THE FOREIGN SITUATION.

The situation across the water
is reaching the acute stage, and
the allies are placing reinforce
ments at all stragetical points
under direction of Gen Foch.
1t is well for the American peo-
pie that the so-called Peace Trea-
ty has not been ratified. other
wise there would be a call on us
at once for forces for police duty,
if for nothing more, and the A.
merican people can we'll thank
the Providence that so far has
keepsake treaty in allegiance. as
far as they are concerned.
There are stillquite a number
of our regular troops there, and
they should be withdrawn at
once, and let these foreign scrap
pers. contesting for centuries,
have it out themselves. 1t is
folly to enrage one-half of Eu-
rope against us by continuing to.
to assist the other half.
The situation is more acute
now, is as much as Russia, once
an ally. is now practically joined
with the Germans, who are in a
state of revolution, apparently
to return to their monarchial
form of government. The Dol.
shevists have obtained the SUI
premacy in Russia and they are
the ones whose principles have
been opposed by the allied au-
thorities. and naturally they
gravitate toward an alliance with
the Germans.
The situation is one which the
News has been expecting to come.
especially from the time the Gar
was first Imprisoned and later,
Il is believed, shot by his own
subjects.

COTTON GN.


The location of a cotton gin at
Jasper is now an assured fact,
a site near depot has been pur-
chased. and the plant will be
ready for the cotton crop of 1920.
Every farmer in Marion should
plant at least one or two acres of
cotton, utilizing some of his up
land that has not been bringing
him over ten bushels of corn to
the acre. By using the proper
fertilizer for cotton on such land.
with good season. he is assured
of 5000 to $500 per acre acre re-.
turns, which is much better than
the meagre corn crop. He should
not neglect his corn crop. but
should see that he has enough
acreage of corn planted to ensure
feed for his work stock for COM
ing season.
The Jasper plant will be a
very modern plant, two-head.
70-saw gin. operated by electric
power. with which Jasper as a
manufacturing town is blessed.
The News is pleased to see the
growth OF the country seat. as
well as any other place in the
valley. and especially so when
the spirit of its citizens is toward
advancement. Jasper financiers
are awake to the idea that to
build a town you must first place
something in it to which people
will be attracted TO obtain a liv-
ing by the work of their hands.
The garage and hosiery mill care
of wonderful benefit to the town
itself, while the cotton gin is GO 1
ing to be of great advantage to
the farmers of the entire county
and section. Wheat is brought
to the excellent -four mill at JAS
per from a distance of as much
as fifty miles, and why should
not cotton for ginning be brought
the same distance or more?
In the course of time Jasper
will grow until it absorbs Sequat-
chic on the north and the two
places will be known as Jasper
and North Jasper, the name Sc
quatchie being abolished. AL

This will be made possible by

movement and should be encour-

UNCLE TOMS LETTER

k&&3&aA34&4AA&2A4aAS4aaa4&
My grandfather Miles was a
one legged man and lived on rhe
headwaters of Stones River,
close to Short Mountain. He like
many others wanted more elbow
room, 50 Wetumpka was his chos-
en- place. He moved there about
one year before the Indians left
the country. My wife's mother
was ayoung woman at the time
and coming into such close prox-
unity to the Indians she noticed
their manner of life and conduct
with a degree of curiosity.
Granddaddy and grandmother
paid no attention to them.
There was a young squaw that
took a fancy to her younger sis
ter, Alkaline, She would come
every day to see Alkaline. Grand
daddy had a dog that hated the
Indians and would chase them
every, chance he got. They gen.
orally kept the dog tied on ac-
count of the Indians passing the
road every day. They were
camped at the back of the field.
and almost in sight. The sold
iers were driving them into camp
for the purpose Of taking them
west. The soldiers didn't go
among the Indians as you may
suppose to get them into camp,
but they would march around
thru the country and play their
music and the Indians would hear
itand break in a run for their,
camp.
They were six months or more
getting them into camp. There
was great many mad Indians
and the mad ones wouldn't speak
to you. or let on that they ever
saw you. Granddaddy told the
children not to notice the tnad1
Indians when passing the house.
You could always know the mad
ones by the paint they had on
their faces.
! This young squaw was very
friendly and would tell them |
what was going on. but no Indian |
will come to your house and hol-
Ter or knock, but will slip up and I
peep in at the door. and if you
see them they will come in, if |
not they will draw back and then
peep in again until you see them.
This squaw came one day and
the dog was loose, and she began
her peeping process. When the
dog discovered her and made a
lunge at her she made a leap and
landed about the middle of the
house and cried out, "E fagh ge
buckee dab. She meant dog
bite her. They were all at din
ner. and it tickled them so they
quit eating. Granddaddy told
her she must let herself be known
or E fab might bite her. She
could talk our language but was
too contrary to do so.
They would take the entrails
put of any dead animal. carry
hem to their camp and eat them.
Every Saturday they would go
o Wetumpka and get liquor, and
when they got back to camp they
would build a big log heap fire

