HAMILTON AHEAD.

In the Athletic contests at the
Summer School at Knoxville H. T..
Hamilton, of Maryville College,
won many honors and made nearly
all of the points for Tennessee. The
following clippings are taken from
the Knoxville papers:
In feats Of strength Hamilton Of
Maryville, won laurels for himself
and scored well for Tennessee.
Moore of Vanderbilt also did good
work. journal. suoian
Hamilton was the strongest of ths
athletes as is shown in his winning
the putting the shot and throwing th'
hammer contest. Although these
two events do not require strength
more than a knowledge of the correc
use Of the muscles any one could tel
by looking at him closely that he wa
an athlete of no mean ability.
Scott and Hamilton carried off til
honors Of the day.-Tribune.

We mentioned in last weeks issue
that Miss Pauline McKinzie, accom-.
panied by her friend Miss Lille Han
mum had went on a visit to Knoxville
and was taken SO sick with Typhoid
fever, that it was impossible to bring
her home. Before the paper had
reached all of our readers Miss
Pauline's spirit returned to The God
which gave it. She died Wednesday
afternoon in the. full triumph of a
christian faith. The remains were
brought over from Knoxville Thurs
day on special train and after the
funeral which was conducted by Revs.
G. w. Jackson, J. w. Carnes and
DR.. P. M. Bartlett, the burial took
place in Magnolia Cemetary. Paul
inc was in her sixteenth year, aud al
though 50 young she was well Known
by almost everybody in town and was
a favorite with all, on account of her
modest and winning way. Brough,
up as she was in christian home,
she was the well bred young lady al
all times, never boisterous or loud
or affected. The funeral was sac
one. Her youth and beauty combin.
ed with her sudden death caused 3
feeling of sadness in every heart. The
tears shed by that large audience
showed the universal esteem in which
she was held. Her life has proved |
blessing to Maryville and will con
tinue to prove blessing for man,
years to come.

was 81; in 1895 it was 100, in 1896 it

Walker has been advancing the STAN
dard Of education in the county, Prof.
Gill deserves much credit for the in
creased interest in institute work and
in raising the standard of the grade Of
teachers throughout the county. H
The following is the program as
carried out during the week.

Wiley DAVIS.

There seems to be a disposition on
the part5f our morning contemporary
to give our Wiley the little end of a
comparison of his and Bill Hill'swork
since they left Knoxville. The COM
parison is rather odious and does not
give Davis what is due him. The
fact is that Davis has almost always
been called on in an emergency case
when the team was being stared in
the face by defeat. He has not only
pulled the team out of hole d by his
heavy batting but has won games by
his pitching after the regular pitcher
was Knocked out of the box. Three
times he has been put in the game af-
ter it was lost, and won out by his
hitting. HIS work has been very sat
isfactorY, having won almost all the
games he has pitched and made re-
markabIe record with the stick. He
is considered one of the best hitters
in the western league.
Hill, it may be said to his credit,
has done some good work, but 1t will
be remembered that more than one
game has been lost by his wild work
in the box. f".'i
Both men have done exceedingly
well and Knoxville is justly proud
that two such men should go out from
here.
The following taken from last
weeks Sporting Life under an Indian
apolis date shows what is thought of
Davis at Indianapolis: 5Ni
"The sensational work of the past
month has been done in the box by
THE two youngsters, Monroe and
Davis. The Little Emperor" as
Monroe, has been dubbed by the
Ecranks, is the pitching find Of the
season and has yet to, have a defeat
chalked up against.him. Wiley Da-

UnstabiIfty of Silver.

These estimates of value show the shift
ing, tickle and unstahe character of the
silver currency in these countries. Under
such a system no one could do any business
of great consequence unless he took pains
to post himself from day to day in regard
to the bullion price of silver. 1t would be
like keeping track of our paper currency
before the war. The ratio in Japan is
1915 to /, and in Mexico 1917 to ]. and the
fineness is the same in both countries as
in ours. On the basis of our silver dollar
the Japanese yen ought to be worth 1912
cents, while it's actual value in our money
of account on the first day of April last.
was only $50 cents. With us our silver COL
lar is kept on parity with our gold dollar.
In Mexico and Japan their silver money is
kept on a parity with silver bullion-for
that Is really their ultimate standard OF
value. 1t rests on no other basis. But here
the question naturally comes up: What
has caused or brought about the great d.
vergence between the coin ratio, or value
of silver, and the commercial ratio, or value
of the same.
A plain statement or narrative of facts
will, to a large extent, solve the same In
1870 silver was legal tender, and admit
ted to free coinage in all the minis of Eu-
rope. except England, at the ratio of loEa
to 1. This almost universal free coinage
demand fixed, in the main, the price OF Sill

time, 1917, just SeVen-hGndredtnS OF an
ounce difference from the coin ratio. In
1871 the German Empire, formed from
number of separate states, each with its
own separate system of coins and coinage.
having obtained a billion dollars of war
indemnity in gold from France, and being
anxious to establish a single, uniform sys-
TEN of money for the entire Empire,

In 1873 the United States followed In the

Holland suspended the free coinage of sill

manently in 1876. In 1875 the Scandinavian
Union, composed of Sweden, Norway and
Denmark, suspended free coinage, demone-
tized silver, and adopted the gold standard.
In 1865 France, Belgium, Italy Switzer-
land and Greece, in order to protect them
selves against the threatened outflow of
silver, formed themselves into the Latin
Union, and adopted the double standard at
the ratio Of 1914 TO 1. This arrangement
remained intact until 1876, when the tide
of silver from Germany and other points
became SO strong, and the fall in the price
of silver became so great, that the Union
was compelled to suspend coinage, since
which time there has practically been no
free coinage of silver. In the meantime
