John Dunlap Build
ing Up-to-date Barn

Meridian, Aug. Isl was mis-
taken in my write-up last weel;
about Ethel Pope not having
the scarlet fever for it later
proved to be scarlet fever. Lawrence
Perry's little girl, Louise, had the
same trouble. However, both are
recovering and no new cases report
ed.
J. 0. Dunlap has pulled back his
old barn and is grading a place to
erect a new and up-to-date stock
barn. Johnnie is one of our leading
farmers and truckers, and also car
penter-all the time busy and it
goes without guessing that he does
his work in apple-pie style.
Rev. W. M. (Bill Gillian, who
lives and pastorates a large U. S.
A. Presbyterian church at Borden,
near Knoxville, is spending few
days of his vacation among his kin
and friends in these, old hills. The
object of his coming is to see his
sister, Mrs. Cappie Jenkins, and her
children. Mrs. Cappie and her year
old baby are both in the last stages
of consumption. They are planning
to build her a house near Tom Gill
liam so he can see after them.
Prof. Wright Perry is teaching a
very successful school at Pittman's
Wright is a christian gentleman and
one of Weakley's foremost teachers.
N. B. Alternately has crew of
hands cutting hickory blocks off
some of his McAdams land. He in
tends to clear many acres of this
fine land and put in cultivation.
We certainly sympathize with
Mrs. Fred Galley in the loss of her
dear mother, Mrs. Chas. Potter.
Mrs. Potter died early Sunday morn
ing at her home near Catfight of
consumption. Mrs. Potter leaves
husband and four children and 9th
er relatives and many kind friends.
He maiden name was Terry, sister
of Lunie Terry, Greenfield.
Mrs. Ellen, widow of W. H. Can
trell, has completely lost her eye
sight, though her health is so i'm
proved that she was a BILE to attend
meeting last week at the Primitive
Baptist church, Greenfield. 1t was
a pitiful sight to see her being led in.
Paul Jenkins baby fell from the
porch Sunday morning and cut a
cash in his face. DR.. Crawley was
called to attend the little fellow.
We are glad to report Ed Has
Sin's baby as better.
l am some times censured for
writing things too big, or, in other
words, I exaggerate to much, and l
wish you all to please pardon one

;oing to quit this exaggerating bus

Hot Winds Hurting
Cotton Crop West

Reports to The Commercial Ap-
peal of the average date of Aug. IL
indicate that about normal deterio-
ration of the cotton crop has occurr-
ed since July Fl.
Deterioration in Texas, South Car
DINA and Georgia has been rapid
and severe, but the crop of the CEN
trail belt is in relatively good condi-
ton.
Temperatures have been rather
high throughout most of the belt.
Georgia complains mostly Of too
much rain, while the trouble in Tex
as and Oklahoma and over consid-
cradle areas or North Carolina was
drouth. Hot winds caused fruiting
to be retarded in Oklahoma and some
plants were killed, but damage still
serious, caused by hot winds, oc-
Cured in Texas.
Notwithstanding many drawbacks
the crop of Central and North Texas
appears to be in fairly satisfactory
condition. The extremely hot winds
in Texas, judging from reports, did
not check boil weevil activity to the
extent that might have been expect
ed. Boil worms are also complained
of. Wet weather in Georgia was ia
vorable for weevil activity.
The crop in Arkansas seems to be
doing well, although deterioration,
due mostly to boil weevil, has been
severe in some localities, while
drouth caused further damage in
others.
Fruiting, it is reported, has been
fair to good, and most sections re-
port a fairly good bottom crop al
ready assured, but many state that
this is about all the crop that will
be made.
Cultivation was excellent, and this
has been a big factor in the pro-
gress of the crop thus far.
The future of the crop is probably
more dependent upon boil weevil
than of any other one thing.
Dry weather to the point of dam
age from drouth, it seems, is regard
ed as the most favorable condition
for the crop from this time forward.
This would hasten maturity and
probably check weevil.
Fields as a rule are clean, labor
is plentiful and the plant healthy
looking.
The above report is based upoR
replies received from correspondents
Of The Commercial Appeal, covering
1872 counties producing states.

