TWO DELEGATES Of
SEVENTH DISTRICT
FAVOR Mr.. HUGHES
NEW YORK JURlST THE FIRST
CHOICE OF HOPKINS
AND KIDD.
STRONG AGAINST ROOSEVELT
VIII Never Vote For Teddy For The
Observation-Disclosures Much Pleased
With State Ticket and Believes
Chances Are Good.

There will be at least one delegate
in the next national republican con-
vention who will never, never, under
any circumstances, vote for Theodore
Roosevelt for president. The dele
gate is Hon. R. S, Hopkins, of the
Seventh Tennessee district. Mr.. Hop
kins does not hesitate to declare his
unalterable opposition to Roosevelt.
! my first choice" said Mr.. Hopkins
today, lis Justice Hughes, of New
York. ! believe that he would be the
strongest republican that we could
name and he would be an ideal presi-
dent. do not know, of course, what
will develop between now and the
taking of the first ballot at Chicago,
but do know that ! am not going to
vote for Roosevelt. There are a mum.
Der Of able and we'll qualified republi-
cans whose names will go before the
convention and who would be accept
able to the people, but Roosevelt is
not in the list.
Like myself, Capt. Kidds first
choice is Hughes. He, too, is against
Roosevelt"
This means that if the name of the
eminent New York ex-governor and
turist goes before the convention the
two votes of the Seventh district will
be cast for him.
Maury county has Jared unusually
we'll at the hands of the republicans
this year. One of the delegates to the
national convention, Hon. r. s. Hop
kins, is from this county, another, Sol
ONION A. Vest, was made the nominee
for congress, another Col. Archalaus
Menalaus Hughes, was chairman of
the congressional convention and made
one of the electors for the state at
large. In addition, it happened that
at the time John W. Overall was NOM
inee for governor, Mr. Hopkins was
presiding over the state convention
and it fell to his lot to declare the for
mer marshal the republican nominee
| for governor of Tennessee.
Mr.. Hopkins is much pleased with
the state ticket and believes that
Hooper and Overall have more than a
fighting chance of election.

DANGERS OF DRAFT

Drafts feel best when we are hot
and perspiring, just when they are
most dangerous and the result is Neu-
ralgia, Stiff Neck. Sore Muscles or
sometimes an attack of Rheumatism.
In such cases apply Sloan's Liniment.
1t stimulates circulation to the sore
and painful part. The blood flows
freely and in short time the stiffness
and pain leaves. Those suffering from
Neuralgia or Neuralgia Headache will
find one or two applications of Sloan's
Liniment will give grateful relief. The
agonizing pain gives way to tingling
sensation of comfort and warmth and
quiet rest and sleep is possible. Good
for Neuritis too. Price Csc. at your

TON IN MATTER.
FINANCE COMMITTEE TO ACT
Question Referred And 1t lie Probable
That There Will be no Delay so
That Lumber in Athenaeum May be
Utilized In Work.

At meeting of the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen Friday night, the ques.
ton of building an annex to the col
ored school building, was taken up and
discussed. The matter was brought
before the board by R. L. Harris, SUI
perintendent of the city schools.
Mr.. Harris stated that owing to
crowded and unsanitary conditions OF
the school that it was an absolute
necessity that the building be en-
larged before the beginning Of the
next term. He further said that now
was the opportune time to begin the
work, that enough lumber could be
obtained from the old High school
building to almost complete the work
and there we're also enough brick for
the veneering. 1t would be great
saving to the city and also add much
comfort for the convenience of the
pupils who attend school there in fu.
ture years.
At the close of the discussion, q
meeting Of the finance committee was
called to meet within the next few
days to decide upon the matter.

Classified Advertising

We have just looked up the cOassi-
field advertising in the last issue OF
April 1911, five years ago. 1t oc-
cupies less than threefourths of a
column. This week we are publish
ing something like three and a half
columns of these little ads, a five
fold increase in the five years. The
beauty of a classified ad consists in
the fact that results will indicate
whether it pays for its cost or not.
While large and much more eXpen-
sve display advertising is carried the
benefit is not always so clear
Our price for these little notices is
very low, 25 cents for five lines first
insertion and about 10 cents a weeh
thereafter. At this rate we could
not afford to devote the space to
them except that their form and vari-
ETY. make them the most readable
part of the paper and thus justify
their use from news value stand
point
In spite of the large increase in
this department and the fact that We
publish the largest amount of classi-
fed advertising of any country week
ly in America (this is undisputed), f,
we know that our patronage would
be doubled if those who have not
made use of Eyerybody's Column
really knew its value. Whatever
you have to sell or want to buy,
whatever you know that you want to
announce to others, whatever you
have lost or found Everybodys Col
umn just meets your needs. Think
up some business for Everybodys
Column. You will be sure to profit
thereby.
