TO RENOVATE HIS
TORIC OLD PLACE.

Mr.. Bell Moran, grandson of the
late Emmerson Etheridge, spent
few hours in Dresden last week with
his relatives, Col, E. E. Tansil and
Miss Mamie Tansil, coming here
from Memphis. This was the gen.
tleman's first visit to Dresden since
he was lad Of seven years of age.
Mr.. Moran's mother, who was Miss
Emma Etheridge, is remembered here
by many of the older citizens as a
woman of rare graces and charms
and of brilliant intellect. The young
man was here looking over the old
Etheridge homestead, situated in the
eastern portion of town, and about
which many historic memories clus-
ter. 1t was here that the Hon. En-
merson Etheridge lived for many
years and where he entertained many
distinguished guests of national rep
utation. But of late years the old
place has been allowed to go down.
1t has been rented to first one and
another and no attention given to
upkeep, but it is understood that
young Moran will have the place
thoroughly renovated, the trees trim
med, the fences repaired and make
it more inviting place. He gave
orders for number of photographs
to be made of the premises.

WRITES HOME.
Sept. 1917.

kJOPDs 1O4
Dear Mama
am on board ship at port at
which we have touched on our way.
Whether or not this letter will be
forwarded to you before we reach
our port of debarkation, or whether
it will ever be sent you, | do not
know. 1t is probable that it will be
held until we land and then forward
ed. / haven't as yet been seasick.
You can be assured that we will
be well conveyed. For that matter,
the first officer of the ship (who has
been sailing backward and forward
for the three years of the wary says
the chances Of a lone ship without
convoy, to escape submarines are
80 out of 100. We will begin life
boat drill this afternoon, however.
The trip, thus far, has been very
pleasant, without rough weather.
The funniest thing to US on board is
the fact that each of us is assigned a
certain hour for bathing and the
steward is very much disappointed
if we do not battle every day. If
we miss the time assigned, there is
no bathing for that day. 1t so hap
pened that while other friends were
being scattered, the six Of us who
came to New York together, and
three others whom we knew we'll at
)glethorpe, are together on this boat.
/ have a small outside stateroom to
myself. All the officers are in
sterooms. Some of them are three
in a room, however. We are travel
ing just the same as first-class pas
sengers and getting the same food
and other conveniences. l am en-
joying the whole thing very much
indeed.
We know nothing of when we will
leave here or what they are going
to do with US on the other side.
Everybody else is as ignorant, or pre-
tend as much ignorance as ourselves.
We have already found that we had
at Fort Oglethorpe much more prac-
tical artillery training than they had
at other training camps.
Lovingly,
HERBERT JONES.

Washington, Oct. 4.-Win a SIN

other war the United States has ever

Despite President Wilson's warn
inc that the country must not sit

is excited over a new pOwer system
that viii, if it's inventors claims ma

The system is a Gree energy gen

Giragossian, an American mechanic,
who has been working on his plan in
Boston the greater part Of 26 years.
Here are some Of the thNAsS he Ssys
ii will do:
Drive a battleship any distance
without STOP, for fuel.
Propel an aeroplane around the
world
Give an aeroplane strength enough
to carry thousands Of pounds of mu-
nitiOns,
Enable an aeroplane to wear ar
NOR heavy enough to turn any anti
aircraft guns missile.
Send torpedoes at greater speed.
Practically double the speed of
steam engines.
Other than to state that his sys-
tenn of utilizing free energy is as rev.
ctutionary as Franklin"s discovery
Of electricity, Giragossian has not
publicly described his theory. So
radical are his assertions that they
would be dismissed with shrug and
smile had he not in secret demon

Official action has been taken
and if he can make good on big
scale, the United States will contrib

JUDGE MAIDEN HAS
A BROKEN RIB.

Though accomplishing, and with
his usual elasticity, Judge Maiden
has suffered for two weeks from the
effects of broken rib, sustained by
fall from fence at his farm, east
of town.
Even some of his most intimate
friends in town did not know OF the
fractured rib until last Friday. The
Judge had been going about his du-
ties in his accustomed manner His
congenial smile, his hearty hand
shake and his cordial, cheerful greet
ing had not appeared to his friends
any the less so and, therefore, but
few knew Of the injury.
With man of Ed Maiden's in
domnitable courage and energy and
will power a little thing like a half
dozen broken ribs don't amount to
much, anyhow.

NO CAUSE FOR DEPRESSION.

This war will be won by France,
Great Britain and the United States.
They have the men to win it,, they
have the money and they have the in
vincible resolution without which
neither men nor money can avail.
The Bolshevik revolution in Russia
has not changed the situation. 1t has
brought the inevitable civil war one
step nearer, but it has not increased
the responsibilities or the obligations
of the French, British and Ameri-
can democracieS. This may be said,
too, of the Italian defeat.
What may yet come of the Rus
sian coup d'etat no man can foresee.
1t is obvious, however, that the Boil:
sheviki who have seized Perograd
can never set up Il government that
will rule Russia and direct it's poll
cieS No stable Government in the
whole history of the world was ever
established by traitors, fanatics, and
theorists who have yet to learn the
first principle of organized self-con-
troll. Without stable that can rule
and enforce its decisions, Russia can
make no separate peace with Ger
many. 1t cannot recall troops from
the trenches unless these troops rec
ognize its authority, and it is plain
that the differences in the Russian
armies are as acute as the differences
in the civilian population.
Any peace that the Bolshevik lead
ers may make will necessarily be
peace on the part of soldiers who
have already ceased firing and are
concerned almost wholly with the
seizure and division of the landed es-
tates.
The Bolshevik coup d'etat has add
ed UNNECESSARILY to the difficulties of
establishing Government that can
govern Russia, but it has solved none
of Berlin's military or economic prob
lens. German troops must still hold
the line, even with Russia plunged
into Il civil war, and there is no food
for German stomachs in the preten-
tious proclamations of the Soviet.
In spite of what has happened in
Russia and Italy, Germany is beat
en-. The Russian counter-revolution
long the resistance Of the German
peoples by renewing the hope of Il
favorable peace, but Germany is as
surely beaten as the Southern Con-
federacy was in 1864 when Early's
troops camped in sight of Washing
ton and could have seized the capital.
The United States will unques-
tionab!y be obliged to increase its eff
forts. The American people must
abandon the notion that the war will
be won for them by Russians and
Italians, OF that anybody can do for
them what they must do for them
selves But Germany, nevertheless,
will be beaten, and the victory will
be won by France, Great Britain and
the United States, whatever happens
to Russia. whatever happens to Italy
and whatever happens to any other
country that is at war with Prus-
sianism.

