Scraps of Verse and Prose
By Clara Cox Epperson

slanderer's foul tongue, and there
fore the eternal punishment of the
slanderer should be greater than
that of the murderer.
"A good name is rather to be
chosen than great riches" and we
should try to protect the good names
of our innocent, young, sweet and
lovely girls, as we would protect their
precious lives, for they are like flaw
less jewels and pearls entrusted to
our care, and it is the duty of every
man and woman in a town or COM
munity to strike blow at SANDERS
foul, Shiny, dangerous tongue at ev-
cry opportunity, remembering that
if it be some ones loved one thus
assailed, some day 1T may be your
own, dear girl, therefore protect
some other mothers daughter as you
would that some one should some
day protect your own.
The poet, Will Carleton, has said,
Careful with fire." is good advice,
we know,
Careful with words" is ten times
doubly 20. -
Thoughts unexpressed may some
times fall back dead;
But God himself can't kill them

SANDER

SANDER is a creeping, evil, insidu-
GUS thing that works its way into
the minds of men and women, pois-
ening the thoughts toward the most
innocent in life, and yet like the
poisonous snake, Z ,reeps and glides
away into darkness, and can rerely
be dealt with, though the lives OF
those whom it has struck may be
ruined.
The Bible has definite place for
the slanderar, and it is without the
kingdom of heaven in utter darkness,
and that seems fitting, since the
work of the slanderer is done in
darkness, and never in broad open
daylight, thit his punishment should
be to forever dwell in the outer
darkness.
The slanderer is really more to be
dreaded in a community than the
murderer, for we have laws to deal
with those who take life, but none
10 deal with those who take some
thing dearer Tar than life-the good
name-especially the good name OF
young and innocent girls. The muir
derer almost always pays for his
cruel deeds, but we have nothing
with which to strike into silence the

HON. GEORGE N. WEIGH
Honest Official Seeking Endorsement
Of Voters

Hon. George N. WEIGH, candidate
to succeed himself as member OF
the Tennessee Railroad Commission,
is entitled to the place to which he
aspires. The enemies Of the public
utilities legislation should not hold
Mr.. WEIGH responsible for any Of it's
provisions, but on the contrary he
should be endorsed for his stand on
the enforcem emit of that unpopular
measure. Mr.: WEIGH was member
Of the railroad commission when the
utilities law was enacted, and that
law provided that the railroad COM
mission as it was then constituted
should become the public utilities
board. Mr.. WEIGH had absolutely
nothing to do with the passage Of
the law. Mr. WEIGH has been voted
an endorsement by the democrats Of
Hamilton county, and his administra
ton has been endorsed by the state
Democratic convention, anih ie en-
titled to the support of the demo-
cratic voters in the primary OF Aug
ust 5. It would be. unwise and un-
democratic to remove q faithful Of
ticial simply because another man
seehD the position which he holds.
Mr.. WEIGH should carry Hamilton
county by a majority ranging from

LIME, LEeUMEs AND LIVESTOCK

In the Countrywide Plan for ag-
ricutural development and better.
ment the three "L's" Lime, Legumes
and Livestock, are important factors.
If these are neglected or ignored
we cannot hope to make farming per-
manent, lasting and satisfactory.
That is the way L. P. Gabbard, agrl-
cultural agent, puts it up to him far
mers in Loudon County.
+ During the past year the farmers
of Loudon county used 1000 tons of
pulverized limestone according to Mr..
Gabbard. This is more than has
been used in any previous year, but
this year it is the aim OF the agent
and progressive farmers of that coun-
ty to increase the above amount a
number of times. No argument is
necessary to convince the successful
farmer that lime will help him to Sc
cure better results. Much more lime
would be used II it could be secured
more conveniently says Mr.. Gabbard.
Some communities and individual far
AAOA6 A0VO bVlVOu (AkAo uAAN04Sy
very satisfactorily by crushing rock
on their own farms. This is prob
ably the cheapest and most satisfac-
tory way to get lime when sufficient
labor can be had to do the work and
a ready supply Of rock is at hand.
Others who are convenient to ship
ping points order their lime from
concerns which manufacture lime
for agricultural purposes.
Now is good time to begin to
make arrangements for your lime.
July, August, September and Oct
ober are good months in which to ap-
ply lime. In fact it is good time
to use lime any time the cropping
system will permit its application.
The ciovers should be given a
chance along with the lime if the
best results are expected. Agent
Gabbarl urges the farmers OF his
county to begin early and make Lou
don q leader this year in the use of
lime. Farmers in other counties
would do we'll to follow the example |
Of the farmers of this county and
use more lime, more legumes and
raise more livestock.

 Don't put in another day of distress. Let Cascarets cleanse your stomach {; remove the sour, fermenting food take the excess bile from your liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poison in the bowels. Then you will feel great.

Washington. Representative of l the four railway brotherhoods and heads of affiliated trades adopted a | declaration of principles opposing leg islation which would make strikes of railway workers unlawful. The dec laration, framed at conference with President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor, declared it the sense of organized railway employees that penalty clauses in pending rail- road legislation against workers ceas- ing their employment should be eliln- mated
 L. E. Shepard, president of the Or der of Railway Conductors, was the only hig four brotherhood head at the conference, the others being repre- scented by deputies. It was said that the railway men were unanimous in opposing the section making strikes illegal They had assurances that the House would not accept the labor section of the Cummins bill.
 Soon after the conference got well under way President Gompers, who presided, returned to his office and conferred for an hour with Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore * Ohio Railroad The visit of MT.

Washington. President Wilson announced he would return the rail roads to private ownership March l. The president also announced that the railway express companies would be returned at the same time.
 In announcing these two decisions of the president, Secretary Tumulty issued the following statement:
 Last May in his message to the Congress the president announced that the railroads would be handed over to their owners at tho end of his calendar year. It is now neces sary to act by issuing the proclama- tion In the present circumstances no agreement having yet been reach- cd by the two houses of Congress su respect to legislation on the subject, 1t becomes necessary in tho public in- terest to allow a reasonable time to elapse between the issuing of the proclamation and the date of it's ac- tually taking effect.
 ""'he president is advised that the railroads and express companies are not organized to make it possible for them to receive and manage their properties if actually turned over to them on December 31, and if this were done it would raise financial and legal complications of a serious char acter
 "The railroad and express com- panies' should be given ample oppor- tunity to adequately prepare for the resumption of their business, under the control and management of their own stockholders, directors and of ficre.es Therefore, the transfer of possession back to the railroad com panies will become effective at 12:1 a. m.
