II any surprise could possibly move
Hamilton Certeis to raise an eye
brow, l wonder what it's nature would
be!
Certeis' secretary and Donna Ca
milla had, of course, informed him
Of the arrival of his wife and his
father-in-law. Evidently he took
great pains not to greet Chrystobel
alone. We were gathered in the
splendid salon Of the hacienda when
It's master entered, rather late for
the formal dinner which was the
grand social feature of life at the
hacienda.
Hamilton Certeis advanced to meet
his wife IS a prince is supposed to
meet a princess. Chrys took one step
forward. and her husband kissed her
hand. Don Manuel was presented to
her, Daddy Lorimer was welcomed in
his turn. No stranger could have
guessed that Hamilton Certels was a
noted German spy and an enemy to
the United States, or that Daddy
Lorimer, his former friend and bust
ness associate. knew all Of the facts
in the case.
They are equal forces, those two
was Bob's comment as we watched
the two men. Daddy is so powerful
that he knows he is as safe under
Hamilton Certeis' roof as he is in his
own Fifth avenue office"

away with Daddy, 1 suppose ?"
You can, my dear. 1 expect you
to do so. Daddy ordered the yacht
to come down and stick around near

to Bob an hour after we had left the
dinner table.
80 far as my own trained intelli-

austere Don Manuel has succumbed
to my sisters charms"
He is interested-more than that
he is infatuated" I agreed. but
Chrys doesn't see him"

A BAD SHOWING.

Tennessee's cotton crop, along
with that of all other cotton States,
shows up as being the poorest on
record, as reported by G. L. Nor
ris, field agent, Bureau of Crop Es-
imates, in reporting the condition
of the crop on May 25.
The backwardness of the season
and the excess amount of rainfall
has greatly retarded paintings.
Much of the crop was still unplant-
ed on the above date. Inferior
seed and cold wet ground have
causedmany bad stands, and much
replanting has been done. Lands
in general have been poorly pre-
pared. Not over one half of the
crop is out ofthe ground, and many
fields are becoming veryfoul. But
little working out has been done.
Some reports of the plant dying,
but little complaint of insect pests
in the State. The condition Of
tue crop in the State on May 25
was go percent of normal. No es-
innate of production will be made
.untill after the acreage survey next
month.
The same back wardness is report
ed from all sections Of the cotton
belt, and the crop is generly report
ed in poor condition. 'Boil weevil
is reportedin many sections Of the
South. The condition of the crop
as reported for the United States
is 624 percent. the lowest in fifty
years.

While [ count 1t a high honor to
have received the highest number

Court Clerk and to have been de-
clared the nominee by said com
mittee in the late Democratic
primary, / must decline to stay in
the race any longer and hereby
announce my withdrawal from the
said race, and hope you will either
in convention or otherwise be able
to procure a competent and more
worthy standard bearer for said
Office.
] want to express my sincere
thanks to my friends and voters
who loyalty stood by me and made
my nomination possible. Though

lic and to those who opposed me,
/ have no-unkind words.
If it ever lies in my power to
render the voters of nv native
county any service, the night will
not be too dark nor the task too
great for me to do.
AS yon know, the remuneration
of the Office is SO small and the cost
of living so high that it would be
almost impossible for man with
family to give the Office the atten-
ton it should have and live, should
| remain in the race and be elected,
hence this announcement of my
withdrawal.

ABSENTEEISM
IN THE SENATE

Washington, d. C., June 4 =
Absenteeism in the Senate has be-
come such a habit that it became
necessary totransfer from one COM
mittee to another Senator Borah 8
resolution for an investigation of
the contributions to Presidential
campaign funds. In asking such
transfer, Senator Borah explained
it was necessary because absence OF
Senators had made it impossible
to get aquorum of the committee
to which the resolution was orgi-
.nally referred.
"Gt is difficult to get a majority
of any committee in session now
owing to the absence of so many
Senator'S" said Senator Borah.
Senator Thomas pointed out
that the Senator was transacting
business with only handful of
Senators present, sometimes pass
ing appropriations of millions of
dollars with only few members in
the chamber. Frequently it has
been necessary to direct the SER
geart-at- arms to request the pres
ence Of Senators"
1t is in this way that the majority
party is attending to the Nation s
business under the commission
given to it III the Congressional
election Of 1918, it is merely mark
ing time" as part of ils policy to do
nothing until after the November
election.

T. deny it.
THE SECRET OF TRUST SUCCESS.
My thirty-two years of expert
ence and close study of their meth
DDS have enabled me to learn the
8 secret of trust success. The object
of their formation is to control
prices and strangle competition,
controlling legislation and judicial
decisions being an after thought.
Without freight agreements it
would be useless to make agree
ments on r.; because the differ
ence in FIRE. . swould make diff
ference in the cost to the dealer;
so freights are paid to the jobber
or retailer, or it is equalized with
some given point or otherwise so
manipulated as to make the article
cost the same at any point on de-
livery, no matter from what point
it is shipped.
THE REMEDY.
Often a thrifty young competi-
tor has been driven out of business
by prices being made in his terri
tory that were below the cost Of
production, and Rev. j. z. Upton
of Cottage Grove, Tenn, says he
has known coal oil given away at
Muscogee, Oklahoma, in order to
DRIVE out competitor.
This could easily be done. The
trust could put up the price of oil
only the fraction of cent at its
hundreds of other places of pro-
.duction and recover many times
the loss thus sustained. Under
such conditions the little refinery
would be compelled to 60 out of
business aud sell its stock at what
ever price the trust saw fit to give.
Force every manufacturer of any
article entering into interstate
commerce to price his product at
the factory to all alike in the same
oSS4tities aud on the same terms;

THE NEWBERRY TRIAL.

The Newberry trial shows That
fortunes are spent by candidates
or the interests that wants to elect
friend or secure the defeat of an
enemy. IL there is anything in
my plan of trust regulation, it is
easy to see money might be spent
to defeat me. 1t is said that men
who buy and sell influence freqeut-
ly hire some one on the day of cleo
ton TO influence the disinterested
though honest voter. Look with
suspicion on the men you think
would sell their influence, and if
you see them trying to deliver the
votes of the man who does not read

candidate and ask the friends to do
so.