An Old Mans Stomach.

AS we grow older and less active.
less and less food is required to meet
the demands Of our bodies. If too
much is habitually taken, the stom-
ach will rebel. When q man reaches
the advanced age of IS or 90, you will.
find that he is light eater. Be as
careful as you will, however, you
will occasionally cat more than you
should and will feel the need of Cham

These tablets do not contain pepsin.
but strengthen the stomach and ena-
BILE it to perform its functions nat
urally. They also cause gentle

a PACIFIST WHO FIGHTS,
(Ncw York World.l

In December, 1915, Henry Ford
beaded Il costly expedition to Europe,
financed by himself alone, expecting
to bring about peace by moral sua=
sion. Failing in that enterprise, he
announced in January, 1916, pur-
pose to spend $1,000,000 to defeat the
preparedness program. In September
of the same year, although Repub-
licun, he declared in favor of the re-
election of President Wilson as the
best hope of those who desired peace
in February, 1917, when was was
seen to be inevitable, he offered to
turn his plant over to the Govern
ment or to operate it himself on ma
tional account without profit A few
days later, he proposed to loan his
entire fortune to the United States
for war purposes without interest In
the following April, war having been
declared, he surrendered to the Brit
ish government, without cost, all his
patent rights on tractors. Asked soon
afterward on what terms his Boston
plant could be had by the Government
he replied, "Takc it," Today it is an
nounced that until the end of the
war he will devote his works wholly
to the manufacture of tractors, air.
craft engines, ambulances, shells and
other appliances and munitions of
war.
We refer to these things merely
to introduce the statement that Hen
ry Ford is pacifist who knows when
it is time to fight, and that in this
respect the American people, with
comparatively few exceptions, are in
complete accord with him.

VALUE OF CASH TO DOUBLE, so
SAVE HARD NOW.
(Basil NJ. Manly, in the Cincinatti
PoSt.)

(BaSll M. Manly, in the Cncinatti
Post.)
Washington, Nov. 9.-Fir the first
time since the civil war the purchas-
ing power of the American dollar
has deprecated to the so per cent
level-in plain, everyday words, to the
point where it will buy only as much
as half dollar would in 1914.
The secret of r-value-shrink-
age is contained in the simple fact
that the governments Of the world,
by running their legislative cham
bers and their printing presses over
time have produced bonds, papc.'
money and other similar tokens of
value several times us fast as the
people could increase the output of
the necessities of war and life.
This, however, is not an essay on
why the dollar has shrunk, but lit
tie homely advice for the average
man on what to do for sclf-protcc-
ton.
In Tie first place we must wake up
to the fact that the dollar has not
finished Striking, and probably will
not until sometime after peace comes.
No financial authority in Washing
ton believes tina the general level of
prices will decrease until after the
war, and they will be very happy
if they can be held at the present
level by Hoover. Garfield and the
other officials who are working to
hold them down.
Here is the advice for the business
man: Contract your credits get rid
of all deadwood in your business or
ganization and steer clear of invest
ments that are unproductive or re-
quirc n long time to mature Don't
put money into land, for example,,
unless you are going to make it the
basis Of production either of crops, IA
factorNlor dwelling place.
The householder should cut his cx-
penditure to the limit of necessity.
Don't buy anything that is not need
ed for the health and efficiency of
yourself and your family. Luxuries
will have to go by the board until
the war ends.
Hold the Liberty Bonds you have,
the authorities say. and buy more
with all the savings that come from
the elimination of luXurieS and nom
essentials.
With your 50-cent dollars you can
purchase Liberty Bonds at par and
salt them away until peace brings
with it return of the old time pric-
es. Then you will be able TO purchase
with them twice as much of the ne
cessities or luXuries of life as YOU
could with the same number of dol
lars today.

w. A. Garrett, member of Pres

lions of German atrocities in Belgium

Poisoned wells, mutilatcd children,

and 1000 miles by automobile. He is
probably better acquainted with the
real conditions there than any other
person in the United States, with the
exception of the four men who ac-
companied him.
"France is tired, Oh, so tired, of

young boys and old men and women
there to unload the ships and the

"At the English front we saw the

there we saw men made cripples with

is German culture.

except by the use Of closely woven
wire. Tho cost is not prohibtiye. The
saving in year or two will pay for
the wire. 1t has been noticed that
where cribs are rat-proof the rats
are much fewer in number about the
place, and if grain cannot be gotten
at by the rats, they will leave the
premises. A favorite haunt of the
rats is around the pens of the fat
tening hogs.
