which come to their notice.
The bill which passed the House as
an emergency measure, abolishes the
Office of state prohibition commission.

official upon the state sheriff.
All county sheriffs and deputies are
made a state constabulary, under sup

subject to call to any part of the
state In case of their need for carrying
out the enforcement of law, and are
entitled to five dollars a day and ex-
penses while out of their counties on
such duty.
If the Senate accepts the House
amendment declaring this to be an
emergency measure the new appoint
ment will be made within short
time, and the department will be in
working order before the prohibitory
law goes into effect the first of next
July.

an eyesore in the next primary cleo

bill which requires the names to be
rotated in the different counties in q
manner which will give each Of the
different candidates first place in part
Of the counties, and in cases where
there are but two candidates for any
particular office each will be first in
half the counties of the state and sec.

leaves the House at 103 members, and

SALE OF PURE
BRED SHORTHORNS

The first annual sale to be held
under the auspices of the East
Tennessee Shorthorn Breeders
association was held at Temple
Hall, state agricultural station,
Thursday at one p. m. Fifty-one
pure bredanimals were sold at
an aggregate of $8,645, which is
an average of $172.90.

were entered by East Tennessee
owners, except an exhibition
from Lespedeza farm of West
Tennessee.
Previous to the sale, Col. Scale

es to the gathering. Col. Scale
emphasized the value of the
shorthorn, which, he said, for
their conformity, size and milk
producing ability are the finest
breed of beef cattle in the world.
He asserted also that by reason
of it's climate and of the excel
lent pastures of East Tennessee,
this section is the most admira-
bly, adapted to the raising of the
breed of any section on the globe

to flow in that region may have
found another outlet. The par
ticular stream which those per-
sons had in mind somes to the
surface at several places in that
country forming as it appears
small lakes which at places fur
ther on find their way into the
earth again. Whether this state
ment will stand the test cannot
be ascertained until something
more definite is known. This will
not be made possible until after
an investigation.
Not very far from the place
of the flood are two small creeks,
the only streams near at all, and
these have been swollen consid-
erably by the recent rains and
have not yet receded to the nor
NAL depth. But these streams,
swollen as they are, are not near
enough to the new lake to have
had a part in causing it.
