CHESTNUT HUNTING.

Sometime last week, Hoyt Campbell or
gained hack party to go chestnut hunting
and fixed Sunday as the day and Appalachia
as the place. He also fixed the hour of
leaving at a. m. sharp and impressed it
upon the minds of all that this didn't mean
o'clock
This, of course, was all right, but the
fact of the matter was that Z clock found
Hoyt in bed and in his hurry to get away
he failed to comb his hair and, also missed
his breakfast
There we're four couples in this merry
crowd and the Young ladies had studied
cook books for week in trying to con-
jure up good things to take along. This
is what excited the envy of DIR. Roberts,
Fate Morris, and Bob Hill, for they organized
gang and went down on the tram for the
express purpose of appropriating all the
eatables in sight.
They were foiled in this attempt, but
they made several more, between Ap-
palachia and Ducktown, to get what had
been saved for supper. Logs we're put in
the road, gates were fastened, and other
means were resorted to, but DIR. Roberts
succeeded in carrying off box of dirty
dishes.
Some of the party that went up on the
train came back with Mrs Brock in her
auto, which came behind the hack; when a
stop was made to remove Instructions the
hack would be beseiged by very hungry
lot of young men, as they had no dinner,
and failed to get the eats they went after.
We heard one boy say that that was the
most delicious candy he had ever tasted.
What the boys must have missed by
only getting the dishes!
The following were in the party:
Missas. Messrs.
Stella Combell, W. Whitfield,
Pauline Kimsey, Hoyt Cambell,
Jessie Kyle, Julius Taylor,
Nora Brooks, Thos. DeLozier.

The Presidents Letter.
September 4. 1914.
My Dear Mr.. Doremus: I have read
your letter of September 1 with a keen
appreciation of it's Importance. 1t ap-
peals to me as the leader of the party
now in power with peculiar force and
responsiveness. The close of very
extraordinary session of Congress is
at hand, which has, 1 venture to say,
been more fruitful in important legis-
lation of permanent usefulness to the
country than any session of Congress
within the memory Of the active pub
lie men of our generation. A great
constructive program has been carried
through for which the country has
through with the approval and sup
port of judicious men of all parties;
and we have abundant reason to con-
graduate ourselves upon the record
that has been made during the busy
seventeen months we have devoted to
our great legislative task. Certainly,
in ordinary circumstances. if we were
free to disengage ourselves for the
purpose, we would be warranted in
now directing our energies to a great
campaign in support of an appeal to
the country to give US the encourage
ment of its Endorsement at the autumn
elections.
I've could go to the country with
very sincere appeal in which there
need be no pretense Or boast of any
kind, but a plain statement of things
actually accomplished which ought to
be and / think would be entirely con-
vincing. 1t is a record which shows
US at peace with all the world; the
questions which plagued business with
doubt and uncertainty and irresponsi-
Bile criticism out of the way. thought
fully settled and disposed of; the APP
parent antagonism between govern
ment and business cleared away
and brought to an end with the plain
reckoning accomplished; the path for
sure-footed adjustment clear ahead of
US, prosperity certain to come by
means which all can approve and ap-
plaud.

A Two-Fold Responsibility.

I'm the present emergency / am keenly
aware of the twofold responsibility I
am called upon to discharge; the re-
sponsibility which devolves upon me as
President of the United States and the
responsibility under which I am laid as
leader of great political party. OF
course, the whole country will expect Of
me and my own conscience will exact OF
me that 1 think first of my duties as
President. responsible for exercising so
far as L have the ability a. constant
guidance in the affairs of the country,
both domestic and foreign. The labors
Of Congress have natural and custo-
mary limit: the work of the houses can
be and will be finished; Congress can
adjourn But the President cannot. es-
pecially in times like these, turn away
from his official work even for a little
while. Too much depends upon his
keeping all the threads of what is &C.
curing in his hands.
Il have, therefore. reached the con-
clusion that I cannot in any ordinary
sense take an active part in the ap-
preaching campaign: that must remain
here to attend to the serious work sure
to fill the months Immediately before US
months that will carry with them obi
cations, no doubt, of the most ire
mendous sort. / know that you will
feel similarly about your own obliga-
tons: that members of Congress-, too.
without distinction as to party aff1la-
lions. will feel that they must remain to
do their work of necessary and pressing
service and bring it to a successful con-
clusion.

More Work to Be Done.

Moreover. there is a program of an
other kind ahead of us to which it is
inspiriting to look forward "a pro-
gram free from debate except as to the
best means by which to accomplish
what all desire. The great questions
Immediately ahead of us are the build
ing up of our merchant marine with
all that that means in the develop
ment and diversiication of our foreign
commerce and the systematic conser-
walton and economic use of our ma
tional resources. subjects much talked
about, but little acted upon. There are
other great pieces of constructive
legislation waiting to be done to which
we could turn without any controversy
except, as l have said, as to the best
ways of doing them.
Il believe that ways can be found to
do these things readily enough If the
country will give us its generous sup
port and trust us to do them; and 1t
would have been a genuine pleasure to
me to ask to be given again colleagues
such as 1 have had in the two houses
Of Congress during the present memo
rable session. 1 trust that there will be
many occasions upon which I may have
the privilege Of calling the attention
of my fellow-countrymen to the fine
and unselfish service which has been
rendered them by their present repre-
sentatives. ready at all times to re-
spond to any appeal which spoke con-
vincingly of the public welfare.
But in view of the unlooked-for
international situation our duty has
taken on an unexpected aspect. Every
patriotic man ought now to stay on
his job until the crisis is passed. and
ought to stay where his job can best
be done We must do whatever is
necessary and forego whatever is
necessary to keep US in close and act

possible way the stress and strain put
upon our people during the continu-

BY using public buildings for the
holding of elections il is estimated That
the City of New York saves Sl2o,ooo a
year. This money is now paid out FOR
the rental of polling laces, and many
of the places, rented are unsulted for
elections.
At the recent municipal election in
Chicago seventy schools were utilized
as polling places. In Boston, Milwaukee,
Los Angeles and a number OF smaller
cities the public buildings, including
schools, are used for this purpose. The
question has been agitated in New
York and the use of the schoolhouses
has been favored by the Board OF tdu-
cation, the Board of elections and by
number of civic organizations. "A bill
was offered in the recent New YORK
Legislature empowering the Board OF
Elections TO designate schoolhouses ano
other public buildings as polling places.
The measure was passed in the Senate,
but was voted down in the House.
New York City has $40 schoolhouses
and these, it is stated, would accom-
MEDIATE LAO polling places. In the
1913 elections the number of voting
places was l,780. Those who advocate
the use of public buildings say the bal
ance OF $40 could be located in librar-
les, armories, fire engine houses, police
stations and, if necessary, in street
cleaning buildings of which there are
altogether 554. This would enable
New York to hold her elections with
practically no expense for rentals
Elections are public business and
therefore, may be held appropriately
in public buildings. In all cities the
location of polling places is more or
less of a problem. The polling booths
often are set up 10 locations which
have not one feature to commend them
for election purposes. The use OF pub,
lie buildings at least would add some
dignity 10 elections which they canno,
possess when held in shops and stables
