BANDY BROOKSHIRE
GETS ARMY MEDAL
Medal of Honor For Bravery Display.
ed In France Recognized By
United States G ,vernment.

"For an extraordinary series OF
heroic acts" said Major Landers of
Nashville is presenting the U. 8.
Medal Of Honor to Bandy Brook
shire, brave young Paris soldier at
the Dixie Theatre Monday evening,
when a number of khaki clad COM
rades stood as a guard of honor to
the receiver of the medal.
Bandy Brookshire was with the
18Th Machine Gun Battalion, 30th
Division. Between October 17-19,
1918, when the valiant 30th had
taken part in the breaking of the
Hindenburg line the first timey and
for the third time had withdrawn this
time to the LaSalle River, young
Brookshire bravely volunteered five
successive times to carry messages
through fire swept areas, and for
these several acts of heroism was
awarded the Medal of Honor which
was presented him on Monday even
ing.
Major Landers in presenting the
medal, called attention to the fact
that those who had offered their lives
on their country's altar were in a
group set aside from ordinary men,
and were deserving always of the
honor and reverence of the commu-
nifty in which he lived. Speaking
probably from a soldiers viewpoint,
he said those who had had the "good
fortune" to serve their country also
had --'~" zeal to live up to, and he

honorably, and to pattern their lives

the PRESBYTERIAN Church, Sunday,
August 8th. An invitation is ex-
tended the public to attend these
services.
Rev Corum is one of the leading

highly educated, being a Vanderbilt
gIa aduate, Princeton graduate, also
having studied extensively abroad.
He is most pleasing speaker, beau
tifully sincere and devoted to. the
cause of Christianity for which he

the churches win not hold regular
services on Sunday evening, but will
take the opportunity of hearing this
able preacher.

MUCH TOBACCO IS
NOW BEING TOPPED
AND QUALITY GOOD
Growing Crop in fine Shape and Con-
ditions Were Never Better 1t
Is Said.
CROP HOWEVER is LATE
BUT YIELD is EXCELLENT
Movement of Loose Tobacco Lighter
During Past Week Owing To
Dry Weather.
(By w B Kennedy

The movement of loose tobacco
has been very much lighter during
the past week than it has been for
several weeks. The main reason for
this is that we had a storm on the
oath and the weather turned very
cool and has been ever since. To-
bacco hanging in the barns has been
bone dry and bulks could not be
removed without casing them. An
other reason is that the bulk of the
crop has moved and we may not
expect another glut this season. In
one way it is rather fortunate be-
cause dealers who were active in the
market were crowded and it would
have been hard to have taken care of
the stock if deliveries had continued
as heavy as last week. The Planters
Protective Association houses are
crowded the same as other dealers
and all are having a chance to work
their stocks down.
There has been some tobacco mov-
ing and sales have continued thruout
the week. Prices on low and common
leaf have been irregular and a shade
easier, especially on the very low
grades. Long tobacco has continued
firm and so has leaf of merit of most
any class, hence we would say the
market was unchanged except on the
low and common grades.
Ordinarily factories Or the prize
houses nave completed their years
work by the middle of July, but many
of them will run into the fall months
before getting through. The reason
for this Is the bulk of the crop did
not begin to move until in the spring
then the extra large crop that was
grown last year. We have estimated
the probable yield of the 1919 crop
at 105 to 110 million pounds. 1t is
apparent now that the crop will run
considerably above the outside figure
and may go to 115 or 120 million
pounds.
The growing crop is looking fine
and a great deal Of it has been top
ped. Taking the crop through the
district will say that / never saw
a healthier growth or better prospect
for a good crop than we now have
But the greater part of it is late and
it depends on the weather conditions
from now on as to the quality and
the yield.

CLOSE RACE In
CONGRESSIONAL
CAMPAIGN IS ON
Gordon Browning of Huntingdon Is
Giving Congressman T w Sims
The Race OF His Career.
GOV. ROBERTS ALSO MEETS
STRONG OPPONENT; CRABTREE
Unable To Forecast Final Results
Until Ballots Counted Tonight;
Races CT 4se.

At noon Thursday as The Partisan
goes to press it is almost impossible
to forecast the result Of today's ell
ections in at least two very close
races. The interest in the election
today is centering on the congress
ional and gubernatorial candidates.
Gordon Browning. of Huntingdon
is giving Congressman T W Sims the
hardest fought contest of his "a
years career in congress for the
much coveted seat. Browning's
campaign managers are claiming the
district by $500 majority, while the
Sims managers are simply claiming
victory and placing no figures, altho
apparently realizing that they are
fighting with their backs to the wall.
The race, in fact, is so close that
there is no taking of bets-the Sims
supporters telling their comrades to
keep their money in their pockets"
For the first race 0 Mr. Sims i'm
nearly quarter of century, bet
ting on the results are at stand
still-nothing doin', so to speak.
Gov A H Roberts, candidate for a
second term, is likewise meeting
with strong opposition in the candi-
dacy of Col w R Crabtree of Chat
tanooga. This race is close; both
sides claiming victory to the last
notch. 1t is predicted by the
Crabtree managers that Henry coun-
ty will give him majority of more
than 1000 votes.
In the local political events, w d
Cooper and D A Burlxhalter are neck
/ and neck in a close race for the
senatorial tCga III Nashville, and E
John Travis and DR. f A Travis are
fighting it out for the representative
seat. w e Weldon, candidate for
tioerial representative is without
opposition.
In the general election it is mere
ly matter of form, the election of
sheriff, circuit court clerk, trustee
and tax assessor, although some in
terest is centered in the selection of
member of the county board of ed
ucation, and specially n the selec-
tion of three members of the local
board. There are three contestants
for the magistrates chair, caused
vacant by the death of W 7 Snow.

