Death of S. P. Harris.

The people of Union City and vi
cinity deplore the untimely death Of
one of our we'll known citizens, Steve
P. Harris, which occurred at his res
idence Thursday morning, July 10
at an early hour.
Mr.. Harris had not for several
years enjoyed sound health and the
crowding into his life of financial
difficulties, altho not seriously i'm,
pairing his temporal fortunes, was
the source of distress which FASTENED
his death.
Deceased was born and reared in
the county. He was married about
twenty-seven years ago to Miss Mel
lie Priest, and four children survive
the union as follows: Curtis, Max
Misses Louise and Mary Harris,
There are also two brothers and two
sisters as follows: Messrs. Dorrel
and Hubert Harris, Mrs. Lonnie Bon
durant and Miss Maggie Lee Harris.
The family resided in the country
north of Union City and about thir-
teen or fourteen years ago moved to
town. Mr. Harris was a member OF
the Methodist Church, man of very
generous nature, outwardly quiet
and extremely pleasant and accom-
modating. He was an exceptionally
fine neighbor and one of the most
free-learted men. He was singu-
larly kind and devoted to his. wife
and children. He loved his home.
He was purely unselfish, and valued
the condolences of those even who
may not have altogether realized his
liberal and trusthworth
mess.
Mr.. Harris was about Sc years of
age. He was not in any serious
financial straits. He left his family
well provided. for both in estate and
insurance. They have beautiful
home and all that life holds dear in
a good mother and kind friends,
pleasant future, all excepting the
sorrow and irreparable misfortune OF
Mr.. Harris death and the severing
of earthly ties. These are to be
bound again, however, in a blessed
reunion, where there is no more
death and suffering.
Services are to be held to-day at
the Methodist Church, conducted by
Revs. w. c. Sellers and j. V. Free
man, beginning at 10 o'clock.

Producing More and Better Sheep.

Q
During the past few years there
has been a gradual but consistent in
crease in the number of sheep raised
in Tennessee. The year ending De-
eember 80, 1919, showed an increase
of 5 per cent above the preceding
year.
This increase should continue,
since it will add materially to the in
come of the farmers raising them. A
State with the amount of pasture
Tennessee possesses could very prof
itably be raising one million and a
half sheep or more, instead of only
one-half million, or to be exact
SIT, 900 sheep which is what the
1920 census estimates are on the
farms of the State.
A few sheep can usually be con-
veniently and economically run on
most any farm, but there are thou
sands of acres of pasture in Tonnes
see in certain sections, notably knob
and mountain lands that are more
suitable for raising. sheep than any
other form of livestock.
Ready stabilized markets are
available for the wool and lambs to
which these products can be deliv-
cred within a short period of time
~ taI Il ioIy r;a
too, for these products the past few
years has been such as to show a
nice profit.
Coincident with this gradual in
crease in sheep production during
TIE past few years there has been a
marked improvement in the quality
of the lambs. This has been due to
the use of better bucks which are
being brought into many counties
over the State. The use of better
bucks has been found by sheep men
to pay, in that better prices are OBJ
tanned for the better quality of
lambs and wool produced.
There has been considerable inter-
est on the part of many farmers in
running few sheep on their farms
or incr easing the size of their flocks
this past year, but the difficulty of
securing breeding ewes of the right
kind has handicapped them some
what.
In order to eliminate this difficult
ty, arrangements have been made by
the Nashville Union Stock Yards to
bring into the, State an adequate
number of the best Western breed
ing ewes that are to be had during
the present season, running from 2
to years of age. These will be ac-
cessible to the farmers wanting to
tuy sheep at as near cost as possible. |
The dog menace is another factor
that has retarded the development
of this industry in Tennessee and is
responsible for the marked |
reduction of sheep which some years |
back were in the State. The enact
mcnt of the dog law the past year
should tend to counteract this dan
ger and stimulate confidence.

After forced inactivity OF more than
five years. due to the strife and IN
certainty Of conditions wrought by
the revolution in northern chihuahua,
the Dolores mines, at Dolores, on the
Mexico Northwestern railroad. are to
be reopened. This information was
secured from an official Of the Do
-Esperanza corporation, owners
Of the mines. whose headquarters are
in the Mills building.
The Dolores mines, before the shut
down occurred, We're among the most
important gold and silver mines in
northern chihuahua, as well as the
largest producers.
The properties were greatly dam
aged by revolutionary factions in the
early days Of the Mexican trouble
For this reason, repairs costing a
small fartune, will be necessary before
the mines can be reopened- The work
Of reconstruction, including reexca-
walton. timbering and repairs 10
equipment. are well under way, but
because Of the extensive improve
ments IL is not believed the mines
viii be on a producing basis for at
least a year.
To supply power to the Dolores
mines, a new modern power plant is
being constructed by the company at
MADEIRA. Steam turbine units are be-
ing installed. and the line by which
power will be transmitted over the
mountains to the mines, is already in

LABOR ORDER

In order that the act Of the Next

migration OF Mexican contract labor
ers to the United States may not be
construed as unfriendly by Ameri-
cans. Luis Monies de Oca, Mexican
consul general at FL Paso, has eI-
planned that the order was issued at
the instigation Of an American con-
Germ in Mexico
AThe order was issued by provi-
sinai president de Ia Huerta at the
request Of big American owned
mining company in Chihuahua" said
AIr. Monies de Oca-
This concern. which has extensive
properties in Chihuahua, employing
several thousand men, told the de
facto government that its employees
were deserving to accept work in the
sugar beet fields OF the United
States, and that unless some means
were adopted to prevent them cross
ing the company would be compelled
to cease corporations of its mines and
shelters
1T was only after a thorough in
vestigation that the government is
sued the order, which applied only to
the port Of FL Paso. At other border
points the immigration of contract
laborers, needed by American farm
ers in harvesting their crops, has not
been restricted
LABOR cOuQlLlOnS IN the state OF
Chihuahua at this time are undoubt-
edly critical" continued Mr.. Monies
de Oca and for that reason il is
necessarily permanent however. At
the same time, before immigration is
resumed we propose to adopt some
means for the better protection Of
Mexicans OF this class working in the
United States. We do not know what
means viii be adopted. but a study Of
labor conditions in the big sugar beet
fields and other enterprises using
Mexican labor in large numbers. viii
be made, and some solution Will be
reached.
Labor contractors who were doing
a large business in sending poems into
the United States, are greatly dis
gruntled because Of the preventive
measure But they, too. are Ameri-
