Jiggs, Maggie, Eft Ais, Will Be First
Of Series in Bringing Up
Father.

What promises to be an event of
unusual Importance and hilarity' is
the announcement of the coming of
Bringing UP Father In Society" the
latest Gus Hill production based IN
the popular cartoons of George Nc
Manus. This exceptional stage offer
ing will be the next attraction at
the Dixie, with the usual matinees.
In extolllng the numerous virtues
of this unique connection of mirth,
joy, gladness, happiness, melody and
song, the fact must not be forgotten
that it is an entertainment created
on lines seldom presented to an ex-
acting public. 1t has been aptly de-
scribed as "show that is different"
and the commentator, judging by
the wonderful success it has attained
wherever presented, seems more than
justified. Those who revel in coming
in close proximity with all the fav-
orite characters of this most amusing
of newspaper comics, should not miss
Father" this season. He has much
to do in his new environment and
"Society" it appears, has taken him
to its arms like the proverbial prodi-
gal son of yor The rev play is in
three acts, and employs cast of ov-
er forty people.

OFFICIAL COUNT
NOT YET READY;
STORY WINNER
Most Enthusiastic Election
In Henry County For
Several Years.
A. A. GRUBBS is
NOMINATED TRUSTEE
Henry Morton Wins Out In
Circuit Court Clerk Race;
Anderson Assessor.

Official figures are still not availa-
BILE for last Saturdays Democratic
primary election for county officers,
and all the returns have not been re-
ceived complete at headquarters.
However, the election committee of
which Frank Bryant is chairman, with
w. D. Cooper and l.. B. King, will
meet tomorrow, Saturday, when it is
expected the count will be finally
made. Z
According to unofficial returns,
however, the difference in count is
such that there is no question about
the selected ticket being Amos Story
for sheriff; A. A. Grubbs, for trus-
tee; Henry Morton, for circuit court
clerk; j. Frank Anderson, tax asses
sor; and Joe Routon, county superin-
tendent of public instruction.
According to these returns Amos
Story won out for sheriff over J. L..
Holden by about 200 votes. He. re-
ceived 400 votes more than w. E.
Etheridge, the third aspirant.
Albert A. Grubbs, for trustee, had
as next contender Frank Ross, de-
featihg him by some 400 votes. The
third place in the trustee race is
close between John Wesley Moody
and Byron q. Lemons. Tharpe and
Hartsfeld ran 9Th and 9Th, respec-
lively.
Henry Morton, now occupying the
clerks chair in the circuit court Of
flee won permanency for full term
by defeating Esq. Sam Cross by a
bout 1000 votes. And, j. Frank An
derson left Jack Thompson, Jr., M.
U. Yarbrough and A. w. Oliver at
the post in the race for tax assessor.
Mr.. Anderson's majority over Thomp-
son, who was second in the count,
was more than LOO votes.
The total vote polled was around
3,400, being an unusually large pri-
mary vote, and was the result of the
close finish that developed in sight in
two or three of the races i'm the home
stretch. Friends of the candidates
who were thought to have chance in
the final running assembled during
the last week of the campaign, and
things were warm for several days.
The first district, Paris box, polled
900 votes, the larges vote ever crowd
ed in the local box.

Henry Countians Asked To
Respond With Heart and

The Third Red Cross Roll Call
Nov. to IL, summons every citizen
to respond with heart and dollar
to meet Humanity's peace-time needs
in the spirit Of Americanism.
DR.. |. A. McSwain is Roll Call
chairman for the county, and in con-
junction with J. J. B. Johnsonius,

