With potatoes at 30 cents a

men had the reading habit per-
haps there would be no optimists
left.
Literary fashions set by men
who write novels have lately in
cluded much frank confession of
the fickleness of mans affection
and the failure of matrimony to
satisfy his emotional require
ments. And just at present the
feminists and the suffragists are
not leaving many criticisms of
man for future generations to
make.

OPEN DOOR? HUH!

Gents, here's the limit, the limit whitfield to
point and the point broken off.
AT Umatilla, in Oregon, Mrs. E. e. Starcher-
get it, Starcher-didn't like the way her husband,
her very own husband, performed as mayor of
that town. She told him she could run the town
better than he did, He smiled, cunningly and
self satisfied as men sometimes smile who know
they are all right.
She said she would run for mayor against him.
He smiled again, the confident superior smile
smiled by men who thoroughly know politics.
Mrs. Starcher did run for mayor against him.
They've just counted the votes, and Starcher is
starched. 1t keeps the mayoralty in the family
It's true, but just think of the long, long nights
OF listening miserably that Starcher is likely to
undergo!
The door of political equality is being opened
to woman. Nay, verify, the whole front of the
house is being torn out!

quite impossible. Every time

have me go to dinner with
anyone of whom they are not
acquainted. Please advise
me what to do as l would like
to keep this boys friendship.
PEARL.
A.-Why can't he come to the
house in tho morning for half an
hour before he goes to work? This
would be sufficient time for your
parents to meet him and get an
idea whether he is the sort Of
young man they wish you to be
acquainted with. It doesn't take
very long for an older, experienced
person TO size mp . younger one.
IL tho young man really wishes
to continue your friendship and
he understands the reason you
hesitate to accompany him to din
ner, he will surely mako the Of
fort to meet your mother and faith
or and gain their consent.

Q.-Can you tell me why
people call the man dressed
up in stars and stripes I'm
Gle Sam?
ONE OF YOUR READERS.
A.-The name Uncle Sam is an
extension Of the letters U. s.
Omitted States) printed or stamp
ed on the government property.
II was first used In Troy, N. Y,
I'm 1912, when certain goods pur-
chased for the government and
branded U. s., were officially in
spected by Samuel Wilson, whose
nickname was "Uncle SAM" The
coincidence of the initials sug-
gested the application Of this
nickname to the government.
Dear Miss Grey: May I
take the opposite side of the
question as presented by
Justice" in The Times?
The autoist is not alone to
blame for people wanting
more traffic regulations; the
public instead of looking the
right way are often gazing
into space. 1t needs the CO.
operation of both factions.
l wonder why he slams the
jitneys so hard? II he will
go down to the police court
he will find that the jitneys
are the least offenders. The
traffic officers are. l am
sure, trying to do the best
they can. They haven't eyes
all over their heads and 1t is
impossible for them to see
everything at once.
The statement Justice"
makes in regard to the speed
of the jitneys is absurd as a
good share of them are Fords
and As per miles is going
some. He had better get his
glasses and his watch out
next time. Justice" has an
axe to grind. What is it3

T. K. Reynolds, of Dresden,
was nominated for Floterial Re-

convention at Mckenzie on Fri
day of last week by a vote of 45
to 25 over T. H. Whitlock.
Henry county supported Whit

chairman of the Henry county
delegation; F. E. Bryant repre-
sented the county on the resolu-
tions committee and A. A. Oliver
on the credentials committee.
Following the convention,
Squire Whitlock stated that he
wished to thank his friends for
their support. Il had rather be
defeated with Henry county for
me than to win with the county
against me" he said, "andI will
ever appreciate the fight my
friends made for me, giving me
the instructions from Henry
county with a dissenting vote."

HARRIS PLACE NOW;
OPEN FOR BUSINESS

Harris delicatessen and soda
fount on the South side of court
square is now open for business,
and the modern and to- date
furnishings are causing much
favorable comment.
Everything is arranged with
view to sanitation and cleanli-
ness, and neither time nor ex-
pense has been considered when
it came to fixing the place up,
making it the equal of any in the
State.
The oven which is used for all
baking is a 1916 Bennett, made
by the Bennett Oven Co., Battle
Creek, Michigan, and is so ar
ranged that it is impossible for
the bread or pastry to be other
than absolutely sanitary. Coke
is burned.
A sanitary proof box is used
after the bread has been mixed
and if it fails to prove up all right
it is not baked. Only Gold Med
al flour is used.
The water for the soda fount
is filtered before it is carbonated,
which makes it absolutely pure.
The total cost of fixing up the
BUSINESS, equipment, ETC., will
exceed $1,000. Sanitation and
Service" will be the motto of the
proprietors.

