WORK FOR RED CROSS

Mr.. j. G. Sullivan turned over his
peanut and popcorn stand to the
ladies of the Red Cross Tuesday eve
ming, giving them the entire sales
for the day. The sales amounted
to $18.25, which is a generous con-
tribution indeed from such a small
business.
We understand that Mr.. ]. R. Var
brough, Of the 10th district, donated
a pig for the same benefit, which
was ratified off, and brought $125.
The Boy Scout troop of Clopton
raised $500 for the Red Cross. Their
quota was $500. This was the first
work of that kind they had done,
and- they are to be congratulated.
Charlie Somervill's Boy Scouts, at
Mason, also did splendid service in
raising funds.

The Red Cross drive, which was
inaugurated all over the United States
on May 20, closed last Sunday, with
the total national subscription, as
audited to date, about S150,000,OO0
which surpassed the amount asked fol
by the committee in charge by $780,
100000.
The quota of Upton county was
$4,000. AS we go to press, the re-
turns indicate that $16,759.83 has
been subscribed, with very few places
yet to be heard from. This exceeds
our quota by approximately 81 per
cent-a record of which every Tipto-
nian who did his part should be
proud.
Among the many Give wires" of
this campaign, who were conspicuous
by their tireless energy and enthu-
siasm were Rev. T. Riley Davis, DIR.
In. B. Gassaway, Ben Hamblett, ]. j.
Miller, Rev. R. A. Wood, Rev w. T.
Garner, M. E. Hill, Dr. j. B. Wither-
ington, J. H. Gamble, Ed Templeton
and J. R. Wadswortrh Through the
efforts of these and other gentlemen
whose names we are forced to omit
because of the lack of space, they
were able to push their communities
way over the top. We also invite at
tention to the patriotism of the cit
liens in the Liberty and Oak Grove
neighborhoods, who subscribed almost
to man. Too much credit cannot
be given the county chairman, Mr.. J,
A. Shelton, who virtually dismissed
all thought of personal business" or
interests, and gave his w4ole-souled,
undivided attention to the drive, with
the flattering results published here.
Upton county did not quite double
her quota. Going into every cam
paign sanely and with interest, she
comes over the top every time by a
comfortable margin, leaving plenty
of "steam" for the next call, which
is sure to come. And the precedent
that this county has established, she
will hold up to the end Of this war
and let us hope that this war may
be only the beginning of her spirit
of liberality
In district No. 5, in the Quito vic
nifty, good work was done by Verge
Pennel, and the amount secured here
would have been much larger but
for the fact that solicitor from Shelby
county solicited in our county and got
more than $500. Our county chair
man has taken this matter up with
the chairman of Shelby county, and
hopes to have this amount refunded
to the credit of the 9Th district.
Especial attention is called to the
good work done by the colcred peo-
pie of the county. These people are
awake to the situation,
and are aiding in every possible way
when called upon to assist in any
cause that will promote the welfare
of our nation. @
At colored meeting in the 9th dis
trict, held at Union Hill church,
$157.45 in cash was raised. The coll
ored people at Chapel Hill church in
the 5th district raised $4,000, and the
colored people in and around Camp
ground raised $201.70 Good work was
done by Robert Aston in the col
ored settlement known as the Hawkins
in the Ord district. He
raised $123.00, and $3.50 of this
amount was raised by Mt. Pleasant

NO JOINT DEBATE IN TENN.

A dispatch from Washington to the
Memphis Commercial Appeal, dated
May 27, says that trere will be no
joint debates for congressional nom
nations in Tennessee this summer,
because the necessity of additional
revenue legislation will keep Con-
gress in session through the summer
months and probably far into fall.
In other words, the distinguished pro-
fessor-president in the White House
told the "boys" that they ought to
stay in session until the additional
revenue recommended by McAdoo is
provided for, and the admonition was
accepted without an audible murmur.
Every member or the Tennessee
in the House accepted
President Wilson's message with
good natured approval.
Senator Shields said that the presi-
dents reasons for asking Congress
to provide new revenue legislation
were unanswerable, and that as far
as he knew every Tennessee mem
Der would gladly remain in Washing
ton until fall if necessary to perfect
and pass a bill.

