MOTHERS, WIVES, SWEET
HEARTS Weep AS BOYS GO.
Many Heart Rendins Scenes Enacted as the
Boys Gather at the Depot to Depart
For Military Camp.
MANY BID BRAVE BOYS GOD-SPEED

A crowd estimated at 1000 peo-
ple, from all parts of the county as.
sembled in Dresden on last Satur-
day to bid the soldier boys goodbye
and God-speed.
One hundred and one Of the
Weakley county quota left here Sat
urday afternoon at 4:16 for Camp
Gordon, near Atlanta, Ga. After
remaining there for an indefinite pc
Rod it is presumed they will be trans
terred to other camps. III \
Many sad and heart-rending seem
es were enacted at the depot. Es-
pecially did loved ones give vent to
their emotions as the train pulled out
bearing its burden of precious
freight. Some of the young wives
who had remained brave up to that
moment broke down and tainted as
the train bore away their husbands,
and sympathizing friends joined with
the grief stricken young wives in
their SORROW by shedding tears
Truly, it was the saddest occasion
ever witnessed in Dresden. In the
former contingent no married mer
were included, but in this one there
were about 90 married men.
Mr.. Chas. KillgOre, of Palmers
vile, was appointed captain over the
bunch of 101 men.
Before leaving each boy had hi
picture made and signed his name
in book, both to be kept here fol
future reference and as history
Each boy also was presented
handsome safety razor, the gift o.
Mr.. HarreIl Moran. The materia
for the comfort kits did not reacl
here, going to some other Red eros
chapter, but the ladies of the loca
Red Cross chapter assure us thes
comfort kits will be made, filled AM
forwarded to the boys as soon a
possible.
Up to this time 235 boys hav
gone from this county, leaving
balance Of 40 in all to 60, "a of thes
to be negroes, besides the physica
failures at Camp Gordon, which WI
A have to be made up. So far onl
three have failed at Camp Gordon
in all to leave hereafter there WI
probably be something near fifty.

AID FOOD PLEDGE
CARD CAMPAIGN

The food card campaign is not
progressing as rapidly as we would
like to see it. However, many pa
triotic men and wamen are working
hard and we expect yet to reach our
goal of $500 cards signed for the
county. Some people seem to think
that if they signthe cards it will in
some way involve them in the war
Now, nothing could be more erro-
neous. Why, the government just
wants the ones who are not regis
tered for army service, and those
who are registered, but not taken in
the army, to aid those who are fight
ing by saving a little food for the
army and the armies of the nations
fighting with us. 1t is simply vol
untary promise you sign and you are
only morally bound to carry it out
The pledge is even conditioned so il
cannot prejudice you by stating thai
you will aid the government in the
conservation of food in so far a!
"your circumstances will permit.
Our boys are going to fight fol
their country and let US do some lit
tie service by cooperating with on,
government in this important cam
paign and thereby save our boys il
every way possible.
Cards will be at all schoolhouse
and country stores and rural tele
phone exchanges, etc. All school
not in session will keep their card
and have them presented by thei
students the early part of next week
Thanking you all for your co-ope
ration in this great move, beg t.
remain,
Yours for good service,
RI. SUDDATH,
Chm'n. Council of Defenes.

Upon reading the above article
we asked Col. Holiday for a state
ment of his side of the matter, which
he consented to give, after consult
ing his attorney, Judge R. E. Maiden.
Besides Judge Maiden, Mr.. Holiday
will be represented by Hon. Root.
A. Elkins and Hon. Caruthers Ew-
ing.
Here is what Mr.. Holiday has to
say relative to the matter: .
"In August, 1916, another attor-
ney called me to assist in defense of
Alvin Hampton and Doss Bateman
before United States Commission
err at Huntingdon, charged with max
ing and selling whiskey. The ques-
ton of attorneys fees came up and
we were paid for services rendered
there, and the matter of cOmpensa-
ton for future services reserved un'
til later meeting.
"In the early part of October
1916, Bateman, Hampton and 9th
ers and myself met at the office Of
Attorney Presson at Hollow Rocl

cussed and the matter of attorneys

Col. L. E. Holiday Pleads Not Guilty to the
Charges Preferred Against Him by
Convicted Bootlegger,
U.S. MARSHAL SERVES NOTICE ON HIM

