by congress for individual deeds of dar.
ing In the field. The intrinsic value
of any of these badges is about one
cent, and yet for the privilege of wear
ing them soldiers seem always ready
to tread Gray's paths of glory
The French decoration was first
granted under Napoleon in the early
part of the present century; the Vic.
toria Cross was instituted during the
Crimean war and the American medal
of honor was first struck off to reward
acts of heroism performed during the
Civil war. The French cross may be
won by civilians; the English and
American crosses are pinned only upon
the breasts of soldiers and sailors. In
the armies Of all three nations officer
and private, peasant and prince, have
equal chances Of wearing that which
nothing but attested bravery can buy.
The first Victoria Cross granted for
bravery in the South African war was
given to Col. Ian Hamilton of the Cor
don Highlanders for conspicuous gal
lantry at the battle of Elandslaagte.
A perusal of the Gazette list which
tells something of the deeds for which
the Victoria Cross has been awarded
shows that fully one-half of the most
striking exhibitions of heroism have

AFTER LIQUOR SELLERS.
Lake Countians Form Law and Order
League.

Tiptonville.-A law and order league
was organized at the courthouse in
this city, with the following elected as
officers: ]. R. Lambert, president; ].
H. Smith, vice-president; Rev. Fred
Peoples, vice-president, and Hale Tip
ton, secretary and treasurer. Several
speeches were made and much enthu-
siasm was shown. The object of the
league is to try and suppress the IL
legal sale of liquors in Lake county,
which has been going on on such a
large scale. Attorney General Cald-
well is heartily indorsing the proce-
dures of the league and Attorney Sam
Williams of Dyersburg has been en-
pioyed to aid local attorneys in prose-
cutting the liquor violators. The blind
tigers are on standstill at present,
as recent raid has been tipped off
and they are apparently closed.

ROAD SEEKS INCREASE.
NJ, c. G. St. /. Makes Claim for
Mail Service.

MAIL service.
notwithstanding that it is en-
titled to the five per cent increase in
compensation for railway mail serv-
ice on all mail routes because of the
increased volume of mail carried by
parcel post service, the Nashville,
Chattanooga & st. Louis Railroad has
filed petition with the federal court
of claims asking SAG, 1924, said to be
due because of alleged underpayments
for such service.
The railroad says that five per cent
increase has been authorized from
Coalmont to Tracy City, seven miles,
and from Sparta to Bon Air, eight
miles, both routes with only a few
pounds of parcel post mail daily. The
contention of the railway is that IL
the advance is allowed on some
routes, even though they be small, it
should be allowed on the larger
routes, which, the railway says, bear
the real burden of the increasing vol

development of the parcel post sys-

PROVED HIMSELF A DIPLOMAT
Wise MIR. Young Husband Escaped
Palms Of Indigestion Without Hurt
Ing the WIfe's Feelings.

The conversation having turned to
culinary spasms, Congressman Otis
Wingo Of Arkansas was reminded Of
Mrs. Smiths struggle with the cook
book.
Mrs. Smith was young and inexperi-
enced, the congressman said, but she
was ambitious. So one afternoon she
waded deep into the cook book and
dug out an angel cake which she
placed before the old man at the eve
ming meal.
What's the matter with the angel
cake, Harry" asked WHEY, disappoint-
edly, on noticing that he studiously
avoided 1t. isn't it good enough?"
1T isn't that, DEAR" gently re-
sponded the old man. I'm afraid that
am not good enough"
Good enough for what?" queried
little wiley, with puzzled expression.
Good enough to become an angel,
sweetheart" softly answered hubby

MOBILIZE THEIR FORCES.
Hooper and Rye Prepare for Hot
Campaign.

S@'HPas6h.
Nashville Ben w. Hooper and
Gen. Thomas C. Rye. rival candidates
for governor of Tennessee, are mobil,
izing their forces preparatory to the
opening of their respective campaigns
next month.
Porter Dunlap, vice-chairman of the
regular" state committee, when ask.
ed as to the plans Of Gen. Rye, said !.
while the plans have not been def
nitely concluded, 1t is probable that
Gen. Rye will open his campaign about
the LIST of September. He will speak
first either at Paris, in Henry county,
his present home. or at Camden, Ben
ton county, which was his former
home"
Further than to say that he would
open his campaign In Memphis, Gov.
Hooper has made no campaign an
nouncements, but it is understood that
this will occur some time between Sep
TENDER l and 15.
State headquarters for Gen. Rye will
DC opened at the Maxwell house early
next week. At present the regulars"
are holding forth in Judge Hills rooms
on the parlor floor of the Maxwell.
The space there is very limited, how.
ever, and the state fight will be waged
from other rooms in the Maxwell, prob
ably in the ones used by Gov. McMillin
two years ago.
That the campaign will be warm
one is certain, for campaigns in Ten.
nessee are always warm ones. Gov.
Hooper's ability on the stump has al
ready been tested, and while Mr.. Rye
is an unknown quantity on the stump,
his friends say that he is no pigmy
when 1t comes to dishing out oratory.

bore no insignia of rank. One English
publication states that with perhaps
one exception the bravest thing ever
done by British soldier was the ACT
of drummer boy.
That drummer boy, If living, Is now

81 years of that time he has been wear

the right to write V. G. after his name.
This boy in the year 1857, amid show.
er of shot and shells, fastened bags
of gunpowder on the gates OF Delhi
He carried death in his arms that day
and met it in other forms all along his
way. Others helped him and were
killed; he lived and wore the cross.
1t was another British drummer boy
who, while acting as field bugler for

LIQUID POISON.

LIQUID POISON.
Beer, sometimes referred to as III
guild bread" is rather, according to
the verdict of physicians and scien-
lists liquid poison. Dr. Hugo Hoppe,
the famous nerve specialist of Konigs-
berg, Germany, says: Because the
symptoms of chronic alcoholism ap-
pear more slowly and are less readily
observable In the heavy beer driAker
than In the whisky drinker, the former
is more frequently met than the lat
ter. But thousands and tens Of thou
sands of men who take their daily
pint are rendered stupid, silly and dis
solute by beer. Beer alcoholism in
general lowers the resistance of the
body to all diseases by injuring most
of the organs, and herein lies the
chief danger In the general wide
spread use of beer. The death from
liver diseases among brewers in Eng
land is more than double that In all
other occupations"

A feature of the London season is
the revival in dancing; people are now
