CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
The Vote Will Likely be Light
Unless a Change Comes.

The election to be held in Tea
nessee Thursday, September 4,
does not promise to be a very ex-
citing affair. This election is to
determine whether or not a state
constitutional convention shall be
held. Those who have not paid
their poll taxes tor last year will
not be privileged to vote as the
time expired last Monday to quail
ify for this election by paying poll
tax. To vote in an election in
Tennessee one must pay their poll
tax not less that thirty days prior
to the day of election.
The advocates Of a constitutional
convention are strongest in the
cities and if they get oct a full
vote and the country people fail
to vote, as the indications point
now they will do, the proposition
may carry. In the previous cleo
tions on this question the country
votes have defeated the measure.

GREAT GAS WELL
Thousands OF Pounds Of Tools
Blown Into Air

A special from Dickson to Tues
days Tennessean gave the follow,
ing story about the finding Of gas
while boring for oil:
Considerable excitement prevails
in Dickson and surrounding COM
munity TODAY over the striking of
a big gas we'll by the Tuxbury Oil
4 Refining Company, who have of
flee headquarters here, at Cumber-
land Furnace, ia the north end of
Dickson county, today about noon.
So great W IS the volume and force
or the gas that it lifted the tools,
weighing 5000 pounds. clear out
of the hole, and then b gan spout
ing stones and rock as big as hen
eggs all over the landscape.
1t was necessary for the men
working on the well to shut off all
the fires in the boiler and black
smith forge and shut down the
drilling until the gas either blows
itself off or until they get in ma
terial with which ia shut it off. It
is understood that if they can get
rid of the gas they will drill on
down deeper for oil, which pro.
duct they were seeking when the
drill entered the gas flow.
The gas was found at about 300
feet, and oil men now on the field
state that it is a certain indication
of an oil field in this county. The
news of the big gas flow was her.
aided with much interest and en-.
thusiasm by oil men and prominent
business citizens alike OF Dickson
and community, and many rushed
Ia automobiles to the scene of the
drilling to witness the blowing of
of the gas. There has been consider
able prospecting for oil in Dicl sln
county, especially for the past e7-
ralmoBths, and no doubt the dc.
velopments, as reported from the
north end of the county this noon,
will give an imp etus to oil drilling
in this county.

How S52 Grew

A special from jackson says:
'R. E. Jones, a young farmer 16
years old. Of the Mercer neigh
borhood, has made a wonderful
success the past two years in the
raising of Duroc hogs. From a
gilt purchased through a local
bank here two years ago, for
which the bank took his note for
$50, be has realized a little more
than 81, 900 and has on hand $3.50
in addition to the mother SOW,
which he values at $3.50. This
shows the possibilities of the gains
ia high-grade live stock"
What young Jones did in Madi-
son county can be done by our
farmer boys in Carroll county.
There is money in raising thor
oughbred hogs and more of our
boys than do should engage In the
business.
