UNCLE TOMS LETTER

Editor News:
For the benefit of Your honor
ed and respected readers | will
tell them the cause that prompt
ed me to write the article that
Small Grain" attacked so spite
fully. AS to the Marion county
nominees for sheriff and trustee
| did not have them on my mind.
The load of shot that the sheriff
received while trying to execute
the law should be sufficient re-
commendation for all good, law
aqiding people to vote for. dc
not believe | accused the Marion
county people of being gamblers.
Here are the facts. An old man
told his son and son in-law had
gone over the line into Marion
county to gamble and he wished
the deputy sheriff would catch
them, for it was mighty nigh ev-
cry Sunday. AS to Marion coun-
ty being honey-combed with wild
cat stills | got that from citizens
of Marion county, and from no
one else. and as honorable and
truthful as anybody. One old
man told me he went to help dig
a grave and some of the men
smelt so strong with whiskey he
could hardly stand it. Another
said he came upon above his field
where a still was being put up
and they found out he had seen
it and moved it. Another said
he was satisfied stills were being
operated on the side near the top.
A lady told me about one being
above her spring, and her broth
er notified them to move out.
which they did. pouring out their
slop, which ruined her spring for
several days. Another party
said an automobile came out from
South Pittsburg once week and
sometimes oftener and he believ-
ed they got whiskey. The pro-
hibition officers have captured as
many or more stills in Marion
than they have in Grundy, and
Judge Raulston himself came out
in letter not so long ago condemn
ing the wildcat business.
AS to the dress of women he
harps on | referred to the Biloxi,
Miss, law compelling women to
dress decently. 1t is a well
known fact that these great wa
tering and bathing resorts are
visited by the most fashionable
and notorious prostitutes there
are. Father and mothers pay no
attention to the revilings of such
as "Small Grain"

when there was nothing but
farming going on in the valley,

groceries hauled in wagons.
Now, the valley is being filled up
with all kinds of industries and
it is a great farming country.
Well, Cumberland mountain is
some place for farming and stock
raising. Fine hogs and cattle
are raised on old Cumberland
mountain. Some farmers are
making an independent living
and saving money. The railroad
is being extended further out in

Sometime in the near future this
will be one of the greatest coal
