BRYAN SPEAKS
Has Something 70 Say on Re-
IigiOn and Temperance

Secretary Of State William Jen-
nings Bryan addressed two large
audiences in Philadelphia last San
day on the benefits Of religion and
the necessity Of training the young.
AT the Bethlehem Presbyterian
church, which was celebrating its
fortieth anniversary, he cited his
beliefs and incidents in his own
life to prove the value of religious
training in youth.
AS look back over nv own
life," he said, II cannot lind that
! have added anything to my
moral principles since reaching
manhood's estate, and in separat-
ing the credit / find little that
can boast OF as my own"
Mr.. Bryan told his hearers how
a dislike for swearing, gambling
and drinking had been impressed
upon him BY his parents in his
early days. This dislike, he said,
has continued ever since.
Gambling" declared Mr.. Bryan,
is even more demoralizing than
drink and harder to defeat. The
gold cure may take the taste for
liquor out Of a man, but only God
can take the curse of gambling out
Of a mans heart"
American diplomacy is not Of
that kind where you have to make
a man drink to deal with him." de-
clared Secretary Bryan il discus
sing temperance. During my
long career, including more than
a quarter Of a century in active
politics, there never has been one
day when | thought 1t better to
take a drink of alcoholic liquor,
even in moderate degrees. In
foreign lands / have adhered to
the same principle, and / have yet
to hear a single criticism of my
actions either at home on abroad. I
In his address at the Second
Regiment Armory on THE Maxi
ing of Man. he urged the neces-
sity of building moral character
upon religion and a loyalty to
Christ and his teachings.

O'clock. She died at the home of
George w. Chambers, near Con-
cord in the Twenty-fourth district,
Mrs. Chambers being her daugh-
ter, and with whom she was spend
ing the winter.
About two years ago Mrs. Moore
was stricken with paralysis and she
has been in very feeble health ever
since. Two weeks ago she was
taken with malaria, which, compli-
Gated with other diseases, caused
her death,
The deceased was seyenty-six
years, six months and thirteen days
old. She had been member of
the Concord Baptist church forty
two years. She was the mothe
of twelve children, two died il in
fancy and ten, five boys and five

cred to Johnson's army, then at
New Hope Church, Georgia. From
New Hope Church to Jonesboro,
occupying the time from April TO
October was almost one eontinu-
Gus fight In this fiery ordeal of
war, which tried mems souls, were
formed and cemented comradships
among all the veterans Of those
days, which VIII last until we cross
the great divide.
The thin gray line is getting
more indistinct and will soon be
only history. The record of the
southern soldier will leave a rich
inheritance to posterity to emulate
in the line of courage, sacrifice and
heroism in a cause believed to be
right. The southern soldier did his
duty as he saw it. The south lost
its cause and accepted defeat. Pub
lie sentiment today in the south is
almost universal for national unity
with one country and one flag.
The chief justice Of the supreme
court and the president of the
United States are both southern
men. The south is furnishing its
quota of brains and money to sus-
tain this great republic.

Under present laws and estab-
lished methods, though the world
demand be for a crop possibly
larger than fourteen and one-half
million bales, / want to say to you
it will be suicidal to increase your
acreage. 1t is more important to
hold yourself and your acreage in
check this year than ever before.
To yield to the temptation of an
increased price this season will be
equivalent to proving yourself de-
void of even common sense.
The planting season is upon us,
now. Stop and think for a day or
two before you listen to the siren
song of thirteen cents. The dan
ger to you and yours is greater
by far than last year. IT you must
have a larger acreage on your
farm, put the increase in corn and
other food crops. AS one who has
striven to aid you in the hour of
need, and has been faithful to the
trust imposed in him, let me en-
treat You to hold your acreage
down and prove to the world that
you are not obliged to rush in and
do what every cotton broker in
New York, liverpool and elsewhere
ask you to do for your own undoing
and the enrichment of others.

AGREEMENT REACHED
Work Soon TO Begin Fixing Up
East End

The trouble between the city
authorities and the East End peo-
pie has been adjusted and work
will begin some slime soon in Tx
ing up that end of town.
Under the agreement the East
End property owners withdraw all
suits against the corporation, pay
their taxes from 1910, inclusive,
to the present, and will not resist
further coming into the corpora
ton. The city agrees to carry
water and lights and grayeled
streets to that end Of town as soon
as possible.
This gives the corporation big
Job, and one that will cost quite a
lot Of money, but when the work
is done, aud the concrete side
walks built, the property owners
are intending to construct, East
End will be one of the most at
tractive sections of town.
We hope the work, which now
seems exceedingly probable, will be
done without any opposition from
any section. The work is needed,
the people in that end of town are
entitled to it, and by doing it the
general appearance of the town
will be improved over fifty per
cent. Don't throw any chunks in
the wheels Of progress.

SHOT IN ARM
A Lad Accidentiy Wounds Him
self With Gun

Cloy Butler, son of Grant But
Ter, OF the CARROTS Mill commun-
ity, accidently shot himself last
Friday morning. Young Butler,
who is about fifteen years old, was
doing some work in the woods and
took his gun with him. A crow
lit near where he was working,
and he reached for his gun, pulling
it over a log, the muzzle toward
him. The hammer caught against
the log causing the gun to explode.
The load took effect at she wrist
and tore away nearly all the flesh
of the arm to the elbow. The lad
was taken home and put under
treatment Of a physician. 1t was
feared for a while that the arm
would have to be amputated.

AFTER EILDCATTERS
Baker and Tyler Make Success
ful Raids Last Week

Deputy Collector I. Fl. Baker,
of Memphis; Special Raider w.
III. Tyler, of Nashville; Deputy
Newt Kirk, of Huntingdon, and
Sheriff j. Frank Martin, OF Lex
ington, captured and destroyed a
100-gallon capacity still with all
the appurtenances thereto. We'd
nesday of last week. The still was
on the headwaters of Browns
creek, between Wildersville and
Stafford. The last run had been
made several days before, but the
owners Of the plant were not
caught.
Thursday night the same Of
fcers went to the Buckshort com
munity, two and one-half miles
east of Wildersyille, where they
cuptured another still Of 80-gallons
capacity. They captured 100 gal
Ions of sour mash and also ten fer
mentors.
There is considerable validating
in the section where these raids
took place. Every still that has
been captured in this section for a
long time has been in the southern
part of this, or the northwestern
part of Henderson county. The
sending into this section of these
successful raiders indicate that the
government is going to go after
the offenders.

Editor Democrat:
In your issue of the 4th inst.

Nathan Nesbitt and Dolph Bryant.
Such devotion, like Damon and
Pythias, running through a
life-time is beautiful to each
other. | hope their close friend
ship may last through time
and eternity. Mention of these
veterans of the civil war reminds
me of "reminiscences of that four

the part OF the south to maintain
rights, which were learned in the
school Of state sovereignty Edu-

sons of the south answered the call
