The Journey of Life-Every
Woman Should Live Her
Own Existence and Fill Her
Own Sphere as Wisely as She
Knows How.
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX

LIFTs JOURNEY.
4 We speed out Of youths sunny
n The track seems to shine in the
/ light,
But 1t suddenly shoots over chasrns
Or sinks into tunnels of night.
And the hearts that were brave in the
morning
Are filled with repining and fears
AS they pause at the City of Sorrow
Or pass through the Valley Of Tears.
But the road Of this perilous journey
The hand OF the Master has made:
With all It's discomforts and dangers,
We need not be sad or afraid.
Paths leading from light into dark
Ways plunging from gloom to de-
spair.
Wind out through the tunnels Of mid
night
To fields that are blooming and fair.
Though the rocks and the shadows
surround us,
Though we catch not one CLEAN Of
the day,
..bove us fair cities are laughing,
And dipping white feet in some bay.
/ And always, eternal, forever,
Down over the hills In the West,
The last final end of our journey,
There lies the Great City of Rest.
Tis the Grand Central point Of all
railways,
! All roads unite here when they end;
IT,, the final resort of all tourists,
All rival lines meet here and blend.
All tickets, all mile-books, all passes,
If stolen or begged for or bought,
On whatever road or division,
Will bring you at last to this spot.
II you pause at the City of Trouble,
Or wait In the Valley Of Tears,
Be patient, the train will move on
i ward
And rush down the track Of the
years.
Whatever the place Is you seek for,
| Whatever your game or your quest,
You shall come ct the last with re-
joicing
To the beautiful City Of Rest.
You shall store all your baggage Of
worries,
You shall feel perfect peace In this
realm,
You shall sail with old friends on fair
waters,
With Joy and delight at the helm.
You shall wander in cool, fragrant
gardens
With those who have loved you the
best,
And the hopes that were lost In life's
journey
You shall find in the City of Rest.

OPENING SPEECH OF GENERAL RYE
STRUCK TERROR TO REPUBLICANS

doubtful or doleful note. The
spirit of confidence and optimism
was breathed from every utter
ance and the message he gave
out was one of good cheer to a
long suffering people. He de-
clared that he had always fav-
ored and now favors with all his
heart prohibition and law en-
forcement. He subscribes to
every law on the statute books
appertaining to both a n d
pledged his administrations best
efforts thereto.
Mr.. Ry', explained thoroughly
and convincingly his attitude on
prohibition in the past. He had
spoken and voted for the pro-
posed amendment to the Consti-
tuition in 1887 and had never
weakened in his belief in prohi-
bition's final triumph. His ad-
vocacy had not, however, led
him to desert in any election
the democratic party or its can
didates. He believed the issue
could best be settled through
that party which had bravely
met and satisfactorily settled
every political issue since the
war.
He voted against Hooper be-
cause the latter was a republican
soldier of fortune whom he did
not believe to be necessary to
the States welfare. He voted
for Bob Taylor and for Benton
McMillin and believes today that
The Parisian. (Paris, Tenn.) 1907-1962, 1914-09-25

the election of either would have
been a favorable response to the
popular demand for general pro
hibition throughout the State;
and that under them the State
would have been spared the ex-
travagances, the scandals, the
factional disruptions and the
general Generalization of condi-
tions which the Hooper admins
trations have entailed.
Gen. Rye's remarks were to
the point and earnestly so. His
discussion of other matters, good
roads, schools, pensions for old
soldiers, labor conditions and de-
mands, the States debt, ex-
travagance, ETC., was forceful
and convincing. Especially elo-
quent was his peroration with
it's pleas for the endorsement of
President Wilson and for peace
in Tennessee.
The speech established the
certainty that the democrats of
the State had been peculiarly
fortunate in their selection of a
standard bearer. He has aroused
and enthused his followers and
there seems no doubt that he
will poll a heavy votein Novem
ber. Let the people do their
part in the manifestation of ap-
proval at the various speaking
places. Let them turn out in
large numbers and give strength
to his courage and cheer to his
efforts.

