The Debt
BY RANDALL PARRISH.

A young fellow came back TO our
town the other day, struggling along
on crutches; he had left one leg In
France. friend met him, and said
sympathetically "Pm mighty sorry,
Fred, you lost your leg" The lad
looked at him and smiled II didn't
lose my leg, Charlie" he replied quiet
Iy. IL gave It."
That is just what they have been
doing, those splendid lods of ours.
They have been giving their legs, their
arms, their eyes, their very lives, that
we might have our homes, our shops,
our farms that we might live In
peace, in prosperity, In freedom of
thought and action.
Don't we owe them anything?
Haven't we debt unpaid to the dead
| In France, to the MANNED and crippled,
who are coming home from the battle
front?
That is the appeal of the forthcom-
Ing Victory Liberty loan. 1t Is q debt
we owe-to the aviator, who went
crashing down In flames; to the dough-
boy, who went cheering over the top
/ through rain of shrapnel; to the gun
ner, who fell with the lanyard In his
hand
We can never pay it-no! Money
| does not work that miracle. Just down
| the, street from here a flag hangs In
the window of a little cottage contain
Ing two golden stars. What rs my
money, or yours, balanced against the
! priceless gift of the heart-broken fa-
| ther and mother there? If every man
In this town should throw his dollars
into the scale, those lives would weigh
the most.
Cheer and welcome those who re-
turn; honor their manhood, and thus
pay to them, In a small measure, the
debt you owe their service.
But do not forget those others, who
will not return-the voiceless dead.
You owe a greater debt to them. They
died with faith in you.

PHILIPPINES of Better Glass

Contrast the Filipinos with other
Malays and Oriental peoples" says
President Taft, "and I ask you to
name a people offering more oppor-
tunities for development along the
lines which American ideals require
than the people of these Islands To
begin with, they are a Christian peo-
lpe and they have been so for three
hundred years. They have no caste
or arbitrary customs to prevent their
development along the line of Chris
tian civilization. They differ utterly
in these respects from the East In
dians, from the Malays of Java and
the Malays of the Straits Settlements
and thus make our problems different
from and vastly easier than those of
England and Holland"

OFFICIALS ISSUING WARNING
AGAINST USE OF SACCHARlN

The use of saccharin in place of
sugar, which many housewives are
being tempted to resort to in these
days of sugar shortage, may involve
menace to health, and therefore is to
be condemned, according to special
lists in the Bureau of Chemistry, of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. In most cases housewives
have turned to this substance in their
emergency, because they do not I'M
derstand that saccharin is a harmful
drug; to consider it harmless health
full substitute for sugar is absolutely
false, says the governments chemists.
The Department of Agriculture has
received a number of inquiries from
housewives in the last few days con-
corning the properties of saccharin,
and in every case it has answered
by condemning the use of the drug
for cooking purposes. 1t calls at
tention to the fact that the Bureau
of Chemistry is now aiding in the pro-
secution of large st. Louis concern
which makes saccharin for violation
of the Food and Drugs Act.-Moul-
trie Observer.

Woodrow Wilson is the son of a
Presbyterian minister, of Scotch des-
cent, who came to this country in
early life. He was pastor of num-
Der of churches in this country, in
GLIDING one at Augusta, Ga. Mr..
Wilson was himself the president OF
Princeton University, which is Pres
byterian in its affiliations, and has
a theological department for the ed
ucation of Presbyterian ministers.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Will
son is and has been a member of the
Presbyterian Church since his youth.
We do not suppose that ne has paid
much attention to the religious be-
liefs of his appointees to office, but
we are of opinion that there are
pretty well divided among the differ
ent religious sects.
Secretary Tumulty is a Catholic,
as everybody knows, and there are
other Catholics among his appointees,
but no more than proportionate
share. Mr.. Brandeis, one of his ap-
pinrees to the Supreme Court of the
United States, is Jew.
Secretary Glass, of the Treasury,
is an Episcopalian, while the present
Mrs. Wilson is of the same faith.
There is no truth in the allega-
ton that most of the Presidents APP
pointees are Catholics, or that he
selected any of his appointees on ac-
count of religious beliefs. The Pres
ident naturally thinks that in this
country where religious freedom is
paramount that every man has a
right to his own religious beliefs,
and we have never known any con-
crete evidence Of his favoring any
particular religion in making political
appointmens.-Rome Tribune Her
aid
In addition to the above we wish
to add that President Wilson's church
in Washington is the only Southern
Presbyterian church in that city, and
its pastor is Rev. James H. Taylor,
who was born in Charleston, S. c.,
and for years was pastor of Pres
byterian church in Macon, Ga, and

