WINGO WAS HERE MONDAY
Is Confident of q Wilson Victory This
 Fall; Back from Washington.

Congressman Otis T. Wingo was in the city few hours Monday while Or his way to Murfreesboro and spent the time visiting among his friends here. He has recently returned from Washington since the closing session of Congress. MT. Wingo is confident of Wilson victory this fall. He stat ed that his Republican colleagues in Congress freely admitted lack 0. confidence. He says that the Hughe> campaign has been a frost and a dis appointment, he having failed to awake the enthusiasm of members of his own party. He stated that q Hughes myth had been built up in the minds of the public. which was dissipated when the public came in contact with the real Hughes. It was soon found that the idol had feet of clay, and was far from the super-hu> man that had been pictured. Thei., again, the people of the north and east knew Wilson and knew what he stood for, knew he was honest and that he had courage. They have faii- ed to find what MT. Hughes himself would have done in the many instanc- es in which he had criticised MT. Will son.
 MT. Wingo was glad to find that the people of this section with fair crops and good prices were getting some share in the general prosperity

ALL GUARDS TO SEE BORDER
Organizations Still Held at Home arc
 To Move South Soon.

Washington, Sept. 16.-All National Guard organizations which have been held at state mobilization camps, since they were mustered into the federal service are scheduled to start for the Mexican border soon. Officials said today that they probably would go within two weeks
 Secretary Baker is determined that the guard of every state undergo bor- der service and training before it is discharged, and intends to use the troops in state camps to relieve those on the border so that the latter may return home and be mustered out of the federal service.
 Lack of funds available for trans portation may alter this policy. AL though no account of the expenditures incidental to the border situation has been made public, reports are that the department practically has exhausted ita fund. If the guard movement con- tinue it will be necessary to have an urgent deficiency appropriation bill put through as soon as Congress meets in December.

It will come back to Ashdown over the Arden road The direct road from Ashdown to Richmond continue to be served as at present by the star route.

ELIMINATE WORDS, HER IDEA

Clara KimbaIl Young. whose most re-
cent vehicle for the screen, The Com
mon Law" set q record for the lowest
number Of titles" ever used in a seven
reel feature. believes that the silent
drama can never attain its highest form
until all wording is eliminated from the
screen.
According TO Miss Young. the use Of
titles Is rapidly dying out and her great
est ambition is to produce the first real
silent drama" in which the only wording
matter shown on the screen would be the
cast Of characters.
The silent drama does not literally
fulfill Its function-is not really silent
serts.
