TEACHERS HOLD
EXCELLENT MEETING
Attractive Program for
Next Session, Satur-
day, Dec. Is.

Jasper, Nov. 1.-THE Marion
County Teachers Association
held it's regular monthly meeting
in the Hign School building Sat
urday, beginning at 10 o'clock.
Ex-superintendent Sheriff., of
Nashville, who was expected to
make the principal address, was
unable to come. but is expected
at next meeting of the, Associa-
ton which will meet Dec 13.
The debate on question chat in
dividuals should not be allowed
to marry unless possessing prop
erty or money to the amount of
$500 was intensely interesting,
and debated by Bill Tate and
Sewell Childress for the affirm
ative and D A. Tate and Tobias
Huffaker for the negative. and
much to the surprise of the lat
ter who were volunteer debaters,
they won thequestion.
Important questions of school
government and work were dis
cussed by the teachers, after
which a full resume of the dis
cussion as well as other points of
school conduct were entered into
by Prof. D. A. Tate, county sup
erintendent of public instruction.
The attendance was excellent,
and great interest was manifest
ed. School work in Marion is at
a high crest at present, probably
more interest being taken in the
work both bv pupils and teachers
than ever before. The attend
ance in the schools is also much
larger than in previous years,
due, it is said, to the benefcent
effects OF the compulsory attend
ance law.
The program for the next meet
ing, Saturday, Dec. 13, is as fol-

Tuesday, the eleventh, being
the anniversary of the war end
ing and the signing of the armis-
tice, we had day given to re-
joicing and thanks to our Great
Ruler for the ending IF the great
struggle that was going on and
causing the loss of many lives.
We had a grand parade at 2
p. m. with all the soldier boys
that could be got and all the ex-
soldiers of other wars. All the
stores and schools closed to take
part in the celebrations of the
the day. 1t seemed to put new
life in the little fellows to see
the interest the little fellows
took in the maneuvers of the day.
1t was worth all of the trouble
and inconvenience it cost to be
there, and see how they all en-
joyed it.

is not right for labor to bear all
of the expense; neither is it right
for capital to bear it all. Things
should be equalized. They ought
to come together and regulate

classes should be heard on such a

say the cost of production forces
them to have to sell their pro-
ducts higher. The laborer says
the high cost Of living forces
them to have more for their la

of need. They should get to-
gether and help each other, and
all help carry the burden until
they get things equalized and ad-
justed. No one class can bear
this expense alone. All classes
should be heard and a plan be
formulated where all will finally

DEVASTATED FRANCE IS
SHOWING SIGNS OF LIFE

PARIS, July IS. Correspondence of
the Associated Press)-Lens. the most
thoroughly devastated town of the war,
is showing signs of revival, When the
Associated Press correspondent visited
this erstwhile busy coal mining center
of the department of the Pas de Calais
early this year, it still looked as though
a set fogiant sledgehammers had
pounded the whole place to atoms, To
the west of it lies the grim battlefield
OF Loois, which has the curious appear
ance of a petrified sea. The soil has
manner by thousands of poisonous gas
bombs, which have tinged the sparse
vegetation an unhealthy gray.
Before the war, Lens had 80, 900 in
habitants. When the correspondent
visited the locality in its state of hope
less desolation, there were only three
tsury optimists left, who led a cave
mans existence among the ruins. Their
nearest point to get food was Bully
Grenay, ten miles away, and there was
no transportation.
Things have been mending since. To-
day, about 5000 of the eXiled inhahit-
ants have returned. They are housed
in corrugated iron huntments former
ly used by the British army. The clean
ing up of the place, begun by Chinese
and German prisoners work squads, is
taking on more speed. The approaches
have been laid bare to cellars and UNI
foreground shelters which have been oc-
cupied by homeless "househunters.'
Even building of a sort is going on
the material used being such odd bits
Of wood, stone and iron as were still
serviceable in the huge rubbish hear
that once was Lens.
In the Pas de Calais department
alone, $50 townships and villages arc
in the same plight as Lens, or nearly
so. The task Of making these places
fit to live in again is a herculean one,
a great problem. The largest suggestion
is to use covered army motor trucks as
temporary shelters for the workers by
whose efforts Lens is to arise from its
ashes.