CLARKS WILLIE HAS
BIG SALES EVENT
New Paris-Nashville Accommodation
Trains Heaps Crowds Into City
For Sales Day.

The Clarksville Leaf Chronicle
gives the following account of the
monthly sales day there this week,
which it headlines as Biggest Sales
In History" "New Paris-Nashville
Train Brings Hundreds" etc.:
The merchants of Clarksville are
immensely pleased with today's de-
velopments. They have every reason
to be, 1t is generally conceded that
it has heen the most important of all
previous monthly Sales Days. The
streets and stores have presented a
striking similarity to that which oc-
ours when big circus comes to town
The crowds began to pour into the
city early by all means of locomo-
tion, but principally by railway and
motor car.
The new Paris-Nashville train
brought hundreds Of people who were
never here before, all attracted by
this enterprising community. The
people who came here by this new
train today are strikingly represen-
tative and wearing an air of solidity
and prosperity. They all have full
supply of cash and spend it freely
in the pursuit of the many advertis-
ed bargains found in the August
Sales Sheet. Clarksville welcomes
right heartily these accessions to its
alrady swelling list of customers
from various other quarters. Our
merchants are not unmindful of the
Importance of encouraging and cul-
tivating the splendid trade it has
built within the past twelve months
through the medium Of its strong
and wide awake Advertising Club
This institution has proven wonder
fully successful and is forging ahead
to greater possibilities. 1t has put
pep and new life into all lines, fur
oished renewed inspiration TO all
those who had imagined that Clarks-
vile had just about attained to the
peak of its possibilities as retail
market. The developments of the
last twelve months have shown con-
clusively that we had only made a
good start; that we had greater
contiguous territory hitherto unap-
preached through lack of cohesive
organized effort that is now supplied
by the Clarksville Advertising Club
The missionary work that has
been done by that organization within
brief year constitutes Clarksville's
greatest trade aset. 1t is an ar.
curry of future growth and expan.
sion, the extent of which no man is
able to compute.

SEASONS TOMATO CROP WAS
ONE OF BEST IN HISTORY

reports splendid tomato crop at the
close of the season this week. A
large crop of tomatoes was success
fully marketed for most gratifying
prices. There are packing houses
in Milan, Trenton and other towns
The tomatoes are hand picked and
hand packed. They are pulled from
the vines just as they are slightly
turning red, and shipped practically
green. For the past six or eight
weeks, the tomato industry has fur
nished constant employment with
high wages for large numbers OF
men, women and children in the to-
mato sections.

new SERIAL TO Be
SHOWN AT DIXIE

The serial photoplay lovers of this
city will hear with delight that the
much talked of chapter picture,
"Hidden Dangers" is due here for an
early showing. 1t will be seen at the
Dixie beginning August II, and for
fifteen consecutive weeks thereafter.
This already famous serial was just
recently completed and because of
the sensational scientific story upon
which it is based, it has received
wide discussion over the country. 1t
is the story Of a modern DIR Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde with Joe Ryan and Jean
Page as stars. 1t was produced by
Vitagraph and an added interest is
lent to it because of its being the
first photoolay in which Ryan and
Page have appeared as stars.
The making of Hidden Dangers
consumed many months because OF
the unusual scientific nature of the
story. 1t is based on the dual per-
sonality that sometimes exists in the
man and the unwinding of the plot
is fraught with startling and mys.
terious feats performed with electric.
ity and by means of hypnotism.

OLIVE THOMAS in
CHARMING PICTURE
Pretty Selznick Star Proves That
Beauty Is More Than
Skin Deep.

Cynics speak of beauty as some
thing only skin deep. More relia-
BILE authorities tell us that the truly
beautiful things of this mundane
sphere are those whose matchless
beauties remain unseen. And now
comes one little film star to prove
that both theories are incomplete.
Yet, it is rather difficult to asso-
ciate great physical strength with
feminine bearty-it's sort of incon-
gruous, like hen crowing-and yet,
you never can tell.
Take for example Olive Thomas,
the Selznick star. Che's very fair
to look upon and thou~h she is far
from the fragile, clinginr vine type,
she isn't exactly the sort of an as
sistant you would want for moving
a piano.
But just recently she fooled 'em
all. In one of the scenes in "Out
Yonder," her newest Selznick pic
! ture, which comes to the Dixie next
Wednesday she is called upon to
climb a rocky cliff through the murk
of an inky night, waving aloft q
flaming torch.
When the time came for that par
ticular scene Director Ralph Ince
was rather solcitous about taxing
Miss Thomas srength to that extent.
The beautiful Olive looked at him
quizzically for moment, picked up
the torch and "hefted" it tentatively
gave little chuckle and started 70
climb with all the agility of a scared
cat, arriving at the crest of the cliff
without breathing hard.
Which proves-you never can tell.
