law at Alamo in Crockett County, re
maining there until 1902. Then he
moved to Ripley in Lauderdale Coun
ty, where ho has since been engaged
in the practice of law and where he
has also been considerably interested
in agriculture.
Mr. Craig was a member of the
,egtslature from Crockett County in
97 and 1899, instrumental in snap-
much of the constructive legisla-
n at that time. He is at present
tate Senator from his Senatorial
district and a leader in the work of
remedial legislation, drafting and
causing the passage of the 1921 as
sessment law, calling for reassess
ment of taxable property in Tennes
see and relief ri-.oci the burdens of
the 1920 assessment. He made a
stiong fight for economy in appropri
ations and expenses cf State govern
ment and stood ageinst increased
and unnecessary appropriations. He
fought tho appropriation for a bo
nus of 1450 for each member and re
fused to accept it when it was for
warded to him after the Legislature
adjourned, and sent it back to the
State treasury. He fought the back-
tax machine and the system, insist
ing upon the as jesrment of intangi
ble taxes of corporations as well as
the visible tangitle property of the
farmer. He has stood for moral is
sues and the integrity of individual
rights.
Mr. Crrig is a life-long Democrat
and has taken pan by contribution
and public speaking in the interest
of his party in every campaign for
the past thirty years. He is a con
vincing speaker, an able advocate, a
successful lawyer and business man.
We take pleasure in commending
Mr. Craig to the voters and citizens
of Obion County as a man of fine
ideals and honorable aspirations, in
tegrity of purpose, vcrthy of your
confidence and consideration, and in
the question of determining how to
vote for Congress in the coming
election you ' should bo fair to Mr.
Craig in making a correct estimate
of his record and his claims for that
inmortant position in the gift of the
people of the Ninth Congressional
District.
Teaching of Evolution.
Editor Commercial, Dear Sir:
What is the world coming to any
how? The fatal theory of evolution
is sweeping the nation like a cy
clone; it is being taught in our lit
erary schools, Sunday schools, and
preached from some of our pulpits
The minds of tho youth of our coun
try are being corrupted with it, while
the author of the theory hfmself says
that it cannot be proven. You plant
a seed, it sprouts and comes up and
grows into a plant and finally ma
tures seed, and the evolutionists call
this evolution and apply the princi
ple to the whole universe which he
claims came that way. This is not
evolution; it is simply the natural
progressive action of the life that
God in his own mysterious way put
into the seed. . This is succession and
succession is not evolution, nor does
it prove or imply such a process. The
evolutionists put God clear out of
business and nudertake to degrade
man to the base level of the brute,
claiming that he sprang from fish
like ancestors and evolved up thru
the monkeys, apes and finally de
veloped into man. A baser falsehood
never fell from the lips of man. Wit
one single exception all evolution)
admit that evolution is unproven
that it lias not nor cannot be
verted into a scientific fact,
