How many times have you
wished that you could be Il
again? Now since the country is
on the verge of war that desire
will doubtless be smothered, for
there are men who will become
great pacifists at this time and
express horror at the thought
of war. There will be others who
have conscientious scruple5 about
taking a human life in battle. All
the little lodges will be used to
keep from going to the front.
Some will have dependent fami-
lies; others will suddenly develop
an alarming pain in the back.
There will be men who become
chilled in the pedal extremities
and whose backbones assume a
jelly-like consistency. There will
be a lot of men who will read
lily swear that they were born
along about 1872, eXcusing all
military service. Some men might
go if they can get to be internes
at base hospital or attached to
the commissary department. But
these are exceptions. There are
millions of men with good red
blood in their veins. Men who
have patriotic impulses. and will
gladly take up the fight for their
country. "Slackers" are drones
and soon discovered. Public ridi-
cule, sneers, insults and caustic
comment will make it so embar-
RAISING and humiliating that the
enforced pacificists will have to
go to it.

While in a reminiscent mood
this morning, Senator Clifford
Coggins told Of events immedi-
ately subsequent to the first call
by Abraham Lincoln for 100000
volunteers. Mr.. Coggins was then
a youngster in the woods Of Maine
where it is necessary to whittle
down the sleeps nose so that it
can eat grass between the rocks.
The genial auto man asserts that
he Is exempt from the first call
if America declares war on Ger
many, as it is provided that only
those between the ages of 18 and
90 will be ordered out at the start.
After that he has the excuse OF
being married, but the twinkle III
his eye belied the jocularity, for
there is good zap in the jo-
vial garage man, for he is only
in robust prime at the present
time.

Looking Thru the Keyhole
By Phil O. .Sopher

1t is a recital of wrongs too
long endured; of the bully out
raging an even-tempered nation;
Of staggering militarism in
bred of conceit and loathing for
the civilian; of the usurper; Of
the House of Arrogance and De-
ceit. 1t has to do with how 'Me
I'D Gott" planned to regenerate
a world. God undoubtedly man.
aged to leave his escutcheon un-
blemished, but "Me," alias Kais-
er Wilhelm, scion of Wilhelm der
Crosse and contended as a lin
cal descendant of Fing David
(who lived in time when kings
were kings, and not puppets Of
prime ministers and court at
tendants) is wring.ing hands
dripping with blood. England ad-
mits that King George Is sort
of useless person, but rather or
namental and full Of memories.
What the prime minister of Eng
land and the House Of Commons
desire to do is generally done and a
little ceremony is had by pointing
to where the king IS asked to
sign. France is really DEMOCRAT
ic and the president Of that coun-
try bows to the will of the cabi-
net head. Gar Nicholas found
that his gilded trappings were
merely to light his pathway to
oblivion. King Emmanuel of It
ally does little else except turn
to numismatics and philately.
Queen Wilhelmina is justly loved
and revered by her husbiects, as
she should be. But when a mill
taristic leader like the Kaiser
trains his soldiers to d:slespect
civilians, that nation must sooner
or later perish or become dis
rupted. The world knows but lit
tie of the inside happenings of
Berlin and Germany. There is
nothing but good news sent out
from the Kaiser's realm. If it
is not possible to secure truth,
then the reports are manufac-
tured to suit the eXigehcies of
the occasion. Emerson defined
the laws of compensation and held
them to be indubitable and invio-
liable. The scales of life are bal
anced, and if they swing down
wards with a load of avarice,
grief, pillage, murder, rapine and
wanton destruction, then the
other side must be weighted with
good deeds, with sorrow, with
repentance, with good will, with
kindness and with respect for the
true and beautiful. Germany's
history of the last few years has
been replete with what destroyed
the grandeur of Rome, the classic
beauty of Greece, the magnifi-
cent achievements of Spain and
the historical plenty and luxuri-
ance of former Egypt. Germany
has sown the seed of lust and
must gather in the grain OF re-
pentance. With an arrogant
pride, she swept on ruthlessly,
only thinking that she was un-
conquerable. The common peo-
pie must never be forgotten in
any struggle. They do the bulk
of the fighting and their wives
and mothers the most of the suf-
fering. Wrongs too long endured
change the peasant and the la
borer into men and women like
those who destroyed monarchism

The county Board of Education
in its session Oct. 5th, decided to
close the schools at AZ months,
if it did not knock us out of our
prorata of the money referred
to above, hence the schools will
close at A months.
The board also passed a resol-
ution. that when teachers fall
below their minimum for seven
consecutive days they must close
their schools, If teachers teach
in violation to their contracts the
Board is under no obligation to
pay them for the time.

