Nashville Home
John, the three year old son
of Rev. and Mrs. ]. w. Little,
was painfully injured Friday
while playing on pile of cross
ties. In some manner the little
fellow pulled a cross tie down
and it fell across his body in
tlicting large bruises. 1t is not
known how serious the injuries
will prove to be.
Messrs. ]. E. Bailey and ]. T.
Belk have purchased the plant
of the Nashville Manufacturing
Company from Mr.. Marian
Tucker and will continue to op-
crate it at the same old stand.
They will probably make an
effort to get a siding from the
main railroad track extended to
their plant and will manufac-
ture roofing and other lumber
for shipping. These gentlemen
are experienced lumber men and
will doubtless make splendid
success of this enterprise.
1t is rather amusing to listen
to the vast amount of talk and
opinions in regard to the war
situation. Some young fellows
have gotten their fighting blood
up and want to join the army or
navy; others would like to join
if it were not for leaving their
families, while one youth sug
gests that he believes in flying
the American flag and suggests
that if you want to see the flag
fly sure enough, just tie one to
his coat tail and send recruit
ing officer after him.
Thomas B. Reed and COM
panion went TO a club in Port
land one evening, hung their
coats in the cloakroom and
spent the evening talking poll
tics. When they went to get
their overcoats. on leaving,
Reeds friend thrust his hand in
the pocket for his gloves, and
pulled out a pocketbook, which
someone had put there by mis-
take.
What shall [ do?" he asked
Mr.. Reed.
THAT'S all right" said Reed.
Keep the pocketbook and set
the coat again. Well 20 back

Why Not?

Pageland is a town we'll laid
off and should grow to be con-
siderable place. 1t is fortunate
in its location, having good,
extensive territory from which
to draw ITS trade. 1t would be a
good location for manufacturing
establishments. One of the
pressing needs of the town is an
electric lighting plant. Why
should we not have one? 1t does
not cost a great deal to install
one and the benefit derived from
such an establishment would be
great. The appearance of the
town would be very materially
improved. Strangers coming
and going would form a better
opinion of our town and would
be more inclined to locate
among us. Mr.. Editor. let us
begin to agitate this important
subject | believe it would take

uniforms free of cost. quite a
consideration for students who
are often hard pressed for
cash, and in addition certain
classes of students are to be
paid $100 year by the govern
ment. The reason for this is
found in the fact the military
instruction given is of value to
the government. The students
drill each day. under West
Point instruction. and the train
ing given is equivalent, as far
as it goes, to that secured in
the army.
Young men not called by the
draft and who for any reason
feel they should not enlist at
this time may combine educa-
ton with patriotism by attend
ance at school where such in

IN RUSSIA

~ OLLOWING news of the
complete failure of the
~ attempted revolt by Kor-
niloff. the would-be man-on-
horseback in Russia comes the
announcement that the repub-
lie of Russia has been officially
proclaimed. 1t marks progress
towards the stability of demo-
cratic government in that great
country. If the Russians as a
people were dissatisfied with
with the revolution they would
have taken up with Korniloff's
move. He had the prestige OF
being the head of the army and
beyond question he had the
backing of many belonging to
what might be termed the Rus
sian torv element. But the
Korniloff revolt collapsed COM
pletely. The obvious answer
is that Russia does not wish to
90 back to cZarism or to die
tatorship of any sort. The peo-
pie desire political freedom.
They deserve it and the cause
of the allies in the war against
Germany will be strengthened
if democracy prevails in Rus
sia. A democratic nation may,
as a war maker, be handicap
ped in some respects, but IN the
end it generally produces re-
suits that Justify democracy. 1t
IS significant that the dem Ocrat'
ic countries Of the earth arc
now steadily growing stronger
in 4 military sense while the
autocratic power against which
they fight grows weaker daily.
Russia as a democracy may
be slower getting into action
than was the former despOtic
government but with the people
themselves enlisted in the cause
their work will be more cOntin-
uous and steadfast. It will be
recalled that in a military way
the old despotism accomplish
ed but little.

TO FIX RETAIL COAL
PRICES

NJ HE Fuel Administration
VI authorizes the following
Arrangements are rap
idly reaching conclusion
which will enable the Fuel Ad-
ministration to make an an
nouncement concerning the
price of coal at the retail deal
ers and for small manufactur-
ing plants which have relied
upon "spot" coal.
Before the end of the pres
ent month prices will be an
nounced. It may be necessary
to make them tentative, as in
the case of the prices fixed for
coal at the mines.
Local committees will be
asked to investigate and report
upon costs. It is obvious that
these will vary considerably
between localities and between
city and country districts. Care
will be taken to include all
items which ought to be includ-
ed for there is no disposition
on the part of the Fuel Admin
istration to deprive the local
dealer of his fair measure of
profit.
In this connection, Mr.. Gar
field called attention to the
rule governing the appointment
of local committees by the state
fuel administrators now being
chosen. Leading citizens Of
ability will be placed upon the
committee but the rule states
that local dealers are excluded.
Thi4 is with no purpose to dis
credit the local dealers. They
are as patriotic and reliable as
anv other class of citizens. The
rule is made rather to save
them from the kind of embar-
.rassment that inevitably arises
when men are called upon to
pass judgment upon others in
their own line of business and
to pass upor conditions which
are intimately concerned with
their own livelihood.
Although there is a shortage
of cars and of labor Mr.. Gar
field states that by cooperation
between Judge LOvett of the
Priority Board, the Interstate
F. Commerce Commission, and
Others, vested with power over
transportation, cars can be
had. He. himself. has power
to apportion and distribute the
coal.
John P. White, president Of
the United Nira Workers has

tion TO act as one Of his advis-
eTs.
