REPRESSION DANGEROUS.

or that city says LnaC they art

the words of Judge Cooley in his
Constitutional Limitations, say
ing that after all they remain per-
haps the "wisest words on tine
subject.
Judge Cooley said:
Repression of full and free
discussion is dangerous to any
government resting upon the will
of the people. The people cannot
fail to see that they are deprived
of rights, and will be certain to
come disconnected when their dis
cussion of public measures is
sought to be circumscribed by the
judgement of others upon their
temperance of fairness.
They must be left at liberty
to speak with the freedom which
the magnitude of their supposed
wrongs appears in their minds
to demand, and if they exceed all
the proper bounds of moderation
the consolation must be that the
evil likely to spring from the
violent discussion will probably
be less and it's correction by pub
lie sentiment more speedy than if
the terrors of the law were
brought to bear to prevent the
discussion"
What is needed" says the
World. lis not stern suppression
of all seditious and disloyal utter

Even Aaron Burr was acquitted.
The Indictment against Jefferson
Davis was quashed. All through
the Civil war there was a party
at the north which insisted on
the apprehension of those not
sympathetic with the war in that
region, and threatened that all
Confederate soldiers and officers
would be punished even with
death at the end of the war. How
much better for the country that
the ideas of Lincoln prevailed

Our courts have never permit

And yet it is certain that some
very un-American things have

TO MEET HIM?
'1*0"
90"

COMPOSED BY LUTHER L. CHAMBERS.
WHITWELL, TENN.
Come, let US work for Jesus,
While It's called today,
For when you see him coming
It'll be too late to pray.
Hellcome like thief and robber,
The hour you know not when,
Then too late. poor sinners,
For you to enter in.
If you want to be first TO meet him.
Behold, lift up your eyes,
He's coming in a cloud of glory
With the dear saints in the skies.
Now come. let's go and meet him
With our loved ones in the skies
Well meet to part, no never,
Where there'll be more good byes.
Come, kneel at the feet of Jesus,
He'll take away your sins,
And give you life eternal
With peace and joy within.
Too late, too late, poor sinners,
Too late to sing and pray
When you see the Saviour coming
To gather his saints away.
You cry for the rocks and the mountains
To hide you from his face,
Then too late, poor sinner,
TO seek his saving grace,
Today the day of salvation
Come then while you can,
May be too late tomorrow
To join the Christian band.
Get ready to meet your Saviour.
He'll come like thief at night,
Not to steal or pilfer,
But to Judge the world Alright.
He'll come when least expected,
Just as he came before,
To gather his saints to glory
To dwell for ever more.
Wake up, hard-hearted sinners,
Your soul is now at stake,
When you see the Saviour coming,
Then it will be too late.
If you knew that he was coming
Before the break of day,
| am sure you would get ready
Not moments time delay.
If you knew the thief was coming
You know you'd not delay,
But get your army ready
To drive the thief away.
You'd warn your friends and neighbors,
You'd stop him at the gate,
And if you had to Stay him
You would not hesitate.

CHEESE rPOLENTA

For a pOTridge made Of cup Of
yellow cOTnmeaI the usual allowance
of p cup, or two ounces, of grated
cheese. There is, however, no limit
to the amount Of cheese which can
be added, and the addition Of the
cheese not only tends to make a
more highly heterogeneous and nour-
ishing dish, but also to make dish
which can be eaten without the addi-
ton of butter or cream. Like the or
binary corn meal porTidge, it is often
either fried in deep fat, after having
been egged and cruhbled, or on a
creased pan.

Well Under WAY

Messrs. T. C. Sheridan, J.. V.
Rabb, W. !. Burris, Misses Nor
nah Merrett and Bulah Carter
worked steadily thru the town last
week in the interest Of the Red
Cross and while the exact result
of the canvas has not been made
public, it is reported that almost
every house in the town town is
represented on the honor list and
in many instances every member
of the family is enrolled. The
request is that a red CROSS with a
burning candle behind it, be pla.
ced in the window Christmas eve,
in every house where the whole
family is enrolled, is going to be
observed in Franklinton and it
is earnestly hoped that we may
see the cross in every home here
without exception.
Mr.. E. B. Harrel Of New Or
leans gave a talk Wednesday
night in the interest of Red Cross
which it was a privilege to hear,
for Mr.. Harrel showed his inter-
est to be deep-seated aud his in.
telligent handling Of the. subject
showed it to be matter impossi-
BILE to be evaded by the strong
minded and patriotic American,
man or woman. To be lacking
in interest and corporation in
Red Cross activities in this time
of need would argue either mex
cusable ignorance on the subject
or gross selfishness, and if there
is a Franklintonian who could be
found guilty on either count, be
honest with yourself and plead
guilty then make your Christmas
present to suffering humanity by
enrolling yonr name as a bed
Cross member.
