HAVEN'T HEARD OF SLUMP"

Memphis, Tenn, Aug. 22.-"The
extravagant buying of Injuries and
high-priced wearing apparel is about
at an end" said Norman H. Johnson
of Richmond, Va, secretary Of the
Southern Wholesale Dry-Goods Asso-
citation, in an address before the Cot
ton States Merchants Association
convention. Retail merchants may
expect general slackening of trade
during the next five MONTHS" he said,
largely because of the rising cost of
food and other absolute necessities
will tax the resources Of most of the
people. The commercial pendulum is
swinging backward again and it is
time for close buying and careful es-
timating by all merchants. The period
of readjustment in commercial life in
this country, which began with a ire
mendous slump in prices of many ar
ticles, and now has reached a period
of greater advances, is about ready
for stabilizing influences"

WHAT THE HIGHWAY COMMITS
SION is DOING.
(By the Secretary

The awful sandbed on the Hunting
don road has a nice coat of clay on it.
1t looks fine now and is appreciated
by the public.
L. B. Johnson, Chairman of the
Commission, was in Scots Hill last
Friday and found everybody talking
good roads.
Several citizens on the Purdy road
have been in this week and they say
that the county teams and hands are
doing some excellent work for them.
We are delighted to serve them.
The Pioneer Tractor is moving to.
ward Widersvile. 1t will go thence
through the old eighth district to Bar
gerton, according to the Supervisors
plans.
Decatur County has begun with
its new Pioneer tractor to grade the
road from SCOTS Hill to Decaturville.
Our Flower City tractor is also begin
ming at Scots Hill and will grade
the road this way to Lexington. We
will soon have another graded road
into Decatur county.
ESQ. r. /. Douglass, District Su-
pervisor, was in town Monday and
was relating the great interest of the
people in the road business. He says
that a great portion of his overseers
are men above the age of fifty years.
Several citizens of the county have
come in and told us that they had
been informed that if they worked
the road their ten days on the road
the Commission will dishonor it and
enforce the payment of the ten dol
lars communication tax. This report
is untrue. 1t could not be true. The
creature is not greater than the crea-
tor. The law does not assess you
with but one. When your overseer
reports you to have worked, that set
ties the question. We trust that we
have not appointed an overseer who
will make false returns on his neigh
Dor.
Let all the overseers Of the county
warn their hands as early as possible
so that the people may get their time
in before they have to 60 to the field.
If there be any section Of road in
the county which does not have an
overseer, the Commission will be glad
TO have their attention called to it.
Prof. Powrs said in his notes to
the farmer last week of the big things
in agriculture, road building, schools
and churches. He is right. They are
the big Four" without which no
country can be its own. Let's have
more unity. Let's have more con-
structive criticism and less Of the de-
structive nature.

| His achievements were so brilliant,
his personality so dominating, his
purposes so righteous, his cause so
unselfish that a failure to ratify
what he has done because of some OBJ
jectionable features seems to me to
be objectionable. After Mr.. Wilson
appearing as the central figure in the
vast undertaking and returning home
with such pronounced success, it
seemed that from the patriotism of
the country, which was so universal,
there sprung up partisan spirit on
the part of the leaders in the opposing
party, and that they have in order to
gain partisan advantage, to predi-
cate any kind of an imaginable OBJ
lection to the treaty of peace. This
effort is headed by Senator Lodge,
whose political career has been
through all the years utterly distaste-
full to southern Democrats, that we
cannot reconcile ourselves to the fact
that you are giving him aid and COM
fort in his attack on the league of ma
tons and treaty of peace, and there
by incidentally aiding him in defeat
ing the wonderful work of Mr.. Will
son.
have not doubt but that you-are
misrepresenting at least nine tenths
of the Democrats of Tennessee in this
unexpected position you have taken
on this matter, and if time will per-
NIT you owe it to the people of Ten
nessee to resign your position in the
Senate and Immediately go before
them for Endorsement Of your effort
and action in this matter and why
not you? To misrepresent the people
in this world affair is an intolerable
thought; to take a chance of misrep-
resenting them when there is way
to ascertain their will is to be time
server. You likely have some idea
how long the debate will be drawn
out and whether or not you will have
the time to take the course suggested.
The American soldier has won the
imperishable glory for this nation.
Mr.. Wilson has cemented it and you
have no right to block the way for
redemption of the world.
As one of your constituents pro-
test, respectfully but openly and most
vigorously, against your attitude.
Respectfully submitted,

LET THE PEOPLE RULE.

There is going to be coal famine,
so the mine owners say. Why? Is
it because there. is a scarcity of coal
and miners can not be gotten? Not
at all. Winter will soon be here and
people must have coal, so they ad-
vance the price and cry coal famine.
The price of shoes is advancing.
Scarcity of hides they say; and yet it
is known that the packers have mil
lions of dollars worth of hides stored
away.
Sugar advances. Why? Is there
scarcity? Not at all. The can
ming season is on, and sugar must be
had regardless of the price. So the
manipulators put up the price.
Coffee confines to advance. Scar
city of coffee? Not at all. The
owners of coffee plantations in Bra
I'll tell US that train loads of coffee
are going to waste there, yet the
price continues to advance.
And so it is all along the line; the
law of supply and demand has moth
ing to do with prices these days. 1t
is just question with the manipu-
lators of how long the public will
stand for it. When the Government
takes a hand in the affair and
chokes off the profiteer, it won't have
to pay so much attention to Social
ism and other isms now so rampant in
this country.-Sparta News.

WRITES SENATOR SHIELDS.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Aug. 23-De
manding that United States Senator
Shields change his attitude on the
league Of nations covenant or resign
and again go before the people Of
Tennessee in order that they may
have an opportunity of expressing
their sentiment, former Attorney
General Matt N. Whitiker has writ
ten an open letter to the Senator
which was made public today.
Senator Shields is accused by
Gen. Whitaker of giving aid and COM
fort to Senator Lodge, Republican
floor leader, in the latter's efforts to
discredit the work of President Will
son in the interest of world human
ity. On. Whitaker charges that the
senior Senator is disappearing 80
per cent. of the people of Tennessee
in opposing the peace treaty and cove
nant and demands that the public be
assured before a vote is taken in the
Senate of ratification.
Following is the letter addressed
to Senator Shields by General Whit
taker:
Senator John X. Shields,
Washington, D. c.
My dear Senator Shields write
you this open letter to express pub
licly the great surprise and deep re-
greet at your announced purpose to
oppose the treaty of peace and the
league Of nations as it is now pre-
sented to the Senate. Of course, /
cannot undertake to discuss with you
this famous document in this brief
letter, but it does seem to me that
every far sighted American should
know that as the result of this world
war the old order of things has
passed away and new order of things
war the old order of things has
has come and that we must be able
to address ourselves and adjust our
selves to this new order of things.
We must lift our vision and see the
world in place of being contented at
simply seeing this country. The
crust of isolation which has sur
rounded us has been broken and we
have stepped into the middle Of the
world and are now the central COM
handing figure. All the world has
come to see and recognize that this
country is the greatest world power
on earth; greatest in war; greatest in
peace, greatest in idealism, greatest in
promoting Christianity.
With the dauntless heriosm of the
American soldier consumed with the
American spirit when he. got into
action, the bloodiest war in all history
was brought to a more speedy and
successful conclusion by year or two
than any of us hoped for, and with
