FAILURE OF ARRIVAL OF
ENTERPRISE ON TIME
CAUSES NEAR RIOT

Ruthville, July 20.-A great ex
element here that is rapidly spread
ing and permeating the entire city
of Ruthville and vicinity, and il
everybody's mouth; they are saying
what can be the matter, even the
mail carriers are hollering out to
their patrons, nothing doing" all
because the Enterprise failed to
come to their boxes Friday, but they
tried to console each other with the
hope that it may come on tomor-
row. Saturday came and again no
Enterprise. This Monday it is a
little less than a bowling mob and
if it fails to come today it is thought
the entire police force will be called
out to quell the disturbance. We
are yet hopeful.
DR.. Rudd of Fulton and DR.. Lit
tie of Martin are attending Mrs.
Sophia Moss, wife of D. r. Moss,
who seems near death and but little
hopes of recovery.
Old Uncle Bill Jones is very low
with a second stroke of paralysis.
Mr.. Charley Gillian is no better.
He is battling against a cOmplica-
ton of diseases which is battling
the skill of physicians.
Mr.. James Grogan carried Mr..
Cecil Page to the train at McCon-
nell and showed him low to get on
the car and remain seated until he
arrived at the home OF his mother,
away down in Mississippi.
Corn fields look like dark banks
on the horizon. The crop is very
promising. The hay crop was a
bumper and is now under shelter
or in the shocks ready for baling
gentle rains are falling every few
days pushing the crops to maturity.
The speaking date of Gov. Cox
of Ohio, in Ruthville, has not yet
been announced. The governor has
a strong following here.
Miss Ellen Rawls, 433 Maple
street, is wanting the legislature
when it meets in extra session next |
month to pass a law to have the
sticking end of the brier turned in
ward, instead of outward, as they
now are during the entire berry
picking season, as her hands have
been lacerated and torn by the
briers while she is trying to put
down the high cost of living.
Just certain number of days

CLUT OF TOBACCO ON
GAINESVILLE MARKET

GAINESVILLE, Tenn.-It became
manifest during last week that there
was more tobacco in the barns Of the
farmers throughout the county and
adjoining counties than any one had
thought. Consequently, there was a
constant influx Of wagons during
the entire week, bringing their to-
bacco to market, unloading the most
of it on the loose floors, which gave
only two days sale during the
week, amounting in the aggregate
to about 100000 pounds. The re-
handling houses are not operating
upon large scale, using principal
ly for their stock what is sold on
the loose floors. Two Of the large
houses have closed for the season,
and the proprietors are not attend
ing the sales at the present time.
The prices during the week aVer-
aged low, as the quality Of the
greater portion of the delivery was
Of low types. Lugs sold from to
cents, common leaf from 6 8-4 to
l6 cents, good leaf from III to "a
cents, fine leaf from Is to 32h
cents. The condition emphasized
what has been known to the best
farmers, that it pays to raise good
types Of tobacco, as they always de-
mand good prices. The buyers rep
esenting all markets eagerly take
all they can get at high prices.
Law thought that only few
day. days will be held as
will ca in the county are SO

for the presidency were placed in
nomination at the Thursday morn
ing's session of the convention, com.
pleting the list and giving the con-
vention fourteen names in addition
to the unnamed candidates Vice
President Marshall and Champ Clark,
Those nominated today were:
Furnifold M. Simmons, senator
from North Carolina. Carter Glass,
senator from Virginia. John w. Davis
of West Virginia, ambassador to the
court of st. James. Francis Burton
Harrison, governor general of the
Philippines.
The best feature of the session was
the ovation given to Davis after his
name was placed before the conyen-
ton by Governor John J. Cornwall,
West Virginia's governor. Altho
Davis can hardly be considered
leader among the candidates, the
possibilities of his selection as a
dark horse" in the event the other
candidates fail was strengthened by
the enthusiasm with which his nom
ination was received. Delegates in
all parts of the hall gave Davis very
generous applause.
This was repeated after each of
the two seconding speeches for Davis
had been made
