NO BIDS FOR Tenn. CENTRAL
Sale Continued TO September. Receiver
H. B. Chamberlain, Resigns.

When Special Commissioner + l..
Doak offered the Tennessee Central
railroad tor sale. at Nashville Monday.
there were no bids and IN accordance
with the previous order of Judge"E. I.
Sanford the sale was continued over
until September g.
The Illinois Central and Southern
Railway are said to hold first mortgage
bonds totalllng $4,0l4, 600 and that the
interest is past due and foreclosure
proceedings could be instituted any
time. 1t seems that the Illinois Gen.
tral was not expected to bid on the
road. There are many complications
yet IN connection with the road that
remain to be adjusted by Judge San
ford and it now seems probable that
neither the Illinois Central or Southern
Railway Will take any definite action
until matters are clarified to a large
extent.
The general mortgage bonds out
standing represent $l2.000,000 and as
the road was placed IN the hands OF
receivers as result of legal action of
those holding the general mortgage
bonds, 1t IS now up to them to either
take over the road or lose their entire
holdings, it seems.
II. B. Chamberlain, who has been in
direct charge of the management of
the road as receiver since 1913, has
rendered his resignation to Judge
Sanford and asks to be relieved at as
early date as will meet the conven-
ience of Judge Sanford The retire.
ment of Mr.. Chamberlain from the
direct management of the T. g., will
be distinct loss and Judge Sanford is
considered to have large task before
him to find man who can anywhere
near fill the vacancy caused by the res
ignation of Mr.. Chamberlain 1--
Without capable management the T.
G.. is liable to detereorate in value and
the possibility of the general bond
holders receiving anything for their
holdings would seem to be even" less
probable than now, which is consider
ed almost hopeless.

IS IT RETRIBUTION?
], E, Fulton, Who Killed Sam Parker,
Is Shot and May Die.

1t will be recalled by many that
some ten years ago James +. Fulton
shot and killed Sam Parker, at Helen
wood, as he stepped from the train.
Fulton gave as his reason that Parker
had made certain discreditable state
ments about Fulton s wife. with whom
Fulton had not been living for some
time.
Fulton was tried, pronounced insane,
was sent to Lyons View insane asylum,
Knoxville, for time and then released
as cured.
Sam Parker was a graduate of the
University of Tennessee, had started
on what promised to be brilliant. le-
gal career and his death caused quite a
sensation all over East Tennessee.
1t seems Fulton had threatened the
life of j. E. Bell, editor of the Scott
County News, published at Oneida, be-
cause the newspaper had stood strong
for cleaning up the town and against
law violation. 1t seems Bell was
searching for an officer to secure pro-
lection while taking out peace war
rant for Fulton, and while looking for
the officer he ran on to Fulton in law
Office and the shooting took place. 1t
seems, from our information, that the
editor was a little the quicker with his
gun than was Fulton and shot him in
the arm ind spine SO that Fulton is for
the time eng parlyzed and is not ex-
pected to cover.
Some pp!2o look upon the shooting
of Fulton as a matter of retrlbutlon.

BUCKWEiAT FOR CATCH CROP
Some Reasons Why Our People Should
Grow Il This Ysdr and All Years.

Buckwheat grows well IN the higher
parts OF this section, yielding In some
instances twenty to forty bushels per
acre.
1t is one of the best nurse crops with
which to sow red or crimson clover. 1t
should be seeded the last part of July,
and this is the proper time for the
summer seeding of clovers.
Buckwheat is best seeded thlnly for
gram, as it bears grain on branches as
we'll as on the upright stem. A seed
ing of one third to one-half bushel per
acre leaves room for the clover to grow
as well as the buckwheat.
Many farmers do not care for buck
wheat, thinking 1t requires too much
hard labor. This may be true until
better methods of harvesting are
adopted.
Having some last fall and not much
time to harvest and thresh 1t by hand,
we cut 1T with the mower and stacked
it near the chicken house, allowing the
chickens to run around the stacks.
While the stacks packed so tight that
1T was necessary to pull out or cut out
some for the chickens at times, they
did the threshiny. There was some
loss of grain IN the field, but any shat
tered grain around the stacks was not
lost, as the chickens got all of that.
Using 1T in this way the buckwheat
proved very satisfactory addition to
the fowls ration, and the scratching
through the straw furnished the needed
exercise.
The straw remaining after the chicks
ems had eaten the grain was taken tor
bedding.
We have excellent results sowing red
clover with bucKwheat. never having
failed until last summer. when 1t was
seeded too late. August 10.
Ali clover seeded this late froze out.
but clover or wheat that was seeded
earlier stood the winter.
Crimson clover stood the hard freezes
of the winter better than the red Glow
er from the August 10 seeding.
Buckwheat can be grown in a rota-
tlon following small grain or spring
oats, as either gives time for prepara-
ton.
1t has not been grown extensively
at lower attitudes in the South, but l
know of one farmer who grows 1t sue
cessfully at 1000 feet in this state.

