PROBE PARTY COMES
TO NASHVILLE, TENN.

,Chas. A. Hayden writing to the
Nashville Banner from Washington
last Saturday, made the statement
that Nashville would probably be Wis
tied early in November by sub
committee of the House committee on
war expenditures, the purpose being
to inspect the Old Hickory Powder
Plant. We wonder if the sub-commit-
tee will make any discoveries and rev.
alations in regard to the rumors that
in the construction Of all sorts of
government plants there was reck-
lessness of extravaganza never before
dreamed Of since men began mailing
timbers together and laying bricks on
top of each other. Thousands upon
thousands of rumors which circulated
while the Old Hickory plant, near
Nashville, the nitrate plant, near
Sheffield and the various U. S. army
camps were being constructed, led the
public to believe that dishonest con-
tractors and workmen robbed the ma
tion of millions of dollars. If ever
government made mistake of stu
penduous magnitude, Uncle Sam
made million in a bunch by sending
the pick and choice of our young men
across the ocean to fight for freedom
at dollar day and paying the vast
sums it did to contractors and work
men to stay at home and loot the tax
paying public-if said rumors had
foundation in fact. The laboring man,
like the fighting man, should have
been drafted-and the thieving con-
tractors yet imprisoned.

GOVERNOR ROBERTS
GIVES THE WARNING.

Some time ago Gov. Roberts made
known the fact that had been convey
ed to him from many places, that ne
groes were evidently making greater
purchases Of fierearms than neces-
sary. There may be nothing in it,
but considering the unsettled condo
tion and the change of negroes since
their participation in the war, it
might be we'll for the whites to be on
guard, since it has been demonstrated
that the negroes can and will act on
the quiet when they are melted by I'M
scrupulous white men and negro lead
ers to revolt against the white people.
1t is well enough to remember that in
Phillips county, Arkansas, the plan
ned uprising there was led by some Of
the oldest, most trusted and most res
pected negroes in that part of the
county. The real negro, the black, is
naturally harmless, except on occa-
sions when the brute instinct masters
him, but he can be led like a child by
the INSCRIPTIONS white man, the con-
scienceless mulatto and the avaricious
leader Of their own color. Now is a
mighty good time for the better-bal-
anced negroes to keep their fellows
out of trouble-which can have but
one ending

CHANCELLOR ROSS
CALLED AWAY.

Chancellor ]. W. Ross was holding
the October Term of the Chancery
court here last week, going each night
to his home in Jackson, Tenn, in or
der to have access to his library and
on Thursday he received a telephone
summons to come to Wartrace, East
of Nashville, because of the fact that
his aged father-in-law was not ex-
pected to survive through the night.
A telegram received from Chancellor
Ross on Friday announced that his
father-in-law, Mr.. w. w. Hord, had
passed away that morning.
Mr.. Hord was stricken in the early
summer and Mrs. Ross has been with
him from that time until his death.
We did not know Mr.. Hord person
ally, but from what Judge Ross has
told us of him, he was a fine type of
the old-time, Southern, country
gentleman, Confederate veteran and
a man who stood in the highest es-
TEEN among the people with whom
he had spent his long and useful life.
When death takes such man as we
know Mr.. Hord to have been, his place
in the state, county, or community is
hard to fill.

BAPTIST MINISTER
LED THEM ALL.

In the trans-continental air flight,
which ended last Saturday, at the
Preside, San Francisco, California,
the lead was taken and maintained by
Lieutenant Belvin W. Maynard, a
Baptist preacher, who has been dub
bed the "Flying Parson," with a sol
der as a close second and a school
teacher a good third. Maynard left
Mineola, New York Wednesday morn
ing of last week at 9:24 Eastern time,
and arrived at the Preside at 1:13
p. m, Saturday, Western time, his ac-
tual flying time being "a hours, SO
minutes and 581S seconds, while he
was on the way 55 hours and 20 min
utes and covered 2,701 miles. The SOL
der, Maj. Carl Spatz, left San Fran
cisco at 6:54 a. M, Wednesday and
reached Mineola at 6:35 p. M, Sat-
urday. Lieut. E. C. Kiel, the school
teacher, also flew from the West to
the East and reached Roosevelt
Field, Mineola only twenty seconds
behind Spatz. All three men used
Liberty motors of 400 horse power.
Counting both the East and the West,
'sixty-two flyers made the start and
five Of them had been killed before
Saturday night. Was the flight worth
the price?

Sugar was to decreed by the "Pow-

1874 cents per pound on that day-in
the cities. If it had ever been under
that price outside of the cities but few

lily commanded greater price than
that for which the government said
it should be sold-1l cents, previous

After the profiteers had robbed the
