Byrns' Successor in House
Compoigned With Weeks Pay
Priest Would Rather
Make Speech Than
Dollar, Friends Soy
BY the Associated Press.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 9.-J.
Percy Priest, Nashville newspaper
man. who ran as an independent
candidate and defeated the regu-
lar Democratic nominee for Con-
gress, made the campaign on one
weeks pay check and small contri-
buttons from friends.
His friends describe him "as a
Iaan who would rather make a
speech than q dollar"
He was elected last Tuesday to
succeed Joseph w. Byrns, jr., as Rep
resentative in Congress of the
Hermitage district, once served by
Andrew Jackson.
His friends speak, too, Of the
mule sense" possessed by this
slight 40-year-old bachelor with
thinning sandy hair, born in Maury
County, Tenn, where they boast of
raising more mules than children.
Mr.. Priest gave up the managing
editorship of the Nashville Ten
nessean, published by Silliman
Evans, to rove through Middle Ten
nessee as the papers correspondent,
writing about everything from the
new statue of a Confederate hero
to the fellow who makes barrels
without hump In them.
Formerly Taught School.
Before entering newspaper work
he was a school teacher and later he
taught Sunday school class and
was choir leader in a Baptist
church.
He entered the congressional race
in opposition to the nominee his
own paper had supported in the pri-
mary in protest against Mr.. Byrns'
vote for the proposed amendment to
delay CONSUMPTION go days. Fellow
newspaper workers pledged from Is
cents to 81 weekly from their
salaries to continue his salary after
he resigned to make the campaign.
The Clarksville Leaf Chronicle,
afternoon daily, first suggested that
Mr.. Priest enter the race as a pro-
test" candidate.
1t was a hard fight that Mr..
Priest, running as an independent
Democrat, made against Mr.. Byrns,
who carried the support of the
Democratic party and whose late
father was Speaker of the House.

TAYLOR LOSES
COURT ACTION
Plymouth Man Sought
Marriage AnnuIment;
Judge UphOIds Wife

Judge Frank P. McEvoy in the
Superior Court yesterday afternoon
denied petition Of Vance A. Tay-
lor of Plymouth to have his mar
rage to Emma 8. Taylor annulled.
The plaintiff sought the annulment
on alleged grounds that his wife
suffered from lung ailment prior
to their marriage and fraudulently
kept the knowledge of her condi-
ton from him.
Judge McEvoy found that the
husband knew Of the condition AMI
information concerning it was not
fraudulently kept from him.
In one part Of the decision Judge
McEvoy says:
upon all the evidence it would
appear that to this petitioner mar
rage is not a statue which in
wolves any obligation or duty, but
that it is merely an incident TO
be acquiesced in or continued as
long as it affords pleasure, but
| to be cast off repudiated alo
annulled when it tends TO become
burdensome.
The court also states in the de-
cision that prior to the marriage
on August Is, 1885, Mrs. Taylor
told her husband that she had
an arrested lung ailment and had
supplied the petitioner with the
name Of her doctor with whom
Taylor talked.
The decision adds:
"In contrast with the speech and
the conduct Of the petitioner, this
defendant contrived no conceal
ment and made no representations
to the plaintiff as alleged"
The issues were then found fol
the wife and the husbands petition
ordered dismissed.

New LeprOSy Treatment Found
BY American Doctor In Siam

In Chiengmai, It Is claimed, lep-
rosy was first produced IN animals
when monkeys and pigs, fed ON taro
and inoculated with leprous mate
rial, took the disease, Results were
also obtained by inserting nasal
secretions from one infected animal
into the nose of another, and by
transplanting material from a lep-
rous nodule.
Short wave radiation (diathermy)
was applied to the backs Of a number
Of patients In the asylum as a second
experiment by DR.. Collier. He found
this treatment brought many bene-
fetal results.
DRHTHERTA ANTITOXIN
RELIEVES MANY PATIENTS
Diphtheria antitoxin was then
used as treatment for lepers by
DR.. Collier starting a year ago. He
operated In the belief that there
might be something more than an
analogy between the established at
tempt Of the body to form anti
bodies against diphtheria toxin, a
disease which attacks the adrenal
glands, and the absence of such ac-
ton in leprosy.
Startling results brought about the
use Of diphtheria toxoid and anti
toxin together, until now DR.. Collier
has more than $50 cases under treat
ment and observation. Beneficial
effects have been found in all stages
Of the disease as skin LESSONS, lepro-
matous patches, plaques and thick
enings are reduced, painful nerves
are relieved, nerve function Is Inn
| proved, and in some cases there. is q
return Of sensation in former areas
Of anesthesia.
1--WE feel" says DR.. Collier, that
in the use Of toXoid and antitoxin
we have a treatment which far ex-
ceeds any method yet known. Re-
suits are obtained in q few weeks
which formerly were seen only after
months of treatment Of chalmougrs
OIL"
DR.. Collier refuses to state thai
he has discovered a permanent cure
another year Of experimentation
Is necessary-but he has undoubted.
ly hit upon a superior method Of
treatment, one that should bring
some measure Of relief and happi.
ness to thousands Of unfortunate
lepers.
