LEXINGTON LADY
SOCIALLY HONOR
ED IN EAST TENN.

Wonderland Park, Aug, 21.-A
birthday party, in which all those
at Wonderland Park club were par
ticipants, was delightful surprise
to Mrs. L. S. Woods, Of Jackson
Tenn, who is here and who on Sun
day celebrated her sixty-seventh
anniversary. When it became
known that this splendid lady
whose society is so delightful to all
at this charming and exclusive re-
sort, had reached her anniversary
lacking but three years Of the three
score and ten, every one entered
into the spirit Of according her best
wishes. Written sentiments, ex-
pressive Of this felicitation, were ad-
dressed to Mrs. Woods by all at the
club. These, together with several
material tokens from intimate
friends, were arranged at Mrs.
Woods place in the dining room,
where all assembled at noon in adj
vance Of Mrs. Woods. Subsequent
ly, she entered, accompanied by
Miss Elsie Galloway, also Of Jack
son and one of the most popular
young ladies who has been at the
club this season. She was greeted
by generous applause, after which
Mr.. H. c. Sanford uttered a birthday
message of congratulations and well
wishes for many more years Of hap
piness and usefulness. The table
at which Mrs. Woods sat had been
fittingly decorated with choice flow
ers and burning tapers, symbolic of
the day celebrated. Mrs. Woods
expressed her cordial appreciation
of the remembrances thus accorded
and was visibly affected by the evil
dences Of friendship from her friends,
the majority Of whom were newly
made.
Mrs. Woods was the recipient of
this social honor while so-journing
at Wonderland Park in the Smoky
Mountains in East Tennessee with
in ten miles of the North Carolina
line. The above account locates
Mrs. Woods as a resident Of Jack
son but we claim her always as be-
longing to Lexington.

(01n Club Boys at West Ten
neSSee Farmers Institute.

All Corn Club boys who attended
the West Tennessee Farmers Con-
vention met in building known as
the seed house on the station. Here
a special program was carried out
for them. Some of the boys dis
cussed appropriate subjects such
men as DR.. Tate Butler, editor Of
Progressie Farmer; DR.. Little, Min
lister Of the Gospel; H. D. Tate, H. S.
Nichols, J. C. McAmis, R. M. Muir
ply of the division Of Extension Of
the University of Tennessee, made
an address, also Hon. H. X. Bryson,
Commissioner of Agriculture Of
Tennessee.
In the main convention hall two
of the boys spoke to the farmers on
corn growing. They made such a
strong impression on those who
heard them that it was decided to
organize special section for them.
This was done with usual officers
elected. They will have charge of
their own meetings hereafter. In
this way the boys will receive some
valuable training that will be Of use
to them in life work in which they
are engaged. 1t is planned to carry
these organizations into every COM
munity in the state so that every
boy may take advantage of this
great work.
DR.. Tate Buffers address to the
boys was worth going there to hear.

REVENUE TAX is
DISCONTINUED ON
CERTAIN PAPERS.

The federal war taxes, disc ontin-
ued by official order yesterday, were
the first that the country has known
for eighteen years, or since the war
between the United States and Spain
in 1898. They were imposed this
time, not because Of actual war in
the United States, but because of
the reflex effect of the mammoth
European war.
War taxes of this kind, while not
particularly burdensome, are annoy
ing--to the individual, and amount
to comparatively little money. But
the placing of stamp on every
bank note, every contract, every
freight bill and the like takes up
considerable time and causes a lot
of annoyance and considerable con-
fusion.
One of the schedules revoked by
the order that went into effect yes
terday placed a war tax on coSmet-
its, chewing gum and number Of
the articles commonly classed as
druggists sundries. The tax, there
fore, on manufacturers in this line,
or upon wholesalers upon whom the
tax fell, was considerable item.
In many instances, the retail price
of the commodity was not advanc-
ed, and the manufacturer or the
jobber pocketed a smaller profit. In
other cases, perhaps, the price to
the consumer was advanced out of
proportion to the tax and the man
ufacturer or wholesaler pocketed a
larger profit.
On the whole, the public will be
Genuinely glad that there is no long
er necessity for keeping the taxes
in force. Nobody can seriously OBJ
ject to them at such times as they
are necessary, because they furnish
the government the surest means Of
raising necessary revenue, and they
impose a burden upon the people
that is more generally distributed
and perhaps less felt than any 9TH
er sort of burden tax.-Tennessean

He told the boys that they must
learn a bigger lesson from the club
work than growing corn, yet the
latter was a valuable lesson. He
emphasized the value Of knowing
ones own business and studying it.
He also told the boys that they
must learn to make decisions for
themselves. He gave the example
Of a dairyman who started life with
no capital and little education and
a lady who had studied much and
was we'll educated in school. The
man had studied his business. He
sold his butter at 33c per pound
and grew large crops Of corn and
cotton per acre. The lady sold her
butter at 17c. The man had edu-
Gated his two sisters in college. The
lady was not able to send hers
through high school. He said the
man learned what few men in col
lege learn, that which is best for
them, and that is, that there is
something to learn. He emphasiz-
ed the value Of getting a vision Of
the bigger things in life while in
school.

county were present: Grant Parker

NUMBER 6
.SIYTY- FOURTH
CONGRESS CLOSES
RECORD SESSION.

The session of Congress that clos
ed last Friday was notable in the
amount of work accomplised and
was exceeded in this respect only
by the first session of the record
breaking Congress that preceded 1t.
Speaker Champ Clark said, No
session of Congress in my recollec-
ton stayed in session so many days
and worked so many hours"
The work done at this session
was not due so much to the "driv-
ing" influence Of President Wilson
as was the first session of the Sixty
third Congress, but it was In a great
measure affected by that influence,
and, as Speaker Clark's remark
seemed shyly to suggest. the Presi-
dent doesn't believe in limited hours
for national legislators, however
much he may insist on the applica-
tion of that principle to railroad
trainmen.
Some of the more notable legisla-
ton accomplished by the present
session of Congress has been the
preparedness measure. providing for
larger army, better defenseS and a
great navy; the rural credits bilE the
anti-child labor bill; the eight-hour
bill, and the bill (important in the
WesD that makes a ock-grazing
homestead $40 acres instead Of 1850
acres, as heretofore. This last-men-
toned bill may tend to preserve
and increase the stock growing in
dustry and keep down the price of
meat.
The general preparedness bill in
cluded the provision for a govern
ment nitrate plant that, while pri-
marily intended to provide for war
munitions, may also pHoRide fertil-
izers to the great advc.-4tageof the
agricultural interests.
A measure of considerable impor-
tance was the emergency revenue
bill that passed in the closing hours
of the session. 1t incidentally pro-
vided for reprisals against foreign
interference with United States
mails and commerce.
The total number OF bills passed
was 252, the vast majority Of them
being Of small consequence and Of
local application only.
The expenditures made at this
session of Congress were appalling
in size, breaking all previous records
and carrying the nation consider
ably beyond the point reached when
Tom Reed triumphantly exclaimed,
This is a billion dollar country"
Congress, at the session closed last
Friday, appropriated exactly $685.
439,210, which, with obligations
and authorizations for the future,
makes total Of ST 1858, 1884, 4,485.
Much Of this,was included in the
preparedness program and may be
regarded as a permanent expendi-
ture.
The money devoted to the class
Of expenditures commonly called
pork" and which is the most OBJ
jectionable form Of extravaeance
was not proportionately large.
This has been an industrious ses-
sion of Congress and one that made
some notable achievements with
less of Jobs" than is usual and free
from any form Of scandal. Nash
