"UNHOLl SCHEME"

1t is quietly limited that an effort
will be slade to elect members of the
new chancery committee through the
Division who will favor the pltt to
hold a convention of Clerks and Mas
ters and nominate Judge Kyle to cp-
pose John Jennings, the regular re-
publican nominee. Saturday week is
the date set for electing commit
teeman from Claiborne county.
The republicans of Claiborne coun-
ty,in our judgement, will not favor
such an unholy scheme. Mr.. Jennings
contended for a primary in order that
all the people might have say in the
matter. The people are unwilling to
trust the crowd that will not trust the
people. There are several wheels
within wheels in this scheme. "Put
none but Americans on guard"

ADVERTISING PAYS

During the past ten days not less
than two-horse wagon load of mail
order catalogues has been received at
the Tazewell postoffice for distribu-
tion locally, and out on the various
rural routes served from this point
Within the same period it is a safe
estimate to say that nearly or quite
a car load have been distributed thr-
oughout Claiborne county. LIP nearly
every home you will find one to sew
eral catalogues. from different mail
order houses. Every mail carrier de-
livers daily on his route parcel post

order houses. Thousands Of dollars
are sent out of Claiborne county an
nually to mail order houses instead of
being spent with local dealers, and
the latter are responsible for it. Their
lack of business tact keeps people
from trading with them. The mat or

"In order that we may comply with
the urgent demands of the Allies fol
wheat and at the same time take cave
of our own domestic supplies we ur.
gently need this year an earlier ana
more complete marketing of the
wheat in farmers hands than usual.
The Allies are taking from fifty PER
cent of other cereals than wheat to
mix in their bread. Inasmuch as the
people in Allied countries and the SOL
diefs must be fed with bread baked
in bakeries i. is imptS ible 70, them
to prepare bread made wholly out Of
other cereals and we must furnish
them with sufficient wheat to main
tain their bakery load. | therefore ap-
peal to all of the farmers in thestate
of Tennessee that they shall bring
all of their wheat except theic nee
essary rese.'.os for seed to market
before May first. This is war call
and a service for Uncle Sam who is
fighting for his life. If your local Mil
leris unable to buy all the wheat that
is offered, market it in the other Gus
tomary trade channels through which
it will reach the food administration

FOR RICHLAND


A fast and interesting game of
basketball was played Friday after
noon between Gibbs High School and
the Richland High School on the
Richland court with a resulting score
of 36 to 13 in favor of Richland. Two
or three of Gibbs's best players were
not in this game and they mend to
try the Richland boys again Ger. The
Gibbs team was afine spirited bunch
of boys but there was no question
from the start as to who would be
the winners. Too, this is Richland
first year in the basketball realm.
Moore made as many points as any
other player in proportion to the time
he played. Caldwell Of the Gibbs team
and Moore, Conway and Frazier of
the Richland team deserve special
mention. The points and position of
the players were as follows:
Richland Gibbs
Moore, center 10 Cardwell, center
Condry, r. 16 toward Nicely, r. 8
Frazier, L. toward Vineyard, L. 1

high school building here on lasC Fri
day night. The speakers were Prof.
Chas. A. Keffer and Miss Margaret
Ambrose Of the Division of Extent
ion of the University of Tennessee.
Mr.. Keffer in his speech brought
out some of the things with which
we as Nation must deal in this
great crisis and how each of us may
do his bit. Miss Ambrose dealt with
the patiotic work of the women and
girls in the rural districts, and told
of the conditions in Belgium and con-
quered France and the work of the
women there.

The first thing that must take place in your
life and my life is conviction Of sin. The first
work Of the Holy Spirit is not to make people
happy, but miserable to bring them under
conviction Of their sins, and that conviction is
wrought through the Word Of God.
II do not take any stock in any meetings
where the Word Of God is not read and given
prominent place. In Zion, we hold to the verbal
inspiration Of the Bible Those who come to
the meetings with their Bibles in their hands
and with their hearts open to read and study it,
will have their understandings opened and will
see great light
''You cannot abide in Christ until you are
firmly united with Christ. I cannot consecrate
man to God tonight who never surrendered to
God The man to be consecrated to God must
be clean vessel. You cannot consecrate the
unclean
Eve will now go to God for the Conservation
Prayer"
