LOCKWOOD TELLS GLASS
 MEANING or ANeRlc ANIsN

MEANING oe AMeRicANisM
 DOUGLAS. March lo.-Ameriean- ism is not of the head of the body. but of heart. Judge A. c. Lockwood told the class on Americanixation at the night school in short talk last nhbt. Unless they seek citizenship because they have the desire in their hearts they will be merely citizens not Americans. he added.
 'Liberty and freedom are symbolic of the spirit of America" he con tinued. Every great war the United States entered with the exception of one was for freedom. The revolution sry war. for independence from Eng lands tyranny: the war of 1872 for freedom of the seas; I will pass light. " over the Mexican war because m that we have nothing to be proud; the civil war freed the slaves; the Span ish- American war was fought to free Cuba. showing that we have the spir-- it of freedom for others as we'll as for ourselves; the last great war we all know about-we were the only nation which entered that did not ask for something after the victory.
 If you men are coming before me next week to get your citizenship pa pers because you believe you think y0n can make more money. then you are not becoming real Americans. You must have the desire to be an Ameri- can because you believe in Americas principles
 America is not perfect; many men born and raised under the stars and stripes are Americans in name only. but if you will compare the history of this country with that of other nation. you cannot but agree that the spirit of the American people from the mo- ment the pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock until the present day has beeh more unselfish than in any other na- ton.
 The nation stands for liberty. have told you. How many Of. you know what liberty means? Some think that it means we can do as we please That is not liberty-that is license. If you do right because you are afraid of the law you are not Am ericans. You are slaves You must have that true American spirit which prompts you to do right because you believe in your heart you should do SO That is liberty.
 This nation has worked out the way to give liberty to all. It is call ed the rule of the majority. which is the best government in existence and the nearest thing to absolute liberty for every citizen of the country. While the majority sometimes may be wrong more often it is right and it is the most perfect system of government yet devised.
 Some people obey only the laws they believe in, regardless of the fact that the majority of people imposed all the laws. The greatest evasion to- day is of the prohibition law. Perhaps all of you do not believe in prohibi- tion. but the majority of people. thru their representatives, made this law and no true American citizen will break it. Whether you like it or not you should uphold it and see that your neighbor does likewise
 Following his short talk Judge Lockwood answered questions and re- viewed their lessons with them. Some of the members of the class will go to Tombstone next week to apply for their citizenship papers.

Potato CSr0WerS
VIII Cure Crop

At a meeting of the sweet potato
growers in the office of the county
agent on Saturday afternoon it was
decided to adopt the square crate
made at Ripley, Tenn, to cure and
ship the crop in. This crate can be
secured in any quantity at the factory
just south of Ripley at IL cents per
crate. A delivered price Of 1914
cents was made by this firm, but due
to the fact that the growers live a
considerable distance from Coyington
it was decided to haul the crates from
Ripley. This crate is more satisfac-
tory than the hamper from the stand
point Of hauling, storing and shipping
and the price the same.
The present price Of potatoes is
low and the majority Of growers in
tend curing the crop and holding for
higher prices after the bulk of the
crop has been shipped The price
last season was low at this time and
remained around Sl00 to S1.35 until
April and May shipments, when the
priced advanced to $3.50 to $500 on
the bio markets. With the proper
curing and handling it is an easy
matter to keep potatoes until the new
crop is on.
If you have the proper kind of
curing houses, the following methods
Of handling will be found satisfactory:
Handle all potatoes very carefully
in the field to prevent bruisiug and
place in crates in the field when dug.
II is also advisable to grade in the
field, sorting out all oversize pota-
toes and all strings, placing in the
crates only those intended for first
class shinment. To prevent the
spread of black rot it is best to clean
the curing house thoroughly and
burn all trash. disinfect house with
bluestone by the use of spray pump,
saturating the inside of the house.
Start the fires and dry the house for
several days before storing in same.
stack the crates in a way that viii
give the best circulation and keep
the temperature at about rs to so
degrees for 10 days or two weeks, OF
for a sufficient time to thoroughly
cure the crop. After curing, reduce
the temperature by the use Of your
ventilators and never let tde house
fall below 48 during the winter. If
these plans are fgllowed the results
should be entirely satisfactory.

CHANCERY COURT MAY
HEAR GRAVEL SUIT

In an account last week it was
enormously stated that the dredging
operations of the Central Sand &
Gravel Co. in the Mississippi river
is likely to cause the main channel
of the river to be diverted through
the chute Of Island 35, overlooking
hundreds of acres on that island. It
is, however, alleged in suit filed
by the Central Sand & Gravel Co.,
represented by w. L. Owen, that the
operations of the Southern Sand &
Gravel Co. will tend to have that eff
feet, and further that the latter
company is operating on property
owned by the Central Sand & Gravel
Company.
The State Of Tennessee has set up
title to the property in the vicinity
of Island IS that lies in the Mis-
sissippi river below low-water mark,
and seeks an accounting from the
Southern Sand & Gravel Co., for all
the gravel that it has removed be-
low low-water mark. which is al
legged to be worth many thousand
of dollars. The Central Sand &
travel 90. seeks TO recover from the
Southern Sand & Gravel Co. for any
gravel which the last named com
pany has removed from its property
above low-water mark. The Frisco
railroad is made a defendant, as it
has moved the gravel over its rail-
road yards, and through their books
an accounting can be made as TO
of cars Of gravel dredged
from property Of the state and Of
Central Sand & Gravel Co. The
litigation has been instituted in the
chancery court of this county, but
counsel for the Southern Sand &
Gravel Co. is seeking to remove the
hearing to the federal court. and
Judge Ross will at an early date de-
eide which is the proper court for
the hearing.

