SNAPPY BOUT STAGED
ON CONGRESS FLOOR
Rep. Oliver Almost *. 0.'S" Rep.
Dempsey in House.

Washington, Sept. 16.-The House
witnessed a real fistic encounter by
two of it's members to-day when Rep
resentative Oliver, Alabama, in the
course of an argument over the riv-
ers and harbors bill, unpackcd a hay
maker and landed it squarely upon
the jaw of Representative Dempsey,
New York
Mr. Dempsey is not related to the
heavyweight champion, but he show
ed great staying qualities, or rather
in strict parliamentary language, he
proved himself glutton for punish
ment. divers wallop appeared to
rock him and make him a bit groggy
for the moment, but he refused to
take the count. Before he could let
loose his own terrific left, which his
hackers say he possesses, peacemakers
rushed in and broke up the bout
MAY BE MATCHED.
Whether a return engagement will
be fought rests with Tex. Rickard,
it is understood. If Mr.. Rickard can
bring them to terms, they will be
matched for the light-heavyweight
championship of Congress some time
in the near future unless President
Harding refuses to sanction the go.
Sporting members of Congress are
looking forward 70 the event with
great anticipation and betting prob
ably will be brisk.
1t is not often that the House sees
a real scrap. Fighting language is
sometimes used and fisticuffs are
frequently threatened, but it il rare
thing for one member actually to
take a good punch at fellow mem
ber.

TENNESSEE JERSEYS IN
SPOTLIGHT OF DAIRY WORLD

That Tennessee Jerseys are just
as good as any COWS in America and
that they can be depended on to &C
right on hanging up new records for
production is evidenced by the fact
that four new State records have
been announced within the past few
weeks.
By producing 12,481 pounds of
milk and 1926 pounds of butter
fat, Moons Eminent Princess, Jer-
sey cow owned by Charles Pearson, of
Bedford County, becomes the new
Tennessee senior three-year-old
champion. She also qualified for
both Gold and Silver medals in view
of the fact that she produced over
700 pounds of butterfat and carried
her calf the required number of days.
For eleven consecutive months, Prin-
cess appeared in the SO pound class
and during the month of January she
produced 1926 pounds of milk and
77.18 pounds of butterfat. She
started her record test at years
and 10 months of age.
Sophie's Noble Chris, owned by
J. M. Haynes, of Rutherford County, |
is the new junior three-year-old |
champion, she having produced 9,497 |
pounds of milk and 600.4S pounds of |
butterfat on test. This COW had only
farm care, but even at that |
she was a fifty pounder for five
months during the test.
The new senior two-year-old cham
1ion Jersey is Castor's Spot Cash,
,wned by w. A. Griswold, of David
ION County. She produced $500
of milk and 1926 pounds of
starting at years and
months of age.
Duchess of Fairview I'd, owned by
4. B. Farris, Maury County, is the
unior two-year-old champion. She
tarted test at 2 years and l month
f age and in S59 days produced T.

HOME GROWN WHEAT
SEED BEST SAYS McAMIS
Yielding Power Does Not run Out"
As Is Often Supposed.

"The safest seed to SOW is tha
produced in the community regard
less of whether the crop was poor OF
good" says j. C. McAmis, crop spe
cialist, Extension Service, University
of Tennessee. Farmers in many
parts of the State are much dissatis.
| fed with yields of wheat from the
1922 crop" he states. They are dis.
appointed not only in the yields, but
in the quality of the grain. Every
year that this condition occurs farm
ers are inclined to attribute it to
poor seed. They, therefore, hesi-
tate to SOW the seed produced in a
bad year for the following crop. In
many cases All effort is made to find
wheat outside the county or State
and often a change of variety is
sought. On the whole this is no
doubt mistake.
There is always danger of i'm
porting seed from distance, partic-
ularly if it is of an untried variety.
In the majority of cases the farmer
should search out the cleanest seed
that he can find and if necessary re-
clean it and treat it for smut. In
case of damaged seed it should be
tested for termination and the rate
of seeding made accordingly.
Wheat does not cross-fertilize as
does corn or rye, and, therefore, the
type remains the same and the yield
ing power does not run out" as is
often supposed 1t is not intended
to hold that damaged seed is as good
for sowing as sound, plump seed, but
it is true that home grown seed of
poor quality may greatly out-yield
an imported seed of high quality.
Fulcaster is undoubtedly the most
consistent yielder in good seasons
and bad that is known in the State. |
Stoner is practically the same thing.
N occasional seasons other varieties
Fulcaster, but year in and
rear out this is not the case, prob
Ibly because Fulcaster is more re-
istant than ether varieties. 1t is al
Ways good thing for farmers to be

REVIVAL MEETING AT
THE BAPTIST CHURCH
Rev. DR.. Cox, Evangelist Minister IN
the Opening Sermon.

