Blount Saved Day.

From every human standpoint, the
Fund would have failed at last, had
not Blount County and Union Presby-
terry come to the rescue. Blount
put $4,000 into the rebuilding of
Carnegie Hall, and now has sub
scribed 100000 in the Centennial
Forward Fund. Including other
gifts made by Blount County people
to the fund, Blount has contributed
$4,000 to the fund, the same
amount as that given by the Cen
eral Education Board to start the
fund. In other days l have been al
most jealous of the advantage en-
joyed by college presidents who re-
ceived large support in forward
movements from local friends; but
now can hold up my head and be
fiercely proud of what "mine own
people" have achieved in enthusiasm
and self-denial for their own col
lege. How devotedly and effective
ly have these business men worked,
as if all were leaders and as if every
one felt that success depended upon
his own individual efforts! The slo-
gan at Maryville now is: "Maryville
never puts it off but puts it over"
AS 1 look over the beadroll of
donors to this local fund and see the
long row Of old students and even
children of old students of mine, and
the other dear personal friends of
mine; and also the roll of later
comers to our county who already
seem like old citizens so heartily have
they taken part with US in our local
interests; and the interesting number
of still newer names more recently
added to our citizenship who are al
ready identifying themselves with us:
and when know that very much self
denial had to be assumed by all these
friends old and new, in order to

CHAPLAIN DICKSON,
WAR HERO, IN D. c.
Honored by Citation and With
Majors Commission, Is
Visiting Niece.

Maj. Thomas J. Dickson, senior
combat chaplain on the American
front IN the world war, and better
known among soldiers as the Flower
chaplain" is visiting his niece, Mrs
Roy Porterfield. Of POOL 10th street.
Maj. Dickson, who is a veteran of
the Philippine instruction. Mexican
lSnEer on the front line than any
other American ,chaplain,'and declares
he saw more phases of front line
fighting Shan any other officer or SOL
der. },
Buried Col. Clayton of d. C.
Many American soldiers who lost
their lives on the battlefields were
buried by this chaplain, while he
superintended the burial of many
others He personally buried Col
Bertram T. Clayton of the Quarter
master Corps, who was from this city
was but day later that Maj. Dick
son assisted in bringing down the
German aviator by machine gun fire
who had caused the death, of Col
Clayton. This aviator confessed that
he had launched a torpedo which had
caused the death of Col. Clayton and
others.
That the greatest care was used in
identifying an American soldier be-
fore body was buried was the
statement of the chaplain. Every
American who was buried by him, or
under his direction, was first identi-
fed. He explained that sometimes
it was several days before identified
ton was established. Every honor
also was given to the dead in burial
service, even when the ceremonies
were conducted under heavy shell
fire, he said.
