TRAIN THEM AS "OLD HICKORY" :"
Bryan Gives Advice as to Bringing
Up American Children.

Washington, Jan. S.-Secretary
Bryan was the principal speaker at
a Jackson Day celebration held under
the auspices Of the Woman's National
Democratic League, in convention
here. He lauded Jackson as one OF
the two greatest Democrats in his
tory, and urged American women to
rear their children according to Jack
son principles of Democracy.
Mr.. Bryan analyzed in detail the
record Of the Democratic party, pay
ing particular attention to the legis-
lative program Of the present admin
istration. Incidentally, he reiterated
his conviction that women should
have the right of suffrage. THE
right of voting" he declared, re
quires the expression Of two qualities
Intelligence and morality. Until
it can be proved that women have
not these qualifications they should
not be denied the ballot"
polite larceny" the Secretary
said, was practiced too much in
present-day politics." and he re-
marked that the man who stole upon
small scale to-day was looked upon
as common thief and menace to
society, while the one who stole upon
large scale was regarded as a Ma
poleon of finance, and his rascality
is covered by admiration.
Referring to the record of Con-
gress during the last session, Mr..
Bryan praised the tariff, the cur
rency, the parcel post and other laws,
characterizing them as the greatest
heritage ever given the common peo-
pie by any political party.
When the currency bill was en-
""tod," he said, "thr N7wcr 10 decide
W. neither the country should have
prosperity or ha thrown into panic
waa taken from the too men ana di-
'idGd into tweNu regions with The
central authority placed in Washing
ton instead of New York."
The Secretary denounced private
monopoly and predicted a continued
redistribution of the influence which
combinations now possessed until
free privileges to all and special
rights to none was had. Every mo-
ther in this country" he declared,
SHOULD study the theory Of govern
ment and instruct her children to
stand for honesty so that they may
be able to understand right from
wrong in politics and through their
convictions protect themselves with
their votes"

We cannot keep from admiring the
outspoken manner in which The Keo-
wee Courier comes out on the most
disgraceful lawlessnCss in and around
Fair Play The Courier does not
mlnCe words, but calls for. the appre-
hension and conviction of the parties
who have pa! this foul blot upon the
name OF Oconee county. The Cou-
rier contends that the good people Of
shat counly should not be compelled
to bear the odium that a set of toughs
and outlaws have placed upon them
This thing, contends The Courier, has
gone on long enough. 1t is time to
call halt
The Courier is right in speaking as
it does. The stand that it has taken
VIII hop Immensely to change condi-
tions fOr the better. 1t is time that
not only the newspapers were de-
mauding the trial and conviction of
murdorer8, but all good citizens
should join la this demand. The pen
itentlary has been emptied, and we
may expect n great harvest of crime.
Nbut ii the law-abiding people shall
do their DUTY it will not be a great
while before the lawless and dis
ohedicut will be behind the bars with
out the hope of wholesale pardons.

SU.rA.-, says renowned dorma-
tologist, just common bold-sulphur.
made into a thick cream will soothe
and heal the skin when irritated and
broken out with eczema or any form
of eruption. The moment it is ap-
piled all itching ceases and after two
or three applications the eczema dis
appears, leaving the skin clea~ md
smooth.
He tells eczema sufferers to get
from any good pharmacy an ounce Of
bold-sulphur and apply it to the irri-
tated parts the same as you would
any cold cream.
For many years common bold-sul
phur has occupied a secure position
In the practice OF dermatology and
cutaneOus affections by reason of it's
parasite-destroying property. 1t is
not only parasiticidal, but also anti
pruritic, antiseptic and remarkably
healing in all irritable and inflamma-
tory conditions Of the skin. While
not always effecting permanent
cure 1t never fails to instantly sub
due the angry itching and irritation
and heal the eczema right up and it
Is often years later before any erup-
tion again appears on the skin.-Ad.

FREEDOM OF THE SEAS.

