Thetus w. Sims.


An article from Savoyard in the Nash
willie Banner can be seen in this week s
paper concerning the membership in
Congress and the men worth while, and
among these extensive reference is made
TO the service Of Thetus w. Sims, of the
Eighth Congressional District Of Ten
nessee. 1t is understood that Mr.. Sims
has sumo very strong opposition down
ID his district this year. but whatever
the claims and the merits OF this oppo-
sition, it would stili be calamity should
Mr.. Sims be defeated. The worthy
Congressman from the Eighth Is not
only representative from his district,
but he il truly representative from tho
State Of Tennessee and for the people OF
the entire Union. La other words he is
national figure 10 Congress. He is a
representative Of the people. He is
honest to the core and answering 10 his
convictions Of duty.
Some time back mfr. Sims took the
floor in opposition 10 measure that
seemed like small matter, but the like
OF which is eating its way like a cancer
ia our body polite. This was an APP
preparation Of $40. 900 year for auto
-.
mobiles for the President. AS a single
item, it seemed OF no great importance,
but when it Is understood that the Pres
ident OF the United States is provided
with salary OF SIS. 900 4 year, and adj
,ditional sums amounting altogether to
hundreds Of thousands for the various
branches Of his domestic household,
railroad expense, etc, to citizen OF the
provincial commonwealth the automo-
bile matter became much more con-
siderable question. Too many Con-
gressmen are unconcerned about the
waste in our public treasury. the OK
travagance, the corruption, and these
things grow until they breed all manner
81 scandal. The President Of repub-
lie does not need half million year.
The President OF Democracy should
not have it, il any value at oil is placed
upon the vital principles Of Democracy.
And then in the fight for the real
national issues, the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the repeal Of the ex-
emption clause Of the Panama canal act
Mr. Sims proved himself unquestion-
ably leader OF American ideals and Of
the National Democracy.
Ii would be no reflection whatever on
any opponent, however great and good
lie may be, TO say that Mr. Sims de-
feat for Congress would be misfortune
10 the Democratic party to the State
and to the United States.

DEATH KNELL RECALL
DOCKET COURT APPEALS
Presiding Justice Wilson Issues
Strict Orders for Filing Cases.


The recall docket 10 the Court Of Civil
Appeals is thing OF the past now.
Presiding Justice S. F Wilson OF the
appellate body sounded the death kneIl
in official orders recently issued, and
hereafter lawyers who have been a bit
derelict in filing their civil appeal cases
must take on new clip or get left in
the lurch.
Following is the official order received
yesterday by Supreme Court and Appel
late Court Clerk I. B. Carroll:
Hon. t. B. Carroll, Clerk Of Supreme
and Court Of Civil Appeals, Jackson,
Tenn.
Dear Sir.
BY direction Of the members OF the
Court Of Civil Appeals, ] write this, to
notify you, and through you, the MEM
bers of the bar practicing before the
court, that the court will not, hereafter,
hear cases filed after the converting Of
the court, under the law, in any grand
division OF the State.
We would be pleased If you would
have this information published in the
daily press Of Jackson and Memphis
and give it such further circulation
among the profession as is agreeable and
convenient to you.
1--WE find it absolutely necessary to do
away with what in our court is called
the recall docket, containing cases filed
after the court convenes, because it has
resulted in most instances in the heavy
and important cases being on said re-
call docket and coming before us just
before the close Of term, when it is inn
possible for us, for want OF time to dis
pose OF them after devoting to them
such investigation as their Importance
demands. In addition, the rule has re-
suited in frequently bringing before us
an amount OF business that is utterly
impossible for us to dispose OF during
the term at which such business comes
before us. Respectfully,
(signed) IS. F. WILSON.

The Blue-Back SpeIler

The State Of Georgia has progressed
backward, but good many people will
think that she has done we'll and wisely
in returning to the dear old things OF

Legislature restoring the old blue-back

that State. An amendment provides
that the pictures, Stories philosophy Of
the old book are also to be restored. 1t

back speller complete; and in spite Of
all the Improvements and inventions Of
later years, it is not probable that any
book yet written has proven as service
able to school children as the blne-back
speIler OF our forbears. 1t is not posi-
BILE that the book can be copyrighted at
this day, or that the book trust can
gobblc it up. Any State may print
this book at cost, and furnish it to the
pupils in the public schools Tor q lew
cents. Come to think Of It, there never
has been valid reason given why the
McGuffey books and Webster's speller
we're supplanted BY more modern pub
LEGATIONS. The book trust is continue
ally introducing new publications and
forcing them upon the public school
system OF the country. thus levying an
enormous tax, and one that il is difficult
10 bear, upon the parents OF the school
children. II may be considered old
fashioned to return to the old ways and
methods Of doing things, but It cannot

SPIRIT OF BELGIANS Is
UNBR0KEN BY SMELLING
German HOwitzers Inhict Terrible
Damage i'm Antwerp But Gar
riSOn Holds.

GHENT, Belgium, Oct. AT 10
o'clock Thursday morning German
shells were falling thickly in Ant
werp. The besiegers were using their
16-inch hOwitzers with terrible effect
but the spirits of the Belgians was
unbroken. The burgomaster declared
ne intended TO support the military
resistance TO the last.
According 10 an officer who arrived
from Antwerp today the cathedral
was being bombarded when he left
the city and fire had broken out in
many places. He said that whole
houses had been reduced to ruins. AT
II o'clock last night this official said
that a Zeppelin dropped a bomb on
the law courts. The airship was sub
jected TO a terrific fire and was GER
tainly hit, he declared, but it managed
TO get away.
The scene in Antwerp when the
bombardment began early Thursday
morning was terrible. The darkness
was relieved only by flashes from
searchlights and exploding shells.
Thousands fed as soon as daylight
came and soon the roads to the west
were hOpelessly cOngested.
1t was apparent that the Germans
were making no efforts to destroy the
city itself but their shells neverth eless
came within the walls. This was par
ticularly so in the case OF the guns of
smaller calibre. The big siege guns
were trained upon the inner forts and
the men operating them showed good
craftsmanship.