The following article appeared in
last Sundays Tennessean as spe-
cial from Memphis:
Lake Erie Holiday, of Dresden,
well known in Tennessee as a poll
tician and attorney, has been order
ed to appear in the United States
district court at Memphis on the
fourth Monday in April, 1918, and
"show cause why his name should
not be stricken from the rolls of the
court as a practicing attorney" A
copy of the order has been served
on Holiday by deputy United
States marshal.
The order, issued by Judge John
E. Mccall, is based on charges
brought out at Jackson, Oct. o.
when Holiday, as attorney for Doss
Bateman and Alvin Hampton charged
with operating a lincolnshire" still
is said to have entered a plea OF
Iguilty for Hampton against Hamp-
toms instructions, thereby making q
favorable court decision for Doss
Bateman. Hampton, according tC
the charges, maintained that he was
innocent of the indictment against
him, and said he wanted trial, sc
he could prove his innocence.
1t is claimed that, while Holiday
was in the employ of Hampton, as hi
attorney, he went to United States
District Attorney Kyser and "com
municated to him certain cOnfiden
tial facts relative to a conversation
with Hampton" This, it is charged
was done to gain leniency or releas'
for the defendant, Doss Bateman
1t is charged that Holiday told Mr.
Kyser that Hampton was guilty o:
the charges made against him, ant
that if government revenue mer
would agree to 60 with Doss Bate
man, he would lead them to an al
legged distillery being operated by
Hampton.
After divulging these facts to thu
United States district attorney, it il
charged, Holiday continued to rep
resent Hampton before the fedora
court, for which he accepted a fee
After Judge Mccall had been &C
quainted with the case he set aside
Hampton's plea of guilty and order
ed Mr.. Kyser and T. A. Lancaster tt
make further Investigations. Thei
probe has resulted in the courts or

his part of the fee and continued us
in his employment. Alvin Hampton
refused to secure his proportion, said
he would not pay it and would ar
range for an attorney elsewhere; in
formed Attorney Presson and myself
that we were discharged and dis
missed from the case so far as he
was concerned and left the meeting.
81 heard no more from Alvin
Hampton and his connection with,
the case had almost passed out of
my mind until Oct. 81, 1917, full
year afterward
"At the Oct. term, 1916, the dis
trict court sitting at Jackson jointly
indicted Doss Bateman, Alvin Hamp-
ton and Lon Hampton for making
whiskey, and indicted Bateman and
Alvin Hampton, jointly, for selling
whiskey, and Lon Hampton, individ'
ually, for selling whiskey. Hamp-
ton was i'll, and upon affidavits, pre-
sented by his father, all the cases
we're continued until the April term,
1917. In the mean time, Doss Bate
man had been. convicted in the cir
cult court of Henderson county for
violating the fOur-mile law. The
same witnesses testified against hlp
there as had been summoned to APP
pear in the District court. Bateman
was convicted and sentenced to six
months in the workhouse and to pay
fine of $50 and costs, and was IN
Jail serving his sentence when the
District court met in April, 1917.
Owing to his absence the District
court continued all of the cases
against the HamptOns and Bateman

THE TRAINING OF AIRMEN
BY ]. G. Gilpatric.

Almost every one has seen an
aeroplane in flight. but with the
present day layman, the interest is
centered more on the airman than
on the machine with which he does
his flying. Naturally, the first ques-
ton is, How did he learn to fy?"
or necessity. the pioneers Of avia-
ton taught themselves the then d.
ficult and dangerous art. and all the
airmen In the world today owe their
flying ability to the Wrights, Bleriot
and others Of the men who went be-
fore. There are flying today a num-
Der OF airmen who entered the game
in the early stages. and who. by
luck and perseverance. mastered the
art with very little outside assistant
ce. These men were without more
than rudimentary idea OF the very
principles OF fight, and later realiz-
ed the dangers they had undergone;
they knew that the average person
could scarcely survive a self-admin-
istered course in airmanshlp. Avia-
7 tion had come 10 stay, and a num-
/ Der OF firms started regular schools
in which the knowledge OF the ear
lier experimenters could be dissem-
mated among the ever growing num-
Der OF enthusiasts.
There are three basic methods OF
teaching fiying-the so-cailed Fren-
CHI system, the dual-controi system.
and a combination OF the two large
ly used today for training war pilots.
The French system was the first in
general use, and consisted in teach
ing oneself to fly by constant criti-
cism. advise, and demonstration OF
a competent pilot instructor. The
pupil was given heavy, low-power-
ed, and worn-out machine incapable
OF hying-usualy called a "taN"---
and was given practice in running
the machine on the ground. In this
way he accustomed himself to- the

speed of an aeroplane, the incessant
roar of the motor, and the use Of
the controls. When the pupil could
run down the field in perfectly
straight line and do it consistently
he was given hops"
Hops" were made on a machine
slightly better than the taxi, and
consisted in making short jumps ac-
ross the field at height of four or
five feet. This was the most trying
part Of the entire course, as at this
point smashes were most likely to
happen. If the pupil misjudged his
height from the ground, or in his
enthusiasm tried to stretch his hop
into a sustained fight, the ending
was usually disastrous. But IL he
went about matters sensibly, he
would soon be promoted to straights,
or flights in a straight line, about
half a mile long. The usual height
in this work was 25 or 80 feet from
the ground
The dual control system teaches
wholly by demonstration and prac-
tice in actual air work. A high
powered machine fitted with dupli-
cate controls is used, and the pupil
starts by riding with the instructor
and watching him work. By simp.
ly resting his hands and feet on the
controls the novice can feel the
amount of motion necessary to hand
lie the machine. Gradually, the
! machine is given over to the pupi
the pilot being ever on the aler
to correct his mistakes and to dem
onstrate new points. AS the pupi
becomes more and more skillful, tn,
pilot requires harder evolutions.
The writer believes in actual,
demonstrating every condition tina
may cause the pupil a smash wheI
he finally flies alone, and the rem
edies to employ should such condi
| lions arise. When this work is don,
