GOOD FOR THE "KULCKERS;"
MAKING 1T HOT FOR VIOLATORS

From a recent letter received from
DR.. Dallas Southland we take the fol-
lowing:
Enjoy your paper SO very much,
especially your reports on breaking up
the bootlegging business, as you know
we Texas people run strong on the
K. K K. out here. We have enough
of this business going on here but
if the Kluckers keep going at the rate
they are travelling now they will have
all the COW thieves and bootleg men
in the pen within short time"
If the Kian will only drop the mask
in public, it would seem that they
would have the opposition largely dis
armed, but so long as they persist in
masking, the public will certainly be
entitled to oppose that. Nothing that
is good needs to be masked and should
not be for it smacks of lawlessness to
hide ones face, no matter if the OBJ
ject aimed at is a worthy one.

FINE FARM BEING OPENED
TWO MILES WEST OF TOWN
Has 81 Acres Under Fence and Mo.t
of 1t Now In Cultivation;
Gets 1900 Ties.

About three years ago w. M. Dawes
came here from Kentucky and bought
2Io acres lying two miles west of
Crossville known as the DeSabla tract.
| There were several acres of old fields
but no house as that had long since
gone to decay. 1t is the same farm
on which Louis deSabla lived more
than fifty years ago.
Mr.. Dawes has now 81 acres under
fence and the most of that in cultiva-
tion. He is cutting railroad ties and
expects to get fully 1000 from the
tract and about 100000 feet of lumber.
Theoriginal purchase price was about
$4,000, but he has refused 10000 for it.
He has been so busy developing the
farm that he has not yet built resi-
dence and is living in hastily con-
structed log house of small dimensions.
He is getting the lumber on ground
for better residence, which he ex-
poets to erect this winter or next
spring. He has built tobacco barn
that will hold 5000 sticks and he is
arranging to put out seven acres of
tobacco next year. He is using the
barn this year for storing rough feed.
Mr.. Dawes has had extensive ex-
perience in growing tobacco in Ken
lucky and understands how it is hand
led from sowing the seed for the plants
to marketing. 1t will be remembered
that tobacco that has been grown in
this county has brought wholesale
price as high as 90 cents pound. Mr..
Dawes feels confident he can make
some good money growing the weed
and will give it try next year.
Mr.. Dawes and family have done a
arge amount of work on the farm and
because of attempting such large de-
much of the work is as yet
ii somewhat of crude condition, but
he rounding up and ironing out pro-
less will come in few years and
here is every indication that he will
live nne of the really valuable farms
# the county in a short time. He is
hauling lime now and arranging to
ime several acres for clover next year.
lie is tireless worker and has that
mechanical turn that enables him to
10 most anything in the way of build
ng or making farm equipment that he
nay attempt. He is deserving of sue
ess and every indication points to
lis finally coming out big winner
n his fight under adverse conditions.

SENATOR GEO. w. POACUE
MAKING ACTIVE CAMPAIGN

Senator George w. Poague IS an
avowed candidate for reelection to
the state senate from this district He
is actively campaigning in White coun
ty this week. He was here for few
days after being in Sequatchie county
with Governor Taylor. In his speech
es Gov. Taylor commended Senator
Poague and E. c. Norvell very highly
for their splendid work in the last
legislature.
When the people of these mountain
counties come to understand how firm
ly Senator Poague stood by Gov.
Taylor and the large amount of money
he saved the small counties OF the
state by his fight against the proposed
change of the automobile tax law,
they will be strong for him and his
friends confidently expect him to come
under the wire winner.

SOLD FARM FOR GOOD PRICE
AND WILL MOVE HERE SOON

]. H. Schulegan, who bought the
John Jones farm, sold his farm near
Cleveland, for $o,sI4.25. The farm
consisted of 22 and three-tenths
acres and sold for $47.5o an acre.
When Mr.. Schulegan left here after
contracting for the Jones farm, he
stated that he expected to be back
here about October IS to close the deal
he having paid small amount to bind
the trade. Since his farm has been
sold it would seem that Mr.. Schule-
gan will be able to meet his plans and
may be expected here in about two
weeks or possibly sooner.
H. F. Edwards, who contracted for
what is known as the w. E. Read
farm from G. E. Harrison, has not been
heard from recently, but it is ex-
pected he will also arrive here shortly
to close the deal with Mr.. Harrison.

