Health of Inmates Good.

From a recent report made on the
condition of state institutions we flnd
that in the three insane asylums in
Tennessee there are at present over
1000 inmates. Only within the last
few years, according to reports, has
any special attention been given to
the probable cure of the unfortunates.
Meager arrangements had been MADE
to separate the tubercular and other
contagious infected patients from the
others. and late reports show that ef-
forts are being made now to separate
and give special attention to ALL Need
ed improvements. such as sanitation,
filtration and food preparation, proper
medical attention and care of the pa
tients, is being installed. In the pen
itentiaries we are informed, there are
1885 prisoners. The report says that
the prisoners are we'll fed, that the
buildings have been recently recon
structed until now ventilation and san
itary conditions are good.
The deaf and dumb school has been
furnished with an outfit OF printing
equipment. Many of the inmates get
practical training here for future In
dependence and usefulness. A new
domestic science department has been
installed for the girls. and also a pic
ture show for the purpose of instruc-
ton and entertainment. This school
is receiving all the support and en-
couragement possible.
The financial condition Of all the
institutions OF the state is. shown as
being in a very satisfactory condition,
with the penal institutions being prac-
ttcaIly on a self-supporting basis.

Farm Association which raised $3Oo,-
600 by popular subscription, erected
the Memorial hall, made the necessary

In receiving the gift on behalf OF
the nation, President Wilson made
noteworthy address. He said in part:
mo more significant memorial could
have been presented to the nation than
this. 1t expresses so much OF what Is
singular and noteworthy in the his
tory Of the country; it suggests so
many of the things that we prize most
highly in our life and in our system OF
government. How eloquent this little
house within this shrine is of the vlgor
of democracy!
"There is nowhere in the land any
home so remote, so humble, that II
may not contain the power OF nina
and heart and conscience to which ma
lions yield and history submits its pro-
cesses. Nature pays no tribute 10
aristocracy, subscribes to no creed OF
caste, renders fealty to no monarch or
master of any name or kind. Genius
is no snob. 1t does not run after titles

as great. 1t pays no special tribute 10
universities or learned societies or
conventional standards of greatness.
but serenely chooses its own comrades
its own haunts, its own cradle even,
and its own life of adventure and OF
training. Here is proof of it.
"This little hut was the cradle of one
of the great sons of men, a man OF
singular, delightful, vital genius who
presently emerged upon the great
stage of the nations history, gaunt,
shy, ungainly, but dominant and ma.
iestic. a natural ruler of men, himseh
inevitably the central figure OF the
great plot.
"Here, no less, hides the mystery OF
democracy. Who shall guess this Sc
cret of nature and providence and
free polity? Whatever the vigor ant
vitality of the stock from which he
sprang, its mere vigor and soundness
do not explain where this man got his
great heart that seemed to compre-
bend all mankind in its catholic and
benignant sympathy, the mind that sat
enthroned behind those brooding, mel
anchoIy eyes, whose vision swept many
n horizon which those about him
dreamed not of-that mind that COM
prehended what II had never seen, and
understood the language of affairs
with the ready ease Of one to
the manner born-or that nature which
seemed in its varied richness to be
the familiar OF men Of every way Of
life"

BIG FAIR AT KNOXVILLE OPENS
WITH LARGE CROWDS AND
FAIR WEATHER.
EAST STATE RIVALS WEST
Appropriation From Last Legislature

seif-Hoids Two State
Fairs.


Monday was an ideal day for the
opening of the East Tennessee divis'
ion fair at Knoxville, and the opening
was indeed auJpicious, large crowd o.
people, men, women and children,
from all parts of the eastern division,
filling the grounds and having an en-
jovable time Seeing the sights
The grounds and buildings had been
gone over by workmen and put in first
class condition and everything was i'll
readiness for the opening. A large
number OF people were at the gates
early and waited patiently for admit
lance
With such ideal weather conditions,
the success of the fair was assured.
The exhibits are numerous and OF
splendid quality. All departments are
well filled and the large crowds have
enjoyed the various departments and
dispiays, as well as individual exhibits,
greatly.
The East Tennessee division far
was made possible by the subscribing
Of $4,000 by the business interests at
Knoxville, which amount was aug
mented by an appropriation of $1O,-
900 from the state Legislature.
An advertising campaign that has
been seldom equaled by fair asso-
ciation in the south was inaugurated
and the result was greater fair and
larger crowds than even the most opti-
mistic of the fair directors and enthu-
<iasts had expected.
Agriculture is king, Just as an ex
ample of what agriculture has to Offer
there Is the exhibit Of Monroe county,
prepared on two days notice, yet

sons crop at one end of collection C
exhibits and IL feet of sugar cane at

until after he had it placed. Then l.
doomed up as the biggest feature eX-
blblt in the land building. Four cut

ing all told II feet in height, which is
believed to be the record height for
any East Tennessee hay crop. The II
foot sugar cane merely served to coun-
terbalance the alfalfa SMILE" for
there is taller sugar cane than that at
the fair.

