TENNESSEE OVER THE TOP.

Tennessee has gone over the top in
the Third Liberty Loan campaign,
with every county showing an over
subscription. The Sixth Federal Re-
serve District, Of which this section Of
Tennessee was part, also made a
sensational finish after tagging be-
hind throughout the campaign.
1t was never doubted but that the
Southeastern states would do their
part, but it was somewhat unpleasant
to see from day to day the position
Of the Atlanta district at the bottom
Of the list. Those in position to
understand financial affairs in the
South knew that when the final count
was made there would be no short
age in the subscriptions of this dis
trict,
The response of this district on the
last day made it unanimous through
out the country and Hindenburg may
we'll feel that he began his peace
drive too late. No better stimula-
ton to the next Liberty loan could be
administered than for the Germans
to begin another big drive on the al
lies. Every pressure on the western
front serves as press on the peck
ct book of America.
An reconsideration OF the Third
Liberty Loan is gratifying, of course,
but 1t is not the mere fact that bill
lions of dollars had been subscribed
that counts for so much as that the loan
was taken by so many individuals. It
is estimated that 100000 persons
bought bonds of this issue. which
means that 100000 persons are
now stockholders in the governments
war business. Each of them will feel
a closer relationship to the conduct
Of the war than before buying bond.
1t is most likely that each of these H.
100000 bond buyers will be ready to
subscribe for more bonds when the
next issue is announced. And there
will be other issues. The army alone
is calling for $4,000, 100000 a year,
while the navy and each of the other
will require increased
appropriations.
Tennessee has gone over the top in |
this loan and is ready to go over the
top In all that are offered.

Uncle Sam applies the same rules
Of efficiency to his civilian workers
as are making the American army the
best in the world Visitors to the
big government enterprises at Had
ley's bend and Muscle Shoals declare
that the laborers there are kept on
the move all the time. There are no
loafers on the job under a U. S. boss
The men are paid high wages it is
true, but they are earning every cent
they are paid. 1t is said that at one
place 1900 men were fired in one
day for inefficiency. The government
foremen get more work out of their
men in one day than the ordinary
foreman can produce in two days.
That's why they can afford to pay
higher wages. This war is teaching
us many things besides how to fight.
with guns and bayonets. 1t is teach
ing efficiency in all lines of work.
When laborer completes a job for
Uncle Sam he will be better laborer
for having learned how to work.

Secretary Bakers plea for no limit
on the expanded American army other
than the ability Of the war depart
ment to equip and transport the men
should be needed by the congress.
That's the kind of action the people
want. If man-power will win the war,
which it will, the American people
want to put all the men possible into
the struggle. If the first registration
does not supply sufficient number
of Glass ! men. there are many others
in Glass II and Class III and Glass
w and Glass v who can be used. Then
the young men just reaching Fl can
be registered. America can furnish
an army of 100000 if necessary
Secretary Baker has been on the
front. He knows what is needed. Let
him be the Judge of how many are
needed and don't tie his hands with
any sort of limitations.

principles for which we are fighting,
and for the determination of which
this war was inevitable It mattered
not whether the great struggle was
to be precipitated by the assassina-
ton OF a worthless archduke by a
mailman, or by some other equally as
Insignificant incident. II had to come
sooner or later 1.-The struggle between
the two forms Of government, de.
mocracy and autocracy. Scripture,
history and the prophets of literature
for centuries have been pointing to
The Day. not The Day Of the Ger
mans when Britain would be crushed,
but The Day of mankind when autoc'
racy would fall. Cold and legal minds
say that it is not sufficient to de.
clare that we are fighting ito make
the world safe for democracy" that
there must be some other and more
specific causes to justify the war.
These specific causes, violations OF
international law, infringements upon
our rights as a nation, fragrant disre-
gard for the safety Of the lives and
property of our people. were abun-
dant and were in themselves all suf-
ficient to justify our declaration of
war; but they were comparatively of
no more significance than the Bos.
mans assassination of the archduke,
when laid beside the threat to de-
mocracy. 1t will be enough for
America IL she fights only to make
the world safe for democracy. The
sons Of America who have shed their
blood on the fair fields Of France,
near the playground Of democracy's
may rest in the sleep of
glory as long as that ideal is before
the warriors who follow them.

Out in Montana they still have
some of the rugged characteristics
that marked that state in pioneer
days. The state council of defense
has issued an order that every man
be able to present proof that he has
worked five days each week at some
useful occupation or go to jail. This
applies to niilionaires as well as to
ordinary loafers and Migrants.

The sheep industry in Tennessee
will not profit so much by the estab-
lishment of numerous large herds as
by placing few sheep on every farm.
That would obviate the danger of cpl.
denies and of damage to pastures,
while at the same time causing every
farmer to become an enemy of the
worthless, sheep-killing dog. When
ever a majority of the farms in any
county are raising sheep dog laws
will not be needed, because the dog
will find it too unpleasant to reside
in that section.

