TO MOVE TELEPHONE EX-
CHANGE AT WHITWELL

Whitwell, Tenn, Sept. 18-
The Cumberland Telephone &
Telegraph Co., is about ready to
move it's telephone exchange at
Whitwell to new quarters in the
second story of the Bank of Whit
we'll building. For a number of
months a large amount of work
has been done preparing for this
change. The cable system of
installation of wires has been
adapted, necessitating practically
new wiring all over town, includ-
ing the erecting of new poles.
These wires are all in place and
it is only necessary to install the
switch board in the new location
and connect the wires. Then the
old lines which embrace nearly a
hundred thousand feet Of wire
will be taken down as we'll as a
large number of poles. The
work is a great improvement over
the old system, With it installed
it will be now possible to detect
trouble" in the lines from the
switchboard without necessitat-
ing the heavy expense of person
al inspection over the lines. The
wires in the cables, some fifty or
more, are carefully insulated and
almost trouble proof.

well, decided that his wife Dinah,
or whatever the colored lady's
name is, needed corporal punish
ment. Accordingly Sunday of
last week instead of packing her
off to Sunday school to mediate
over any possible error in her
ways, he administered a compre-
hensive fiagellation reaching from
a toz The lamentations of the
negress while the stripes descend
ed reached the ears of the neigh
borS and the indignation waxed
great against Thomas for his
method of using forcible instead
Of moral suasion. The criticisms
fell into the ears of deputy sheriff
John Condra, who enjoys taking
up a criminal about as much as
any man on Marion's law en-
forcement squad, and the newly
elected sheriff of Marion coming
along in his car Condra decided to
give him lesson in capturing
criminals. He related the circum-
stances to the sheriff, saying I'VE
will have some fun out of that
nigger." to which the sheriff JOY
fully assented, replying in his
idiomatic way that he didn't
care"
So they departed in the sheriff s
car in search of Shields and short
ly after spied him. Thomas must
have had some sort of a mental
prescience that he was wanted
for as soon as the officers came in
sight he decided to test the going
qualities of the Ford in which
they were, so he left the road and
took to a field, where the humble
corn dodger in its early stage,
grew in lordIy magnificence.
This ruse did not bother deputy
Condra. Sheriff Jackson might
have been. He is not as eX-
perienced as Condra, and his Ford
which could get out of most any
old hole, as the story runs, could
not negotiate that corn field. But
Condra knew just how to turn
the trick and at a convenient point
he slid out of the machine and
took cut after" the fugitive. He
followed the marks of his eXpan-
sive feet down the corn rows and
came to a sage field and saw in
the waving eXpanse where
Sambo's bulky form had plOwed
a path thru the grass like the
wake Of a frightened trout in the
sihlloWs of a mountain stream.
Sambo, as he sped along, had
watched the automobile. He had
seen it glide on down the road in
an easy, careless fashion, like
bulldog out for an evening stroll,
he almost laughed aloud in his,
fancied security. He was sure he
had effected a getaway. So ar
irving at the sage field and ploW-
Ing to its midst he lay down in
waving grasses and gazing up at
the blue sky overhead possibly
meditated upon the magnifi-
cience of the universe. His Gal
ilioesque meditations however
were cut short by the arrival Of
the deputy whose big form loom
ed up like a giant suddenly in the
sage grass before the startled
gaze Of the negro. His dusky
visage made an attempt topale
and his big round eyes rolled in |
their sockets. At the command |
to get up he arose trembling, ex
claiming, "Mass'r, mass'r, done |
give dat ole nigger woman only !
two slaps." Admonishing him |
that he should be more
careful in his treatment of his rib

ROOSEVELT AND THE WEST.
caldwell Trihunel

|
During the next few years the issue
of issues in these western states will
be the fight of the states for the con-
troll of their natural resources which
nave been seized and are now con-
trolled by the federal government.
This issue will dwarf all others. It
comes directly home to the people. 1t
effects their taxes, their prosperity
and their opportunities Immediately.
More remotely it challenges their
ideals of government. Here in the
west we have government by bureaus
and those bureaus are located AT
Washington. Two-fifths of the state
OF Idaho is under the immediate con-
troll of the forestry service of the de-
partment of agriculture. Under one
pretext or another Idaho has been de-
prived of self government in a large
measure.
The republicans of Idaho should see
to II that In so far as Ii lies within
their power no man with the Pinchot- |
Roosevelt idea of conservation of nat
lnal resources be nominated at Chi
ago. On an editorial which appears
elsewhere In this issue of the Tribune
he Wallace Miner discusses this
