New England wanted General Wood
for next president, but it must be re-
membered that, able as he is, his life
has not been devoted to craftsmanship,
but to military affairs. AS President
he might have lacked in ability to
"mix," to be in affiliation with his
party leaders and in sympathetic touch
with the people. Senator Harding will
come nearer and nearer to the people
as the campaign progresses, and the
whole country will regard him as Ohio

personal character, his ability and for
the American spirit, with which, as
was Roosevelt, he is thoroughly i'm

for such a statement.
list Member for Chrlstiansted Country
District (Stakemdnn) remarked: Mr..
Chairman. According to Section 65 OF
the Colonial Law, every year a printed
statement Of the revenues Of this island
should be given TO the members of this
Council.
I would also like to ask Government
whether the new laws will be printed?
| have not seen any amount under
this budget for printing it. | do not
know Of any country where new laws are
introduced and not printed. 70 have It
in a place where it could be read, is not
sufficient. 1t is necessary to have the
new laws printed and indeXed,
Another question the Executive cannot
fix the time when d law is 70 come IN
force; this | mention because It might
cause a great deal of Inconvenience TO
the public; for instance, il a case
up in the lower court one of the interest
ed parties may not be satisfied with the
decision rendered in that court and may
appeal the case, and if the decision OF
the lower court is reversed, the question
may come up which of the laws were in
force when the decision was rendered.
It must be stated IN the law itself or by
legislation when a Law is to c. me IN force.
| mention this so as to avoid any ques-
ton that may come up in the future.
The Chairman replying to 1st Member
for Frederiksted Country District tAn-
dersenj said, in regard to statement OF
the revenues of the island, ii was the
custom under the Danish Administration
to give a statement Of three years re-
venues, and that when divided BY three
gave an approximation of the islands

Dresden enterprise and Sharon tribune. (Dresden, Tenn.) 1907-1997, 1920-04-09
RAILROADCOM-
PANY INDICTED

Evidently, the present grand jury
has been reading the Enterprise edi-
torials pointing out the glazing in
conveniences forced upon long
suffering public at the Dresden de-
pot of the N. c. & St. l.. railroad,
for on last Tuesday the grand jury
returned true bill against the rail-
road company for its refusal to pro-
vide toilets at the Dresden depot.
1t is quite likely that at the pres
ent term similar bills will be found
against the |. c. railroad for negli-
gence along this line at Sharon and
Greenfield.
1t is understood that a building
crew of the N. C. & St. l.. railroad is
now engaged at Hickman, with or
GERS to come to Dresden just as soon
as their work is finished at Hick-
man, and that toilets and other i'm
provements will be provided here.
To make the Dresden depot what a
town the size of Dresden really needs
will requise the services of a very
large crew for many weeks.

also against free government itself.
In fact, the school houses are the
real temples of democracy and we
do not believe that thoughtful and
patriotic citizenship will permit them
to be closed for lack Of funds to
paw competent teachers. On the
contrary, we are persuaded that all
good citizens will join in an actual
and willing cooperation with
school officials and give them both
the financial and moral support
necessary to enable the public schools
to properly function in their work
of making future citizens. A school
cannot thus function without a good
teacher and such a tie cher can not
be secured for a song, which she
herself is expected to sing. We are
convinced that the taxpayers Oh
Upton county are more than willing
to furnish the revenue needed to run
our schools in keeping with the pres
ent and future needs of the county,
and that our county court-One of
the most progressive in the state
and at all times genuine friend of
our public schools-will take such
steps as may be necessary to provide
a material increase in our school
fund and thereby insure reasonable
length term taught by qualified
teachers at fair salaries in all the
schools of the county. Nothing short
of this will meet the demands of the
hour.-Covington Leader.

AVOID AUTO ACCIDENTS.

