Other Items Of Interest From

Further litigation has been COM
menced in the Knox county court of
common pleas with reference to the
guardianship of Charity Ann Robin
son. A suit was filed Monday after
noon by William H. Wagner, guardian
of Charity Ann Robinson, against
George R. Craft, in which the plaintiff
asks that a deed be set aside and an
injunction granted restraining the
defendant from interfering with the
property of the ward of the plaintiff.
According to the petition on Jan
uary 29, 1913, the defendant purchas-
ed from the said Charity Ann Robin
son a certain farm in Wayne town
ship. At the time the farm was pur-
chased, Judge Wilkins of the probate
court had removed the guardian of
Charity Ann Robinson. Only last
week Judge Wood of Morrow county,
who heard the matter, gave out a
written opinion in which he reversed
the probate court and restored the
guardian. The plaintiff in this action
now brings the suit to have the deed
for the farm set aside-the property
which Craft purchased from Charity
Ann Robinson. The plaintiff also
asks for an injunction restraining the
defendant from occupying the said
property. A temporary injunction
was granted by Judge Blair In the
court of common pleas Monday after
neon. The attorneys for the plaintiff
are Lot c. Stillwell and Robert L.

POINTS OF VIEW

The editor of the London Daily
News in recent editorial said
The preparedness issue in Amer
lea means that the greatest power on
the face of the globe has come into
the world system to secure herself
against war and against the effects
of war.
80 far as the United States is CON
cerned the forthcoming presidential
election is the most momentous since
Lincoln was chosen. So far as the
world is concerned, 1t is incompara-
bly, more momentous because it is to
decide what America stands for in
regard to the future of the world.
And with that decision, not the in
terests of America alone, but the in
terests of Europe and of the whole
earth are bound up.
The underlying watchword of the
preparedness issue which is sweep
ing the United States is the idea that
the power of America should be used
to deliver humanity from the tolls in
which it has been enmeshed by the
past that it should be the weapon of a
new dispensation and that the affairs
of men shall henceforth be subject to
the arbitrament, not of force, but of
justice.
The sword which America is forg-
ing will be used not to make war. but
to make war on war and to lay the
foundation Of world security 1t
means that America will be the saw
Tor Of Europe"

A MARIETTA VOICE IN ST. LOUIS

Georgia had the biggest voice in
the National Democratic convention,
which met at st, Louis yesterday. 1t
did not come from any one delegate
or the combined delegation from
Georgia; in fact, it was stronger than
several delegations. THE Man With
the Voice was Devereaux f. Nc
Clatchey, of Atlanta, who served as
reading clerk
This longed-legged. leather-lunged
brass thrOated Georgian. as he is
known, has been a star performer in
the Georgia legislature for several
years. He is now clerk of the Geor-
gia State Senate. He is youched for
by all who have heard him in action
as the possessor Of the strongest
voice east OF the Rocky Mountains.
There is said to be a fellow who
lives the life of recluse some where
in Yellowstone Park who amuses
himself every morning and evening
by going out in the valley in front
of his cabin and shouting so loud
that he shakes off the tops of few
crags and thereby launches a land
slide.
But the Rocky Mountain wonder
has never strayed away from his ma
tive haunts, and consequently is not
a competitor of the Georgia fog horn
who was selected to keep the Demo
cratic delegates informed as to what
TRANSFERRED on the St Louis rostrum.
DevereuX McClatchey can read all
day and finish stronger than he was
at the start, and then if he's given a
real juicy steak and a brief rest
spell he can read for the balance OF
the evening, and still get stronger
and stronger.
His voice is like tug boat whistle
1t starts deep and boomish and the
farther it gets he louder and clearer
it booms so that no person, no mat.
ter how large the convention hall
and no matter how remote the per.
sons seat from the rostrum, can fai
to catch every syllable-unless he
happens to be stone deaf.

