Mr. Crabtree Speaks.
The candidate for Governor, Mr.
Crabtree, arrived in Union City about
five hours late, but he spoke to a
small number of people at the court
house Wednesday night.
Evidently Mr. Crabtree i3 an hon
ored citizen of his own part of the
State, and In his speeches .he seesis
to be moved to a very fair consider
ation for the personal feelings of his
opponent. . He undertakes to assail
Governor Roberts tax bill and his
political organization, but there is
nothing more striking about the ad
dress than the pathetic figure of a
man whose argument is so vapid,
whose attack so weak, whose whole
aspect and appearance so distress-
ingly disappointing that even his
own admirers and friends pay him
poor reverence. They do not even
respond with the courtesy of ap
plause. 1 It would indeed be a discomfort
ing thought to trace the line of il
lustrious Governors of the proud old
Voliinter State from John Sevier, An
drew Johnson, Isham G. Harris, Jas.
D. Porter, Albert S. Marks, Benton
McMillen, and even our own Bob
Taylor down to the shoulders of a
man who cannot successfully defend
the - position he has assumed and
fails utterly to move his friends with
encouragement.
Mr. Crabtree made a few efforts
to criticise the tax bill and the ad
ministration. He called the tax bill
vicious, saying that it i3 autocratic
that it placed the burden3 upon
the producer of the necessities of life.
He referred to the Crockett County
railroad assessment, saying that the
former tax was $7500, and under
the new assessment it is $2500. He
did not say whether this was the
personalty and trackage, or only
one or the other. The Obion County
assessment does not show a condi
tion of this kind. The railroad tax
here has been largely increased un
der the new law.
Mr. Crabtree charged the adminis
tration with a political machine and
extravagance. Governor Roberts
made his first race for a reform of
this practice, and he proceeded to
weed out a few of the useless offi
cers. No man can do it all at once.
The speaker referred to the Carroll
County road contracts. The con
tractors were, he says, required to
pay a forfeit of only $500 on a con
tract of $150,000 and this was de
faulted and a' new contract made for
$174,000, which costs the State
State $14,000. He called attention
to the fact that Mr. House had built
no good roads in Obion County at
all.
The fact is that good roa.ds are es
timated at nearly $40,000 a mile
and no State or Government is able
to build them at any price until la
bor is obtainable.
Mr. Crabtree would indeed be a
sorry figure to meet .the renowned
Jesse Littleton in the arena of polit
ical combat. The fortunes of the
Democratic party in Tennessee are
worth more than the ambitions of a
man without pretensions or leader
ship and the bickerings of numbers
of disappointed office holders.
Hot Stuff.
We run a block to catch a car;
(Ain't it hot?)
It's gone before we get that far;
(Ain't it hot?)
We wipe- the perspiration dry
From neck and chin and nose and eye
And hope and pray for cloudy sky.
(Ain't it hot?) , -
We reach the office wringing wet;
(Ain't it hot?)
The gang is. in a stew and fret;
(Ain't it hot?)
No one wants to work or stay;
Lake Mich is but a mile away;
They say the water's fine to-day. -
(Ain't it hot?)
We sit down at the old machine;
(Ain't it hot?)
And try to coax an addled bean;
(Ain't it liot?)
Our hands and face have sVeat
enough;
Our state of mind ia "Treat 'em
rough!"
And you get, just this kind of stuff.

Worn Down, Out of Heart
Georgia Lady, Worn-out and Tired, Tells How She
Was Helped by Ziron Iron Tonic
mHE personal experience of Mrs.
I Nannie Phillips, of Powder
Springs. Ga.. Is printed below in
tier own words:
' "I was in a worn-out condition. My
stomach was out of order. I didn't
leep welL I was tired, all the time.
I couldn't half eat, and didn't rest
lirell at night
'fc "I would get out of heart and blue.
;'! would feel like I was going to be
lown in bed. Yet t fcept dragging
Around, " -
"We heard of Ziron, and from what
I read, I was sure it wouldn't hurt me,
if it didn't help me. But after taking
it, I found it really helped me, and I
sent' back for more. I ate better, felt
much stronger. I am sure Ziron is
a splendid tonic."
Many people, who are worn down and
disheartened, due to stomach disorders
and nervous Ills, find relief by toning
up their blood with Ziron iron Tonla.

HIS FIGHTING FACE.
Ever on the alert for first-hand
sporting news, we are able to present
herewith the fighting face of Frank
C. Kelly, better known in the Atlan
tic Fleet as "Red" Kelly, who is the
undisputed bantam-weight champion
boxer of the Atlantic Fleet.
Kelly licked al! the boys hi3
weight in the Fleet during their four
month's cruise in southern waters
and won the championship from To
ny . Bagnano, of the dreadnaug'ht
Florida, on April 23, this yeaf. Kel
ly hails from Philadelphia, where he
recently spent his furlough, and
what a welcome he received can only
be told by the litle bantam.
To the People ofObion County.
I specially address the friends who
have supported me in my Legislative
contest. Owing to a misunderstand
ing on my part as to the required
number of names necessary to have
name entered on ballot, I have been
rejected by the Primary Board and
my name will not appear on the bal
lot as a candidate for the Legisla
ture. I had filed my petition several
days before the last day for filing,
but I had only 23 names and the law
calls for 25. I did not get notice of
my petition not having sufficient
names until it was too late for me
to add them.
I regret this more than I can ex
press to you in this notice. I believe
the prospective laws I presented to
you were for the best interests of
Obion County taxpayers and the en
tire State.
I believe in federal aid to schools
as the proper way to build up your
county schools, and as Tennessee is
th 46th State as to the standard of
education, you will get this aid by
special attention from your Repre
sentative. I believe' Tennessee should have a
law to buy your county supplies at
the lowest bid, just as you have
bought your school books. Last year
the counties paid into the wholesale
houses $150,000 for office supplies at
retail prices.
I believe Obion County should
have laws revising the salaries of
your county officers in such a way
that the county should not pay the
Sheriff out of county taxes as we are
now doing to the amount of $1200.00
per year. You should al30 provide
for your Cirucit Court Clerk, for he
will soon have to be provided for as
does your Sheriff at present.
Trusting your selection for Repre
sentative may be to the best interest
of Obion County, I am your obedient
servant with grateful heart for hon
ors bestowed upon me in the past,
D. P. CALDWELL.

"Well, Mrs. Gadby, you have been
visiting in our little city several

you?"

to when I want to wear out a lot of
old clothes."
