HON. W. W. RUTLEDGE

States Graphic:-About three weeks
ago / received notice of the death #
my friend end former citizen of this
town, Judge w. w. Rutledge, and it
was my intention to write short not
ice of his death for your paper that
his friends now living here might be
appraised of it, but / was taken sick
on that very day and consequently was
unable to do so sooner.
Judge Rutledge at the time of his
death was well known lawyer of the
Chattanooga bar, though for several
years he had not been actively engag-
ed in the practice, on account of age
and declining health. He was born in
Haywood county in 1916, and was
the efore in his seventy-second year.
He was a son of the late Mr.. Joseph
Rutledge, who was for great many
years clerk of the circuit court OF
Haywood county, and one of Browns
lies most. prominent and useful cit
liens. Mr.. Rutledge up to the time
of his removal to Chattanooga in 1893
was an active attorney at the Browns
vile bar. He represented Haywood
county in the Tennessee legislature in
1873. He, in connection with Judge
j. r. Bond, who was then his law
partner, represented the City of
Brownsville in the then noted Bond
Suit, in which the supreme court re-
lieved the city from paying a bonded
Indebtedness of over 100000. Mr..
Rutledge was for number of years
after locating in Chattanooga, engag-
ed in the practice of law with Judge
A. w. Chambliss. He married many
years ago Miss Claudia Nolen,
young lady of this country, who was
noted for her beauty, culture and re-
markable intelligence. He is surviy-
by wife and two daughters. One
daughter was married to Mr.. w. D.
Rogers, with whom he resided at the
time of his death, and the other, Miss
Lillian, is a teacher in the public
school of Chattanooga.
Mr.. Rutledge was a gentleman of
modest and unassuming manners but
was regarded as a lawyer of sound
judgment. He was a Christian citizen
that always was found on the right
side of every public question.
There are but few possibly in
Brownsville now living that will rem
ember Mr.. Rutledge, but the associa-
tion with him by those who did know
him will always be pleasant memory,

To the Graphic and Its Readers
We are writing this letter to show
our appreciation of the Y. M. c. A.
and Red Cross, as we find them both
the truest friends of the soldier.
On our route to camp We were greet
ed by the Red Cross and members of
the Y. M. C. A. at Nashville and other
points. They furnished us with sta
tionery and showed us various other
courtesies. Since reaching the camp
we have both the "Y" and Red Cross
headquarters which we can call home.
They furnish US enjoyment, entertain
ment and all the stationery we can
use.
We also have Sunday school and
preaching at the Y. M. C. A. each Sun
day morning and interesting lectures.
through the week. We are also enter
tanned by young ladies who come out
from the cities and sing for US real
often.
Now what more should a soldier
wish for? We are quite sure if the
good people of Haywood county could
be in camp and visit the Y. M. c. A.
and Red Cross headquarters for few
moments, they would open their hearts
and pocket-books to both of these
splendid organizations.
But with all this good we are willing
and waiting for orders to carry us to-
France, in order that we may bear our
dear old flag to the front. But re-
member, we cannot do our part with
out your help. So we ask each indi-
vidual to help us by buying Liberty
Bonds and Thrift Stamps, while at the
same time saving in your own homes.
If the soldiers friends at home will
all do this, we are sure that we shall
do our part in making this world
decent place in which to live.

AGED PAIR WED.

Uncle Bill Chinn, of Beaver Dam,
and Aunt Sallie Thomas, of Hartford,
were married at Beaver Dam, Fri
day. Uncle Bill is ~ and Aunt Sal
lie is IS years old. To the writer
there is always feeling of quiet in
terest in the marriage of people well
advanced in years. Next to the
union of Christ with his church the
hottest relation known to the minds
of men is the union of man
and a woman in the relation of hus-
band and wife. Pretty as is life's
young dream the marital relation
mellows with years. Age is respect
ed but neglected by youth, and the
sole comforting equation of old age
comes from the devotion of husband
or wife. Uncle Bill and Aunt Sallie
are the best of people and the Repub-
lican hopes they may enjoy long and
happy relation as husband and wife.

planning the withdrawal of the Amer
lean troops from England as soon as
possible. American Army officers have
decided that the only units which
! will remain are few of the medical
service and the STATS of the rest
camps. II is hardly probable, how
ever, that these rest camps will be re-
CURED. as troops are being sent home
directly from France and the few
units now in England belong to regi-
bments in France and may be sent
there.
Steps are also being token to clear
hospitals here. 1t has been decided
that patients who are not likely to re-
cover within two months will be sent
home as soon as suitable ships are
available. When the Mauretania
sailed to-day she took between 5000
and 5000 from the flying corps. 1t
is planned to dispatch steamer to
America every day this week.

LABOR IS HEARD
VOICIKG PROTEST
Secretary Of Federation
Says Wage Must Be
Maintained.

Washington, Nov. 25-Reduction
of present wage scales in the United
States will be opposed by the work.
ers, Frank Morrison, secretary of the
American Federation of Labor, said
in a statement tonight dealing with
reconstruction as it affects labor.
Any decrease in wages will mean a
lowering of living standards, he said,
and this the workmen will resist.
Regardless of the wishes of in
dividuals or groups" said Mr.. Morri-
son, ANY reduction of present wage
scales in this country will be op-
posed by the workers, who will not
accept wage reductions for the sim
pie reason that this procedure will
lower their standard of living And
by standard of living l refer to sub
stantial food, clothing, housing and
all necessaries to a well ordered life.
"The cost of living is not theory
with the workers, it is plain un-
vanished tale that can not be ex-
planned away by sophistry. The Uni
ted States Bureau of Statistics shows
that living costs are mounting higher
and higher. Its reports from August,
this year, shows an increase of Is
per cent between August, last year,
and August this year, and an in
crease of 20 per cent during the
five-year period between August,
1913 and August 1918.
THE right to live comes first, and
workers will resist any attempt to
reduce their living standards, in view
of present costs, even though some
employer talks of capturing the mar
kets of the world.
Il am hopeful that the best
thought among employers and other
elements of our citizenship will agree
that nothing will create more inter
nal turmoil than denial that the
highest possible living standards for
workers is the first requisite for the
America we dream to have.
1.-The eight hour day should be &C
cepted by every manufacturer. Not
only because the transition to peace
basis may be orderly through the
quick assimilation Of workers but for
the larger reasons that have so often
been advanced in favor of shorter
workday."

THE HOLY ROLLERS
SPREAD THE FLU
Lovingly,
ROY FRAIM.

Disregarding the law and the local
and state boards of health, the Holy
Rollers held a three days meeting,
near Olaton last week, and about
thirty-fve new cases of influenza was
the result. 1t is said a young man
afflicted with the disease attended
the meeting and the result was that a
large number of people were infect
ed.
We would not. II we could, inter
fere with the Holy Rollers in the
performance of their queer antics.
but they should be made to respect
n law so vital to the public good as
that prohibiting public meetings
while health and lives of the public
are so vitality concerned.
