Washington, D. c., Aug. %, 1921-In
the Republican caucus on the Fordney
Tax Revision Bill to fool the people,
President Harding's newly assumed
leadership in legislation got severe
jolt. The recommendations of the
President, Secretary Million and the
majority of the Republicans on the
Ways and Means Committee that the
r.peal of the excess profits taxes and
the reduction of the higher surtaxes
be made retroactive to January l last,
were defeated by republican insurg.
ents led by Congressman Mann, for
mer Republican floor leader, sup
ported by Congressman from the
western agricultural states.
Excess profits taxes, as is we'll
known, are not paid by the corpora
tion but are passed on to the consum.
er. For this year they have been
paid by the consumer for seven
months and are now in the treasures
of the corporations. II President
Harding and his Secretary OF the
Treasury and the reactionary Repub-
licans in the House could have their
way in maxim the bill retroactive with
respect to these taxes, the money
so collected could have BEEN passed
out by the corporations in dividends.
AS it is, assuming that the bill passes
in it's present form, they will be paid
into the public treasury.
Although the insurgent members
of the Republican caucus won a vic
tory in compelling the collection of
these excess profits taxes this year,
81 Republicans out of 1876 voted to
let the corporations retain these tax
es, and in this manner repay the
principal contributors to the Repub-
lican campaign fund.

IN EASTESN MARKETS

C. s. Jenkins and J. c. Darwin of
Jenkins & Darwin Bros, are now in
New York for the purpose of buying
their fall and winter stock of goods,
and expect to be away from two to
three weeks, as they will visit Phila-
delphia, Boston and perhaps other
market centers before their return.
The big department store which these
gentlemen represent is one of the
largest and best known establish
ments in the whole Upper Cumber-
land section, and an ever increasing
volume of business, necessitates
spending some time in the big east
ern markets in order to supply the
demands of this firms wide circle of
patrons.

YORK FARM FUND

The York Farm Fund which is be
ing Systematically pushed by the Ro
tary Clubs and newspapers through
out the state Is steadily growing, and
it is believed by the leaders of the
movement that the $4,000 will be
raised before the campaign is over.
The Herald opened it's columns for
subscriptions to this fund because 1t
believed the cause to be a worthy
one, starting the subscription with
$500. Up to this time there have
been no responses, and unless the
people of this county respond in some
practical way within the next week,
there will be no further appeal made,
as the Herald does not desire to re-
ceive subscriptions of they are not
voluntarily and cheerfully given.
Sergt. York through no fault Of his
own, is unable to meet the payments
which will soon be due ON his farm.
He is conceded to be great here(
and one of which the whole country
is proud. His deeds of valor are not
legendary or mere rumors. but they
stand on the records OF the country,
proven beyond all question by his
comrades and superior officers. He
is exceedingly modest In his wants
and could have been worth probab-
ly a million dollars today If he had
cared to parade himself before his
via film and platform.
He has been severely criticised by
people who have taken his retiring
modesty to mean. that he never did
the things for which he has received
credit, but these critics are experts
only in jumping at conclusions with
out investigating the true history of
the man whom they attempt to be-
little, and whose vision of real pat
riotism they are incapable of conceiv-
ing

CANDIDATES BUSY

County politics are warming up In
old Putnam county and then ext ten
days bids fair to be several degrees
above normal even for the sweltering
season of August.
Algood Moore, Tom Scarlet, Ern-
est Boyd and Sam N. Jared, candi-
dates respectively for the Offices of
County Court Clerk, Circuit Court
Clerk, County Attorney, and County
Superintendent OF Public Instruction
had no opponents for the nomination,
and according to the rules Of the
Executive Committee have been de-
clared the nominees. Consequently
their names will not appear on the
ballots, at the election on Sept. 3.
For the offices of Register, Sheriff
and Trustee there Is qualified can
didates, the trustees race furnishing
exactly one half of the number, with
five aspirants for the Office Of regis
ter and four running for sheriff. The
field is full Of good, capable candi-
dates and there should be a cnosider-
able interest manifested by the vot-
ers of both exes. Our Democratic
women should not fail to exercise
their rights to vote in this party elec.
tion and their doing so will prove of
inost inn ah1n VA luo tO tho marty as q
whole. Woman suffrage is as much
part Of our constitution now as the
prohibition amendment, or any Of the
other amendments on the federal stat
utes as for that, and it is to be hoped
the good women Of the county will go
to the polls ON Saturday, Sept. and
cast their ballots for their favorites
in the Democratic primary election

PASCHALL
D'''' MCDONALD
MURDERED
Former Cooksviiis Citizen and His
Associate Meet Tragic End.

