FOR COTTON PICKED BY SLAVES

Washington, Jan. 26.-The supreme
court has been asked to decide wheth-
er the federal government shall pay
$68,000,000 to former slaves and their
heirs for cotton picked in slavery
times. Their claims are presented in
an appeal by H. N. Johnson, of Mus
kogee, Okla, and other former slaves
and their heirs and "all others sim
ilarly situated.
The suit is directed against Secre-
tary McAdoo as custodian of the gov
eminent funds and recites that the
slaves were held in involuntary servi-
tude and forced to gather the South
ern states crops. They received no
return for their labor, while the gov
eminent collected the $6S,000;000 in
taxes on raw cotton. An accounting
for the labor performed and pro
rata distribution of the money among
those entitled to pay for the labor are
asked. The District Of Columbia
courts dismissed the suit.

DEATH OF WELL KNOWN
WEST TENNESSEE EDITOR

A dispatch from Dyersburg to the
Commercial Appeal, under date Of
January rs, carried news Of the death
of w. w. Glass, editor of the Newbern
Tennesseean, at his home Friday
morning at an early hour, after an
illness of six months, as a result of
a nervous breakdown. Mr.. Glass was,
perhaps, the oldest active newspaper
man in West Tennessee. He was born
in Trenton SO years ago and entered
the newspaper business as young
man. He founded the Newbern Ten
nesseean 20 years ago and made it
one of the best loved country weeklies
in the state. With his newspaper he
was ever active in pushing the well
fare of his town and was always on
the right side of all moral questions.
He was member of the Episcopal
church. He is survived by his wife;
two brothers, Louis T. and P. T. Glass,
of Trenton; one sister, Miss Mamie
G. Glass, of Trenton; three sons,
Quintard and Leon, of Newbern, and
Charles, of Trenton.

]. M. POLK RESIGNS

At meeting of the board of direct
ors Monday, January 20, Mr.. ]. M.
Polk resigned his position as assistant
cashier and the board, in accepting
Mr.. Folks resignation, offered the fol-
lowing resolutions:
"Be it resolved by the Board of Di-
rectors of the Union Savings Bank
that we receive with much regret the
resignation Of Mr.. ]. M. Polk as as
sistant cashier Of this bank, to take
effect on February l, 1917.
"Mr. Polk has been connected with
this institution in his present capacity
since January l, 1916, and has given
the bank entire satisfaction in the
discharge Of his duties.
"He has always been faithful, eff
cient and energetic in his work. His
unfailing courtesy and kindnes in

ing circle of friends who will regret
his resignation.

cord the regret felt at the loss of his

cy and whose character, qualifications
and business experience entitle him

fidence of the public"

Boys Want to Come Home


To The Commercial Appeal:
Why are the members of the Ma
tional Guard kept on the border in
time of peace, not only the Memphis
boys, but all that are serving Uncle
Sam?
Why are we changed from Eagle
Pass to a ranch go miles from a rail-
road station or civilization?
Why should we protect one mans
ranch and let others go unprotected?
Why can't we come home?
Now, we feel this way, not because
we are homesick, but it is merely to
let the people, who have sons in the
army and on the border, know just
their circumstances, and how many
good fellows are losing their jobs,
homes and sweethearts by this call,
which has amounted to practically
nothing.
Why did Gen., Pershing go into
Mexico and now coming out without
capturing Villa, the Mexican bandit,
troops and let others remain? Think
it over. We have been called out
since the 10Th of June, 1916, and have
been on the border since the 10th of
September. While the New York
boys and others left after 80 days of
border service.
Yet we poor fellows have to stay
there until they get ready for us to
go. If the officers would tell the men
how long they had to stay and not
keep publishing pieces in the papers
about them expected home, such as
Tennessee troops expected home Jan.
1917, and not later than Feb. 1,
1917, the boys would be more salts
fed to stay.
Now, kind readers, think of the
hardships we have to stand, and how
hot it gets down here in the summer
and if there is chance for us to come
back to the civilized world, you will
be thanked thousand times for your
part done in getting US away from
this part of the world and bringing
us back to our loved ones.

MISS MINERVA, lss.ass

The report Of the publishers shows
that 1896 copies Of Mrs. Frances
Calhoun's popular little book, Miss
Minerva and William Green Hin,
were sold during the year 1916. This,
added to the 1i9O52, the total res
ported up to January 1, 1916, gives a
grand total of 1884 copies sold up
to January /, 1917.
The publishers expect to discon-
tinue the popular, or so cent, edition
during the coming summer, and will
put upon the market new and en-
larged edition, with larger type and
larger Illustrations, We suppose it
will be about the size of 'Chatterbox
and other such juvenile publications.
The new book will be put back to the
old price of one dollar. This will be
a handsome volume and much more
desirable, especially for children.
The above facts were given us by
Mr.. Townes Boyd, Mrs. Calhoun's
father, and were taken from reports
and letters of the publishers.