ROAD LAW ATTACKED IN
SERIES LEGAL ACTIONS
Following Decision of Judge
Harwood, Suits Will Likely
Be Filed.

Within a short time a series of
suits attacking the constitu. d.
tionality of the Henry county
road law will more than likely
be filed, according to reliable in
formation, following the decision
of Judge Harwood in the case of
Ernest atkins, who was charg-
ed with failure to work the road.
In this case the suit was dismissed
and judgement rendered against
the Ninth road district for the
costs. This is the third case of
it's kind to be tried andin each in
stance suit has been dismissed.
According to information. At
torney G. L. Fryer has been re-
tanned by several we'll known,
citizens of the county to bring a
number of legal actions in which
the road law will be attacked,
and it is said that these suits will
be filed soon.
In the Watkins case, Judge
Harwood decided that the notice
served on Watkins was insuffi-
cient, or it was not shown that
the notice had been served, and
he did not decide the case
on the question of whether
or not the Robertson Haywood
county road law automatically re-
pealed the Henry county law, al
though this point was raised by
the defense.

Hon. Dudley Porter, candidate
for congress in this district, who
is opposed by the incumbent, Hon.
T. w. Sims, arrived here Satur-
day aftern Don from Christmas
vile, where bespoke to over 300
people Friday night. Christmas
vile in the past has been one of
Congressman Sims strongholds,
but this optpouring of citizens to
hear and see Mr.. Porter and the
furthur evidence of the ethusiasm
among his friends is clearly
manifest that Mr.. Porter is gain
ground rapidly on the obese con-
gressman.
Mr.. Porter spoke here Saturday
afternoon to about 400 people.
He was in trim and delivered a
very forcible speech. Mr.. Por-
ter is strong in this district and
it is predicted that he will carry
it by a substantial majority. =

Passed Away Here
On Tuesday Night

Charles P. Hudson, age so,
president of the Commercial
Bank, member Of the city board

most progressive citizens, passed
away at his home on Hudson

Mr.. Hudson was a son of Viii.

and was born on September 81,
1866. On March IL, 1908 he was
married to Miss Maude Ann Coley,

have men of training, expert.
ence and familiarity with the
work, to aid in giving to the
country the very best results
possible. The success of the
democratic party and the ma
terial development of the
country depends largely upon
the energy, ability and the
effectual service of our repre-
sentatives in congress.
In the eighth district Mr..
Sims, one of the most capable
members of the present con-
gress, with a record for service
that should commend him most
favorably to the entire district,
is being opposed by a clever
young man, Mr.. Dudley Porter,
of Paris. While Mr.. Porter
possesses some ability and in
the course of time might make
a successfulmember of congress,
yet this is more or less proble-
for he has no record of
publicR service from which to
Judge and his ability is not so
extraordinary as to make certain
a brilliant or useful career.
There are no doubt many in the
district who would like to be
honored with a seat in congress,
but this is not the time for in
and untried men.
The nation and the party need
men of experience and known
ability and for this reason if for
no other Mr.. Sims should be
re-nominated and reelected. =

NEWSPAPER DISCUSSES
CONGRESSIONAL FIGHT
Carroll County Paper Thinks
Long Service Is Most
Valuable Asset

Democratic candidates are be.
ing nominated for congress.
In the majority of the districts
in Tennessee the present mem
bers have opposition. This is
natural, for there are always
those who are ambitious to fill
office, and it makes little differ
eece how efficient a member
may Ibe or how dilligent he may
have been in performing his
duties he will most likely find
one Ior more aspiring to fill his
seat.
There are times and conditions
when it does not make 80 much
difference who represents a
district in congress and there
are times also when it makes a
very great difference. There
has not been a time in many
years when it was so important
as now that our most efficient
and best equipped men should
be sent to congress. The dem
ocratic party is on trial, big
issues are being considered,
questions of international i'm
portance are to be dealt with,
and the president. needs the
service and advice of the very
ablest men.
Long service fits a man for
important action under trying
conditions. When a great crisis
comes capable and experienced
anen are needed. When great
issues of government are to be
considered, as they are being
considered by the present
administration it is important to
