much in embryo as no definite plans
have been perfected. These gentle
men would be glad to have other
farmers over the county consider the
question and at an early date it is
hoped matters will reach the point
where a meeting OF farmers can be
called with a good prospect OF the ven
ture going through.
At Pleasant Hill Herbert Smith has
now in operation, in connection with
his saw mill, threshing machine with
which he is threshing for the people of
that neigbhorhood. Frank Frey will
have about so bushels of rye threshed
and other farmers expect to have soy
beans and pease threshed this fall. 1t
will prove great convenience to the
Pleasant Hill people and Mr.. Smith
will doubtless find 1t a profitable in
vestment.

Lotus Eaters.

It is the habit of writer's, speakers
and even of plain conversationalists
TO refer to certain classes of mankind
as "lotus eaters" meaning, Of course,
that they are idle, indolent persons Oh
luxurious and frivolous tastes. There
we're in the ancient world real and
true lotus eaters and it may be that
they were as Industrious and hard
working as the persons who did not
eat the lotus.
Among the old Egyptians the lotus'
which is an important member of the
water lily family, was an article Oh
food with the common people and 1t
was so extensively used that it may
properly be said to have been staple
article Of food.

Superintendent ENGAGED
Road Commission Employs c. F. Scheerer
to Look After Our Roads.

The Road Commission has at last
found man that they feel will fill the
bill as Road Superintendent for the
county under the new law passed by
the last legislature. They have en-
gagged c. F. Scheerer.
Mr.. Scheerer has had considerable
experience in road building near Cnat'
tanooga and has also spent considerable
time on the roads IN this county.
While the writer knows practically
nothing as to the qualifications of Mr..
Scheerer for the place he has accepted,
we do know that he is one of the most
thorouhg and capable farmers in the
county. Any person who will visit the
tarm he is now opening up north OF
town will agree with US that he is an
r,soultrys,,.. >>-tna--.13h man and believes
inhoing things ina neat and thorough
manner. Assuming that his other
qualifications are even fair and they
are probably much more than talr--it
IS very reasonable to assume that he
will do his work in thorough and
careful manner, and it Is pretty safe
bet that where principles of thorough
ness and carefulness exist work will
be we'll done.
The results OF his efforts will be
watched with interest and the success
of his efforts will soon fix his proper
status with the people.

THIS COUNTY HAS
FURNISHED QUOTA
Leads All Counties In the State, Except
Carter, In Furnishing Volunteers.
Draft Examination Likely to
Begin Next Week.

The great military draft was put on
foot Friday and was completed 10
hours later o. early Saturday morning.
The full quota of men called ls 687, 900.
This state IS called on for IA, 528 and
the quota tor this county is around 60
men.
According to the daily press, this
county and Carter county, in upper
East tennessee, are the only counties
in thes tate that have furnished their
quota and no men Will be drafted on
that account. McMinn county will be
called on tor only one man. All other
counties of the state will have to fur
nlsh several.
The Exemption Board for this county
is receiving blanks and instructions
by every mail but are not yet Informed
If any men will be called from this
county. The names of the men drawn
to make up the quota for the south
may be called up for physical examina-
tion and to decide on their claims for
exemption whether or not they be called
to the service at this time. Such
course would hasten future drafts, that
is generally admitted will come In a
few months after the present call has
been filled.
The Chronicle had inteifcared by9b-
S;rt, The names WV GTf
called IN this county rs far. Dut
when we came to conss - x that every
man everywhere who registered has
been called, but will NOT be called into
actual service except lh the Older he
is drawn and the examinations and en-
rollIuent IN the service will not actu-
ally take place until they are needed,
we decided to forego the large task of
publishing over 700 names, as any 'ne
can find out his serial number and the
number OF the order in which he IS
drawn by asking the Exemption Board.
Later we will publish the names OF
those who are actually called to the
service. Any person who registered
and who wishes to know his serial
numper alone can get same from the
list posted in the lobby of the court
house.
The actual examination Ut the men
to determine their fitness for the SER
vice is not likely to commncee in this
county before next week. The best
thing every man can do is to quietly
wait until he is notified to appear for
examination and then come forward
promptly and be examined. While the
Exemption Board Is being beseiged
with a multitude of questions there is
very little they can really tell now, as
full instructions have not been received
and where instructions have been re-
celved there are so many corrections
and chaLges that the Examining Board
IL unable now to determine many quss-
tions that are being asked. So. don't
be in too great hurry but give the
board time to get their bearings and
they will then be glad to give all the
Information possible.
The war department has ruled that
any persons who wish to enlist must do
20 before being called for examination
for after that they will come under the
regular rules ON conscription.
Today the Tennessee state guard. in
common with troops of all other states,
will be transferred from state to ma
tional authority and become part OF

WANTS
HIS REFEREE
Jeff Smiths Manager De-
sires to Name Third Man
for Sheeler Bout.

