WILL BE HELD
IN CHATTANOOGA
Possibilities ARE GREAT
Seek to Interest Young Men IN
Small Towns and Rura1 Com
mittees IN the Work.

"Tennessee's Resources, Preservation
and Development" is the unique theme
to be used in connection with the state
convention of the Tennessee Young
Mems Christian Associations to be held
at Chattanooga, February 1922 A
prominent business man said the other
day "Tennessee's most valuable re-
sources are her young men and boys
and that the Young Mems Christian
Associations in the state are doing
much for their preservation and devel-
opment."
The activities of the Y. nj. G. A. in
clude work among city young men,
students, soldiers, railroad men, street
railway men, miners and other indus
trial classes. Young men in small
towns and rural communities have
been interested to some extent, but a
larger development of this important
field is being planned. The state COM
mittee will recommend to the state
convention the employment of coun-
ty work secretary whose duty it will
be to extend the association movement
as indicated in the foregoing.
AS over one-half of the young men
and boys of Tennessee reside in the
small towns and rural communities the
possibilities for development are great.
John r. Boardmen, of New York City,
secretary of the county work depart
ment of the international committee,
will attend the Chattanooga convention
and speak on the topic, "County Work
and its Achievements. A large num-
Der of other strong men will appear on
the program.
In view of the probable Inauguration
of county work special and earnest
invitation is extended interested friends
of this community to attend the con-
vention. Hospitable entertainment
will be provided by the good people of
Chattanooga, and extensive prepara-
ton are being made to entertain the
delegates royalty.

on the railroads and detailed program
can be had by addressing v. T. Griz-

PROHIBlTlONiST
QUICK WITH GUN
WOULD SHOOT TO KILL?
Prohibition and Carrying of Con
cealed Weapons are Both on
the State Law Books

An ardent prohibitionist, man Of
splendid character, was greatly out
ragged that a member of the Mississippi
legislature got ON a spree. He found
this member in the vicinity of the
headquarters of one of the candidates.
He wrote an editorial for his paper,
from which it was inferred, and he
also honestly thought, that the liquor
which the drunk man had was being
furnished at the headquarters of this
candidate.
He made charge also against a fol-
lower of the candidate that he was
supplying the liquor to the saturated
legislator.
The next day the man making the
charges and the man against whom he
made charge of supplying the liquor
met in the lobby of hotel.
The prohibitionist drew pistol.
If the other man had pressed up to
him there would have been tragedy.
The other man, however, said that
he was unarmed, and the prohibitions
list turned over his pistol to a bystand-
er.
Now, let it be said that the prohibit
ZIONIST in this case was a bloodthirsty
man or a man oflow character. Indeed,
he is pur-minded, upright and for
many years an instrument for good in
his state; yet this man, Mortified that
another man gets drunk, does not hes
itate to carry gun, to draw a gun,
and would not have hesitated TO use it
if the difficulty had gone to the shoot
ing point.
Prohibition is the law in Mississippi,
and prohibition statutes ought to be
enforced; but the law against carrying
concealed weapons is also on the books
in Mississippi, and it ought to be en-
forced.
All the jags, all the drunks and all
the near-drunlls that have ever been
thrown in Jackson, from all times
down to the present, are not as bad
as the taking of one human life.
The funny part of the whole trausac-
ton is that when the legislator came
10 he stated that the beginning of his
drinking was in the headquarters Of q
rival candidate, and that he was just
rounding 10 near those headquarters
where he was ound.--Commercial APP
