James Dewey Smotherman
Dies After Brief Illness.


of Rev. and Mrs. J. L. Smother
man of this city. died in a hospital
in Nashville at $50 o'clock last
Monday night, Aug. 10Th. 1921
after an illness of only a few
weeks. He was 22 years of age,
being born at Highland, jackson
County. on the 3rd day of Decem-
ber 1899. He yemoyed to Garth
age with his parents in the fall
of 1900 and lived here the remain
der of his life, and the town of
Carthage never produced a more
worthy young man.
Dewey Smotherman was in.
deed a good boy and had he been
permitted to live he would de
veloped into useful man. He
was Industrious, conscientious,
and Christian young man who
stood on broad principals at all
times. He professed religion
when small boy and joined the
Carthage Methodist church and
lived a true Christian life. He
graduated from the Carthage
high school in the class of 1919
and two years ago he entered
the medical department of Emory
University at Atlanta, and was
making a good record in all his
work in the University. At the
time the armistice of the late
war was signed, Dewey was in
training at Vanderbuilt Universi-
ty, and had thu war continued a
short while longer he would likely
have been in the service of his
country in France.
Throughout his school attend
ance he always made high grades
and was always highly respected
by his school mates. During
school vacations he sought en-
ployment and was always busy.
1t was his ambition to thoroughly
equip himself as a physician and
he strove to bear the larger bur-
dens or such expense and relieve
his parents in this respect.
Dewey Smotherman was such
a young man as to make a fitting
example for any boy to follow.
The remains were brought
from Nashville on the noon train
Tuesday and in the afternoon
funeral services were conducted
at the Methodist church by Rev.
M. N. Ford, assisted by Revs.
S. R. Bratcher and Grin Lynch,
who spoke in the highest terms
of the excellent character of the
young man and the beautiful life
he had lived. The esteem in
which Dewey was held by those
who knew him was manifested
by the large collection of beauti.
full flowers that banked the altar
during the funeral services.
The remaines were laid to rest
in the new Carthage ceme-
terry. Carthage Courier.

Bad Billy He'll, was captured and

Great crowds of excited people
are visiting the Jail to get a peep
at this noted desperate, who has
been so active for the last
few years, in leading other men
of his own ilk and stripe over on
our town, to rob and Kill and as
he boastfully said TO reduce the
population down to a minimum
or to wipe the town off the map. "
1t was indeed a great catch and
very fortunate for this place
when we captured Bad Billy He'll,
for he is a bad, bad man and has
been a terror to this town and all
my other towns for many years.
1t seems that he was born under
an evil star and was goaded on
by an evil spirit, all the way
down his bloody career. his en-
vironments were bad from the
beginning.
A "Whizzer" reporter visited
him in his cell last night and
heard him give a brief history of
his life in his own words.
He said II was born in in Cad

the first time about twenty years
ago. About this time | was very

my mother and father were very
poor and l lived with the m in

by the pet name of "Crosseyed

FEED, SEED AND FERTILl-
Ter INSPECTION GIVEN
FREE TO FARMERS
OF TENNESSEE.

Phe operation of Tennessee
Department of Agriculture's
division Of feed, seed and fertil-,
izer inspection reaches to the
most sections of the State and
affect directly every feeder of
live stock, every farmer in the
State. If the services offered by
this inspection were taken adj
vantage of by the people, many
thousand dollars would be saved
to them annually an at no cost,
for the service is free.
Impure agricultural seeds have
cost tht farmers of Tennessee
every year much more than can
be estimated in dollars and cents
and a large part of this great
loss could have been prevented.
None of the large seed dealers
in the State will buy Tennessee
grown red clover seed, but go to
other States fro that seed. be-
cause 80 per cent of the Tenn
essee red clover seed contains
Dodder (Lovevine), the worst
enemy with which the clover
grower has to contend. The
Tennessee seed carry this noxi
Gus weed because farmers have
not exercised proper care in buy
ing seed for planting, and have
sown weed seeds along with low
grade clover seed. Farmers are
too often influenced by the low
price when they go to buy field
seeds. Purest seed are cheapest
in the long run.
1t is the duty of seed inspectors
to examine agricultural seed
offered for sale in the State, and
whenever seeds below the stand
ard required by law is found it
is their duty to prohibit its sale.
and if necessary. confiscate the
seed and prosecute the dealers.
But when we consider the vast
territory included in the State,
and the fact that only three
travelling inspectors are provided
to cover all of this territory, it Is.
readily seen that it is physically
impossible to reach all points
often enough. In consequences,
many shipments of seed get by
without being examined There
is remedy for this, but it does
not seem to be generally appreci-
ated.
The State maintains a seed
testing laboratory and will in.
spect any samples of seed sent
in by farmers. Farmers should
take advantage of this and send
samples to the State Chemist
before buying The seed will be
tested and the farmer advised
as to their purity or impurity.
Dealers and consumers are asked
to cooperate with the Depart
ment of Agriculture by taking
advantage of this service which
pends to protect them against
fraud. u
The consumers of commercial
feedstuffs and commercial fertil.
izers have at their command the
services of the same inspection

asks the same to cooperation in
to these commodities so largely
used by farmers. Many tons Of
low grade feeds are shipped into
the State, and while it is probs-
BILE that the greater part of such
shipments are caught by the
inspectors. some of it gets by,
! and the consumers who buy such
feed is defrauded.
For the protection of the con,
sumer, it is required by law tina
