Denver, Colo.-ApproXimately $751;
400 worth of gold bullion, stolen at
intervals from the United States mint
at Denver, has been recovered, and
Orville Harrington, a long-trusted m
ployee of the mint, is being held at
the county Jail charged with the thefts.
Harrington was arrested as he was
preparing to board a car for his home.
He admitted the thefts when placed
under arrest. The amount stolen was
variously estimated at from $4,000
to $4,000, but the sum Of $S1,40C
was named in the information filed
against Harrington.
Divulqes Hiding Places.
Harrington was Immediately taken
to his home, where he divulged the
places where he had hidden the bull

a hole in the cement wall in the base
ment of his home, while some was
found hidden under the cement walk
in the back yard.
Harrington, whose right leg was

leg was hollow and was used as a
handy carrier for some of the stolen
gold.
The gold, according to H~arrington's
reported confession, he would hide in
his cellar every evening when he re
turned from work. When the hole in
the cellar wall had been filled with
the bullion Harrington was forced to
find another place to conceal his loot.

service men, Harrington then a r

under the walk in the rear of his

VOAH! NOT SO FAST

The following paragraph is taken
from last weeks issue Of the Paris
Partisan, and it was unfortunate
for Br'er R son that it came out the
same week that the Enterprise
turned out the identical kind of job
he refers to:
The Partisan has the distinc-
ton Of being the only printing
plant in West Tennessee, aside
from Memphis plants, that
produces circulars Of such large
dimensions.
Woah! Not so fast, brother! The
Enterprise got out the same kind Of
lob last week for the Gleason
Community Fair, there being the
slight difference of three inches
is width of the two jobs, yOurn be-
'ng three inches wider than ourn.
The Enterprise has been getting
out these jobs for 10 years. This
one for Gleason was gotten out in
less time than you specify for
yourn, John. The copy came in
Tuesday and the job was printed
Wednesday.
Another instance of lightning
.rapidity of the Enterpr Sc job de-
partment was given Friday, when
at 10 O'Clock, Friday Frank Mar.
grave brought down from Gleason
the copy for a full page-size circu-
lar, with many prices, and, with one
mas out of the office, the job was
printed and delivered by 4:30
How's that, John?

SAUCE FOR THE GOOSE, ETC.

Some time ago an appeal was
made to the county court to sup
plement the bond issue previously
authorized for road construction
purposes upon the plea that labor
and feed stuff had advanced to a
figure that if we got our east and
west highway the county would be
forced to allow more money, as the
contractors could not do the work
for the old price.
Labor at that time was figured in
the estimates at from So to "a the
day and corn at $40 the barrel.
But now, it is understood, plenty of
labor is available at So to $3.50 per
day and corn is selling at 81 per
barrel.
We wonder if there will be any
reduction in the road contracting
prices?
What is sauce for the gander
ought to be sauce for the goose.
When labor and so on went up,
the county was asked for more mon
ey, and now that labor and corn is
cheaper, is it not reasonable to sup
pose that road contracting ought to
be lowered?
Gov. Roberts and the state high
way commission were held up to
ridicule and criticism because one
road contractor who failed to make
bond on his former bid, the bid be-
ing so low the bonding company
refused the same contract on a
greatly increased bid and the bond
ing company accepted this bid.
What's sauce for the goose ought
to be sauce for the gander.
Eevery sane person expects the
road building people to make some
money out of the job, but if the
counties are asked to pay more be.
cause. of advance in prices of labor
ETC., then ought not the counties tc
be given the advantage Of the low
err prices also?

ton shown by John Shelton Will
liams, Comptroller of the Currency
in the welfare of the farmers OF
this country and his fearless ex-
posture of the high rates of interest
charged by the New York banks,
the effect of which has been to

banks, where it is most needed fol-

New York for speculative purposes. .

If You Are Pale and Weak Without

Rich, Red Blood Fights OFF Disease
and Keeps You Well and Enables
You to Work With Pleasure

Serious sickness often comes when
you least suspect. You may feel a
little over-tired. You haven't been
exposed to contagion, yet all of a
sudden you are flat on your back
and in for a siege of sickness.
Your blood did not have fight
ing qualities. 1t was weak and thin.
Your vitality and powers of resist
ance were low.
When you overdo you use up en-
ergy. Your blood is driven to do
more than It can. 1t becomes
clogged with waste. The waste
acts like poison. Disease germs gel
in your blood and dominate.
Don't let yourself get run down
Take a good tonic, Pepto-Mangan

1OO-FOOT PILINGS BEING
CARRIED THROUGH DRESDEN

An unusual sight witnessed here
daily for the past two weeks is the
hauling of large number of 100
foot pilings through here from the
hills east of Dresden, where they
are gotten out, to Sharon. At the
latter place they are loahed on flat
cars for shipment. These pilings
are used by the railroads for tres
tie work, which reminds us that if
our Weakley county bridges were
builded that way they would
not require rebuilding every time
there is enough rainfall to flood
the creeks.

STORE AND FREIGHT CAR
AT DEPOT ROBBED LAST WEEK

One night last week thieves en-
tered the store of Mr.. Dildy, near
the depot, taking several pairs of
stockings, some chewing gum and
a small sum of money left in the
money till over night. Going from
there they forced entrance to a
freight car and got several pairs of
shoes. Next morning an old, worn,
rundown pair of shoes and a pair
of socks which had seen better
days were found alongside the rail-
road track, where, evidently, the
thief changed his footwear. There
is entirely too much of this business
taking place here.

THE REAL REMEDY

It is understood that the young
men implicated in the robbery OF
Lewis store in Dresden one night
some weeks ago claim that they
conceived the idea after becoming
Intoxicated on bootleg liquor; that
one of them in particular has al
ways borne a splendid reputation
was never known to be in trouble
before. But he got tanked up on
bootleg whiskey and "fell in" with
the gang and committed a felony
q crime the odium of which will lin
ger with him as long as he lives.
He can never Out-live it.
For some months there has been
entirely too much of this bootleg
LIQUOR dispensed in Dresden. Other
. Young men have become intoxicated
on it, and older men have drunk
some of it-too much. This liquor
is brought here, it is understood IN
automobiles from Carroll county
and from illicit distilleries located
in Weakley county.
The strong arm of the law ought
to be fully meeted out to the haul
ers and the vendors Of this bootleg
LIQUOR. There ought to be a law
and order league organized In TINS
town for the sole purpose OF driving
from this community these boot
leegers and those who use their
automobiles to haul liquor here.
Last week the faculty Of the
Dresden High School had some trou-
BILE with some of the boys who had
violated the rules of the school and
smoked cigarettes while on the
school grounds. The matter was
finally carried to the board and
there settled. But if some one had
not violated the law by selling these
boys, who are under Is years OF
age. cigarettes the teachers would
not have had this annoyance and
the board would not have beer
called into the matter.
It's all through a violation Of the
law. And it's just as wrong to VIC
Dresden enterprise and Sharon tribune. (Dresden, Tenn.) 1907-1997, 1920-11-05

late the law selling cigarettes as it
is selling whiskey.
Disregard for one law begets a
disregard for another law, and soon
all laws are d'sregarded.
The point we are making is that
these young men got this trouble of
robbing Levy's store through some
one violating the law and selling
bootleg liquor, and the boys got in
to trouble with their school teachers
through some one selling them
cigarettes, which, also, IS violation
of the law.
