Congress has investigated the ship

"These ships" the committee re-
port on the bill said," are urgently
needed in our foreign business. If
the government continues to own the
ships the service desired can and will
be maintained. 1t will develop busi-

Introducing the Bassarisk.
r meet a bassariSIi {?


No, not a basilisk; that is something
different. A baSsarisk is a cacOmiXle.
But the animal is better known as
the "civet cat"-though why SO called
nobody knows, inasmuch as it is not
civet and not a cat
1t is a strange little creature, relat-
ed to the raccoon, with a very long,
bushy tail ringed In black and white.
Sometimes it Is called ring tailed
cat" and sometimes a "cat-squirrel!" !"
the latter designation bestowed on
account of it's squirrel-like habit Of
climbing trees and nesting In hollow
branches.
Like a cat, 1t catches rats, mice and
small birds. 1t is about 16 inches
long, not counting the tail, which
measures another 16 inches. In color
1t is brownish gray. 1t is night
prowler, like cat, and often makes It's
home In outbuildings and deserted
ranch houses.
The civet cat ranges from Mexico
and Texas to California and as far
north as southern Oregon. Occasion
ally it is kept In captivity as a pet.

/ ABOUT COMMON HOUSE FLY.
He Is Champion Of Filth and Disease and
MuItipIies With Great Rapidly

And there came grevious swarm
of flies into the house of Pharoh, and
into the servants houses, and unto
all the land of Egypt: and the land
was corrupted by reason of the
swarm of flies" Exodus 3:24.
''In the beginning let US get clear
in our heads that the fly is not a dis
1pensation of Providence. He is the
resurrection of our own dirt and
carelessness. He is merely one cf
our own insantary curses coming
home to roost."
Flies we were taught were used to
remind King Pharoah of his wicked
ness and the uncleanliness of his peo-
pie, to plague him until he would
recognize the superiority of his Gre
ator and the race of clean people
such as the great sanitarian, Moses,
was leading.
Flies today serve for the same
purpose. Flies cannot breed with
out filth, and the more filth the more
flies. They are an index to the san
itary condition of the community or
the home. The real purpose of the
fly then, is to serve as a tormenting,
reminder of our own
and the lesson he
will eventually teach is the one of |
Life History
Flies lay their eggs upon any kind |
of decaying, rotton, fermenting |
At laying time the first
choice of the fly as a suitable place
for deposi ng her eggs would be mp
upon hur1 excreta which, of
course, is more dangerous be-
cause of tn death dealing germs Of
typhoid, d. airy and diarrheal di'
;easos of = ancy.
Each fer'ale lays on an average
IF $50 eggs four different times,
making a total of 600 for each fe-
male fly. Eight hours after the egg
s laid it is Matched. The larva
which comes from the eggs is known
is the maggot. The maggot remains
n this stage five days and then
,merges as a fly. The time elapsing
between the laying of the egg and
he mature fly being ten days. 1t is
estimated that one overwintering fly
aging 12O eggs in April will by Sep
ember 10 have produced $685.
'20,O00,000 adult flies. Doesn't the
of these possibilities,
wen regardless of the fact that flies
re disease carriers, indicate in the
trongest possible way the necessity
# a community making war against
his pest?

LIVE TOWN VISITED,

The Chronicle editor spent a
day at Jellico last week attend
ing the East Tennessee Press
Association meeting. We found
Jellico a very live town Of some
5000 to 5000 people brim full
of the most generous hOSpitali-
tv. There was much evidence
of energy and growth in bust
ness, shown by the recent build
ing of $4,000 base ball park
and aero landing and aerOplane
purchased that makes frequent
trips into the "etherial blue"
A recent edition to the town is
the establishment Of an auto
tire and tube plant, a rain coat
factory along with numerous
smaller enterprises.
The newspaper men were
royalty entertained and made to
feel that they were not only
welcome visitors but that the
people were much gratified to-
have the scribes with them.
Jellico certainly is one of the
livest towns in the state for it's
size and it's people cannot bel
surpassed for courtesy and al
wholehearted welcome to those
who come among them. Our
state would be much benefited
if more small towns had the
splendid spirit of push and hos
that prevades in Jelli-
co.

SOME OHIO ELECTIONS
Though Three Times Elected Governor
Mr. Cox Never Had Majority

