BASEBALL DISPLACES BULLET
civilizing Influence Of Americas Great
National Game Makes Itself Felt
In Venezuela

A company has been formed to
erect baseball grandstand at Cara
cas-. Now that simple statement con-
tains another proof of how American
infuence is permeating the far quar-
tiers of the world, diffusing the great
blessings of civilization among the
outlanders and doing good for all,
observes the Omaha Bee.
Young men from Venezuela came
to this country for education and
took the game home with them. Its
seed fell on fertile soil and now it is
the national game. The humble citi-
zen, who not 80 many years ago
found his amusement as well as his
occupation in trying to keep track Of
who was president and lodging the
lethal missiles promiscuously loosed
by the contending factions of the
perpetual revolution, gets his joy in
listening to the crack of the home
run or the smack of the swiftly
driven ball into the glove of the
fielder.
The technical language Of the
game IS purely American, but what
is said to the umpire is usually
couched in unadulterated Venezue-
Ian, tongue unsurpassed for its OBJ
jurgatory potentiality. If we can
keep them playing baseball we will
probably not have to defend them
soon from irate European creditors,
as we have had to do several times in
the past.

MARTYRS BLOOD IN VEINS
American Descendant Of Man Who
Died for His Belief In England,
Fighting on Flanders Front

Something more than three and a
half centuries ago Rev. John Rog-
ers died a martyr in England for his
religious beliefs. SO bravely did he
20 to his death that his friend Brad
ford said:
'TValiantly did he break the ice"
into a new world of thought.
Young John L. Rogers Of Phila-
delphia is the twelfth generation
from the martyr, and for two years
he has been fighting with the Ameri-
can Legion in Flanders, writes Cir
ard in the Philadelphia Public Led
ger. In his last letter home to his
father, Joseph Rogers, widely known
as an editor and author, this young
soldier said they had just got the
news of Americas entrance into the
war.
1--WE put up the American flag and
our band played Yankee Doodle, ,"
he said, and then added this:
"Tell the American boys to come
on over. The water is fine"
And he is Juggling upon his back
80 pounds of accoutrement while
serving his gallant battery. But he
declares he does it as easily as he
used to carry his overcoat, SO splen-
did has been the physical training.
That is the sort of stuff martyrs
descendants are made of.

HISTOR Y
Morgan County
From its Formation down to
>A,e present day

1t is the purpose of the autho
of this sketch, before confining de
tailed history to the territory now
embracing Morgan County to give
a preliminary statement and de-
scription of the early history Of
Tennessee, and especially East Ten
essee.
1t is we'll known among students
of history of the early discoverie;
and explorations of this country,
that 80 far as ascertainable, the
body of men led by DeSoto were
the first white men to traverse
what is nov Tennessee soil and it
is supposed that as stated by Mar.
tins Louisiana that "the width of
the streams, the number and the
extent of their islands, and the
names of some of the villages and
other localities mentioned in the
accounts given of DeSoto's march
es have led to the belief that he may
have visited the southern part of
what is now East Tennessee. and
that turning west he crossed and
recrossed the Tennessee River, and
the theory of the same writer is
that DeSoto may have passed thro
Tennessee and into Kentucky.
However may il be hoped that at
this present age nothing may be
made a boast of the exploits of this
explorer, for while in his exploits
history was being made, yet the
spirit of adventure. that impelled
him was not and can not be made
the object of commendation by
those having the proper sense of
Justice to humanity.

ton, conquest or discovery, arose,
especially between the countries Of
England, France and Spain; Eng
land claiming greater portion Of
the main land of North America
through and by virtue of its pio-
neer explorers, beginning with the
Cabots, France lying claim on 'ac-
count of it's LaSalles, Marq#ettes
and Juliettes.; Spain by wirtese, of
the explorations and discoveries Of
DeSoto, Ponce DE Leon, and 9th
ers.
The ultimat, result of such con-
tlicting claims, brought on troub Q
between the countries mentioned
and ended as between France and
England in the termination of the
French and Indian war, and the
treaty of peace in 1863, which Sc
cured to Great Britian the right of
territorial sovereignty to the coun-
try east of the Mississippi; later
settlement was made between Eng
land and Spain and ever afterward
until the termination of the Amer.

only sovereignty claiming the teri.

With the treaty of peace entered
into between England and the In

it is chiefly matter of specula-
tiOn.
However it is barely probable
that the pioneer, Daniel Boone,
in his explorations near
to, if not through the present terri
tory of Morgan County; we find
DR. Ramsey, authority for the fol
owing:
"Daniel Boone, who still lived|on
;he Yadkin. though he had prev
ously hunted the western waters,
,ame again this year, (l764) to ex-
'lore the country, being employed
or this purpose by Henderson Il
20. With him came Samual Gallo
way, his kinsman, and Sthe ances-
or of the respectable family Of
hat name, pioneers of Tennessee,
kentucky and Missouri.
Galloway was at the side of Boone
'hen approaching the spurs of the
cumberland Mountain and in view
f the vast herd of buffalo grazing
n the valleys between them, he ex.
Il am richer than the
IAN mentioned in scripture, he
wned the cattle on thousand hills
own the wild beasts of more than
thousand vallies."
Tradition among some of the
arlier settlers and pioneers was
lat Boone Camp Greek Common
called Boone camp WHOLLY with
Morgan county, derived it's
anne because Daniel Boone camp
| on it while journeying through
lie mountains; this, however, is

listed it is now unknown to us.
