STATE Committeeman

Saturday was the last day tor can
didates for State Committeeman to
qualify. The republicans of this dist
rict have four candidates in the field
and the democrats only two.
Following are the list of republican
applicants.
|. J. Human, Wartburg,
Norman Massey, Cookeville,
Sam Pickering, Carthage,
J. O. Mcdonald, Byrdstown..
The democrats have the following
candidates:
J. N. COX, Cookeville,
J. Thos. Baskerville, Gallatin.
In the case of the democrats there
will likely be no names for commit
teemen placed on the ballot as only
two men have qualified and they Will
be formally declared elected. ..
In the case of the republicans all
four of the names will have to go on
the primary ballot and be voted tor
and the two receiving the greatest
number of votes will be elected. Each
congressional district is entitled to
two electors. That means the res
pective State Committees will be com
posed of twenty committeeman.

Secretary. ID. F. Soutahrd and son,
J. b. Southard, were in Florida last
winter assisting with the manage

few weeks ago to pass the summer
here looking after business of the
Southard Lumber Company. Their
plans are now to return to Florida
late this fall and practically close
their business here for the winter, as
they did last year.
The company is capitalized at $75,-
900 and the business thus far has sur

tons and they are very much graft

year, as the business revival which is

stimulator for them.
Since the Southard Lumber COM
pany has numerous mills in this state
and Alabama, their retail business in
Florida is assisted and strengthened
with the assurance of a never-failing
supply of certain grades of lumber
and at the same time the Florida busi
ness furnishes an outlet for a consid-
cradle portion of the output of the
Southard Lumber Company, which
makes happy combination for both
companies.
However, the Belvedere Lumber
Company does not conhne itself en-

FORTUNE IN PEACHES.

The daily press reports that the
Peach Growers Association of Roane
county has contracted its peaches this
year at $500 crate. Not all peach
growers of that section belong to the
association. Last year it is claimed
the peach crop brought more than
100000 to Roane county.
If some enterprizing genius would
put out a peach orchard on Grab Or
chard mountain or on the face of
Waldens Ridgefronting north there is
every probability that he would soon
develop wonderful business.

POTATO BUG RADIANCE.

In Tennessee Agriculture, the lit
tie monthly bulletin issued by the
State Agricultural department, we find
the following remedy for potato bugs:
Potato raisers who are troubled
with potato bugs, will find that they
can get rid of them promptly by
gathering cedar and stripping it from
the limbs, boiling the foliage in water,
and with the liquid thus secured,
spray their potatoes, they will hnd
that the potato bug will make its de-
parture very promptly. Also the strip
ed bug that is troublesome with can't
aloupes and melons. Where cedar is
available the potato bug can be put
out of business. The preparation is
not poisonous.

We feel that the interests of all the

Commissioner Haynes, after he had

Not all of it so deadly: some of it
might be consumed in moderation for

other drink later; most of them de-
clined. The dinner was not very

company dispersed early. Very soon
after, both the host and his wife were
taken violently i'll and a doctor was
summoned. He demanded to see the
liquor they had served at dinner, and
after caring for them carried away a
bottle of it. Next morning the host
learned that everybody who had taken
drink had been i'll during the night

physician had the liquor analyzed and
reported to the host that it was a dead

DEADLY EFFECTS OF THE
BOOTLEGGER'S BOOZE
One Is Stricken Blind, Another Dies
from Effects of Single Drink
on Pullman.

A prominent writer in the Review o.
Reviews gives some very lurid pic
lures of the results of drinking the
whiskey that is commonly sold by
bootleggerS in cities. Following is one
instance he recites:
Terrors of Synthetic w hiskey.
"One of the most difficult problems
that the enforcement officials doubt
ment of alcohol in the arts and in
dustries. AS soon as the bootlegger
discovered that they were not going
to be allowed to withdraw enough
liquor to take cae of their trade, there
began to be an enormous demand for
grain alcohol. This, with fusel oil
and coloring matter was made into
imitation whiskey. Immense quanti-
ties were put out under esta ablished
brands, these labels as we'll as the rev.
enue stamps being forged.
This synthetic whiskey was villain
Gus stuff, much of it in large part

were experienced as the sequels to its

for bed in the dressing room of a

asked if he would like a drink beofrs

whose origin was absolutely reliable.
They took the drink, and both retired.
Some hours later the man who had &C

peculiarly wretched. He tried to

vas unable to do so, and called the

Only very old timers in musical
