Not Enough Children

ever receive the proper balance of
food to sufficiently nourish both body
and brain during the growing period
when natures demands are greater
than in mature life. This is shown
in so many pale faces, lean bodies,
frequent colds and lack of ambition.
For all such children we say with
unmistakable earnestness: They
need Scott's Emulsion, and need it
now. 1t possesses in concentrated
form the very food elements to en-
rich their blood. 1t changes weak
ness to strength; it makes them
sturdy and strong. No alcohl.

Killed in Mines.

Last Monday Night Hiram
Jarvis, one of Knox County's
best men was killed in a mine at
North Jellico by falling slate. He
was with Mr.. Jas. L. Dozier, at
the time of his being injured and
only lived about one hour after
the slate fell on him.
Mr.. Jarvis was the son of Mr..
Joe Jarvis who lived at Knox
Fork, and was man whom every
one liked, who knew him. Ae
leaves a wife, seven children the
oldest of which is only Is years
old, a host of friends and relat-
ives behind to mourn that he
should be thus taken. He was
buried in the old family burying
grounds near The E. S. Burnett
home, last Wednesday, and the
multitude of friends who attend
ed attest the high esteem in
which he was held by all who
knew him. This indeed was a
sad death, and the family has the
sympathy of all.

Road Work Stopped.

The work on the construction
of the road toward Indian Creek,
is at a dead standstill on the &C
count of the right-of-way not be-
ing cleared up. We will have to
wait until we can get a set of
officers with at least place for

have any work done. The pre-

doing wrong or that they will
hurt the feelings of some voter,

OppUrtu-
nifty for Local
Boy.


Believing that now is the time
when every young boy should
have military training, the AID.
VOCATE has made special ar
rangements with one of the lead
ing military schools of the Unit
ed States to give a scholarship
to the best qualified boy from
Knox County.
The successful applicant will
receive daily instruction and drill
under the direction of a United
States Army Officer, besides car
rying on the regular high school
work which he must pursue.
This training will not only fit
him to enter the Reserve Officers
Corps or the regular army, but
graduation certificate admits him
to practically all colleges and uni
versities, and West Point, with
out examination. Honor gradu-
ates are eligible for examination
as Second Lieutenants in the
regular army.
Applicants must be between the
ages of ID and Is and must have
progressed through the seventh
grade. Preference, however, will
be given to boys who are in the
first and second year high school.
They should be physically fit, of
the highest moral character and
should be recommended by at
least three prominent business
men or business institutions.
This military academy is one of
the most widely known and best
equipped in the United States,
having a national patronage. The
scholarship was only made avail
able to the ADVOCATE through
vacancies caused by Junior Cadets
entering Officers Reserve Train
ing Corps, and makes the cost
of board and tuition very low.
Our nations great need for mill
tary trained men in every walk
of life makes this an unusual OPP
portunity for some Knox County
boy. Application should be made
direct to this office where cata-
logues of the school and full in
formation may be had.

a law whereby a man elected to

For Whom
Shall Vote?

and Circuit Judge is drawing
nigh. OF course this is an election
in which nominations only are
made, but we all know that nom-
ination in this county is equiva-
lent to election, therefore if we
do not select the right man in
this Primary we cannot get him
Tor herr at all. So we should
begin now to think and pray over
the matter that we might make
no mistake August 4th.
We all with one accord agree
that the best qualified should
have our votes and have the Off
ces, but the question is: Who
is the best qualified? To be sure
the Statute fixes certain qualifi-
cations for the various officials,
but we know that there are 9TH
err essential qualifications other
than those written in the law.
1t is taken for granted that all
the aspirants for Office possess
the legal qualifications, but are
they equal in education, relig-
ious culture, refinement, purity
of life and scores of other traits
and characteristics that go to
make the Ideal Citizen"
All sane persons know that no
two candidates are the same in
these essentials, hence the rea-
sons for careful and thoughtful
consideration are apparent. 1t
would take time and space to
describe an Ideal Citizen" and
in as much as none of US come
up to this high standard, it is I'M
necessary to attempt in this brief
article to describe one, and yet
there are some worthy graces
which we should like to mention,
and which we think a candidate
should possess before he Tor she)
is entitled to any sort of consid-
Grafton by the voters of this
great country.
In the first place | would that all
candidates (and all others) were
truly christians, and by the way,
this qualification followed out in
detail covers most of the ground.
| mean by the term Christian"
one who is a real follower of
Christ, one who in repentance
has fully surrendered his life and
consecrated his all to God. One
who is truly Born Again" Ono.
3rd capter,) one that is "a New
Creature" end Cor. 5; Is, and
Gal. 6; Is, one who Loves the
Lord with all their heart, soul,
strength and mind luke 10; ~
Yes and one who is trying with
all his heart to follow the teach
ing of the Saviour and especially
3rd chapter of Colassians. These
are the salt of the earth.
1t is true that a great number
of our candidates are members
of churches. Probably all of the
candidates for the same Office are
christians. Then there comes
the test of our own lives to de-
eide for whom to vote. In this
case it is necessary for US to look
earnestly for the best. Look for
the most Cody. the most con-
secrated, most unselfish, for those
who are doing something to bet
ter the world in which they live.
We need officials who not only
want to make better conditions
in Knox county but those who are
public spirited and love progress
and development, those who are
live wires and enthusiastic about
anything that needs doing. If
we can have these to look after
Knox county's affairs we will
soon come into the full fruition
of better things.
Yours Sincerely,
ID II D.ul.z.