TWO IN JAIL CHARGED WITH
STEALING A FORD FLIVVER
Ross Parker and Alex Smith Are in
Jail for Lack of $1,000
Bond.

r Ross Parker, son of Joe Parker, and
Alex. Smith, son of Hardin Smith
were arrested here in town Monday
and placed in jail in default of bond
OF $1,000 each on the charge of having
stolen the Ford car belonging to Rose
& Haley. Both are young men and
old offenders against the law in more
ways than one. 1t is considered by
many that they are bootleggers.
From the best information available
It seems they stole the car from the
G. A. Haley barn some time near mid
night and drove the car to point
about ten miles southwest of town
and about two miles from the Leggett
farm and near the home of Monroe
Vickory, from whom, it is charged,
they have been buying illicit whiskey
and bootlegging it out. 1t is claimed
they intended to raid Vickory's smoke
house and steal all the whiskey he
had. The car ran out of gas and stop
ped on them before they reached the
Vickory home. 1t is thought they in
tended to steal the whiskey and get
back with the car before daylight and
leave it setting somewhere in town
where it would easily be found, bu,
as the gasoline gave out they failed
to make their plans work.
The arrest was made by Marshal V.
c. Lyles, Deputy Sheriff ]. M. Bran
don, of Ozone. William Ford, young
son of Bob Ford, took the officers to
the car as he claimed Parker and
Smith had told him what they intend
ed to do, but that he had not been
with them or taken any part in the
Henry Smith, another son
Of Hardin Smith, is thought to have
been implicated in the act, but he
has not been arrested, but probably |
will be soon.
The case seems to be a serious one
and may result in a term for each of
them in the penitentiary.

In the recent primary in Wisconsin
the democrats failed to cast sufficient
votes to entitle the party to place
on the ticket. The law requires $4,000
votes to get on the ticket and the
democrats cast less than 10000.
They will now get into the race thru
an Independent" ticket. There will
be woman in the race for United
States Senator against Senator La
Toilette. This will present chance
for dissatisfied republicans also
to vote against LaFollette. The num-
ber of that kind is said to be negli-
giblc.

AGED LADY ATTACKED
ARM BROKEN AND
OTHERWISE HURT
Jane Jackson Arrested and Bound to
Court in Default of Bond
of $1,000.

| Jane Jackson assaulted Mother
Oakes, aged over 60 years, at Dorton
last week and inflicted injuries upon
her that places her in a very critical
condition. 1t is claimed that one arm
!; is broken and her back was injured
by the assault.
The Jackson woman has never been
married, is the claim, yet she has with
her four children and it is claimed
she has two more. She was brought
before Esq. 0. B. Rector with war
rant charging: Assault with intent
to commit murder" She waived ex-
animation and was remanded to jail in
default of a bond of ST ,ooo AS she had
four children with her, the children
were sent to Jail also in order to be
with the mother. Yesterday she was
brought before Judge c. E. Snodgrass
who released her on condition that she
appear later and make. bond. 1t is
claimed she will be unable to make
bond.
From the information available the
cause of the assault seems to be about
as follows: 1t is claimed that the
Jackson woman wanted to move into
one of the section houses where
Grandma" Oakes was then living and
in the course of moving in and Mrs.
Oakes moving out, the Jackson woman
assaulted Mrs. Oakes, knocked her
down and broke her arm and inflicted
INJURIES to the back of the aged lady, !
who is said to be over 30 years of age.
She is the mother Of J. M. Oakes, de-
leased.
Ii is charged that the Jackson wo-
nan wanted to move into the section
house so she and the section boss
Boon Buckner, could live together.
As to the accuracy of this charge the
Chronicle is not informed. just what
will come of the case seems something
# puzzle because of the little chill
lren.

to use requires repairs and as soon as

they are able to make satisfactory
terms with parties they will have the

HULL AND CL0USE SPEAK
SMALL CROWDS TO HEAR
Judge Hull Caustic on Congressman
Clouse Who Returns the Com
pliment in Good Measure

Wednesday afternoon Hon. Cordell
Hull spoke in the court house to a
crowd of close to hundred peopie.
His arraignment of the republican
party was much milder than was ex-
pected. He became some what vitrolic
when he referred to his opponent,
Congressman Clouse. Most of the
statements made by Mr.. Hull were re-
garded by many present as being only
statement of one side of the ques-
tion and that had he given both sides
and told the whole story, he would
have had no case to stand upon. While
his arguments could easily be over
come it is not our purpose to enter
into any discussion of the situation
Many persons felt he did not strength
Ell his case by his talk.
Clouse Speaks.
Congressman w. F. Clouse spoke in
the court house Saturday afternoon
to a crowd of close to 200. He recount |
ed the numerous things the last con-
gress had done and told of the big
savings the present administration
had effected in the past I8 months.
When he came to discuss his oppon-
ent, Judge Hull, he arraigned Judge
Hull and his party severely, showed
where the democrats had
been very wasteful, had permitted ap-
oalling graft and had failed to do the
hings that would have made the re-
adjustment period much less burden
;ome.
Congressman Clouse addressed the
people of Crab Orchard in the even
ng and went from this county to
Dayton. He felt greatly pleased with
he outlook for his reelection.
