SpiriI Of Revenge

A threat to instill a spirit Of re-
venge in German children is con-
templated in a proclamation signed
by a number Of high school teach
ers, which was published ia con-
.servative newspapers. After criti-
cising the entente. the proclama-
tion concludes:
IF we are compelled to fulfill
these peace demands, we turn
away with contempt from nations
which lacked the moral force to
suppress this criminal jugglery
and will work with all our might
to make our children and grand
children inherit this sentiment and
to keep it permanently alive in
the German nation"

known in the United States as a
lecturer, was one of the signers,

COTTON PROSPECTS
Condition Not Much Improved In
Many Sections

Little change Ia the cotton crop
prospect is indicated by reports
dated July 10, sent in by CORE.
spondents of The Commercial APP
peal, the comparison being made
with the end-June period.
Temperatures and weather con-
ditions generally have been mostly
favorable during the past three
weeks. Good progress has been
made in killing grass, but stands
have been somewhat broken in the
process.
Backsets, due to other causes,
have about. or a little more
than, offet the advantages gained
by cleaner fields. Boil weevil is
very numerous, active and becom-
ing more destructive as the plant
begins to show squares.
Compared with our estimate as
of June 20, which placed the con.
dition as Of that date at 1879 per
cent of normal, we now believe
that a condition as of July 10
would be something between u
and 70 per cent OF normal. Def
mite figures will be issued by us
on July %, as Of July 90.
The crop seems to be in good
shape for rapid Improvement from
this time forward, which it must
do within the next few weeks. or
fall much lower in the scale as a
prospect. The boil weevil is now
the source of greatest apprehen-
sion.
Distinct Improvement has been
made in Tennessee, although there
are still very many grassy fields.
Weather conditions are more ia
vorable for field work, but work
tagging on account of scarcity of
labor and indifference of tenants.
Good cotton growing weather for
the past two weeks. Good farm
ers out of the grass, but soil in
poor condition. Rains would help
in some localities, especially east
ward from a north and south line
through Jackson to the Tennessee
river. General condition of the
crop poor to very good, and from
a week to three weeks late. No
complaint ofinsects.
Thirteen counties reportsquares,
2Esquares blooms, and two re.
port immature bolls. Counties re-
porting clean fields, -; more than
50 per cent clear, 8. and less than
so per cent clear, 8.

Leasing for Oil

Nearly every acre of land in
Henderson county has been leased
by oil prospectors, most Of the
leases being held BY William G.
Naylor of Olean, N. Y. and I. S.
Hughes of Clifton, Tennessee with
a few scattering acres being held
by j. z. Sullivan. registrar of the
county, and Joseph Holmes, an
other prospector.
Mr.. Naylor, who comes from the
older oil fields of the north, has
been investigating the oil prospects
in Henderson and Madison coun-
ties and says they look very good
to him; equally as good as the
Kentucky field which is now so
profitable.

A CONCRETE RESERVOIR
Needed improvements at Water
and Light Plant

We understand that the board
Of mayor and aldermen have con
tracted with L. H. Jolly for the
construction Of reservoir at the
water plant. The reservoir " II
be constraetedof concrete, octag
onal in shape, and will be twelve
feet high inside and twenty-four
feet in diameter, and will contain
10000 gallons of water. The job
is to be completed in thirty days
The purpose of this improve
meut is to be able to have on hand
at all times plenty of water to fight
fire. flush the mains and supply the
demands Of the town. The wells
are too week to meet present de.
mands in these particulars and BY
filing the reservoir between mid
night and day while water is not
being used in town, ample supply
will be kept on hand to meet all
requirements.
This is an improvement tai
should have been made some time
ago. and we are glad the bosrdI has
undertaken the job.

