Truth Concerning Orphans
Home Should Not Be Suppressed
BY J. c. M'oulppY.

work of the Home may learn undis-
putable facts by cooperating and cor
responding with the auditor, and send
ing all cancelled checks and other In
formation concerning the Home to
him. II is important that this be at
tended to at once, as the audit must
be closed.
The chairman of the Board of Di-
rectors has called a meeting Of the
Board for 1890 a. M, February IL,
and at that time it is expected that
the auditor will make his report. The
suppression of facts may prove detri-
mentaI instead of helpful to those who
have handled the funds of the Home.
AS has been said heretofore, every
treasurer of the Home is being audit
ed exactly alike. No Partially is be-
ing shown. AS the auditor his In his
possession the cancelled checks of
the treasurers OF the Home, those hav-
ing contributed to w. T. Boaz, John
w. Fry, or ]. w. Jackson funds that
were not intended for the Home
should make this evident. II w. T.
Boaz was handed sums for preaching,
and these were not intended for the
Home, the auditor would like to know
it. True love never suppresses the
truth. Suppression of truth is two
edged sword that cuts both ways. The
man who would place the interests of
any individual above that of the Ten
nessee Orphans Home has entirely
the wrong conception of his duty.
The Home is deserving of the hearty
support and cooperation of all good
people. 1t cannot prosper and can
not do its work successfully by sup
pressing the facts or the truth from
those who are contributing for its
support.

work, DR.. Kicks said
Il believe that the morals and
morale of the army camps where tie
American soldiers are in training are
higher than ever before in the history
fthis nation. OF course there is
some immortality; there is some in
Columbia and Pulaski and Nashville,
but ON the whole | believe that our

The Home has been favored and we'll
provided for in the past by receiving
various contributions from all parts OF

have been liberal and generous, for
which we are thankful. However, the

Our readers should not think for

With a somewhat smaller number
of mules than is customary on the
first Monday in February ON the
streets today, for the first time in the
history of trading here the monthly
mule day was extended through to-
day as a result of the fuel conserva-
ton order which closed practically all
lines of business Monday and made
the usual transactions inconvenient.
Despite the announcement that mule
day would not be held until Tuesday,
a large number of buyers and hun
dreds of farmers were in the city
Monday, but the trading was surtail-
ed and was not by any means equal
to an ordinary first Monday. 1t was
evident that more buyers, perhaps,
than ever before were in the city.
Many of them left Monday afternoon,
but some of them returned this morn
ing. and others came to swell the
numbers. The result was that compe-
tition in buying was spirited and the
highest prices ever known prevailed
Monday and again today.

shipped last night from the stock

STOOD HIGH IN PROFESSION
is Survived by His Father, Wife and
Little Child-Remains Are Being
Broght to Columbia for lnterment
at Rose Hill.

DR.. James G Williamson, Jr., one
Of Columbia's most successful and
popular young physicians, died this
morning at o'clock at Ashville, n

week ago as a last resort to regain
his health, which had been declining

to Ashville by Geo. T. Hughes, Jr.,
Briggs McLemore and his brother, DIR.
George Williamson. His wife and her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. William Frier-
son of Washington, joined him there
later.
Although the announcement of DR..
Williamson's death was not a sur
prise, it cast pail of sadness over
the hundreds of friends in this city
who had hoped for his recovery in a
brave fight for the restoration Of
health and that bouyant spirit that
had made him the admired and be,
loved friend of SO many. The remains
will be brought back to Columbia for
interment, and the arrangements will
be announced by Cakes & Nichols.
DR.. Williamson had been practicing
in association with his father in this
city since his graduation from the
medical department of Vanderbilt uni
versity in 1908. He had rapidly at
tanned a place of distinction and was
destined to become one of the fore
most men of his profession in the
state. At Vanderbilt university he
was member of the d. e. X. fratern-
ity, and since returning to Columbia
he had been prominent member of
the Masonic order, having held all
the chairs in the local lodge and be-
ing worshipful master at the time of
his death.
DIR. Williamson was the eldest son
of DIR. and Mrs. James G. Williamson.
He was born October %, 1886, was
educated at Branlam & Hughes
school and Vanderbilt university, and
was married in December 1914 to Miss
Margaret Frierson, who resided at
that time in Chattanooga Besides his
father and wife, he is survived by one
child, Margaret, five sisters, Mrs. o.

