Republican is treason in Woodrow
Wilson. They put us into world pol
titles and now they object to Dem
oeratic President doing the best he
can with the situation. Some day we
shall free the Fillipinos. We have
taught them the art of self govern
ment and how we love it and value
it. Honor will demand that we pre-
vent any power on earth wrestling
the right of self government from

In Memory of A. L. Brevard.

A. L. Brevard, the subject of this
sketch, was born in Wilson County,
Tennessee, ON Feb. 10, 1912, came to
Obion County in 1850 and died at
his home, near Uninon City, Tennes-
see, on the 18th of June, 1920.
With the exception of four years
of service in the Army of the Confed-
eracy his life was spent on the farm
where he died.
His earlier ancestors were French
Huguenots and, as such, espoused the
cause of Protestantism under the
leadership of Henry of Navarro.
Later, and after the massacre of St.
Bartholomew, they fed from France
and found refuge in Norm Carolina
his later ancestors coming to Ten
nessee. One of his ancestors was a
signer of the first declaration of in
dependence of the American colonies
known as the Mecklinburg Dec
laration, and all of them were dis
tinguished patriots in our earlier
struggles for liberty.
The subject of this sketch was ed
ucated in the community in which
he lived and died. In the very be-
ginning of the Civil War, ana while
still boy in years, he enlisted in the
5th Tennessee (Confederate) In
fantry and served with constancy
worthy of his distinguished fore
bears until the final surrender of
Gen. Jos. E. Johnston in North Caro-
lima.
In1873 he was most happily mar
ried to Miss Sally Malone, who still
survives him. 1t would be hard to
depict in it's true colors the life of
A. L. Brevard. Gallant and faithful
in war. he was equally so in peace.
Gentle, modest and unassuming in
his every walk of life, conscientious
in his dealings with all men, he was
truly a model of human perfection.
Obion County never held a truer
man-never held man with high
er sense of honor-never held a truer
patriot-never one freer from guile,
and never one who more beautifully
exemplified in his every walk of life
those religious tenets which fit and
prepare the soul for eternity.
The writer of this sketch has been
told by one who knew him for sixty
long years, that never in all these
years did he find in "Al Brevard" a
fault or a blemish. Who can say
more? Who could have known him
and said less?
In the eventide of most beautiful
life he passed away as quietly as he
had lived into the Great Beyond
verify like one who wraps the
drapery of his couch about him and
lies down to pleasant dreams"

Rocks Hit Producer.

1t is pure buncombe when men at
tempt to make the American people
believe that they can have withou
paying. 1t is suicidal 10 beat dowI
! prices arbitrarily to the point where
profit is not sufficient to satisfy re
quirements. High wages and low
prices are not mates. They do no
| travel on the same road.
You cannot sell the farm products
of America below cost of production
and have farm products long. YOU
cannot arbitrarily beat down prices
without beating down prosperity.
The Government has just issued g
report from special committee ap
pointed to consider the serious status
of the electric railways of the coun'
try. The commission was appointed
because the Government knew that
the electric railways could not con-
tinue to operate unless allowed tC
charge enough to pay cost of service
But it is not recorded that the Gov
eminent has appointed any commits
sion to recommend measures of relief
for the cattle industry, or me wool
industry, or the cotton industry,
when they, as result of Govern
ment pressure, find that their service
does not command cost of produc-
ton. There has been no wild effort
by the Government to lower cost of
transportation, or cost of public
utility service, or cost of insurance
and very wisely-but the same Gov
eminent shows signs of real energy
in devising means and methods of
beating down the price of farm prod
ucts to ruinous limits.
1t is then called lowering the cost
of living, and it is a program which,
strangely enough, is never very
strenuously carried out until the
harvest period of the year. And while
the farmer is being cajoled with po-
litical promises on the one hand,
the politicians are moving heaven
and earth to pauperize him, on the
other hand. They tell him that COM
modities are being '1iquidated." He
would understand it better if they
told him that he was to be "pusted."
1t is almost time for a sensible re-
consideration of this whole move
lied as a program for reducing the
cost of living. 1t is about time fer
farmers to ask if the profiteers can
not be cornered without the farmers
first being driven to the wall. 1t is
time to ask if reducing the cost III
living is not first and foremost a
scheme to make the farmer sell his
property for less than it is worth.
instead of being praised some of tho
worthless in Washington VINO are pin
ling medals on themselves for Their
in depressing prices and the
national spirit should be called be-
fore a high court of justice to an
swer charges of treasonable conspir-
acy against the property and well be-
ing of some millions of their fellow
citizens whom they are supposed to
represent Manufacturer Record.