The Government of the United
States and the imperial German Gov
ernment are contending for the same
great object-have long stood to-
gethlr in urging the very principles
upon which the Government OF the
United States now so solemnly in
sists. They are both contending for
the freedom of the seas. The Gov
ernment of the United States will
continue to contend for that free
dom, from whatever quarter VIC
lated, without compromise and at
any cost. It invites the practical
cooperation Of the imperial German
Government at this time, when CO.
operation may accomplish most, and
this great common object be most
strikingly and effectively achieved.
The imperial German Government
expresses the hope that this object
may be in some measure accomplish
ed even before the present war ends
It can be. The Government of the
United States not only feels obliged
to insist upon it, by whomsoeVer
violated or ignored, in the protection
of it's own citizens, but is also deep
ly interested in seeing it made prac-
ticable between the belligerents and
themselves, and holds itself ready at
any time to act as the common
friend who may be privileged to sug-
gest way.
In the meantime the very value
which this Government sets upon
the long and unbroken friendship
between the people and Government
of the United States and the people
and Government of the German ma
ton impels it to press very solemnly
upon the imperial German Govern
ment the necessity for a scrupulous
observance of neutral rights in this
critical matter. Friendship itself
prompts it to say to the imperial
Government that repetition by the
commanders of German naval YES
sells of acts in contravention of those
rights must be regarded by the Gov
ernment of the United States, wheI
they affect American citizens, as de,
Iliberately unfriendly.

NEW TRACK RECORD.
Bonny Boy Lowers Mark of Track
to 2:O9 Ia.

Racing history was made yester-
day afternoon at the final session OF
the Bradford meeting of the Lake
Erie Trotting circuit. In the second
heat of the free-for-all race, the
third on the program, Guy M. Lee,
of Union City, Tenn, drove Bonnie
Boy, a roam gelding by Bonnie, un-
der the wire winner of the heat in
the record time of 2:09A. To
demonstrate that it was no fuke,
the game little horse went back in
the next heat and9 paced the second
half-mile in 1903 Hat. The time for
the half announced from the stand,
1904, was due to an error in COM
putation.
The best previous time made in a
race on the local track occurred
July 10, 1908, when Haywood pi-
loted Msjor Muscovite a mile in the
free-fot fall event in 2:O9%. Ed

LARGEST CONGREGATION
ATTEND CHURCH OPENING
First Service in the New Methodist
Church in Union City.

The first service in the new Metho-
dist Church in Union City was held
last Sunday, July 25, 1915, with an
attendance Of 1900 people, the seat
/ ing capacity of the church being
tested. The new building was re-
Gently completed by T. L Bransford
& Sons, and for number of days
the ladies have been busy arranging
for the pews and when they were
installed of getting the house in or
der for services. The date was set
apart and the largest audience ever
assembled in church in Union City
was present.
Rev. p. w. Lewis, of the st. Johns
Church, Memphis, filled the pulpit,
and his text was "Thou Art Peter
and Upon This Rock Will l Build
My Church. The subject was dl-
yided with Christ as the bridegroom
and the church as the bride, and the
minister brought out the fact that
lit was necessary to acknowledge one
in correlation with the other. Christ,
the Saviour of the world, established
his church on earth, in order that in
it's holy sanctuary the children OF
men might qualify and prepare
themselves for his kingdom on high.
The church is the abiding place
i which the Lord has chosen for those
who have accepted his teachings
for those who inherit the Kingdom
of Heaven.
The minister held the audience
with a splendid discourse. After
which some remarks were made by
members of the church. number
of baptisms were administered. The
song service was conducted with the
piano, which has been temporarily
substituted for the organ, to be in
stalled later. Miss Talbot, OF Vlr-
ginia, was a soloist of the occasion.
Rev. w. w. Armstrong, the pastor
under whose guidance the church
was built, and who has given his
ability, heart and soul to the work
arose to state that an opportunity
would be given to those who wished
to enlarge their subscriptions to the
new building, as we'll as to those
who might want to contribute fol
the first time. There is still debt
on the church, and this was reduced
Sunday with voluntary subscriptions
of Sc, 587, thanks to the generosity
of the members and friends OF the
church.
At night Rev. Roger L. Clark, OF
the First Christian Church, preached
another interesting sermon to
large congregation and the services
were of special Importance in the
new church.
