SMALLPOX AT JASPER Precautions Being Taken to Prevent Spread of Disease. A smallpox case is reported from Jasper, and citizens' as usual are great ly excited. The case "is Miss Sallie Darr, daughter of Rev. J. A. Darr, and the young lady is supposed to have caught the disease while on a visit in Bridgeport. When she was taken sick, which was first reported Monday, all precautions for the spread of the dis ease were taken by isolation of those who had been in coutact with the case or who were in danger of infection. There is reported to have been a great number of cases of small pox iu Bridgeport this year. Some say there have been 85 afflicted with the scourge in that place this winter alone, while others claim the number is much greater. It is understood the Bridge port people pay little attentiou to the disease, and contemptuously call it cbickenpox, and some 6ven go about their business while affected.

Doesn't Agree With "Uncle Tom" Mr. Editor: I read the Sequachee News and en joy it very much, but I can't say I like to hear "Uncle Tom" censuring everybody. First be comes against the busiuess man who has money and to cap the climax, next he wages war on the poor old farmer who is at home minding his own business, making an honest living by the sweat of his brow for his family. I imagine I see "Uncle Tom" seated on the doorstep of a rented cabin with six or seven old hounds, that you could at a glance count every bone in their old carcas ses, yelping for some of the old farm er's crumbs. Surely "Uncle Tom" has never taken the second thought or he couldn't heap coals of fire on the old farmer's head, the man who feeds the universe, feeding you and your old hounds, too. Now, if you have no words of. encouragement for the old farmer and can't lend him a helping hand, please let him be quiet. I am only a small boy, but quite old enough to know right from wrong. Had you not spent so much of your valuable (?) time stuffing a girl's bosom with pure white snow, y.ou might have had a nice farm and plenty of money, too. We stand or fall on our own merits, "Uncle Tom." ERA CONDRA. Sequatchie, Tenn., March 7, 1910. Hymen at Dunlap. DUNLAP, Tenn., March 4.

A clersvman. noticing the simple appearance of the couple he had just married, decided to give them a rew words of advice. He explained to the young man his duties as a husband, and then told the young lady how sbe should conduct herself, winding up with the old injunction that she must look to her husband for everything, and, forsaking ber father and mother, follow him wherever be went. The bride appeared very much trou bled at this, and faltered out: "Must I flow him to every place he goes?" "Yes," said the clergyman; "you must follow him everywhere until death doth you part."

I notice from the press that there is a lot of politicians more interested in giving John Barleycorn the right of way again in Tennessee than tney are in devising ways and means to help the families who do not actually get enough to eat Now, I know of aocie just in this kind of condition. I think and believe that politicians who have nothing better to offer the country than a saloon are very poor specimen of humanity, let alone a law maker or executor of the law. I think a gover nor that will say that the laws can't be enforced against the liquor traffio is about as sorry a specimen of humanity as could be found among the very slums of a city. Tennessee is able to enforce any law on her statutes and the officers and judges and juries that won't enforce the law are certainly perjurers, and I would bate to knowingly vote for that kind of men. I do not intend to vote for any man that don't respect the law well enough to enforce it. In fact, I never was a teetotaler, but the liquor gang of law breakers jieed not claim my vote. I want to vote for men that have something more bene ficial to offer than liquor. I always said if I drank and got drunk I prefer- ed a sober man to attend to my busi ness. I don't vote for drunken scala wags or men who believe in snch con duct, and this year I aim to be very cautious, for I consider we are having enough trouble and misery in our state because of the evils we could gel along without. Whiskey is outlawed and I, ' for one, will never vote for any man that pro poses to remove the bonds, and Myers, from up the valley, will have to give a plain statement as to bow ha stands on the liquor question or he'll never represent this floterial district Democracy and a nomination is not equivalent to gain election in this dis trict now. Partisan politics is not as efficacious as formerly. Its the men and measure. : Men have lost confi dence in both the old parties of late years, and not without cause. Neith er has done the people, especially the poorer classes, any good. The time has come and is now at hand when a change is going to be made, and no man need be sure be is going to win. I am aware that the lords of creation imagine they have crushed the working-man, and that there is no further danger of his resenting the invasion of their rights and privacies. No sensi ble laboring man ever expected a labor nnion to give them permanent relief. They know a labor union is only a temporary concern and used as such. Watch, the elections this year and note the impetus and changes in politics. It will astonish the country. Already the leaders in both the old parties are mnch below par with the average man. Nobody, or at least the independent voter, does not care who is the nomi nee as formerly. UNCLE TOM. Tracy City, Tenn. Good Co Qh Medicine for Children ' The season for coughs and colds is now at hand and too much care can not be used to protect thechildren. A child is much more likely to contract diptheria or scarlet fever when he has a cold. The quicker you cure bis cold the less the risk. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the sole reliance of many mothers, and few of .those who have tried it are willing to use any other. Mrs. F. F. Starcber, of Ripley, W. Va.. says: "I have never used any thing other than Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy for my children, and it always has given good satisfaction." This remedy contains no opium or any other narcot ic and may be given as confidently to a child as to an adult. For sale by Whitwell Drug Co. Whitwell, Tenn. T. L. Hassler.