The people Of COokeville and vi.
cinity were greatly shocked to hear
of the tragic affair near Jellico last
Monday afternoon in which Paschall
Mcdonald, a former citizen here was
shot and instantly killed, together
with Andy Wortham, by two men
whom they were attempting to put
under arrest. BOtn men were depu-
ty sheritfs and had one at the re-
quest of some citizens to arrest two
men who were creating a disturb
ance on the public road between
Jellico and LaFollette, and on ap-
preaching them were shot down like
dogs.
Paschall Mcdonald was we'll and IA
vorably known here, as he made his
home in this community up to about
six years ago when he moved to Har-
riman and little later to Jellico. He
was younger brother OF Writ and
Benton Mcdonald. He had a number
of relatives and close friends in Put
nam county who will be sorely griev-
ed to learn of his sudden and tragic
end, but it is a consolation to know
that he died int he discharge of his
duty. His remains were inferred at
Knoxville yesterday.
The men who did the killing were
arrested and lodged in the Camp
bell county Jail at JacksbOro. They
had two women with them at the
time, who were also taken into GUS
tody. The indignation Of the citizens
of that section was very much arous-
ed over the affair, and it was feared
that mob violence might break out
among them, so precautions were taxi
en- to guard the Jail. The preliminary
hearing was set for Friday. Speedy
justice, it is hoped, will be meted out
to the murderers, who are obviously
desperadoes of the worst possible
type.

PRICE UNION
REVIVAL IN
PROGRESS
Good Sermons and Large congrega-
ton.

The Price union meetings which
have been in progress since Sunday
at the big tent on the city school
campus have been drawing big crowds
at each service, and the interest is
growing each day.
DR.. Price has been preaching some
very logical and forceful sermons and
laying the foundation for a great re-
vival spirit among our people which
should result in great and lasting
good. Miss Sara c. Palmer, his as
sistant, is doing wonderful work
in organizing the women and young
girls for the work Of saving souls.
Her afternoon meetings are well at
tended and much interest is being
manifested. Rev. John e. Thomas,
choir director, is proving himself to
be a masterful leader, and his solos
are being enjoyed to the utmost by
the large congregations which assem-
BILE at each service. Mrs. jeff Wall,
pianist, is demonstrating her wonder
full gift as musician as she has not
heretofore had an opportunity to do
in Cookeville, as she has brand new
grand piano with excellent volume,
which was furnished for the occas-
ion by the 0. X. Houck Piano Co., Of
Nashville, and is one Of the very
Ana 1cfv &c nyrn
Cookeville.
With this quartet of true and tried
evangelistic leaders, there is every
reason to expect one of the most
successful revivals Cookeville ever
experienced and the progress made
thus far is very gratifying indeed.
, The meeting will continue until Sun
day, Sept. 4, the last service being
held on Sunday evening. There has
been no morning services this week,
but during next week DR.. Price will
deliver two sermons each day, while
Miss Palmer will not hold her regu-
lar afternoon services as has been
done this week.
There have been a number of peo-
pie who live in the country at the
services each might, but 1t is hoped
that a great many more will partici-
pate in the meeting from now until
its close Arrangements will be made
to take care of the crowds no mat
ter how large they may get to be,
and it is a great opportunity for our
people from every adjacent commun-
ity to take part In the services and
help to make this the biggest and
best revival meeting ever held in
Putnam county.
Tonight DR.. Price will deliver
special sermon to young people be-
tween the ages of Is and Is, on "The
Trail of the American Boy" To-mor-
row (Friday) evening the young
folks chorus will be the feature of the
service. This event Is expected to
draw one of the largest congregations
of the whole meeting.

BYRD p. ALLISON
POSTMASTER AT GALLArIN

The many friends of Byrd P Alli-
son, former citizen of this county and
for a number of years postmaster at
Monterey, will be pleased to learn
that he has received the appointment
as acting postmaster at Gallatin and
has taken active charge of the office.
Mr.. Allison served as Monterey's
postmaster for term of fifteen years
during which time the Office made
wonderful growth. He always took
a personal interest in the upbuilding
and advancement Of the community
Putnam County herald. (Cookeville, Tenn.) 1903-1922, 1921-08-25

and can be counted on to be among
the progressive element in whatever
community he may reside. Mr. AL
lison moved to Gallatin something
more than a year ago, and it is said
did some telling work in the Republi-
can ranks in Summer county at the
last national election. He takes an
especial pride in giving the public
service and there is no doubt but
that he will make the people of Gal
latin an efficient and obliging post
master.

ry of Maddux & Massa returned
Thursday from week spent in the
ST. Louis markets, purchasing dry
goods, clothing, shoes, furnishing
goods, millinery, ETC., for the biggest
fall trade in the history of this popu-
lar store. Everything has been pur-
chased with the single view of pleas
ing the public by selling them the
goods they want at reasonable pric-
es, and they are anxious for the peo-
pie to come to their store and exam
inc the big stock of goods which they
will soon have opened up, ready for
inspection and sale.

If Jere Whitson could be induced
to continue to serve Putnam county
for five years as County Road Super
visor, this county would have one Of
the best systems of public roads in
Tennessee, and the realty values Of
the county, by virtue of such am Inn
provement in our public thorough
fares, would be enhanced hundreds
OF thousands of dollars.

Highways.

The sermon Sunday evening at the.
Congregational church concerned the;
importance Of highways. The preach
er outlined the growth and value Of,
good roads in the promotion Of the
stability Of the land by showing their
contribution to the prosperity of busi-
ness, the consolidation Of social good
will through the promotion of fellow
ship; and the stimulation Of intel1i-
gence because of the wider contacts
with people Of other sections. IN part
he proceeded to say: 4 81 .z. !. II. .>1
Highways are called such because
they are high ways, lifting above the
clinging mud and retarding sand, the
bog and marsh. A greater stability
of the land can be obtained by the
irmer founding of another highway
the Highway Of God, the way in which
Jesus conducted his life..
