BOWERS BILL KILLED.

Last week Governo, A. H. Roberts
signed the bill passed by the legisla-
ture repeating the Bowers bill.
The Bowers bill was pas ed few
years ago. through the work of q big
grocery man Of Memphis. backed by a
lot of sickly sentinentality. TIE
Bowers bill did away with capital
punishment and since it became law
several cuIprits ESCAPED the moose Of
the hangmxn through 1t. Two years
ago an act was passsd by the legisla-
ture intending to kill the Bowers bill
and reinstate capital punishment. but
the bill was defective and the bill of
last week as go drawn that no doubt
could exist as to its constitutionaiity.
It will again bs lawful TO hang men
for the two crimes of willful murder
and rape: the last named offense was
not repealed by the Bowers. bill

new ADDITION TO STORE.
Reed & Smith Breaking Ground for New
Building 30x90 Feet.

Reed Il Smith put force of men to
work Monday morning excsvating tor
a new brick building adjoining their
present store on the north. Chas.
Flynn has the contract for excavating
and will probably lay the foundation as
he is very skilled in that line of work.
1he new building will be 30 x 80 feet
and will be used as the grocery depart
ment. The present frame building,
where the grocery store now is, will be
torn down as fire protection n easure.
That will leave an ooen space of some
30 feet between the iced store Uf Bur-
nett & Haley and the present building
of Reed d Smith.
In building the room now under con-
struction, the north wall Of the dry
goods department will be utilized,
thereby saving the expence of one
wall. When the building is completed
Messers Reed & Smitn will have the
largest and most up-to date general
store in the county and enc that
would be credit to a town much
larger than Crossville.

NEXT BOND CALL
Expected NeA April and Will Probably
Be for Five Billion Dollars.

Through the four bond issues floated
by the government since May. 1917.
the government raised nearly II bill
ions of dollars. This vast sum was
mainly used in futhering our war
movem ents with the very gratifying
outcome Of bringing the war to an
end within a little over 18 months
from the time we entered the conflict.
Now that the actual fighting IS over
we must not feel that the need for
money is at an end, far from it. Large
sums will be needed to get our boys
home and meet the multitude of sx-
pepses that cannot % avoided until our
troops are all discharged.
Another loan 10 to be called In April
and the amount will be for Five Bill
lions, one billion less than the last
loan.
Every indication pionts to the neces-
sity of the wealthy men of the coun.
try, who have made vast fortunes out
of the war, oeing the ones who will
take the larger part Of the loan for
the common people have had their re-
sources practically exhausted BY pre-.
vious bond issues.

ALBERTSON-COPE.
Prof. A. ], Aibertson Takes for His
Bride Mrs. {. B. Cope.

A wave of pleasant surprise swept
over this community early in the week
when it became known that Prof. A.
J. Albertson and Mrs. Enelia B. Cope
had been quietly married at the home
of the bride, Highlard Park, Chatta-
nOoga, Saturday night by Rev. 7. S.
McCallie.
The bride was engaged last year in
this county in home economics work
and has been returned again for this
year. Her work last year was of a
very high order and the splendid ser
vice she rendered in bringing TO pro-
nounced success or county fair, along
with the great energy shown in
getting an exhibit from this county
displayed at the Chattanooga District
Fair, particularly marked her as a
most capable organizer and woman
of rare force and ability. The tact
that she is to be directing the home
economics work in the county this year
will be a source of much satisfaction
to many over the County.
Prof. A. J. Albertson has been con-
nected with school work for many
years in this, t'entress and Morgan
couties. He is now teaching in the
county high school for the third year
and has II any friends here. At the
last quarterly term of county court he
was elected county superintendent and
the fact that his wife is working in
home economics will enable both of
them to render valiant service since
the two lines of work will GO SO we'll
together.
Monday nisht large mum Der Of the
high school students and young people
of the town went to their home at the
high school dormitory and gave them q
rousiDg welcome in the old fashiond
way with q multitude of noisy instru-
ments. They were invited in and
given pleasant welcome by the
bride and groom. after which all left
for their homes wishing Prof. Albert
son and wife unbounded happiness
their life companionship.

BENEFITS OF PROHIBITION
Outweigh Greatly Any Injury That Can
Possibly Come Later.

Those who are inclined to complain
on the score of infringement of per.
sonal liberty, would do well to forget
that phase OF the subject and to re-
member what prohibition is going to
mean in hundreds of thousands OF
homes.
To oe sure that growing boys and
young IL en- are hsnceforth to be prac-
tically tree from the dangers of the
drink evil. 10 a great gain for society.
The economic benefit that will accrue
to homes and to communities as q whole
will be almost teyond computation.
We are not dealing with a question
that is now open to argument but are
referring to one that was settled last
month. so that Any further discussion
becomes academic.
Those who do not like the idea of
prohibition must accept he inevitable !;
yet we are inclined to think that they
will change their minds when they see
the good that will surely follow the
closing of saloons and bars.
The capital and energy that have
gone into the making of intoxlcants
will find ample opportunity in various
other fields.
The prohibition wave has been ad-
vancIng in this country for nmber Of
years. So that everybody connected
with the business of distilling and
brewing, and with the retail liquor
trade, has had ample warning and long
opportunity to prepare for decision
that is not destined to be rsconsidered.
In 10 small measure, getting rid of
alcoholic beverages and the habits they
engender, is like eliminating certain
forms of prevalent disease. 1t IS sani-
tary progress. ply sically and morally.

FROM KANSAS OIL FIELDS.
Fate Horn Gives Interesting Glimpse Of
That Great Region.

The following letter from Fate Horn
gives an interesting glimpse of the oil
field. where he has been working for
some months:
Augusta. KanFas, Jan. 28th, 1919.
"Chronicle Publishing Co..
"Crossville, Tenn.
Dear Editor: AS have been in
Kansas now eighteen months, thought
might tell of snme things that per-
haps might interest those back home.
"lf you mentally picture yourselves
on an open Kansas plain. and looking
In any direction, your eyes meet what
swept by fire, would say you are
nearing the oil fields, and not the great
northern forests.
Now let US investigate further !:
As we walk toward what at first
seemed to be a, great tree stripped of
its branches, we find We are approach
ing an oil derrick, measuring IA feet in
height with 20 foot base, and as we
stand on the floor of the derrick and
hear the moan of the heaVy y.beam ss it
pumps from a well from $500 feet in
depth, between on and two hundred
barrels of oil per day, we begin to
realize what it means to own land pro-
ducing oil.
However the cost of production is
not small as each we'll IN our field Is
drilled at cost of from forty to fifty
thousand dollars; and not in all cases
is oil prodcued.
Zine reou red in drilling the well
to the above mentioned depth is about
forty days from the time material Is
on the ground.
1.-THE wells heretofore described are
very common, this you will agree to
when l say one can stand at our Office
and looking toward the west, and
count more than three hundred of these
derrIcks.
1.-THE we'll known as the Rusher,
however, is not SO common. although
We have a number now in our field.
BY the way OF explanation, one of our
leases. known as the Eyenhart lease.
recently produced q gusher flowing |
20, 600 barrels per cay. Hundreds Of
people have visited this lease. and in |
fact, visit our fields every day.
"Chas. jackson and l, tusing a Kan

have both learned considerable regard
ing the business. You will appreciate
this atcr if you will stop to think there
are some five hundred parts to the rig
alone. Our yard contains over one
million dollars worth of materisl. not
Including COR machine shops. black