County's last Red Cross Roll mem
bership totaled 5000 members.
The Henry County Chapter, A. R.
c., made splendid war record. The
$4,000 quota assigned them for the
second war fund campaign was dou-
bled, $4,000 being sent. Under the
faithful and enthusiastic leadership
Of Mrs. H. G. McNeill, the Woman's
Department answered every call made
upon them, and had the distinction
Of having every bit of the work sent
in to headquarters graded A class.
Mrs. w. C. Johnson, Jr., chairman

ing in her devotion to that depart
ment, giving three afternoons of each
week to the cause for over year,
and ready at all times to give cous-
sci and advice where need as well as
efficient service was needed.
The chapter now has two field nur-
SEES in he county, who for the past
several weeks, have been conducting
classes in the eyer important health
education classes in the county. These
classes have been largely attended
and will certainly show beneficial re-
suits later.
Every call for aid or needed help
has been promptly answered by the
home chapter, and because of this,
every member of the Roll Call Com
mittee is confident that there will be
5000 men and women in the county
who will be proud to wear the little
button, - ean
One way of looking at it, is that
twill cost only two cents a week to
iy. help keep burning he light of
love and comfort and cheer, of SER
vice TO humanity, Such a light gleam-

out world torn and ravaged by
war, and will glow with radiant hope
for the great America at home, thru
practical service, to protect life and
health, to inspire and help in the es-
Enlistment Of q healthful, happy
home life and to aid in the broader
reconstruction and rehabilitation to
which America is pledged abroad
Therefore, Americanism calls every

FEDERAL JUDGE
HAS NO MERCY
ON PROFITEERS
Judge J. E. Mccall, -Charg-
ing Federal Grand Jury
At Jackson, Tenn.
URGES PROFITEERS
BROUGHT TO COURT
lnstructs Grand Jury Spend
Time Probing Pro6teer-
ing In Is Counties.

A scathing arraignment of profit
GERS and vigorously delivered in
structions to probe deeply into the
matter of excess charges for any
necessities of life, in this jurisdiction,
characterized the enunciations of
Judge John, E. Mccall to the federal
grand jury at Jackson, Monday
morning.
Judge Mccall spoke for nearly an
hour on the question of profiteering,
declaring that the federal govern
ment now had law with teeth that
would put an end to the abnormal
practice if it were enforced proper
ly. The judge added that it was his
utmost desire to see the profteers pay
the full penalty as prescribed by fed
eral statutes for their crimes against
humanity. He stated further that
he would rather have the grand jury
spend more of it's time probing into
the question of profiteering in any of
the 16 counties in this jurisdiction,
than in doing anything else He re-
viewed briefly the law that was pas
sed by Congress recently and became
operative only few days ago. This
law, the judge said, called for two
years Imprisonment and a maximum
fine of $4,000. Judge Mccall stated
that thic Iuoc =, ~ 400 baa.yy ,,anol+x,
for those engaged in the nefarious
practice. He stated that profiteer-
ing in its final analysis was nothing
more than common stealing. He in
sisted that any merchant who made
over 33 1-3 percent profit on clothing
was profteering in the new law;
that any shoe dealer who sold pair
of shoes For which he had paid only
Sc for over SO was profteering; that
any grocer who sold 10-cent sugar
for more than II cents was guilty
All these are amenable to the new
law, according to Judge Mccall He
most earnestly admonished the grand
jury to leave no stone unturned in
their efforts to reach all the prof.
teers. He stated that he felt like
showing as little mercy in these cas-
es as he ever did in his life.
No Pity for Pro6teers.
He intimated that if he grand iu-
ry brought the profiteers into court
he would see to it that they did not
escape the full weight of the law.
Judge McCalPs charge covered the
ground on other violations, but he
spent a large part of his time talking
in clear cut and unmistakable Ian
guage about profiteers.
Because of Judge McGall's illness
last spring there was no session of
the court, hence large docket has
resulted at this term. Attorneys
Rye, Fitzhugh, Fryer and Lewis are
present looking after several local ca

DRY MEASURE
PASSED OVER
WILSON VETO
House and Senate Re-Pass
Prohibition Enforcement
Measure.
PRESIDENTS VETO
NON-WAR EMERGENCY
Says War Emergency Had
Been Satisfied; Sound
Policy For Repeal.

