MONDAY
COURT ADJOURNED
 UNTIL WEDNESDAY

This monins Judge Lockwood act ing on request of Judge Pattee. who is in Tucson. signed an order adjourn ing court until Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. when Judge Pattee will render his decision on the question a to whether the proposed defense tn the case of the State vs H. l.. wootten. charged with kidnapping as the result of the Bisbee deportations win be admissible.
 When Jadge Pat;ee adjourned court last Thursday until this morning. he anncunced that owing to the su- preme importance of the question in volved. which will set a precedent that will be used all over the United States. be would take all the time necessary to weigh the arguments and law before giving his decision. The decision. no doubt will be ready for Wednesday afternoon and on the results will depend the course to be pursued by the defense attorneys. If Judge Pattee holds the evidence con meeting up with the l. W. w. depor- tations. is admissible. the case will no doubt be a long drawn-out one. since it is intimsted by the defense that many witnesses will be intro duced to prove the alleged conspir- .acy.
 On the other hand if the court holds with the contentious of the sta:e sha: there are no grounds for such evidence in the case. the defense will have 10 seek other grounds of de- fense and the case will not occupy the time it would should the L w. w. evidence be admitted.

WEDNESDAY
BOTH SIDES CLAIM VICTORY IN JUDGE PATTEE's DECISION
 ON ADMISSIBLE EVIDENCE


 Ruling in favor of the State oa one question-by exclusion of the presumption of self-defense, claimed by the defense, and in favor of the defense by allowing the introduction of evidence on the grounds Of neces- sity, Judge S. L. Pattee this after noon rendered what is considered the most important decision since the beginning of the trials in the depor- tafion cases, in the case against H. E. wootten on trial for the past six weeks.
 The decision covered some 8 double space typewritten pages and was interspersed at intervals with quotations from authorities in sub stantiation Of the courts action.
 The first part Of the decision dealt with the claim of selfdefense by the attorneys for tkc defense, in which the court denied the contention of the defense and concluded by saying in part:
 -It is well settled under these pro visions of the statute that the law of self-defense can only be success fully invoked in a case coming with ing the express terms of the statute. Mere threats. however violent, O. song-continued, or mere fear. how ever honestly entertained, do not jus fffy the infliction of death or bodily ,intury under claim of self-defense. because of mere threats against tho life or person, or mere fear. though well-srounded and honestly entertain ed, of prospective or future injury or the taking of life. unless the danger appear to be imminent In every ease there must have been some act or demonstration upon which could be based . reasonable ground for the belief at the time of the killing or ilfliction of other injury the one as- ssrfing self-defenss was in imminent aanxer, and thst it was necessary for him to kin or otherwise injure to save himssIf from aeath or great bodily harm.

LOCAL PHYSICIAN
SEES new SURGERY

1t occasionally happens that things
pertaining to Medicine and Disease
have a public interest and which the
people should know about. At Mer-
cy Hospital in Chicago, few days
ago DR.. LaPorte of Baltimore exhib-
itel a number of cases of old and
long standing diseases of the bones
and joints, hitherto supposed to have
been incurable, treated by him by a
process known only to the profession
with the most marked results of COM
plete recovery.
There were present at this exhi-
bition a number of the most promi-
nent Surgeons in the United States
who fully endorsed the methods OF
DR.. LaPorte. 1t is noted also that
members of the class at the Surgica
Laboratory of the city, where DR.
George McSwain is taking practica
lessons in surgery, were invited t.
be present, and that DR.. McSwaiI
was one of the favored ones who sav
the results of the treatment an'
heard the lecture of DR.. LaPorte.

CHICAGO EVANGELIST OF
MUCH NOTE AND ABILITY
Has Travelled Extensively Abroad and
Is Learned And Interesting
Evangelist.

