peace has lowered over us for
years and been cherished and
adored; where we have been lulled
to sleep by the hum of machi,-
cry manufacturing labor savings

occasional clashes between CAPT,

in some political campaign;
where the only question of when.

having tie price; the only ques

could get the most money for the

MIR. Finley first showed tina,
he had been for Mr.. Powers
with tongue, pen and pocket book
in every race Mr.. Powers had
run for p years. but stated that
he could not be for Mr.. Powers
this time.
He said he might have been

paid the debt it owed Mr.. Powers
and cited Mr.. Powers own
statement made on the stump.
that he wanted the district to
keep him in Congress only as
long as he had been kept in pris.
on to show that MIR. Power
himself regarded the debt as
paid.
Mr., Finley pointed out that
Mr.. Powers has been in Con

tons from Local Board Carlton
was induct ed in military service
through the Local Board, and was
to have entrained for Camp Tay
Tor on Oct. 4, 1917. HIS failure
to appear or make any attempt to
communicate with the Local
Board, in explanation of his fail
ure to appear. made him a
deserter from the military ser
vice of the United States.
Carlton at once on his ares,
was brought before the Los a.
Board, who gave Deputy Sheriff
Anglin, the necessary papers tC
take him to Camp Taylor. This
Mr.. Angliu did early Thursday
morning. Carlton will at once
be indicted in military service
and if he fails to pass the physical
examination stands a good chance
of being sentenced to IA term IN
Atlanta, or some other military
prison. The sooner the people OF
the Urited States realize that we
are at war and hat all are subject
to Military Law the better. When
one learns that piomiscuous talk
ing about the President and the
Government in general led one
man to a sentence of ten years in
Atlanta, we begin to realize that
there is no room with us for any
but loyal citizens who are willing
to do their duty at all times.
Sheriff Tip Langford and
Deputy Anglin are to be con
graduated on their prompt ant
efficient work. Such work il
certainly a sign that We may ex

FOURTH MONTH.

Owing to bad weather the at

the forth month was low, espec.
tally in the lower grades.
We have had but few out on
account OF sickness until this
week. Many are now out with
mumps, otherwise school is pro.
crossing very Well indeed. Small
pox in many adjoining counties
with a few cases in this county
causes much anxiety. A few
cases of sn allpox in any of our
towns would certainly destroy
the schools for the remainder of
the term. So. it seems, that We
should spare no pains to protect
our schools against this disease.
