THE END OF MAN.

Man that is born of parents is of
few days and full Of microbes. He
goeth to school when a youngster and
gets the seat of his pants padded for
something he didn't do until he is
sick at heart. He groweth up like a
weed in the back yard and soon
reaches an age when he is composed
largely of feet, freckYes and appetite
for pies. About the time he gets too
long for short trousers and not long
enough for long ones he goeth away
to college and learneth how to mon
key with a. three-dollar mandolin and
play whiskey poker. He cometh
home a bigger fool than ever and
marrieth sweet young thing whose
pa is supposed to be wealthy, but
whom he consequently ascertaineth
couldn't buy the prize rooster at the
county fair. He worrieth along from
year to year, gradually acquiring off
springs until his house resembles a
Sunday school class just before the
Christmas time. He fretteth through
day and lieth awake at nights trying
to figure how to keep himself and his
dependent population out of the poor
house. Efforts are rewarded by his
daughters who run off and get mar
RE dand bring home a nice son-in-
law every few days to feast at his
home. His sons grow up and call
him governor and set him back FIVE
spot every day or two. About the
time he has acquired enough to make
it worth while for his heirs to quarrel
over, he contracts cold, and is hur-
ried away before he has time to talk
with his family. His sons blow in his
estate on bad whiskey and plug hats
and his wife puts the finishing touches
to his career by marrying the hired
man.-Exchange.

PLEADS AID FOR HOLY LAND.


Relief work on a far greater scale
than now is being administered by
the American Red Cross among the
civilian populations of the Holy Land
is Immediately necessary if thousands
of men, women and children are to
be saved, said cablegram received
at Red Cross headquarters yesterday
from DR.. John H. Finley, Red Cross
commissioner for Palestine.
0ne-third Of the population Of
Lebanon has died of starvation and
disease due to lack of nourishment,
many villages are depopulated and
in ruins and thousands of persons are
in direct need as the result of epi-
denies, prohibitive prices of food and
inability to get work, DR.. Finley saidS
Conditions in many of the hospitals
are deplorabls because of the short
age Of physicians. There are 10000
Armenian refugees in and about Da-
mascus.
DR.. Finley at the time of sending
his message had just completed a tour
of Palestine and lower Syria.

CITY SUBSCRIBERS.

The Daily Sun was stated eight
months ago. We have been running
all this time at an actual loss, in an
effort to give Greenevile< a daily
newspaper. We have appropriated the
proceeds from the publication Of The
Weekly Sun to the expense Of The
Daily Sun, in order that we might
be able TO give the afternoon paper
thorough try-out. We have re-
ceiyed the earnest support of num-
Der Of our citizens in our undertak-
ing. We are sorry to say, however,
that there are many of our very best
people who have never taken the
paper, but who still take both of the
Knoxville newspapers. We should
have fully five hundred regular SUBJ
scribers to The Daily Sun in the city
alone. This would cover only about
one-half the homes within the city
limits proper. From business
standpoint, if no other, every bust
ness firm in Greeneville should re
ceive a copy Of The Daily Sun every
afternoons it is we daresay less
than one-fourth of them are sub
scribers to it. We have made ar
rangements during the past two
weeks to increase the size of The
Daily Sun and otherwise improve its
appearance. In order that this might
be done we have installed an addi-
tional typesetting machine and other
equipment at cost of several thou
sand dollars. This machine and
equipment, however, can be used on
other work should our efforts to con-
tinue The Daily Sun prove fruitless.
The subscription price of The Daily
Sun, delivered anywhere in the city,
was placed at 15c a week. This is
little more than the larger city papers
are getting, but then we are under
taking to get out a daily newspaper
in small town with about the same
expense upon us as the larger city
papers have, and we cannot make the
same rate they do until we get estab-
lished. This rate amounts to $3.50
year. In order that we may find
out just how many of our citizens
want to see The Daily Sun continue
Just how many have sufficient faith
in it to pay for the paper yearly in
advance, we are going to accept
yearly subscriptions delivered any
where in the city by carrier, at S.
for a few days. This is a saving of
$3.50 to all who pay for the full
year in advance. At the same time a
few hundred of these subscriptions
paid in advance just now would as
sist us in meeting the heavy expense
we have been put to in getting in
shape to publish The Daily Sun. We
don't believe there is a man in
Greeneville but who wants to see this
daily newspaper continue, and the
failure Of many to support it has
been thoughtlessness on their part
they have never stopped to consider
lust what it means to the town and
community. We hope this class will
now get behind us in our efforts and
with the earnest cooperation of our
people we promise to give Greeneville
and Greene county a daily newspaper
they will not be ashamed of before
very long.
Mail us a check for SIS today for
a full years subscription to The
Daily Sun delivered by carrier in the
city. Don't all come at once!

