SLEET AND SNOW
Trade and Traffic Stopped by
Genuine Winter

We have experienced this week
some real, genuine winter weather.
Rain, sleet, or glaze" the new
name given it by the weather de.
partment, and snow have given us
an experience that brought the
shivers, stopped business and
caused no little suffering to many
people.
The latter part of last week the
weather grew exceedingly disa-
greeable. The ground became
covered with heavy sleet, then
snow. Sunday showed some let
up but Sunday night another snow
storm hit US which gave us several
inches of the beautiful" before
relief came. Monday and Tuesday
were good days to stay in and look
out. But few people came to town.
The rural route carriers had the
worst experience of the winter.
The snow storm was very gen
eral. AS far as Dallas, Texas, it
fell to a depth of seven inches.
We have not only had snow but
we have had some very cold wealth
err. Sunday morning the Their
mometer registered only a few de-
grees above zero. The cold has
brought much suffering and in
convenience.

MANY APPLICATIONS
Over a Half Hundred Take Civil
Service Examination

A civil service examination was
held here last Saturday to supply
rural route carriers, one from
Huntingdon and one from Layinia,
and to qualify for other vacancies
in the county that may occur.
Fifty-three young men took the
examination. The examination
was held BY Messrs. Scates and
Wharton of Martin, postofice Off
Gals. The vacant route out from
Huntingdon is No. 2, formerly
carried by Claude Mebane who re-
Gently resigned to go into the
mercantile business at Rosser.
The position of rural carrier has
its drawbacks and disadvantages,
yet it pays we'll and there seems
to be no lack of takers when a va
cancy occurs.
The examination Saturday was
held in the |. I. S. auditorium and
it was a fine looking body of
young men who we're seeking to
get on Uncle Sans payroll.

LIQUOR BILLS PASS
House Action Shows Strong Sem
timent Against Liquor

Four important bills intended to
strengthen the prohibition law Of
the state we're passed on final read
ing Of the house of representa-
tiyes Tuesday. They we're:
The anti-locker club bill, which
goes into effect Immediately after
its enactment into law.
The bill prohibiting the storing
of liquors within the state for the
purpose of sale in Tennessee or
any other state, which was amend
ed to go into effect July 1.
The bill prohibiting the solicit
ing or receiving of orders within
the state for liquor, which was
also amended to take effect July /
The fourth liquor bill, making a
second conviction for bootlegging
a felony and punishable by a SEN
tence of one year and one day to
two years in the state penitentiary,
also carried with only two dissent
ing votes.
The vote on the locker club bill
was 80 for, 4 against and - alb
sent or not voting. The vote on
the storage bill was IS for. 3
against and IL absent or not vot-
ing. The bill on soliciting and re-
ceiving orders passed by the vote
of 50 for, 2 against and 8 absent
or not voting.
The senate deferred action bu t
will pass these bills when brought

bills are pending. one prohibiting

state. This bill allows the ship
ment into the State of one quart
a month to any one individual for
personal use.

EVEN IN HOUSE
Democrats and Republicans are
Tied in Congress

A list of members of the next
house of representatives, prepared
by South Trimble, clerk of the
house, and made public last Satur-
day, gives 215 democrats, 2l5 re-
publicans, two progresslves, one
prohibitionist, one socialist and
one independent.
The tabulation, which is unofh-
ciaI, has been held up pending the
outcome of close contests, and IL
nalIy was issued after announce
ment that Representative Scully,
democrat, of New Jersey, had
been reelected. Republicans,
while conceding its accuracy, de-
clared that a final decision that
Representative Barchfeld, repub-
lican, of Pennsylvania, had been
elected would upset the figures.
The name of Representative Barch-
fields democratic opponent is Civ
en- in the list.
The independent members will
have balance of power in the
house on a strictly party vote, and
will exert much influence in parti-
san legislation. 1t is regretable
that one or the other dominant
parties will not have full control,
so that there can be no controversy
as to party responsibility for leg
islation enacted or failure to act.

LEGISLATIVE DOINGS
Many important Measures Being
Considered

II present plans of the Tennes-
see legislature are carried out the
tax dodger is not going to haye as
easy sailing in the future as has
been his pleasure in the past. 1t
is claimed that the changes in the
assessment law will be many and
some of them exceedingly radical.
The scheme, estimators insist,
will uncover not less than $3.50,
100000 or more of personal prop
erty that lenient tax assessors have
failed to reach, or permitted to
remain hidden from the tax gath
erer. Several plans are being con-
sidered by the law makers.
1t is predicted that one of the
principal plans will be the adop-
ton of the stamp tax. Tax ex-
perts contend that, of all plans,
this is the safest. Itwould simply
mean that every note or any other
certificate of Indebtedness must be
stamped by the state. The stamp
ing fee would be small. An entry
would be made on every note so
stamped, The notgNould not be
valid unless stamgsd, and it would
be against the la to handle a note
that was not Stamped.
In this wy the state would have
a reeord. Stall notes. The assessor
would merely 60 to the record and
makeup his assessment roll.
John Barleycorn is going to be
bit often and hard if present indi-
CATIONS are to be trusted. There
are but few members who feel
called upon to raise their voices in
the interest of booze. 1t looks
now like Tennessee will be made
bone dry" before the session
ends. Anti-storage bill, the locker
club bill, the bill against shipping
into the state, so as to get the pro-
lection Of the Webb Kenyon law,
and numerous other measures
along this line will be on the stat
utes when the legislatures work
is completed.

made a hard fight, but their day is
about over in Tennessee. The
apologists for booze are now beg

MOL LYBDEN!TE
 DISCOVERY
 INVESTIGATED

FAIRBANKS, Oct. 15.-Molybde ite veins have been discovered by pros poets about sixty miles from Richard son, in the Little Delta country and brought to the attention of Jacob Meier of the Meier. Pardee Co.,, tung- sten mine. who has gone to investi- gate the ground. Should the discov- cry prove valuable enough to war rant such the entire ground will be purchased and worked by Mr Meier's company.
 Some time ago the vein of molbd- enite was discovered in the Richard son district, but, due to the fact that the vein held as much tungsten and other foreign elements as it did moly- bdenite, the prospectors considered it not worth while to mine. However. MT. Meier thinks the moly bdenite can be mined without having tc take out the other minerals at all, should the vein be extensive. The possible de- velopment of plant of this sort will be the only one of it's kind in interior Alaska, and the ore will be taken care of by the Bethlehem Steel Co.,, where MT. Pardee is interested Just at present the demand for molybdenite is greatly in excess of the supply, and the present market price of $40 per unit or 20 pounds will probably rise constantly in accordance to the de- mand for war munitions.
 The vein runs through fourteen claims on the mountain, and all will be leased by the Meier, Pardee & Co, if Mr Meier is favorably impressed.
