the county the republicans are hold

more uninteresting and listless, IL that

district and county was generally con-
coded. a
In the general election there is not
a contest In the ninth district. Every
candidate on the ticket could be voted

1t is probably the first time since the
Dortch or secret ballot law went into
effect in Tennessee where one could
vote for evry name Oh the ballot. The
vote in the general election is less

NO MONEY Will
BE USED TO RUN
BUSINESS HOUSE
Big Concern Will Attempt
To Stop Payroll
Robberies.

Rochester, Nov. 16--A large BUSH.
ness house having headquarters in
this city has undertaken to conduct
its affairs entirely without tho use of
money. Instead of currency, it intends
to use checks, trade acceptances and
travel checks TO make payments of cv-
cry kind, including it's payroll. AS
the concern deals with more than
100000 individual customers the re-
suit of the experiment will be watched
with interest.
inc company's reason for adopting
this method is given. as an effort to
demonstrate all means Of ending the
epidemic of payroll robberies and "to
shoW hat modern business. may be
conducted most efficiently without the
use of small change thus leaving
the nations money where it belongs,
in h banks, tosserve as the basis of
credit"
The announcement says even car
Fares, hotel bills and railroad fares
for the company's force of several
hundred statesmen, and Other sundries
are to be paid by checks. All petty
items even to one-cent postage stamp
will be paid henceforth by check and
mo currency of any amount or de-
nomination is totbe carried in any
form as company property"
To meet the payroll Of Its factory,
the company has offered to employees
either irregular pay check or the op.
ton of receiving on pay day a deposi,
slip showing that his earnings for the
week have been deposited to his cred
it in a5.local bank. This plan is Ok
tpected by the house to provy popular
with the thrifty class of employees and
to increase the volume of bank de-
posts. Executive employees who have
no banking account have been advised
to start one at once. Z

EGYPTIAN WOMEN

London. Oct. so.-Egyptian women
are at last beginning to take an In
.teEest s.iassspublic affairs, particularly
schools. ViscounteM Miner in his
report as high commissioner of Egypt
says that no change which has taken
place in that country in the last few
years o n isNmore striking than the
awakening interest Of women in af-t
fairs outside of the home.
The. commissioner added that IA
few years ago 1t was rare to find "a
smother showing a direct personal in

at school. All this was left to the
father who often had to overcome
the mothers opposition to the edu-
cation of her daughter. During the
las. Jew years these conditions have
'i!chaGged In the larger towns where
mothers nov visit the schools and
discuss their daughters progress with
the head teacher" said the report.
This change is attributed by the
high commissioner largely to educa-
ton and he predicts that its influ-
ence will be- potent on the future

AUTOMOBILES (.
CUT TRAFFIC
ON D I RAILROADS.
Bus and Truck Lines Oper.
Ii 1 { aates Faster and at the
Same Rates.

Chicago, Nov. 16.-The trials of
railroad presidents who preside over
the destinies of the country's short
lines are coming to light in the hear
ings being given here to more than I
100 short lines whose employees have
petitioned the United States Railway
Labor board for increased pay.
One Texas road, built primarily to-
open up q route to some mineral de-
post beds, has to date the champion
hard luck tale, according to G.. w. W..
Hanger, member OF the board. The
president of the line explained he
owned forty-one miles of track be-,
tween two ternAnalt cities. His fast
passenger train covered the distance
in two hours.
But between the two cities is a hard
surfaced highway, and enterprising
auto owners have opened-a bus line.
The highway, on a direct route. is lit
tie more than twenty miles long, com-
pared to the railroads. forty-one.
The auto bus covers the distance in.
utes faster than the train, and
charges the same fare.
The freight outlook he described as
equally bad. A. company operating
motor trucks with two trailers to the
truck hauls freight over the highway
faster than the road can by train, de-
livers the goods at the merchants
store door. and charges the same
tariff as the railroad. And on top OF
his other troubles it is now estimated
that the mineral deposits which fur
nish the main remaining source of
revenue will be exhausted within
three years.
The president of an Alabama short
line whose principal source of revenue
is hauling ore to Birmingham fur
naces appeared to defend his cone
pany against six employees. all station
agents. who had requested more
money. Their present income is ss5
q month. ~. =
The railroad president exhibited a
(, personal knowledge of the affairs OF
each of his employees. One of the sta
ton agents, he said, owned a country
store q few rods from the railroad
wire into the store SO he could handle
his duties as dispatcher and operator
while waiting on customers. A sec.
ond was described as the wife of a
prosperous farmer. She had her. tele-
graph line in the farm kitchen, the
president said. OF the six operators
only one was located in a town, and
that was a village of 500 population
The president said his road paid nc
dividends andN operated at a loss OF
500, 900 last year.
Hearing of the more than 100 shor,
line cases, each Of which is being
taken up separately, is expected tc
continue for several weeks. Decision:
in all cases will be handed dowr
simultaneously.
