E. F. HAYES HAS
PECULIAR ACCIDENT.

On Wednesday night of last week,
or rather at about / o'clock Thursday
day morning Mr.. E. F. Hayes, of the
old 7th district, found it necessary to
go out on the back porch to cut tel
ephone wire because of an approach
ing storm and while out there in the
dark, stepped backward off the
porch, with the result that when he
struck the ground his neck at the
juncture with the head was dislocat-
ed. Some of the family heard Mr..
Hayes floundering about on the
ground and ran out to him, thereby
doubtless saving his life, for the par
ty who went out to him said that
when the articulation of the neck
went back into place, the click was
distinctly heard. In other words, Mr..
Hayes simply broke his neck-but it
did not stay broken. The hurt to Mr..
Hays was so severe that his head and
neck were put into splints like bro
ken limb and we are told that for
some two or three days following the
accident he suffered great agony.

GENERAL TYSON
STEPS OUT-AGAIN.

General Lawrence d. Tyson, Of
Knoxville, has again declined to en-
ter the Democratic primary for Gov
ernor against A. H. Roberts, in spite
Of the fact that he says in his card
published Wednesday that he believ-
ed he could win in the primary and in
the November election. He says fur
Their that he is prompted in his action
by the condition of the Democratic
party in the State and nation-that
said condition is critical and that the
electoral vote of Tennessee might
even be necessary to Democratic sue
cess. General Tyson is as clean and
high class a man as Tennessee can
boast and had he entered the primary
lists he would have done so with the
fullest confidence of all who know
him. Gov. Roberts now has a clear
field against whomsoever the Repub-
licans may nominate.

Rupert Hughes, writing the story
whats the World Coming to-" in the
May Red Book, says that in New
York City there are "black belts" and
again refers to these localities as
SHADY GASES" in the white desert"
and that "These GASES were growing
all the time, and more and more of
the negroes come up from the South
TO escape lynching bees and gain OPP
portunities." Opportunities for what
Mr.. Hughes? To attempt to commit
more rapes? And did New York give
them a welcome with that history be-
hind them? Hughes said further:
MANY of the black soldiers who had
been drafted out of the cotton fields
and sent to Europe (where they saw
black troops treated as equals by for
eign men and women) came back to
settle in New York" The only COM
ment necessary on such harmful stuff
appearing in such widely read mag
azine as the Red Book, is that Mr..
Rupert Hughes is either cheap fool
or a well-paid knave.

A CORRECTION.

In last weeks issue we gave no
tice regarding the visit of Circuit
Court Clerk j. R. Rhodes, of Deca-
turville, to our office, and from in
formation he gave us we noted that
he was taking subscriptions for the
organization of new bank at Deca-
tudville. We desire to correct, on ac-
count of information we have later
received from Decaturville, our state
ment In reference to lawsuit pend
ing between the Decatur County
Bank and the Farmers Bank Of Par
sons relative to the custody Of the
Decatur county highway funds. The
facts are that the County Finance
Committee sold the bonds to the De-
catur County Bank, they being some
$4,000 higher than any other bidder,
and in their contract with the finance
committee they were to have control
of the funds. In order to place the
bonds they contracted with the bond
ing people to pay the interest on the
daily balance to the said purchasers.
Later the Finance Committee under
took to violate their contract with the
Decatur County Bank and it was the
bonding people who instituted suit
and enjoined the Decatur County
Bank from paying the fund over to
any other bank as depository Of the
funds, but this in no way interferred
with the payment of warrants for
proper work on the roads of the coun-
ty and the Decatur County Bank
pays all such warrants and has in no
way abridged its contract with the
Finance Committee Of the county.
We stated that the lawsuit may have
been reason why the new bank was
being organized but we are reminded
also that if those undertaking to or
ganize a bank have nothing more to
commend them than what has been
done in this instance, if organized it
would hardly succeed, but as stated
in our notice last week our informa-
ton was entirely on what Mr.. Rhodes
told US and we are glad to correct it
and give the facts. The Decatur
County Bank has for twenty years or
more been the leading bank Of Deca-
tur County and one Of the substan-
italy managed banks Of the State.

We reproduce in this issue some of
the speech made last Saturday by
Senator Ca.per, of Kansas-every
word of which is doubtless true. If
the Senator had just added that
throughout the country, down to the
least man who has anything to sell,
the same spirit prevails, he would
have shown that he has the sitiation
well in mind. Every fellow is cuss-
ing the other fellow-and at the same
time giving an upward twist to what
he, himself, has to sell. If an article
sells at a high price-put it little
higher. If there is even rumor Of
scarcity of an article-put up what
you have on hand. If some fellow be-
ing robbed protests-tell him you
have got to asks the prices you do in
"order to live" There seems to be
almost a complete elimination of
conscience in prices asked-BUT
ALL are doing alike and in that fact
lies the most lamentable feature Of
it all. OF course there are exceptions,
but as the rule profiteering is cock
tensive with the boundary lines Of the
United States-and may overflow in
to other lands for aught we know.