SHOOTS A GUNMAN

DETECTIVE WRISTS A PISTOL
AWAY FOM EX-C0NVICT AND
BRINGS HIM DOWN SEVERELY
WOUNDED.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Charles Tor
ii, who, the police say, recently n
ished a fve-year term in prison for
shooting big Jack" Zelig, in 1912
was shot in the back yesterday by
his own revolver in the hands of De
tective Charles Kane, against whose
breast he had pressed the weapon a
moment before.
AS a result Tort is in St. Vincent
Hospital badly wounded. Two other
men, one wearing the United States
uniform and describing himself as
Antonio Agnolio, Company d, 308th
Infantry, Camp Upton, and the other
as Mignogna, chauffeur, were held
each in $1,000 bail by Magistrate
Grossman in Centre street court for
examination tomorrow on a charge
Of assault
Detestives Kane and Brennan OF
the left squad were walking down
Mulberry street at o'clock yester-
day morning dressed as drivers AS
they approached the restaurant at
No. 226, which is run by John Shilli-
TAM. they heard loud voices and saw
three men standing on the sidewalk
Shoot through the window" said
ere Of the men, according to the de-
tectives.
Kane stepped into doorway for
further observation. He had just time
to make out something bright in
Torti's hand when he says the latter
suddenly turned on him and thrust
a revolver against his body.
I'm an officer" said the police
man.
There was no opportunity to reach
for his own weapon, SO he grabbed
his assailant's wrist and before the
revolver could be discharged pulled
j, away from him. Tort broke away
ard started down the street as Kane
told him that he was under arrest.
The detective fired one shot from
Torti's pistol and the fugitive ran
faster The second shot sent him
ltumbling to the pavement. Mean
while Brennan had taken the other
two men into custody.
AS Tort lay on the sidewalk Kane
approached and offered aid
I'll get you yet, you -" the po-
liceman quoted the wounded man as
saying.
Agnello, after his arrest, said he
was not member of the group, but
arrived by accident at the moment
the trouble started John Shillitont
was questioned, but was able to
throw little light on the voices out
side the restaurant. He said Tort
lad been in his restaurant but not
yesterday.
The shooting of big Jack" Zelig
occurred June 8, 1912, as Zelig was
leaving the criminal courts building
after being arraigned for a shooting
ARRAY in Chatham Square saloon.
He refused to make a complaint
against his assailant, but the police
arrested Tort.

Farm & Ranch. Dallas, Tex.
Always Americans have been a
peace-loving people. After the war
is overland it will never be perma-
nently ended until the Huns have
been whipped, definitely and uncon
ditionally- we will again become a
peace loving people. We are not
now war loving people. America
has engaged in the world conflict on
to restore, and assure, people. But
it must be an enduring peace-one
which acknowledges human. right a.
bove imperial might. 1t can be had
only by the path of victory. Anv
truce could but be followed by great
er sacrifices. The love of war is a
cancerous growth eating into the vi
tails of civilization. Soothing will
not remove it. Cut out it and the
longer the world temporizes the ,leep-
er will the scaIpel have to be insert
ed. Nothing but heroic methods
will win. 1t will be much better, it
will be much cheaper. to cooperate

So far the Herald has been able to
MAKE good its resolution to do no hit
ting below the belt in this campaign.
That is to say nothing personally a.
gainst any candidate that would
necdlesslv wound his feelings, unless
driven to it in the necessary rights
of self-defense. We have not even
done it in that way though our feel
have been outraged and the courte-
sizes which we went beyond anything
like usual lengths to extend, have
been ruthlessly abused and have not
been appreciated one iofa by the OPP
positions forces. Our idea is to go
on through this way if it be possible
as we believe in the long run it pays
even though IN the heat and roar of
the campaign often the temptation
comes to dish out some of the hard
and hot stuff which is being poured
on those who hesitate not to wage
unfeeling war politically.
