Both made short speeches. The gov

would send them to draw inspiration

on for long time, for it must have
been an inspiration to the speakers,
but the rarest of treats, dinner on
the ground, waited for all on the wide
spreading campus which surrounds
the High School building. Gen. Tay-
lor said that Mr.. Mcclellan made a
fearful inroad into the rich ham and
chioee eggs which graced the break
fast table of Mrs. Wills this morning.
In fact, it seems that Gen. Taylor had
it in for Mr.. McKellar. Mr.. McKellar
told the audience in the high school
that when he was elected senator he

of such decision, for Haywood coun-
ty's beauty is not confined to geological
adornment. But Gen. Taylor observed
that only men cheered Mr.. McKellar's
announcement. Anyway, the guberna-
torial party did full justice to the din
ner. They forgot all about that break
fast. The ham and the chicken, the
cakes and the pies were piled two deep
all over the long table. The governor
bemoaned the fate which long ago

the handsome floats that passed in re-

First came the High School, dozens
of young men and young women por-
traying the four historical events in
Haywood county-frst, the Indians;
second, the Confederacy; third, the fe-
yer, and the present prosperous and
liberty loving people. The costumes
were gorgeous and the settings were
excellent.
Then came the county schools-Al-

Shepherds, Nut Bush, Lebanon, Lone
Oak, Woodland, Dezern, Centerville,
Bradford, Holly Grove, Rudolph, Anti

were literally covered with bunting

Brownsville, Tenn, Oct 20.-Hay.
wood county has more school children
than any other county in the world
that is, when a few of Brownsville's
progressive citizens put their heads
together and have school rally
They had one here today. Such an
other rally has never graced the his
tory of this splendid little city. And
though succeeding years will still sup
ply the willing hands and happy little
hearts that contribute their all to days
like this, yet the time and the manners
must suffer unlocked for changes to
surpass or even equal the success of it.
They had been planning for it for a
long time. From Sunny South, away
on the Madison county line, to Shep-
herds down in the bottom, the fondest
hopes Of the children for days had
been excited by the prospect of the
delightful celebration. And all that
was needed to distinguish it, the hon
ored guests of the day were the dem
ocratic nominees for reelection to the
highest offices in the gift of the state,
Gov. Rye and Congressman McKellar.
About ten days ago, Mann Wills, the
treasurer of the democratic campaign
committee, laid down the rule that
there was to be no campaigning this
day, but that the governor and the
senatorial nominee must be the guests
of the children of Haywood county.
Mr. Wills has way of making his de-
sires sound law. So the morning found
Gov. Rye and Mr.. McKellar in Browns
vile. They should have been here at
6 o'clock to break the fast of the night
with Mr.. Wills and his splendid fami-
ly, but the punctuality Of railroad
trains has been remarked on in times
past. The nominees spent three per-
fectly good hours in Bells, reading and
rereading the morning papers, while
the train crew deluded themselves
with the vain thought that they could
repair locomotive.
But the breakfast had been kept
warm, and the delay didn't seriously
interfere with the plans, because the
rains Of last night prevented many Of
the school children from getting to
Brownsville as early as they had ex-
pected. It was about II o'clock that
the celebration began.
The governor and the congressman
met with the most cordial reception
that Haywood county could give. The
report has gone to democratic head
quarters that Haywood county demo-
Gratis expect to reduce the republican
vote of two years ago to less than half.
This is interesting news when it is re-
called that the republican vote of two
years ago was So.
Therefore it is not surprising that
the reception would be overwhelming.
Everybody joined in the welcome. The
governors party occupied tie central
point in the reviewing line. One by

the guests could ever get enough. But
finally the guests rebelled. The day
was over. 1t was time for congratu-
ations. Judge N. B. Keathley and
Prof. F. r. 0gilvie were so busy MAX
ing the day a success that it was a
long time before they could be found.
But when they were found, the glory
of the day was theirs. Judge Keath-
ley was uptown arranging for the chill
dren to take in the movies free. He
is county clerk, secretary of the school
board, mayor of Brownsville, and if
they should have a singing association
in Haywood county he would be pres
ident of that. He and Prof. Ogilvie
are the moving spirits iE the Haywood
county school rally. 1t is little wonder
that these rallies are successful with
Judge Keathley and Prof. 0gilvie man.
aging them.
1t was a delightful day for the gov
ernor and Mr.. Mcclellan. They ming
led and mixed with the banner demo-
Gratis of the state. They spent a day
with them, were among them, and
were one of them. 1t will be a long
time before they forget the warm re-
ception at Brownsville. 1t will be a
long time before they will forget the
pleasing delights of their stay at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Wills and their
splendid daughters. Gov. Rye tonight
is in Jackson. He goes back to the
hustings tomorrow at Selmer. Mr..
McKellar is in Memphis resting up for
another week at campaigning. Two
thousand joyful school children of
Haywood county will be trudging
along the road to school Monday, in
dulging happy thoughts of the great
est rally they ever had in Brownsville.
They made it a success, the muddy
roads and the chilling weather could
not daunt them. If in after years they
display the same fervent faith in de-
lighting democratic nominees that they
did today then surely the republican
vote of SO viii be shrouded in tender,
but unlamented memory

and Instruction for the Pe0-

dresses by Gov. Rye, Mr..
Mcclellan and Gen. Taylor.

