NEW BAPTIST CHURCH
AT KINGSPORT. TENN,

Kingsport. Tenn, Sept. 15.-The
Kingsport High School began Sept
Is, headed by most excellent facul-
ty, and promises to have a very sue
cessful session.
The site for the new Baptist
church has been selected at the cor
ner of Sullivan and Boone streets,
and excavations are being made for
the foundation of the new building,
which is to be of brick and Tennes-
see marble. Directly across the
street stands the monument erected
by the Daughters Of the American
Revolution in memory of Daniel
Boone, and to mark a favorite camp
ing spot of the brave pioneer as he
passed from the Blue Ridge to the
Cumberlands.
Peter Cartright preached near the
same spot to the settlers long ago
and bloody battle was fought with
the Cherokee Indians not far from
the church site. Historically, the lo-
cation of the new building is well
chosen.

MR.. LANDIS KILLED
AT JONESyILLE

A message was received here Mon
day afternoon telling of the killing
of w. B. Landis at Jonesville, Va,
Monday about noon. The message
stated that Mr.. Landis, who was
town marshal, was shot and killed
by Charles Hines, whom he had ar
rested for drunkenness and who he
had turned loose upon the latter's
promise to go home and be quiet. 1t
is stated that the town marshal was
not aware that Hines was hunting
for aim but that he was shot to
death by Hines before he could pro-
tect himself
Following Hines arrest he went
to his home, and armed himself and
hunted Mr.. Landis and shot him to
death.
Mr.. Lands is the father of Mrs.
George Hyder and Miss Lucille Lam
dis of this city and was prominent
citizen of his town. He is survived
by his wife and six children. The
funeral will be held at Jonesville.
No further details of the shooting
have been received here. Mrs. Hy-
der and Miss Lands left Monday af-
eernoon for Jonesville.

have had recently in exchange.
Bankers Were Shocked.
The outstanding feature of the sit
uation that overshadowed by its tre-
mendous Importance everything else
that has influenced the foreign eX-
change rates since their recent slump
began, was the reported plan of the
commission to establish its hopedfor
credit here without offering any col
lateral. Some financiers who called
on the commission with vague or pro-
nounced ideas that Britain and
France would not only give then
notes for whatever sum they would
borrow, but would put up huge col
lateral, dollar for dollar for the loan
composed of American securities
were startled by the radical proposal
that the money should be borrowed
without collateral.
Other flnanciers were more than
startled. The novelty of the plan is
said to have so taken them by sur
prise and so quickly shattered theil
idea of basing the proposed loan or
American collateral as to have re-
auired time for consideration before
they could express their views 9th
ers were prepared for the proposal.
These bankers. rejecting the re
ported views of the commission, poin
ted out that the entire credit of botf
| Great Britain and France would b'
back of the bonds given for the loan
a credit that for generations past ha!
been regarded as good as gold. Will
the governments of both nations
standing back of the bonds, why, i
was asked, should there be acquired
additional security?
1t is to be loan without collatera
of any sort or no loan at all-that il

ciers visiting it have been able t.

UNPREPAREDNESS OF
UNITED STATES Is AN
INVITATION FOR ATTACK

The blinded false feeling of securi
ty in America in it's unpreparedness
for war is more dangerous than hos
tile troops. 1t is an invitation for at
tack. Present day events and disclO-
sures portend the time is approaching
hat an attack will be made, if not al
ready here. Americans cling fondly
and proudly to the satisfying and
dangerous conviction that should the
emergency arise, they could easily
lick creation" They argue that be-
cause of their splendid isolation with
5000 miles of Atlantic ocean barring
the way to one coast and 5000 miles
of Pacific ocean barring the way to
the other-no old world nation could
reach America advantageously if il
wanted to fight, and if tried the coun
try should have plenty of time in
which to prepare for the contest. The
argument is also made that because
the nation is great in number and
wealth, therefore it must be strong
They ignore the development 81 mod

