4 AAiES KNOX POLK was the first
~ dark horse to win the presidential
race, and his figure remains among
the pale shadows in the procession of
presidents across the pages of history.
When he was yet a boy the family
Of James X. Polk moved from North
Carolina to Tennessee, where he was
too frail for frontier farming and was
put TO work behind the counter Of a
crossroads store. After a time in that
excellent preparatory school of life he
returned TO his native state TO enter
college, and he graduated from the
University Of North Carolina.
Becoming a country lawyer, he wes
sent TO the Tennessee legislature; mar
ried Sarah ChildreSs. daughter of
well-to-do man Of business and went
10 congress for Il years, in the course
Of which he became first the Jackson
leader Of the house and finally speaker.
Next he took his seat as governor of
Tennessee for n term. After having
been twice defeated in his effort to
obtain a second election to the COVER
norship, those defeats were immedi-

ately crowned with the Democratic
nomination for president.
1t was in the first year of the tele
graph, and when the name of Clay
was licked off as the nominee of the
Wing convention at Baltimore those
wiseacres of Washington who still re-
garded Morse as an impostor said that
the trick was easy. since anyone could
have guessed who the Wing nominee
would be. Three weeks afterward
when the inventor at the capital
spelled out the name Of Polk as the
Democratic nominee the doubling
Thomascs were convinced that he was
q fraud. They scoffed OF such an alb
surdity and were not persuaded of the
truth until the arrival of q train from
Baltimore.
The obscurity of "Jim" Polk, which
that SNUG, unsmillng, uninspired little
man Of respectable abilities had pre-
served on the eminence of the speak
er's chair, was dcepencd by the shin
ing fame Of Van Buren,. whom he had
displaced at the convention. and of
Clay. against whom he was matched
before the people. Those two states
men had taken 10 for granted that
they were to he the champions OF their
respective parties. History suspects

declared their independence and
formed the State of Franklin
or FARMLAND. 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 1890 North
Carolina finally coded this ter
ritory TO the United States. BY
1876 the population had In
creased TO over 10000, 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 Khan, the influence of
which quickly spread through
out the Southern states. This
secret organization took into
it's own hands the suppress

that the operator is asleep at the switchboard or otherwise neglectful Of her duty.
 There is an appreciable saving Of time for operators under the audible ringing system, too, which should be reflected in better telephone service.
 Much time has been given in the past to the supervision of calls to which there were not prompt answers. II took time to supervise Don't Answer" calls and report on them to the calling subscriber. But audible ringing practically eliminates the ne- cessity for supervising calls Now the operator receives the call and rings the number desired The calling party knows she is ringing because the ring ing signal is heard.
 The calling signal is continued at regular intervals for approximately two minutes. unless. of course. the called party answers before the lapse of that time. If. however there is no answer at the end of two minutes, the operator gives Don't Answer" re- port and everybody is satisfied that she has done her best.
 When parties therefore hear the strange buzzing sound coming from the telephone receiver after having placed call they should not think 1t is wire trouble. It is the calling sig nal being flashed back, informing that the operator is trying to raise your party"
