NEW RAILROAD To
Be BUILT To MINE
AND LUMBER CAMP
Line to Be Nine Miles Long and Reach
Findlay Coal Mines and the
Paxton Lumber Camps.

| Work has commenced on the branch
line of railroad that has frequently
been mentioned in these columns a:
as tapping the Tennessee Contra
about two miles west of Crab Orchrad
and extending to the Findlay Goa
Company mines and to the lumber
camps of the Pierpont-P Paxton Com
pany, a distance of about nine miles
in a southerly direction.
Work is now being done on clearing
the right-of-way at the Findlay Coal
Company mines, about four or five
miles south of the T. c. The plan Is
to extend it some four miles further
to the lumber camps of the Pierpont-
Paxton Company.
The coal of the Findlay company is
now faced up some IL feet and the
bottom of the vein has not been yet
reached Experts claim that when
the slop is extended far enought to
reach level of the vein it will likely
show some four to six feet of regular
coal
Pending the extension of the road
to the mines the Findlay company will
probably be forced to stock a con-
siderable quantity of coal near the
mines in order to push development
to point where shipment can be
quickly raised to the point of prfit-
able shipment. The company is stock
ing few cars of coal at Crab Orchard
now because of car shortage

lions of feet of fine oak, poplar and
other lumber that they are now cut

PEACEFUL SETTLEMENTS

olxtee.., railroad companies, repre-
ser'.ung mileage of about 56,ooo have
made agreements with new organiza-
tions of their shopmen by which the
latter waive the right to strike, and
the railroads promise not to institute
court action.
Both sides will abide by the de-
cisions of the Railroad Labor Board in
matters covering wages and condi-
tions of employment. This is long
step in the direction of industrial
peace.
The board has shown itself to be
absolutely impartial in its decisions.
and neither party before it will suf-
fer injustice. Let US hope that other
industries will see the wisdom of the
peaceful settlement of disputes, and
that through boards of adjustment
patterned after the rail board, or
through industrial courts like that in
the public, the employers and
the workers may be relieved from the
senseless toll that strikes always ex-
act.

STRICKEN WITH INDIGESTION
Fell in Court House Friday Afternoon;
In Critical Condition for

Friday afternoon Attorney ]. W.
Dorton was suddenly stricken with a
severe attack of indigestion and for a
time his life was almost dispaired for.
In a short time he threw UP and soon
was much relieved.
DR.. V. l., Lewis was summoned and
rendered first aid Mr.. Dorton was
taken to his home and was ordered to
remain very quiet and his diet was
carefully looked after He has stead
lily improved and it is expected he
will be able to attend to business in
a few days. AT this time, however,
is still feeling the effects of the attack
but is gradually growing stronger day
by day.
Mr.. Dorton is held in high esteem
by many persons over the county as
well as in Crossville and many in
quiries were made as to his condition
and when it became known that he
was out of danger the information
proved very gratifying to his wide

EMPIRE CHANGED TO
REPUBLIC BY YOUNG TURKS

Kennel, he leader of the Young
Turks, has brought about the change
that marks the passing of the Turkish
empire and the country is now under
a republican form of government.
The Shay of Turkey, who has his
headquarters at Constantinople will
give no heed to the proposed change,
it is claimed. Kennel is such a power
however, that the change is sure to
be maintained and the Turkish ruler
of the empire will unquestionably be
forced to recognize the republic and
cease to exercise further power. 1t
is recognized there is serious split
in his cabinet over the change.
The Turkish capitol has been To-
Gated at Angora ever since CONSTANT
nople fell under the control of the
allies. 1t is an old city of thousand
or more years; one of the oldest town
in the Near East.

Saturday afternoon to an audience
that filled the room to its seating ca
pacity. ,
He is gifted orator and regaled
his audience with a fund of humor
and numerous flights of oratory which
ELECTED rounds of applause. While
his talk was full of amusement he
delivered what was pronounced by
many as being a speech made up al
most entirely of froth. He seemed to
make no effort to deal in concrete
facts but rather in broad generalities.
He almost exhausted the dictionary
for adjectives when speaking of Wood
row Wilson and the several candidates
now making the race for state offices.
His praise of Hon. Cordell Hull, now
candidate to regain his former seat
in congress from this district, was as
fiattering as the most ardent supporter
OF Mr.. Hull could desire.
He went from here to Monterey for
his next speech.

MAKING LAW VIOLATORS
PAY THE COURT COSTS
Judge S. c. Brown is "Educa tins /"
Them and the People Are
Much Grati6ed.

J From time to time we see account:
of the manner in which Judge S. c
Brown handles the convicted boot
leggers that come before him in his
work on the circuit bench in the fourth
judicial circuit. The way he is hand
ling the law violators is meeting with
the most hearty approval of the law
abiding people of his circuit.
Last week he was forced to take
rest as he had been constantly on
the bench since the first Monday in
September. He opened court at King
ston, Roane county, Monday and ex-
poets to be steadily at work until
Christmas.
His last term of court at Maryville,
Blount county, will long be remember
ed as Law Enforcing Term" for
the fines totaling $4,000 and the trim
mings." He assessed no fine for less
than $50 and costs for any offence
and from that to $500, including nu-
merous workhouse sentences, from SO
days to six months.
Judge Brown has decided some time
ago that if persons will persis in vio-
lating the law they should be required
to pay the cost instead of the borden
being worn by the law-abiding people.
He even goes farther and makes it
plain by the manner in which he as
sesses the fines that, he not only in
tends that the -violators shall pay

source of revenue to the county above
actual expenses.
How badly such course is needed
to be followed in many other counties
of the state the general public is abun
IDENTIFY aware. In some counties it has
become joke with the law-violators
They say, "$I2.5o for being drunk, dis

Judge Brown time or two. We
wonder how long the law abiding peo-
pie in other counties will continue to
bear the burdens.
In the Federal court Judge Ross is
following pretty closely the methods
employed by Judge Brown and the
'leggers" have a wholesome dread Of
lin. In the case of Judge Sanford of
he Federal court the conditions seem
% be very much the reverse He
eems to take every opportunity pos
ible to favor the leggers' and when
hey can possibly so arrange it they
ret their cases before Judge Sanford
instead of Judge Ross.

NEW VARIETY OF CORN:
PIEDMONT WHITE DENT

the Department of Agriculture is a
one ear Corn-that is, it does not gen.
orally make two ears-but will make
two ears when on good Lend or has
plenty of room.
1t is white corn, with white cob,
making large ears, stalk OF medium
height.
1t yields as well as the best corns
and frequently outyieds them. In fact
it averages better yields thanany other
corn that we have compared with it,
1t natures in this county. The ears
are firm and do not rot as much as
many corns. 1t is better in this re-
spect than Hickory King, Neels Pay
master and Reids Yellow Dent.
Piedmont White Dent is a new corn
but has been thoroughly tried in Cum
berland county for about five years.

(The Chronicle has a few ears of
this corn that may be seen by any
person who is interested in taking a
look at it, Mr.. Converse tells us he

arm adjoining the James Smith farm.
