A NEW ENTERPRISE.

The universal demand for good
foundry iron and the price now pre-
valiing and likely to prevail for some
time to come, coupled with the fact
that competent, we'll known Nashville
men were the initiators of the move.
ment, and will be IN charge of the
enterprise, render the starting up by
the Suwsnnee Iron Company, of the
two blast furnaces at Grand Rivers,
near the entry of the Tennessee and
Cumberland rivers into the Ono, a
matter Of general as we'll as specific
local interest.
These two furnaces, of daily ca
pacity of about 100 tons each, were
we'll built originally, and, with regard
to delivery of pig iron output, are we'll
situated, enjoying, as they do, low
rate of freight into Chicago, St. Louis
ami other cities using large quantities
of pig iron, but for lack of iron ore
they have been idle for some years
past.
Possessing or having favorable &C.

ore in the Russellville district of Ala

secure regular supply OF good coke,

grade foundry iron for users in nearby

COURTS CONVENE:
LABOR SHORTAGE.

Never In the history of these United
States were there such abundant crops
grown as have been this year. Never
before was the lack of labor so keenly
telt as now. Especially is that true
when it comes to harvesting the crop.
Now, as always, farmers cannot pay
the high wages that most industries dc
and for that reason among others, ii
will be very difficult to get the crops
harvested this fall. In the face of
present conditions it would seem inev-
liable that much that has been grown
will perish unless many of the soldiers
now in training shall be released for a
brief time to help harvest the crops.
The government sent up the cry for
every person to grow all the food and
provender possible. The people have
responded nobly, but they are now fac
ing the grave danger of much of it rot
ting In the field for want of labor to
harvest 1t.
Unless the farmers are able to gath
er their crops this year what induce
ment will there be for them to attempt
large crops next year? 1t is clear to
every preson that help Will be more
scarce next year than 1t is now, unless
the war shall come to an early close,
which no one expects.
With many thousands more OF the
flower of the country drafted into the
abundant food for next year are very
doubtful. The harvesting problem,
too. promises to be even more acute
next year than this year.
If farmers are rot supplied with Ia
Dor to harvest their crops, that have
been grown at increased expense over
normal years, they will surely plant
less next year for fear they Will rot be
able to harvest.
One nf the wIsest things the govern
mneJ could do would be to let men oft
on furlough for a few weeks, where 1t
is clear that they are needed to har-
vest the large crop now grown and
ready to be garnered. 1t is easy to
ask the farmers for large crops, but 1t
is very poor encouragement to them
not to be able to harvest the crops
when grown-better they had never
been grown. What will Uncle Sam do,
will he realize the seriousness Of the
situation and supply the needed labor,
or will he leave the farmer to struggle
with the problem alone?

During the recent rainy spell the
people of Crossville had the pleasure
of wading mud to greater or less de-
gree at the street crossings. Judging
from the remarks made to the Chron-
icle our people do not like it little
bit. It IS expected that the Board of
Mayor and Aldermen Will take steps to
remedy the matter at their regular
meeting Fri lay night.
The time that will be required for
keeping the street crossings passabIe
amounts to very little, but that does
not render the need any the less.
When people are paying taxes to sup
port the city government they are do
ing so just as much to keep our streets
and sidewalks in a passable condition
as for any other purpose. The people
certainly are entitled OF this small ser
wee from some one and it Is up to the
city fathers to fix the responsibility
and see that the public IS properly SER
we'd.
CrossvIlle has never had a city board
in which the people as whole had
more general confidence than the pres.
ent one. Thew are men who wish and
intend to discharge their duty to the
public. For those reasons we feel con-
fident some helpful action will be
taken at the next board meeting.

nessee Coal and Coke Company, at
Waldensia, on the Tennessee Central
road. passing through Nashville, and
tina. the steps which were necessary
to be taken to put the coke ovens at
that point in working order were begun
some time since, and now have nearly
brought that part of the work to
state OF readiness for making and ship
ping coke. In the meantime the nee
essary repairs and additions to the fur
naces have been proceeding. So that
in no great while by the foresight and
energy of Nashville men, this general
locality will be making a very consId-
cradle addition to the country's supply
of very much needed article, while,
at the same time. the natural wealth
of the states furnishing these materials
will be that far advanced in develop
ment
The formation and operation of this
company by Nashville men will I'M
doubtedly prove helpful to Nashville.
The rebuilding of those coke ovens Cd
the Tennessee Central, the mining
there of the additional quantity of coal
necessary to produce the coke required,
the additional actual demonstration
that the coal IN that region is adapted |
to the making of an excellent article of |
coke. and the daily shipments OF sever
al hundred tons thereof over that |
Nashville built road, will be such a |
demonstration of the roads value as |
will ultimately prove very significant,

