WHAT IS WRONG
WITH GRUNDY?

At the last term of court the
magistrates of the county voted
a decrease of ten cents on the
Elementary School tax and ap-
piled it to the support of Junior
High Schools as an act passed by
the legislature had done away
with the old secondary Schools.
We, feel that the action of the
court looking toward the estab-
lishment of these schools were
wise and step in the right di-
rection but we also feel that the
decrease in the elementary
school tax was wrong.
Our schools are already grieve-
ously curtailed and to take away
from them in their their poverty
stricken condition looks like
"robbing the widows and orp-
hans" We have the destiny
of unborn generations in our keep
ing and the way we plant and
build will determine the fate of
our posterity. "Are we willing
to be a back number? sAre we
willing to sit idly by in ignorance
Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1916-06-08

and poverty while our sister coun-
ties and states are forging for
ward in the educational race?
It has come to the point where
we must build or die.
Like the coral which can only
preserve it's life by building up
ward to the sunshine, we must
set our faces resolutely to the
front and do some constructive
work or we will perish in an edu-
catlonal way and we VIII be elm
mated from the race.
These Junior High Schools
which are to be established in
every district of the county will
solve the problem of a secondary
education for our young people
and will provide an incentive to
90 forward in more advanced
work. They will systematize
our course of study and give a
defnate goal toward which all
may aim. Instead of one or two
pupils dragging along in higher
Algebra and Physics as was the
case in our old secondary schools
in many instances, we can have
live, bright, and intelligent class
es working along a defnate cour-
Sc and not Fighting the air" in
an aimless and haphazard man
ner. We have got to provide
better education for our children.
Poverty vice and degradation are
on the one side; prosperity, sob
riety and all that tends to hig-
her life are on the other "choose
We this day which ye will serve. "
An educated people are moral
people. An educated people are
a prosperous and wealthy people.
The reverse can be written of
illiterate and uneducated people.
This has been demonstrated be-
yond question. ''Hear Oh Israel"
was the frs command given Gods
chosen people and how can we
hear without a teacher and how
can we teach unless we learn. and
how can we learn we have the
facilities. Let 1t not be said of
us in regard to our ownchildren;
''whose hand sloped back this
BROW" who took the upward
looking and the light from this
once brigth countenance,' who
mared the image of God in this
his creature?" God help us to
the light and SO our duty as God
gives us to know our duty.

OUT WITH
ASWORN
STATEMENT.
Life Long Invalid Restored
To Health By Tanlac
Gains 81 Pounds.

/
year there appeared in the Chat
tanooga Evening News the re-
markable story of a frail little
woman who had been restored to
health and happiness by the use
of Tanlac. The person referred
to is Miss LaRue Davis, who is
now a resident of Memphis and
| who lives at 2S6 Looaey Avenue.
This statement which is so re-
markable as to be almost incred-
ible was published in newspapers
all over the south from the Mason
and Dixon Line to the Texas Bor-
der. In telling of her wonderful
restoration to health at that time
Miss Davis said:
81 always have been very deli
cate and suffered a great deal
from stomach trouble and rheu-
matism. / rarely ever had any
appetite and simply couldn't re-
lish anything. | fell off in We
light until | only weighed rs
pounds, and was so thin | looked
perfectly awful. After taking
three bottles of Tanlac now
weigh over 100 pounds and am
gaining every day. My appetite
is good and | can hardly get e.
nongh to eat. Even my complex
ion has improved and | feel bet
ter in every way. Tanlac is sim
ply grand and / can truthfully
say that this is the only medicine
that ever did me any good.
At the time she made this sta
tement, Miss Davis lived in Chat
tanooga and made her home at
210 Glass Street, East Chatta-
. nooga. A still more remarkable
feature of this case came to light
just last week when she came of
her own free will and accord to
tell DR.. w. B. Logan, the special
! Tanlac representative at Mem
phis, that she was still in the
best of health and that she had
gained Z pounds in addition to
the "a pounds reported last June
! and she felt that she owed not
only her present health, but her
life to this medicine. Out of
sheer gratitude Miss Davis con-
sented to give not only a second
statement but to make a sworn
affidavit to the facts in her re-
markable case, which appears be-
low.
Miss LaRue Davis formerly of
210 Glass Street, Chattanooga,
Tenn, now living at 2S6 Looney
Avenue, Memphis appeared be-
fore me in person and made the
following statement.
/ ''In June 1915, l of my own
free will aud accord, went to the
Live and Let Live Drug Company
at Chatsanooga Tenn, to see the
Tanlac representative and gave
him my. testimonial stating the
fact that | had used three or four
bottles Of Tanlac, and that the
statement then given was true
and that wish to state now
that every word contained there
in still holds tue. Furthermore
| have not had a days sickness
since that time and that am
improving all the time, have
gained seven pounds more, max
ing thirty-one pounds gained
since / began taking Tanlac.

Chinese Gods To 30 Shown In Tho Bap'

The Baptist Sunday school super

have each received from the Bap-
fist Sunday School Board Of Nash
vile, Tennessee, a real Chinese idol,
brought from Shanghai, China, and
real hand-painted Ancestral Tab
let from Japan.
In addition to the above, the real
money which is burned in China as
an Offering to their gods has been
sent to all superintendent who
have applied for same.
A most interesting poster which
sets forth American idolatry under
its popular forms Of the worship Of

has been PROVIDED.

dents, not that they may teach the
Baptists Of the South to worship
idols, but that they may show clear
ly and forcibly to accomplish the
salvation of a human soul.
An attractive program has been
prepared in which different forms Of
heather worship which is used in
China and Japan before these gods
and tablets will be acted out before
the Sunday schools
Wherever this program is featur-
ed it is expected that an unusually
large attendance will be present,
Fully 100000 will attend the Bap-
fist Sunday schools Of the South on
March &C. To give unity to the en-
tire day many pastors will preach
upon the same theme as that set
forth in the program for the Sunday
school. The education value Of such
an occasion can hardly be estimat-
ed. s
1t is confidently expected that
Southern Baptists will contribute
for the current support OF Home and
Foreign Missions on March 26 not
less than $15O,0O0. On a similar
occasion last year individual schools
gave from a few dollars to over
$4,000.
The Baptist Sunday schools Of

throughout the South will make
this the greatest day for mission ed
ucation, prayer and giving ever
known among them.

keeping them in uniform"
Following Captain Sweeney, his little
lieutenant, Chief Inspector Harry Rod

before the business men-many OF them
gray-haired- and told them facts with
the zeal OF reformer. They laughed
when he began "La-dees and gentle

SUCCESS TOO SLOW,
ARTIST ENDS LIFE
Dead a Week when Body Is
FOund-Gun Missing

Discouraged because success in art
had not come to him as rapidly as he
had expected, Benja n. Luckey, an
artist, thirty years old, killed himself
in his bachelor apartment at 1853 East
Thirty-fourth Street. His body was
found in bed last night with bullet
wounds in the right eye and temple.
He is believed. however, to have shot
himself more than week ago.
In the room were found two letters,
one sealed and addressed to Luckey's
father, DR.. B. F. Luckey, Of PCS Broad
way, Paterson, n. j. The other note was
open and read
ITO whom it may concern: Kindly
notify my mother, Mrs. B. F. Luckey,
of Paterson, y. J. leave neither
scandal nor debts and do this because
am inadequate to existing condi-
tons"
A touch of mystery was given TO the
case by the fact that the police could
find no weapon in the room. They be-
lieve the disappearancesof the gun can
be solved.
DR.. Luckey, the suicides father, said
last night he believed that his son
was discouraged at his progress in the
world of art.