DRY TOAST

(From the Times Of Cuba)
Lay the jest about the iulep in the
camphor balls at last,
For the miracle has happened, and
the olden days are past
That which made Milwaukee famous
does not foam in Tennessee,
And the lid in old Missouri Is 1T
tightlocked as can be;
And the comic-paper colonel and his
cronies well may sigh,
For the mint is waving gayly. and
the South is going dry
By the still-side on the hillside in
kentucky all is still.
And the only damp refreshment must
be dipt up from the rill.
Nawth Ca'lina's stately ruler gives
his soda glass a shove,
And discusses local option with the
So'th Ca'lina guy.
1t is useless at the fountain to be
nIhhldA VI the eye
For the cocktail glass is dusty, and
the South is going dry
1t is water, water, everywhere, and
not drop of drink p
We no longer hear the music of the
mellow crystal clink;
When the Colonel, and the Major,
and the Central and the Jedge
Meet to have little nip, to give
their appetites an edge;
For the eggnog now is nogless, and
the rye has gone awEy,
And the punch-bowl holds carnations
for the South is going dry
All the nightcaps now have tassels,
and are worn upon the head
Not the nightcaps that were taken
when nobody went to bed;
For it bears no pungent clove-tang
on it's odorific breath
And the breeze above the blue grass
is as solemn as is death,
And each man can walk the chalk
line when the stars are in the
sky,
For the fizz-glas5 now is fizzless and
the South is going dry
Lay the jest about the julep meath
the chestnut tree at last,
For there's but one kind of moon
shine, and the older days are
past.
The waterwagon rumbles through
the Southland on its trip,
And 1t helps no one to drop off to
pick up the drivers whip:
For the mint-beds now are pastures,
and the corkscrew hangeth
high;
All is still along the still-side and
the South is going dry

THE ORIGIN OF LIFE INSURANCE

By n. K. Smith, Special Agent Equit-
able Life, and H. L. Wooten, Solicitor
Almost every one remembers the
biblical account OF the dream of King
Pharaoh, of Egypt, in which he saw
seven fat cattle followed by the sew
en- lean cattle; and Joseph's interpre-
tation of his dream as meaning sew
en- years of plenty and abundant
crops, followed by seven years of
famine. You remember too that
Pharaoh appointed Joseph as ruler
over all Egypt and that Joseph COM
manded the people to lay asi1e one
fifth of their food and crops. He ap-
pointed officers throughout the land
to gather or collect these supplies
and store it in the cities during the
seven years of plenty. This fore
sight and protection saved the whole
nation from starvation during the
seven years of famine that follow
ed. This then was the earliest form
of Life Insurance and was put into
practice about 1900 B. c., Joseph
therefore. was the first president of
life insurance company.
Later, in ancient days of Greece,
still more useful form of Life In
surance was inaugurated. The
Cracks handed tbapocaIvac to0atbor
in settlements or communities, each
pledging themselves to aid in sup
porting and protecting the families
of any member of the community
that might die. In this way, the
burdens of support of any unfortu-
nate family fell upon the entire set
Element and not upon the kinsmen
only. This form of Life Insurance
was crude and simple, but is the bas-
is upon which modern insurance was
founded that of brotherly love and
humanity.
The first organized and capitalized
life insurance company was founded
by Rev. DR.. Anhate, of Lincolnshire,
England, in the year 1898. In the
United States, during the quarter
century preceding the Civil War,
good many life insurance compan-
les were organized and began bust
ness, but the financial depression
caused by the war, had a telling eff
feet and many of the weak and I'M
substantial companies collapsed un-
der the strain. But those old line
companies that withstood the pan
icy days of the war and the test of
similar financial storms, stand today
as gigantic and colossal monuments
of strength and sound principle. A
splendid example of the stability of
these great institutions is the Equit-
able Life Assurance Society, which
was founded in 1857, and though in
its infancy during the terrible fnan-
cial storm caused by the war, by it's
sound principles stood the test and
has risen with an increase of bust
ness frOm.y year to year until today it
safeguards the wives and families of
over Six Hundred Thousand policy
holders, protecting them with assets
of over Five Hundred Million Dol