making coke, start from that general
section in this direction in quantity. |

Then, again, the ore cars returning
from the furnaces to Alabama conld
bring to Nashville the excellent iron
made by these furnaces for use by the
foundrIes OF this city.
While the Tennessean and American
has always recognized the desirablIlty,
in fact, the necessity, of southeastern
and southern connections for the Ten
nessee Central, IT has always insisted
that the known existing natural wealth
of the section already traversed by
that road is a decided factor which
should not be ignored by prospective

having this general subject under con-
'lderation. Every day that passes
demonstrates to greater degree the
immense value to growing cities of
nearby coal fields. If, in the territory
low reached, or which can be easily
cached by the Tennessee Central,
here exist such fields, Nashville
hould know it. Their vigorous devel-
'pment and convenient railroad access

EACH NEW SWORD IS BLESSED
Japanese, Past Masters in Art Of Max
ing Weapons, Offer Them When
Completed to Goddess.

That the japanese are past masters
in the art of swordmaking is proved by
the splendid weapons, equal to those
of Toledo and Damascus, which they
turn out. The actual method of sword
making in Japan is jealousy guarded,
an extraordinary feature of the indus
try being the religious ceremony which
accompanies every process of their
manufacture. The walls of every
swordmaking shop in Japan will be
found to be covered with allegorical
representations of the swordmakers
and the chief goddess of the Shintos.
Even the final processes of polishing
and sharpening are characterized by
certain religious ceremonies, and final
ly the weapons are offered, one by one,
to the sword god to be blessed, says
London Tit-Bits. This ceremony con-
sists in placing the swords in front of
the goddess of the Shintos on the wall,
with an offering of sake, rice and
sweetmeats, after which prayer scrolls
are read and blessing upon the work is
invoked.

Charcoal Made in Dominica.

Charcoal is much used in Dominica,
probably because there is plenty of
cheap labor to burn it. Most Of 1t is
made far up the rivers and brought
down then in heavy native dugout ca
noes. The charcoal is first packed In
little bark baskets about the size of
strawberry basket. Several hundred
of these are then loaded upon the boat
and tied down with some sort of fiber;
a man takes his place in the stern and
the craft starts on a long journey at
the rate of perhaps a mile an hour.
To an American it looks as though it
must have taken a week to pile up the
load, while a breath of wind might
knock it all In the water, but the car
goes always seem to arrive safely In
port.

For Indigestion.

For severe attack of indigestion
there is nothing better than hot water
and soda. A cupful of hot water with
teaspoonful of soda in it should be
taken as hot as can be swallowed.
The remedy can be made even more
effective by adding few drops of es
sence of peppermint to the hot water
and soda. This makes a very power
full soda mint tablet" indeed. If the
indigestion is accompanied by slight
nausea, aromatic spirits of ammonia
often gives relief. Put half teaspoon
full in third of a glass Of water. This
can be repeated at the end of half an
hour if necessary. Sometimes the dose
is more efficacious if given in half
cupful of hot water, instead of the
smaller amount of cold.-Exchange.

If the teacher knew what field Of
endeavor each pupil would seek In Ia

making school plans. In the case of

MAKING WATCH TELL TRUTH
Traveller Hits Upon Plan to Make II
Unnecessary to Turn His Time
piece Forward or Back

The average commercial traveller
who journeys about the United States
has to keep a close watch on his time
piece to see that it is telling the truth.
There is an hours difference in time
when you enter and leave some cities,
and it's an important matter that you
do not forget to set your watch back
or forward an hour, according to which
way you are travelling. If you over
look it you may miss a train.
An express official who travels al
most all the time and is so busy that
he sometimes forgets to change his
watch at Detroit, Mich, for instance,
or at Dodge City, Ia, has frequently
had an experience Of this kind. Some
times he has arrived an hour ahead of
time, or perhaps an hour after train
has left, giving him time enough for
reflection.
Recently he conceived the idea of
making his watch tell all four diff
ferent times-Eastern, Central, Noun
tain and Pacific. He went to jeweler
and had extra hour hands put on his
of different color,
so that he can recognize it at glance,
on the face of his watch. For in
stance, the ordinary hour-hand, set
at Eastern time, is silver; blue hand,
set an hour back, represents Central
time; red hand, for Mountain time,
is set two hours back, and a green
hour-hand three hours back, represents
Pacific time.
You can do this to your own watch.
The jeweler will make a set of hands
Of these colors and alter your watch
for a consideration of a few dollars.