TRESPASS AND ASSAULT

On November 18, 1916, four me-
groes, while trespassing on a south
bound Illinois Central freight train,
after robbing another trespasser, set
the air brakes on the train at Wick
life, KY, and attempted to escape.
They were quickly apprehended by
county and railroad officers, and, on
January II, 1917, were tried, found
guilty and sentenced to from three to
10 years in the state penitentiary.
1t is thought they were the leading
members of a well organized gang
of thieves.
On January 7, 1917, four men, three
white and one negro, while trespass-
ing on south-bound Illinois Central
freight train, were seen throwing
Jumps of coal at all persons and OBJ
jects along the right of way. Inquir-
les were made at all stations as to
whether or not anyone had been in
jured. Wingo, KY, reported that two
men had been seriously injured by
being struck on the head. The con-
ductor, who discovered the men while
in the act of throwing the coal, tele-
graphed ahead for officers to meet the
train and the men were arrested and
held at Fulton, Ky. Upon the report
that two men had been injured,
charges were entered against them
of trespass and assault with intent to
kill. The negro, being able to prove
he did not participate in the throwing
of coal, was given 80 days for tres
passing. The white men, under $500
bond, are beng held, awaiting the ac-
ton Of the grand jury.

MRS. G. w. WILLIAMS
HAD GIVEN UP HOPE
Her Family Was Told by the Doctors
That She Would Die and Children
We're Summoned to Her Bedside.

Many wonderful Endorsements have
been given Tanlac, but the statement
made by Mrs. G. w. Williams, Of
Gadsden, Ala, is in many respects so
remarkable as to be almost incredible.
Her complete statement follows:
"For nearly fifteen years l have had
kidney trouble. | also had stomach
trouble and suffered from nervous in
digestion. / could take no nourish-
ment except little sweet milk, and
would have palpitation of the heart
and nervous headaches, and terrible
pains in my sides and back. | got so
weak had to take to my bed, and |
stayed there Is months. Doctors
called two or three times a day, but
/ kept getting worse and fell off until
/ was almost a skeleton and had to be
turned in bed and only weighed 80
pounds.
"My husband spent more than $500
trying to get me well. Finally, / got
so bad | was told that | could live only
few days. / believed, of course, that
| was going to die, and told my hus-
band to telegraph Thomasville, N. c.,
for my son and to Atlanta and Birm-
ingham for my other children.
When my daughter-in-law, Mrs. R.
G. Nelson, arrived from Atlanta, she
begged father to get me Tanlac. He
went right down to Vance's drug
store and got me a bottle. began
taking it, and on the second day | be.
gan to get hungry, and asked for
something to eat. They gave it 10 me,
and it agreed with me, and / have been
eating ever since. After a short time
/ got so / could eat anything / want
ed, and just as much as | wanted.
after this I improved right along,
and it wasn't any time hardly before
| was out of bed. 1t just seemed like
the more Tanlac l took the better /
got, and / have actually gained 48
pounds in weight. | sleep good now,
and am not nervous any more like |
was. Yes, ! feel almost as well as
ever felt in my life and am doing
nearly all of my homework and milk
the COW and churn the milk.
after got able to go about, |
visited my daughter, Mrs. Short, at
Ensley, Ala, and have just returned
from a trip to the store. | don't do
anything but talk about Tanlac, All
Of my neighbors are talking about it,
too, and think it is wonderful how this
medicine has helped me-"

TOM LAWSON DOOMED
GRAND RIVERS, KY.


This same Thos. W. Lawson, who is
So much talked about, is the man who
came to Kentucky many years ago
and began the building Of Grand
Rivers, located between the Cumber-
land and Tennessee rivers, on the 1.
C. railroad.
He bought up thousands Of acres Of
land and began the building Of town
that he said would soon be a city of
$4,000, and that large iron furnaces
would dot all the hills of that section.
His company spent about two million
dollars, and about the same time the
city began to grow he took his de-
parture and has never returned.
But there is one person in this
country that still hives, and moves,
who was brought here from Boston
and who was made the editor Of the
Grand Rivers Herald. He was a
bright young man, not overly hand
some, but he started the Herald for
the purpose Of some day making it
twelve-page daily. 1t lived and -four
ished a few days like the green bay
tree, but soon after Mr.. Lawson left
and the city began to fade away, the
paper went down and its editor, Edgar
w. Whittemore, located in Paducah
and is now and has been for years
one Of its principal real estate deal
ers. When you look at him think Of
the famous Thomas w. Lawson and
the lamented city of Grand Rivers
