Cash and Confidence

NO man ever succeeded in accomp- fishing anything without confidence in himself. No man ever won a fight unless he was. supremely sure of his anillty to give good account of him. self. The will to do must have more than mere willingness to back it. The man must know he is strong. As with a man, so with a nation. National confidence is the essential of national success.
 This does not mean plere bra rca- ooeio. Words won't win wars; you cannot fight battles with 9ountain pens.
 The power to act and the action must be right behind .he punch backed up by what assurance of sue
 cess that only public confidence can give We must not only support our governments policies, we must actual " support the government itself.

LATER REPORT

LA En hEl ORl
 St Johns, February 25.-Boat crews from the New Foundland steamer Pros pero braving the breakers which are battering to pieces the wreck of the Red Cross liner Florizel on the ledges north of Cape Race, today took off A survivors, all that were left alive of the ships company of 196. The death list tonight stood at a2. Of the rescued + are pas- sengers Only two of the F women on board and none of the four children were saved,
 Capt. William J. Martin of the Florizel and Maj Michael Sullivan of the New Foundland forestry battalion, who was Scotland and were among those rescued. Ralrh Burnham, one of the six cadets Of the royal flying corps on the lost steamer, was included among the sur vivors,
 The rescue was performed with great gallantry. The Florizel was impaled on a rock, surrounded by half submerged Hedges and lay three ship lengths, or 900 feet from shore. Between her half submerged hulk and the cliffs which jut from the waters edge to a height of 800 or 400 feet with no beach to speak of at high tide, the water was white with an almost unbroken swirl of breakers. making it impossible to send out life boat. A detachment of naval gunners from this city managed to shoot line aboard the steamer last night, but those on board were powerless to make it fast, as the fore part of the steamer was continually buffeted by huge seas, the aftermath of yesterdays blizzard.
 In the forecastle, into which the break CTS smashed their way, and in the fore rigging the A survivors huddled help lessly Outside the ring of surf lay fleet of rescue steamers, including the Prospero, which had been sent by the government to the scene with special lifesayiue apparatus

The bulls arc calling attention to the difference be- tween spots and futures and that spots are firmly held. While southern offer ings are fair they are easily absorbed
 by tho buying element. At the high level realizing sales appeared and the market yielded but weakness was not evident and the apparent confidence
 in higher prices was stimulated by
 the persistent talk of the active ele- ment. General business Is moderate only.

would it not be good sense to quit ii
and go at something that you can
learn? This is true of even blowing.

business for so years, have sold and
repaired almost all kinds. Surely
ought to know a good machine, and !
DO. / can, and will sell you just as
good Sewing Machine as is made
for much less than you can buy such
a machine for anywhere else. Why
not save money? You haven't it to
throw away | don't suppose. Why
pay peddlers $40 to $50 for bringing
a machine to you, when you can save
that by coming after it, or having il
shipped to your nearest depot. This
is no joke; come and see and
be convinced, or send for Illustrated
Price Lists. Shuttles and parts for

/ think all of the Christian people
should be praying for the boys in
France and 70 rthis awful war to
cease. 1t will be awful sad for the
mothers of the boys in France who
never return. They will miss them
so much and long SO for the presence
of the boys they will never see again.
1t is an awful thought to know that
a loved one sleeps in France and
that you will never see them or even
hear their voice again or see the
grave where they sleep their last
sweet sleep. Oh, it rs sad to think
about. But if we live true Christian
lives we will meet them again in a
better world than thisa world where
there is no sorrow and no death, and
Jesus reigns forever more.
Good luck to the editor of the Sun

Tuesday, Oct. 1st,
Big Day at
District Fair

A lot of people are asking what
will be the best day of the week to
attend the Chattanooga District fair.
The fair officials say that the fair
will be too big for any person to see
it all in one day, but for those who
can spare only one day, they recon-
mend Tuesday, October LIST.
One of their reasons for this is
that by Tuesday everything will be
in place, and having been just put
up, it may be more complete and
look fresher than it will later in the
week.
Another reason is the big parade
which will feature the morning hours.
This is being put on by the Chatta-
nooga Auto Club and the Patterson
circus, 1t will also contain military
organizations and will be one Of the
biggest affairs Of the kind ever seen
in Chattanooga.
Still another reason is that on
Tuesday there are number of spe-
cial attractions which will not be at
the fair all week. For instance,
Tuesday is one of the three racing
days and an especially interesting
program is promised to harness low
ers for that afternoon. Auto polo,
the most thrilling and fascinating of
all games, will be at the fair but
three days, and Tuesday is one of
the three. All Of the big vaudeville
features which occur other days will
be on Tuesday, so you will not miss
by coming that day.
Tuesday win be Girls Club day
and the special exercises for the girls
who come from all over the district
win occur that afternoon. The Dis
trict Fair School for Boys will open
that afternoon and will be another
feature. The Kiwanis club will put
on a big pow-wow at noon, and will
be well worth seeing.
There is every reason to believe
that the attendance will be the larg-
est ever known at fair in Chatta-
nooga The railroads will grant spe-
cial reduced rates, but those who
have autos are urged to come direct
to the fair by motor. Admission to
the grounds will be free for auto /
Fords.
An opportunity of lifetime is to
zee the United States soldiers at
Chickamauga Park, and every pa
triotic American should plan a visit
to Chattanooga this fall for the dual /
purpose of seeing the soldiers and
the big district fair.
