SAVING PAPER

All of the daily newspapers in
North Carolina, both morning and aft

Christmas day as means for the con-
servation Of print paper. They will
do the same thing on, New Years day.
Several OF the great dailies of New
York did the same thing So far as
The Herald has observed no daily
in this state, accustomed to issue a
paper on Christmas day, observed a
holiday. The daily papers of Tennes-
see are not entering as wholehearted-
~ into the paper conservation cam
paign as one could desire. They are
still carrying all of their comics and
features and other trash that could
be eliminated most profitably
In the language Of Grover Cleve

fronts the papers of the nation. II
the consumption of the past six
months is maintained this year q
number of papers will have to sus
pend because Of lack of material upon

ten per cent above the maximum
capacity of the mills. This capacity

shortage has had the inevitable resul
of forcing prices to the highest leve

has blessed mankind, 1t win continue
to cost much in blood and treasure TO
maintain its principles. This paper
does not believe that the real patriots
OF America win hesitate now TO make
further sacrifices IL necessary that the
benign blessings of the republic may
be transmitted to their children and
their childrens children
1t requires no. argument TO- show
that the issue between the unions and
the congress is fundamental. II is,
vital 1t is not question Of the mef-
it's of the controversy, but the sole is
sue is, whether the congress OF the
United States representing all the
people Of America shall continue to
be the supreme law making power or
whether it shall abdicate its authority
surrender its prerogatives and yield
submission to soviet Of labor lead
ers. On that issue there can be no
compromise. II this government as
ordained by the fathers, the finest ex-
ample of representative government
the world has ever known, cannot be
master of its own house, then it is a
thing too weak to be worthy of fur
ther sacrifice or reverence.
The Herald mistakes utterly the
sentiment of the people of America II
they are not willing to suffer all the
loss, the Inconvenience and the depri-
lrations that would follow general
railroad strike, rather than surrender
their nation into the hands OF small
segment of the population which cares
but little for the public welfare, selfish
ly intent upon the advancement of its
own interests.
The real genuine Americans, those
who believe in the supremacy Of gov
eminent, who cling with unfalterine
faith to the ideals upon which this re
public was founded, should make
known their sentiments to the repre-
sentatives in congress. There are
weak men in the halls of congress who
care more for the votes Of union labol
than they do for the constitution O
the republic There should be such
demonstration OF loyalty to our insti
tptions that no representative will
dare surrender to this self constituted
soviet.

THE REPUBLICANS.

Encouraged by repeated victories IN
the nation and by the dissatisfaction
caused in Tennessee through the
passage of the tax equal. law,
the republicans of Tennessee are
planning the most vigorous campaign
that they have made in the volunteer
state in many years. They will make
greater effort this year probably
than has been made since 1896, when
the late Bob Taylor was elected by
only 1000 majority in the largest poll
in the history of the state. It is true
that within recent years republican
has been twice, elected governor. But
he was elected through combination
with democrats and in neither cam
paign received his full party vote.
This time the republicans are plan
ning a straight out partisan fight to
finish.
No observing persCv will deny that
there is abundant reason why the re-
publicans should be encouraged to be-
leve that they are going to triumph
in the next national election. There
is hardly an encouraging sign upon
the political horizon for the demo
Gratis. But it takes great deal OF
faith to hazard prediction of sue
cess for that party in the state. No
one will question the statement that
there is some dissatisfaction among
democrats. There always is. Those
who have not had hand in the distr!'
button of the official patronage are
not in an altogether pleasant frame
OF mind. The huge machine built W
to re-assess the property of the state
the rewarding of too many Legislators
with profitable offices, the charge
often made of political trafficing have
/ contributed to the discomfort among
democrats. At the same time Tennes
see is a safely democratic state and
it will take more than these things tC
defeat the party nominee for gov
i ernoi.

but they do not represent the farming
masses of the nation. Their are prob
ably not dozen bona fide farmers
in Maury county, it is doubtful if there
are thousand in Tennessee who
are in favor OF government ownership
or control of the transportation sys-
TENS of the nation. AS a matter OF
fact the effort to bring about union
of organized labor and the farmers is
the widest sort of visionary scheme.
The farmers could never affiliate with
any organization that countenances
the strike. A strike on the farms OF
this country in the harvest or sowing
season would mean starvation for the
nation and absolute paralysis Of all
of it's industries and enterprises. 1t
would be unthinkable. But that Is not
the only reason why little sympathy
can ever exist between the farmers
and the labor unions. The farmer is
an individualist. He believes that
men should receive the rewards of
their efforts and toll. He is in no
sense communist, while the tend
eucy of labor unionism is distinctly
toward socialism and communism.
There is nothing in the argument
that government control and opera
ton of the railroads has not had sair

DAM IS WASHED AWAY IN FLOOD
Was Constructed by John Amis In the
EARLY Thirties and in Operation for
More Than Eighty Years-Owned
by Geo. w. Pullen.

One of the ancient landmarks OF
Maury county ceased to exist when
the old Pullen or Amis mill on Foun-
tain Creek. two miles west of Culleo-
ka was torn away. The elements
started the work of destruction and
when the whole building was endan-
gered Mr. Pullen, who owns the prop
erty, completed the job by tearing
down the structure that had stood the
storms and suns and blasts of many
decades.
This old fashioned water mill with
burr stones was erected in the early
thirt.es by John Amis, who came to-
this county from North Carolina in
1880 and located at the place now own

that still shelters the Digger family

BOY GOES TO JAIL
TO EARN LIVING
(By United Press.)

MANDAN. n. D., Dec. 5f.-The
North Dakota Training School here is
perhaps the only reformatory in the
country with a voluntary inmate-a
sixteen year old boy committed by his
own request.
A chance to earn an honest living
to specialize in trade-was what
this orphaned boy of Cass county
wanted. His only opportunity seemed
to be the industrial school or the state
reformatory and he sought admittance
through the juvenile commissioner.
His plea was granted and he was en-
rolled, the term to expire at any time
he wishes.

ROAD MAINTENANCE.

Traffic is so heavy and so rapid
over the highways of the county that
they can no longer be maintained
with the old system of working
them" in the fall and leaving them
to the fate OF the elements during
eleven months of the year. The roads
of this county, especially the main
highways, are not going to be proper
" maintained until there is continu-
GUS work done on them. If the rail-
roads of the country We're left with
out repairs until certain limited per-
iods of the year even the inefficient
service that, the people have had un'
der government operation would have
to be suspended.
The highway commission should
at the very earliest possible date
award contracts for continuous re-
pairs on the main highways OF the
county. Men should be employed to
work these roads whenever and wher
ever needed. Not infrequently a fe"
dollars expended when break in
the road first appears will save
big repair bill if the job is neglected
through a. period of bad weather
Nothing is more important than goot

ton are not sufficient to make the
roads passable at all times for rapit

DAN CUPID HAS
SPLENDID MONTH
MORE THAN EIGHTY COUPLES
HAVE "GONE TO ALTAR" DUR
ING DECEMBER.

Daniel j. Cupid, we'll known archer,
has shattered another record During
the past twenty.nine days the darts
from the bow of the little god of love
have pierced the hearts of no less
than 100 of Maury county's young
men and women, and eighty happy
couples have been united in sacred
wedlock in this county. During De-
cember, 1919, Cupid was successful in
only seventy-three instances in bring
ing couples to the altar. During this
month he has surpassed his previous
mark By seven. and still has three
more days to go. 1t appears that Mr..
Cupid profits by she experiences of the
past, and that his eye grows brighter
and more certain with agsM-his aim
improves each year.
