A formal order by President Will
son, drafting $4,000 men into the
military service under the selective
draft CONSUMPTION law, was promul-
gated Friday by the war department,
together with an official allotment
showing what part of the total must
be furnished by each state and terri
tory. The only steps now remaining
are distribution by the governors of
state quotas among the local exemp-
ton districts. The great lottery will
probably be held next week to estab-
lish the order in which registrants
are to present themselves for service
or exemption. The men summoned for
service will be used to fill the regular
army and national guard to war
strength and to organize the first
100000 of the new national army. The
total Of these three forces will be L.
262,985 men. Later, another 100000
will be called out, supplemented by
sufficient men to makeup and main
tain reserve battalions. Tennessee's
quota is beyond $4,000. Upton coun-
ty, with its population of about 3d.
900, will be called upon to furnish at
least so or go mentor the first draft.

Prof. H. A. Webb, of the West Ten
nessee State Normal school, Memphis,
spoke here last week on the Health
of Our School Boys and Girls. Pa
rents and teachers, he said, must CO.
operate in preventing the many de-
fects to which our boys and girls are
subject. Statistics of the United
States government show that fully rs
per cent. of school children are defect
i've in some way. Eyes, teeth, throat,
ETC., should be intelligently inspected.
The teachers should constantly guard
against contagious diseases and pre-
vent the start of an epidemic, if pos
sible. Germs are no longer consid-
cred joke and teachers and parents
should be informed on this subject.

The people of different neighbor-
hoods in Upton county will meet at
different places on the Jefferson Davis
highway on August Z for the annual
woodworking day. It is the purpose
as usual, to grade down the hills and
do other necessary work on the high
way on that day, not only in our coun-
ty, but in every county through which
the thoroughfare runs. The Jefferson
Davis highway will probably be used
later for the movement of troops
north and south and it behooves peo-
pie living all along the line to have
the thoroughfare in good shape for
the coming of that time.

Judge of Memphis, to succeed Senator
Sam Bates, who resigned several days
ago to aid the defense in the custer
suit. Mr.. Lanier is well known in
Covington, and Upton county, where
he began his career as lawyer, and
his appointment to the city judgeship

fight, Mr. Lanier caused custer pro-
ceedings to be brought against offic-
ials in Memphis, which finally devel-
oped into a general cleaning up of the
Shelby county courts and delinquent
municipal officials Of Memphis. He is

st. Louis can boast of 9OO,692 in
habitants, according to directory fig
ures announced this week. From these
figures it is evident that st. Louis is
one Of the fastest growing cities in
the United States. Boston, Mass, an
eastern city having the advantage of
great harbor can not compete with
it in growth and expansion. st. Louis,
although north of the Mason and Dix
on line, is considered southern city
with southern ideals. The above COM
parison plainly indicates that the
South and southern resources are af-
fording better opportunities to people
seeking homes and employment.

Many of our sister county seats,
notably Brownsville, have organized
home guards and are training with as
much earnestness as if they expected
to be called to the front. More than a
hundred citizens of Brownsville have
lately signed the Home Guard pledge,
and officers of the guards have been
elected. Covington should take some
immediate steps to perfect such an
organization and not allow the move
ment in that direction started some
weeks ago to die out. In times of war,
like the present, we have no militia to
fall back on in time of fire, flood and
other calamities and a we'll trained
home guard would fill much need
ed want.

THE AMERICAN FLAG

When Freedom, from her mountain
height,
Unfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe of night
And set the stars of glory there!
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes
The milky baldric of the skies
And striped its pure, celestial white
With streakings Of the morning light
Then, from his mansion in the sum-,
She called her eagle bearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol Of her chosen landi
Majestic monarch Of the cloud!
Who rear'st aloft thy regal form,
To hear the tempest trumping loud,
And see the lightning lances driven,
When strive the warriors of the storm
And rolls the thunder drum of
heaven
Child of the SUM- to thee is given
To guard the banner of the free,
To hover in the sulphur smoke,
To ward away the battle stroke,
And bid it's blendings shine afar,
Like rainbows on the cloud of war,
The harbingers of victory!

The resignation Of DR.. Theobald Won
Bethmann-Hollw as German chan
cellor has been accepted by the kaiser.
The retiring chancellor rendered his
resignation after being unable to
master political crisis brought about
by the followers of the crown prince,
who favor peace with indemnity
and conquest. The chancellor was one
of the few German officials who op-
posed the unrestricted submarine war
fare and was anxious to maintain
friendly relations with the United
States. To succeed him, Emperor
Wilhelm appointed DR.. Geo. Michaelis,
who is in hearty accord with the kais-
er and the junker party of Germany.
1t is expected that the new chancellor
will be able to handle the present sit
uation satisfactorily to all parties for
several months to come.

Flag of the braveI thy folds shall fly,
The sign Of hope and triumph hight
When speaks the signal trumpet tone,
And the long line comes cleaning on,
Ere yet the life blood warm and wet,
Has dimmed the glistening bayonet,
Each soldiers eye shall brightly turn
To where thy sky-born glories burn,
And, as his springing steps advance,
Catch war and vengeance from the
