League of West Tennessee Clubi in Session in Union City. The League of West Tennessee Busi ness Men's Clubs held its semi-annual session in Union City Tuesday with the largest attendance and best interest since the organization of the league. '- The delegates reached Jiere in the forenoon and the opening session be gan at 1:30 p. m. with an address of welcome by Mayor T. R. Reynolds. Major John Tutuer, of Memphis, re sponded. Then the president, Mr. Jar rell, addressed the league, followed by Mr. Norvell, of Newbern; Mr. center, of Humboldt; Mr. Shatz, of Kenton; Mr. W. L. Wade, of Trenton; Mr. Geo. Dahnke, Mr. W. G. Reynolds and oth ers in some interesting short talks, all along the lines of work mapped out and approved by the league. Mr. Robt. 8. Fletcher, secretary-treasurer, made his report and then the order of busi ness was taken up, including reports The visiting delegates were then carried out over the city and county for a tour of inspection of the county roads. This occupied the remainder of the after noon to the surprise and pleasure of the entire party. - The evenirjg session opened with the announcement of committees, the mem bership to be named by a special com mittee. These will be known as com mittees on good roads, drainage, live stock, poultry, schools, education, agri culture, publicity, membership and a special committee on reduction of cot ton acreage. Judge Senter then addressed the league, whose numbers were increased by the attendance of visitors, on good roads, along the lines suggested that the practical roads of the present day were the King-drag dirt roads, reduced to a proper grade and level and prop erly drained. These roads, thirty miles or more, are being perfected in Gibson County, the speaker said, and in other counties of theState and when properly dragged and seasoned will be the best roads for all purposes. " Judge Senter was followed by W. G. Reynolds, of this city, whose experience in road making had been exhibited to the del egates in the afternoon. ' Mr. Reynolds gave an idea ol the wort tie nas oeen doiog in this county, with the approx imate cost, etc., all of which was very valuable. Judge John S. Cooper, of Trenton, spoke on Drainage." Judge Cooper the author of the present drainage laws in Tennessee and has given the ubject much thought and investiga tion. He stated that the drainage of lowlands in West Tennessee, not uding the Mississippi River bottom, would reclaim one million acres to cul tivation. The purpose of drainage is increase our health and acreage of iltivation, giving homes to more peo e and making for the advance of civ ilization. Judge Cooper was suffering ith a cold and spoke to a disadvantage, be soon impressed the auditors with is knowledge of the subject. Mr. Geo.

"local Commercial Club Work" was discussed by Mr. Norvell, of Newbern, who made some telling points about what local clubs should avoid. But one of the best points he made was to the effect that the men in town should get in touch with the farmer and assist him in the problems of farm life, not to sug gest but to help. More of this, the j speaker said, would tend to reduce the Montgomery-Ward and Sears & Roe buck traffic When the business men of the towns and the neighbors on the farm begin to co-operate then the prob lems of both the farmer and the busi ness man will be solved. Following this talk the president called on appli cants for membership. Response was received from Trenton that a club was being orgapized, the delegate having left in the afternoon and started the work at once. Mr. Ewell and Mayor Russell, of Dyer, stated that they were goiDg to organize and join the league So did Mr. Sam Shatz. of Kenton, make the same report. Judge A. C. Floyd, of Memphis, ad dressed the league on "The Present Cot ton Situation," saying that even If the present war continued a year there would be better financial conditions. The mills are waiting for the low price, and when they begin to buy the price would be strengthened and the markets would be easier. But even as it is there are some compensations to come out of the situ ation. The cotton people would learn a lesson that could not have been' fed- quired for many years except for just such conditions as now exist. They would be' compelled to reduce the cot ton acreage and when they did that diversification would take place and the South, would be much better off than it bad ever been or would nave ever been without the war. There are some other compensations, too, coming out of the war in the way of emigration From the warring countries we will get emigration in the South. Good people from Belgium, Germany, and other countries will populate and stimulate industry in the South and the thing is to be ready to take advantage of these changes. Mr. Jas. Mills, of Obion, read an in teresting paper on 'Livestock." This concluded the evening program and the present session. An adjournment was taken to Dahnke's Cafe, where a lunch eon by tbe local club was tendered. This beld the league until midnight in interchange of pleasantries and anec dotes. The next meeting of the league is to be held at Humboldt, by tbe invitation of Judge Senter, on the second Tuesday in May, 1915. Memphis and Jackson also extended invitations to the league, . but Humboldt was selected. j The following members from other t towns were present: C. T. Jarrell, J. D Senter, Irby Mc-Farland,- A. B. Foust, Bruce York, Humboldt; Robt. Fletcher, Wm. Hol land, T. C. Long, H. C. Ross, C. A. Derryberry, Jackson; John Tuther, A. C. Floyd, J. W. Gates, T. R. Winfield, W. C. Suthinger, Memphis; L. C.

