 ~Iz3e~ ty,of Spanish
 adventurers probably reached the present site of Memphis on
 the Mississippi. The French under La Salle built fort here about 1882. The English also laid claim to this territory, 1n- cluding it in the grant to North Carolina. It was not until 177O 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 it was promptly annexed to North Carolina. In -1784 the inhabi- tants, indignant over North Car olina's attitude toward them, declared their independence and formed the State of Franklin or Frankland. As this seces- sion was not cOuntenanced by North Carolina, for a 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 179O North Carolina finally ceded this ter ritory to the United States. By 1796 the population had 1n- creased to over 6O,OOO, 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 1866, 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 it's own hands the suppress sion of crime and the admin istration of justice.
 Tennessee contains 42,O22 square miles, and is sometimes called the Volunteer state. It is named after it's principal riv- CT, which is a Cherokee word meaning Crooked River" or "bend in the river"

 If I can come within swords reach of Sab Than" I answered, "I can solve the difficulty in so far as Heium is concerned, but for personal reasons I would prefer that another struck the blow that frees Deiah ThOris.''

 By the way, cousin, am I growing fat?"
 "Oh, now I understand" said the Common Garter Snakes cousin.
 Glad to hear it," said the Common Garter Snake.
 Yes, I'd say you were growing a good deal fatter," the Common Garter Snakes cousin said.
 q thought so," said the Common Garter Snake. That shows Pm grow ing up. When I was young I was pretty thin, as most of us are.
 But now that I am growing up, l am getting fatter, as I should. Glad to see that you think so,/too.
 "Well, before long it will be time to sun myself in the daytime and sleep in the rocks or in the holes by the rocks at night time.
 And then it won't be long after that before I will be going to sleep for the winter Not so long after that"
 "HOw you do think ahead" said the Common Garter Snakes cousin.
 Ut is a wise thing to do," said the Common Garter Snake. And we all will do the same. We'll get together for a winters sleep.
 And pleasant it will be. To sleep is very pleasant. Hiss, hiss, it is most extremely pleasant.

COMMON GARTER SNAKE.

''I'm a Common Garter Snake,'' said the Common Garter Snake, and I'm glad of it. l like to be like that-more or less the same as everybody
 "What do you mean by that, what ever in the world do you mean by that?" asked the Common Garter Snakes cousin.
 'I mean," said the Common Garter Snake, that I'm glad my name is as it is.
 I'm glad that it isn't a high-Sound- ing name, but that it is common. everyday sort of a name. It makes me so much less snobbish and su- pcriOr.
 ''That is, it makes me sound less snobbish and superior. And 1 like to appear that way, for I don't think l am snObbish or superior, and l wouldn't like to be thought either of those things.
 I'm proud of what I am, and yet I am not unduly proud"
 ''What do you mean by saying you are not unduly proud?' asked the Common Garter Snakes cousin.
 q mean," said the Common Garter Snake, that l am not too proud. l am not any more proud than 1 should be. That is what I mean.
 'Now I have 19 rows of scales. I'm proud of those scales. Hiss, hiss, hiss, Pm proud of those scales.
 "Of course they're not scales to hang fishes upon or scales to weigh anything on.
 "They're my own precious scales, and they belong to me! I'm mighty fond of my scales.

Chaplin, Philosopher.

Charlie Chaplin, the movie comedi- an, reads books on sociology and economics when not capering before the camera Before sailing last week from New York for two months vacation in his old home town in England, he made this statement to a New York Times reporter:
 "1 believe in the American labor movement. The workers can no longer be fooled by grand epigrams, The working class is becoming better educated all the time and they are learning to face the facts and cope with them intelligently. The worker has become a reading and a thinking man, and capital must realize that this thinking can only be met with thought, and not threats nor petty worlds There must be an adjustment in this country before there can be any degree of contentment, and cap ital must realize that little more of the profit of industry must go to the workers Before conditions can be stabilized in this country capital must make up it's mind to play the game on the level"

 ON WAGE QUESTIONS

Government ownership and democratic operation of the railroads was an inn portant subject matter for consideration at the quarterly meeting of the Aner1- can Federation of Labor Executive COun- cil in Atlantic City, which adjourned last week At the Denver convention of the Federation a resolution was adopted 'p- structing the A. F. of L. officers and council to cooperate with the railroad la DOT organizations in devlslng program of action.
 While nothing definite along this line is likely until after the wage scale and working agreement controversy, III which the railroad organizations are fully oc- cupied for the present, is concluded. the Council announced that an investigation is under way regarding salaries of rail road executives, with the end of bring ing pressure to bear to have them re- duCed until other wage earnerS on ra1I- roads are paid sufficient to keep them in decency and comfort"
 The Council made 1t plain that the American Federation of Labor would cooperate with the railroad labor or ganizations to the last ditch in their stand on the wage and agreement prop OsitiOnS.
 It was stated that the jurisdictional controversy with the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners which resulted nearly two years in the United Brother hood of Maintenance of Way and Railway Shop Laborers being suspend ed from affiiiation with the Federation, was being rapidly smoothed out and that reinstatement would probably be voted at the meeting of the Council which is scheduled to convene in Washington in November This will add 100000 to the membership rolls of the Federation

Where Kill Comes In.

Babe Ruth is the star home-run knocker because he swings the heav- fest bat ever introduced in the big leagues. His bats are made to order and weigh from 52 to 54 ounces each. Forty ounces is considered a heavy bat by ball players. Cobb and Speaker star hitters of lesser mag nitude, use 38-ounce bats, hardly more than two-thirds as heavy as the bludgeon Ruth swings. Where the kill comes in is being able to hit the ball with such heavy piece of tim Der. When that has been done an average swing puts 1t over the fence.

Buy Iron in Europe.

It is cheaper to ship pig iron from France, Belgium and Germany, by way of the Panama canal all-water route, to Pacific coast cities than to transport 1t by rail from Pittsburgh and Birmingham, Ala, districts. High freight rates are forcing many Pacific coast buyers to place their orders in Europe Thus the American rail roads are losing this business and American workers are kept on the unemployed list because of the wrecking policy of our railroad man agerS.