Although President Wilson vetoed
the prohibition bill, because of the
non-war emergency, the House on
Monday, and the Senate en- Tuesday,
promptly over-rided the chief execu-
tive's decision and passed the meas
ure by majority of 176 to 55 in the
House and by 65 to 20 in the SEN
ate Therefore, the section of the
bill relating to war time prohibition,
becomes effective Immediately upon
the signature of the bill by the pre-
siding officers of the Senate and
House.
In defense of his failure to sign
the bill, President Wilson declared in
his message to Congress that he
deemed "sound public policy made
clear the necessity for the repeal of
the war prohibition enforcement act,
in that the rehabilitation of the army
and navy satisfied this emergency.
He called it particular" legislative
measure,
The presidents adherent's affirm
that this overriding action on the
part of Congress is unwarranted, and
arises out of "fear of the political
club, that prohibition has become,
rather than from an intense love. for
the cause"

"Meanest Man.
Robs Church

The meanest man resides in Paris,
or to be exact, the meanest person in
the town maliciously, willfully, and
perversely damaged the pipe organ at
the Presbyterian church one night of
last week, wreaking such despoila-
tion that, the special services were
held at the church on Sunday morn
ing, it was impossible to use the or
gan.
This act of vandalism was commit
ted one night after Wednesday night,
at which time prayer meeting was
held in the church All of the church
doors have Yale locks, and it is pre-
sumed that this meanest person with
a destructive vent, climbed in thru a
basement window.
This is the second time that the
church has been maliciously entered.
Several months ago, a sneak thief
stole from the Sunday School room,
the French offering box, containing
sundry dimes and nickels and pennies
intended for some little fatherless
French youngster.
Perhaps, the same wicked individ-
ual in search of further collection
which he was unable to find, spiteful-
ly pulled three pipes off the handsome
pipe organ and heinously tempered
with the mechanism of the instru-
ment.

NEGRO SHOT BY
HUMBOLDT MOB
Alleged To Have Grossly Insulted
White Woman; Jail Was Bro.
ken Open.

A dispatch from Humboldt, Tenn,
says that ON Monday morning about
two O'Clock a mob of armed men
forced an entrance into the city Jail
and wreaked summary vengeance on
negro man, Henry Booth, who was
charged with grossly insulting a
white woman,
The mob made its entrance to the
Jail by saving off a couple Of locks
which secured two great steel doors
which lied to the corridor and cell.
Officers were not very far away from
the scene and were called, but the
mob had quietly dispersed before
they arrived at the Jail.
The officers found the negro lying
upon the floor in an unconscious con-
dition, with his body riddled by bull
let's. Booth was carried to a Mem
phis hospital and it is not supposed
that he will live, though it is reported
that he has regained consciousness
and claims to have identified some of
the members of the mob
The crime for which the negro
will probably pay his life, was CON-
mitted Sunday night about 9 o'clock
Booth, it is said, grasped the wife OF
Humboldt painter, in front Of
her home, put his arm around her
and made improper proposals. The
husband swore out a warrant fol-
the man and he was soon arrested
and lodged in Jail. The Jail is in
the basement of the City Hall, To-
Gated in the most frequented part Of
the business section, and there wa;
no thought of mob violence. In fact
the night officers went about theft
business as usual About two O'Clock
the explosion Of fire arms attracted
attention toward the municipal bull
ding, and this was when the officers
discovered that the Jail had been bro
ken and the prisoner shot.
The negro, Henry Booth, has borne
bad reputation for years, and hal
frequently been before the courts TO
his crimes, but this Is the first tim,
he has been known to have insultet
white woman.
Attorney General G. G. Sherro,
and the offices have set about rigi,
investigation of the jail shoot

every luxury and comfort to give her
a most disa greeable disposition. L alter.
