In this issue J. s. Garrison announces
as candidate tor sheriff. AS will be
recalled by hundreds IN the county,
MIR. Garrison served three terms As
sheriff several years ago and is, there
fore, SO familiar with the duties OF the
Office that lew men in the county are
better qualified to discharge the duties
OF the place. He is sklllful in appre-
hendlng criminals and has the know
ledge of the office that renders him
very capable as collecting officer.
No man IN the county is more init
mately acquainted with the people
than he and there Is no reason why he
should not make an excellent sherH.
He is skillful campalgner and the
man who beats him will be the next
sheriff. The special claims he has on
the confidence Of the people for their
support he will tell the people IN per-

CHANCELLOR'S RACE WARM
Camps Manager Claims Strong Lead
for White County Candidate,

The contest for the demorati,
nomination for Chancellor of tn,
Fourth Division Is attracting more anC
more attention as the date of the pri
mary draws nearer. Sam Jared, Jr.
Campaign Manager for the Honorable
Harry Camp, IN discussing the situa-
ton recently, stated that reports com
ing into headquarters from all parts of
the division indicate sweeping victory
for Mr.. Camp. One of the best inform.
ed public men IN Putnam county stated
lew days ago that 1t appeared to him
that the politicians. at least number
of them, were against Mr. Camp,
while the people generally were for
him. Mr.. Jared states that this IS the
condition prevailing generally through.
out the division.
Continuing, Mr.. Jared said:
II notice that General Officer is
sending out as campaign document an
editorial credited to the Livingston
Enterprise. which paper IS virtually
owned and controlled by Gen. Officer
himself. In this editorial in his own
paper Mr.. Officer complains that he
has served the public for sixteen years
as Attorney General at a financial sac
'rifice. His paper says of HIM that he
IS lawyer of such unusual ability that
by serving private clients instead of
the public, he could have earned much
larger financial rewards. This
is rather remarkable statement IN
view of the tact that his salary as At
torney General has never been less
than $500 per year. which salary has
been largely increased in recent years,
and in view OF the further fact that
the State has employed and paid an |
Assistant Attorney General who has |
performed a large part of the work of |
the Office. and in view OF the further
fact that / am reliably informed that
for the past several years General
Officer has devoted large part OF his /
time to private practice. notwithstand-
ing the fact that his time belonged to
the public, which was paying. not only
him, but an Assistant as we'll. 1t is
we'll known that General Officer has
attended his court IN Jackson county
only very few times IN the last seven
years. He IS also almost stranger
in his court in Cumberland county.
am reliably informed that his attend
ance upon the courts in number of
other counties has been very irregular,
while the records Of the civil courts in
Overton and surrounding counties will
show that he has enjoyed very lucra-
tive private practice.
"Mr. Camps character and qualln-
cations are vouched for by all who
know him. He has never held public
office and there is strong and grow
ing sentiment against retaining one
man in Office lifetime, to the exclu-
sion of all worthy and competent men.
Every indication points to an over t
whelming victory for Mr.. Camp in the
primary to be held December 1st."

BETTER GET YOUR WOOD NOW
indications Are That Coal will Not Be
0btai1abIe for Home Use.

! George W. Cline, who has been ap-
pointed Fuel Administrator for Cum.
berland county, Is just in receipt OF q
letter from W. E. Myer. Feoeral Fuel
Administrator for Tennessee, IN which
he advises that people begin to lay in a
supply Of wood for the winter because
coal is liable not to be available.
The reasons he assigns are that the
demands Of the government for muAi.
tons factories and for sending to our
allies in Italy are so heavy that coal
tor this section may oot be had IN
sufficient quantities to supply the local
demand. Mr.. Myer says that within q
few days the situation has grown much
worse than previously and that the
difficulties of furnishing coal have be-
come correspondingly greater.
He recognizes that wood will cost
more than coal but that Is not to be
considered IN the present crisis and
that our people may as we'll recognize
the inevitable at once and begin to ar
range for their fuel supply for the win
ter in wood instead of coal.
STATE REGULATIONS.
Under state regulations no person IS
allowed to have more than two tons of
coal at one time and must make oath
that they have none secreted IN any
way and that they Will not order more
until their supply goes below two tons.
Coal dealers must require purchasers
to sign written or printed statement,
under oath, showing the amount of
coal on hand at home or elsewhere and |
some other things relative to coal pur-
chases or any owned.
The situation Is of such nature THAI
our people here need not be surprised
If they can get no coal at all. tor 1T lie
we'll understood that there Is an abund.
ance OF wood to be had here for the
mere cutting and most places wood
cannot be had and coal must be used

