Some opposition has developed among members of the

committee against the proposal to leave to the decision
OF Secretary of the Treasury Glass all the details of the
fifth liberty loan Mr. Glass suggests he be permitted to
fix the amount of the loan between the limits of IS OOO
100000 and $4,000 the interest rate and other
conditions which, he says cannot at this time be deter
mined.

after gather enough cigars on Satur
day to last them till Monday. In the
meantime, if Newport is surprised al
our Sunday observance, so much the
worse for Newport.
Upon the whole, therefore, we won
der whether our excruciating sym.
pathy for the unhappy smokers is
quite judicious enough. Their desti-
tuition was most pathetic, certainly.
We can well understand their an
.guish. But it is possible for us to
sacrifice larger interests to our pity
for these strangers. Perhaps the
needed rest of clerks and the moral
welfare of Greeneville are, after all,
considerations almost as weighty as
the convenience of improvident smok-
ers In fact, it would seem that the
enforcement of our Sunday laws had
mabye better be continued, even at
the risk of surprising and disappoint-
ing our Newport friends. We hope
that they will come to see us often;
hut we desire that they shall find
Greeneville not only beautiful, hos
and enterprising town but
also God-fearing and law-abiding
one. 1t is to be hoped that our citi-
zens will not allow their commisera-
ton of few joy-riders or their own
selfish concerns to withhold them
from a most cordial support of our
Mayor and Aldermen in their effort
to enforce not only a city ordinance
but law of this state and a COM

A Tragedy In Greeneville

A Tragedy IN Greeneville.
Editor The Sun:
Yesterdays Sun contained new
: item that awakened the sympathy o.
every smoker who read it. We were
told that some folks came from New
port and couldn't get = cigar on Sun
day in our dreadful puritanical town
Oh the agony of it! And to think OF
having to drive all the way back to
Newport with the gnawing hunger
for just Whit or two unsatisfied
That hour and half in transit must
have seemed an age. Let us hope
that no profanity at the expense of
this "old-fashioned" burg was releas-
ed The provocation, one must ad-
NIT, was very considerable. You
never want cigar half so bad as
when you can't get it. Then life seems
scarcely worth while. If one of that
party, crazed with an overmastering
desire for smoke, had committed
suicide, our awful Sunday-closing
laws would have been responsible for
MS untimely demise.
But-honest now, Mr.. Editor-do
you think it was really impossible to
get cigar in Greeneville last Sun
day? Are the laws of Tennessee and
the wishes of large part of our pop
ulation being so scrupulously obeyed
as all that? If such is the case, we
have reason to be extremely proud of
our citizenship. A town in which
every merchant, and hotel, and res
taurant-keeper so carefully abides by
the law that not single one will heed
che brides and entreaties of famished

and. Hats off to Greeneville! Not
4 cigar can be had here on the Lords
Day, though rivers of tears be shed

After all, though, was the disap-
continent of our Newport visitors so
'ery tragic, that we should repeal or
gnore our ordinance against Sunday
elling in order that they may be

lately no deaths have resulted. And

contrast between life in the most prim-

The forthcoming production gives
the concluding chapters of "Tarzan of

Edgar Rice Burroughs, which made

The same pulse-stirring atmosphere
of the unexplored jungles of the Afri-

and equally wild savages struggle for
domination, is shown, with Tarzan as
the ruling spirit, and in addition a
strong love story leads this mighty
hero into maze of adventures in the
great world beyond the ocean that

After he has shot O'Brien during a
raid on his ranch, Dixie approaches
Pancha. The girl offers furious re-

j finally exhausted and blood streams
from her mouth Then Dixie binds
her to his horse and takes her to his
lonely ranch.
His squaw dashes off to tell the
sheriff of Pancha's plight and when
