PEOPLE SHOULD DECIDE
THE RAILROAD QUESTION
McAdoO Says They Have Right to
Accept or Reject Government
Ownership.

New York. Dec. 19.-William G.
McAdoo, In an address on the eve
of his resignation as secretary of
the treasury, predicted the success
of the fifth Liberty loan and declar-
ed that il was for a majority OF the
people to decide whether the ma
tion's railroads should be privately
or government owned.
Speaking at union peace ju-
bilee" held by the CONGREGATIONS OF
six leading Episcopal churches. Mr.
McAdoo asserted that in the first
four loans the people of America had
displayed "a spiritual. almost relig-
ious interest"
American spirit aroused by the
fight for freedom" he declared,

If the subscribers have to wear tat
tered clothes in order that the fight

properly cared for"
OF the railroads, Mr.. McAdoo
said:
Taking over the railroads was a
necessity. / did not care whether
the government or private parties
owned them, but when Uncle Sam
needed those railroads for the trans
portation OF troops and supplies
everything had to give way and pri-
vate owners had for the time being
at least to step aside"
"The question OF governmental or
private ownership is a debatable one
and hardly suited to a church discus
sion. What the majority OF the
American people will say on the sub
Ject must be accepted as being right.
The majority said they wanted a Re-
publican congress and they got it.
but still / say that the American
peoples wish is right. even II I am
a Democrat"
Mr.. McAdoo asserted that one "of
several things which stand out con-
spicuously in my view OF how we
won the war Is the wonderful man
nor in which cohesiveness OF the
people was proven by their intelli-
sence. courage and vision OF the fu-
ture."
"If any OF the crowned heads of
Europe could witness one OF our po-
litical campaigns. see how we fight
among ourselves and then realize
that all that fighting quality is
turned into one unit when anyone
on the outside interferes with us,
there would have been no attempt to
bully the United States" he con-
tinued
After praising the selective SER
vice act. Mr.. McAdoo discussed the
soldiers and sailors insurance bill,
saying that the Insurance money will
be paid direct to the beneficiaries and
there will be no necessity for go

for charity"
Every justice will be done every
deserving soldier and sailor" he ad-
led, "and he Will be given generous
treatment by grateful nation.

rHE RRIGHT0N RED GROSS

The people Of Brighton have re-
sponded heartily to the call OF their
country and Of humanity. They have
shown the true spirit Of Christmas
These general statements can be prov
en- by brief review of the Red Cross
campaign carried on here.
When the call for 10000, 900 new
members for the Red Cross was made,
Brighton heard it and answered. The
membership of the Red Cross was
only "a, but now it is double that
number with one more, the total meme
bership being 149.
After the campaign for new mefn-
beers had closed there was pleasant
surprise for the Brighton Red Cross.
Mr.. E. E. Strong asked that, a meet
ing Of the organization be called and
then to their delight leased them five
acres Of land for three years. or long
er if the war continues. We feel
that Mr.. Strong is generous and wise
and his material assistance is great
" appreciated.
At the beginning Of the new year
we have many plans. One Of the
first to mature viii be a play for the
benefit Of the Red Cross. We hope
to do our bit to relieve humanity,
hasten peace, and lift up the cross
Of Him whose birth we have Just
celebrated. ,