as it is exhibited, this is the showing:

cabin which they found vacant. Inc
couple never held deed to loot o.
ground III Larue county.
The huge crowd at the farm tooh
great interest In that which proDaDlJ
caused Thomas Lincoln to select tnls
spot for his home-the Lincoln spring.
This never failing stream or water
comes from the ground today as 1t dio
in Lincoln's time.
The Lincolns lived on the farm where
Abe was born for several years. Ihelr
eldest daughter, Sallie, was born there.
When Abe was about four years olo
the family moved to home on KNOB
creek. There occurred the incident
which Lincoln remembered wildly all
his life, where he was saved from
drowning in creek by Austin Cola
her. From this farm the Lincoln ram
ily moved to Indiana.
The farm fell into the possession or
Micajah Middleton who sold to Rich
ard A. Creal, the Lincoln farm as 1t
stands today. Creal built new log
home and for many years used the
cabin in which Abraham Lincoln was
born as a corn crib: At the death Of
Creal the farm passed into the hands
Of his heirs. Many years after the
death of Lincoln the farm began to
grow In fame as "Lincoln's birthplace"
Many people came to see it and among
them was Alfred w. Denett, wealthy
restaurant owner of New York city.
Denett bought the farm, paying the
Creal heirs $1,000 and the deed to the
property was made February IL, $780,
lust SO years after the birth of Lin
coin.
Denett had plans for the purchase
of the farm by congress and CONVEX
sion into a national park and spent
considerable money In an attempt to
get a successful hearing of his propo-
sition at Washington, but failed. He
was the first to attempt any real I'M
proyement of the property. He built
fence around 1t, cleared away the
underbrush and made driveway from
the entrance to the famous spring. He
was planning to build house over the
cabin to protect 1t from the elements
when business reverses forced him to
make an assignment.
lust before this he had complied
with the request Of the officials of the
exposition in Nashville, Tenn, and had
shipped the Lincoln cabin to be placed
on exhibition there. From Nashville
the cabin went to New York, where 1t
was exhibited several months. Later
II was stored in a warehouse.
A few days before making an as
sienment Denett decided the farm and
cabin to David r. Crear, treasurer Of
the Christian and Missionary Alliance
of New York. as payment on q note
he had given them In contribution.
HIS creditors brought suit in Larue
county to have this transfer set aside.
This was done at the May term Of

the nation, from the Lincoln Farm as
ISOLATION.
The occasion was marked with elaD-
crate ceremony, Of course, and thou
sands of visitors were present from all
parts of the country-many of them
persons of real Importance. This was
the third time the people OF Larue
county have seen president OF the
United States among them in seven
years.
The first exercises held in connec-
ton with the Lincoln farm, after 1t
was proposed to give it to the United
States, were held February II, 1909,
when President Roosevelt laid the cor
nerstone of the Lincoln Memorial hall.
On November 9, 1911, President Taft
presided at ceremonies incidental to
the dedication of Memorial hall. And
then President Wilson went there for
the finishing touch. It is unlikely that
another president will go to Larue
county for long, long time to come.
The Stars and Stripes flew bravely
and defiantly from the Lincoln statue
in HOdgenville's public square at the
latest celebration. Just opposite, the
courthouse was draped lavishly in red,
white and blue. And yet, only ten
years ago in August the courthouse
bore a decoration Of another kind. 1t
was a plain hand bill which advertised
Inc fact that the Lincoln farm was to
BE sold to settle unpaid taxes.
The Memorial hall, built at a cost
of $25O,O00, is the center of this new
national park. The hall houses the
cabin in which Lincoln was born. This
Is the original structure rescued from
n warehouse in New York after 1t had
been carried around the country for
exhibition purposes.
Over the entrance doors to Memorial
hall are inscribed these worls:
Here over the log cabin where
Abraham was born, destined to
preserve the union and to free the
slave a grateful people have dedi-
Gated TINS s.b memSrlai 20 sm 1s' P these
states.
Within the hall, the cabin occupies
the principal place. 1t is surrounded
by a heavy bronze chain, for no one
is permitted to enter or touch the
cabin.
The first owner Of the farm which
has passed into possession of the ma
ton, was, so far as records tell, a
man named Duckworth. Court records
do not show how he came to own IL,
but 1t is supposed he secured 1t in a
distribution Of public lands by the state
or federal government. No land grant
or deed has ever been found to prove
his legal ownership.
Local historians agree In the state
ment based on the declarations Of old
citizens of Larue county that when
Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks Lin
coin moved to take up their residence
shortly after their marriage they were
'squatters" and moved into the log
