nd Cornell university clubs and the
merican New York State and New
ork City Bar associations.
Though in official life Mr.. Hughes
as been known as hard worker, in
rivate life he is buoyant, fond of
ooks of all kinds, music and golf,
esides being a mountain climber c
no has been over most of Switzer-
nd.