There is proverbially-lit little profit
in counting chickens before they are
hatched. But neither is it wise to
assume in advance that all the eggs
IN the setting are added 1t is quite
| obvious that Ohio is to be one of the
most hotly contested of all the states
IN the coming election, though the
result of the election may and prob
ably will not depend upon its vote.
1t would be foolish to count on Mr.
Harding having a walk-over in the
campaign. But so it would be fool
ish to doubt his ability to carry that
state even against rival who has
three times been elected Governor.
1t is true that Mr.. Cox has three
times been elected Governor of that
normally Republican State. But on
not one of those occasions were the
circumstances such as would natur-
ally forecast his carrying the State
this year for the Presidency. He
never secured majority of the votes
cast, but was always elected by
mere plurality, and always in some
special circumstances not now pre-
vailing.
The first time in 1912, he was
elected just as Mr.. Wilson was at the
same time elected President, by vir-
tue of the great split in the Repub-
lican party. He ran about $4,000
behind the combined Republican and
Progressive vote, and about 100000
short of majority over all.
Two years later he ran for re-
election, and though the republican
party was by no means fully reuni-
ed at that time, a separate Progress
We candidate being in the field, he
vas badly beaten. He was $1,000
behind the Republican candidate,
$4,000 behind the combined Repub-
lean and Progressive vote, and 49,
700 short of a clear majority. In
hat same year Mr.. Harding ran for
md was elected to the Senatorship,
md Ger that office polled about 3d.
500 votes more than Mr.. Cox did for
Governor. That was the only occa-
ion on which they were both before
he voters of the State at the same
lection.
In 1916 Mr.. Cox ran for Governor
gain. President Wilson was then
unning for reelection on the plat.
orm of "He kept US out of war"
Ir. Cox made himself an appendage
f Mr.. Wilson's candidacy. His 10y
! and obedient editor in Mr.. Cox's
wn paper made a grandstand play
or the German and pro-German
ote. The outcome was that Mr..
;ox was elected by very small plu-
ality of only 6,616; running many
thousands behind his ticket. Had
e been running on his own merits,
yithout the aid of Mr.. Wilson's can
idacy, there is little doubt that ne
yould have been beaten.
Finally, in 1918 the nation was at
yar with Germany, and Governor
'oX's managers made a great drive
I favor Of keeping him in office un-
i the end of the war, and against
horses while crossing
.ream." Also the Republican
latform contained prohibition
ote, and the Governor made a strong
ppeal for the saloon and liquor
ote. The outcome was that he was
a-elected by less than 1900 plu-
atty.
Thus Mr.. Cox never had a major
y of all votes in the State. He
ever won an election on his own
Ierits. The only time when the
Vo were simultaneously before the
aople, he ran many thousands be-
ind Mr.. Harding.-Harvey's Week

RESULTS IN THE COUNTY

The three canvassing boards fOl
the regular republican and democrat
ic primary elections met Monday af-
ternoon of last week and went over
the returns The vote was only nor
NAL in the general election and in the
a vote. The general election in
which a sheriff, trustee and tax as
SCISSOR were elected along with con-
stables and members of the county
board of education showed a total
vote for the county of 1929. The
! democratic primary showed a total
vote for the county of only 254,
about half vote. The republican
primary showed a total vote of only
681, about half vote.
The most closely contested race in
the county was that for the election
of two constables for the first dist
riot in which Henry Turner and D.
M. Swicegood were the winners.
The total vote for each at the six
precincts of the district was as fol-
lows: Henry Turner 1T, D. M.

Inthe race for justice of the peace
for the first district there were four
contestants: C. C. DeRossett, Jere /
Morrow, U. S. Rose, C. M. Wells.
Mr.. Rose was an easy winner. He |
received more votes at the Crossville
precincts-a total of 80 votes-than |
any other candidate received at the
entire six precincts. The total vote
of each was: DeRossett 23, Nor
row 78-of his entire vote Mr.. Nor
row received 80 at his home precinct
at Creston. Rose 153, Wells 5S.
Mr.. Wells received 26 and Mr.. Nor
row % at the Crossville precinct.
On account of being elected tax
assessor Esq. Thos. ]. Kerley resign
ed as Justice of the Peace and J. D.
Brewer was elected in his place.
In the election for the County
Board of Education no one was vo-
ted for in the first district, which
leaves the place with the present in
cumbent, M. L. Taylor. In the sec
ond district A. G. Green was reel -
ted. In the third district l. L. Blu
enss was elected G. w. Davenport
hod held the place for 16 years and

Littleton. In seven precints out of
21 Littleton received no votes. Tay-
lor carried Is precincts out of p
and received every vote in out of
Fl precincts. Littleton received
106 votes in the county and Taylor
365, giving Taylor a majority of
259.
There was no republican candidate
for state senate, the people of this
county being content to support E.
G. Toilet, the unopposed democrat
ic candidate. For f1oater E. C. Nor
veil, the present representative, who
is now serving his second term,
stood unopposed and received a to-
tai vote of 584.
In the race for railroad commiss-
iener, Campbell received 235 and
Houser $40. 1t was known to only
a few that Houser had withdrawn.
For Congress Wynne Clouse was
for the nomination and
received $50 votes in the county.
The contest for state committee
man was between three men: w.
A. Smith, Solon Jones and |. J. HUI
man. The race was fairly close be-
tween them but Smith led with tc-
tai vote of 482, Human came next
with 433 and Jones received 230
Smith and Human elected.
Democratic Primary
The democratic primary was called
in Is precincts and only nine held
the election. The contest for COVER
nor was between Governor Roberts
and w. R. Crabtree. Roberts re-
ceived 166 and Crabtree 70. Had
the vote been nearer the party
strength the majority for Roberts
would have been greatly increased.
In the race for the nomination for
state senator, E. G. Toilet stood un-
opposed and as there is no likelihood
of the republicans putting candi-
late against him, he will doubtless
De elected without opposition.
There was no candidate for float
n and the republican nominee, E. c.
Norvell, will doubtless find an easy
'oad to election the same as Mr.. Toll |
EFT.
The contest for railroad comrlis- |
ioner was between the present en-
.umbent, George N. Welch and W. |
(. Bryson. Mr.. Welch received 191