FROM THE JAIL RECORD
. Of OUR GOOD Ex-SHER|FF

From the prison rec ords of the
late Sheriff R. H. Compton we
gather the startling information
that during his term of Office, six
years, the County Jail has been
occupied by 793 unfortunate law
breakers. Of this number a
majority of them were negroes,
and the crimes for which they
were incarcerated range from
n-hopping to cold-blooded
murder.
Ex-Sheriff Compton It 0 0 k
charge of the county bastile on
the first Monday in Sept, 1908,
shortly after the comple elton of
the new Jail. But in spite OF
his constant watchfuln|ess and
vigilance there have been a num-
ber of deliveries during his
term for none of which can he
be held responsible. He has
made a dutiful, obbging and eff.
cient sheriff, who has made
rather than lost friends while, in
the performance of his duties.
There is nothing within the
gift of the people of Henry coun-
ty too good for Bob Compton,
and they will be only to glad tc
honor him with almost any Of
flee for which he might ask ir
the future.

Gen. Rye, democratic nominee
for Governor of Tennessee, has
set forth on his speaking tour of
the State. In view of what he
stands for, of his ability, char
acter, patriotism and statesman
ship, as the one peculiarly
equipped man of the hour to
save Tennessee from an odious
conspiracy of political traitors
and self seekers, the people of
the State should make his timer
ary a triumphal march through
the State.
Tennessee needs less politics
and more business; Rye will
furnish the relief. Tennessee
needs a rest from the petty
chickering's, the ugly factionalism
and the self seeking grouches;
Rye alone can assure so happy a
elimination of the rabid disor-
ders that for four years have
affected the State.
His reception at his old home
town, Camden, last Thursday,
was a splendid ovation. Then
and there his old associates,
those who had known him from
birth or early boyhood, gave him
an earnest expression of their
approval and confidence. He is
prophet honored amongst his
own people,

polished orator. He sounded no

SCHOOL OPENS;

The Puryear Graded School
opened Tuesday morning with a
most flattering outlook for a sue
cessful years work. Nearly 200
students, many from other sec
tions, were enrolled.
The exercises were opened with
an able address by Louis Spencer
Daniel, Secretary of the Paris
Business Mems Club, followed
by an appropriate address from
County Superintendent Joe Rou-
ton, Prof. R. H. White, Esq.
John G. Morris, N. L. Valentine
and others. Splendid talks were
made by Principal ]. G. Sullivan
and his excellent assistants,
Misses Sallie Strong and Anna B.
Hill.
A large audience was present
at the opening exercises COM
posed of patrons and visitors and
the work started off amid the
intense interest and enthusiasm.
The faculty is composed of
strong and experienced instruc-
tors and the work in the various
departments will be thorough.

TRAVELLING MEN ARE
WH0OP|N' IT UP FOR RYE

Harvey H. Hogg, one of the
best known statesmen in Tennes-
see and a leader in all the organ
izations of the men on the road,
passed through Camden last Sun
day night. Mr.. Hogg is strong
supporter of Tom G. Rye. He
declared that more than three
fourths of the travelling men were
for Mr.. Rye, campaigning for
him and spending their money
in the interest of his race. His
vigorous statement supports the
assertion of w. M. Kincannon,
one of our Camden statesmen,
who spoke recently before the
Rye club here. The influence
and support of these travelling
statesmen, traversing every por-
tion of Tennessee, indicates that
Tom Rye is going to win this
campaign. Mr.. Hogg said that
he was in East Tennessee last
week when he noticed the win
dow of a store in a small town
decorated with Tom Rye's pict-
ure and wreathes of ryestraw.
This merchant did not handle
anything in my line," Mr.. Hogg
related. but went in and told
him I wanted to shake his hand.
We are friends of Tom Rye and
we are observant of the courte-
Isles shown to him. Camden

letters which have been sent out
to parties who are supposed tc

it is well enough for the true and