BRUTAL MURDER ATTEMPTED.
Storekeeper Has Skull Crushed-His
Money Drawer is Taken.

Columbia, Aug. 11.-Mr. Altman,
living about three miles from CO.
lumbia on the Asylum road, was bru-
tally and fatally assaulted last night
by some unknown person.
MIR. Altman keeps a little store
about three miles from Columbia just
beyond Strickland's dairy. He lives
in the store building alone, and is
said to have done a small but profit
able business.
Last night between 10, and II
O'Clock D. J. Young went into the
store 20 90 some trading. He found
Mr.. Altman lying in the rear of the
sto:e with his skull crushed and his
face oceadfully disfgured. Evident
ly re had been struck three blows
with some sharp instrument. One
blow crushed the upper left side of
the skull and spattered the brains
over the floor. The third blow was
Just below the left eye and crushed
the jaw bone laying open the nasal
cavity.
Nir. Altman was lying just behind
a table in which he kept his money
drawer. The money drawer was gone,
and later search failed to find any
trace of it about the premises. Evi-
dently Mr.. Altman was struck as he
was bending over the drawer.
Immediately Sheriff Mccain and
Deputy Sheriff Heise were notified.
Sheriff Mccain went to the scene of
the assault, and Deputy Heise follow
ed with DR.. w. E. Fulmer, county
physician.
Mr. Altman was taken Immediate
ly to the Columbia Hospital and at
1:30 was still alive, but in most
desperate condition. At that hour he
was in the operating room and DR..
Fulr,er was making an examination.
Sheriff Mccain assisted by Mr.. Cul-
breth and H. L. Creighton made every
possible search for clues as to the
identity or whereabouts of the as
sailant, but discovered nothing last
night.
MIR. Altman was between 60 and
65 years of age. He lived alone in
the small one story store. building,
and is reputed to have accumulated
some savings.
There was no evidence Of any
struggle. Mr.. Altman's pistol fully
loaded was found on shelf just be-
hind the spot where he was struck
down.
DR.. Fulmer after a thorough eX-
animation at about o'clock this
morning stated that while everything
had been done that could be done
there was no hope of recovery and
that it was merely a question Of few
hours before death would come. The
skull had been crushed, the left eye
knocked out and a quantity of brains
lost.

Before a throng that packed the
Aiken Court House almost to suffoca-
ton, the candidates for Senatorial
and Congressional honors from this
congressional district made addresses
here last Thursday.
Mr.. Evans, son of Edgefeld, and
of illustrious forebears, pitched his
address on a high plane. He used
no Billingsgate, he limited at no
'cuss'' words but spoke in the even,
polished tenor of the thoroughbred
gentleman. He thought Congress-
man Byrnes had made big mistake
in not upholding the Selective Draft.
The said Selective Draft had done
wonders for America. He recited
several instances of bravery among
the soldiers now in France and
stated that the Draft had the effect
of making good soldiers out of the
negroes as nothing else could have
done.
Hon. G. L. Toole, followed the
Edgefeld speaker.
Mr.. Toole was full of debate and
denunciotion. He pitched right in.
He started in a high key and kept it
up. Losing sight of the fact that
he who controls himself is greater
than ne who controls city, he got
mad and showed it. He sailed in
hammer and tongs on Jimmie
Byrnes. Every now and then he
would pound a most voluminous
book he had placed on the desk be-
fore him and shout Il have the
records!'
He lost his head. Mr.. Toole did
not keep calm enough for his listen
ers to fully catch his words.
And then came-to use John Ed
win Stanfeld's words: The un-
crowned knight of the Arena, ;;
Theo. G. Croft, Esq, candidate for
Congress. Mr.. Croft didn't get "het
up" he held the ribbons of self con-
troll lightly and easily in his hands,
he is fluent speaker and impressed
his audience as such. He said he
would anticipate ByPnes, who was
to follow him, in explaining the en-
dorsement of the Repu blican, Car
men-for postmaster at Aiken.
Byrnes had charged him at Granite
vile with overlooking the splendid
sound hearted timber in the Demo
cratic party to endorse G. E. Carman,
who although good citizen, was
not of the Wilson Democratic faith,
and in fact was one of the Presi-
Dental Electors for Woodrow Will
sons opponent, Charles Hughes.
Mr.. Croft read dispatch from a
friend at Washington, D. c., which
stated that the records of that parti-
cular case were destroyed, but also
stated that 1T appears that Theo. G.
Croft did endorse Carman.'
The speaker stated he was not
sure that he had signed his name to
the endorsement, but if he had he
was man enough to acknowledge

Of course, advertise them as enthus

The museums, of the country are
rapidly coming into prominence as

For many years the American Mu-

of the curators has been to classify
these in the simplest way possible and
make the museum really usable or

given to any student who asks.it, and
the popularity of such a workshop
is naturally growing. Whole classes
go 10 study the design on old fabrics,
and the material which has hieherto
been known to comparatively few
people is now becoming familiar to
many.
