there was no reason to believe Mr..
Lloyd-George had any ambitions for
the task. The Guardian, which sup
ports Mr.. Lloyd-George, says that in
letter to Mr.. Asquith he took the
stand that man could not act both, as
premier and as a member OF the war
council which would have to sit
morning and evening and deal with
the terribly urgent" war problems.
The hope is expressed generally
that an election will be avoided on
account of the delay and of interfer-
ence with the business of war. Should
an election become necessary, it will
be held under three-year old regis
ter, SO that 100000 new voters would
be disfranchised.
Predict Asquith's Return.
Whether Mr.. Lloyd-George, whose
action led to the disruption of the
coalition government and the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Asquith, would have any
greater success in forming a ministry
than Mr.. Bonar Law is question
which has not been answered. Politi-
cal correspondents predict that Mr.
Asquith will be back at the head of
the government before many days.
Mr.. Asquith takes a ma jority of
the liberal ministers with him in his
retirement Mr.. Lloyd George being
assured of the support of only Her
bert Samuel, the home secretary; Ed
win S. Montagu, minister of NUM-
tons; some of the junior ministers,
DIR. Christopher Addison,
parliamentary under secretary for mu-
nitions, and of small section of the
party known as the ginger group"
1t is not believed probable Mr.. Lloyd-
George would have any more sue
cess with the labor members than
did Mr.. Bonar Law, the parliament
tary correspondents say, while the
attitude of large part of the union
ist party is doubtful
Mr.. Bonar Law, Sir Edward Car
son and the earl of Derby probably
would act under Mr.. Lloyd George,

as they supported his ultimatum to
Premier Asquith regarding the for
nation of smaller war council.
No Dismay Among Liberals.
The Westminster Gazette says Pre-
mier Asquith's resignation was not
received with any dismay in liberal
circles. A majority of the party
warmly approved his decision and
was prepared to give unionist ad-
ministration fair chance if one were
formed. But it predicts that any mi
nority government would have pre-
carious existence. The Gazette con-
tinues:

will as the result of the crisis be sum-
moned once more to the palace to

Danger Signal.

If the fire bell should ring
would you run and stop it or go
and help to put out the fire?
It is much the same way with a
cough. A cough rs a danger sig-
nal as much as a fire bell. You
should no more try to suppress it
than to stop a fire bell when it is
ringing. but should cure the dis
ease that causes the coughing,
This can nearly always be done
by taking Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. Many have used it
with the most beneficial results.
It is especially valuable for the
persistent cough that so often
follows a bad cold or an attack OF
the grip. Mrs. Thomas Beech
ing, Andrews, Ind, writes:
During the winter my husband
takes cold easily and coughs and
coughs. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is the best medicine for
breaking up these attacks and
you cannot get him to take any
other. Obtainable everywhere.

"The Shepherd of the Hills"

Harold Bell Wright, the author
of The Shepherd of the Hills, .
which opens it's second annual
engagement at the Century Thea
ire, Jackson, Monday, Dec. 25th,
Xmas day, is conceded to be the
most popular American novelist.
No modern authors books have
had anything like the sale that
has been accorded to Mr..
Wright's works.
Nearly every one is familiar
with the characters in The
Shepherd of the Hills" They
are people of the ordinary run Of
life, people whose veins run good.
rich, red blood. They do things
in a natural, human way; they
love and hate with deep passion.
In making a play of his novel,
Mr.. Wright, with the assistance
of EIsbury w. Reynolds, has re-
tanned all the dramatic moments
of the story and enlarged upon
the characterof ''Preachin' Bill, "
making a character Of him that
will be long remembered by the
theatre-goers. Naturally the love
between Sammy Lane" and
Young Matt" is the pivot upon
which the play revolves.
Messrs. Gaskill and MacVitty,
the producers, have mounted the
play in a sumptuous manner and
given it a cast that promises to
prove unique in the matter of
types.
Special attention paid to out-of-
town orders for tickets by mail or

consolidation of New Prospect,
Rhodes and Mt. Carmel schools.
For the present it has two teach
ers, Prof. r. M. Winstead and
Miss Mamie Baker,sbu another
teacher will be employed If the
attendance comes up to eXpecta-
tons.
New school building was
thrown open and dedicated yes
terday with BETTING ceremonies,
presided over by Prof. Winstead.
The dedicatory address was de-
livered by Rev. Bryan Simmons,
and gem of thought and oratory
it proved, filled with good advice
and valuable suggestions.

Peace lecture, and Prof. J. II
Calhoun, superintendent Of rural
schools, made a talk along con-
solidation lines, complimenting
the trustees and others on the
suspicious beginning of New
Prospect Consolidated School.
The attendance was .large and
much interest was manifested.
A splendid dinner was served on