The latter part of May has been
determined upon as the date for the
revival here for the Christian church.
Rev. J. E. Reynlds, pastor of the
church is to be complimented that
he has secured DIR. Herbert Yeuell, of
Chicago, who is an evangelist of ten
years experience, and has had charge
of successful and inspirational meet
ings in various parts of the country.
His rare literary ability coupled with
his culture gained from extensive
travel in Europe, Asia and Africa,
add to his interest and capability as
speaker, and it is fortunate that
he uses these talents TO attract people
to the Gospel story and to the
Christ
1t is claimed by his many admirers
that DR.. Yeuell throws all his energy
into this his life work-preaching the
Gospel Of Christ, that his delivery is
forceful and attractive, and yet SO
simple and direct that it never fails
to make sincere and successful ap.
peal to his hearers. DR.. Yeuell him.
self believes that it is not the power
of utterance, but "The Gospel is the
Power of God unto Salvation" and
thus accounts for his success as an
evangelist.
Such leader will render ser
viceable blessing to the community
There will be no question of the
crowds, who will avail thesmelves Of

Wearing OueraHs Is
New Fad OUer Nation
Paris, Tennessee, Also Takes Part in
Nation Wide Movement To
Lower Costs.

Boys of Atkins Porter School were
the first here to join the Nations Ov-
erall Brigade. Monday afternoon
the merchants did land Office bus
mess in overalls, and Tuesday almost
the entire masculine element of the
school appeared in denim. Wednes-
day, these youngsters demonstrated
their stand against high prices, by
parading around the square in their
new apparel.
Grove boys have likewise lined up
with the Cleans" army and are grad
ually making their appearance in the
workman's uniform. However, the
towns supply of overalls is rapidly
diminishing, and it is feared the new
lot, which must be ordered will sell
at an increased price.
Whether any great dress economy
or saving to parental pocket books
will result from the adoption of ov.
erals is open to question. One wei
known Paris mother considers it only
passing fad" that incurs an extra
expense, "and | only bought a boy
scout outfit last week." she said. II
certainly is true that approximately
overalls have already advanced more
than wooden clothes, because paii
of boys overalls that sell for $2.5(
today, could have formerly beer
bought for SO cents. 1t has beer
suggested by the opposition even
that the overall factories are behinC
the movement. Of course if tn,
boys continue to wear the jeans, an.
reasonable length of time, that is ;
| different matter.
In some communities, the overall
plan has taken ON new stunt in tn
form of a "patch club" in Fremont
Neb., where the members have pied
ged themselves to wear their oil
clothes until prices fall. Colleg
students at Evansville, Ind, also con
sidered overalls not real economy
claiming that the fad would die out
and organized an "Old Clothes Sc
ciety." Elgin, ILL.,, has also forme
an Old Clothes Club. Peoria, Ill
has organized "Buy Nothing Club
and pledged themselves to forego a
luxuries.

SMALLEST AUTOMOBILE is
MADE OF MANY STANDARDS

Probably the smallest automobile
now in service is that one built by
Fritz Reuter- of San Antonio, Tex,
who operates a large auto repair
shop there. Mr. Reuter- has young
son, and he was prompted to build
the miniature car by request on
the part of Reuter- Junior some two
years ago. The machine has only
recently been completed.
Saving discarded parts picked up
in the repair shop over this period
of time, Mr.. Reuter- has succeeded in
producing a very complete car which
is operated by electric motor and
storage battery. There are parts of
many makes of cars used in its con-
struction, neither Fords nor Pierce
Arrows being neglected A statuette
of the we'll known "Time to Retire

Drinks At Fountains
Airplane in Prices
Coca Cola Now Costing Eight Cents
Across Fountain Bars; Other
Drinks Airplane.

Brave Coca Cola withstood the
pressure as long as possible, but has
at last succumbed to the demands of
II. C. L. and arose this week 33 1-3
percent a glass, or from 6 to 8
cents. The price went into effect
at all local fountains Saturday. Along
with Coca Cola, all phosphates, in
cluding lemon, grape, pineapple,
cherry, ETC., aeroplaned These now
sell for cents each inclusive of war
tax.
The increased cost of materials,
based chiefly on the high price of
sugar, is given by the operators of
soda fountains as the excuse for the
raising of the price on soft drinks.
Coca Cola has advanced from $1.35
to $500 per gallon, wholesale. A
gallon serves 1913 gasses. Materials
for phosphates have advanced 200
percent.
Ices, soda waters, and more solid
drinks at the fountains were not in
cluded in this recent price raising
as prices of these were raised some
time ago.

