It must be apparent to the
most obtuse mind that the mill
ions of dollars which have been
spent annually in Europe by A.
merican tourists will stay in the
United State next year, and the
question naturally arises as to
where travellers who have no
taste for ood-staiped fields OF
battle will, spend their leisure
time and surplus cash. Naturally
the South stands forward with
the strongest claim along tn e
line OF scenic and climatic advar.
tages. Rich in the possession Of
numerous resorts, and boasting
natural beauties which even En-
rope cannot surpass, the South
is the logical point for Ameri-
cans who have not seen half the
wonders OF their own country.
"See America First" is an old
and appealing slogan, and t he
Citizen would suggest that "See
the South" should earry'e ven

ciation and other bodies would
make the "See the South" slogan
heard and needed throughout
the country.
These thoughts are not born
OF idle visions. 1t stands to rea-
son that Che thousands of Amer.
leans who have been accustomed
to travel in Europe will cast q.
bout for substitute fields. AS re.
Gently remarked in these col.
umns, the appeal OF America will
undoubtedly find ready response
even in the lands that are now
passing through the horrors of
war. The wealthy classes of Eu.
rope must eventually turn to a
land where war and it's attendant
disasters are unknown, and we
confidently look forward to the
when all lines OF American life
will receive potent additionsfrom
the ranks Of European refugees.
But to return to our own peo.
pie and our own section. The
South has never faced greater
opportunities than it faces to-
day, ana the results to be at.
tained rest wholly with South.
erners themselves. 1t goes with.
out saying that other sections oi
the country are fully alive to the
present situation, and the South
must be up and doing.

- m Aats saxsa lies.
(BY SHEPHRRD ~. DUGGER.)
In an article by Prot. Roy NJ.
Brown, published in the Watau-
ga Democrat Of Sept, 17th, the
author disclaims the oft ftnpeated
assertion that the people Of this
section are the purest Anglo
Saxon; on earth He Gays. -
believe this old error has gone
long enough 1ncha!lenged "
1amjnot going to dispute the
gentlelnan's argument, but try
to throw more light on the sub
iect. sSai Il. rs s .:ia !: &
The Angles, who came to Brit
tain In the fifth century, we're so
called because they had lived in
a land bounded by angles of the
North and Baltic Seas Itisnow
covered by schleswig sinf Ger
many, which joins Denmark. i
The Saxons came from q re-
gion, q little flrthur south, near
the mouth Of the Elbe. which
empties into the North Sea.
When these two tribes came to
Brittain they were accompanied
by their kindred, the Jutes and
Frisians. The Jutes were inhab-
itants Of Jutland, which is the
peninsula OF Denmark; and the
Frisians were, from the Tristan
Islands off the coast OF Holland.
The Angles. being the largest
tribe, the new country wascalled
England which meant, Land o1
the Angles. Here the reader
must hold in mind that the Jutes
and Sweeds, being separated only
by q narrow channel, were of kin
and also that oil the country be-
tweed the Rhine and the Elbe,
bothIo which empty into the
NORTH Sea, is Old Saxony, and
that the language now spoken in
the high country between these
two rivers, is called "Old Saxon
Now, the fact that a name is
not English does not show that
the person having that name is
not Of Anglo-Saxon blood. Tc
prove this, suppose a. thorough
Anglo-Saxon woman married a
Sweed. The children would be
half Anglo-Saxon, with a Sweed
name, Then let a son: of this
family wed a pure Anglo Saxon
woman, and the children will be
three fourths Anglo-Saxon, ahc
still the Sweed name continues.
From this analogy, wesee that
so far as a name is concerned, il
may be high German, Low Ger
man, Scotch, Irish, or stM some
other name, and vet the person
bearing it can be of nearly pur
Anglo-Saxon blood.
The reader will now take into
consideration the time that e
lapsed between the year 449
when the Angles and Saxons
crossed the channel into Brit
tain, and the year. 1907 when tn
Hrst permanent English settle
ment was established in Ameri
ca. This was 1855 years. Durin!

