An eminent jurist said recently
that the United States today is
the most lawless country on the
face Of the earth, writes John P.
Ryanin Appleton's for November.
He adds that the defiance of law
by rioters is mild compared with
disregard of legal rights and the
liberty of citizens, the usurpation
of power and abuse of functions.
He said that the grand jury sys-
tenn had been converted from an
institution designed to protectthe
citizen into an agency used in
many instances for private venge-
ance, for the placing of a stigma
on honorable men, and for the boil
STEERING up of political power and
political ambitions.

In these days of strife between
the two great political parties and
party factions we must remember
that after all we are just a band OF
brothers here on earth, travelling
from the cradle to the grave. We
live side by side, we are members
of the same churches and fraternal
orders, our children attend the
same school, and now that the
smoke of battle has cleared away,
we will still be neighb ors and
should be friends. Let the bitter
things GO unsaid-they are not
now worth recalling or repeating
Life is short at best, and we ge
out of it full measure of sorrowt
Let us in our little city and coun-
ty live together as one big, good
natured family.
The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1908-11-27

Now that the election is over for
the time being, at least, let's make
a united effort for better schools
and better roads in every section
of our county. Good schools and
good roads go together, and we
can not make a success of the one
without the other. This will do
more to push Benton County to
the front and improve home and
farm conditions than anything we
could do at present.

AUNT REBECCA McKELvY.

aunt Rebecca McKelvy was born June
| 1921, and quietly passed away NoVem-
Der Is, aged 81 years, 5, months~and ID
days. GRANDMA" McKelvy, asshe was
generally called in her latter years, was
a remarkable woman, her eyesght and
hearing being impaired but little. For
a bout60 years she was member Of the
Baptist Church, and she was devout
woman, leading the life of consistent
Christian ever since We have known her.
The church has lost faithful member,
the community a good friend and neigh
Dor and the children faithful and low

heavily upon them we fell that their loss
is Heavens gain; so to the immediate
family we would say, weep not, but try
andlive so as to be ready when the final
summons comes to join grandma in

The road question is one that
will not down in Benton County.
No county in Tennessee has worse
roads than Benton. In fact, this

1t is gratifying to note the in

originated by some of the ladies
of Camden to form a book lovers

of promoting a wider knowledge
ofhigh class literature and writer's

helpful in many ways.

The number of States that voted
one way on national issues and
another way on State issues shows
that people are becoming more in
dependent of party control. The
increasing size of this vote adds
to the uncertainty and anxiety
with which party managers carry

The unpopularity of the Powder
Trust is so great that it's president
was recently obliged to drop out of
the Republican National campaign;
this ,rporatlon, however. retires at
fair wages Its used-up men. Those
fore d to pay exorbitant rates for
gas and electricity in New York City
may find some consolation in the
fact that part of the money goes to
pension the septuagenarian gas man.
Bad as is Thomas F. Ryan's Metro
politan Street Railway Company, its
conductors and motormen are able
to look forward to the time when
they can retire at half pay. Even
many of the great financial houses
and insurance companies that have
been recently subjected to general
criticism keep their faithful old en-
ployees on the payrolls.

KISSING sTIRs CHURCH
So Much of 1t That Deacon
May Publish Names.

Connellsville, Pa, Nov. % There
has been too much kissing going or
in the Free Methodist church al
Stauffer, according to the Rev. M
F. Shaffer, the pastor. who gave
orders last Sunday from the pulpit
that it must stop.
Aaron Gadd, deacon and leader
in the church, went even further at
a special meeting last night and
threatened to make public the names
of all the members of the congrega-
ton he had seen spooning and kissing
there. The deacon says he has a
long list. The porch of the church
and the road in front have also been
favorite trysting places.
The pastors announcement was
caused by the actions of young cou-
pie who during a recent service
would steal kiss every time the
congregation bowed in prayer.

"INSURGENT"
Members of Tobacco AssOcia;
tion Pass Resolutions.

Princeton, KY, Nov. 2s.-The
Caldwell County Tobacco Associa
ton, insurgents" met at the court
house this afternoon. The meet
ing was presided over by former
Police Judge R. R. Morgan. Short
talks were made by S. d. Dodge and
j. H. Hawthorn. also by Hugh Lyon,
of Eddyville. The same resolutions
were read and adopted as those
recently adopted at Kuttawa, Lyon
county. There were no objections to
the resolutions, and as result the
vote on them was declared unanimous
and everything passed off quietly.
This years crop is the last of the
three years association pledge. The
resolution adopted to-day does not
affect this years crop or that portion
of the 1907 crop now unsold. which
means that there will be no hitch
between the association members
and the insurgents.

WITHDRAWAL OF Troops.

The evacuation of state troops
from the night rider district has
been going on for several days and
by today practically all of the SOL
aiers will have returned to their
homes. The Pineville company
from Hickman and Cadiz were the
first to arrive here Saturday morn
ing and left on an evening train for
Pineville, reaching home Sunday
night. They have been on duty in
this end of the state for six or eight
months.
Capt. Utley's detachment of 10
Madisonville men came in from Ora
eey Sunday and practically all of the
camps excepting two have been
broken up and the troops sent home.
This is military headquarters and
after deposlting their camping out.
6ts here they were sent home.
later their equipments will be re-
turned to Frankfort, unless they
should be needed again.
There is a feeling generally that
the soldiers will not be needed
again in this county. There are now
no Independent tobacco houses ope-
rating here and there seems to be
hut little bad feeling remaining be-
tween the country and the town.
The people of the country at last
understand that Hopkinsville has all
along shown a most friendly feeling
towards them. The banks have &C.
commodated association members
rs far as they could, the merchants
have extended credit in many instan-
ees and no unkind word has appear
ed in any of the papers, even when
attempts were made in some quar-
tiers to misrepresent and to create
prejudice. The city itself has ex-
empted from taxation tobacco stor-
ed in the city for nearly a year,
valued at the time of the assessment
period at perhaps half million dol
lars. When it is realized that the
taxes on $500, 900 amount to $500,
ahe farmers can better understand
The liberal spirit the city.of Hopkins
vile has shown in exempting all of
this property from taxation, and |
Ahe same policy will be pursued in
the future. 1t is not believed that |
any formidable movement against
The city could be worked up now.
Even the fear of prosecution no Ion
ger disturbs the night riders, for
probably well understood by
their friends. The only cases on the
docket here were carried over until
next March, and the last grand jury
returned no new indictments. 1t is
not believed that any further at
tempts to prosecute the raiders will
be made for at least a year, or until
are changed.
In view of all these facts, the peo-
ple.of Hopkinsville do not entertain
much apprehension of trouble.
1t is further believed that Gov.
Wilson has some we'll formed pur.
pose in putting the lawless elements
on their good behavior at this time
md that if further outrages occur
be will try some entirely different
lactics in dealing with the outlaws.