PEACE PACT WAR
Wilson VIII Fight TO Have the
Treaty Adopted by Senate

President Wilson will fight to the
last ditch to have the peace treaty
adopted by the United States Senate
without change or reservation. The
republican opposition will use every
effort to have changes made in the
pact.
Sometime ago the opposition claim
ed that they would be able to defeat
ratification of the peace treaty, bas-
ing their opposition principally to the
league of nations Seeing their ina
bility to do this, they are now direct
ing their fight for certain reservations.
President Wilson on his return
from France presented to the senate
the treaty and made clear-cut and
forceful explanation Of its purpose.
The democratic members and the gall
leries gave him a cordial reception
and cheered his speech heartily, but
the republicans were sullen and re-
polling in their treatment of the presi-
dent.
Since his arrival in Washington,
the President has dealt personally
with certain democratic senators who
were reported to be wavering in their
support of the treaty. AS result Of
these conferences Mr.. Wilson was
said by the men closest to him to be
certain that there will not be more
than one democratic senator-Reed
of Missouri-recorded in favor of any
modification of the treaty. The
President also believes that, so far as
the Shantung agreement is oncern-
ed, he will be able to explain his ac-
tion in this connection so that GER
tain Republican votes which are lined
up in opposition to the treaty largely
because of this one provision will be
available for ratification.
The debate on the actual ratifcatio
of the treaty began Tuesday with
display of bitter determination on
both sides The fight promises to be
heated one and drawn out for some
time.

ated mass, breaking jars Of liquids
and doing much damage to the

fund is under the control of the
County High School Board and it can
place it all in the Rural High Schools

WILDER BEHIND BARS
Sheriff Alden Arrived Wiuh His
Prisoner Wednesday

Sheriff S. G. Alden arrived here with
his prisoner, David Wilder, last We'd
nesday morning at 1882, and placed
him behind the bars at the county
Jail where he will remain until his
case is disposed Of by the circuit
court of Carroll county.
David Wilder is wanted here for
a crime committed six years ago.
July IL, 1913 he shot and killed
Mrs. Bette Green, wife Of John
Green and fired one or more shots at
his own wife, Mrs Lille Wilder,
daughter Of the murdered woman.
Mrs. Wilder dropped to the ground
and the husband turned away from
the scene believing he had killed
both of the women.
Wilder left the state and went to
Canada where he remained, it is said
until the first Of this month, when
he came to his old home in Hillsman
Michigan. He arrived there July 4.
The sheriff of that county had been
notified by the local sheriff to inform
him if Wilder should ever return. Mr..
Alden received the information that
he was there and ordered his arrest,
directing the officer to hold him UNI
til he could reach Michigan.
Saturday, July 5, Sheriff Alden left
on his long journey, and after travel
ing, all told, about 2,4O0 miles, and
undergoing all kinds of discouraging
experiences, he arrived at home with
his prisoner.
Wilder had friends who indeavor-
ed to have him released on habeas
corpus proceedings before the sheriff
could reach there, but Mr. Alden had
forethought enough to advise the
court by telegram that he was on
his way, and the court held Wilder
from day to day until the sheriff ar
rived. Lawyer Defoe, who represent
ed Wilder, also requested the COVER
nor of Michigan to refuse to recog-
nize Gov. Roberts request for re-
QUESTION papers, but the governor
had already complied with the request
of the Tennessee governor, and de-
clined to recall it, although he was
urged to do So
Wilder lost on his habeas corpus
proceedings. He was then carried be-
fore the probate court upon plea Of
insanity. The judge appointed two
excellent physicians to examine him,
and after doing so they reported that
they found him of sound mind.
In these proceedings Sheriff Alden
was represented by Lawyer Garfield,
one Of the finest men, the sheriff says
he ever met. The end Of the law be-
ing reached the prisoner was turned
over to our sheriff who fastened
home with him. Wilder was hand
cuffed to the sheriff the entire dis
lance and for two nights the sheriff
did not sleep any at all.
The sheriff says he was treated
with every kindness and consideration
by the officials and the many good
citizens with whom he came in con-
tact.
No worse crime was ever committed
in this county and the sheriff deserves
the Endorsement and congratulations
Of our people. The bringing to trial
and justice criminal Of this kind
after so many years have elapsed
will do much to deter the criminals
inclined who think they can do as
they please and escape the power of
the law.
