SAVE THE LANDS.

The Enterprise wants to add its
hearty endorsement and approval
to the move launched here last
week BY Judge Maiden for the
formation ola Weakley county land
reclamation society or club, having
for its purpose the reclamation OF
the thousands Of acres of worn.out,
washed gully lands in WeakIey
county, especially central and'east'
ern portions Of the county.
There has been no move put on
foot in this community in many a
day that ought to receive more
hearty cooperation than this one,
and the Enterprise wants the farm
ers to know that this paper will do
it's share toward furthering the
ends OF the move. All over many
sections OF the country will be
found large, abandoned acres Of
red, washed, gullev lands; lands
that not 80 very many years ago
were fertile and produced excellent
crops, but today, through poor
system OF cultivation are absolutely
worthless in their present state;
aud this is the object OF the move
launched by Judge Maiden-to re-
store the fertility to the lands. This
can be done at no cost to the own
ers--a little labor is all that is re-
quired.
Besides the increased value to
the farm resulting from the recla'
nation OF these quilted lands there
lis the matter Of civic pride to be
considered. This is an age when
appearances count for much more
than many Of US may, perhaps
realize. Therefore, while reclaim
ling the gully lands, why not make
the organization more extensive
and reclaim the fronts to so many
of our farm homes which have
been allowed to wash and become
unsightly? This can be economical
" done by a little grading with 9
team, pillow and ''push-billy" and
the planting Of bermuda grass or
j, honey. suckle.
There ought to be a more gener-
al spirit Of civic pride manifest
among our people. II one-tentt
part Of the idle time we're devoted
to identifying the home premises,
the planting Of shade trees, a few
rose bushes or other shrubberS
in very short span of years
Weakley county could be made
the most delightful place under
!. the sun to reside. The Enterprise
wants to see a County Beautiful
as we'll as a "Toen Beautiful, ,
But whether we a. ampt this o.
, not, let all farmers lend their en-
couragement to the move to re
claim the WORKOUT lands in thi
| county. Mr.. Maddox will b
} glad to assist in any way he can

LOOKING YEARS AHEAD.

Another ten years will see
national road systems covering
every section Of the countryside
greatest practical step in the d.
rection Of preparedness that could
ia made" comments DR.. H. M.
Rowe, the president Of the Ameri'
can Automobile association.
In a decade we will begin to
have seperate roads for freight
traffic and passenger traffic" pre-
diets DR.. Rowe, land the horse
and mule will have practically
disappeared. No other country
ton the face Of the earth can make
such good and profitable use Of
good roads as the United States
of America. We will eventually
excel in that as We do in many
other things,
but equal justice and fair
treatment, for the users OF motor
vehicles, must continue to be
sought for some time to come.
Everything the motorists ask tor,
everything the American Auto
mobile association and the clubs
affiliated with it have worked for,
has been based on these principles
We have worked fer good roads
for the reason that they are OF equal
ecconomic benefit in the final
analysis to all, and it is only Just
and right that the people OF our
country should have the advant-
ages to which they are entitled. We
have worked for unrestricted IN
tercourse between the states
through the use OF motor cars,
because that is a constitutions
right that has been denied US,
We have asked for equal taxation
That is another constitutional
right that has been set aside
partly because we submitted to i
willingly, / admit, but it is al
injustice and constitutes unfall
treatment just the same.
I'm addition, the owners o
motorcars are being subjected
to all sorts Of petty annoyances
special taxes, licenses, and rule
and regulations regarding traffic
Y use Of light, and MANY restric
tions seldom alike in two places
and which subject decent mel
and women to arrest and con
viction, often for the most trivia
reasons. There are many VIII
look upon an arrest OF any kim
as a disgrace, and when one i
innocent Of any intentional wrong
his arrest becomes a shameful
disgrace, not only to him but upol
the community which permits it

EASTERN. CONTROL FREE.

The entire South and West
democrats and republicans alike
should congratulate one another
upon the reelection OF Mr.. Wilson
to the presidency, if, for no other
reason, than that the country has
elected president free from East
ern-NeW York-control. This
one fact is especially gratifying
to the South and the West, and
Tennessee right gladly adds her
dozen electrol votes to those that
90 to make up the election of this
wonderful statesman.
The country had come to believe
that New York, the center OF
wealth, the center Of population and
the center Of big men and big
things, must be counted upon in the
choosing of a president OF the
United States. This idea was es-
pecially deep rooted in the minds
Of New Workers. and fasteners
who look to the powerful metropO-
| lis for almost all things. This,
too, used to be the nationwide
idea, but the past thirty.odd years
the South and the West have
progressed.
But there's a new dawnl VIZ
are entering upon new rea, anC
the South and the West are com
ing into their own. They have
elected a president-a man OF the
great common people. Therefore
it is repeated, all men Of these
great sections can rejoice togeth
or in the reelection OF Presiden
Wilson.
1t is freely predicted that Ions
4 time will have elapsed before thu
country elects another republican
president, and that in the not ia
distant future New York will b.
found in the democratic column
We don't know about this. M
one can ioretell what will happier
politically. But the fact remains
that the powerful old republican
marty is on the wane. The presen
administration OF President Wilson
has got SO close to the people tina
they are going to stick to the oil
ship that has steered them clea
Of war and panics and brough
about the greatest wave OF pros
perity known to present or pas
generations. Measures during th
past four years have been enacte,
!, into national law that have pu
| the farmer and the laborer wher
] he rightly belongs. The bankin
system has been so changed III
der the Wilson administrator
that Wall Street cannot dictate th
n oney interests of the country

An IdoI,s Long Sleep.

In Pegu may be seen a sentry
keeping guard over a Burmese idol.
The Burmese believe the idol is
asleep and that when he awakes the
end of the world will come. The
sentry is there to prevent any one
from entering the pagoda, which is
his place Of repose, and awakening
him. His slumbers have lasted 5000
Years.
