He called up Miss Knight at her home in Bain- bridge, Ga., and she soon had min- ister by her side. The ceremony was repeated over the phone and they were pronounced man and wife. Then Mrs. Taylor hurried North and the happy pair are now honeymoon1ng "someWhere.''

FATAL ACCIDENT.
J, N, Raines, Aged 86, Dies as Result
Of Broken Thigh.

j. M. Raines died at his home neal
Pomona Sunday, about 2:30 p. m. He
was sc years OF age and had been binc
for several years. The remains were
laid to rest IN the Raines cemetery,
Maryland. yesterday.
MIR. Ralnes, 1t seems, attempted to
get some water to wash with and by
some means fell and broke his right
thigh bone. Owing to his advanced
age no hope was entertained for his re-
covery from the first. The accident
occurred Friday and he died Sunday.
DR.. v. l.. Lewis was called and rem
dered all possible assistance but held
out no hope for Anal recovery. Every
effort was made to relieve suffering
and it was thought possible he might
SO far rally as to live for some weeks
or months. but the shock was more
than his system could stand.
Matt Raines, as he was familiar
ly known, was a man OF very high in
tegrity and was respected by all who
knew him. He was trustee of the
county some thirty or more years ago
and discharged the duties of the office
faithfully and retirted after one term
not seeking re-electlon-wl with the re-
spect of all. In his death one of our
oldest and most respected citizens has
heen rakon. and all who knew HIM will
hear the sal news with regret. He
leaves a wife and one brother, George
Ralnes, who lives at Maryland.

BADLY WOUNDED BY SHOTGUN
Boy Accidentally Shot In Face and May
Lose Both Eyes as Result

Sunday Hubert Benedict, aged 13,
son of MIR. and Mrs Alden Benedict,
Pomona, was accidentally shot in the
face with load of fine shot and grave
fears are entertained that the boy will
be totally blind as result.
HOW IT HAPPENED.
1t seems that the lad saw wild
duck on pond near the home of q. l..
Wilt and went to get Mr.. Wil5 to shoot
it. Mr.. Wilt went with the boy and in
order to get a shot at the duck Mr..
Wilt went through an orchard and lett
the boy at one end of the pond ano told
him to lie down behind bank about
two or three feet high. When Mr..
Wilt fred at the duck he missed it and
ss the duck raised to fly he fired sec
ono time with No. 6 shot. When the
gun fired the first time the boy sup
posed the duck was killed and raised
up just IN time to be hit sQuarely in
the face with the second load. Dozens
of shot entered his face and breast.
Some of his teeth were broken, his
face filled and shot went into both eyes
IN such way as to render the boy
blind Tor the time being and 1t is fear
ed that he will never see again.
Drs. Lewis and Reed were called and
dressed the wounds and did all they
could but they very much fear that the
sight is permanently injured.
The boy is bright lad and talks of
his misfortune very cooIly and says If
he is not to see any more he does not
want to get we'll There is little doubt
of his final recovery. The greatest un-
easiness is that will he recover his
sight. While the doctors are unable to
tell now, on account of the swollen
condition of the face and eyes. they
have little hope for the eye sight.
Mr.. Wilt was prostrated when lie
found what he had done and did every
thing in his power to relieve the sad
situation. No one blames Nr. Wilt as
all realize that 1T was purely accidental
and that no one was in fact to blame.
The deepest sympathy is felt for the
parents. Expressions of deepest re-
gret and sympathy are heard on every
side from the people generally and all
are cllnglng to the hope that the boy
will be spared the sight of at least one
eye.

OIL INTEREST GROWING
Increased Leasing Activity and Drilling
to Begin In Short Time.

Interest IN the proposed drilling TO
oil IN this county grows CONSTANT!
stronger and those seeking leases art
more active than at any previous time
Much property is beng leased neal
town as well as IN other parts of the
county.
An order has been placed by the In
dian Refining Company for the heavy
timbers necessary for erecting der
rick in the Vandever neIghborhood.
The drilling outht IS expected to arrive
at any time and active drilling work
may be expected within the next week
or two. according to reliable informa-
tion that comes TO us.
The Oklahoma people. who will be-
gin drilling in the Peavine nieghbor-
hood, on the property Of the Cumber-
land Lumber Company. are expected to
arrive soon with their outfit. They
will probably ship their machinery to
Dorton, four miles east of Crossville,
and haul 1t from there by teams.
An Ohio company, said to be a
branch of the Standard, IS represented
here and are watching developments
with interest while securing many
leases. Their representatives have
stated that they have great faith in
the field and feel confident that some
of the companies that are now prepar-
ing to drill Will find oil. When that
happens the Ohio company claims they
will be heard from IN very effective
way and that they will secure their
part of the oil. That would seem to
indicate that, IN conformity with the
usual custom of the Standard, they are
allowing the other fellow to do the
prospecting and they stand ready to
buy or operate when the producing field
is found.
All told there are six companies now
taking leases IN this county and the
activity is such that 1T is probable that
more than half Of the county is. or
soon will be, leased.