A. & NJ. WILL HOLD
REGULAR SUMMER SESSION

COLLEGE STATION, Texas, May
24.---The authorities of the Texas
Agricultural and Mechanical College
have decided to hold the summer ses-
sion without change of plan, and DR..
~. q. Morgan, head of the department
Iof agronomy and director of the sum-
mer session, believes from present
indications that the attendance this
summer will be greater than ever
before.
The session, which opens June IL,
and closes August A, will include five
distinct features: A rural life school,
a summer college, a summer normal,
school of cotton CHASING and stap-
ling, and a farmers short course.
OF especial interest nowadays,
when science is being SO rapidly car
ried into the problems of Texas farm
life, will be the rural life school, This
will consist of a broad variety of
courses which have been planned for
the purpose of making farm life more
healthful, profitable and attractive.
Among the courses offered will be
those in rural gardening, dairying,
rural athletics and rural house
keeping, all of them taught by spec
ialists in those branches, who have
been either chosen from among the
faculty of the college or brought
from elsewhere.
An entire dormitory, under the
charge of a preceptress, will be set
apart for women students. All the
college buildings. library, fine live.
stock, and other equipment will be
utilized to make this a complete and
thorough course in all the subjects
whose study will be valuable and
practically useful to the farmers and
teachers of the state.

.eThe Russian royal family are

after the recent revolution it would

PICKING BRIDE FOR
PRINCE Of WALES
BY LOWELL MELLETT.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent. J
LONDON, May 24-English soci-
ETY. has sidetracked most other actiy-
tiles for the serious business of pick
ing a bride for the Prince of Wales.
The prince himself, somewhere in
France, is wooing the fortune of
war, probably unaware of the con-
Germ he is giving English society.
Society's cause for concern is the
fear that the Prince may follow the
precedent OF preceding heirs to the
throne and marry a foreign princess
even a German one, for which the
precedent is very recent And So
eiety-spelled with either small or
capital So isn't going to stand for
anything like that. "A British queen
for the British" is becoming society's
motto and it has passed from whis-
pering tea-time circles to the bold
publicity of the newspaper editorial
page. Conservatives and radicals
alike are declaring 1t.
$50 far as Britain is concerned
the German royal matrimonial en-
porfum henceforth is bankrupt and
diseredited concern, and the mar
riapeable members of our royal fam
ily will be pleased to look for con-
sorts nearer home
This is from Northcliffe's con-
servatiye Weekly Dispatch.
1--WE want no more foreigners in
our royal family, 1t is not their
fault, il is their misfortune, that
they are pure German in blood, and
that whenever a royal prince or prom
cess Is born it is pure German blood.
There is no British blood in our
royal family. The remedy is OBJ
vious."
That from the more radical Eve
ming Star.
English opinion. at the present
time. would rather see British
prince take his wife from the chorus
or the gutter than from German
rovaI house. And that, of course,
is not the alternative"
So chimes in the Manchester Dis
patch.
These newspapers and others are
urging revision of the Royal Mar
riages Act. whereby princes of the
royal line are practically compelled
TO marry foreign princesses. The
law was passed in 1T72 as the re-
suit OF George 1Irs anger at two
brothers who married English ladies
Of far from royal rank. 1t has had

No method has yet been found to
stimulate and keep naval enlistment
up to full strength. The suggestion
was made TO Secretary of the Navy
Daniels that state pride be used to en-
courage enlistment, that whenever
new ship is given the name of state.
the state so honored be expected to
furnish certain number of men for
service on the new boat. Secretary
Daniels, in replying to the suggestion.
points out that 1t is impracticable to
enlist men for service on particular
ship. but that steps have been taken
to carry ont the Idea by establishing
navy recruiting stations ut all state
capitals where such recruiting offices
do not now exist. Effort will be made.
too, to obtain the cooperation Of state
officials In the establishment Of the