munities Of Salem church, st. Luke's

the vicinity Of Rialto, where DR.. Boy
land Taised about $4,000. In Gov
ington much interest was manifested,
and good work vas done by B. v.
Burchett, E. Aston and A. H. Hurt.
In all, the colored people of Upton
county subscribed about $4,000.
Mr.. Josh ]. Miller and DR.. It. B.
Gassaway chairmen of the drive in
the 18th district, request that we
extend thanks in their behalf for the
noble work done by the people in their
district. The quota allotted to them
was $500. Cash and subscriptions
to the amount of S1016.85 have been
received, a goodly amount of which
came from the colored people.
In this campaign many cases Of
patriotic sacrifice have been men
toned by solicitors. In one instance
a poor widow who is making a share
crop voluntarily offered $500 to a
solicitor-all the money she had
and asked that it be applied to this
fund. This is in striking contrast to
the gifts of some of the wealthiest
men in the county, who in some in
stances gave nothing compared to
the sacrifice made by this widow.
And in few cases, we regret to
say, not a single dollar could be Ok
tanned from men who are abundantly
able to give much to this noble cause.
Needless to say. the names of these
men have been furnished to the gov
ernmental authorities
Chairman Shelton requests that all
district and community chairmen who
have not sent in cash and pledge
cards collected send them at once to
M. A. Sherrod, county treasurer, at
the Upton County Farmers Union
Rank. This is very urgent, as the
final report must be made to head
quarters by June 1st.
The county allotment was $4,000,
but when the allotments were assign
ed to the various communities and
districts the total was somewhat
above that amount, as will be seen
below, The returns as received by
tlse chairman up to date are as fol-

LINCOLN CHAUTAUQUA
IN CITY THIS week
SEYEN-DAY PROGRAM BEGUN
LAST SATURDAY.
Programs to Date Have Been Source
of Much Entertainment as Well
as Great instruction to Local and
County People-GOOd Attendance.

The LINCOLN Chautauqua, which is
in our city for a seven-day program,
has been most entertaining and in
structive to date, giving some pro-
grams which are not only entertain
ing to lovers Of good music and good
but which are a source of
great instruction to local people.
On Saturday, which was the first
day of the engagement, there were
two good programs offered. The mu-
steal numbers were above the ordi-
nary, and Booth Lowrey, enc of eur
own southern lecturers, gave an in
teresting and humorous lecture both
afternoon and evening. The night
speech was on the subject, "Simon
Says Wig-Wag," and it is needless
to say that those who were fortunate
enough to be present were well paid
for their coming.
Sundays program was made up of
sacred music, very interesting dem
onstration Of the power Of electricity,
ms well as other experiments on the
laws of nature, and a splendid lecture
by Chief Tahan, an Indian, on "Back
TO Civilization" in which he endeav-
ored to show to his audience that
the laws and customs of the red
man compared favorahv with the
customs Of today's civilization.
Monday was an exceptional day,
with the Rita Rich Company, two
young ladies in Irish songs and dane
es. The children were delighted with
the story hour in the afternoon At
the evening entertainment Major
Povah, a Canadian officer, gave a
most instructing talk on the present
war conditions, giving some of his
experiences in the trenches on the
western battle front.
On Tuesday Nine. Lillian Ringsdorf
and company gave a pleasing pro-
cram to music lovers, and Maynard
lee Daggy gave lectures at each
performance. Mr.. Daggy's lectures
showed great power, as well as a
wonderful degree Of satirical ability,
and were among the best numbers
that have as vet appeared. He was
able to hold the attention of his au-
dience in the highest degree without
resortino to the usual line Of humor-
Gus stories, which in itself is most
remarkable incident.
Wednesdays entertainments were
splendid. The Smith-Spring- Holmes
company gave some beautiful selec-
iions, and Mrs. Louise McIntvre's adj
dress was most instructive along the
lire Of "How to Keen Vel"
Today program will consist Of mu-
steal numbers by the Kellers and lee
tures bv Mr.. Montaville Flowers. pres
dent of the chautauqua association Of
the United States. Both of these
numbers are said to be the star num-
hers of the engagement.
Friday will conclude the engage
mert, with the Americas Glee Club
MS musical entertainers and Margaret
Hall on food conservation, this ending
a most delightful week.
Much has been said IN the series
Of entertainments to prove thft the