STUDENTS DUCK FACULTY

In order to promote school spirit
the students of the Fort Hayes Nor
NAL school, in Kansas, led by the CO.
eds, resorted to force and applied that
force even to the professors. The
president upon leaving on business
trip suggested a half-holiday when
all could get together and build a
running track for the school. The
girls were to prepare dinner for the
workers, and it was they who ,sug-
gested that the men who did not help
should be ducked in the lake. The
first to be ducked was the editor of
the college paper. Though he could
not swim he was pitched into water
over his head. The next was a pro-
fessor captured on his way to the
classroom. Another professor plung-
ed into the lake of his own accord to
escape the pursuing students. The
faculty members telegraphed the au-
thorities at Topeka for protection,
and the attorney general promised to
prosecute those responsible for tho
disorders.

KENTUCKY MINERS GET
LIBERAL PAY INCREASE

Increases in wages for nearly all
classes of mine workers, ranging from
20 to 43 per cent, and averaging
about 81 day for all workmen af-
fected, were agreed on by representa-
tives of miners and operators of Dis
trict No. 23, United Mine Workers,
and the Western Kentucky Coal OPP
orators Association, at conference
yesterday at the Seelbach.
Leaders are given a flat increase
of "a cents a ton; drivers now receive
$500 a day and inside laborers $5.O9
a day under terms of the agreement,
which will continue in force for two
years.
These increases are the second
given the miners recently, the first,
amounting to IA per cent, having
been awarded December IA, and the
second April 1, of II per cent.
Operators say the wage scale in eff
feet now is even higher than the scale
necessary to meet the 27 per cent in
crease authorized by the special soft
coal commission appointed by Presi-
dent Wilson.

1t is to be presumed that President
Wilson's emerging from partial seclu-
sion and darkness, in the cabinet
meeting held Wednesday, is as a sta
tion on the way toward broad open
daylight. In the matter of his ply
steal health, as President of the U. S.
A., and as a citizen, we are OF those
who are hoping that the measure of
health regained may be permanent
and if not now so, that it may also be
complete. Many things have happen
ed since Mr.. Wilson has spent much
of his time in analyzing the public's
mind,if he ever condescended to take
thought of the things that ordinarily
run through the minds of the COM
mon layman. There can be no Ques-
tion of his being a master mind, but
the great trouble with it is, he sees
only in one groove, the Wilson way,
Their is no other, and by that much he
is pigmy. No man liz this country
ever attempted to play a greater game
in politics, politics of the most pro-
nounced undemocratic type, at that.
None, other than himself, since his
regime, have been fit to cope with
big questions and to act thereon. To
do your own breathing in matters
where he was, or could be, supreme
meant that you were to lose your
breath AS a rule other master
minds and adopts in state craft be-
longing to Democrats have been kept
out of the Wilson political family,
and if by chance they got in or de-
veloped after being in, by first one
chance and another, they went out.
BY Wilson's mountainous political
blunders, some, the most partisan and
bitterest type of any ever attempted
by any of those who had heretofore
been elected as Presidnt of the Re-
public. His extreme partisanship, his
ego in trying to discredit all opposi-
tion to his manners and methods and
his don't care what happens if he is
not to have his own way about things,
will cause him to leave the White
House the most discredited and least
loved President who ever served, with
all save his extreme partisan follow
ers.
