striking Hale in the face, with
the result that one hundred and
six shot were picked from his

The trouble arose over a crop
Hale had offered the Davis child

GOV. ROBERTS
MAKES ADDRESS
Before People of Sequatchie
Valley at Fair Friday
Sgt. York Unable to
Be Present.

Fridav was the closing day OF
the Sequachee Valley Fair, and
was attended by a mob of people
anxious to meet Gov. Roberts
and Sgt. York. Gov. Roberts
addressed the people at 1:3O, but
Sgt. York was unable to attend,
owing to the illness of his wife,
much to the disappointment OF
the people, who were expecting
to give him a great ovation. Gov.
Roberts address was we'll recelv-
ed and he was accorded frequent
and hearty applause.
At the commencement OF his
speech, eulogizing the boys who
fought in Franch, he said that all
the boys were due the everlast-
ing gratitude of the people, and
that other Tennesseans would
have done the same as Sgt. York
if given a chance. He spoke OF
the great strides to secure a more
equable tax adjustment in the
state, and urged for higher edu,
cation, as the only way to solve
national unrest, or to put down
the growing menace of bolshev'
ism, which is really ignorance
He scored bolshevism and an
archy heavily speaking in plalr
terms of their iniquities.
He eulogized the state and ma
tion, and said that with power
comes opportunity, and that nov
thru the sacrifices of the boys
who drove back the Hindenburt
line, we must continue to hold oul
proud place among nations.
He spoke of the back to TN
farm movement as the correct
idea, and said that the city wa
the breeder of discomfort in a ma
ton rarely ever heard in the ru
raj districts. He urged for pa
triotism towards state and natiol
as the best evidence of true A
mericanism. He spoke of Presl
dent Wilson as a great president
whose influence was not confine
to his own country alone, but in
