SESSION OF COURT
TO Be CUT SHORT

Circuit Court will be in session
a very short time this term on
account of farmers being so badly
behind with their work. The
following letter from Judge
Raulston explains the situation:
South Pittsburg, Tenn,
May II, 1920.
To Whom 1t May Concern:
Having consulted the mem
bers of the bar, who speak for
their clients, | have decided to
continue the June Term of the
Court to the next Term, except
to hold the Grand July one day,
for the purpose of disposing of
certain cases where the accused
are in Jail, and also to try such
non-jury cases as are ready.
This action is take on account
of the farmers having been
delayed in getting in their crops on
account of bad weather, believing
it would subserye the best inter-
ests of all concerned to so do.
J. T. RAULSTON.
Judge.
This decision. no doubt, will
be hailed with delight by the
farmers, who disliked having to
abandon their work at a critical
time to attend court. Judge
Raulston and the members of the
bar should be congratulated on
this excellent determination.

UNCLE TOMS LETTER


Editor News:
Here is the best thing I've
heard of in sometime and it ali
took place near Tracy City. ac.
cording to report. On Saturday,
May 9Th a lot of school boys were
out rowing around the woods
when they came upon a wildcat
still. The boys. seeing no one,
concluded they would DESTROY
the thing and broke it all to
pieces and came back and re-
ported what they had done and
asked if that was not the right
thing to do. suppose they
they were told yes. These boys
deserve a great big bouquet of
compliments and a medal given
to each one, for they manifested
more courage than the men of
Tracy have displayed up to date,
most especially the officers whom
the people depend on for protect
ion. 1t is true we've plenty of
officers, but of the do-nothing
kind. A preacher told me out at
Palmer night meetings were al
most impossible on account of
bad conduct. Well, the company
is to blame for that and show
they care nothing for the morals
of the place. Such people should
be discharged.
I've heard for sometime that
wildcat stills are being operated
in that section.
The fact is, the state and fed
eral laws don't amount to much
and are not a terror to evil-doers
any more than the attempt to
lower the h. c. of !. Uncle Sam
doesn't have much influence over
the protiteers. It's a huge joke
after all. Nothing is constitu-
tional these days that is helpful
and is for the uplift of the people.
The really lawless take advan-
tage of Uncle Sam delinquency.
The old parties appear to be in
the hands Of delinquents and au-
tocrats and the money power,
and we cannot help ourselves.
Never before has the .Ameri-
can people been so tried in the
fires of greed, avarice and selfish
ness. Just what the people will
do cannot tell, neither can you.
We know that labor cannot feed
and clothe itself with so many
leeches sucking its life blood.
Your wildcatter drinks the blood
of labor ravenously and cries for
more. and poor workers will give
heed and lie drunk for a week at
a time, or as long as his money
lasts.

anywhere with their wives, Tor women just loved to-and that clothes made
 such a difference in one's feelings
 They do. I never realized it so
 much before as l did then, looking at
 the fluffiest, daintiest, coolest looking
 gown I ever saw, all ruffles and frills. My wife almost got mad again when
 tried to describe it. She says Frieda Hempel doesn't wear fluffy clothes at all--her gowns are all lines. Anyway, they are all right; and if the women are all crazy about them-as she says they are-the women have some sense that's all I can say
 Miss Hempel says you don't dress up for the sake of dressing up; but just dressed all right-you just forget all about it. She says that a costume that wasn't right would almost spoil the singing of an opera role for her, that a beautiful gown is even more inn portant on the concert stage, and that you can't sing or talk or be at your best unless you're dressed just right. If I had on my new green tie. I'd have been little more at ease, l think, but was rather proud of my suit, and tried to rise above the antiquity of the four-in- hand I was getting the last few years out of.