Peqg to Speak
in CoOington

Hon. Austin Peay, Democratic
nominee for governor, viii speak at
the courthouse in Covington Wednes-
day, October Is, at 1880 D. m.
This viii be the first opportunity
the citizens of Upton county have
had to hear Mr.. Peay on the issues
of the present campaign, as he did
not speak here during primary. He
will discuss the question of taxation,
in which our people are now so much
interested, and also the needs of the
state of better highway DEPART
ment reorganization of its gov
eminent.
A large reception committee, COM
posed Of both men and women, IS
being made up to welcome Mr.. Peay
and it is expected that he will be
greeted by large crowd. Accord
ing to present arrangements, he will
be introduced by Senator L. E.
Gwinn, one Of his competitors in the
primary.
Mr.. Peay is making a vigorous and
exhaustive campaign over the state,
and before election dav he expects
to visit almost every county seat in
the state in the interest Of his can
didacy. He is advocating general
house-cleaning Of useless offices in
Nashville and favors many feasible
reforms in the present tax system,
which is winning many voters to his
side.
The general Democratic CAMPAIGN
in this state was launched by Mr..
Peay about three weeks ago in Muir
freesboro. His speech on that oc-
casion attracted statewide attention
and was published in part by the
Leader at that time.
Mr.. Peay has MANY enthusiastic
followers in Upton county and will
receive the solid Democratic vote in
the November election. 1t is freely
predicted that he will carry the
county, by an overwhelming majority
over Gov. Taylor. who is scheduled to
speak here on Tuesday, October "a,

Just harvested, and it wasn't a good
day for digging potatoes, either.

October "a will be an eventful
day in Covington. The primary
election will be held on that day,
and Gov. Aft Taylor will visit Cow
ington on strictly political mis-
sion, being nothing else than part Of
his campaign for reelection as
candidate on the Republican ticket.
Gov. Taylor, according to present
plans, will deliver his campaign adj
dress in the courthouse at 1880 o'clock
on October "a After filling his en-
gagement here he will complete his
campaign in West Tennessee at
Memphis on the following day.
Turning again to the city election,
mayor of Coyington will be nomi-
mated, which is equivalent to elect
ion, without the opposition of COM
petitor for the first time in num-
Der of wears. Mai. NJ A. Walker was
the only candidates who qualified,
Tuesday being the last day to quail
fy as candidates for the various Of
fees in the city election. FIVE quail
fled as candidates for city marshal
w. G. Dumas, present incumbent;
P. A. Bringle, J. P. Boshers, R. P.
Strain and E. j. Coats. The race for
assistant marshal has narrowed down
to two candidates.. o. Hadley,
present incumbent, and w. G. Harris.
For recorder, Mrs. Nell Hill Ebersole
and ]. E. Palmer, present incumbent,
were the only candidates to qualify.
For aldermen the voters can choose
board of six members from list
of IA candidates. A few weeks ago
it could not be learned than anyone
would announce for seats on the
Board of Aldermen, and now there
are IA willing to take seat, while
only six can be elected. The following
are candidates for aldermen: T. G.
Howard, A. P. Smith, E. w. Bringle,
J. A. Shelton, DR.. T. IB. Gassaway,
DR., j. j. Boyd, ]. G. Conan, Nal
Smith, James G. Owen. G. B. Simon
ton, r. A. Baxter, w. G. Upton, w.
R. Gift and w. A. Barrett. a
Members viii also be chosen for
the City Board Of Education. There
are five members to be elected, with
seven candidates to select from: L.
E. Gwinn, E. H. IMcFadden, G. A.
Girdner, b. s. Jameson, Mrs. G. b.
Gillespie, Mrs. Will Lowenhaupt and
E. L. Worrel are in the race for
seats on the school board,
Voters are beginning to take more
interest in the approaching election.
1t is believed that a large vote will
be polled, perhaps larger than usual,
on account Of a greater number of
candidates seeking election than is
ordinarily the case in city primaries.
In the race for aldermen there
seems to be a keen rivalry, which
may result in a rip-roaring contest
on election day. Friends of the va
ridas candidates for aldermen are
already conspicuously busy in the
interest of their favorites.
The polls will open at s p. m. and
close at p. m. on election day. A
list Of election officers will be found
in another column of this paper.
