FARMERS ARE
USING LIME
MANY HUNDRED TONS TO BE
PUT ON BLoUNT COUNTY
FARMS THIS YEAR
BOYS AND GIRLS OF PIG CLUB
HAVE REGISTERED STOCK
FOR SEASONS EFFORTS

Elmo Ellington, of Knox county
has moved his lime crusher over tt
Wildwood, and will crush lime fol
Jim Harris, and Mr.. Peery. There
are number of other farmers Of
that community who will use the
rock this season.
Floyd and Edd Russell of Louisville
are preparing to start their lime
crusher within the next few days
They will begin crushing at home, anC
will use 800 to $50 tons of crushed
rock this season.
Why not get every lime crusher in
the county busy this season? Mer
are wanting lime in every community
OF the county, and the only way some
of them can get it is to get the rock
crushed that is now in their fields
hindering their operations. The
favorable effects of ground or crush
ed limestone is evident in practically
every community of the county.
Even where limestone rock outcrops
in the fields, the application of pulver-
lied rock is needed. The lime in the
soil has been leaehed out and as a
result there is a more or less acid
condition which must be corrected
before clovers can be successfully
grown. Then, too, quite bit of acid
phosphate has been used in this
county, and the residue from this
mineral tends to leave the soil more
and more acid, until it is impossible
to get the best results from the use
Of this phosphate without using lime
to correct the aeidity. Lime is not a
fertilizer. III is dlly nAtraIizer, or
corrector. IL Swaefens the soil and
allows the elements present to be
used to better advantage, and per-
mits the bacteria which are so essen
tial for the growth of clover and
alfalfa to thrive. We may ertilize,
we may rotate our crops, but we will
not get very far in building up our
lands until we get the lining habit.
You know the effect of sulphuric or
nitric acid on person or an animal
if brought in contact with it. The
soil acids act on the bacteria of the
soil in a similar way, especially those
friendly bacteria which enable us to
grow clovers. With conditions made
favorable for the growing of clovers,
we can build our soils very cheeply
to high state Of fertility.

METHODISTS
PLAN DRIVE
CAMPAIGN NEXT WEEK TO co
OVER TOP IN DRIVE FOR
$51, 900.
WILL COMPLETE CHURCH FUND
AND CENTENARY DRIVE IN
ONE WEEK.

The Methodist Episcopal church Of
Maryville will next week stage one
of the largest campaigns over put OF
in Maryville. Organization for this
drive is being effected this week
and F. w. Atkin, who was director
for this territory in the Centenary
campaign, is assisting in directing the
campaign. The Methodist church
has already, through committee con
sisting of D. F. Young and D. r
Goddard raised something like
$4,000 for the new church building
which is to be erected soon. Of q
membership of 481 only about one
seventh of the members have been
visited in the solicitation, however,
so that the minimum amount set,
$40 900 would have been easily at
tanned in the final solicitation.
However, last Sunday, F. w. Atkin,
who was director for this territory in
the Centenary campaign, and who
still devotes two days week to that
work, came to Maryville, and pre-
sented the Centenary cause. The
officials, after hearing his argument,
decided to raise the church's quota,
which is $1,000, only about half
what it was first placed at, and plan
big campaign next week to put
this over with the completion of the
building fund, making a minimum
total of $4,000. The church had
planned to defer the Centenary
drive until after the new church had
been completed.
Mr.. Atkin is layman. He is a
member Of the National Cash Peg
ipteN corapauy and tan aeropSane
manufacturer. He is working at
the job because he loves it, and has
spent several months in the Metho-
dist Centenary drive without pay.
A handsome salary was offered him,
which he accepted, and when he had
closed tie contract he gave back the
salary to the Methodist Centenary
fund. He is a prominent churchman
throughout Methodism and will have
a message next Sunday morning that
will interest every man and woman
of the city. He is not a preacher,
but he will make you want to get
more pep into your church and reli-
gious life if you hear him.
Be present Sunday morning and
hear a great talk. The chorus choir,
under direction of W. C. Goddard,
will have a musical program we'll
worth hearing.
The Methoist Church has 481
members. Only II have so far sub
scribed to the fund, said the COM
mittee, which was out only two or
three days, and the final canvas has
not yet been made. Of the more
than 400 not yet visited, with some
who may raise their subs o"ipti ms, It
is expected more than 100000 will
be subscribed.
Four teams of ten each, under
the direction of Mr.. Atkin and R. R.
Kramer, will canvas the membership.
Mr.. Atkin will arrive from Jack
sonville, Fla, Saturday afternoon.

