TREATY OF ST. PETERSBURG, 1772.
One Of the Many Efforts to straiehten Out Poland.
BY II. IRVING KING

Poland, having been taken off the
u'ap by treaty. Is now to be put
oach again by another treaty. In the
utter part of the fourteenth century
'oland was the dominant power in east
erh Europe. Her dominion extended
from me Baltic to the Dnleper and
pressed down upon Austria to the
south, while Red Russia, White Rus
ia, Black Russia and the Ukraine
were hers. Prussia was q little state
tHlddled up in corner on the Baltic.
ana surrounded on the other sides by
roland. Courland and Livonia were
foilsh provinces. The PruSSians or
borussians, We're an idolatrous tribe
VINO INDUCED in human sacrifices and
Poland called In the Teutonic knights
TO subdue them.
The Teutonic knights subdued the
Borussians, but they turned Prussia
into a militant little state which be-
gan at once wars to increase its ter
ntory. A Hohenzollern had himself
elected head Of the TeutOnic knights
and thus began the house Of Hcsieh-
xollern, and that power destined to
have such large share in the down
fall Of Poland and to be such men
see to the world, sprung from race
Of savages led by an adventurer.
AS late as 1868, when the American
colonies were already settled common
wealths, Poland was so powerful that
her king, John Sobieski, marching with
Polish army, relieved the siege of
Vienna and saved Europe from being
overrun by the Turk.
Dynasty Came to an End.
With the death of Sigismund Angus
tus in 1872, the dynasty of the old
kings came to an end and Poland
adopted q system of elective kings, and
new constitution which worked out
badly and contributed to the downfall
Of the nation. The Polish diet elected
the king. 1t consisted of q chamber
of peers and a house of representa-
tives Of the lesser mobiles. The diet
sat only six weeks each year and its
decisions were obliged TO be unani-
nous to be effective. Also there was
a recognized right Of any mobiles con-
federating together to enforce their
will by the power Of arms. Naturally
the result was discord and sometimes
civil war. Russia, the growing Prus-
sia and Austria fostered these internal
disagreements with hungry looks on
Polish territory.

OLLIE SAMSON SUCCUMBS
TO LINGERING ILLNESS

Ollie Samson died at his home in
Lancaster last Sunday after linger-
ing illness. For some thing like Is
years, Mr.. Samson has been a suf-
ferer of stomach trouble and, during
the past few months, his condition has
been critical and his family and
friends have realized for some time
that there was but little hope for his
recovery.
Mr.. Samson was a son of Mr.. Titus
Samson of Carthage. He was 48
years of age and was born and reared
near Lancaster and was a successful
farmer in that community.
Mr.. Samson is survived by his
wife, five children, his father, and
two brothers, D. Samson of Lancas-
ter and Roy Samson of Carthage.
Among Mr.. Samson's surviving chill
dren is Mrs. Johnnie Christian, whose
husband died few months ago while
with the American army in France
Funeral services were conducted in
the Lancaster Baptist church last
Monday by Rev w. E. Wauford of
WATERFOWL. Burial took place at the

who extend sympathy to the family in
their bereavement.

REV. cox TO DELIVER
A SERIES OF SERMONS

Rev. Fred B. Cox, pastor of the
Carthage Methodist church, has ar
ranged to deliver a series of nine SER
mons, beginning tonight, February 20,
on the Second Coming of Christ"
Complete announcement and the order
in which the sermons will be delivered
will be found elsewhere in this issue.
Rev. Cox is one of the Upper Cumber-
lands ablest ministers and all who can
possibly do so should hear these dis
courses. Rev. Cox is close student
of the Bible and is fluent and inter-
esting speaker. He is not the mar
row kind of preacher who expects his
hearers to accept what he has to say
without you giving it any thought.
He is a good thinker himself and he
endeavors at all times to throw light
on questions in a manner to cause his
audience to read and think. The Sec
ond Coming of Christ" is an all inn
portant subject as concerns our Chris
tan faith, and large number should
be present to get the great benefits
to be derived from these sermons.

CAN ISSUE BONDS
FOR GOOD ROADS

Our roads are in a desperately bad
shape at this time. 1t does seem that
something must be done at once.
Those who advocated direct tax for
road building have had an opportuni-
ty to demonstrate the efficiency of that
plan. They have done nothing. Now,
why not try the bond plan? We do
not have to have a special Enabling
Act in order to vote on bonds again.
There is general law for the entire
sta Oy which the Chairman of the
County Court may call a special ses-
sion of court and allow the people of
the county to vote on the question of
issuing bonds for road building pur-
poses. Should the Chairman, for any
reason, decline to call a special SEES
sion of the Court, the people then have
recourse to a petition. When ten per
cent of the voters in the last gov
ernor's election petition the Chairman
to call special session of the County
Court, he is obliged, under the law
mentioned above, to grant the petit
ton. The writer feels that this is
an opportune time to vote $500, 900
in bonds and build roads that will
draw better citizenship to the county
instead of driving away the best peo-
pie Of the county as is the case at
this time. Let us get out of the mud
where we have been so long.

THE LAST OF MRS. BRIDGE
WATERS INTERESTING TEAS

The last of Mrs. S. C. Bridgewater's
interesting teas combining with gra-
cious hospitality a profitable study
of the supreme issues of the day was
well attended last Saturday afternoon.
A well studied paper on The Conquest
of Palestine involving a consideration
of the Zionist Movement was very
clearly presented by Mrs. w. w.
Jones. Miss Alma " Ford read de-
lightfully some noble verse supple
menting this subject. Miss hate
Moore read an exhaustive investiga-
ton of the old and new history of
Ukrania, showing her characteristic
manner of study and composition
which have been found most instruc-
tive by the club. Mrs. Bridgewater's
leadership was inspired at this meet
ing, as at each one, by minute study
of her subject which was, for this
time, Bolshevism in Russia. She
closed the work of the day by reading
an original appreciation of President
Wilson which deserves a place in one
of our leading magazines.
Several out-of- town guests were
present at the meeting, among them
being Mrs. Allen Burrus of Roanoke,
Virginia, who is the guest of her aunt,
Mrs. Alex Allen.
1t is to be regretted that this meet
ing closes period of intellectual
work among the women of Dixon
Springs, under the guidance of Mrs.
Bridgewater.

SMITH COUNTY SHIPS
FINE BEEF CATTLE

w. E. Myer has just sold three cars
of the best fat steers in Smith county.
The first car of steers, fed on silage,
hay, cotton seed meal and corn, made
a gain of 8 1-3 pounds per day during
part of the feeding period, and aver
aged 1919 pounds when sold, bring
ing $185.90 per head. The other two
cars, averaging 1922 pounds per
head, were bought last week by B. H.
Walden of Elmwood at $139.l1 per
head. Mr.. Walden accompanied them
to the Louisville market.
w. R. Jones, manager of Mr.. Myers
farm, will tell you that this bunch of
steers also holds record for feeding,
having gained two pounds per day
on soy bean hay. Mr.. Jones, who fed
these steers for M. Myer, is a great
believer in silage and soy beans. And
you can't blame him, for he knows
how to grow them. On IL acres, Mr..
Jones raised 116 big loads OF soy
bean hay. He advises planting 21a
bushels of bean seed per acre or rich
land and cutting the hay when the
beans begin to form in the pol