This paper took tbe grounds some time ago that Governor Hooper was more interested in the Republican or ganization in Tennessee than he was in law enforcement, and the proof is com ing now in the statement just made by VV. R. Hamilton, who has just resigned bis position as President of the Tennes see Anti-Saloon League, for the reason that tbe league has indorsed the caudi I dacy of Governor Hooper and thus as sumed the position of apolitical parti san organization. The Commercial called attention some time ago to the fact that Governor Hooper was trying to make an example of Judge Neal as the subject of criticism for alleged rail roadtng of criminals. I lie poiut was that Judge Neal, who has been the only member of the executive and judicial branches of Tennessee really trying to enforce the temperance laws, has been singled out for criticism by Governor Hooper. We were sure tbeu that Gov ernor Hooper was not siucere, but when the President of the Anti-Saloon League makes a statement over his gwn signa ture that the Governor has been playing false there is no more room for doubt. Governor Hooper is nothing more nor less than the accredited leader of the Republican party in Tennessee, whom the Republican national organization is using, on account of the peculiar conditions, to make this a Republican State. The State Republican organization is now engaged in the work of trying to hide from publicity the fact that cor porations are pouring into Tennessee a campaign fund for tbe election of Gov ernor Hooper. I A vote for Governor Hooper or any of his supporters is simply a vote for the Republican ticket. The World's Greatest Improvement In Underwear It is practically a double garment consisting of two light-weight fabrics an inner lining of soft cotton an outer covering of warm wool strongly held together by stitches wide enough apart to leave an air space between the two fabrics. The wool absorbs the moisture of the body, keeps the cold out and the natural heat in but it does not touch the skin. The air space ventilates the garment and keeps it fresh and dry. Duofold has all the warmth of an all-wool garment without any of its irritating " scratchiness" all the softness of a cotton garment without any of its sticky "chilliness."

Reynolds, have Borne very excellent bookings this season, lne opening attraction was the popular musical offering, "Alma, Where Do You Live," given a few weeks ago, and a company of good singers and play ers in this appeared. We overlooked it at the time, but tbe voices were excel lent and the comedy work very good indeed. It was a capable company and a fair-sized audience had the opportuni ty of hearing a good reproduction of one of the big metropolitan theatre successes. Manager Cox has among the attractions to come Al. G. Field, who is to appear here Dec. 11, and a fine cast in "Peg o' My Heart," one of the great New York hits. Everybody knows Field's Min strel, but they will also be glad to know that they are to have something special in this charming musical comedy. There are, others, but they will be announced at the proper time. In the meantime the photo picture plays continue to give the patrons of the house the greatest pleasure as well as to stimulate the taste for educational subjects. The scriptural presentation of Bunya'n's "Pilgrim's Progress," which j was given Monday night, brought a large audience. It is one of the old- time works, but one of the greatest ever penned. Tbe conception of John Bunyan, who had been imprisoned by the authorities for religious heresy, came to him in a dream while in a cell, and be gave it to 'the world with his pen. The book has outlived many of its con temporaneous works, and will probably be better known as time passes.. The pictures were, of course, not in full, but the reel is one of the greatest re productions in tbe silent drama.

Mrs. Tom Turner, a young wife, is lying at her home near Dukedom slowly dying from a wide gash in her throat which almost completely" severed tbe jugular vein and which was inflicted by her own hand Saturday night. The family are well known and well respected citizens of the Dukedom com munity. , . Mr. and Mrs. Turner have been mar ried about two years. Recently the father, mother and two sisters of Mr. Turner came to live with the family. The change and added responsibility in tbe household, it is thought, caused Mrs. Turner to become somewhat dis turbed and despondent. Last Saturday Mr. Turner came to Fulton with a friend. It is said bis wife asked him not to come, aud made some remark of a despondent nature about not finding bar alive. Nothing special was thought of it by her husband be yond the fact that his wife was not feel ing very well. lie telephoned her late Saturday evening and told her that he was going to the carnival and would be home about 11 o'clock. It was shortly afterward, it is said, that she committed tbe unfortunate and rash deed with a knife or razor. The jugular vein was nearly cut in two. Mrs. Turner was still alive and con scious Tuesday morning, but it was said that there was no hope for her. In re ply to the query as to why she cut her throat, she stated, it is said, because of trouble.- Fulton Leader. Non-Resident Notice. Robert Bell vs. The unknown heirs of Joh n Ask ma, deceased.