LONDON, July 15.-The automobile

with the view to having the import rc-
strictions IN American motor cars fur
ther relaxed II not entirely removed,
At present the importation Of motor
vehicleS and parts thereof Is limited to
30 per cent Of the 1913 imports up to
Sept | 1919, in proportionate monthly
quantities.
Sir Auckland Geddcs. president Of the
board OF trade, informed the automo-
bile importers that no Increase In i'm

Sir Auckland said that the board Of

Of view the matter Of maintaining Great
Britain's financial position and therefore

FORMER KAISER WORRIES
FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES

AMERONGEN, July Is. Correspond
ence Of the Associated Press.)-The
former German emperor has been dis
GUESSING his financial problems for more
h a week with Doctor j. hrtege,
who has been in charge of the imperial
estates and funds in Germany since the
Hohenz0llern abdicatiOn.
DR.. Kriege, one of the former Ger
man functionaries of the German for
eign office, has been here in confer
enCe with Herr HohenZollern when the
latter was not engaged In wCod-Sawing.
The marshal of the German emporors
court, Won Gontard, also participated
in the discussions,
The former emperor Is not short of
money, as he possessed a considerable
amount on deposit in Holland before
war began. This was added to appreci-
ably while hostilities were In progress.
During the few stirring weeks preeed-
ing his abdication, William and his fol-
lowers transferred further large ill
in ready cash.
But William is troubled as to the
fate Of his real estate, He possessed
no fewer than 55 castles, hunting boxes
and country seats scattered oVer the
! empire. The revenues OF these prop
critics are for the present at least IN
the hands of the new government when
hitherto has paid from their proceeds
all Herr Hohenzollern's bill, forwarded
to- Berlin for settlement, These az
counts have been quite formidable, as

pay for everything he consumes, a. well
as for his accommodation and the up+
keep of his suite. besides paying the
wages of the gardeners and domestics
of the Bentinck estate who render him
services while wood cutting or in the
household. ,
The expenses of the Dutch guard Of
gendarmes on duty around the castle
also fall on the Hohenzollern purse.
The German governments intention
concerning the former emperor,s pri-
vate fortune can not be CLEANED here:
Germans recently from the fatherland
declare there is a great deal OF purely
personal sympathy for William among
all classes and that it is likely he VIII!

what he owned. They say it Is prob
able that most OF the castles and coun-
try houses win be sold and the cash
result paid to Williams account, but a
number of them may be retained as
government property to be used for the
purposes of local government headquar-
ters. This they consider an equitable

QUESTION OF WOMEN AS
PRIESTS RAISES ROW

LONDON, July Is. Correspondence
Of the Associated Press.)-Excitement
attended a debate in a public meeting
held the other day in Church House,
Westminster, the headquarters Of the
Church Of England, over the question
whether women should be admitted to
the priesthood. The principal dehaters
were Miss MauoF Royden, a leader Of
the movement here for women clergy,
and the Rev. A. G. Magee, a staunCh
opponent of the scheme.
Clergymen joined with laymen and
women in kissing, booing and cheer
ing, according to the side they took.
To admit women TO the priesthood"
the Rev, Mr.. Magee declared, would be
a revolution, not an evolution. They
cannot have a revolution of that char
acter until the whole church has set its
seal upon it and God has approved
of it,"
greeted his discussion of the moral rela-
tionships likely to rise between men
and women in the church If the latter
were admitted. You cannot get away
from the sex question" he said. I'VE

Women" argued Miss Royden, de
sire women as priests, and their admis-
sion to the priesthood would make 1t
much easier for women to get help from
the church"
After quoting the New Testament to
show that the commission Of the priest
hood was given to men and women
alike in the Upper Room" at Jeru-
salem. she continued:
'The head Of the Church of Eng
land has not always been a man. Queen
Elizabeth, Queen Anne and Queen Vic

church."