Time of cultivation is at hand. DO
your best to keep the weeds out of your
acres. Do not plow more than two in

SHEEP, LAMBS AND WOOL.
How the Farmers Of Wilson County
Market Theirs Through an
Association.

The Martha Lamb and Wool Club of
Wilson County, Tennessee, sold Its
wool this year fer $63.l0 per hundred.
Another club IN the county got $64. 05.
Our club has been running since 1911.
We have about sixty farmers IN 1t.
We sell from 1000 to 1,2OO lambs
each season. We reorganize each sea-
son and set the dates of sales. We
elect our president, secretary and our
wieghman and an advertising commit
tee composed of five farmers, also our
committee of pickers, composed OF flVe
farmers, whose duty ii is to grade the
wool and lambs. The farmer VINO sells
drives the lambs on the scales, the
committee of plckers take off the culls,
and the welgher weighs the hrst grace,
and the secretary gives the farmer
credit for 60 much weight and SO many
lambs in first grade, and the same in
the second and third grade, if he has
any. The secretary orders enough cars
on track to handle each delivery, and
the differsnet grades are kept separte,
but the buyers are always there and
see the whole thing. At about 1:l5
they are invited to look through and
make their bids and hand them in to
the secretary by l 80, sealed, and the
advertising committee looks over the
bids and decides who gets the lambs or
wool.
We grade the old sheep that are
brought IN the same way. II the buy-
ers were not on hand the club would
ship to some good market, but they are
always there and make good bids. Our
farmers don't have to give the sale OF
their wool and lambs any thought. All
amember wants to know Is the day OF
delivery. He delivers his wool or
lambs and goes home. The secretary
pives the successful bidder the weights
and number of each grade. The bidder
gives the secretary a check, then the
secretary takes certain per cent OF
each dollar to cover the expense and
mails the farmers their checks.
This plan has resulted in saving OF
from $500 to $500 each year to our
ne,gbborhood, to say nothing OF the
time consumed each season by the
farmers trying to engage their wool
and lambs at high price. We nave
about nine clubs in this county, all be-
ing successfully operated. One per
cent covers all expenses for sale OF
wool and S cents per head covers all
expenses for sale of lambs eacn dellv-

Serum Treatment for Lockjaw Proves
Very Effective

In the early period of the European
War, many cases of lockjaw or tetanui
developed in the wounded of the alliet
armies.
This very fatal disease is caused BY
bacillus which is often found in gar.
den soil, street dust, and in the earth
in the vicinity of stables.
In order to cause tetanus, the germ
must lodge in wound and find suitable
conditions tor it's growth.
Injuries in which clothing or foreign
matter is forced widely or deeply into
the tissues are the most dangerous be-
cause the tetanus germ can only -four
ish in places into which oxygen cannot
penetrate, just as toadstools grow best
when sheltered from the sun.
AS soon as the stress of war condi-
tions permitted, all badly wounded men
were Immediately given injections of
the serum against tetanus as rou tine
procedure to prevent this dreaded dis
ease.
The use of the anti.toXin caused a
prompt reduction in the number OF
cases and the control of tetanus in the
armies can be justly cited as one of the
ways in which science is helping valor
to win the war.
This subject is of especial interest at
the present season because Fourth of
July injuries, especially from blank
cartridges, are apt to be followed by
lockJaw it they are not promptly and
properly treated.
The gnereal adoption of the "Sane
Fourth" has done much to reduce the
number of these accidents and suitable
medical attention has prevented the
development of tetanus in almost every
instance.
In view of the serious results which
may occur, it seems wise to again warn
all parents that wounds from toy pls.
tolls, tirecrackers, and firearms are al
ways dangerous and all persons hurt in
this way, even though the injury ap-
pears trivial, should be taken at once
to a competent physician for treat
ment, especially to ascertain if the
serum should be injected. United
