Water and tho Human Body.

The specific gravity Of water and
the human body Is virtually the same.
A body In the water Ia supported by
equal pressure at all points. II Ia
more likely to be at ease than under
other circumstances. II Is, therefore,
more likely that 1t may move with
out pain. go orfpples are often given
thsdr exercise IN the water.

UNKNOWN PARTIES
ABANDON BABE
Told Mr.. and Mrs. D. R
Thomas They Would Call
For 1t In an Hour
But Never Re.
turned.

Jasper, Oct. 24.-Two we'll
dressed parties in an automobile,
which is said to have the Arkau-
Sas auto license tag on it, drove up
to the residence of D. r. Thorn
as near this place and left an in.
fant at the house, saying they
would be back in an hour for it.
They never returned, but left in
the direction of Sequatchie, en-
route apparently for Nashville.
However, at the foot of Cumber-
land mountain near here they
were turned back with the in
formation that the road across
Cumberland was impossible. and
returned in the direction of Chat
tanooga. They are said to have
crossed Tennessee River in that
direction, but the ferryman, Ar.
thur Coins, says he put the same
parties back across for third
time later in the day, the woman
in the car being disguised with a
different hat.
1t was evident when the par
ties, man and a woman, reach
ed the home of Thomas that they
intended then to abandon the in
FAINT. Mrs. Ben Parker, of near
Inman, had stopped at the Thorn
as home to avoid the rain, and
was there when the automobile
drove up, and suspected at once
that it was intended to abandon
the infant, and told Mrs. Thomas
that she suspected abandonment
was contemplated. Mrs. Thomas
said that she would look out, but
the woman who had brought tho
infant from the automobile evil
IDENTIFY suspected that she was
under suspicion, and leaving the
infant in Mrs. Thomas arms, said
she would go out on the porcn
and get a grip she had brought
from the car. She went for the
grip all right, but instead of
bringing it to the room hastily
went to the car with the grip
and in second the parties were
gone.

TEN YEARS
Convicted of Rape on Person
of Rosa Davis, Bledsoe

convicted of rape on the person

tiary. The verdict was rendered
from a jury secured from some
80 citizens. The trial was held
before Judge John T. Raulston

most sensational in character.
The prosecuting attorney, Ben
G. Mckenzie, was assisted by M.
N. Whitaker. of Chattanooga,
and S. l.. Robertson, of Pikeville,
while the defense was conducted
by T. P. Shepherd, of Chatta-
nooga, |. B. Swafford, of Dayton
and E. E. Henry, of Pikeville.

WHEN HUNTING
SEASON OPENS
Regulations for Marion and
Adjacent Counties.

Those who hunt upon the lands
of another in any section of the
State are required to have a
hunters license, and if they hunt
upon the enclosed or tillable
lands of another, they must also
have the written permission of
the land owner.
The real hunter does not vio-
late the law by attempting to
hunt without license and the
written permission of the land
owner, but there are few men
in almost every community who
call themselves sportsmen, but
who pay no attention to the law.
Such men have no respect for
the rights of others, and seem to
take a delight in creating an un-
pleasant feeling between the
landowner and the sportsman.
If the sportsmen and farmers
will report such fellows to the
Department of Game and Fish,
they will promptly be prosecuted.
The open season is as follows:
Waterfowl, Except swans,
woodducks and elder ducks) coots,
gallinules and jacksnipe, Nov. l.
Jan. 81. Black breasted and
golded plover, and greater and
lesser yellowlegs, Sept. 1-Dec-15.
Quail, Nov. 15-Dec. 81.
Exceptions in Bledsoe, Cum
berland, Grundy, Marion, Sc
quatchie and Van Buren. Nov. l.
Feb. 1 Bradley, Campbell, Frank
lin, Giles, Henry, Hickman.

DISLIKE POOR
MAIL SERVICE
Sealed Mail Pouch Service
From Chattanooga Is a
Very Poor Service.

Sequatchie Valley people are
very sore,over the present mail
Accommodations from Chattanooga
in the morning and from upper
valley points in the afternoon.
Soon after the beginning of the
war the mail car and clerk ac-
companying it was taken off the
train and since then the morning
mail arrives in sealed pouches
from Chattanooga only, thrown
off by the train men, and there
is no return mail from upper
valley points except by sealed
pouches to Chattanooga only.
This makes it impossible to get a
letter to Nashville except it go
to Chattanooga first, some fifty
miles out of the way, with much
delay thereby, outside of the
time lost in transporting. Fur
thermore, mail communications
with upper valley points is only
via evening train from Chatta-
nooga. In other words the
morning passenger is the only
train to carry mail car and clerk,
and all other business must go to
Chattanooga first for distribution.
This is a sore spot IN the hearts
of Sequatchie Valley business
men which has ranked for some
time and they are uncertain
whether to charge it up to the
Burleson economy in postoff1ce
management, or u. S. Railroad
Administration economy. but
anyway it is a great inconven-
fence.

When she handed the infant to
Mrs. Thomas to take care of for
an hour" she handed her also a
bottle of milk on which she said
to feed it. The infant, a nice
looking girl baby. was poorly
dressed and evidently less than
two weeks old, as it was still
sWathed in bandages.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas have not
decided as yet what they will do
with the infant, though they are
justly incensed over the peculiar
method adopted to put an un-
known infant off on them, but
declare that they will not resort
to the inhuman method adopted
by these parties. They adopted
a baby boy from the Nashville
Orphans Home some years ago,
and declare that they will adopt
this little stranger rather than
let it go uncared for. 1t is evi-
dent that the parties knew the
child would have a good home,
for they asked on driving up if
this was the home of Mr.. Thomas
and had evidently been making
before hand.

Jasper Stirling for
Cement Plant
Repatriating Prisoners.

Jasper, Oct. 27. Jasper citi-
zens are inaugurating campaign
to secure the establishment of a
cement plant at this place, or
near it. Fine beds of limestone
exist in Cumberland mountain to
the west of this place on the
same strata as the famous beds
at Richard City, where limestone
and the necessary shale are cock
istent. 1t is said that at one
time Jasper could have had the
present Dixie Portland Cement
plant at Richard City if it had
not been for the action of some
of its citizens wIo opposed the
location of such a plant there on
the ground that a manufactur-
ing plant, such as a cement plant,
would be a detriment to the nat
ural beauty of the place, and that
they preferred an educational
center, such as it was then, to a
business or industrial center.
With the lapse of time this
feeling has worn away, and now
Jasper is as anxious as any live
East Tennessee town to secure
all the development possible, and
its citizens are now anxiously
awaiting the outcome of the move
on foot, which is now widely dis
cussed as a rumor, to secure the
establishment of a cement plant
near the place. Those who are
on the inside in the matter are
keeping very quiet as to their
plans so as to avoid any chance
of interference, as experience
with the establishment of their
hosiery mill now in the process of
erection, has shown them that
outside influences were eager
and ready to wreck their enter
prise by every means possible,
fair or foul. They established
their hosiery mill under great
disadvantages. and in the face of
a statement by outside parties
that it was useless to establish
such plant in their city, for
their citizens would not work and
outside help would not come in. |
But the fact is that their hosiery
mill will start in about 80 days /
with as fine a body of workers as
were ever collected at the start
ing up of a plant. .The.promoters
of the cement plant project feel
the same way over the project,
viz, that establishing a cement
plant will bring workers to their
city and mean the buying of lots
and the erection sof houses for
their occupancy. and that by not
establishing such a plant they
will never secure that increased
growth.