The schools of Haywood county held
their third and greatest educational
rally on Friday, October 20. There
were more than two thousand school
children in the parade and fully FIVE
thousand patrons and friends present.
Notwithstanding the cold weather,
people began coming in early in the
morning. They came in automobiles,
buggies, wagons and on horseback.
At II o'clock the parade formed. It
was led by the Haywood County High
School teachers. They were followed
by High School boys and girls On
horseback, who were in turn followed
by four beautiful and artistic floats
designed by the High School faculty,
and portraying the four historical
events in Haywood county-frst, the
Indians; second the Confederacy;
third, the yellow fever scourge, and
fourth, the present prosperous, intel
hgent, patriotic people. Following
these came the rural schools in beauti-
fully and artistically decorated floats,
school wagons and automobiles. There
are thirty-eight rural schools in Hay
wood county, and most of them were
represented in this parade, many
schools having from two to five wag-
ons. All were filled with boys and
girls singing their school songs and
shouting 'Rahs appropriate to the oc-
casion. Following the rural schools
came the city grammar school, about
three hundred and fifty strong. Their |
floats and decorated automobiles were
tasteful and beautiful.
The meeting was held on the High |
School campus. At twelve o'clock the
High School auditorium was packed
with patrons and friends The meeting |
was called to order by Superintend-
ent 0gilvie, who, as presiding officer
presented Hon. Mann Wills, one of our
most honored citizens and man who
is always interested in educational
matters and leader in every pro-
gressive movement. Mr.. Wills, in his
matchless style, presented the first
speaker of the day, Gov. Tom c. Rye.
Gov. Rye is a great favorite in Hay
wood county, where he is known and
honored for his splendid manhood and
for his vigorous and strong admins
tration as governor of the state. The
governor was greeted by tremendous
plause. His address was short but
interesting, instructive
and appropriate to the occasion. The
other speakers of the day were con-
gressman McKellar and Hon. Hilsman
TAYLOR, both of whom acquitted them
selves in an admirable manner.
At the close of the speaking a bas-
ket dinner was spread on the campus.

DEMOCRATS MUST

REPUBLICANS PLAYING FAST
AND LOOSE with EVERYTHING
Democrats Must Guard Against Over
Confidence: Overall Disappointing
to Republicans: Not Straight

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. 25.-St. Paul
once remarked that we are apt to de-
ceive ourselves. Lest some might feel
that the grand old missionary had
Tennessee democrats in mind, it is
worth while to recall that the republi-
cans are up to their old tricks again.
The republican party IS playing fast
and loose with everything and every
body for a vote.
In East Tennessee the republicans
are going around denouncing Woodrow
Wilson and low-rating their betters
generally, In Middle and West Ten
nessee they are going around with
their hats in their hands begging for
democratic votes.
Tennessee normally is a democratic
state. Take the figures as you find
them, and year in and year out there
are about 10000 more democrats in
this state than there are republicans.
The only danger to democratic success
where there is no division in demo-
cratic ranks is over-confdence.
This over-confidence is what DEM
ocrats must guard against on Novem-
Der 7.
Every democrat must be on guard

ON the OJher.
Overall, the republican candidate for
governor, is disappointing even to re-
publicans. He trotted a heat or two
and then flung a shoe. He hasn't been
able to get straight on law and order.
Somebody has been writing addresses
for him. Gov. Rye hasn't the heart
to charge Overall with writing them.
But in these addresses Overall is max
ing every effort to evade straight
from the shoulder stand on decency
and order in the states affairs.
In fine, the republican party is with
us again in all its old time recklessness
1t is the Uriah Heep of Tennessee pol
itics. Here it is firm, there it is hum
BILE and cringing. Here it is pleading
partnership with the church on moral
ity; there it is flying the flag of
booze. In East Tennessee Hooper is
apologizing to republicans for linking
up with democrats. In Middle Tennes-
see he is trying to persuade democrats
to rebuke Woodrow Wilson in the eyes
of the world.
The republican party is out of line
with the hopes, the traditions and the
sentiments of Tennessee.
Everything is business and hustle
at democratic state headquarters. The
leaders are confidently predicting a
majority exceeding 10000. 1t will be
necessary for every democrat to go to
the polls on election day. They are
going in East Tennessee. Middle and
West Tennessee must do their duty.
