Washington
Election' Law Knocked Out
The Supreme Court of Tennessee
has declared the election law passed
by the last legislature to be unconsti
tutlonal. The court was divided three
to two. Judges Buchanan, Neil and
W'lH&ms formed the majority vote,
Judges Lansden and Green dissenting.
Judge Buchanan whott the majority o
' pinion and Judge Lansden the dissent
ing opinion. -
The majority opinion reads like a
labored effort to try to convinct the
reader that sound reasons exist for
the conclusion of the court. The dis
senting opinion goes straight to the
point and bears evidence of being the
free and honest opinion of its authors,
taking the position that the majority
opinion practically licences filibuster
ing. A casual glance at the makeup
of the court as divided upon this im
portant question indicating that opin
ions make strange bedfellows. Buch
anan was appointed to the bench by
Patterson, Neil was elected, and WrU
lams appointed by Hooper. These
three men killed the election law.
Lansden and Green were elected.
The action of the court Is as unsatis
factory as that of the legislature, and
will add fuel to the politicaal flames
for t years to come. Had the court
8' en fit to sustain tts law it would
have put an end to filibustering in the
legislature and fleeing the state to pre
vent the majority from ruling in that
body.

the principles of agriculture the simple and practical things which our

the very effective work done on the agricultural trains, by using that most
.modern vehicle the automobile going directly to the people on their own
farms where the meetings are to be held.

growing of that wonderful soil improver, ALFALFA, is meeting the approval
of all men who have any knowledge of the beneficial results of its introduction

states, and Professor Holden is daily answering requests for bla assistance in
organizing other, localities, and invites cordial co-operation with every com
munity Interested.

Washington's dentist was John
Greenwood of New York. Soon after
the inauguration in that city in 178S)
Greenwood furnished the president's
uiouth with a complete set of artificial
teeth. The upper half of this marvel
ous creation was entirely fashioned
from a piece of seahorse or hippopota
mus tusk, while the lower half was cut
from the same material, into which hu
man teeth were Inserted and fastened
with gold stays.
Some Idea of the cost of the Job may
be had when it is understood that an
early practitioner in Philadelphia. Dr
Lf Mayeur. advertised in 1784 that 2
guineas would be pnld for every tooth
that any person mlht be disposed to
sell him. This same dentist, by the
way. further advertised that he had
"transplanted 12.1 teeth in the previ
ous six months." and nil without pain
to his clients! Despite the doctor's al

to have worn her Le Mayeur smft" for

An exchange gives an account of a
man who got up early one morning
during the recent cold spell to guild a
fire and dropped dead with heart dis
ease before he accomplished the task.
This should be a warning to all wom
en who really love , their husbands
not to let them undertake any such
work again. Exchange.
Tells Others How to Get Strong
and Well.
Mrs. W. W. Lake cf Aberdeen,
Miss., says: "The grippe had left me
in a weak, run-down condition from
hich I suffered for some time. I
:ried different remedies but nothing
seemed to do me any good until I
took Vinol, from which. I received
?reat benefit. My cough Is almost
entirely gone and I am strong and
well again, and I ant glad to recom
mend Vinol to others who suffer as I
aid."
Mrs. Lake's recovery was due to
the combined action of the medicinal
elements extracted from cods' livers
combined with the blood making
and strength creating properties of
tonic iron, which are contained In
Vinol, and her cough disappeared as
a natural result.
We guarantee that Vinol will do all
we claim and will pay back yout
money if Vinol does not satisfy you
