abundantly provided for. The re-

truly the potent spirit of che great

the one whose anniversary was being
celebrated.
During the pleasant holidays many

Onefof the greatest young men In
America to-day IS Karl Lehman. Per-
hans. no other young man is exerting
so great an influence over the young
peonle Of the South land as Karl
Lehman. It is doubtful ii any other
young man has travelled as many
miles in the q. S. as Karl Lehman.
II is almost a certain fact that no
other young man has spoken to as
many young people as Karl Lehman,
But you ask. "who is this much
travelled young man who has spoken
to so many young people and is ex-
erting such an inhuenceg" Well,
at one time he was an infidel. His
people for generations were infdels.
He hoped tc spend his life working
as an infidel and try to uproot
christianity. But like Paul of old
he was "a chosen vessel for the
Lord" God needed him as he needs
every other young man. One night
a friend invited Karl to attend So
cial for some young christians. Leh-
man accepted the invitation. He en-
joyed himself very much. The So
cial closed by singing song and the
usual benediction-"Th Lord watch
between thee and me when we are
absent one from the other" That
was new to Karl Lehman. He want
ed to go again. He saw these young
people enjoy themselves and yet there
was something in II all he had missed
all his life. Well, he soon became an
Endeavorer and then Christian.
Then he began working for young
people thru the Christian Endeavor
movement. To-day he he Is one OF
the national secretaries and has been
travelling in the South many montkN
past. He has organized hundreds of
new societies and his influence is
growing each day.

Somebody has mailed us damna-
BILE infiammatory editorial said to be
clipped from the New York World,
one of the most bittor and. con-
temptible because coucned in lam
guage purposely intended to deceive.
1t Is the same old story Of reducing
Southern representation In Congress,
which has been threshed out in Con-
gresg ever since the reconstruction.
Republican as well as Democratic
Congresses have persistently refused
to take the matter seriously. and now
because the country is threatened
with national prohibition. the enc
mics of the reform are striking back
in this wise.
4 have been in the House Ind SEN
ate galleries and heard the question
of representation discussed number
of times. and invariably when new
member, filled with sectional hatred,
from the North or East came to Con-
gress this question came up in the
from Of bill of some kind, and just
as invariably to be shelved or side
tracked in committee by the more
rational and conservative men of that
body.
Now It is to be used again, II these
crooks and soaks and light-fingered
gentry can have their way. This
perverted, pusillanimous offensive
they intend to WELD as club on the
people Of the South.
We Gods and little fishesl
The question has been handled so
often and so much time has been
consumed in its elaboration that no
phase Of it has been omitted. The
records OF the different States show
that most of them have an educa-
tional qualification to suffrage, more
drastic in many instances than is
the rule in the Southern States. And
while the white people. the land
owners of the South, tax themselves
for the education of tho negro, yet
he has persistently dragged along
with the ignorant classes which are
not eligible for the ballot.
The South embraces the purest
strain of American citizens. We
have the negroes. but to offset the
ignorant negro population in the
South the North and East have the
aliens, or the foreign element, which
is not and should not be entitled to
suffrage.
Yet the World wants to use this
garbage of the earth for the purpose
OF sustaining Booze" and prostitu-
tion, and to revive and raise the
bloody flag against the South.

take this method OF greeting my
many friends in Obion County and
wishing for each one happy and
prosperous year, trusting that the
Esnes of each were pleasant during
the Christmas holidays.
There are several former obion
Countians living in Jackson: Mr..
w. P. Davis and family, formerly
citizens of Union City. live but two
blocks distant; Rev. Slaughter Long,
pastor of the Highland Avenue Chris
tian Church, and his father and
mother, all of Obion County. reside
here and there are others.
While we miss the oId-time friends.
yet we have not lacked for friends in
our new home. s
Our daughter, Mrs. Ramsey, and
four children, of Curve, spent the
holidays with us. hence our Christ
mas was not "kidless'' one as we
feared 1t might be. For the past
twelve years, or thereabouts, we have
had some grandchildren with us on
Christmas, and as the number at this
time is 81 we would indeed feel lost
II there were none present during
the holidays.
So far as l was able to observe
Christmas here was observed in a
safe and sane manner, so far as fire.
works and booze is concerned. But
we fear 1t was not altogether as sane
in every particular as it should have
been, considering the strenuous times
that confront the people of this ma
ton. There was doubtless thousands
of dollars spent for worthless toys
and other frivolous gifts that could
have been spent for more noble pur-
poses The membership in the Red
Cross up tosthis time has not reached
the number in Madison County that
1t should have reached. While a
great number of our boys get in the
thick of the fight across the waters,
there should be funds sufficient to
administer to their every necessary
want. We greatly fear that some of |
the over jealous good women of our
land have hurt the cause of the Red
Cross and Y. M. C. A. by soliciting
funds and sending our boys cigarettes
and cigarette papers. While we are
very much opposed to the use of al
coholic beverages, we had rather see
any one or all of our sixteen grand
sons become beer COOLERS than that
they should become cigarette fiends.
The use of tobacco in any form is
bad, but cigarettes Is the limit.
