Err MAY HEAD-DIRECTORs' MEETING

The Board of Directors of the Col
lege holds two meetings year, the
annual meeting, at commencement
time, and the semi-annual meeting,i in
January. The semi-annual meeting
was held on last Wednesday, the
18th, with the following members
present: DR.. C. A. Duncan, DR.. W.
E. Finley, DR.. R. l. Canon, H. G.
Hutchison. M. D., Hon. J. c. Craw-
ford, Rev. J. M. Alexander, DR.. w.
R. Dawson, Hon. T. N. Brown, Rev.
T. ]. Miles, S. o. Houston, Esq, Hon.
W. A. Nc Teer, President Wilson and
Treasurer Proffitt. Rev. E. A. Ell
more, D. D., the president of the
Board, has just been on a visit
North, and was unable to be present.
DR.. Hutchison presided in his alb
sence.
One of the principal matters of
interest was the beginning, at least
on a small scale, during the coming
year, of the proposed Agricultural
Department. The Committee on
Professors and Teachers was author
lied to employ a man who should
give part of his time to the teaching
of Agriculture. The Committee will
offer this work to Coach Kiefer,
graduate in the Agricultural and Hor
ticultural Departments of the Ohio
State University, the work to be
carried on in connection with the po-
sition of Director of Athletics, which
has been offered him. 1t is earnest
ly hoped that he will accept the posi-
ton.
The Directors voted thanks to .tey-
eral friends, who have been contrib
uting pledges of stock for the college
farm and of money towards a barn
and equipment. One lady has pledg-
ed S500.00 a year towards the work.
Some of our local county farmers
and stock raisers have promised to
give valuable stock to the College.
Much interest is being manifested by
the people of the town and county
as they hear of this proposed i'm
The Board adopted a resolution of
hanks to Treasurer Proffitt for his |
work in connection with this depart
nent. The resolution is as follows:

HELP THOSE
SUFFERING
Women of the City Will Bring
Comfort to Those Whom the
Cold Weather Hits Hard.
NEED CHARITY SOCIETY
If You Know of Any Worthy
Poor Who Are Suffering, Tell
Your Pastor.

Maryville has many poor
people who are suffering from
the extreme cold. Maryville
has no organized charitable So
cietyto look after the welfare
of her suffering, as have other
towns and cities, so the wom-
ems organizations of the town
have taken it upon themselves
to help the worthy poor. They
have requested that this mater
be brought to the attention of
the public through the columns
of The Times. If you know of
some one who needs help, and
you yourself do not feel like
helping them, or are not able to
help them, notify your pastor
and he will see that help is af-
forded them.
y The plan to help the needy
is not to help those who can
find work but who do not want
to work. The plan is to sift out
the unworthy from the worthy
charity cases and help those
who are deserving. This is a
most commendable plan on the
part # the ladies, 'and should
receive the hearty cooperation
of every person in town.
1t would be we'll for a per-
charity organization to
be formed. Many need help
the entire year. They need
help to buy food, they need
help to buy clothing so their
children can go to the Sunday
school, they need help in the
study of domestic science so
they can prepare their food in
more satisfactory manner, and
they need to be taught Lessons
in hygiene and sanitation-all
these things can come through |
the charity organization, and |
it is certainly hoped such So
Getty may be formed.

MR.. S. A. PATTON
DIES SUDDENLY
Wasone of the Best Known
Business Men of MaryviIIe.
Ran Store Forty Years.

Mr.. S. A. Patton, one of the
towns best known citizens,
died suddenly at his home on
Main street Monday night. He
had been in i'll health for some
time, but his death was not ex-
pected.
Mr.. Patton was 65 years of
age, and had been in business
here forty years. He came from
lockwood. He conducted a
jewelry store, which is one of
the prettiest little stores in the
south. He had built up quite
a reputation as a watch maker
and it seemed that in his last
days his greatest regret was he
could not be at his bench
where he had labored for forty
years.
Mr.. Patton had seen the town
grow from a small village to it's
present large size, and had
been influential in it's develop
ment.
The deceased is survived by
his widow, four daughters and
one son. The daughters are:
Mrs. DeArmond of Texas Mrs.
Tom Broadly, Mrs. Hugh Jack
son and Miss Ruby Patton. The
son is Raymond Patton.
Plans for the funeral have
been delayed, pending the arri-
val of Mrs. De Almond.
The family has the sympa-
thy of thousands of friends in
this bereavement.