To THE CITIZENS OF KNOX Co:
Four years ago became a can
didate for Jailer; but at the re-
quest of the present jailer and
other friends, l ran for Sheriff
instead. You remember how |
was maligned and misrepresent-
ed, which caused many people
10 vote against me.
But now after you have tried
me for four years, and know me.
and know that / have tried to
treat everybody right, and even
better than was able in many
instances. am certainly pleas
ed with the expressions of en-
couragemnt and support you
have given me in this race.
Some weeks ago, before made
my announcement, when it got
out that had authorized some
of the other candidates for Taller
to propose to Mitchell that if he
would stay out of this race, /
would, and let the other boys
fight it out and have it. A good
many came to me and urged me
to make the race, stating that |
already had it won, and that be-
cause of the way | was mis-
represented to them four years
ago they voted against and now
wanted a chance to vote for me,
here want to thank them for
such encouragement.
In accord with my idea of pub
lie office, / have tried to make of
the. Sheriff s office one of public
service, and to consider myself
your servant. l have avoided
annoying you, imposing on you,
or opposing you.
l have not levied on and sod
your home, horse, or cow, or kill
ed your dog, or garnisheed your
wages for taxes or executions,
all Of which you know | could in
many cases have. done. But /
have always given you the best
show possibly could. ,
E"1 have always taken pleasure
in rendering every accommada-
ton and, favor 1 could to the
people. -.,
The charge is made by one of
my opponents that as Sheriff /
have not paid his claims. This
in a number of Instances may be
true, for his claims are usually
for 100000. But my book at
present shows that | have paid
551 claims for 1916, when you
know | had only a few thousand
dollars to put in them because,
of this road bond fund. So if |
had paid his big ones. | could
not have taken two or three
hundred of your little ones. 1t
has been my policy all the while
to serve the poor man with his
little claim, instead of the big
man with his big claim, when !
could not serve all. / do not be-
lieve the people will condemn
me for this. ~
There yet may be enough uu-
paid taxes due to pay his claims
and mine too; but in order not
to press the people who tell me
they will pay as soon as they can,
I have done without mine, and
he is no better than am. ! am
sorry that one who has lived off
you for the last four years, will
kick because | have given you
this show.
/ shall be glad to have you in
spect my books, and to examine
the report of the State Inspector
and Examiner recently mailed
out. a copy of which ! have. and
compare the report on my Office
with that of the other Sheriff s
in the surrounding counties.
Complaints have come to me-

Is TT POLICY.

Some considerable controvers,
has been indulged in of late, be
tween the city school board ant
the parents of pupils who are so
called non-residents". The tro9
bic has grown out OF an at
tempt on the part of the schoo
board to compel the ~non-resi
dent property holders to pay
tuition on all children attend
ing the citys chools.
1t probably is true that the
law provides that the school
board may enforce some such
regulation, on purely ''non-resi-
ont and non-property holding
individuals. but we do not be-
heve 1t ever contemplated dou-
bic taxing an individual, who
owns property within school
district, which his family occu-
pies while schooling his child
ren, though he derives his in
come from a farm or ranch out
side such district, and in dong so
be legally classified as a resident
of the outside" district.
Quite recently two examples
of this injustice came to our at
tentlon, and in both cases the in
dividuals were large property
owners in this city, one of them
in particular. having property
interests amounting to thous-
ands of dollars upon which he
pays annually a very substan-
tial SCHOOL TAX, but in addi-
ton thereto was forced to pay
thirty or forty dollars more, moi
withstanding the fact that his
family resides here.
II is a short sighted policy,
that will discourage the pros
pective home builder and new
resident The income to the
school board is SO trivial in the
aggregate, as TO be more than
off set by the hard feeling en-
gendered.

Town Burns; 1000 sheep Poisoned.

flock of 5000 sheep belonging to Har-
old Chambers of Hartzell were dead in
the pens Saturday morning when the
herders entered to care for them. Dur

the evidence Is that the animals were
poisoned. Saturday night. after work

they had overcome the epidemic and
will be able to save the others. Mr..
Chambers believes that the sheep
were poisoned. This is the third loss
