The financial crisis is about

are just right. There has got to
come a readjustment of values.
Just before the crash came the
News sounded a note of warning
about high prices. And we prov
ed to be right. Prices must come
down. They are coming down,
too, every day. Horses and mules
are away off, cattle have suffered
a big loss in price and hogs have
gone down from seven cents to
four. Lumber is going of in
price, and so is cotton. Every
thing on the list has got to suffer
a big cut. The price of almost
Everything has got to 60 to the
bottom, and when it has reached
that point there will come a grad
ual readjustment of values, and
the country will be all right
again. But the price of everys
thing was too high. The bubble
was bursted, just as We predicted
it would be. A new. bubble will
have to be blown, and we shohld
all hope it win not be so big as

CONGRESS RACE
IN THE EIGHTH
BOTH DEMOCRATS AND REPu5LI,
CANS ARE GETTING ACTIVE IN
MR.. SIMS 5AlLlWIck.

HUNTINGDON, Tenn, Nov. 10
The tip has been given out that the
Republicans of the Eighth Congress
sional District are grooming either
Hon. S: e. Murray, of Huntingdon, or
Hon. E. w. Essary, of Lexington, as
their candidate to make the race
against the regular Democratic NOM
inee. Just where the report origina-
ted is not known but there is unques-
'tionably something in it, for when
The American correspondent asked
Mr. hurry in regard to the matter that
gentleman neither denied or confirmed
the report. stating that he might have
something to say later on Both Muir
ray and Essary are young, prominent
Republicans, and either is capable OF
putting up a hard fight in campaign.
and owing to the fact that Hon. ]. G..
r. Mccall came near defeating Con-
gresham Sims in the last election the
Republicans think they have a fight
ing chance to gain the district and
throw 1t into the Republican column.
However. thi sdoes not appear very
plausible, as there is no doubt that
Mr.. Mccall is one of the most popular
and strongest Republicans in the dis
trict and smooth campaigner, and
while he made a vigorous fight he was
unsuccessful. II is true that he was
defeated by only a small majority,
but when the fact is taken into con-
sideration that MT. Sims led the en-.
tire Democrat ticket in the district, II
does not fortell success for the Repub.
licans.

Are Liable the Same as if They
Were Shaving Promissory
Notes.

The city and county officials are
making a close investigation OF the
reports that certain parties in the
county are taking advantage Of the
ignorant and needs of the laboring
class of the county and are discount
ing checks and clearing house certif1-
Gates. Ii these reports can be traced
down the guilty parties viii be re-
quired to show cause why they are
doing a business akin to note shaw
ing without first taking out license
They will not only be required to pay
the license, but they may be penalty
attached.
All right thinking people look down
on this character of traffic. Parties
in Nashville have been guilty of the
same practice and the Mayor there
and county officials have taken steps
to bring them to time. 1t requires
fust the same license from the state
and county and also from the ,mu-
nicipalityT to shave or discount GER
tificates or checks that it does to
shave or discount promissory notes.
In Nashville an effort will also be
made to prosecute the certificate and
warrant shavers for obtaining money
under false pretenses. it being alleged
that many of this class have shaved
certificates by representing to the
holders of the same that they were
not worth their face value. Certifi-
Gates issued by the Maury County
Clearing House are abundantlys Sc
cured and are good for their face
value. and persons who discount them
are taking advantage of the ignorance

COLD, THE COD
OF AMERICA
PREACHER SAYS WE SHOULD
OMIT an GOD WE, TRUST"
FROM COIN.
RECENT PANIC IS A PUNISHMENT
Sent by Heaven, He Said, Upon
Mammon Worshiping
People.

NEW YORK, Nov. 8.--Gold is the
only gold of the American people. BY
dropping the words In God we trust
from all coins in the future the mask
of hypocrisy which for years had hid
den the real divinity of the Americans.
In Gold we trust would be the true
motto
The Rev. s. A. Preston, assistant
pastor of the Metropolitan Temple on
Fourteenth street and Seventh
today expressed these views re-
garding the dropping of the phrase
from the new gold and silver coins,
the first of which has just reached the
treasury from the Philadelphia mint.
THE recent panic is nothing more
or less than judgment sent by God
to Mammon-following race.
God has been forgotten in the Uni
ted States for years, and the inscrip-
ton that has marked the coins of the
nation has been nothing more than a
mockery.
Il am surprised, however, that the
nation has had the courage to drop
the disappearing words and by do
ing so make public abandonment to
the situation.
Mr.. Preston predicted that If this
country did not soon awaken to its
shocking spiritual condition it would
quickly receive the punishment ac-
corded the cities of ancient days.
Everywhere in Wall street may be
seen the tracks of Lazarus he said.
christianity is but an echo, and 1t is
not strange that God should visit a
punishment in the shape of the recent
panic on such an unchristian infidel
community"
Let me repeat that the dropping of
the motto from the coins is but the
tearing off Of the veil Of alleged Chris
tionity that the country has been
wearing for generations.
Even churches are owned by rich
men who use them for personal ends"

TO CLOSE HUME

FINAL ACTION TAKEN BY DlREC
TORS OF THE LOCAL Or
GANIZATIoN.
Building On Seventh And High
Streets Will Sc Sub
Leased.

AT meeting the directors OF the
focal Young Mems Christian Associa
ton Friday night it was definitely de
eided to abandon the home OF the
organization at Columbia. This &C
ton was due to the lack of funds and
to lack of interest in the organization
and was taken with much regret by
the members of the organization
There has never been a better insti-
tuition located in Columbia and its
abandonment will be cause for sin
cere regret by all who appreciate the
great work that has been done every
where by the Young Mems Christian
Association.
The association here owes small
floating debt. But it also has some
valuable assets. The lease on the
house used for the home at the corner
of Seventh and High streets has
eight years yet to run. This property

in Columbia since the lease was made.
The bowling alley paraphernalia. gym
nasium and furniture and fixtures

left the lease and the bath and closet
fixtures. There are number of par
ties negotiating for the lease.

social order and they need a place
to meet and while away the hours
Under the rules of the Columbia Mill
tary Academy neither the home boys
attending or those from other places
are allowed to loaf on the streets or
about the hotels and therefore they
have no place at all during vacation
hours where they can meet for social
intercourse.
