WASHINGTON. D. C, July 13.
 Secretary ol the Navy Josephus Daniels uls ordered a thorough investigation oI social conditions surrounding all Of the navy mobi- liza,ion stations, according to a statement made tonight from the navy department. The statement is taken to mean that drastic measures are to be taken to in sure that all mobilization points will be free from vice and that the marines and prospective sail ors being mobilized will be kept in the best possible trim during their training period.
 The orders of Secretary Dani- els are said 10 have been the result of reports received at the navy department regarding the moy.ng to the localities picked out by the government for naval training stations of many people who live of the earnings of a life of vice and crime, These people the recruits for the navy are ordered to leave alone, and efforts are to be made to drive them from the mobilization points.

 from the southwestern front it is asserted that the Rus sians are the most successful in their present advance on the Austro-Germans that they have ever been. They have been strongly opposed at all points, but 1t is evident from the ease with which the enc my gives way before their on Slaughts that there is noth- ing like the strength mani tested by the Germans in other advances of the Rus sians in the same localities and over the same territory.

NENANA, July 13-All danger of strike among the members of the crew doing construction work on the Alaska government railroad is over, at least for the present. The men are going back to work in punches, and the town is as quiet tonight as if it had never known the troublous times that have prevailed here for the past several days.
 Practically all of the men who are going back to work are expressing regret at having quit their jobs Most of them are blaming the i'm mediate past condition of affairs in labor circles to the work of the agi- tators, and there are some who de clare that the aims and objects of labor organization here were grossly misrepresented to them. Some of the men who quit their work came in from as far out as mile forty They state that they were told in letters received by them that prac tiCally ,li of the men working in the gg1ss nearer town Id walked out but that when they vert in to see for themselves they found that conditi ns were the exact opposite, and that but -ew mel, and they mostly disoiIlss g. the agitators, were striking.

FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 81, 1917
THE PRIMARY

Last Fridays primary left its
sores and also left many things for
the party to think about.
1t was a holly contested election
and doubtful methods were in
dulged in by both. candidates and
their friends. Money was freely
spent, and many negroes openly
demanded a price for their votes.
Votes we're sold and bought like
it was a part of the game. In
Huntingdon the price ran high,
and hundreds of dollars were no
doubt spent here that day for
negro votes. The purchased votes
had much to do with naming some
of the candidates, if there is any
truth in common gossip and cur
rent reports.
This is certainly a deplorable
condition and one that the republi-
can party should correct. 1t is a
reflection on the party.for it to be
said that a man without money
stands but little show to secure an
Office in Carroll county. While
this may not be wholly true, yet it
must be confessed that there is
some grounds for the statement.
This is one primary, however,
in which whisky played but little
if any part at all. Everybody was
duly sober and it was certainly a
great change for the better.
The party has nominated a
strong ticket. They are all clever
men and will be hard to beat in
the general election. Some of the
defeated candidates and their
friends are sore over the results,
but this is customary, and the
sores will be healed by August Of
next year. the time for the general
election.

MORGAN TO LEAD

Mr.. Hoover made no mistake
when he appointed H. A. Morgan
as food administrator for this state.
Mr.. Morgan is dean of the Uni
versity of Tennessee and has spoken
all over the state and the people
have confidence in his ability to do
things. This position opens up to
him an opportunity to do the ma
ton and the state very great SER
vice.
He has, for several years, been
telling the farmers about the rota-
ton Of crops, intensified farming,
improved methods of farming and
economy and progress along all
lines of farm work. Now he comes
asking the farmers to cooperate
with the government in conserving
food supplies. He will seek the
advice and helpful assistance of
every man, woman and child in
Tennessee.
His mission is a worthy one. 1t
should be considered a privilege
and patriotic duty to follow his
leadership in helping to make Ten
nessee a mighty factor in assisting
the nation to meet its obligations
to those nations depleted by war.
Tennessee must do its duty along
this line and we believe it will
under Mr.. Morgan's leadership.
