BURNETT SUICIDE
THEORY DOUBTED
Family Has Information Which Leads
Them To Believe Dssmsr Bur-
nett Was Murdered.

Whether Desmer o. Burnett, Hen
ry countian employed at the powder
plant in Nashville, copsngitsed suicide
or whether he was murdered re-
mains mystery, and his relatives
here are inclined to doubt the suicide
theory.
Burnett was on the police force at
the du Pont powder plant, and was
found dead in room at one Of the
Y. M. G. A. buildings at the plant,
early Friday morning, with bullet
wound in the heart. He had just
received his pay the afternoon be-
fore, and when found his pockets
were empty. He was taken to a hos
pital, but death had been instanta-
neous. A dispatch from Nashville
indicates the suicide theory and says
that domestic troubles are alleged to
have caused the act. However, Bur
nett had been married only a. little
more than week, having welded
Miss Minnie Travis, who was clerk
at the powder plant, and they are
said to have been very happy. He left
his home Thursday evening in the
best of health and seemingly happy
Being on the night force at the plant
he is recalled to have remarked to her
that he would be home early next
morning.
Burnett was the son of Black and
Henrietta Burnett, born and reared
in Henry county. He was member
Of the Christian church. His re-
mains were brought here Sunday and
inferred at Springville after servi
ces by Rev. d. T. Spaulding.

COUNTY FAIR
IS FIRST WEEK
in SEPTEMBER
Directors Meet and Definite
ly Determine on Dates of
Approaching Meet.
SEPTEMBER 1856

Biggest Carnival Company
Ever Here Is Trying To
Get Concession.

Oh, joy! Oh, boy! The big coun-
ty fair will come early this year, and
with it will come one Of the biggest
midways ever vet here, if the Reiss
Shows make connection with the
proposition of the local association.
Incidentally, the dates definitely fix
ed for the meeting are September3-
1855.
Last year the fair did not meet un-
til the second week in October, and
it had commenced to get chilly. This
time the directors have decided it Is
best to hold the meeting earlier for
TIE convenience of everybody, and
the almanac promises good weather
and moonlight nights. The meeting
this year will also be ahead of the
big Jackson fair, and too ahead of
the Tennessee State Fair at Nashville
and the Tri-State Fair at Memphis.
Thus, there is prospect Of some for
eign exhibits that otherwise would
not besabtainsble.
Unless plans get confused, the big
Nat Reiss Shows win be here for the
1919 fair association meeting. This
is reputed to be the biggest carnival
aggregation on the road today. The
advance man, who was formerly the
contracting agent for the Barnum &
Bailey shows, was here recently, and
says the Reiss Shows carry riding
devices icluding the whip, carousal,
frolic and Ferris wheel, together with
10 high-grade shows. The big fea-
ture, however, is U. s. war trophy
exhibit, the same one that caused SO
much comment recently on the lake

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

How, then, can this church sue
coed among the Jews, having moth
ing to offer them? And why should
it go to the trouble of Americana
ing the Jew? Don't its leaders know
that the Jew who is not too old to
learn and to adapt himself to his new
environment is more quickly Amer
icanized than any other foreigner ex-
cepting the Englishman, Scotchman,
and Irishman, because he is more
eager to learn, to get on, and to
make the lot of his children happier
than is the member of. any other
group? If they don't know it, let
them investigate and find it out. Do
they not know that the wealthy

ly more money and energy in
ameliorating the condition of their
poor brethren, which includes their
Americanization, than those of any
other group? Let them inform
themselves on this subject.
Our advice to our Episcopalian
friends, therefore, would be that
they attend to their own problems,
such as the revision of their prayer
book, the determination of the char
acter of their church whether it
should be more Protestant or more
Catholic, and forget the Jews alto
gether and leave them to their fate.

ABOUT UNHAPPY CHILDREN
FOR HAPPY CHILDREN.

Fortunately there are many mil
lions of happy children in the
United States. To this class un-
doubtedly belong all the children in
the homes reached by The American
Jewish World. But there are also
many children, some two millions of
them at least that are not so happy.
Let us talk about these for few
minutes and see if there is not some
thing that we can do for them.
If Congress were to try to pass
law that said that twenty-five per
cent of the children of America
should not be allowed to become
strong and healthy men and women,
should not be allowed to receive a
good enough schooling so that they
would be able to read and write,
should not be allowed to play in the
sunshine and fresh air, should have
their sweetness soured, their bloom
blighted, their little soul-life stifed
long before they reach maturity, no
community would stand for it for
one hour.
If Congress were to try to pass a
law saying that two million Ameri-
can children (among them perhaps
you or your friends) should be sent
away to some strange land, where
they were to be given poor and
scanty food, where they were to be
shut into factories, sweatshops, or
dingy homes, where they were to be
kept out of schools, where they were
to be continually watched by some
body who was always urging them
to work harder, no good man or
woman would stand for it for one
hour.
Such laws can't and won't be

labor.
