A VOICE FROM OLD TINE

Senator Gardner has introduced a
bill to protect foxes in Washington,
Carter, Unicoi and Johnson counties.
1t is doubtless a good bill, and it
suggests the fact that that particular
secion of the safe has been disturbed
about the extinction of it's fur-bear-
ing animals for quite awhile. At the
first session of the Tennessee legis-
lature ever held, a similar bill was
introduced. 1t was not passed
promptly, and toward the close of the
session Governor Sewer sent in a
message urging its passage He grew
rather warm about it, and in conclud-
ing his appeal, warned the legisla-
ture that if things continued as they
were for five years there would not
be enough fox skins in the Watauga
district to make an Indian clout, or
words to that effect That sounds
rather ridiculous now, but the APP
prehension may have been well
grounded Possibly the passage of
that bill saved the fur bearers

DOUBT EXPRESSED OVER
BOWERS Bills COURSE

Nashville, April 5.--Whether or moi
the Bowers anti-capital punishment
bill lis law is question that was
declared in some doubt late tonight
and it may be necessary to ge tan
opinion from the Encouragement and
later test the matter in the courts. -
The point on which he law hinges
is whether or not the five days in
which it is necessary for the COVER
nor to act on bill runs during re-
cess the legislature.
If the five days runs during recess,
the Bowers bill is law, because it
is claimed that the five days fror.
the time of passage of the measure
expired today without the bill being
either signed or vetoed by Gov Rye
Although it was supposed to be nee
essary for Gov. Rye to act on the bill
today, the governor let the bill go
by on the five days clause and 1t will
now be up to the courts to settle the
matter.
Officials at the capital stated that
it lis a Most complicated question
and hey are unable to solve it.
If the bill is a law, it may in the
near future save the life of some man
who i3 condemned to electOcution.
If it is not a law, condemned men
must suffer the death penalty.

age. AT present els at the head
of the model school of the East Ten
nessee State Normal school. at john
son City where he has been located
for the past few years. He is popu-
lar in East Tennessee and his APP
pointment is said to have been urged
by many educational interests of that
section of the state, as well as a
large lumber of teachers and those
who have known him in Middle and
West Tennessee.
The new superintendent of public
instruction has had much experience
that would quality him for his i'm
portant assignment at the hea dof
Tenessee's system of schools. He has
served since he entered the field of
school work as quie young man
in the various capacities from country
school teacher to the chad of some
of the largest schools of the state.
Prof. Sheriff. has been in Johnson
City about five years. He has been
closely identified with church work

tendendent of the First Presbyterian
Sunday school there, in addition to
being an active elder of that church.
He was formerly at the head of
the public school system at Paris, at
the time when Gov Rye was presi-
dent of the school board in that West
Tennessee city. Prof. Sheriff. was
principal of the public schools and
later became the superintendent of
the county and city schools jointly.
His administration at Paris was sue
cessful.

II. Il. BONDING SAYS
TIE ALLIES WILL WIN

Bristol, April 5.-W. f. Dowding,
formerly of Bristol and Johnson City,
who returned to lis home in England
with his wife and children, with a
view TO entering the British army,
has written an interesting letter to
DR.. A. ]. Kimmons, a well known
physician, of his city, in which he
says that England's loss is now 140,-
600 men killed, but that the worst
Of the fighting is yet to come. Mr..
Dowding writes from Liverpool un-
DIR date of Marcr II. and it is prob
able that by this time he is in the
army. At the time of writing the
letter lie was expecting a commission
He served five years in the English
army before coming to America. He
was for several years connected with
the lumber industry in Bristol and
Johnson City.
I'VE now have 100000 men in
France and England, besides the large
forces scattered throughout the
world writes Mr.. Dowding. Eight
ing is again getting severe and the
casualty list of this morning shows
eighty-four officers killed and wound
ed. Gu rtotal loss is now in the
neighborhood of 100000 all told-pret
ty heavy, but nothing compared to
what is to come, as we have not seen
the worst of the fighting by long
shot and as soon as spring sets in
and the condition of the ground al
lows, YOU will see big forward move
ment towards the German frontier.
Business conditions are worse in the
United States than they are here in
England
IF any one mentions to you that
the Germans will eventually win you
can give the lie direct. for, though
l grant we have a tough job on our
hands. and the slaughter will be
something terrific, hejob is not as
tough as some are inclined to believe
and Tommy Atkins and his allies are
more than equal to it,"

