Death Of Edgar Cherry.

Edgar Cherry, aged 76, died at bis
home in Savannah Tuesday of last
week after failing health for several
months. He was known to many OF
our people. He was the only son Of
William Cherry and inherited large
properties. The old homestead on
the bank Of the Tennessee river is
historic as the house where Gen.
Grant made his headquarters and left
on April 5, 1862, for Pittsburg Ldg..
when the great battle was fought.
Thousands have visited the noted and
beautiful residence.

which his attack ON the treaty has
been on account OF Article l, which
contains the league CT nations, he now
takes new position. He formerly
| favored taking the league of nations
out Of the treaty and ratifying the
peace settlement with Germany, Now
he suddenly changes front, declares in
favor of deserting the nations asso-
ciated with us in the war and advo
Gates an unconditional peace or ne
gotiated peace with Germany.
WAS there ever q more insane In.
ternational policy proposed? In the
mixture Of poltroonery and folly. 1t ia
difficult to see which predominates
Senator Knox goes the limit He not
only proposes that we desert our
friends and abandon our obligation.
but he suggests that we release Ger.
many from all promises Of indemni-
ties and reparations.
Why not go further and propose
that We compensate Germany, that
would be a still stronger appeal to Ger
man sentiment"
Senator Hitchcock said that he had
full faith that the treaty would receive
different treatment in the senate than
tee. In the senate he said, there
are few men who favor deserting the
cause of civilization until the victory
in the field has been rendered perma-
nent by a peace settlement with ample
guarantees. In the senate are few SEN
ators who favor releasing Germany
from all responsibility for the war, few
senator's willing TO sacrifice the mate
rial interests Of the United States
which this treaty alone can protect"
In concluding what was without
doubt one of the ablest sp S,ches that
has been made in the senate for rati-
fication of the treaty without amend
ment, Senator Hitchcock said:
Il cannct close without few words
on the league of nations feature of the
treaty, which has been so persistent
ly and unreasonably attacked in this
chamber. To most CT these attacks l
have listened. They have varied.some-
what, but they all have enc character
istic in common-a tremendous exag-
geration of possible disadvantages to
this country.
"Those who conjure up these pos
sible disadvantages seem to ignore al
together the enormous advantages OF
organizing the world for peace. They
appear to have lost sight of the hor-
rors, evils and dansers of war while
in the contemplation Of possible dis
advantages under the league of ma.
tons. They make mountains out Of
molehills In reviewing difficulties in
the league plan. They are suspicious
that while it may benefit every other
nation on earth, it is so devised as to
bring disaster to the United States.
They crawl upon the ground with
microscope searching for pitfalls. and
are unable to look forward to the
promised land of peace and order and
Justice to which the new movement
leads"

We spent Wednesday of last

held at the Experimental farm
near jackson. About the usual
crowd attended, nearly all come

joining counties. The sale of
Percheron stations in which four

not fancy prices. The farm is
engaged recently in pushing

cattle hogs, horses, and mules.
This stock was in show condition
and attracted breeders in each
line. We met a number of county
farmers interested in better
farming and stock raising. The

The question of the ratifica-
tion of the League of Nations as
it now stands with no amend
ments or constructions seem to
be doomed. AL! are for ratifi-
cation Of the peace league with
amendments. That will ulti-
mately result and the sooner the
better. The Presidents speeches
thus far are not convincing on
the main issues, and will have
no effect on the senate. They
are interesting reading, but are
roseate only to those who believe
the world, are saints.

Memphis put on last week and
this a touring of freight trucks,
making three directions from
Memphis, as many as fifty trucks
and as many autoes made up the
cortege. A new era is here in
regard to short hauls of freight
and passengers by the truck SER
vice. The day of freight and
travel by rail for limited distance
has pessed. One of the greatest
benefits to arise from the change
to trucks from railroads will be
the road improvements. Trucks

wanted our messenger to tell them

up for the dirIe. It was impossible to
listen to the shells. Il you kept your
mind ON the noise for any length Of
time II would split your eardrums,
am sure. So all we could do was Ia
lay low In the shell hole and wait for
something to happen.
Then they began using shrapnel on
%. and one Of our machine gunners,
who got up from his knees to change
position. had his head taken clean OF
his shoulders. and the rest Of him
landed near my feet and squirmed a
little, like q chicken that had Just been
killed. It was awful to see the body
without any head move around that
way. and we could hardly make our
selves touch It for some time. Then
We rolled It 10 the other side Of the
hole.
Then, to one side Of us, there was
more violent explosion than any yet
The earth spouted up and fell on us.
and big clouds Of black smoke, sliding
along the ground, covered our shell
hole and hung there for some time.
One Of our sergeants. from the regular
French infantry. said 1t was q shell
from . Turkish 155-mm. howitxer.
That was only the first one. The
worst thing about them was the smoke

smoky ought to see about nfty Of those
big howitzer shells bursting. one after
another.
We could not tell what the rest Of
our line was doing or how we were
standing the awful fire, but We felt
sure they were not having any worse
time than We were. In q few minutes
We heard the good old "7bs" start
pounding. and II was like hearing an

and everybody IN our shell hole