Revival services at the Baptls'
Church began last Sunday with pre-
liminary work by the pastor, con-
gregation and singers. On MONDAY
evening a very large audience as
sembled in the church to hear DR..
Ben Cox, of Memphis. This sermon
was very interesting, discourse OF
scriptural analogy, logical reasoning
striking and convincing application.
The text was "Paralyzed Men
ed"-Mark 2.
From this we quote a syllabus OF
the sermon as follows:
"Here I'VE have the Helpless, the
Haaler the Hindcrer and the Helper.
s'The sinner is helpless. He needs
to be gotten in touch with the great
healer. Jesus. The Saviour is the on
ly remedy for the sinner. The old
fashioned hymn directly says: None
hut Jesus can do the helpless sinner
any good. Jesus himself, altho the
son Of God, with power, can save no
one except a sinner. When the Sa-
yiour and the sinner meet, and not
until then, salvation will result.
"The chief business of the Chris
tian is to get the sinner in touch with
the Saviour-the Helpless in touch
with the great Healer. The men
damned and packed in the little door
way were hinderers. Sad to say,
there are many hinderers now. we
NAV be hinderers by staying away
from church. We may be hinderers
bv the way we conduct ourselves at
church. The pew is just as respon-
sible for the SUCCESS or failure of the
sermon as is the pulpit. You no.
where read where Jesus says: Take
heed how you preach. But you do
find him saying: Take Heed There
fore How Ye Hear We can hinder
or help by what we say what we do
and where we go. Emerson used to
say: What you are thunders so loud
l cannot hear what you say
"Thank God for these four helpers.
They were great men because they
were men of faith. The biggest
thing about anybody is his faith.
Abraham was not a great man be-
cause he had many cattle, much land
and was a great Arab Sheik. The
biggest thing ever said about Abra-
ham is said in three words: 'Abra-
ham believed Cod
"These four helpers had an ear
nest, practical, persistent and an
inventive faith They cared more
for the paralytic than for property.

ments- or recommendations of appli-
cants and have never considered a
selection on purely political ground
but solely on the character, integri-
ty patriotism, qualifications and
/ ability of the justice selected. 1t is
case of the office hunting the man
instead of the man hunting the office.
| 1t has also been the policy to keep
| the personnel of the court as near
on an equal basis in membership be-
tween the dominant political parties
as possible, and this is why it has
frequently occurred that in appoint
ing justices a Republican President
has, appointed Democrats and Dem
ocratic president appointed Republi-
can judges.
WASHINGTON STARTED 1T.
President George Washington in
appointing the first court pursued
this policy and selected Chief Justice
John Jay and his associates because
of their political qualifications and
he emphasized this not only in let
ters he wrote to the appointees with
their commission but in private let
ters at the time the appointments
were made.
Since the organization of the court
there have been chief justices and
associate justices appointed. Twenty
four of them were Republicans, "a
Democrats, Jefferson Republicans,
which were later known as Demo-
Gratis, Is Federalists and Wings. |
1t may thus be seen that taking the
politics of the various men appointed |
as among Republicans, Democrats,
Federalists and Wings, the dominant
parties of the respective periods in
the court have at all times been very |
much equally divided and at no time
has the court been composed of all |
members of the same political faith.

my Gallavan, Massachusetts, called
Jack Dempsey (not the Congressman
la big bum, and some members ex-
pected trouble, but Jack did not hear
Jimmy's challenge any more than
he heard the call to arms during the
late war. Hence, it goes without say
ing that there would have been big
demand for ringside seats to-day if
Messrs. Oliver and Dempsey had CIV
en- some warming of their hostile in
tentions.
OLIVER HAD THE REACH.
The principals were not quite
evenly matched. Oliver is taller and
has longer reach, but Dempsey is
well set up gentleman who looks as
if he could take care of himself. The
row began during a quorum call.
Mr. Dempsey, a Republican, chair
man of the the rivers and harbors
committee, went to the Democratic
side to confer with Mr.. Oliver over
the allotment of time for speaking
on the rivers and harbors bill. Oliver
wanted ten minutes to discuss an
amendment relating to the East Riv-
er in New York. Dempsey told him
he could have five minutes. Oliver
said it would not be enough and
Dempsey said it would have to be
enough.
Whereupon, Representative Oliver
put one on the button of Representa-
tive Dempscy's chin. 1t was later
said that Mr.. Oliver had used "the
palm of his hand" and had struck
Representative Dempsey twice. But
Mr.. Dempsey doubts if anyone can
hit so hard with the palm of the
hand.
Discussing the incident, Oliver
said:
Dempsey told me l had no interest
in the matter under discussion, and |

tibet. / did the only thing a gen.
tleman could do under the circum-
stances. -

 A total of 73 votes was cast, Dan Sutherland showing his strength by polling 67 of that number. NJ. F. Miller, democratic candidate for Ter ritorial Representative also showed remarkable strength, polling 64 votes. Dave Clough, dark horse nominee of his voting friends for road comms- sioner, also showed up strong locally, and no one can tell what the figures would be had he been regular eandi- date.
