Dr. H. N. Shepherd is in receipt
of letter from DR.. Henry w Nor
gan, dean Of the Vanderbilt dental
department, appealing to him to raise
funds in this county from the den
fists and others interested for the
benefit of soldiers in Europe who are
suffering from oral and dental inju-
RES.
The Paris dental schools have been
closed and converted into hospitals
for the care of those requiring oral
surgery. The cause is an urgent one,
worthy and at the same time one
that affords the people great les

profession.
DR.. Shepherd will act as treasurer
of the fund in this county. He will
be glad to receive contributions for
it, and will promptly forward them
to the Red Cross Society, which will
make proper distribution of them.

GALLON OF BOOZE

MEASURE IN SENATE WOULD
HAVE MORE THAN THIS EV-
lDENCE OF SALE.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March H.
Two new liquor bills, one relating to
the shipping of intoxicants, have been
introduced in the senate, following
the introduction of the same bills in
the house on Wednesday. Senate
bill No. 63S, by Messrs. Stevens and
Murray, provides that shipments Of
liquor shall be labeled to show the
nature and amount of the contents.
Another bill by the same senators
provides that the keeping of more
than one gallon of intoxicants in pos
session shall be prima facie evidence
Of intention to make unlawful sale.
The last named bill is aimed at
bootleggers, and if it is enacted into
law is expected to somewhat curb
the activities of those who engage in
the Illicit sale Of liquor.

The debaters of the Columbia Cen

with the representatives OF the Win

The subject of the debate was Re

such legislation as will provide for
the compulsory arbitration OF indus
trial disputes The local boys were
well trained, had their debates well
in hand and delivered them with ease
but in argument they we're hardly the
equal of the visitors, who were more
seasoned debaters.
The debate was heard by good
crowd, in spite of the postponement
from Friday to Saturday evening. One
of the most enjoyable features of the
evening was the singing of the glee
club of the high school, which con-
tributed several of the school songs

Jour INTELLECTUAL HERITAGE"
SUBJECT OF AN INSPIRING
ADDRESS.

Our Intellectual Heritage was
the subject of an inspiring address
made this morning to the cadets at
the Columbia Military Academy by
Chancellor James II. Kirkland, of
Vanderbilt University.
The noted educator spoke for sor-
ty-fve minutes to the boys, telling
them of the advantages that they en-
joy as compared to those of the pre-
Vious generations. He dwelt mainly
upon the intellectual advantages that
We're theirs, the knowledge that had
come down in accumulated form with
each succeeding generation of meR.
He stated that all comforts, all pro-
gress, all inventions were the result
of intellectual effort, and that the
great rewards of life came to those
who use their brains instead of their
hands.
After addressing the cadets, Chan
cellor Kirkland left on the morning
train, going to Lewisburg to make
similar address to the students of the
Price Webb school.

GERMAN SUBMARINE
SE DIS FIVE BOATS
TO BOTTOM OF SEA
FOUR BRITISH AND ONE FRENCH
DESTROYED BY ELUSIVE
CRAFT.
MOST OF CREWS WERE SAVED

LONDON, March 15.-The subma-
rine U-29, one of the largest and fast.
est Of German underwater craft, has
had a successful three days off the
Sicily Islands and in the English
Channel, where on Thursday, Friday
and Saturday she sank four British
steamers and one French steamer and
damaged three others.
The German commander gave the
crews of most of the steamers time
to leave their vessels and in some
cases towed the ships life boats with
the crew to passing steamers, by
which they were brought to port.
The U-29 was chased by patrol
boats, but proved too elusive. while
steamers which tried to ram or es-
cape her found the submarine was
much faster than similar craft which
previously had been preying on Great
Britain's oversee trade.
With a German submarine in the
waters around the Sicily Islands,
which the big liners pass on their
way across the Atlantic. much unea-
siness is felt in shipping circles, and
during the course of the day re-
port, which also reached the Ameri-
can liner New York by wireless, was
circulated that one had been torpe-
doed. This report, it is believed,
arose from the sinking of the Andalu-
sian, which belongs to the Ellerman
line.
The British feel they more than
evened matters up for the loss of
these steamers by the victory at
Neuve Chappelle and the defeat yes
terday of the Germans in their effort
to recover ground gained by the Brit
ish on the preceding day.

the window of the barber shop was
boken out, and the physician got first
hand information of the "doings" in
side.
Last week number of the good
citizens of Franklin, finding that they
could not get relief from the city and
county officers, whose sworn duty it
is to enforce the law, went to Nash
Vile and laid the matter of the pros
ecution of the alleged bootleggers be-
fore Hon. Lee Douglas, United States
district attorney fer Middle Tennes-
see. He reported the matter before
the federal grand jury, and subpoe-
mas were issued for more than hun.
dred Of the citizens of Franklin and
Williamson county. A number Of
them were served during the past
week, while service upon the final
twenty-six was made Sunday after
noon and night by the United States
marshal.
One thing is a surety, there has
been no such sensation in Franklin
in long time. AS one citizen ex-
pressed it Sunday. there wouldn't
have been as much excitement if two
prominent citizens had been killed IN
cold blood upon the streets and three
babies had been born into homes at
which the stork had not visited in
twenty years.