TENNESSEE LEADS SOUTH
IN Y. M. C. A. SUBSCRIPTIONS

Atlanta, Ga, December 31.-Though
the latest report issued by the War
Work Council, ". M. G. a.. from New
York City shows $1,602,372 raised
nv the seven states comprising the
Southeastern Military Department
during the recent campaign, it is
safe to state that the total now ex-
ceeds $1,S00,000, according to Exec
utive Secretary s. A. Ackley.
Tennessee leads the southern states,
having subscribed 100000 Georgia
has jumped from fifth to second place
since the December / report, with
1881, $50 raised. The other five states
have also over-subscribed their quo
tas, in the following order: North
Carolina, Alabama, South Carolina,
Mississippi and Florida.
Al national increase of 100000
in subscriptions this month is esti-
mated; $50, 153, 054 being the country
wide total previously reported. This
$l7,0O0,0O0 over-subscription ha S
saved the day for the Army "Y."
Before the War Department made
known it's additional calls upon the
Red Triangle, its budget for nine
months ending June 30, 1918, called
for an expenditure Of $95,000,000.
It can be roughly estimated now
that $2O,OOO,OOO of this fund will be
spent for work among enlisted men
in the United States. The budget
October LIST estimated $11, 100000,
but demands since have nearly doub-
led. An equal sum will probably be
spent overseas with the men of the
American army and navy. the original
budget calling for 11,994,000. When
General Pershing requested the Army
~" to take over the canteen service
in France, an outlay of $5,000,O00 not
in the budget was made necessary.
In France with our boys $500 sec
retaries will be used About half
that number was previously estimat-
ed. There are now 500 secretaries
serving French, Italian and Russian
soldiers at the request of their re-
spective governments, their number
Increasing on an average of 100
monthly. Work in the vast prison
er-of-war camps abroad will require
extending at least $1,000,00O of the
Red Triangle war fund.

OLD COYINGT0NIAN PASSES
AWAY; AGED az YEARS

Mr. Henry Clay HARRISON died at
his residence, No. 1171 Englewood
Place, Memphis on Friday afternoon,
December Is, at 2 o'clock. He had
been in failing health for quite a
long while, but uraemic poisoning
was the immediate cause of his death.
His remains were brought to Coving-
ton on the $500 train Saturday morn
ing and were taken to the home of
his. son-in-law, DR. B. v. Dickson,
from which home the funeral took
place at 2:30 o'clock that afternoon,
the funeral services being conducted
by Elder L. K. Harding, Of Henning,
assisted by Rev. R. P. Walker, pas
tor of the First Presbyterian Church.
Henry Clay HARRISON was a native
Of Memphis, where he was born on
January 25, 1916. He served for a
short time in the Confederate SER
vice and came to Covington in 1867
where he made his home for great
many years, moving back to Mem
phis, thence to Mississippi, thence
back to Covington, where he resided
for a number of years consecutively;
thence to Memphis in 1912, where he
had since resided. On January %,
1879 he was married to Miss Mary
Smith, of this city, who survives him,
as do also four sons, Messrs. c. A.,
G, G., E. A. and A. X. HARRISON, and
three daughters, Mrs. B. v. Dickson,
Mrs. R. w. Drane and Miss Isabel
Harsson. A brother, living in Arkan-
sas and sister in Memphis also
survive him.
Mr. HARRISON connected himself with
the Christian church about rs years
ago, and lived a consistent member
OF that church. He was a man of
bright mind, fond of reading and
kept well up with the times.
He had a great many friends in
Upton county and throughout this
section who sincerely regret his pass
ing away, and extend to the bereaved
family their sincere sympathy.

FIRST BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOL

One Of the interesting features
Of the Sunday school at the First
Baptist Church last Sunday morning
was the enrolling of the names Of
those who had not missed a Sunday
service during the year 1917. Those
who stood up on this proposition were:
j. A. Ferguson, Mrs. Elizabeth Brin-
gle Vaughan, Miss Marguerite Smith,
Miss Ernestine Smith, Miss Effie
Wood, Lyle Workman, Ernest Du-
mas and Malcolm Smith, Jr.
1t is the custom of this Sunday
school to have picture made of all
those who have attended Sunday
school service every Sunday during
the year. This is the eighth consec-
utive year for j. A. Ferguson. A
splendid record, being eight years
without having missed a Sunday at
Sunday school, and the same Sun
day school. Ernest Dumas has a
record of five years consecutive at
tendance, while Lyle Workman. Miss
Effie Wood and Ernestine Smith have
four years record Of punctual attend
ance.
A number of the members of this
Sunday school were at some Sunday
school every Sunday during the year
1917, but they were held to be out
of town. Some OF, the members on
this list were Miss Myrtle Chapman,
Of the primary depart
ment, and Rev. Charles E. Wauford,
pastor of the church.
