Something's Wrong

Horace Greeley told ithe young
men to go ives, ;.nd grow up with the
country. and now easterners might
tell the young men to go west and
keep from walking the streets hun
cry. This week an experienced ma
chinist from New Jersey was here
looking for work and he had been
looking for work from the time he
left New Jersey. He stated THAT
wages for machinists had been cut
TO 40c per hour but there was but
little work even at that figure. An
other fellow, n experienced trades
man. was on hii way west from Him
ois. saying there was little to do in
his state and that too many men were
idle.
This is all rather strange when ii
is known that food and manufactur-
ed products have taken only small
drop and even general raise was ex-
perienced in July. According to
what these tradesmen from the east
tell US food products. clothing. and
most every other article of manufac-
lure should be selling at much cheap
er prices than they are. Women S
and men's wearables are still high.
too high by comparison with what
raw materials sell for, and for what
the farmer must take for his pro-
ducts. A good suit of clothes is cost
ing $40 to $50. Manufacturers of
various necessary commodities must
be Juggling the deal some way to
keep prices OF their products up. 1t
seems to be case of laying off help
to hold the output down and keeping
up the price 20 the consumer.
Automobiles have been reduced
some in price and the manufacturers
are making a big noise about it, They
should drop twice as much to be con-
sistent with farm products and raw
Materials. One OF the biggest fac
tories in the ens' has made lao decline
in price of cars but have reduced the
force in order to keep down output
and maintain !. high price on cars.

THE FARMERS OUTLET

The canning industry is going full
blast and handling variety of farm
and orchard products.
Thousands of employees have work
at good wages-men, women and
children. Many families will make
enough at this seasonal occupation to
carry them through the winter.
This industry is responsible for
making farming profitable in many
sections of the west as it furnishes a
market and an outlet for all manner
of farm crops. 1t should be encour-
aged.

under La Sale built fort here
about 1852. The English also
laid claim to this territory. in
cluding 1t in the grant to North
Carolina. 1t WAS not until ITO
that the first permanent settle
ment was made by james Rob-
ertson and this was soon fol-
lowed by many other settlers
from North Carolina. They
formed what they called the
Washington district, but this
was short lived as 1t was
promptly annexed to North
carolina. In 1884 the inhabi-
tants, indignant over North Car

declared their independence and
formed the State Of Franklin
or Frankland. AS this seces-
sion was not countenanced by
North Carolina, for number
of years a state of confusion
existed with two sets Of officers
trying to govern. Meanwhile
the settlement suffered severely
from hostile Indians and from
the Spanish. who still held Lou
isIana. and controlled the Mis-
sissippi river. In 1890 North
Carolina finally ceded this ter
ritOry to the United States. By
1893 the population had In
creased to over 10000. SO Ten
nessee was admitted as the six
teenth state Of the Union.
At the outbreak Of the Civil
war. Tennessee Joined the Con-
federacy. In 1885, when the
state was readmitted to the Un.
ion. there was much disorder
during the reconstruction period.
This led to the formation of the
Ku Klux Klan, the influence Of
which quickly spread through.
out the Southern states. This
secret organization took into
Its own hands the suppress
