Caldwell FavOrS
Anti-PaSS Law.

The Hon. D. P. Caldwell, in his
opening speech for the nomination
for senator for this the Twenty
eighth district at Troy, Tenn, in
outlining the issues for which the
party had declared, among other
things, said that he was in favor
Of an optional free textbook law to
be confined to the common free
schools OF the state. He said such
a law when perfected would be an
annual saving Of more than twenty
thousand dollars to the patrons Of
the schools in Obion county alone"
That he was in favor of the
state paying more attention to
Reelfoot lake, as it was a great
pleasure resort for many people,
and could be made a good source
of revenue, as we'll as an ideal
pleasure resort"
That he was lin hearty accord
with the party declaration on the
pass evil, and would give his best
efforts to embodying this declara-
ton into acriminal statute; at least
the law is imperatively needed to
reach all legislative and judicial
officers" He also would favor "a
drastic criminal statute to prevent
election thieves and crooks from
fraudulent practice in election in
large towns and cities"
He would make it a grave
offense for any person or persons
in combination to gather in and
hoard under a single physical con-
troll a large batch of live registra-
ton certificates, and the fact Of
possession alone should be con-
elusive proof of a guilty possession
just as the carrying of a pistol con-
cealed on the person be an offense
without any proof that it was to be
used unlawfully in committing
some other offense.
That such a law would be
prevention of fraudulent elections
as does the pistol law prevent
tragedies. The speech was ac-
corded marked attention,

Organize Ball Team.

The Dresden negroes have or
ganized a base ball team. They
have purchased good uniforms and
a full outfit of gloves, mits, balls,
bats, mask and breastlplate. They
are practicing regularly on the
field opposite the old T, |. Little
place south OF Dresden. Manager
John Bell has been making great
efforts to raise money to pay for
the paraphenalia OF the team. He
and Wiley Gleason we understand,
have erected a dance pavilion be-
hind the livery stable, where the
colored lads and lasses trip the
light fantastic toe once or twice a
week. The admission fee is fifteen
cents per couple or ten cents for
each individual, and the proceeds
are applied towards the liquida-
ton OF the Indebtedness of the
team. The pavilion is periodically
decorated with red, white and
blue bunting, which also served
as a screen from the public gaze.
The little light that is required
for dancing purposes is furnished
| by impromptu lamps made by
the simple process of sticking
wicks in soda pop bottles filled
with oil. The music is on ordinary
occasions supplied by home talant.
We should state that Hon. John
Bell, above referred to as the
owner and proprietor of the pa.
wilton, has not authorized US to
use bis name in this connection,
and most emphaticaIly denies any
connection with any such wicked
affairs. He asserts that he is q
member of the church in good
standing and that as such he can
not afford to lend his name to a
business Of such dubious charact.
er. Our private sleuth, however,
has run the matter down, and We
are convinced Of the correctness
Of. the facts as above stated.

March 16 1915. She was con-
verted and Joined the Methodist
church at Ralston in the year
1873. She was a member OF this
church till the Bethany church,
near her home, was built, Here
she was a faithful member till she
moved to Sharon in 1901 to make
her home with her brother-in-law
and sister, Mr.. and Mrs. J. N.

and two sisters preceded her to
the spirit world. Three brothers
and two sisters, VIM. w., J,D,,
J. F., Mrs. W. H. Maxwell, and
Mrs. ]. N. Brock remain to
mourn her death. She loved life

extended, yet she was ready and
willing to 90. She called her
nephew8 to her and told them she
was going and that they must
meet her, that she was sure she
was ready to go. Her last days
were days Of intense suffering,
yet through it all she did not for
get her friends and her God.

ONLY A DAD.

