forcement and declaring war for
life against the hellish whisky

if the defeat of Judge M. q.

had anything to dc with Judge
A. B. Neil, of the Davidson

Friday, OCT. II, 1918.

The Progress doubtless has
readers who will wonder that the
paper reproduces anything con
nected with NJ. R. Patterson in,
any spirit except one of condem'
nation. Patterson's utterances
at Murfreesboro, reproduced in
this issue, are true as Holy Writ,
nor can we read the heart of the
man, who at the aye of fifty
years, after opportunity to reach
TIE highest honors and after so
using or abusing those opportu,
mites that he finally sank to the
foulest depths Of degradation,
now declares that he has thrown
off the shackles of whisky and
the whisky traffic and that by
and with the grace of God, the
remainder of his life will be
spent in fighting that which po'
lutes everything on the Earth
that it touches. Mr.. Patterson
is making the only stand that a
decent man can afford to make
and he makes the claim that he
has become a decent man. If he
is sincere we wish him Godspeed
on his way and in his effort to
atone for the great harm he has
done. He might have been
blacker than he was ever pictur.
ed, he might have been the NOV.
ing spirit in the assassination of
Oarmack-but the saving grace
of Almighty God could even then
reach out and open his eyes to
the better way and set his feet
upon it. We honor him more in
the humiliating confession made
in public at Murfreesboro, than
we do the citizen who claims
responsibility and is yet allied
with the whisky traffic under the
false claim of following the
Democratic party or in any other
way. Patterson to prove his sin,
certify, must not ask for any office
nor must he accept any if offer
ed. Let him stand the test of
fire and steel, of the scorn and
ridicule of his former allies, and
when he proves himself he can
be power for good in Tennessee.

The Future of the Windmill.

The great possibilities of the wind mill of the future, as outlined by scien- lists, reads like fairy tale. It will be and is now used not only to trrigate millions of acres of desert land, but it can be used to produce electric power, which can be stored away and kept for future use in lighting the house, cook ing, heating and furnishing the water supply. Even the weekly washing and ironing may be done by means of the windmill. Among other ideas suggest ed by scientists is the establishment along all the roads in the country of electrical windmill storage places where any one driving a motor car may stop, drop a coin in the slot. re-
 plenish the supply and keep on going. Tn fact the possibilities of this latest adaptation of the windmill are so great as to make an enumeration of the many things for which it may be used almost mpossible.-London Opinion.

When the Sea Was Fresh Water.

! The ocean was once merely bra ckish and not salt, as it is now. This was when the earth was in it's first youth and before there was any land showing at all or any animal life in the water. At this time the water was gradually cooling from its original state of steam, and the salts were slowly undergoing the change from gases into solids. Then came the appearance of land and later on rivers, which gradually wash ed down more and more salts, while at the bottom Of the ocean itself chemical action was constantly adding more brine to the waters. At present it is estimated that there are in the worlds oceans 100000 cubic miles of salt, and the most astonishing thing about it is that if all the salt could be taken out in moment the level of the water would not drop one single inch.