MUNSEY EASTER FAIR

went to the Turkey Dinner
And Munsey Easter Fair,
Two hundred and fifty boarders
At dinner time were there;
And about the same for supper
And what they couldn't eat
OF the high toned cakes they bough
And carried home TO "a treat.
My appetite was rather light
But did the best / could
To double on tho turkey
And some of the other food;
The Parsons wife did well
To keep me we'll supplied,
To be good star boaredr
I know how hard tried.
How long I ate l know not
/ know 1 did my best
To worry down some nourishnent
BY acting like the rest;
1t was merry company
The bell I never heard
To quit in fifteen minutes
Like the hotel where I board.
The Rainbow Tea was beautiful
And stylish up to date,
The rainbow chasers got there
But never staid too late;
The girls who made the fancy work
And candy there to sell,
For once a year in the business
Did amazingly we'll.
l bought cake at private sale
It was the richest thing
The frosting ON 1t was thicker
Than the frosts of Fell, and
II the bakers thing the Munsey folks
Can't beat them in Tennessee
They ought to come to my cupboard
And get a piece of me-
When folks get disappointed
And find their cake all dough
They ought to go to the Munsey
For turkey and Easter show,
Be sure and get their moneys worth
Food for body and soul,
And so live long and be happy
While Easter ages roll.
There's an invitation to all
To come to the Gospel Feast,
And lovers of Jesus are there
To welcome every guests;
Come in and hear the big choir
You'll be delighted know
To hear a Jenny Lind singer
And the eloquent Doctor Grove.

REPORT OF WORK FOR
ASSOCIATED CHARITIES

While Johnson City is Sunday
school and church town it is never
theless a fact that thousands of its
people, men, women and children, are
attendants. Their welfare, moral
and physical, is given more OF less
attention through the missions of the
several churches The Associated Char
titles and the general Miion conducted
by Rev. H. c. Clemens.
! The work of caring for he needy
: in Johnson City should be better or
! ganized No one who is at all famil-
! lar with Mr.. Clemens work has any
splendid services he is giving. A few
however have questioned the amount
, received by him for his services, and
/ in order that this information may
be in the possession of everyone, a
statement from Mr.. Burleson, the
! treasurer of the Associated Charities,
and MI. Clemens, is given herewith:
From April /, 1914, to March 81.
1915, the Associated Charities paid
Mr. Clemens 1921, 10 per cent of
! therceipts during that period $1,000
of this was due him for work done
prior to April /, 1914. Mr.. Burleson
says, Il thoroughly appreciate Mr..
Clemens good work, an dtrust that
the good people of the town will give
him better support"
Mr.. Clemens total support, as re-
ported by him, is as follows:
From Associated Charities. 10000
From S. c. Williams B. Class. $500
From Church Conference-....-.. 10000
On Mission Subscriptions 10000
Total $5S5.00
The work that Mr. Clemens is do
ing, which is after all only applied
Christianity, is worth more to john
son City than $685., and Mr.. Clemens
ought to be paid more. Let it be
borne in mind that of this $685. only
the sum of $435 has been paid him
from local sources. The officials of
the Associated Charities are much |
pleased with the work Mr.. Clemens |
is doing, and this organization, to-
gether with the churches of the city,
should make permanent and substan-
tial provision for carrying on just
such work as has been done by Mr..
Clemens for the past two years.
