poverty and can't get along without
the milk unless he has its equivalent.
Thus Mr.. Jones child steps off the
stage of life, murdered by Mr. Brown 5
Christian neighbor forced to do so
through circumstances he was unable
to control Mr.. Brown knew it was
wrong but he was victim of the COM
petative system--a competitor for life,
and that of his offspring. He consoled
himself, as many others are doing to-
day, by saying, Jesus knew my condi-
tion, and knew l was forced to do
what l did, and he will forgive me for
he knew did not want to do Bro.
Jones wrong but / had to. All my
Christian friend, He will hold you re-
sponsible because he gave you brains
that YOU might think and reason out
these things but you won't reason If
you do but reason you can plainly see
that system of National Cooperation
would give you conditions whereby you
could live your Christianity, but un-
der this system you never can, but if
you will do all in your power to eradi-
cate the conditions which enslave man
and force him to be criminal, you
will walk to the polls and cast your
ballot for Socialism and the Brother
hood of Man, for your ballot is your
power. "There are many who will

he that hath clothed and fed the least
of these, my brethren, have done it
unto me. - You plainly see Jesus
taught as the first step to the higher
attributes that man must have food
and clothing and that it must come by
cooperation. Cooperation was taught
as the only plan; viz, to get all of
the wealth you create, less the distrib-

teach this doctrine, but they don t..
Greed has got them, but it is being

So look out, ye blind leading the blind,
or you will both fall into the ditch,
for Jesus Indictment stands against
you today for twisting and warping
his word to suit capitalistic political
economy, thereby deceiving those who
have not time nor opportunity of in

GOV. cox TRAVELS MILES TO INSPECT
COAL LANDS.
Coal of Standard Grades Found In Veil
Varying From Three Feet to Six Feet !
Will Probably Take These Lands
Instead Of Hill lands

PIKEVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 23.
Gov. Cox will approve the purchase of
the Herbert Domain in Bledsoe and ad-
joining counties decided on by the
prison commission last Friday. The
governor and Supt. Reynolds returned
tonight from two days inspection o.,
the property, which includes II 900 a.
acres of fine coal and timber lands.
Both were highly pleased with the evil
dences of coal and timber.
Seams of both Sewanee and Bon Air
coal were seen varying in thickness
from 3 feet inches to feet 9 inches.
While Gov. Cox will not officially sig
Nifty his approval of the purchase till
the formal report of the expert is sub
mitted, the nature of that report has
already been outlined and is such that
the governor feels justified in stating
that he will ratify the purchase.
The governor and party reached here
tonight at 8 o'clock after drive of
10 miles in zero weather. The inspec-
tion has been made with six inches of
snow on the ground.

Maryville, Ill.

There is blood on the barn lot and
hair on the ground, while the dog on
his launches sits drooling around
there's lung on a fence stake and a
crow in the air, to steal a rich morsel
when no one is there. The boys are
on hand and never yet fail to fight for
the bladder and scrap for the tail, and
the diet for days is sausage and souse,
while the smell of fried cracklings
pervades the whole house. No one
in world knows the full joy of hog
killing time like the hale farmer boy.
Head cheese and back bones make his
countenance shine, and his soul fairly
revels in sweet tenderloin, while the
liver and brains, the ends and the
odds, with spare ribs well roasted are
fit for the gods .-Ex.

done in just the same way.
Here are few epigrams that survive
him and are worth remembering;
Death repentance is the retreat of a

The only title | want is D. DIFF
it means Devil Driver.
Whiskey is good thing in its place,
but its place is in hell.
Politicians have no more heart than
Florida alligator or society woman.
When God gives man a good wife
and fifteen children, or so, he's all
right; when the devil givs him a wife
and poodle dog, he's in bad way.
Partisan politics and religious sect

He'd give fine park TO tn city an

He'd git us lot of gondolas., regard
less of any expense
An make it regular Venice, where
visiting ladies an gents
Would come firm all over to see it,
with everything free as tn air,
With lemonade plenty as water an
bands that would play everywhere
An alwus Jim was a-talkin'

How them as has money they keep il
And them as hain't give it away
Jim never was much ON Carnegie an

He'd buy-all tn circuses goin' an op'

He'd give every youngster pony an

An ten dollar bills would be fyin' a:

He'd start up place in each city
where icecream an cake would be free
An think nothin more of a. million

He'd borry pipe of tobacco firm mt

An sigh with heart full of sorrow,
an say with big tears in his eyes
Thet his wife orto have new wrapper

What Not to Say.

An article by Bertha Gaus in the
New Idea Womans Magazine for Jan
uary takes up the polite art of CONVEX
sation from negative point of view.
The 'donts' enumerated by the wri-
ter for those wishing to be good talk
ers, are Don't tell long stories of per-
sonal experience. Don't air your pre-
judices. Don't talk of melancholy or
grusome matters. Don't speak in a
low, monotonous tone. Don't ride
conversation too hard. Don't hinder
the conversation by trying to be too ac-
curate over details. Don't go back
and add appendices to a subject after
you have left it. Don t run one story
into another. Don't stop a discussion
by the clinching use of proverb.
Don t make point of always agreeing
with q speaker. Don't harp too long
on one string. Don't affect stilted
style After discussing these prohib-
itions to takers at some length the
writer concludes "Still, it must be
confessed that there are people who
are constitutionally incapable of fol-
lowing out these rules, and who, in
spite of all their violations, are inter
esting people. They have native
strength and make their own rules of
self expression. They are the stuff ont
of which novelists make character inn
presentations. In real life, as in books,
they add to the gaiety of nations. But
they are not exemplars of the art of
conversation, which requires harmoni-
Gus balance in all the give and take of
conversational exchange"

When Christmas Bells RInu Out.

when Christmas bells ring ont, somehow
They always find me dreaming
VI olden days, of polished floors
And candles mellow cleaning.
I'm listening TO the laughter
or voices blithe and young,
10 strains of flute and violin
And quaint old ballads sung.
A-stealing back across the years
Come ghosts of vanished pleasures,
And many feet are keeping time
10 merry lifting measures.
Dear eager eyes,.dear voice long stilled,
Such memories come thronging
At Christmas time and fill the soul
With human love and longing.