into the priesthood. Women" she con-

PARTLY REMOVE
IMPORT RESTRICTIONS

NEW YORK. July 15-An official an
nouncement is made here by the French
high commission in explanation OF two
DEGREES recently issued by the French
government, under which restrictions
on imports into France were partly
removed.
Under a decree effective June 20, the
prohibition of imports was lifted on
all merchandise not enumerated in the
decree. The principal articles of mer-
chandise which remained prohibited
for the time being, except under IL
cense, are enumerated by the announce
ment as follows:
Cold storage meats, cardedN and
combed wool, cheese, spelt and meslin
in seed Of flour, %(drinksl, oil, potas-
stun, chemical products, derivatives OF
oil tar other than those obtained direct
ly by distillation Of the tar dyes derived
from tar, perfumes, twines with the
exception of binding Irvine, textiles,
news print paper, dressed or made-up
furs, gold or silver wares, jewelry,
clocks and watches, arms, powders and
munitions. musical instruments and
their parts, various articles Of luxury,
tobacco, and other materials prohibited
by special law, such as saccharine, dis
titled liquors, chemical matches, etc.
The second decree gives the table of
surtaxes ad valorem to be levied in ad-
dition to the specific duties on taxes
merchandise.
The rate Of surfaces varies with the
nature of the products under consider
alton and according to whether the gen
eral tariff or the minimum tariff is to
be applied; it ranges between s per
cent and 20 or 30 per cent, and occa-
sionally 40 per cent.
Fol example. the surtax on typewrit-
ers is 10 per cent, general tariff and
B per cent minimum tariff; that on
automobiles is 20 per cent general tar
if and 10 per cent minimum tariff for
those which are not aleardy taxed ad
valorem. For this latter, the tax Is 70
per cent. 1t has not been increased.

PLANS ARE LAID FOR
INTERNATIONAL FLYING

PARIS, July Is. Correspondence of
for international air services are now
being worked out by the French gov
eminent and it is probable that some
Of them will be ~inaugurated soon after
the peace conference has finished work
and promulgated its decisions for the
control Of aviation In addition France
will establish air routes which will be
entirely within her own boundaries n
therefore under her control alone.
One of the most ~pretentious schemes
is hat for a service which will run to
London, Paris, Marseilles, Rome, Ma
pies, Brindise and Constantinople. An
other line will be established between
Paris and Morocco, and Paris and
Madrid probably will be linked up.
There are at present two services
out of Paris, one to London and the
other to Lille and Brussels. The for
mer is at the moment for military bust
ness only but plans have been laid
for a service that will benefit the gen.
eral publicI So far there is no inten-
ton to make this a passenger service
but the feasibility Is being discussed
Of sending telegrams and special de-
livery letters between the two capitals
by air. 1t takes only about three hours
for the trip so that a telegram could
be delivered quicker in this name
than by wire. 1t is probable that a
charge Of perhaps three francs would
be made for the carrying of letters,
The line between Paris and Brussels
is for passengers and an airplane is
making one trip a week each way. The
fare Is about three hundred francs.
This service is a private enterprise run
by one of the big airplane firms, al
though it is government controlled.
Two other firms are about to start
similar services with the permission of
the government. In view of this it is
probable that no regular government
service will be established, although Of
course, military airplanes are carrying
supplies and dispatches to the front
daily. The time required to fly to
Brussels from Paris is about two hours
and a half.

Immediately the armistice was

largely OF aviation, engineer and ord
nance stores. II was not deemed ad-
visable TO dispose Of it too quickly and
finally 1t was arranged that auction
sales of all that was not disposed Of
privately should begin the latter part OF
June. There was demand for most OF
the material and our early Inquiries in
dicated that good prices would be OBJ
tanned and also that we would have
little difficulty in getting rid of every
thing we had.
