Mesdames Smith,, Greer and

the State convention of Kings

advantage of the opportunity to
pay their respects to the Yalobusha

There was something more than
200 veterans and their wives and

Smith and Parks Pay into
Treasury.

Former Sheriff Frank 81. Smith
and Circuit Clerk Doss E. Parks
have paid into the county treasury
the amount of shortage against
them reported by the auditors some
months ago.
Mr.. Smith paid in $2,388, ,07,
which was the amount Of shortage
found with interest added, but does
not include the penalty of 80 per
cent assessed by Law. The penalty
is being held up for the present.
Mr.. Parks paid in 81 ,086.9 the
full amount that the careful audit
ing of his books showed to be due
the county.
The friends of both men were
sure that they would make good on
every cent found to be due the
county, and it is gratifying to be
able to mention that they have dcne
so without putting the county to
the delay and expense of an extra
cent of expense.

second step, therefore, in making
a permanent pasture is to destroy
and keep down the non-pasture
plants. To the extent that this is
done, or to the extent this is prac-
ticable, will depend the value of
the pasture and the feed it will
supply. The third essential to a
pasture in the South, at least in
the upland or rolling sections. is to
prevent the soil washing away un-
til the pasture plants establish and
fix themselves thereon, when they
will prevent further washing.
The fourth step towards a pas
ture is the sowing of the seeds of

The Spirit of the Note.


The message under the note
President Wilson sent to the Ger
man emperor sank deep into the
hearts of the American people.
It's influence has already been
felt in every state.
1T has brought all the American
people to one way of thiEking.
The president, with a remarkable
power of analysis and with an eye
trained to see the real issue, has
clearly placed before the nation
the exact points of difference be-
tween the United States and Ger
many. .
ALI collateral questions are dis
missed. Only the thing of real
Importance is discussed. &
That question is the right Of the
American people to exercise privi-
leges and liberties guaranteed to
them by custom and by law.
The president holds that these
liberties and rights are fundamen-
tal in. our national being; are in
the, essence, Of our national exis-
tence, and therefore cannot be
abridged Of limited.
A further study of the paper
shows the serenity of the mind of
the writer.
There is no indication of flush
OF Indignation. Neither is the
president anstere of severe, but he
is as strong as steel.
af AS the leader or this people, he
sets outsplainly the position Of the
United States.
He defines without rhetorical
declaration the rights that we con-
tend for, and then, without wordy
threats, he states that as matter
of course we will contend with
every instr inst mentality in our power
to maintain these rights unimpair-
ed and unabridged forever.
The presidents note in form and
spirit carries conviction. In choice
Of words it is a great state paper,
worthy Of the exalted position Of
the writer and worthy of the peo-
pie for whom the writer speaks -
Commercial Appeal.

Put The idle Acres To Work.

He would not be regarded as q
wise business man who kept half
his capital idle, nor is the mannfac-
turing plant likely to be prosper
GUS which runs, or operates only up
to half its capacity; and yet Lalf
the lands Of the South are prodnc-
ing no crop value. Those lands
which are bringing ID no revenue
arc consuming the fruits of our
labor from the cultivated acres.
It takes too large part of the
crops Of our cultivated acres to pay
the interest and taxes on the idle
acres.
It., therefore, follows that the
lands which are producing nothing
OF value should be put into per-
,nsnent pastures as far as condi-
tions ana capital will permit. We
mention capital advisedly, for it
requires money to make pasture.
An acre Of waste land does not be-
come pasture by merely enclosing
with . fence. 1t is true that such
land will produce some grazing,
and IF II will furnish enough feed
to pay for the fence, then that
should be the first step taken to-
wards the making Of the pasture; !;
but fence alone will not often
produce good pasture on South
ern lands.
Pasture plants are slow-growing
plants and in the struggle for exist
ence, If unaided by man, they are
overpowered by rank or vigorous
growing non-pasture plants. The

What VIII Her Answer be?

The American statement. OF It's
position regarding not only the
Lusitania affair, but other alleged
violations of the interna tionsl.law,
is u the hands of the German
government. 1t was delivered by
Ambassador Gerard on Saturday
to Herr Won Jagow, the German
minister Of Foreign Affairs and
doubtless by this time its contents
has been fully digested by Emperor
William himself.
The statement was a conserva-
tive one, couched in friendly but
firm language, an appeal in be-
half of humenity and demand for
the respect of American rights.
On Germany's answer much de-
pends. Not only concerning the
present relation Of the United
States with the German Empire,
but the good of the entire human
family throughout time and eter-
nifty.
Will Germany array herself on
the side Of humanity or brutality
This is the categorical question
which President Wilson has put
up to Emperor William, and it can
only be answered yes or mo" !"
Germany has been sorely tried,
exasperated until she let her pas
sions get the better of her judg-
ment, and committed acts which
she would not have done upon
sober second thought, but while
that may be an extenuation for
her action, it cannot be advanced
as justification.
She must choose either between
humanity or brutality -
Ii her decision falls, as it is con-
fdently expected it will fall, npon
the side of humanity, then long
step will have been taken towards
the adjustment of the differences
now existing, for the United States
government has never been known
as harsh bargain-driver.
Germany and the United States
are not the only nations involved;
the whole world awaits with anxiety
Germany's reply. And the world
expects that answer withoutevasion
or equivocation. The world will
not inquire into the circumstances
| of her answer, but will note well
the result Of it.
1t is Germany's opportunity to
array herself upon the side Of right
or wrong, and either win the SYM
pathy of the world or deserve its
condemnation. W

While waiting for it the world

INSISTS ON RIGHT TO SHIP

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1O.-The
United States government today dis
patched to Vienna n reply rejecting
the Austro-Hngarian views recently
set forth in a note contending that
the great scale on which war muni-
tions are being exported from Amer
lea to enemies of the Germanic allies
'is not in consonance with the defi-
milton of neutrality"
The note was cabled to Ambassador
Penfield. who probably will present Il to
the Vienna foreign office Thursday IL
may be made public later by agreement
between thetwo governments.
Repudistes Suggestion.
Though framed in diplomatic language
and entirely friendly in tone. the reply
is understood 10 repudlate flatly the sug-
gestion that the United States has per
mitted violations Of neutrality and rests
firmly upon the right of American export
ers to send war supplies to belligerents
able to purchase and receive them.
The United States always has held that
this is n unquestloned right under inter-
national law and high officials have
pointed out tina ito prevent such ship
ments to one country because another
was not in a position to receive them
would be in itself violation OF neutral
ity. rPecedents also have been recalled
where In previous wars Germany and
Austria imported arms extensively.
Tho Austro-Hungarian note, handd TO
Ambassador Penfield on June 20 was a
lengthy document, setting forth the views
of that government and suggesting that
the United states might redress the state
OF things complained OF by informing the
enemies of Austria Hungary that the sup
ply of foodstuffs and war material TO
them would be suspended unless lesit-
innate trade In these articles between
America and neutral countries were per-
mittod.
According TO Berlin dispatches. this
complaint was sent after a conference
between the Austro-Hunearian and Ger
man foreign offices. Similar notes. II was
