comport with the threats already
made, and they ruthlessly sacrifice
the lives of American citizens, there
is no doubt but that it will result in
a declaration of war and the COM
mencement of hostilities on the part
of this country.
1t is our opinion that Germany will
avoid this crisis as long as possible,
or perhaps until the blunder of some
submarine captain brings the matter
to head. The fact Of German u
boat commander recently firing five
shots at the American tanker West
wego, none of which took effect, seems
to justify the opinion that there is
considerable bluff about their pres
ent attitude. They no doubt think
that by the sinking Of a few neutral
vessels they can brighten the others
out of the area embraced in their pre-
scribed war zone, and thus prevent
supplies from reaching Great Britain
and France.
In the mean time the Government
of this country is rushing with all
speed defense plans calculated to
place us in better condition in the
event Of war being declared. Appro-
priation measures and other legisla-
ton is also being speeded through
Congress to give President Wilson a
free hand and make him master of the
situation.
The statement is attributed to Ger
many that before the United States
can raise an army to engage in the
war, it will be over and she will
have her enemies vanquished. In this
Germany is, without question, forget
ting to reckon with her host, and she
will" find that while your Uncle Sam
uel is a very peacable individual, it is
dangerous to goad him too far. And
his imperial highness is likely to get
an exhibition Of Yankee ingenuity and
Yankee grit.
If Germany has presumed on ac-
count Of our peaceful proclivities that
Yankees are lacking in nerve and
courage, they have only to investi.
gate and they will find that already
10000 or more Of the citizens of this
country are doing duty in the trenches
of the allies. And If fifty or sixty
thousand Americans will volunteer t.
fight the battles of other nations how
long would it take to raise formid
able army to protect our own homes
and interests?
Furthermore, the United States ha
come to be one of the foremost manu-
facturers of arms and war munitions
and with the greater part Of the gol'
Of the world at her command she cal
very quickly develop formidable ma
wy and land defenses. If German,
compels the United States to ally her
self with England, France and Russia
there will be no serious doubt as T.
the outcome Of the war and the pc
sition which Germany and Austria will
occupy at the close Of hostilities.
At the same time all good American
citizens will hope and pray that wa
may be averted, and that America
example to the world will be for al
everlasting peace, rather than for &C
centuated bloodshed.

May Oppose Sims

Indications are that Congress
man T. w. Sims will have opposi-
ton for reelection next year in
the person of Judge Sidney J.
Everett, of Jackson, who will
soon retire from the bench of the
Sixteenth judicial circuit, where
he has served nearly - years,
says Especial from that city. Judge
Everett ran Governor Rye a close
race for the democratic guberna-
torial nomination three years ago
before the convention in Nashville.
Judge Everett is known as one of
the, strongest democrats in the
state and man with quite a fol-
lowing in this congressional dis
trict.

MILITARY CAMP
Probability Of One Being Located
Near Jackson

The Association of Commerce
and citizens of Jackson are max
ing an effort to have the govern
ment locate a military and ma
chine gun camp east of that city,
embracing lands of Chester, Hen
derson and Carroll counties.
Such a camp is to be located
somewhere in the south by the war
department at an early date, and
the Jackson people, aided by the
citizens of Memphis, are making a
strenuous effort to have it located
near she former city.
The camp is to cover hundreds
of acres of land and it is claimed
the site under contemplation will
embrace something like one-third
of Henderson county, small
strip of Madison and Chester and a
portion of Carroll county. The
Carroll line runs near Terry.
There is much opposition to the
movement by the landowners of the
territory embraced in the contem-
plated camp. 1t is stated that the
government proposes to condemn
the land and pay the landowners
40 per cent more than its assessed
value. The farmers would suffer
great loss by this method, for but
few of them have their land as
sessed at anything like its real
value.
A large meeting of the citizens
of Henderson county was held in
Lexington last Monday to enter a
protest and to take such action as
will stop the movement if possibless

FREE CITY SERVICE
To Be Installed October 1, With
Henry Brewer Carrier

Free city deliaery will be In
stalled in Huntingdon next Mon
day, October l. The carrier is
Henry G. Brewer, and be will
make two trips each day over the
entire town and an extra trip
around the square.
Parties desiring this service will
be expected to cooperate with the
postoffice department by placing,
as soon as possible, proper receipt
acles so that the carrier will not
be delayed unnecessarily in the
performance of bis duties.
This service can be made of
great accommodation to the peo-
pie of the town if properly APP
preciated and given that co-opera-
ton necessary to make it 3 sue
cess. We hope the citizens will
assist the carrier and the postofice
force in making it of the very
greatest service to the patrons of
the office.

was. urged that Tennessee ought
not to lag behind in this matter.
This resolution further favored
the enactment by the Legislature
Iof such laws as are needed to
properly enforce the statutes APP
plying to live stock, fertilizers,
seed and feed inspection. 1t also
recommended that such legislation
would be asked that will vitilize
the normal and rural school cur
riculums to the end that the coun-
try youth be trained in country
life, giving more practical and not
so much theoretical education.
The committee on resolutions
submitted resolution thanking
Governor Rye for the hearty well
come given to the Farmers Union,
also expressing their thanks to
the superintendent of the capitol
and all his assistants, and further
resolved to pledge their best
thoughts and efforts and constant
loyalty to their president, and to
make the ensuing year one of the
most prosperous for this great or
ganization. They also urged every
delegate to go back to his local
county and put in practice the
great truths advocated by Prof.
Il. A. Morgan, L. NJ. Rhodes and
w. K. Bryson in their addresses
before the convention.