Congressman X. ID. Mckellar
decided Monday to fire his open

paign at Gallatin next Saturday
afternoon. Gallatin Is the home
town of Edward Albright, Mr.. Me-
Kellar's state campaign manager
and the citadel of Congressman
COrdell Hull's strength in Middle
Tennessee.
Former Gov. NJ. R. Patterson will
make his opening speech in the audi
torium at Nashville next Monday eve-
ming.
Senator Luke Lea opened his cam
paign formally last Saturday with a
speech in Dresden, devoted principal
ly to an explanation of his political
alliances and history.
Congressman T. w. Sims started
his ball rolling several weeks ago in
Chattanooga.
Senator Lea will spend the whole
of this week in West Tennessee, anC
Congressman Mcclellan will continue
his personal campaign in Middle Ten
nessee.
Contrary to expectations West Ten
nessee will not become the initial bat
tie ground, Congressman Mcclellan
and Mr.. Patterson bucking each 9th
er in Middle Tennessee, Mr.. Sims
spending considerable time in Eas
Tennessee, and Mr.. Lea busy in the
territory of Gov. Tom C. Rye.
Rumors are rife that Gov. Rye!
appointees are much divided in the
campaign. The governor has not in
timated for whom he will cast his in
fuence, although he is general!
claimed by the Lea forces. In hi
agricultural department, Chief Clerl
w. T. Morris is strong Patterson
supporter. D. B. Thomas, in the Of
flee of the comptroller's department
is an active Lea supporter.
Tom Dwyer, former Lea supporter
is openly and actively identified will
McKellar headquarters.
Senator Lea charges that the rail
road influence is behind Patterson
Others say that Congressman SIM
will have the support of public ser
vice corporations.
Anyway, this week will bring tn
campaign into full sway Throughout
the state.
1t is believed that Mr.. McKellar
will reserve his Shelby county cam
paigning until the last. making

Many a Gloomy COuntenance In John

A bad back makes you gloomy.
Can't be happy with continual
backache.
The aches and pains of bad back
are frequently due to weak kidneys.
Doan's Kidney Pills are recon-
mended for weak kidneys.
So Johnson City citizens testify.
r. C. Collins, 1O2 Ivy Street, John
son City, says: For years my kid
neys were weak and the secretions
passed too freely. I had to get up
often at night on account Of this
weakness. My back got weak and
achy and | had rheumatic twinges in
the joints of my arms. Dropsical
swellings appeared beneath my eyes
and in my feet and had dizzy spells.

got some from Ward & Friberg's

me and several more boxes cured me.

WITHOUT ANY COLLATERAL
THE COIN MUCH DESIRED
Question Of United States Neutrality
Is Involved II the Loan is FL
nanced-British and French
Government Bonds.

New York.-The present plan OF
the Joint Anglo-French financial COM
mission, it was reported, is to bor-
row one billion dollars in the United
States on straight British and French
government bonds without any col
lateral.
If this vast sum of money is OBJ
tanned, it was said, it is to be spent,
to the last cent, in the United States
for wheat, cotton, meat and other
commodity shipments, including mu-
nitions of war. 1t will, therefore, in
the opinion of financial authorities,
be classified as commercial loan.
Whether the neutrality of the Uni
ted States would be questioned, in
the case the bankers financing the
loan should accept straight British
and French government notes as Sc
curity, has been given serious con
sideration. 1t was said chat tinan-
ciers familiar with the plan had ev-
cry reason to believe Washington
would interfere.
That was the unanimous opinion
tonight of many of the scores OF
prominent bankers from New York
and the chief cities of the country
who have visited the commission at
its headquarters here during the
three days of its stay in this city. AS
to it's correctness the members of the
commission declined to comment All
the commission cared to publish as
authoritative was voiced by Lord
Reading, the chairman, who said:
1--WE are not in position to make
statement at the present, because
we are studying the conditions in
New York and elsewhere in relation
to American exchange on London and
Paris. We have received a consider
able number of persons, prominent
bankers and other gentlemen inter-
eSLeu III lnc SldDlllly VI VAShohSC'
"The one thing that is very strik-
ing about it is that everybody is
agreed, as one would expect, in the
great Importance to be attributed to
regulating the exchange so as to pro
vide more stable conditions.
1.-THE sudden and considerable drop
in the exchange naturally disturbs
and must disturb commercial rela
tions between the countries-the Uni
ted States and Great Britain anc
France-in as it makes it Sc
difficult to see ahead what the rate OF
exchange will be, and. moreover, be-
cause naturally it makes such a ma
terial difference in the prices to be
received by the American and prices
to be paid by the Englishman and the
Frenchman.
There is a concensus of opinion
that is eminently desired that some
step be made by which stability Of
this exchange can be secured.
