The grief of the old republican par
ty on having lost good old republi-
can is great. Charles Layne, who has
been drawing a pension for long
time. has now quit his party and has
voted socialist ticket. Uncle Charles,
we are in sympathy with you. We
don't believe that you know what you
have done. If you did you would come
back home. Uncle Charles, you have
voted against your bread and meat
Come home, come back to the old
home. You have voted for another
party, your own party to defeat. You
have voted against your own bread
and meat. Uncle Charles, come home.
oh, prodigal son, come home, and let
John Pressnell vote for whom be
pleases, for he is not drawing pen
sion. From a man who loves you,
GOOD MAN.

DOES NOT WISH TO
DEBATE FURTHER

Editor News:
As DIR. Blalock has accused me OF
living and assigned me to hell, thlnk
| shall stop my part of the discussion
OF course if he is a Greek scholar ne
knows that hell is the English for ha-
des and simply means the state OF
death. the curse that the whole hui
man race is under. Even our Lord
Jesus went to the tomb, the state OF
death, SO that is our common lot. Our
hope is beyond the grave, for we look
for a new heaven and new earth
wherein dwelleth righteousness. AS
to my name, l can prove by every one
that knows me that my name Is Belle
and have been "aunt" for over forty
years. So have not lied about that
After this | shall not notice the Bla-
lock letters, no matter what he may
say about me. His character is OBJ
vious to all right thinking people
"From the abundance of the heart the
mouth speaketh.
"Uncle Tom," Pm glad you have
been having good old time revival.
l was born and reared among the
Cumberland mountains and | we'll re-
member the good meetings we used to
have before so much of the spirit Of
the world got into the churches. Some
of the preachers were not very we'll
educated but they we're meek and
humble and full of the Holy Spirit.
Now it seems that when you listen to
some of the learned ministers of today
you can think of but one thing, 'Phar-
isee, Pharisee." Now, am not saying
anything against education. 1t is all
right if used right, but l do think
some of us can understand Gods word
well enough to lind the narrow way
without a finished education. Of
course we must first find the key and
then the great store house of know
ledge will open unto us, and it is high
time that we were studying the proph-
estes and finding out where we are
drifting on the stream of time. Ii we
read Acts 3rd chapter. 10Th to 21st
vetse, and the Scripture referred to
there we will learn something. 1t is
very important just now that we get
the eyes of our understanding open
as the time is at hand for the estab-
lishment of the kingdom of Christ un-
der the whole heaven. The lease of
power to the gentle kingdom is al
most out. The great time of trouble
is now impending. Read the 18th
chapter of Daniel.
"We are living. we are dwelling
In grand and awful time,
In an age on ages telling
To be living is sublime.
Hark the rumbling in the nations
Now crumbling with the clay.
Hank what soundeth. tbs creation
Groaning for better day"
And that day is near "the desired
Of all nations shall come" even SO
come, Lord Jesus.

Woman Finally Receivers
From Nervous Breakdown

Impoverished nerves destroy many
people before their time. Often be-
fore a sufferer realizes what the
trouble is, he is on the verge of a
complete nervous breakdown. It
is of the utmost importance to keep
your nervous system in good con-
dition, as the nerves are the source
of all bodily power. Mrs. Rosa
Bonner, S25 N. 18th ST., Birming-
ham, Ala, says:
II have been suffering with nerv-

MOndeu ReCitieS
Some Real Facts
Wyoming Representative Points Out
Facts About The Administra-
ton; War On Prosperity.

In the brief time which the Dem
cratic gag rule" permitted for the
discussion of the Democratic def
cit tax, Republican congressmen
poured hot shot into the Demo-
cratic ranks. Representative F.
w. MondelI, of Wyoming, said;
1t is not the war in Europe, it
is your war on prosperity. and
your reckless extravagance which
has, in the main created the situa-
ton that has urged your action.
Your revenue bill failed from the
start. Your extravagance accen-
tuated the shortage. The loss OF
customs revenue through decreas-
ed imports, due to war, did not in
the month of August exceed two
and bali millions, and it is not
likely in the future to exceed that
amount per month, or tventy-sev-
en- millions in a year, If the war
lasts that long. The reduction in
the appropriations Tor the current
year, below those Of last year, for
pensions and the Panama Canal
alone amount to almost exactly
this sum. If it were not for the
fact that, in spite Of these decreas-
es in expenditure, the total Of your
appropriations this year is the
greatest in all our history, these
reductions in expenditures would
alone more than balance any loss
of revenue by reason Of the war in
Europe"

Tragedy Over
Love Affair

Jesse Pruett, country teacher,
shot and instantly killed farmer
named Cheek about 6 o'clock Sat-
nrday night, s. miles north Of
Clayton. Pruett gave himself up
and is now in Jail.
Self-defense is claimed by Pruett
as justification for the killing Of
Cheek, but the authorities believe
that jealousy is really at the bot
tom OF the tragedy. 1t is known
that the two men had been paying
ardent attention to the same wom-
an, and it is said that Pruett had
been heard to threaten Cheek.
Pruett is well connected in I'm
ion county.
