The Memphis Conference Of the
M. E. church, south, will be held
this year at jackson, commencing
November 20. The meeting was
to have been held November s, but
it was postponed to the above
date on account of the influenza
epidemic. This conference con-
tains the strongest workers Of the
church in West Tennessee and
Western Kentucky, and its meet
ing is always looked upon with
much interest Jackson being near
by the local church will, no doubt,
be largely represented.

GINS CLOSE DOWN
To Give Oil Mills Time to Dis
pose Of Seed Supply

Gins OF the county are closed
down this week and there is no
cotton being placed upon the mar
ket. A conference was held here
the latter part of last week by the
ginners of the county, and they
agreed to join in the movement of
the entire cotton section to close
down for one week. commencing
with last Monday.
The oil mills of the south were
so congested with seed that they
were being permitted to heat, and
great loss was being sustained.
Cotton seed contains so much food
value that the government made
the request that gins close down so
that the oil mills may catch up and
thus prevent the loss of seed. 1t
is thought that the mills will be
able to handle the supply during
the remainder of the ginning sea-
son without loss to the farmers or
the mills.

PRESTON PLEADS
Urges Tennesseans 10 Make Good
w. s. s. Pledges

7. r. Preston, state director of
savings in Tennessee, in announcing
che opening Of the final drive on
December IL for redemption Of
war savings pledges 10 Tennessee,
issued the following significant
statement:
''Of the 100000 men now in
the army and navy nearly 10000
of them are Tennesseans. Includ-
ing The United War Work cam
paign now on the state has donated
approximately $5,OO0,OOO to the
Red Cross, the Y, NJ. G, A. and
other war work. II we absorb
the full allotment Of war savings
stamps BY January /, this state
will have invested 10 Liberty bonds
and war savings stamps $1S5,000,-
600, sum equal to Is per cent of
total assessed value of all property
in Tennessee.
These donations and purchases
have not been stimulated by ma
terial favors from the government.
It is doubtful if any state in the
union has proportionately received
less. They have been prompted
by pure patriotism and the desire
to be of real service to our coun-
try in the most critical hour. One
of our great tasks for the remain
der is to pay to the United States
treasury about $40, 100000 balance
Of pledges for war savings stamps.
December III will be the final war
savings stamps pledge redemption
day. Tennessee has not failed in
a single instance to meet her en-
gagements since the war began
and we are all in this and expect
not to do our bit, but our level
best"

WAR SITUATION
Present Conditions indicate Al
Early Peace

The war situation at this time
looks very favorable to an early
peace Momentous things are trans
piring this week, all pointing to a
cessation Of hostilities.
Germany has answered Presi-
dent Wilson's note stating that the
German government now awaits
proposals for an armistice, which
shall be the FIRST step toward a
just peace. as the president has de-
scribed it in his proclamation"
There are strong indications of
an early collapse of the central
powers. Austria and Turkey are
practically OUT of the way. Both
are seeking separate peace. The
German parties in Austria, it is
reported, are forming provincial
government and will send Presi-
dent Wilson a note separate and
independent from Austria.
It is reported on good authority
that the German reichstag, by q
great majority, adopted a bill
placing the military command IN
der control Of the civil govern
ment. Because Of the fact. Gen.
Ludendorf, who has been termed
the military brains" OF Ger
many, has resigned aud his res

NATIONAL COMMITTEE
Urges Democrats to Get Out a
Full Vote

mittee writes Hon. Hill McAlisteE
chairman of the state democratic
committee, the following urgent
appeal urging the democrats of the
state to get out a fun vote.
Hon HILL MCALLIsTER,
Nashville, Tenn.
My dear Sir:
The national democratic organ
ization feels a keen interest in the
success Of the democratic can
didates for senator and congress-
men in your state. The nat.
ional administration in this period
Of supreme crisis occasioned by
the war is naturally very DESTROYS
of seeing its real friends selected
to Gil the important positions men
toned. During former wars each
national administration in charge
of the affairs of the government
has felt constrained to urge the
election of those of its political
faith to these positions. know
of no reason why there should be a
departure from this wise policy at
this time, especially since it is
generally conceded that the present
administration has conducted the
affairs of every department, bu-
reau, and division Of the govern
ment on the wisest and soundest
policies. This is Furthermore, no
time for divided councils, or for a
disturbance of that unity which is
SO essential to the continued sue
cessful prosecution of the war.
Senator John K. Shields, your
nominee for United States senator,
has rendered constant and valued
support to the national admin
stration. His wise counsel and his
splendid ability have been at the
service of the government at every
state, and national committee and
the national administration, who
are 10 an attitude to recognize and
appreciate its value most fully, arc
exceedingly DESTROYS that Senator
Shields may be reelected by both
safe and maximum majority.
/ desire also to say that the
democratic members of the Ten
nessee delegation of the House OF
Representatives have on all oc-
casions given their valued and able
cooperation to the administration
and to the government in con-
nection with all important phases

Henderson county was hit hard
BY the ''flu" epidemic. The county
papers last week recorded the
deaths Of between twelve and IF
teen of her citizens, the large ma
jority Of whom were victims OF
this malady. The disease was quite
severe in that county, and in many
cases, where pneumania followed,
was fatal.

President Wilson has not. hereto

has not moved strongly for the de-
