The greatest mistake our gov
ernmen is making in dealing with
war questions, 10 our opinion, is
the lenieney it shows to such stock
as the prominent citizen referred
to above. There are numerous
stock of his kind all over the coun-
try and they should be disposed Of.
The Won Rintlen case, in which the
kaiser has manifested so much con-
cern, should have been disposed Of
long ago with as little publicity as
possible. One shot from a good
marksman should have disposed
of his case,

Farm Notes

Excessive rains are responsible
for much grassy cotton where it
has not been properly worked.
while-that which has been cross
narrowed two or three times is al
most clean. This observation was
made by County Agent 6. H,
Moody upon his return from the
south end Of the county last week.
Farmers are learning something
of the advantage of planting on a
broad, fat bed, narrowed down
almost level to permit combing out
the small weeds and grass with a
section harrow, while such foul
ness is easily killed. The feld of
cotton on high, sharp ridges, with
deep burrows between, is not seen
very often now.

Flat, has some nice fields of corn,

Coal Ruling

To the People Of Tennessee;
am ia receipt Of the following
notice from DE- Garfield, United
States Fuel Administrator, Wash
ington
: In case there is a coal shortage
next winter, the consumer who
bRs storage space. or who could
have provided for the storage Of
his coal and did not, will not be
supplied until all booked orders
have been filled. and then he will
be Obliged to take his chances.
"Jme l, 1918
United States Fuel Adninistra-
ton"
This means that those who have
storage space or who can secure
storage space for coal, and do not
place orders for their coal supply
during the summer, will not be
supplied next winter until the
mines or the dealers have filled all
orders which are ahead of them.
AS there will probably not be
enough coal to ill all the orders.
il is more than likely that those
who are able to pay for and store
coal apd fail to do so will not be
able to obtain coal next winter.
Therefore place your orders now
and let the mines or dealers fill
them when your turn comes. 1t
may be several weeks before you
are reached.
Those of our people who can
not obtain storage space, or who
are so poor they are unable to Sc
cure money 10 pay Tor Jnelr coal
will be taken care of as far as it is
possible. / may not be able to
get them as much coal as they
need, but as long as any coal is to
be had the poor and the defense
less shall be taken care of to the
best of my ability.

who are fighting for our country
to know that as long as there is a

Two families apply for relief:
One has a son or a daughter in
France; the other has not. The

sorghum, two acres peanuts, one

two acres corn and soy beans in

does not have it on hand ask him to
order some. When you have fed
100 pounds and saved about eight
bushels Of corn you will buy an
other bag, Tapkage is not a pat

just as is cottonseed meal. 1t is

There are persistent rumors of
Germany's intention to attempt to
bring her feet out into the open
seas. Germany has reached the
point where recklessness is the
logical outcome of her desperation.
The fleet is valueless where it is.
1t could not be more so beneath
the waves and the possibility of
success either in escaping or in
fiictiug heavy damage on the enemy
may be regarded by the war lords
as worth the endeavor, Nashville
Banner.
4 The German feet has been bot
tied up ever since soon after the
war began, and this is the reason
we have heard of no great naval
engagements. If the fleet should
come out we might expect some
thing doing on the sea, for the
British and American fleets will
give the Germans something to 90
if their fleet ever comes out in the
open.

Senator Shields

The question of electing SEN
ator Shields to succeed himself in
the United States senate is be-
coming more and more necessary
as time advances. The war makes
it necessary that we give Judge
Shields an endorsement.
The democratic idea that has
been in vogue for years is an en-
dorsement of this principle The
very foundation Of democratic
government is based upon the fact
that we honor our public servants
when they make good with Sec
ond term Of Office,
why turn down Judge Shields
now. when we are in war, and the
record shows he is doing every
thing to help win the war;" is
the question frequently asked by
democrats and republicans Why,
we ask, should we not endorse him
in the hour Of a great national
crisis just as We have our con-
gresham, Thetus w. Sims, and
others whose names we can recall
If necessary
1t seems that those who oppose
Judge Shields have only one mo-
tive for their opposition-they
want another man in his place.
And, we might add, some of these
same fellows who want to encom-
pass the defeat of Judge Shields
have been using our argument in
behalf of Mr.. Sims, Governor Rye
and many others in past years.
If it is true that Mr.. Sims and
Governor Rye deserve endorse
ment, and they have; if it is true
that Judge Shields has made good,
and he has. why not give him an
endorsement, especially at a time
when our nation needs men of ex-
perience, men who will stand for
everything to win the war which
involves all that is sacred and nee
essary to our national existence
as a free and independent people9
This is no time to play politics.
The American idea Of government.
which was handed down by our
forefathers, is being fought over
today on the blood soaked plains
of France, Italy and Palestine, and
if for no other reason our national
lawmakers who have helped in the
preparations being made to win
the war should be endorsed.
Let the people see to it that pol
itics be consigned to the junk pile
in the choosing of men for con-
gress. Let this decision apply in
Senator Shields case, and he will
be elected. as he deserves, for a
second term. Camden Chronicle.

FRIDAY. JUNE IA, 1918
SUPERB vALOR

The American troops on the
western front are acq1itting them
selves with great cridit. They are
receiving much praise from their
French and English comrades.
Premier David Lloyd George in
saeading of the unsurpassed sacri-
fees for great purpose and a
high ideal, said that "one Of the
. most encouraging things was the
superb yalor and the trained skill
with which the Americans have
taken their part in the struggle
and defeated the foe, 1t is a most
encouraging thing, because there
has been a great flow of those
loops and we we're depending on
them" In his reference to Amer
leans the premier further said:
II have just returned from
France, where | met a French
Statesman who had been at the
battle front soon after the engage
ment where the Americans fought.
He WAS full of admiration, not
merely for their superb valor, but
the trained skill with which they
attacked and defeated the foe. His
report of the conduct of the Amer
lean troops, division of which
had been in action for. the first
time, was one of the most encour-
aging things that | have heard.
We know that whenever they APP
pear in battle line they will fight
in a way worthy of the great ira
ditions of their great country.
This is in itself a source of sup
port, sustenance asd encourage
ment to all those who, with anx-
ious hearts, are watching the con-
flict going on in France"
The French premier recently
stated that victory or defeat in the
battle for civilization now depends
upon America, and we are learn
ing, in the language of Frank H.
Simonds, a most interesting writer
on war questions, that a beginning
has been made by US on the bat
tlefeld, a beginning Of victory.
When our boys are there in suf-
fcient numbers, and that time, in
our opinion, will not be long de-
layed, the fighting will become
more vigorous than 1t has yet been
and we believe it will be in the
open and successful to the allies.
Encouraged by the new spirit in
spired by the fresh troops as they
enter the ranks, manifesting their
superb valor and skill, the tired
and disheartened French and En-
glisb soldiers. who have fought so
we'll and so long, will become cleo
tri6ed and new vigor, born of a
hope of early and complete vic
tory, will be thrown into the con-
fiict and Teutonic ruthlessness will
be put to an end
Our soldiers will maintain Amer
lean vaIor on the field of battle,
and the great responsibility is upon
US to maintain American patriot
ism at home by giving every sup
port possible to our boys who are
so CALAMITY meeting and lighting

"It is highly desirable that the
movement of this -four should be
financed by the merchants of your
county, if you can induce them to
do it. Then when the -four is ship
ped it will be paid for by the United

warehouse receipts or bills lading,
"This is supremely important

give it your immediate attention.
1t is only through the voluntary
sacrifices of our people, their will

even cut out altogether, wheat pro-
ducts from their rations, until the
next harvest, that we will be able
to do our whole duty to our heroic
allies. We have been large con-