THE PRESIDENTS RELIGION

So many statements have been
made in regard to the religious be-
liefs of President Wilson that some
authentic information in that regard
might be of interest to the public.
While we are not the keeper of
the Presidents conscience nor the
fixer of his religious beliefs, for the
benefit of the public we are willing
to furnish such information as we
possess in that regard.
1t has been alledged that Mr.. Will
son is d Catholic, and that the ma
jority of his appointees have been
Catholics. We think this to be un-
true, although if Mr. Wilson had
wanted to be a Catholic it's nobody's
business but his own.

quired it is not advisable to purchase
seed which give low per centage of
termination.
Where good results have ben OBJ

DO OLD SEEDS ALWAYS
CERMINAT TIE POORLY?

During the present season the
Georgia Experiment Station has re-
ceived samples of seeds from various
people who have obtained poor re-
suits with them under field condi-
tions. On making termination tests
it was found that some samples gave
a high per centage of termination,
thus indicating that the failure was
not due to the quality of the seed. In
other cases less than 10 per cent of
the seed terminated. Often inquiry
relative to the age of seed giving a
low per centage of termination dis
closed the fact that it was new seed.
In sine cases poor termination
of new seed was due to the seed hav-
ing been subjected to unfavorable
weather conditions during growth.
Rainy weather at blooming time may
result in poor fertilization and light
seed which terminate poorly. In
other cases the apparent poor ger
mination of seed may have been a
provision on the part of nature to in
sure the continuation OF the species
through having some Of the seeds re-
main dormant until the second or
third season.
Observations on a number of vege-
table seeds over period of years
has shown that the majority of them
terminate and grow we'll when sever
al years old, thus proving that seeds
grown and harvested under favorable
cnoditions may retain their vitality
for anumber of years.
Some Seedmen sell seed on the basis
of termination, and where any guam
tity of seed is to be used it is always
advisable to test samples for germin-
alton before purchasing.

T WAS way back yonder that Clarissa
Barlow made her first appearance in
Hillvile. She played in Hickshaws
Opera House. Hickshaw's stood on the
corner of Main and Depot streets, couple
of blocks from the river, and was the only
theatre in the town. But twenty four years
had gone BY then, since the close Of the
Civil War Grover Cleveland was serving
his first term in the White House The fair
sex egregious bustles. Men walked in
strange trousers which chung to the leg
like the tights of any bareback queen of
the sawdust ring and at the bottom were
rounded out in front and stffened with
buckram; in the summer time they girded
themselves about the waist with colored
sashes in the manner Of buccaneers and wild
Balkan tribesmen Horsecars jingled
through the streets of the nations cities
Automobiles had not been born. Newspaper
copy set up altogether at the case-on
"The Hilvillc Tennesseean," anyway-and
the institution of a national prohibition this
side of the millennium was deemed about
as cracked a notion as any that ever bour
geoned in the cerebral soil of Don Quixote
of La Mancha.
In the chronology Of the American stage
it was the time of "The DEVILS Auction"
and of Rcc's "Evangelne"-the same
wherein the then struggling histrion, Henry
f. Dixey, played the hind legs of the COW
with such distinction. 1t the period

of Roland Reed, Pauline Hall and Annie
Pixley, of Rose Eytinge, Corinne. Fanny
Davenport, Of Ida Conquest and Sadie Mar

Morris, Sol Smith RUSSELL Minnie Palmer
and-Clarissa Barlow. The fact is, it
a mighty long time ago.
Never hear of Clarissa Barlow? Well,
that wasn't her namenot even her stage
sobriquet but if you heard the real name
and remember back to about the end
Of the sos you at once would recognize it
AS that Of the leading woman In the COM

ton. She was advertised on the bllboards
and on the Autographs pasted up in store
windows as "the most beautiful woman on
the American stage And 80 she was--to
Lem Rose and me at least.
We were both about thirteen years old
and carried routes on "Thc Tennesseean,"
for which we received the weekly salary
OF 81. Also, there was the perquisitc Of