MONTHLY MEETING
COUNTY TEACHERS
Miss Esther Clark and Prof. J. II
Bayer Discuss Important De-
tails Before Meeting.

Saturday last at the court house,
the County Teachers Association
met in regular monthly session, when
in the absence of the president, Supt.
Joe Routon, presided.
Mr.. Routon announced to the
teachers that a graduating day for
the eighth grade pupils of the county
would soon be determined. He Sc
lected Mrs. A. P. Yates, Miss Annie
B. Hill, and Miss Esther Clark to
decide upon the exact date.
Many who were on program were
not present on account Of a basket
ball game at Puryear.
Miss Esther Clark made a short
talk on "What Literary Society
May Mean to a School" Miss Clark
emphasized the following values Of
literary society: 1t offers instruc-
ton in parliamentary laws; it causes
the pupils to take a greater interest
in their school studies; it, trains the
pupils to appear in public; it tests
their ability to talk to an audience
upon short notice; it leads the pupils
to seek information in the best mag
azines; it reveals to the public the
value of an education; it helps to
| finance the school; and it develops
! the school morally and socially. In
her conclusion Miss Clark added that
literary society would cause the
pupils to realize that they themselves
are raising the standard of their
school.
In a very forcible manner Mr.. J.
H. Bayer explained "The Schools
Reation ii the Social and Moral
Welfare of the Community. After
showing how the school was link
between home and state, he empha'
sized the Importance of having ar
efficient teacher. According to Mr.
Bayer, it was the teacher who re
sponded to the needs of the late war
it is the teacher who makes the home
and it is the teacher who moulds so
ciety. He revealed the fact tha
education, like fire out of its place
is dangerous. He stated that people
were too apt to think that a schoo
is what the board makes it or that
is the building or ground. Mr.. Bay
er declared that after all the teache
is the school. He urged the teach
ers to be consecrated and devoted t.
their work. He sounded warning
note by saying that the Commercial
world was killing the goose that lay
the golden egg, the teacher. IL
insisted that teachers should not eS
pect raise in their salaries withou
, raising the standard of their worE
/ He concluded by saying that the fu
ture destiny of the nation lies i
the development and growth of ou
schools. :,
After commenting very favorabl
upon the discussions of the afternoo
, Mr.. A. P. Diggs, chairman Of the ell
! mentary board of education, aske,
"Where are the other teachers" +
stated that he believed the schoo
:. were better than they had been ;
G any previous time, and that he e.
o pected greater things for the schoo
> in the near future. Mr.. Diggs a
y nounced that the board of educatic
IS would meet April 27, to elect teac
l. ers for the ensuing year.

WILL TAKE MUCH
Time TO REPLACE
DAMAGED BRIDGES
Tuesday Morning Cloudburst IN This
And Adjoining Counties Caus-
ed Much Damage.
COUNTY BRIDGES WERE
MORE OR LESS DAMAGED
New $500 Bridge At Jones Mill Com
pletely Lost; Other Bridges
Swept Away.

The heavy rain storm of Tuesday
morning is said to have been the most
destructive to roads and bridges that
the county has ever known. Big
washouts. gulleys, ETC., have defaced
the highways, and when approached
upon the damage done to the bridges,
one member of the county road board
stated that since the rain bridges in
the county were "thing of the past. F"
The west part of the county seems
to have been the most severe suffer
err, as is practical because the worst
path of the storm came from the di-
rection of Mckenzie and Hico, where
it wreaked very great damage, wash
ing out about twelve miles of railroad
track between Mckenzie and Hollow
Rock Junction and impeding trains
on the L. & N. and N. & C. for sew
eral hours, as well as doing much
damage to personal property.
The new $500 bridge at Jones Mill
on the Obion river was swept away
also another big Obion bridge. This
represents only small part of the
thousands of dollars damage which
the unusual rainfall did to the roads
and bridges. The Mays bridge over
Holly Fork was left intact, and this
is one of the older bridges in the
county The reason for this is that
it was perhaps erected above high
water mark.
Work on the roads and bridges, SC
as to make them at least passable
was begun Immediately by Supervisor
Vandyke and other road men. II
will likely take some time, and {
large expenditure to replace tht
damage the storm caused in just ;
few hours.
