The 33rd Annual Convention OF
the State w, G. T. U. will be held
at Knoxville Oct. 2nd to 9th. A
large attendance of w. G. T. u.
workers from all over the state is
expected. Special railroad rates
from Maryville will be granted, and
it is hoped that everv one interested
in the cause of temperance will
plan to attend this convention for
at least one day.
Gov. Hooper in his speech last
week in Memphis said:
There is one question which
will not go down in Tennessee until
it is settled and settled right. That
is the question of whether the
criminal laws of the state shall be
respected and enforced or whether
they shall be nulll1ed and trampled
under foot by the forces of organized
vice and corrupt politics. The peo-
pie of Tennessee, speaking through
majority of their Legislative repre-
sentatives in 1909. said that the
licensed saloon must go. The
strongest advocates of the open sa.
loon rest their case solely on the
ground that the saloon is a necessary
evil. This question is being fought
out all over this nation and all oyel
the world. If it were not for the
immense wealth derived from the
liquor traffic, it would be universally
destroyed in less than twelve months
but this fact makes it powerful
factor in the control of polite

TWENTIETH-C ENTURY
SELF CULTURE CLUB

On Monday afternoon, at the
home of Mrs. E. E. Hunter, Jr., on
Main St., Mrs. A. Coleburn, repre-
sentative of the Twentieth Century
Self-Culture Club, with head-quar-
ters in Washington, D. c. organized
an auxiliary club for the Mothers
and teachers of Maryville, with
about twenty ladies as charter
members.
Mrs. Coleburn opened the meet
ing with a very inspiring and in
structive paper, setting forth the
aims and purposes of the club-work,
The club programs are prepared by
Mrs. Edwin r. Weeks, of the Ma
tional Congress of Mothers and the
text-work is prepared by Andrew
Sloan Draper with contributions by
the best-known authorities, along
their respective lines, in our coun-
trv. The plan of the work is to cor
relate the Club-work with home
study, both for parents and child
rem, and to bring about more help
full cooperation between the home
and school. The purity of the home
life, the training of the young lives
entrusted to our care and the con-
scientious, faithful and intelligent
guidance of the physical, mental
and moral natures of the child
were dwelt upon with telling force,
Mrs. w. A. McTeer was elected
president; Mrs. Jos. Burger, Vice
president; Mrs. F. L. Profitt re-
cording secretary and Mrs. John
Walker, corresponding secretary.
The meetings are to be held the
first Monday of every month at
two-thirty o'clock at the Bank of
Maryville.
The members of the Club are very
enthusiastic in their praises of the
text-work, the club programs ard
guides to the study-course, and feel
that great good will result to our
community from the pursuit of this
work and from the earnest purpose
which they feel, to uplift and en-
noble our young people in every
phase of their lives.

next annual meeting of the stock
holders of Southern Railway, to be
held at the principal office of the
Company in the Times Dispatch
building in Richmond on October
18th at 10 a. III. will mark new
Ella in the history of the Company
as it will be the first meeting at
which the 1900 stockholders have
had the opportunity to vote directly
the voting trust, in existence since
the organization of the Company in
1894, now being in process of dis
solution.
AN effort will be made to make
of this meeting more than the con
ventional routine which current
criticism finds to be characteristic
of the meetings of the stockholders
of American railway companies, "
says President Fairfax Harrison in
a letter addressed to all stockholders,
and the cooperation of the stock
holders is necessary to that end
The principal officers will be in at
tendance to answer questions direct
ed to the policy of the management
or to any detail of its business, an
the report of the operations dnrinl
the past year will be before thu
stockholders for discussion"
The principal business to be trans
acted will be the election of fly
directors, four to fill vacancies duo
the expiration of terms of director
of the 1914 class, among then
Messrs Finley and Fahnstock whC
have died during the past year, an(
one to fill a vacancy in the 1915
class due to resignation.
1t is expected that this meeting
will be largely attended and tina
the gathering of the stockholders o

become an annual event of grea

that most sacred of all cubs,
"Mothers Club" The object and
aim of these clubs is to carry that
Mother-love and Mother thought in
to all that concerns or touches
childhood in home, school, church or
State. To raise the Standards OF
Home-life. To develop wiser, better
trained parenthood. To bring into
closer relation the home and school
that the parent and teacher may CO.
operate intelligently in the educa-
ton of the child.
In this course of study will be
taken up the very best methods OF
developing all sides of child's life

It's moral, mental and physical
natures are considered from the
day of birth, on throughout its
school-life, into the days when it
! shall take up the burden that now
rests upon the mothers, who are
showing so much interest IN the
childs welfare all over this broad
land of ours.
This course lays great stress on
the early training of the child S
life, as all authorities on this sub
iect agree, that a child's disposition
is formed by the time it is four,
its grasp on Christianity, Truth
and imagination by the time it is
seven. and by the time it is ten

blished in it's young life, the devel-

men and women then begin.
Whatever helps to conquer lgno-
rance and weakness, and meet earn
estly and ioyfully, the glorious re-
sponsibility of motherhood, Is a
| benefit to all woman-kind and to the
whole human race.
We want to promote high ideals
of marriage and the maintenance
of its sacredness and permanince.

Gibbs and flows at various points
along the extended front.
., 1t is altogether proper that we
should feel an exalted sense of pride
in the achievements of the pioneers
and builders of Tennessee, and that
we should cherish the traditions
handed to Us from the generations
gone before. 1t is much more i'm
portant, however. that we should
realize the responsibilities of the
present hour. Let. us cancel the
obligation we owe to those who
builded for us, by building strongly
and safely for those to come after
us.
In my minds eye | can behold q
generation of Tennesseans that never
saw a saloon. l can see the strong,
sober men engaged in productive
labor. lean see the peaceful, happy
faces of women no longer robbed
and widowed by the curse of the
ages. | can hear the joyous shouts
of little children. unpipched by
want and unabashed by fear. From
some corner of the universe we can
then thank God that we helped to
bring these things to pass. and no.
body will ask what party label We
wore when we did it. ."

LANGE'S MODEL SHOWS

The above amusement enterprise
opened to a good-sized crowd on
Monday night, on Goddard's Tot,
near the Court House. Although
all attractions were not quite ready,
enough was going on to amuse and
entertain those that we"a present
An eight piece uniformed band,
which by the way iso ne of the best
for it's size, seen here, rendered de-
lightful music ard the young man
who "sings to beat the band" kept
the crowd in a good Eamor, by sing
ing all the latest 3ong successes.
A representative of the Times
paid the various attractions a visit,
chief among which is the motor

Gle riders race on the sides of an
, almost perpendicular wall, which is
claimed to be on an angle of rs de-
gress and is said to be ten degrees
sleeper than any similar track.
Daredevil Kelly is the "star" rider
and the way that young man dips
and dives on his machine up and
down the sides of the wall is enough
to make the spectators wonder
The finish of the program is Il

track at once and the same time

and yell from beginning to end.

On Tuesday night the tent was

twins, and concluded with an after
piece called Justice in Dark

dealt out justice was a caution
On Friday night they will feature

assured by the management that
there is nothing vulgar or sugges-

claim the attention of old and
young, and is getting its share OF
the business.
There are several minor conces-

games, glass wheels and the like
including novelty man with his