ssnb1gueHIM Diet 70 CONGRESS.
In nominating our townsman,
Mr.. Frank A. Linney, to oppose
Hon. r, L. Doughton forhis @nt
IN the next Congress, the Repub-
leans in thisdistrict have select
ed about the best man t hey
have to make the race. We must,
not discount the fact that Mr..
Einnsy will make an active and
vigorous campaign, But-shoufd
he be selected to represent this
districtin congress under thepres
ent admirable and beneficial ad-
ministration loi Woodrow VIII,
con. That's the question. Let tus
reason about it.
For many years the Repubi.
cans, and some Democrats, as
well, have argued and shouted
from the stump, that we have
too many lawyers to make our
laws. They wanted to get closer
to the working people. Where
could you get closer to the mass
90 than with a farmer, the bone
and sinew OF the land? Mr.. Dough
ton Is a farmer, and a most sue
cessful one, too, and he is in
close touch with the laboring
classes. He has been tried and is

plish something. lie is already in

ty, whose policy has already been
Of the greatest benefit to the epeo-
ple,. he is better able to get t o r
bis people the things they desire,
than . representative that is OF
the opposite faith, and who will
oppose and hinder and block the
work of the Democratic party,
thereby etarding the policies in
augurated by Mr.. Wilson. Mr..
Linney would be a discordant
note in Congress. He would jar
the harmony of the peaceful work
now going on. 1t is we'll to con-
slider these things before you vote
to make a change, however plau-
sible the appeal to you for a
change may be. Do not destroy
good works; do not vote to tear
down. but to build up, and gain
greater things. It will not bring
you beneficial results to swaI'
horses in the stream, now that
the tide Of Democracy is making
itself felt in this country in legis-
lation that is bringing about re-
al results that are a benefit to
the people and not to the politi-
clans as heretofore, and which
are in evidence all over the land,
under the leadership OF the mas
ter hand and mind in the White
House. We feel sure that you do
not wisheto mar or impede the
generous impulses for the good
Of the masses which now predom-
mate in Congress by cutting out
one Of your most useful, faithful
and able members, who'is work
ing in harmony with great ideas,
and who will eventually accom-

change, or, forsooth, because
something has or has not been
done according to your individ.

fast to that which is good and
will do you service. =

PROHIBITION ELECTIONS

A dispatch from Lexington
says: Shelby, Anderson and Ma
son counties will hold prohibi-
ton elections on September 20
at the same time that such cleo
tons are held in Fayette, Scott,
Bourbon. Clark and Montgom-
cry, and it is reported that a
similar election may also be held
in Franklin county. After it
had been announced by the dis
trict convention of the w. c. Il.
L. that Fayette, Scott, Bourbon,
Clark and Montgomery would
hold prohibition elections Sep
tember %. the "drys" of Shelby
and Anderson asked the State w.
c. Il. L., which has headquarters
in Lexington, to join in the cam
paign and to give such aid as it
can. The application was approx
cd and meanwhile the Mason
county prohibitionists decided on
their initiative to have an election
on the same date and so notified
the State w. c. T. L. officials.
No official notice has been re-
ceived at headquarters of an in
tention on the part of the "drys'
in Franklin county also to put
the liquor question to vote on
September IS, but it is under
stood that the matter is under
consideration by the local-option
leaders of Franklin.

A LETTER

We have received the follow
ing letter with the request that
we publish same:
To the Mt. Sterling Advocate
In last weeks issue of your
valuable paper, you published a
condensed statement of the law
applicable to motor vehicles,
That law was adopted last
March, became effective on the
roth day of June; and such of
the public as that law applies
to have had ample time to learn
its provisions even before the
publication by you; and it was
certainly the duty of the Peace
Officers of the City and County
to be acquainted with its provi-
SionS. but il seems for some
reason that the Peace Officers
stand around on the streets and
see the law violated from carly
morning until late at night al
most in every particular, and
not a single arrest has been
made by any officer. 1t is GER
tainly not the duty of private
citizens, (while they may do it),
to swear out warrants for viola
tons of the law. but it is certain
ly the duty OF the grand-jury to
investigate every violation of
the law, whether it be for fail
ure to enforce the law or a vio-
lation in any other way, and it
is made the duty of every Peace
Officer to see that no law is
violated in his presence.
1t will be the duty of the next
grand-jury to investigate that
matter and if any officer has
failed to perform his duty in that
respect as to violations of the
law applicable to motor vehicles,
or in any other way, it is the
duty OF the grand-jury to indict
that officer for misfeasance in
office; and it is to be hoped that
from this time on that the Peace
Officers will perform their duty
in such a way that the grand
Jury will not be called upon to
investigate their action.
