CHAPTER TX.
The TeIe0Sann.


A telegram in the hand is worth two
special delivery letters you can't find
so / tore open the yellow envelope.
Now, it is habit of mine to read the
signature before the message. The
signature was my brothers name. My
brother is not telegraph person, ex-
cept for bad news, and the sight of his
name gave me a shock, and for good
half-minute l could not go on with the
message But when l got the courage
to face what had happened in the fam
lily, this is what appeared:
81 am obliged to ask you to come to
Philadelphia tomorrow on urgent bust
ness. Take the train leaving New
York at II a. m. will meet you at
Broad Street station"
| think the first thing that struck
me as queer in it was the large num-
Der of words-words that no expert
enced business man, using Geographic
communication all the time, would
have put in-the ''to's" and "the's;''
and then, 81 an obliged to ask"-my
brother would say, Must ask you
come" or "Please come"
The second queer thing was saying
he'd meet me when his office is Just
around the corner from the station
and he knows / don't expect him to
waste time standing about waiting for
a train that 1ay be late.

To stop falling hair at once and rid
the scalp of every particle of dandruf,
get a small bottle of "Danderips" at
any drug or toilet counter for a few
cents, pour little in your hand and
rub well into the scalp. After several
applications all dandruff usually goes
and hair stops coming out. Every hair

DESTROY TWO STILLS.

Huntingdon, Tenn, July 31.-A well
concealed "moonshine" distillery Of
so gallons capacity, which appeared
to be the centre of an extensive
liquor traffic in Carroll county was
raided by the federal prohibition Off
GERS of Jackson. The distillery was
located two and one-half miles from
Cedar Grove. Eight barrels of beer
and a quantity of singlings were de-
stroyed, but no arrests were made.
Not long after another distillery
this one located about seven miles
northeast of Cedar Grove but over in
Henderson county, was also raided.
This still had a seventy-five gallon
capacity and the entire outfit with a
quantity of beer and singlngs was
destroyed.

RED CROSS EXTENDS
RELIEF TO POLAND.

More than $5,000,OOO has been
spent by the American Red Cross in
aiding the stricken people of Poland.
The organization has nursed the sick,
fed the starving, clothed the naked,
sheltered the homeless, schooled the
children and cared for the orphans
there. 1t has conducted relentless
fight against typhus, cholera and 9TH
er terrible diseases. So to-day mil
lions of men and women in that res
urrected nation speak in grateful ap-
probation of "The Greatest Mother
in the World"
Nearly 200 American Red Cross
workers are now epgoged in relief ac-
tivities in Poland. Four large relief
bases are in operation and eleven mo-
bile units are in the field. During
the last twelve twelve months this or
ganization was largely instrumental
in the re-eStabhshment OF million
refugees at cost for general relief
of more than s1,OO0.O0o. Last winter
more than one-half million orphans
were aided materially, and since then
a series of large orphanages have
been established to give them perma-
nent care.
But for the American Red Cross
aid, officials of Poland declared re-
Gently, millions of people in that
country would have perished with dis
ease, exposure or starvation in last
eighteen months. And the work
there must be kept up for another
year.

THE ULTIMATE CONSUMER
BEARS THE BRUNT.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion having granted freight advances
of 25 per cent. in the South, 35 per
cent. in the West and 40 per cent in
the East with a general advance of
20 per cent. on passenger rates and
SO per cent. on Pullman car charges,
the general public will smell the
patching-even if it lodges the bull
let. Even the railroad men, whose
wages have been materially advanced
will help foot the bill in the increased
cost of transportation.
Those Of the people who must pay
the increased freight rates and are
getting no advance in their wages,
are simply unfortunate and will have
to look for some way to supplement
the daily, weekly or monthly income.
The railroad men have organized
and worked to boost their pay-and
the other fellows who have not done
so, have had no opportunity or did not
know how to use it if they did. If the
farmers could just once organize one
half of their strength, they would
have the world by the tail and with
such a down hill pull that labor or
ganizations would look small in COM
parison.

VOLUME XXXVlI
GENERAL ELECTION AND
PRIMARY RESULTS.

The general election of yesterday
Thursday resulted in the re-elec-
tion Of Trustee w. F. Appleby by a
Majarity 'of TIA, over Cooper C,
Sweat, with % of the % voting pre-
cincts reported. Sheriff Wright and
Tax assessor Woody had no opposi-
tion.
In the Democratic primary, Gov.
Roberts seems to have wen over
Crabtree by perhaps 25,000 majority.
In the Senatorial race, Hon. T. c.
Long cut little figure in this county
and the race was between Tilman and
Swink, with the latter leading. But in
the other two counties the race is
said to be between Long and Tilman,
with the latter leading. Mr.. Tilman
is no doubt nominated.
The congressional primary seems
to have been a landslide for Capt.
Gordon Browning, who won majori-
ties in all counties but Perry, and the
possible exception of McNairy and
Henderson. Capt. Browning's ma
iority will reach over 5000.
Capt. Browning will have much to
live up to in the fact that he has beat
en- one of the best men the 9th or any
other Tennessee district ever had in
Congress-and he is fully capable Of
doing so.
More general and lesses matters in
connection with the election will be
given later. We held over publication
for a day to get most important re-
suits.