WEEK OF SHOWS
Huntingdon is Having Attractions
Galore This Week

Huntingdon is having attractions
galore this week. Large crowds
of the citizens of the rural districts
and nearby towns are attending
the various shows that are enlist
ing the attention of our people.
The w. |. Swain show arrived
Sunday and erected its tents on
the Mccall lot near the G. P.
church and gave an exhibition
Monday night to a large and APP
preciative audience. This show
company is spending the week
here and, as it always does, is
drawing large crowds. Mr.. Swain,
who has always accompanied his
show here, is not with it this year,
being in the army service, and he
is greatly missed by those who
have been attending the show for
years. This show always attracts
large crowds and gives satisfac-
ton.
The Sparks circus gave two ex-
hibitions here Tuesday. An i'm
mense crowd was in town and the
afternoon show was largely at.
tended. The night crowd was not
SO large. This show was good,
much better than was expected.
The street parade was all that was
claimed for it.
The colored fair began Wednes-
day with its attractions in the way
of merry-go7rounds and sideshows.
The first days attendance was
fairly good.

COTTON SHOWS LOSS
Average Is 5O.S Per Cent Of
Normal Condition

The condition of the growing
cotton crop is 1913 per cent Of nor
NAL, according to reports from
correspondents Of The Commercial
Appeal from over the belt.
The figures compare with the
government condition on August
25 Of 67.8 per cent, 56.S per cent
on SEPTEMBER Is last year, and a
10-year average Of 65.7. The loss
in condition for September is s
points, which compares with 40
last year, and a 10.year average of
SO points. The excessive loss may
be explained, however, from the
fact that this years crop lost only
90 points in August, due to the
lateness of the plant.
Based upon the above conditions,
together with heavy insect dame
age, especially from boil weevil IN
infested areas, may be responsible
for the big loss in condition sus-
tanned by the crop during the
month. Temperatures have been
too low a great part Of the time,
while sudden changes from hot to
cold have caused shedding of fruit
from a plant never too well fruited.
Too much rain in localities has
also caused some damage.
Boil weevil haveabout destroyed
the top crop and have damaged the
middle crop in infested areas.
Over practically all this area no
top crop is lookd for. Owing to
the extreme lateness of the crop
the late fruitage, when unmolested
by insects, is in serious danger of
damage by frost Of average date.
The lateness of the crop is be-
ing emphasized by the slowness
Of picking getting under way.
In Tennessee the plant is fairly
we'll 'fruited, and except in certain
localities fruit is being held we'll.
But the lateness of the crop makes
a very late killing frost essential
to the maturity of the fruit. Pick
ing is hardly started yet, as few
bolls are open, and gins are still
idle. Labor, generally speaking,
sufficient to harvest crop. Most (
farmers are selling at current
levels.

WILL CALL NEGROES
Will be Mustered Into Service
Next Month

Negroes drawn for the national

October 3 with the next batch
of drafted men, Secretary of War
Baker said last Saturday night.
Negroes from states in which
they form the largest percentage
of drafted men will be called first.
AS far as possible negro men will
be called after white men. All
negro troops will be drilled sep
apartely, but whenever practicable
at environments housing white men
of their section. Ia perhaps three

negro men to form a special Or
ganization, they will be sent to the

Tennessee Quota Short

1t was learned at the state Coun-

nessee's quota under the 40 per cent
call sent to Camp Gordon in the

eral counties failing to send their

period as possible.

RULINGS FINAL
Action Of Local and District Board
VIII Stand

Misconstruction of a ruling by
Provost Marshal General Crowder
on appeals from local and district
exemption boards, issued last
week, has caused a number of
members of congress and others
prominent politically to request
Governor Rye to report cases
passed on the local and district
boards in the interest Of constitu-
ents. The situation was placed be-
fore Gen. Crowder by the state
council of defense, and Tuesday
Gen. Crowder telegraphed that his
ruling had been grossly misinter-
preted; that the governor Of a
state has no authority to reopen
and review facts presented in any
claim for exemption; that the gov
ernor is not a court of appeals, and
that the action of the local and
district boards are final as to facts.
Governor Rye had refused to re-
open the cases presented to him.
1t has also been given out as au-
thentic that appeal made by pri-
Vate individuals to the president
will be returned without any &C
lion upon the part of the presi-
lent
