DEMOCRATS UNCOVER
REPUBLICAN SCHEME

Congressman Of Both Parties Will
Therefore Visit Paris to Gain In
formation.
Washington, March S.-Democrats
today caught on to plans Of Congress
man Julius Kahn, who will be the next
chairman Of the house committee on
military affairs, to hike to France with
a number Of Republican members and
tell the Democrats nothing of the trip.
The Democrats did not think this was
treating them fairly so they hurried
to Secretary Baker about the matter
and the result is that several Demo
cratic members, among them Con-
grcssman Sam J. Nichols, of South
Carolina, will go abroad on April for
the purpose of seeing for themselves
what conditions there are and so that
Mr.. Kahn and his Republican aides
will not be in possession of any facts
which they do not have when the
extra session Of congress begins in
June.

Madden, March 1O.-The congrega-
ton at Prospect was disappointed on
Sunday afternoon when no preacher
arrived to hold services. The pastor
was away at Poplar Springs and the
Warrior Creek Shepherd was to preach
for us. We stayed one hour longer
than the usual time for beginning and
then dispersed with the question: II
wonder where the Ford is stuck?" for
with roads almost impossible before,
the rains Of Saturday and Saturday
night surely completed the job.
Miss Abrams, one Of the well-liked
little teachers of Oakville, worshippcd
with us Sunday afternoon. She was
visiting her uncle, N. Lee Langston
Mr.. and Mrs. Pitts Henry and daugh-
ter, Talulah, spent the weekend with
Mr.. and Mrs. J. NJ. Dean. Sunday
night they and Mr.. G. w. Pronitt took
supper with Mr. and Mrs. II. L. Finley.
Mrs. Lee Langston and children, to-
gethcr with Mrs. Ophclia Milan, spent
several days at Pendleton with their
sitter, Mrs. Lila Sealwright.
Mrs. Leonard and children spent a
week recently visiting relatives and
friends near her old home, Switzcr and
Rcidville.
Miss Sarah Bryson is spending a
week with her sister, Mrs William
Byrd.
The B. Y. P. U. had a pleasant ses-
sion Sunday night with Mr.. Paul Fin
ley presiding. We are always glad to
see the young men taking active part
in religious activities OF the church.
Mr.. Bill Terry spent Saturday night
with his old comrade, J. r. Finley and
together again they shouldered their
muskets and fought their battles DER"
We are sorry to chronicle the fact
that Veteran J. r. Finley is not so
well. He is Of course 76 years young
Just little too young to shoulder an
axe and cut cord wood, though that
axe be new and shiny.
Friends and relatives throughout the
county will regret to learn that Capt.
Shaw Cunningham Is critically i'll with
pneumonia in a hospital at Philadel-
phia, a recent message to his mother
states.
There is no no decided Improvement
in the condition of Mrs. Lena Brown,
her friends will regret to hear.
Miss Hettie Cunningham and Mes
danes May Madden and Tessie Martin
attended and enjoyed the quarterly of
the Second Division held with the First
Baptist church Saturday.
The w. NJ u. of Prospect observed
the week Of prayer at the home of Mrs.
Thurman Finley. Tuesday afternoon,
Rev. and Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Fan
ME Moore, Of Laurens, were in attend
ance also
Mr.. w. Fl. Hudgens and daughter,
Miss Robbie, were visitors Sunday of
Mr.. II. S. Langston.
We wish to return thanks to the
Mcssrs. Hicks for recent favor to the
school chaps from our house. They
exchanged their top buggy for the open
one OH Wednesday last when the hard
est rain of the winter fell. And If they
hadn't what do you suppose those
chaps would have done in the hardest
part Of it coming up double-branch
hill? AS 1t was, thanks to the kind
ness OF the men from Tennessee, they
came home warn and dry, none the
worse for the terrible rainfall.

Why Wait
Spring

to decide upon a Memorial
when you can avoid almost GER
tain delay III the erection by
placing the order NOW.
For those who prefer to see
the actual stone, we now have
on display at our yards in Mil
ford and Georgetown, the largest
and most complete stock of
finished Monuments, Head
stones and Markers in the State.
A choice from this should be
comparatively easy and to make
sure of the erection during the
Spring or Summer, an early
inspection would be most ad-
vantageous.
Samples of our work can be
found in all the surrounding
cemeteries and upon request we
will submit designs and esti-
mates in detail, TO any who dc
not find it convenient to visit
the yard.

There was only one jury case, that being young man from Sulphur Rock, who was tried for resisting the draft law It was found, however, that the young man was not of draft age, 21 years. It seems he was in the employ of the Missouri-Pacific Rail- road, and in order to get the position, had to be 21 years old and gave his age as such When the time came to register he failed to do so and was arrested and bound over for a hear ing in Federal court, where his moth CT, as a witness, proved the young man not guilty.
 Among the jurors from Jackson county, who were in attendance were s. M. Beattie and Ali James of New port; R. H. Hunter and Charlie Har- rison of Tuckerman; D. D. Camp, John Pennington and Bob Ballew of Grubbs; John Gardner of Tupelo and James R. Davis of Auvergne. Attorney L. L. Campbell was there having a case in court and P. H. Van Dyke was also business visitor. J. V. Isaacs appeared before the court to be allowed to sell boat under ex- cution. c. c. Copland was witness in one of the cases.