FULLY AROUSED.
Our People Are Making Greatest Effort
Ever for Bumper Crop.

| The editor OF the Chronicle has made
special inquiry OF the farmers from all
parts Of the county within the past few
weeks relative to general activity
looking to larger crops this year, and
in every instance we find that greater
effort is being made this season than
ever before.
One firm in Crossville has sold thus
far over 400 bushels OF seed soy beans,
as we'll as much grass and other seeds.
Every one comedies that the soy bean
is the most profitable hay crop that has
ever been grown in this section and
that accounts IN large measure for
the large sales already made. Under
normal conditions there will be the
largest crop of soy beans and potatoes
this year IN this county, ever known.
A mighty effort is beng put forth
by the people generally to enIa ge their
crop of potatoes especially, while many
more acres Will be under cultivation il
a general way than ever before.
The people seem to realize fully the
needs OF the situation for feed and food
and are determined to do their full
share IN providing against a severe
shortage this fall. 1t would be no sur
PRISE to many If ten thousand bushels
cf potatoes were shipped from Cross
VILE alone this fall. Seed is high. bot
most farmers wisely saved sufficient
seed for their needs and that seed item
will not be either large or very bur-
densome.
The excellent quality of "Cumber-
land Countys Perfect ProIuct' has
won for our potatoes very strong
place IN the markets and the demand
will be far beyond our ability to supply
it, IN spite of the unusually large crop

COOK CASE AFFIRMED.
Murder in Second Degree Carries Sen
tenCe of Ten to Twenty Years
in PenitentiaN

Saturday the Supreme Court IN the
case of w. f. Cock, tried In state
courts on the charge of numbering his
wife on the night of Monday, August
70, 1913, held Cook guilty of murder IN
the second degree, as found by Ruth
ertord county court. en- Cook fourth
trial, and affirmed the sentence of the
lower court. The sentence is ten to
twnety years.
Cook has also been charged with
numbering his neice, Lucy Stanford, at
the same time, but has never been
tried on this charge.
The opinion was delivered by Judge
Williams. who gave brief outline Of
the noted case, IN which he held that .
crucial point involved was whether the
murders occurred prior to 10 o'clock at
night or after that time. Cock, 1t ap-
pears. had been 70 church near his
home place, located q short distance
from Smyrna, and had returned about
10 o'clock.
AS both women were evidently beat
en- to death with a club. it appeared
feasible that such erlme could not
have occurred without Cook having at
least guilty knowledge of the crime,
so the court held.
Witnesses living near the Cook home
stead testified IN the lower court that
no OutcrIes were heard In the earlier
hours of the night. A physician who
examined the bodies on Tuesday NOM
ing at 10 O'Clock following the crime
testified they rad been dead not over
ten hours.
One witness testified in the lower
court that lie heard women screams at |
nineteen minutes to IL o'clock.
Cook claimed on the night of the
murder his wife was sleeping with her
neice, and he went into another room
to retire, and 1t was for this reason he |
did not know of the murder until the
next morning.
The immediate scene of the crime
showed that there had been a hard
on the part OF the women be-
fore they were killed.
The court was unable to underst tand
how Cook could sleep there and not
have observed the strong smell of
blood about the place If his witea nd
neice had been murdered before 10
D o'clock at night. 1t was testified to
by witnesses that the door between
Mrs. Cooks room and that of her nelce
was found open when they reached the
scene early Tuesday morning. This
would, it appeared to the court. have
served to intensity the odor of blood
and oil to anyone IN the house. |,
Some wonder was expressed that the ,
,tick with which the murder is sup
posed to have been committed should
nave besn concealed IN the barn when
{ could have Other wise been destroyed.
Testimony was offered in the lower .
.ourt, that Cook took no part In
Iearches following the crimes, but he
lid offer the sheriff use OF his horse .
md buggy.
Judges Clarke and Buchanan dis i;
ented from the majority opinion of 8
he court. T
