America for Me

Oh, London is a mans town, there's
power in the air;
And Paris is a woman's town. with
flowers in her hair:
And it's sweet TO dream in Venice.
and it's great to study Rome;
But when it comes to living, there's
no place like home.
l know that Europe's wonderful,
yet something seems to lack;
The past is too much with her, and
the people looking back,
But the glory Of the present is to
make the future free
We love our land for what she is
and what she is to he.
Oh, it's home again, home again,
America for me,
| want a ship that's westward bound
TO plow the rolling sea.
To the blessed land of room enough
beyond the ocean bars.
Where the air is fun of sunlight
and the flag is full of stars.

STARTLING RECORD
Flu During September and October
Kills Five Thousand

A compilation of deaths from
influenza and pneumonia, in Ten
nessee. during the months Of Sep
TENDER and October. from death
certificates filed with the state
board of health show a startling
record.
For the two months the total
number of deaths recorded to date
as due to epidemic influenza in
Tennessee is 4,84l. When all de-
Iayed certificates of death are re-
turned to the bureau of vital
statistics it IS though that this total
will be increased to something
more than 5000.
The November death returns are
not yet complete, but the indica-
tons are that the number of IN
fluenza deaths for this month will
be far smaller than for October,
10 some counties and in some
individual communities influenza
did not become epidemic until late
in October and for these the No
vember returns will tell the story.
The first cases of influenza in
the state seem to have occurred
about September II, and in most
counties the disease was epidemic
in the early days of October. IL
is peculiar fact that one or two
of the most remote counties in the
state were among the first invaded,
while some counties traversed by
main routes of travel escaped in
vasion for two weeks or more. 1t
was noted that one town on one of
the most travelled railroads. and a
junction point at that, had very
little influenza for two or three
weeks after the disease had assumed
epidemic proportions in other cities
not far removed.
The death rate for December
and January will not be light, and
what the final total will be is only
a matter of surmise, but it will no
doubt be astounding.
The total number of deaths
reported from Carroll county for
the two months mentioned above
was "A. While the death rate was
heavy for Carroll during those
months the epidemic has returned
in many sections with renewed
vigor and many deaths have oc-
Cured during the last two months,
and January is starting off with
indications of being a very fatal
month.

COL. ROOSEVELT DEAD
Former President Passes Away
Peacefully While Asleep

Col, Theodore Roosevelt died in
his sleep early Monday morning
at his home, Sycamore Hill, at
Oyster Bay.
Death is believed to have been
due to rheumatism. which affected
bis heart.
The colonel suffered a severe
attack of rheumatism and sciatica
on New Years day, but none
believed his illness would likely
prove fatal. The former president
sat uD most Of Sunday and retired
at IL o'clock Sunday night. About
4 a. m. Mrs. Roosevelt, who was
the only other member of the
family at Oyster Bay, went to her
husbands room and found that he
had died during the night.
Mrs. Roosevelt telephoned Col.
Emlin Roosevelt, cousin OF the
former president, and he came to
the Roosevelt home Immediately.
kilograms were dispatched to the
colone's children, whe we're in
other parts of the country. Two
of the colonies son, Maj Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr. and Capt. Kermit
Roosevelt, are in service aboard.
Capt. Archie Roosevelt and his
wife left New York Saturday night
for Boston, where the captains
wife's father is ill. Mrs. Ethel
Derby and her two children are in
Aiken, 5. 9.
kilograms of coincidence and
sympanthy began to poor in from
all parts of the country Monday
as soon as the news of Col. Roose-
velt'S death became known.
Col. Roosevelt was born in New
York, October q, 1858, and was
only 60 years old when he died.
He was called to the presidency in
1901, when only AZ years of age,
following the tragic death of Presi-
dent William Mckinley. He SER
we'd out the remainder of Nc
Kinley's term and was elected BY
the people one term.
Becoming displeased with his
presidential! successor, William
Taft, he made the race for presi.
dent against him and brought
about his defeat, insuring the
election of Wilson. He has never
admired Wilson and has severity
criticized the president and his
war measures and peace policies.

QUARTERLY COURT
The January Term Disposed Of
With Dispatch

The January term of the Car
roll county quarterly court wa,
held last Monday. and the bushes:
of the term disposed of with much
dispatch. Nearly all Of the men,
bers of the court were present and
Judge Wilson Enochs presided
and Clerk j. w. Jarrett kept the
records.
The appropriations we're made
and commissioners were appointed
for the usual bridge, levee and
road work.
The following parties were re-
leased from road work and poll
tax duty:
Arthur Cashier, j. M. Feather
stone, Carlus Alden, Charlie Gar
rett. Harwood Argo, Ernest Can
trail, r. A. McAlexander, Melvin
Robertson, Connie Graves, Harvey
Venson, Louis Sauls, Rutherford
Butler, Granville Williams, Joe
Pinson, Tom Pace, Tom j. Hardy,
Mathew Brackins, Harry Cham
bers, F. King. Jess Hutchins, Fur
man Jordan, Clint Butler, Arthur
Scott and Billie Parish.
BY a vote of nearly two to one
the court refused to make an APP
preparation for farm demonstra-
ton and home economic work for
another year. So this splendid
service and valuable work will have
to be cut out. We understand the
proposition was rejected as a mat
ter of economy, and we fear it
will be false economy.
Prof. b. T. Barnhill was re:
elected county superintendent of
public instruction without opposi-
ton. His salary was fixed at 81 900
a year. He was elected for two
year term. Prof. Barnhill makes
a splendid superintendent. giving
his entire time and energies to the
work of his Office.
The vote on the farm demon
station was for an appropriation is
to 30 against it. For home econ
omic work the vote was 5 to 81
against the appropriation.
Notary publics elected were: d.
d. Maddox and G. T. Murphy, of
the Eleventh district; A. P. Hon
per, Of the Seventh district; ".
G. Adams, of the First district;
I, j. Below, of the Fourteenth
district, and G. NJ. Bennett, of
the Sixteenth district.
