who were faithful to every interest
of our community. We had, also
a large number of non-productive
and helpless citizens, to the extent
that one of the duties falling upon
me as pastor was to distribute
charity to the helpless and needy.
This | did, first through my young
peoples society and latterly by
the kindness of one or two prom
inent citizens who have since died.
About eight years ago, as Christ
mas time approached, our kindly
disposed and charitable citizens
empowered me to distribute the
necessities and joys of the Christ
mas season to the helpless and
needy. Accordingly, on Christ
mas Eve I sent out seventeen
turkeys, accompanied by baskets
of potatoes, cranberries, buns and
such things as would make a hap
Ply Christmas meal. l would have
yon keep in mind that at that time
we had about six thousand in
habitants and twenty-three sa-
looms. Shortly afterward or about
seven years ago, we voted Glen
vile dry. We have increased in
population until that territory now
has over twenty-five thousand in
habitants, and of this entire popu-
lation there is now not a single
family, SO far as | cac find, ask
ing charity at the hands of any
one or who would be willing
to accept donations because OF
their poverty.
I would ask the question, which
is the better charity-to contribute
to the relief of the helpless poor,
or to create conditions by which
this helpless poor can be self
supporting?-Americom Issue.

why the South is Going Dry.

Many reasons have been cited
for the rapid progress OF the Anti
Saloon movement throughout the
south. The situation in southern
states in regard to the race prob
lem has been considered a very
strong factor and has unquestion-
ably played an important part.
The fact that the people OF the
south are largely church members
and church sympathizers has also
had much to do with the success
OF the temperance reform,
One most significant fact, how
ever, has not received as much
consideration as it deserves-the
absence of the foreign element in
the south. In a recent address DR..
Howard H. Russell, the founder of
the Anti Saloon League, said:
"The south is so largely Ameri-
can. There r only about three
and one-half per cent. of foreign
ers in the south. In the north the
people come largely from other
lands, with other ideas and habits,
and these people must be educated
to our views on the saloon. More
over, in the south we have a re-
ligious country, and the strong
churches there, both white anc
colored, have had weight in de-
clding against the saloon. With
in five years, we shall have a 'solic
south'-solid for sobriety against
the saloon.-Americdn Issue.

The Federal G. 0. ID. Law.

On January list, the provisions
of the federal law to regulate the
shipment of liquors into dry ter
ritory, will go into effect. While
this me assure will not do away
altogether with the evils OF inter-
state shipments of Intoxicating
liquors, it will go far toward
making state laws against the sale
or disposal OF intoxicating liquors
more enforceable, and it will put
out of business many of the So
called express companies, now OPP
Grating for the sole purpose OF
evading the state liquor laws.
Among the main features of this
new act is one prohibiting a COM
mon carrier from receiving for
transportation any package OF
liquor unless the contents and
quantity are plainly marked on
the cover. Another demands that
the name of the consignee shall
not be a fictitious name and that
the package cannot be delivered
to any other party without a writ
ten order from the consignee.
Still another prohibits G. 0. D.
shipments altogether.
Under the provisions of this law,
the express company will not be
able to act as agent for any party
ordering liquors or for any liquor
house and the penalty for the vio-
lation of any OF the provisions OF
the law is in the form of a fine, not
exceeding five thousand dollars.
The G. o. D. shipments of liquor
under the interstate commerce act
from the wet territory of n state
into the dry territory of another
state has been one of the greatest
evils against which the local and
state authorities have had to fight
in their efforts to enforce prohi-
bition and local option statutes
In many cases the so-called ex-
press Office has become in sub
stance a dispensary which is OPP
Grated in defiance of the state law
but under the protection of the
interstate commerce shipment act.
This measure will greatly improve
the conditions but federal legisla.
ton will need to go very much
farther before complete relief il
secured.-Americdn Issue.

Two Methods of Christian Char

At this season of the year as we
approach the Thanksgiving period
and later the joys of the Christ

prosperous and happy turn their

ing gifts not only upon their
friends but upon those less for

thousand inhabitants and twenty

The sixth annual meeting Of the West
Tennessee FAIR Association has come to
close. The fair as a whole gave much
greater satisfaction this year than usual.
The shows and exhibits were conducted
to much better advantage. We have,
like a great many others, however, a
weakness for making suggestions, and
they are simple enough One is that
the grandstands should be provided with
awnings to protect the audiences from
the hot sun in the afternoons. Another
is that the road leading from the city to
fair grounds should be sprinkled every
day of the fair when the weather is dry.
These two items alone are calculated
to add greatly to the pleasure and com
fort Of the visitors coming here to the

To the Voters of obion County.

1t has been the universal custom OF
the voters of this county to reward their
public servants who have been faithful
and efficient, with a second term there
by indorsing their administration.
Having had the office of County Judge
but one term, and having tried faithfully
to perform the duties of the office, if |
have succeeded, | do not hesitate to
ask you for second term.
1t is urged by some that this is long
term office; this is true, but it is also
true that it is the lowest salaried office
in the county.
This custom ofgiying county officials
a second term is so settled in the minds of
the voters that two of the candidates, viz;
for Trustee and Register, have no oppo-
nents.
| hear that it is held by some parties
that my age should be bar to my re-
election, but | do not believe that the
people of Obion County are ready to
cast aside, like worn-out garment, one
of its citizens who has given more than
half century to its service both in
peace and in war.
| had hoped to see most of the voters
at their homes, but the duties of my
office prevented this, and l take this
means of telling you why l have not
been able to see you in your homes.
1t is objected by some of the voters
that | have been extravaganza with the
county's funds. The truth is that l
have never spent dollar of the county
funds since | have been in Office. The
Magistrates make all appropriations,
and | cannot spend the county funds
without a gross violation of the law.
The Magistrates will do me the justice
to say that | have recommended econo-
my in all my reports to the court AS
a result of these recommendation and
the economy of the Magistrates, we have
now on hand in the county treasury
about 100000. At this time last
year we had 81. 43. The Magistrates
are entitled to the credit for this econo-
my, and | only deserve credit for having
advised them.
I have done my best to have the
assessments of the property so equalized
that each citizen will bear his just pro-
portion of the burden and no more.
| have used every legitimate means
to have the roads of the county i'm
proved, but having no authority, under
the law, | can only advise,
Whatever | have done, as County
Judge, has been inspired by an honest
purpose to serve the best interests of
Obion County. If l have failed, | sin
cerely regret it. If have succeeded,
even in a small degree, | am gratifed
and happy.