Big Car Stolen in
Michigan Captured
Here by Will Dunn

Deputy Sheriff Will Dunn of the
18th district, has always been rated
one of the best deputies in the coun-
ty. He served in this capacity un-
der Sheriff Brasfield, and his chief
said to US number of times that
he could always depend upon Dunn.
He is now serving as deputy under
High Sheriff Bullock and is making
for himself record that some day
will land him in the sheriff's office,
if you don't watch out.
The other day-Saturday-Dunn
captured a big Willys-Knight car
had been stolen Gin Jackson, Mich,
and driven through to this county
and left in the 18th district. Will
got in touch with the owner, wired
him at Jackson, Mich, and on Mon
day received wire notifying him
to hold the car.

THE CROSS ROADS

September will be here and the
boys and girls must make some i'm
portant decisions. Thousands who
have been in school are now con-
fronted with the problem of what
to do next. Shall they at once take
up industrial or commercial pursuits
or go to school. Many do not yet
{realize the changed conditions of
affairs. This is an age of special
lists. Industrial organizations and
economic conditions make it prac-
tically impossible for the unframed
to make financial success in life.
How long will it take the farm hand
to pay for Tennessee farm by his
daily toll? What chance does the
young person in town stand to own
a home if he depends only upon his
muscle and Drawn? But granting
that an occasional one should man
age to succeed in making money,
how much time would be left for the
refinement of life, for wholesome
pleasures and social service?
1t is sometimes urged that a col
lege education does not increase
ones earning capacity and that
therefore time and money spent in
going to college are both wasted.
This objection to a college educa-
ton might be valid if it were found
ed in fact, and if ones happiness
and worth to human society could
be accurately measued by the stand
ards of the market place. But such
is not the case. The Great Teach
err declared that "a mans life con-
sisteth not in the abundance of the
things he possesseth." The tenden-
cy to apply material tests to intel
lectual and spiritual values is one
curse of this age. The young per-
son who plans for life with money
alone as the goal is doomed to miss
happiness and meet with tragic dis
at every turn of the
road Statistics abundantly prove
that the right kind of an education
does increase ones earning capaci-
ty, but above all it prepares for use
fulness in church and state.
Wise and good parents will stand |
like sign posts to direct their chill
dren to look at life, not from the
of dollars ITO be gained, |
but from that of service to be rem
dered. They will teach their chill
dren the lesson of the parable of the |
talents, that our ability belongs to
God and that we must increase it all |
we can that the sum total may be |
invested in his service. Parents
should direct their children along |
The college road, not merely be
cause college education will in
crease their earning capacity, but
because it will increase their ability
% serve their fellow man by the
will of God.

Overall Strikes
Back at Enemies
Who Attacked Him

John W. Overall, republican ma
tional committeeman from Tennes-
see, before leaving FOR Washing
ton Saturday, struck back vigorous
ly at the political enemies within the
republican party who are attempting
to unhorse him.
In addition to denying vigorous
1y the charges Of political trafficking
that have been made against him,
he gave out letter, which he had
addressed to John J. Gore of Cooke
vile, chairman of the republican
state executive committee, in which
he requested that the committee be
convened upon his return FROM
Washington so that full investiga-
ton of the charge may be made.
The letters follow:
"Hon. John J. Gore, Chairman,
"Cookeville, Tennessee.
"You no doubt have seen all
of these charges against me in
I the papers, which are absolutely
I false and unjust.
81 want a full investigation
made by the state committee at
as early time as can be arranged.
II am going to Washington
tonight and will be there per-
haps all next week. Would be
glad to have the committee
called as soon after my return
as convenient.
with best wishes | am,
"Your friend,
. JOHN W. OVERALL"
The statement of Mr.. Overall to
the public follows, in part:
81 have wired to Washington re-
questing a thorough examination Of
the charges preferred against me by
Senator Mcclellan, and have also re-
quested our State Chairman, Mr..
Gore, to call the State Committee to-
gether and to make a thorough ex-
animation in the state.
81 have been a lifelong member
of the republican party in Tennes-
see. / have spent too much OF my
time and too much of my personal
money in furthering the interest OF
my party in this state and in the
nation, to be thus attacked bitter
ly and my honesty venOmously as
sailed by political enemies, without
an investigation that will prove the
utter falsity of the insinuations that
have been made against me and my
personal honor.
II have, therefore, demanded that
the Republican State Executive
Committee be called together I'M
mediately, so that every shred OF
evidence, every check stub, every
cancelled check, and every bank en-
try be laid before it, and this cloud
removed from my name,