The question OF the referee now
looms up in the pathway of Match
maker Joe Freeman, Of the Maryland
Athletic and Social Club, of Ardmore,
Nd, for the 15-round battle which
win be held Thursday night between
Jef Smith, the. Bayonne middle
weight, and Kid Sheeler. of Frederick.
Although the articles of agreement
which have been signed by both bat
tiers calls for the official referee Of
the club to act as the third man In
the ring, Al Lppe. manager Of Jeff
Smith, now asks that some Baltimore
referee be named for this battle.
Freeman will insist that p. F. O'Con-
nor shall be. the referee. as he Is the
clubs ofiicial, but in case Lippe does
the contrary act. either Tony Geiger,
of Baltimore. or Fizt Huber. formerly
the ofiicial referee at Colon. Panama.
will be the choice.
Kid Wiley, manager OF Kid Sheeler is
satisfied to allow p. r. O'Connor to
act as he has always been satisfied
with the DECISIONS rendered by the To-
cal referee.
Freeman has completed his entire
card for Thursday night. In the cur
tain-raiser Finney Morgan, a 103-
FOUNDER will meet frankie ParrelIi,

Kid Egan will take on Jack Cunning

Fight Monday.

Baltimore, Md, Dec. 14.-There
probably won't be q whole lot do

sport-loving mayor OF the Jersey me-
tropolis, Charles P. Gillen. along with
several members OF his administra-
ton ana a party OF friends, Is going
to close up shop on that day, hop
aboard a rattler and arrive here early
in the evening In time to be among
those at the ringside when Kid Will
liams, the Baltimore Tiger Boy, and
Johnny Ertle, St Pauis claimant Of
the worlds bantamweight honors.
clash at the Lyric in the greatest Of
local fistic entertainments. Mayor
Gillen, q great advocate of the manly
art of self-defense, has wired that he
wouldn't miss the tussle between the
fiery little battlers of the bantam d.
vision for a nice slice Of homemade
pumpkin pie, which, he declares, is
worth a great deal more to him than
most people would imagine. It Is with
great pleasure that the Peerless Ath-
letic Club. appreciating the honor of
Mayor Gillen's presence, has reserved
for him nine choice stage seats.
be the only out-of-town notable about
the ringside, however, when Williams
and Ertle are sent on their way in the
struggle that has attracted perhaps as
much interest as any ever held in this
city. Edward B. Mclean of Wash
ington has reserved five stage seats
and will motor to this city with a
party of his friends from Washington.
Senator Ollie James. the Kentuckian
whose massive form is a conspicuous
figure about the Maryland racetracks.
will also be present, according to a
local friend. who has invited him as a
guest on that evening. Senator James
is one Of the best-known sportsmen in
the country. his great admiration OF
blue-blooded horses having endeared
him to all the racing folks.
The fact that the promoting organ
ization has filled over $500 worth OF
out-of-town orders for seats, with
more pouring in almost every hour, IL
an indication of the countrywide at
tention being attracted by the en-
counter. Several sporting writers
from other cities have made orders for
seat reservations and private wires
at the ringside.
Reports from the rival training
camps this morning were that the
snow was interfering with the activi-
ties Of neither of the gladiators.
Ertle, who is used to a colder climate
loves such weather and can be seen
early each morning running around
the lake in Patterson Park. He Is
comfortably fit in a private gymna-
sium in East Baltimore and announces
that he is now at weight.

JOE MARRONE is DEAD.

Joseph Case at Benning.

New York, Dec. A-Joseph Mar
rome, q figure on the courses Of the
Jockey Club for a number Of years.
Is dead of heart trouble. His death
was In . measure q sudden one.
and was a distinct shock to his
xriends Of the turf. Mr.. Marrone
came into considerable prominence
some years ago at the old Benning
track at Washington, when he was
barred on the charge that a starter
OF his-St Joseph-had been "doped."
The ruling was made OF the report
of the veterinarian of the WASH
ington Jockey Club. At the time
Marrone insisted that the horse was
suffering from an attack OF acute
Indigestion. and he offered to have
him destroyed and an autopsy per-
formed to sustain his contention.
Hiwever, this was not done and he
was banished. Thereafter he raced
his horses under the name OF Miss
A. III. Marrone, and later under the
name Of the Marrone Stable. From
time to time he had q very good
string. but most Of his horses were
of the selling platter variety.