VIOLATORS
ARE FINED
STATE PURE FOOD INSPECTOR
VISITS MARYVILLE AND IS
SUES SEVERAL WARRANTS.
UNLESS THERE IS MORE I'M
PRoVEMENT MAN WILL BE
PUT HERE PERMANENTLY.

w. C. Robertson, of Chattanooga
state pure food Inspector, visited
Maryville this week, and made in
spection of stores, restaurants
drink stands and other places where
food stuffs are sold. Mr.. Robertson
said there had been some improve
ment in conditions since his last
visit here, especially in grocery
stores. However, he said there is
room for further improvement in
some of them. Warrants were is
sued for several parties who dispense
foodstuffs and drinks, some who
were cited the former trip in March
being cited second time. The in
spector said that warrant is never
issued the third time, that when a
repeated violation is found, nui-
sance bill is issued after the second
warrant has been issued.
Mr.. Robertson wants to emphasize
to dealers in foodstuffs that his de-
partment, Of which Harry L. Eskew,
of Nashville, is commissioner, is not
to hurt any one in business, but to
help them to make their business
conditions and surroundings more
sanitary and give square deal to
every one He said that unless
there is further improvement in
Maryville man will be placed with
headquarters here, and inspections
will be made daily of places which
persist in not complying with the
laws concerning pure food and fair
measure.
The Inspector said that many COM
plants had been filed with the de-
partment by citizens of Maryyilie
concerning slaughter house located
near the town. He instructed that
this place be cleaned up. This is
the second notice given there.
The Inspector told of his former
visit here when he found that not
only unsanitary conditions prevailed
in some stores, but that in one in
stance he found that short weights
in sugar or coffee were being is-i
sued, the difference being quite
considerable in the amount given and
the amount supposed to have been
purchased. Mr.. Robertson said that
the department had figured out that
a variance of one ounce in a pound
of butter, below the sixteen ounces,
would mean loss of three-quarters
of million dollars to the people of
the state within twelve months.
The work of the department is 20
remedy conditions which work to the
disadvantage of the man selling food
stuffs, because it hurts a mans
business to sell short weights or I'M
sanitary foods.
Mr.. Robertson said he wanted to
commend those who have made i'm
provement in their places since mis-
last visit here. He said that Mary.
vile has some places as we'll kept rs
he finds anywhere while there are
others, especially small eating places
and drink stands, which must be i'm
proved.

be taken back to Jail. He lifted his
mother and carrying her on his arm,
he wended his way through the cor
ridors of the court house and back to
prison. Only few days left for
him to live, but during those few
days he knew he could never erase
from the heart and brow of that
mother the deep cut burrows which
his misconduct had brought to her.
At the Jail, the mans mother pray
ed for forgiveness for her son. The
wife of the defendant and his child
rem went to see him. Emotion took
hold of him, and he seemed to realize
that in the undoing of himself, the
great loss was not that which he must
suffer, but the sorrow that has come
to his loving mother and wife and
children, who must go through life
fatherless, with none but a mother
to guide their footsteps in ways of
righteousness and peace.
White will be taken to the Knox
county Jail where he will be kept
until the supreme court shall have
acted on his case.
Bad Record
White did not take the witness
stand in the hearing. No witnesses
for him were introduced. White has
a record of being bad character,
and has served some time in the
penitentiary before. However, his
character nor his record could play
any part in this hearing as he was
not placed on the stand, and this did
not come into the matter of the trial,
as the case was tried only on proof
submitted and the law. So that the
hearing was unprejudiced and i'm
partial, and no story of his past re-
cord was unfolded in the court.
The jury which tried the case was
composed of Charley Young, R. w.
Irwin, John Riddle, ]. c. Taylor, J..
R. Harris, J. P. Tedford, r. H. Hanna,
J. J. Whetsell, John Peery, J. T.
