COL WATTERSON FLAYS A
SMALL SOUTHERNEIR

Louisville, KY, Oct. Col. Henry
Watterson, famous editor of the Louis
vile CourierJournGl, has no patience
with small Southerners, with that
large number who are so provincial
that they can discuss nothing except
the Negro, and the provincial question
of the South. He has just paid his
respects to Senator Morris Sheppard
of Texas in this peppery style:
1t is matter of common observa-
ton that the debates in Congress are
not very enlightening. But when the
average Congressional spouter gets on
to a religious text, or a moral topic,
he fairly emulates the Dutchman who
every spring bored holes in his eel
lar door, as he said, ito let the dark
ness out" The latest example of this
is Senator Morris Sheppard, of Texas,
who believes in pumping virtue into
the people by legislative process.

to be loyal for am aware that there
is no such loyalty in any race as
there is in the American Negro. You
are soon to go in training and from
thence to the battlefields of France

The imperial German government
has branded us as towards, they
challenged us to war, they insulted

upon our flag. We were patient and
gave the Kaiser a chance to retract,
but he would not. Now we accept
his challenge to war and send him
word, we are coming one hundred

to bring no reproach upon your race

GOVERNOR ISSUES
PROCLAMATION
Fire Prevention Day, Tuesday, OctO-
Der 9-Make PFemeSiS Safe:
MOVE INRLAMABLR MATTER

When we are reminded OF the fact
that, perhaps. so per cent Of all the
fires of the United States can be
traced to carelessness, and remember
that because of this want OF ordinary
care, thoughtfulness and prudence
upon the part of our people, the loss
occasioned by fires in our State in
the year of 1916 amounted to s3,444,-
203, and in the United States for the
same year, $214,530,995, we have q
very forcible object lesson Of the need
and necessity OF education along lines
looking to fire prevention.
This Is especially true in times like,
this when our country Is staggering
under the crushing weight of g.
worlds war crisis, which of necessity
will tax our resources to the very
limit in order to meet, as we must
and will, the extra burdens and ad-
ditional duties and demands thrust
upon a patriotic people who are eager
and anxious to render all needed and
necessary aid for the successful pro-
secution of the war, not OF conquest
! but for humanity.
in this connection ] want to most
| heartily commend the insurance COM
! panies, especially the underwriters
associations, for the unstinted, gem
erous and effective services their
representatives have and are render
ing the people of the State by their
hearty cooperation with the Fire IRE
vention Department in this important
work, and | bespeak for them and the
| State authorities so engaged In this =
work the hearty and sympathetic CO
operation of the people of the entire
| State in the splendid efforts they are
making for the preservation of our
natural resources and the prevention
of waste OF life and property.
Therefore, following the custom es-
tablished of commemorative the an
niversary of the great Chicago ire
by turning ii into an occasion when
means may be taken to check so much
useless waste, I, Tom g. Rye, GoV>
ernor do hereby proclaim,
Tuesday, October 9th, as Fire Pre-
vention Day and urgently suggest the
proprietv of our people removing IN
9ammahle material from their houses
and premises where it might en-
danger same; inspect heating and
lighting apparatus; that lectures be
given in public schools and teachers
Give fire drills and superlntendents
of factories and department stores CO.
operate with the numerous inspectors
Of the Underwriters Associations ana
the State Department OF Fire Pre-
vention, to the end that the enormous
annual waste from unnecessary nrsa
may be materially reduced.
In testimony whereof, l have mere
unto set my hand and caused the

Friday at three p. m, a large crowd
gathered at the Baptist Church OF
Hartman, to attend the Memorial Ser
vices of the late Prof. T. T. Ransom,
NJ. w. G. c. and other members who
fell during the past year. Many
beautiful traits in the life and char
acter of Prof. Ransom were referred
to, showing he had given much time
energy and money to make the Mu>
tual Aid Association great organ
ization for good in the State of Ten
nessee. One of Prof. Ransom's fav-
orite hymns-"I hear a song song
so sweet"-was rendered as solo in
these memorial services, which was
very effective indeed.

Mutual Aid Society was held also
at the Baptist Church Friday night
at 1880 o'clock. A large crowd ASSN

There will be absolutely no diff

Royal Flying Corps unit the wonder fully effective branch of the British army it now is. was flying over the German lines with an observer busily engaged in obtaining important photo graphs, he was attacked by an enemy airplane. Instead of immediately att tacking the opposing plane as it's pilot hoped he would do, he continued his assigned task until the required photo graphs had been obtained, then turn cd upon his pursuer with d burs: of machine gun fire disabled his machine. and sent him down. This incident is one of the many showing the marvel ous morale that can be developed in It is on account of the high personal requirements of the kind indicated desira blc to permit no man to fly who does not possess the qualifications of an officer The American air pilot is
 e fashioned after the British pilot in this respect; in other words, every American flyer will be an officer.
 An officer is a man who is expected to obey orders and display judgment at the same time. His responsibilities are great. For example, it takes six months to properly train flying Otli- cer His training and machine have cost the government about twenty five thousand dollars when he gets to the firing line. Hence, single error in judgment can cost his country the whole amount invested. in addition to his life and his value to the army to which he belongs. The two hundred men now in the important school for military aeronautics in the United States have thus a minimum dcstruc- tive power of five millions of dollars. Lord Kitchener has said that one good air pilot Is the equivalent of an army corps for effectiveness in the field. While this is perhaps not strictly true