Hath Field Artillery, Camp Sewer,

Der of the First Presbyterian church
since his boyhood.
No young man ever attained a
larger place in the hearts and estima-
ton of the people of city in which
he was born, reared and entered upon
his life work than had DR.. James G.
Williamson, Jr He was brilliant in
his professional knowledge and prac-
tice, but above that he had the power
full faculty of friendship for all class
es and won the confidence of his pa
tients that is so essential to the sue
cess of a general practitioner.

TELLS BOYS TO STICK
TO THEIR STUDIES
REV. w. 3. KICKS, Y. M. C. A. ARMY
WORKERS SPEAKS TO CoLUM-
BiA HIGH PUPILS.

"Stay in school until you reach your
maturity" was the advice given the
boys of the Columbia High School this
morning by the Rev. w. B. Kicks, pas
tor of the First Methodist church
who is now engaged in Y. M c. A.
army work at Fl. Oglethorpe.
Mr.. Kicks declared that boys who
continue their education until they
are q years old will make better sol
diers when their time for service
comes and that if they are never call
ed to military service they will be
better equipped for citizenship than
if they had gone to the war now. He
said there is a patriotic service for
the boys at home. They can help
make the crops and do other things
that the men who have gone to war
have been doing.
Many soldiers in the camps who are
more than q years old have their abil-
ity for service impaired by a lack OF
education and the Y. NJ. c. A. work
ers have been compelled to organize
A. B. c. classes in many camps to
teach some of the more ignorant men
enough to make them capable Of I'M
derstanding their orders.
In explanation of the Y. M. c. A.
camp work. Mr.. Kicks said that the
red triangle stands for mental, moral
and physical strength and that it is
holding up the highest standards in
each of these essentials Pt manhood

At Melrose Meeting

The Central Minnesota Dairymen
and Buttermakers Association con-
vention, one of the most successful
ever held in Melrose, closed Wednes-
day evening of last week after two
day session. The election of officers
resulted in the retention of all of last
years officers viz: S. Bayer, Pierz,
president; L. M. Jacobs, Sank Centre,
secretary; H. B. Otte, Melrose, treas
urer.
Several prominent men in the dairy
ing business addressed the convention
among them James Sorenson, state
dairy and food commissioner.
After the program on Wednesday
the butter offered in competition for
the prizes was auctioned by F. E.
Minette of Sank Centre. There were
81 fve-pound jars of butter entered
and there at auction brought an aver
age price of 50.07, totaling $99.25
Even at the high price of butter, the
bidders were very eager for the prize
butter and some took home all they
could carry.

subject that Minnesota has or will
have before the year is far advanced,
approximately 100000 automobiles or
gasoline-driven trucks, many owned
by farmers. In addition to these, the
modern farmer in Minnesota is adopt
ing more generally gasoline engines
for pumping water, operating cream
separators and washing machines.
Another dangerous hazard has been
brought to the attention of this de-
partment, is the habit of farmers
leaving automobiles in sheds adjoining
barns and adjacent to the house. This
is dangerous practice, automobiles
should be kept in specially built
garages at safe distance from other
buildings. Although the general use
of the gasoline is increasing little has
been done by the farmer to minimize
the gasoline fire hazard. The farmer
usually buys in large quantities and
keep his gasoline supply in shea
nearby and sometimes in the barr
itself. This is a dangerous practice
and may lead not only to fire loss
but to actual loss Of life. The safest
method is to adopt some underground
storage system but, if this is found
impracticable to at least store gas,
cline away from all other buildings.