We ought not to wait for some
tragic accident to wake us up to the
fact that there is entirely too much
fast, reckless automobile driving be-
ing done all over the country-both
in the towns and on the public high
ways.
But, rather, let all automobile
drivers keep in mind the safety and
the rights of pedestrians. Too huch
care cannot be observed turning
blind corners, crossing streets and
especially crossing railroad tracks.
It has been observed just lately
that there many small boys and girls
driving cars who do not exercise
the proper degree Of judgment, and
if some remedy is not applied there
will be numerous serious accidents
before the driving season closes.
Fact is, children should not be
trusted out alone with automobiles.
The public safety demands that only
those of mature minds set at the
steering wheel of an automobile
An automobile is a dangerous thing.
In twinkling it may snuff out the
lives of a number of people. Even
guided and driven by an older per-
son it lacks a good deal being as safe
as an OK cart.
Let every automobile driver make
up his or her mind now, at the open
ing of the new driving season, that
greater caution is to be observed
tnan in the past. If this is done
there will be fewer accidents and,
consequently, fewer law suits.

charming little bOlero and Elton jack.
cts are to have such vogue. Frocks
with bOlero jackets are also shown, so

A little tailored frock for a young
girl recently seen is quite worth de-
scribing. 1t had a plated skirt and
a little bolero Jacket with underblouse
Of vivid red. The frOck proper was Of
navy, and the jacket was finished at
the edges with round scallops piped
with red. A tiny navy frill edged
with red finished the neck CT the
blouse. The sleeves we're elbow length
so far as the blouse was concerned,
scallOped, of course, and with wrist

TERRIBLY SWOLLEN
Suffering Described As Torture
Relieved by Black Draught.

Rossville, GAINS. Kate Lee Able, Of
Ibis place, writes: my husband is an
engineer, and once while lifting, he in
iured himself with piece of heavy MA
chincry, across the abdomen. He was
so sore he could not bear to press on
himself at all, on chest or abdomen, He
weighed 1865 lbs, and fell off until he
weighed ITO lbs, in two weeks.
He became conStipated and it looked
like he would die. We had three different
doctors, yet with ali their medicine, his
bowels failed to act. He would turn up
a ten-cent bottle OF castor oil, and drink
it two or three days in succession. He
did this yet without result. We became
desperate, he suffered so. He was swol-
len terribly. He told me his suffering
could only be described as torture.
| sent and bought Thedtord'S Black
Draught. made him take a big dose,
and when it began 10 acthe tainted, ne
was in such misery, but he got relief and
began to mend at once. He got well,
and we both feel he owes his life to
ThedEord's -Draught."

to keep fit, ready for the days work.

periods, thus tying up great sums OF
money for months. In addition, he
must carry extra insurance on this
raper as a protection against loss by
fire.
All this costs money that former
ly the publisher did not have to in
vest. Right now the Enterprise is
buying paper for months and months
ahead, in order to be able to contin-
ne publication. Every other paper
is forced to do the same thing.
Changed conditions have forced
the publisher to modify his rules and
conform to the new order of things.
Thus, the Enterprise has been
forced to drop all names from the
list at the expiration of the paid
up time. All good newspapers are
doing this. Really, it is the only fair
way, for then if a subscriber wants
the paper he can very easily renew,
and does not have to pay for paper
sent on and on to him, when, in fact,
he may not care for it.
We ask our readers to attend
promptly to the matter of renewing.
The figures on the label opposite
your name show just when your time
expires.
Dresden enterprise and Sharon tribune. (Dresden, Tenn.) 1907-1997, 1920-04-09
ABOUT SUBSCRIPTIONS.

The time has arrived in the career
of newspapers when a paper that Is
worth the money cannot be sent to
subscribers on speculation. The pub
Usher must know in advance that he
is going to receive pay for the paper,
and no good paper can afford to con-
tinue a subscribers paper unless the
same is paid for in advance.
It is not a matter of questioning
the subscribers integrity-it is
purely matter of what the publisher
is able to do. Prices of white paper
are steadily advancing and in order
to be able to continue publishing his
paper every publisher is forced to
lay in great stocks of blank paper,
buying at a heavy. advance and car
rying large stocks of paper for long