Harry Camp Makes Strong
Impression With Jack
son County People.

Hon. Harry Camp, of Sparta,
was here the first of the week
meeting our people in the inter.
est of his candidacy for chancel-
lor in the December primary.
Mr.. Camp has been here before
and has made a most favorable
impression on the people of Jack
son county whom he has met.
That he is well qualified for this
high office is conceded by those
who know him.
Judge Frank T. Fancher, mem
ber of the State Board of Law
Examiners, says of him: He is
peculiarly fitted to discharge the
duties Of this important office.
In the first place, he is the high
est type of Christian gentleman.
Next, he is a splendid lawyer,
possessing an all 'ronud liberal
education, and is well versed in
the principles of law and equity.
He is a man of very rare mind
naturally. He has good horse
sense, which is the best of all
sense. He is a man of sterling
integrity and has the courage of
his convictions. If elected, he
would not be the Chancellor of
any man or set of men, but a
Judge for the whole people, re-
gardless of race or position. Mr..
Camp is a consistent and regular
Democrat. The Fourth Chance
ry Division would be exceedingly
fortunate in having him for its
Chancellor. He has one of the
most analytical minds. He is
just now in the full beginning of
vigorous middle life with years
usefulness ahead of him"
Judge Fancher is known as an
eminent lawyer. having served for
more than a year on the Supreme
bench of the State under a spe-
cial commission from the gover-
nor. His statement is, therefore,
entitled to great weight. Hon.

Superintendent Dixon Reviews
School Work.

| have visited all the schools in
the county, and found the major
ity of them doing work and well
controlled, yet there are some, |
am sorry say, that are poorly dis
ciplined. In these poorly discip-
lined schools the teachers are not
viligent. Don't see things that
occur that they should, j. e.,
they are not strong and
tactful in their discipline.
No teacher can expect the pupils
and patrons to be attracted to
him or her unless the school is
properly diciplined and controll-
ed. More idleness in some of
the schools than should be, |
want to urge the teachers to use
their best and untiring efforts to
keep the pupils busy. II you
can keep them busy your school
will be more easily controlled.
Financially we are in better
condition than we have been for
several years. The first year of
my administration we only had
enough money on hand to pay
one half of first months teaching.
Last year We had enough to pay
the first months teaching, and
all outstanding warrants. and

The scholastic population of

or for 1917, is COOS. or an in
crease of 28l. This will giva us
about A00 more money from the

No Price To Be Fixed On
Hogs.

Prof. H. A. Morgan, food ad-
ministrator for Tennessee, yes
terday received a telegram from
Herbert Hoover, the government
food expert. stating that the food
administration will not attempt
to place price on hogs. They
will do everything possible to in
sure the farmers a stimulating
profit. The telegram was as fol-
lows:
Washington, d, c.. Oct, II,
1917.
Morgan. Food Administrator,
Nashville, Tenn.
You can give the widest pub
licity to the fact that we have no
intention whatever of fixing a
price on hogs. We are consider
ing some form of guarantee to
the farmers if they will produce
hogs. and we have already issued
an undertaking that we will
through holding up the prices of
exports exert onr power to main
tain prices for hogs that will re-
turn the grower a stimulating
profit.

crowded race courses and thea
ters, its open saloons and beel
gardens, and dance halls, the un.
concealed surrender of gilded
vice and absorbing indulgence re
creation and amusement, such a
dishonored Sabbath was the
fruitage of a spreading spirit of
infdelity and skepticism. God
was eliminated from the nation
al life.
These United States may
well profit by their experience.
There can be no Christian
civilization without the Christian
Sabbath.
The tact that Sabbath desec-
ration is increasingly popular
makes 1t increasingly dangerous.
1t is a blow at society, the state
and the church.
"Methodism by tradition has
ever stood for the sanctity of
the Sabbath. The world is break
ing down the barriers which God
should guard it. Shall
the church rebuild and rededicate
it to herself, to it's defense? We.
say, yes"
