 During the week the United West ern resumed operations on the 800 foot level, after having installed d new compressor. The mine has been cleared of water and the company is now drilling in face of ore on the southwest drift of the 500-f0ot level Fifteen new companies have started active operations during the past week, the majority of them being financed and in a position to carry on an extensive campaign of de- velopment work
 One of the newest companies here, one that calls for particular atten- tion. is the Little Jim, just formed by w. l.. Wilson. of Los Angeles who has just purchased the Surprise Prince Albert and A. Y. claims from Frank Garrison and Lewis R. Wal lace. This property is in the heart of the fields. Its side lines face Sar Francisco property and the Oatmar United. A price of about $l0,000. it is said, was paid for the property.

The People and War

Senator La Toilette is carrying popular rule too proposing the nation shall not enter upon a without advisory vote on that subject It might be argued that nas1nuch as the people have to pay the bill and do the fighting they should be aI- lowed to say whether they want to undertake that expense and engage in that form of outdoor sport On the same theory nothing of public concern should be undertaken without advisory vote; our tariff should be fixed by advisory vote our rivers and harbor bills should be passed only after an advisory tand, perhaps that would not be a bad thing): nothing could be accomplished without advisory In such pebscte half the voters would vote without understanding of the questions before them The vote of the who had never heard of them before would be just powerful as that of the man who had devoted intelligent and intense study Co them
 There is reason, if there were no other why advisory war would not be advisable That is that might wait the casting the count and return of the vote There would be but a short time between the. time when the subject should acute enough for submission and the time when the cloud would either break or be waited away There would have been time in Great Britain France Belgium for .on the present war Russia could not have taken a. vote on a war with Japan.
 Senator La Toilette evidently assumes that if the power to declare war were take away the pres ident and congress and lodged in the people there would be less likelihood of WAT. It is generally s1med by the thoughtless that rulers prone than the people to war We do not think that in these days that is It is especially not so in this country.

The Sim ein

The sim Fein is which has appeared in news relating to the industrial and political troubles of Ireland within the last years. It is the name of the head and front of the outbreak against British rule in Ireland that widespread inquiry made concerning not only hut also the character of the society.
 The Sim Fen. Gaelic for Yourselves Alone" was organized 1905 for the regeneration of Ireland po Htcally linsuistcaly educationally and socially It's objects be accomplished by peaceful means. lt intended to embrace the aims of various other societies, some working for political reforms and others for industrial improvement While il seems no, to have been the purpose of the Sim Fein 0 become confederation of such societies as the Gaelic Union, the Industrial Development Associations etc. it always in cooperation with them in the ease of the Made Ireland" movement an eco homie and industrial movement The Sim Fein also always supported the aims of the Nationalists
 The Sim Fein organization had been identified with violent outbreaks such that of the transportation workers strike of four years headed b, James Iarkin, the syndicalst who, whether him. self Sim Feincr or has been one Of the lead of the present revolt
 It commonly understood a the time of the or llnizatou of the Sim Feu it's chief object was 10 arouse popular interest in Ireland in the Gaelic lan- auase and spread knowledge of the rich ancient l tt'iture Whlch Tor had been the posses of the comparatively Other Gaelic societies with that object in view had been in existence only n Ireland but in England and this country for many years. but these organizations small had no other aim than to reestabish the Gaelic language and literature. Indeed fl can hardly be said that they cared to popularize them to arouse wider liter ar3 interest in them
 The object of the Sim Fein was a more practi- cal one. Essentially anti Union the Sim Fein be- lieved that the Nationalist movement could best thrive the basis of national language and pride in and national literature. On that Irish Of all factions all sections and all religions might be brought together.
 Undoubtedly the Sim Fein had an early and pow crfh influence, for year following it's organiza- uon the Unionists disastrousy defeated in the general elections and that defeat dated the pro posed reforms intended to give to Ireland some measure of home rule. Earlier concessions by the liberals giving greater power to local officers pro- yidire for agraran reforms and meeting here and there certain counts in the bill of complaint against British rule in Ireland though accepted by some of he Nationalist leaders rejected by the Sim Fein as calculated to delay the coming Of genuine home rule.
 The Republic of Ireland" complete dissocia . tion from Great Britain for which existing revolt was undertaken seems not have been previously contemplated by the Sim Fen. It was an instru- ment, evidently made in Germany with which to strike Great Britain.

IN MEMORIAM.

When William Robert Williams
was called to rest on Nov. 5, 1916,
one of the best men L have ever
known went TO his reward.
He was born In Carroll coun-
ty, Tenn, March IS, 1858. In
his early days he was converted
and joined the Baptist church.
lie moved to Fulton county KY,
forty ears ago, and since thai
time has lived a quiet, peaceful,
honest life in and around here
He leaves wife and six cliil-
dren to mourn his loss, namely,
Mrs. Leroy Rumley, Noah VIII
liams, Burlie Williams, of Dyers-
burg, Mrs. J. III. PSow, Thomas
and Kitty Williams of Hickman.
After an impressive service
conducted by Rev. Spence, his
remains were laid to rest at the
city cemetery to await the resur-
rection morn.

MIR. Williams never accumu-
lated much of this worlds goods,
only a host of friends and a
good name which is rather to
be chosen than great riches.
He was a loving husband, a
kind father, an honest citizen, a
christian what more could we
sayf
However, we can not be 50
void of sympathy as to say,
grieve not for the departed one,
but weep not as those who have
no hope, but follow in his foot
steps and live with the expecta-
ton of meeting him in the eter-
nal city, where partings are no
more. And if through patient
toll we reach the land where tire

when we shall clearly see and
understand, / think that we
will say "God knew the best

1t Is said that one is bold that
gets after Mr.. Cole, and it Is said
he is a good old sole, but nothing
has not been told, for he gets SO
bold he can't be controlled when
he wants a bowl of good apple
roll.
If he gets the roll he ii pack
in the coal without being told.
If he don't get the roll he'll be-
gin to scold and say, 1 want some
hog s jowl.
If he don't get the jowl, by
Joes, he'll get up his nose and
go hoe a few rows of potatoes,
and if he finds a mole he'll get
a pole and knock it out of the
hole.
, And he'll lay down and roll
and say he's not bold for he pay
ed the toll in gold before he got
old.

IMPORTANT QUESTION.

The question whether or not
a candidate defeated in a pri-
mary has "a right to run independ
emily for the same office in the
ensuing general election is before
the Court of Appeals In a case
from Leslie county. A candidate
named Roberts was defeated for
the Republican nomination for
Commonwealth s Attorney, and
then he turns around and runs
ON the independent ticket and
defeated Napier, the nominee. Ma
pier contested the election and
lost. He now asks the higher

MORE RECORD PRICES.

The best long staple cotton sold
in Hickman last Saturday as
high as 1915 per hundred, which
is a new high level. Not within
recollection of the present gener-
alton has seed cotton brought
such a fancy price, and the trend
of prices are still upward, al
though today s quotations range
around $3.50. The staple cotton,
which is commanding the record
breaking prices, has a tendency
to open very slowly this season,
consequently there is much of 1t
in this section to be picked out
yet.
