Broom, RuciuS Whitaker and
George Mills, of Putnam county,
who were convicted of involunt-
ary manslaughter by the Put
man county court and confirmed
by the Supreme Court on Febru-
uary z, 1920, for the death of
Roland Vittatoe of the 7th dis
trict of Jackson county, where
pardoned last week by Gov.
Roberts, after six months of SER
vitude in the state penitentiary.
The killing of Roland Vittatoe
was deplorable tragedy and
was deeply regretted by all. 1t
occurred one night in the spring
1919 while Vittatoe and several
other Jackson county boys were
attending a singing at the Nc
Broom school house just over the
line in Putnam county. After
the singing Vittatoe accompanied
a young lady home, while his
comrades waited for him near
the school house. AS they pro-
ceeding homeward the Putnam
county boys rocked them and a
number of pistol shots were fired,
one which truck Vittotoe result
ing in his death a few hours lat.
er.
Ten boys were arrested in con-
nection with the case. One died
before the hearing before the |
Supreme court. two others were |
acquitted, one is yet to be tried, |
while the six just pardoned were |
convicted and served a portion |
Of their time.
The state pardon board receiv-
ed recommendations for pardon
from the trial Judge, attorney
general and several hundred cit
zens of Putnam and Jackson
,ounies. The boards report said
n part:
Taking everything into con-
'ideration, we feel that it was
me of those unfortunate affairs
in the death of a fine
Young man. but which was un-
'artunate on the part of the de-
'endants. 1t was not an inten-
.ional homicide, but purely an
accident. F"
All of the boys are under q
vears old except one. They are

What Would Happen If Christ
ianity Was Taken Away.

If it were possible to take
Christianity out of the world,
the result would be a startling
demonstration of the good Chris.
tianity has done and is doing.
The churches would all have
to come down, Sunday schools
be abolished, religious printing
presses stopped. denominational
colleges razed to the earth, hos
pitals. asylums. orphanages,
homes for the old. the helpless,
and the like abandoned. This
would only be a start at demoli-
tion. The removal of Christian
ity's influence would necessitate
a raid on Libraries, art galleries,
music emporiums, etc., in the
task of eliminations. Statuary,
pictures, buildings, monuments,
and the like, which owe their
inception to Christian ideas,
would have to go.
The iconoclast would be COM
PEELED to do far more than this,
He would have to eradicate from
human hopes, ideals, memory
all that pertains to the kingdom
of God. Even the silent cities
of the dead would be shockingly
defaced, since angels and gates
ajar and crowns and doves of
hope and all references to life
eternal would have to be chisled
out. The human purpose to
worship and serve God would
have to be pulled out of the
stitches of the soul.
What a world of sadness would
be left! What a world of blast
ed inspirations would go stagger-
ing on toward the tomb! Poll
tics would rot, society would
putrify, literature would mold
with skepticism. commerce
would would stagnate without
conscience, and humanity would
lapse into jungle savagery.
Some persons might call these
results in question, but this
would only be evidence of the
lplift of Christianity. since our
civilization is saturated with the |
benefits of moral standards
which have come to US indirectly |
and unconsciously. Where have
DUR moral ideas come from save
the kingdom of God?
Go to lands without the gospel
and see what their ideals are.
To take that away would leave
is stripped indeed. Midland

SMALL INCREASE in POPU-

essee, the population of whic
was announced today by tn
census bureau, as 2, 337, 459, ha
the smallest numerical increas
in the last ten years of any de
cade since 1870 while its rate o
growth was the smallest in it
history. It's numerical increas'
was 1880 and it's rate O.
growth 10 per cent in ten years
Tennessee ranked as I7th mos
populous state ten years ago
OF the six states of which the
1920 population has been annou
need Tennessee shows next tC
the smallest rate of growth.
New Hampshire has shown the
smallest, 2.9 per cent. Oregon
has shown the highest rate 16.4
per cent; Rhode Island next with
l1.4; Georgia third with 1919 and
Indiana fourth with 8.5.
Tennessee had a population of
2,184. 789 in 1910, ranking it as
18th most populous state in the
Union. 1t showed an increase
cf 164, I73. or 81 per cent for the
ten years ending with 1910.
Tennessee's largest numerical
growth prior to the present GEN.
sus was 283, 839, in the decade
1870-8O. It's largest relative
growth was in the decade 1890
1900 when the increase was 1875. 9
per cent, Tennessee's popula-
ton in 1870 when the first Fed
eral census was taken was 30, 69l
ranking it as 18th among the
states and territories.
In area Tennessee ranked as 34th
state in 1910 with a land are of
4l,687 square mile, which rank
ed it 18th among the states in
that respect.
The most rapid growth of the
population of Tennessee was
made during the early decades.
The population of the state in
1900 was nearly three times as
large as 1t was in 1890, in 1910
it was nearly two and one-half
times as large as in 1900, while
in the next two decades, $1,000
the population increased more
than two and one-half times.
From 1880 to 1910 the state grew
less rapidly, the rate varying
considerably from decade to de-
cade. The highest rate of in
crease in that period 22.6 per
cent, was for the decade I870-8OI
and the lowest rate, 81 per cent
was for the decade l900-10.
Comparison of the rates, of
increase for the state with those
for the United Staaes as whole
shows that from 1890 to 1880
the increase during each decade
was much more rapid for the
state than for the country. Du-
ring that 40-year period the pop
ulation of the state increased a
little more than 19 times, while
that for the United States in
creased less than three and one
third times. From 1880 to 1910
the growth during each decade
was less rapid for the state than
for the United States. the popu.
lation of the state increasing on
ly three and one-ffth times while
that of the country increased a
little more than seven times.
The Tennessee region was or
ganized in 1870 as the Territory
South of the river Ohio and in
1896 admitted to the Union as
the state of Tennessee.

MACSWINEY SHOWS

Friends Believe He May Live for Some
Time-Governmen Rather
Reticent

LONDON, Oct. 6.-Terence MaeSwiney,
passed rather a bad night at Brixton
prison, according to bulletin issued by
Irish Self-Determination league today.
The bulletin quoted physician as saying
that MacSWlneys pulse rose a little,
which might be due to little excitement
and that generally speaking his condition
was unchanged today. This was the 55th
day OF his hunger strike
AUTHENTIC information regarding Mayor
MacSwlneys fast continues to be con-
lined to cryptic statements issued by the
home office and the somewhat more elab-
crate bulletins from the London head
quarters of the Irish Self-Determinatlon
League.
The statements from. both Of these
sources have been for some time of a
words weakened, exhausted" and
'prostrate,' but inquiries this afternoon
in both quarters brought word that
neither government officials nor the Mac
Swiney family are seriously concerned
over the immediate danger of the pris-
oner's death
On the contrary, officials of the league
said they thought that although the
mayor was much exhausted, careful
nursing would restore him to normal
health should his release in some unfore-
seen manner be effected within a few
days.
The same informants expressed the
opinion that Mayor MacSwiney would
be able to withstand the effects of his
abatinence from food for quite some
time"
The home office, which from the begin
ming of the mayors transfer to Brixton
prison has manifested marked reluctance
to discuss the case, withheld comment on
these possibilities. so far as we know
he is receiving no food remains the
only government reply to queries and the
question as to whether the government
has taken measures to insure its know
ing should attempts be made to admin
lister mourishment, meets with the official
rejoinder: Government agents are al
ways at prisoners bedside"
The public Is waiting with interest the
denoument in the case. Opinions regard
ing the sincerity of the two factions and
the ultimate outcome. however, are not
entirely one sided MANY observers ac