WOMEN
CONTROL MILLIONS

John Jacob Astor inherited a
huge estate, saddIed with the
condition that she should not
take another husband and still
enjoy the fruits of the Astor
fortune. In marked contrast
with this situation the Harri-
man will placed the widow in
actual control of $4,000 miles
of railroad, gave her a domi-
mating voice in the manage
ment of $4,000 miles more and
made her the chief influence
in the handling of 1000 miles
of sea routes.
Mrs. Sage was also given
the custody of her millions
without a string. The will
gave her, without let or hind
rance, the millions that she has
locked up in Wall Street. 1t
did not require any act of law
or any gracious act of man to
make Mrs. Hetty Green the
mistress of her destiny. She
inherited $1,OOO,OOO from her
father, the late Edward Robin
son, and an aunt added $4,000
900 later. But Mrs. Green
made the bulk of her estate
and went into the marts of mon
ey. There she became a daily
worker, and no man ever kept
with more care nor added to
her wealth with more zeal
than she who both kept her es-
tate and increased it.

opment of a college farm and of the
proposed Agricultural Department

College, escaped without very serious
injury from the railroad accident in
whichspthers lost their lives; and that
it express again it's hearty apprecia-
tion Of the extraordinary service be-
ing rendered the College by Miss
Henry in her unending campaigns of
addresses and correspondence.
The action that provided for the
dropping Of the Eighth Grade next
year Is as follows:
Tks0Sthe Eighth Grade be dropped
at the close of the current year, in
accordance with the established poll
cy Of the College to drop off the low

make it possible so to do
|1thse tnio','F li' 80 cur constituency.
Appropriate action was taken pre-
paratory to the launching of the
great effort to raise the Centennial
Forward Fund for 1919.
Several of the directors accompan-
led the treasurer in a walk over the
fields that are to be devoted to the
Department and the col
lege farm, and were enthusiastic re-
garding the possibilities of the de-
partment.
The Directors were pleased to
know that the attendance was the lar
gest that has ever been gathered at
the College, and that the esprit de
corps of the student body seems so
and worthy.

More than $1,OOO,OOO,OOO
of wealth is actually in the
hands of American women, if
the best statistics are trustwor-
thy, and As of them alone di-
rect, manage and hold the
purse strings of more than
$720,000,000. Nearly every
state in the United States
has its rich women, known To-
caly, and yet utterly unknown
to the newspaper readers of
that their combined holdings
go we'll over the $1,000,000,-
900 mark, and that the potent
element of the situation is that
influence over big business of
the nation. The mails are ov-
erfowing with letters to the
great women of the money
from professional beggars, but
a vast majority are earnest ap-
peals for help.
Chief among the women who
hold the reins upon money is
Mrs. Mary Hartman. 1t took
Edw. H. Hartman less than
100 words-99, to be exact
to transfer his entire estate to
his wife without the slightest
restriction as to what she
should or should not do with
it. There have been many cas-
es of inheritance where no such
free hand was given. and they
have not been included in this
schedule. For instance, Mrs.

far announced themselves as
candidates for sheriff and one
for the office of tax assessor.

TO HELP EVERY FARMER
Question Will be Presented at
April Term of the County
Court.

Blount county should GER
tainly take advantage of the
opportunity offered her to
share in the funds provided by
the state and federal govern
ments for her farms. This op-
portunity comes from the pro-
vision of money to augment the
salary of an expert agricultur-
al agent who will spend all of
his time in this county helping
farmers to solve their soil
problems, live stock problems,
and other worries that come
from lack of technical know
ledge which experts have ac-
quired through long study and
experimentation.
At the October term of court
action on this matter was de-
ferred until the January term.
At the January term nothing
was done, as those agitating
the movement believed it
would be wise to wait until the
April term Something should.
