Few Facts
About Shields
(Adverlisemsn)t

Crump, Of Shelby, House, Of Dav-
idson and Shields Of Tennessee; all
the forces Of corruption are assem-
bled under one banner. The people
know their senators by the company
they keep.
Shields thinks the State of Tennes
see consists only Of four counties,
these are Shelby, Davidson, Hamil-
ton and Knox. That is why he has
been careful to see that the daily pal
7ers Of these counties support him.
He has a lesson coming to him on the
first day Of August, when we viii hear
from the 'rural deestricts."
The rural counties always have
fought the forces Of corruption, and
Shields espoused their cause until he
attained his ambitions Now he
scorns the ladder by which he rose
to fame and allies himself with the
vicious elements of the state.
If Shields is such strong sup
porter of President Wilson's admin
istration, why did he espouse the
cause of Stahlman, that Hun of Ma
tive Birth, that apologist for the
crimes of the Germans, that excuser
for the crucifers Of women and chill
dren, that advocate of autocratic gov
eminent? Possibly is was the au-
tocratic spirit in Shields that sought
him as supporter. Had Stahlman
not owned a paper of considerable
circulation, would Shields have shown
himself SO solicitous as to Stahlman's
position?
People assert your power by voting
for Rye your only representative.
Shields has not been in the good old
county Of Greene for eight years.
Does that look like he cared a corpo-
RAILS damn as to what the people Of
this county thought or desired. All
he wants is your votes, and if he can
count enough in the big city counties
TO offset your votes, he does not care
for your votes. Crump, Howse g.
Co. will see that he is nominated, If
there is a small majority against him.
Better see that the majority is so
large they dare not try to overcome
it with their corruption forces.

Mr.. THAcKER's CARD

! regret to say that while it has
been impossible for me to canvass the
County in my behalf for Register,
owing to the fact that have no one
who understands the work in my alb
sence, as many Of you know, and Of
course the office must be kept open.
The stamp act, relating to deeds and
other Instruments demands close at
tention, and am held responsible
should anything 90 wrong Yet ]
have seen many voters and expect to
see more-however, ask the support
and influence of all those whom ]
have not seen just the same, and as
sure you it will be very much appre-
eiated by me. Of course many Of
you know me and know how ! have
conducted the office and the inter-
est ! have taken in the work, giving
lit my personal attention, pointing
out any errors which sometimes ex-
list in Acknowledgements to deeds and
other instruments, before receiving
same for record, giving, the owners a
chance to have these errors correct
cd, as sometimes certain errors rem
der these instruments fatally defec-
tive. Then seeing when spread of
record they read exactly as the origi-
nal, and too, keeping the records
where they belong, in this way, al !.
ways trying to avoid any question and
possibility Of future litigation for all.
When this war is over, the Greatest
conflict the world has ever known,
there win probably be more searching
of records than usual, to find out who
under certain conditions is the right
full owners of different property, from
the fact that there will perhaps be
some Of our noble boys who may new
er return, which thought we all de-
plore. Yet we all hope that it will be
possible for each one to get back
home safe, who has gone, and are
now SO calamity fighting; and the
same can be truthfully said Of those
who are yet to go and help fight the
battles for maintenance Of Liberty,
Peace, and for their homes, and orr
homes, and to protect the American
Flag, always keeping it floating in
the gentle breeze, the staff of which
is planted on the possessions Of the
United States of America, in many
places, upon whose domains it is said
the sun never ceases to shine.
In conclusion, ! wish to say that /
am aware Of the fact, that as an Of
fetal ! have gained the admiration of
many warm personal and influential
friends, regardless Of politice, of
which am justly proud, and that
when on August 1st you cast your
ballot, / ask each and all to give me
your support. If elected, / promise
20 give to all the same courteou
treatment in the future as in the past.
Having had the experience ! have, not
only qualities me to give as good SER

Street Car Men
Win.
Without Striking In Pitts
burg.

Are we getting paid for what we
do? What are we getting for our
work?
| These are some of the questions the
local car men are asking themselves
since reading of the gains made by
their Pittsburg brothers. About a
year ago when the car men on the
local street railway went on strike
for increased wages, some people
thought they were asking for too
much, while fully ninety per cent of
the riding public ridiculed them for
the small amount they demanded,
asking why they didn't demand at
least living wages The men said,
however, that they would be satisfied
with the amount asked for The com
pany held off about five days and then
granted the demand.
1t is believed now that the com
pany was only holding cut at the
time to give their employees time to
think it over, hoping they would have
nerve enough to ask for at least
enough to live on. This the men
tailed to do and the company not
glshing to discommode the travelling
public, whose welfare and interest
hey have so near to their hearts,
sranted the demands.
This is what they gave and are now
paying. a seven-year scale of "a to
cents. That is, "a cents an hour
Tor the first year and one cent an
hour increase each year for seven
years, when they shall receive 80
cents an hour Think Of it, the first
year man putting in eight hours a
day will receive $192 a day Some
wages, what?
Here is what the Pittsburg boys
got last week and they didn't have
to strike to get it. First 6 months,
81 cents; second months, 80 cents;
second year, Al cents; third year ard
after, 45 cents. These are hour rates.
Hence the questions: care we getting
paid for what we do, and what are we
getting for our work ?"
We might add that here is another
one of the reasons why SO many work
ers are leaving Hamilton.

the meeung mouse, just across the

bride became hysterical and her broth

whispers ran about that if the great

the whole front of the house; perhaps
Amos was killed or pinned under the