Only dad with tired face,
Coming home from the daily race.
Bringing little of gold or fame,
To show how we'll he has played the
game;
But glad in his heart that his own
rejoice
To see him come home and hear his
voice.
Only dad OF a brood OF four,
One of ten million men or more,
Flooding along in the daily strife,
Bearing the whips and scorns of life,
With never whimper of pain or hate,
For the sake of those who at home
await.
Only dad, neither rich or proud,
Merely one OF the surging crowd,
Toiling, striving from day to day,
Facing whatever may come his way,
Silent whenever the harsh condemn
And bearing it all for the love of them.
Only dad, but he gives his all
To smooth the way for his children
small,
Doing with courage stern and grim
The deeds his father did for him.
This is the line for him I.pen-
Only dad, but the best OF them.

decided to reorganize the associa-
ton if it be the desire Of the

must say, and | am satisfied
that all growers will agree with
me, that during the nine years
that the association was in full
operation from 1904 to 1918, that
we received better prices for our
tobacco during that period than
we ever did before or since.
am satisfied that all who
affiliated with the association
heretofore will do SO again, pro-
vided the grower who did not
formally ally himself with the
association will join in this or
ganization, for it is impossible to
make the success that we should
without better cooperation on the
the part of the growers than we
have had heretofore. The prices
that we received during the time
of the organization, compared
with what we received before and
since, should convince any grow
err that we need to cooperate in
this matter. The price of tobacco
today is very good, but at least
oue.halt or three-fourths Of the
1915 crop was sold and out of the
hands Of the grower before the
advance came, and the fact that
the farmers did put their 1915
crop on the market and sold it at
ridiculously low prices ought to
convince every grower Of tobacco
that be should not offer his to.
bacco for sale sooner than the
trade wants it. The only way
that has ever been offered the
farmer to hold their tobacco and
get the full market value is to put
their tobacco in the protective
association and make the or
ganization stronger than it has,
ever been.
hope to hear from several
growers on this subject through
our county paper in the next two
weeks. II. j. Parish.

HAVE YOU WEAK LUNGS?

Do colds settle on your chest or IN your
bronchial tubesl Do coughs hang on, or
are you subject to throat troublesf
Such troubles should have immediate
treatment with the strengthening powers
of Scott's Emulsion to guard against
consumption which so easily follows.
Scott S Emulsion contains pure cod liver
oil which peculiarly strengthens the res
piratory tract and improves the quality OF
the blood; the glycerine in it soothes and
heals the teuder membranes OF the throat.
Scott is prescribed by the best special
lists. You can get it at any drug store.

Mr.. Caldwell
Speaks at Troy.

Saturday, June 10, Hon. D. I.
Caldwell made his opening cam
paign speech at Troy. Mr.. Cald-
we'll is a candidate for state senator
to represent the counties OF
Weakley, Lake and Obion.
Mr.. CALDWELL announced his
candidacy, and began with the
statement that Number Six nearly
always had led the sentiment OF the
county on all important public
matters, and he came to submit
his claims to the good judgment
of its people.
DR.. McRee, one OF his opponents,
had been honored twice in the
senate and twice in the lower house.
The doctor urges his experience
as q claim for his candidacy, but
that alone should not satisfy the
taxpayer. Colonel Cochran has
been honored by you twice as
Pictorial Representative and his
former home district twice honored
him for the state senate. Mr..
Caldwell then referred to Mr..
Cochran's record in voting larger
salries to state officials and OF his
share OF the honors.
Then he took up the subject OF
schoolbooks, saying that he had
asked for the passage of a uniform
textbook law for Tennessee. The
children of Tennessee are obliged
to contribute to the American Book
Society too much money for text
books. A very careful estimate
OF the books for the first eight
studied amounts to $3.50 for each
pupil. With an average attendance
OF forty five pupils to the school
the amount paid out for books
alone for one year would be $685.,
Under the present system this
amount has to be expended every
year for five years with total OF
81, $40. Now, if the books bought
for one year belonged to the school
districts they could be used for
five years with a saving of 81 $50
to the district, and with nlnety-two
schools in the county the saving
would be $40, 760 to the county.
Mr.. Caldwell stated that he would
work, if elected, to reform the text
book laws of Tennessee so that the
poor children could be educated
without having to pay this ex-
tortion for books. Under these
conditions the public school sys-
tenn of Tennessee is a mistake,
Mr.. Caldwell referred to the
need Of the publication of the
ballot, and then he stated that we
need better business standards in
our legislature, or rather more
attention to business in shaping
our public affairs.
Mr.. Caldwell favored a per-
mananent road law that would
benefit the taxpayer without
further increase Of taxes, He also
favored national aid to good roads.
He also looked to measures for
the development OF Reelfoot lake
so that body of water would
be a permanent public fishing and
hunting preserve.
He affirmed allegiance to the
temperance laws and Endorsed the
administrations of Governor Rye
and President Wilson.
