idea Of killing men is disgusting
to our better selves.
The story of soldiers life is
one people like to read, but when
it comes to the moral hero, one
with the grit and courage to say
no or yes, they don't applaud
him, yet he or she does more for
the uplift of the human family
than your physical hero does
Heroes are really moral towards.
He is so afraid of being called a
coward that he is readyto resent
physically the least insult.
What the world needs most to-
day is moral heroes. Brave he
roic men and women that are
not afraid to do the right and
stand for right in the face of op-
position. We've an element
among us that are so full of poi
son against the law of the land
that they actually hate and de-
spise everyone who favors the
enforcement of the law. The
liquor element hopes to win out
by voting for and electing men
who favor them and their ne
farious conduct.
They are continually nagging
at the prohibition people. Sum-
merfeld is infested with lot of
notorious naggers that would al
most give their soul salvation to
drive Jerd Ayler out of the com
munity | am fearful they will
keep on with their nagging tac-
tics until something serious hap
pens. They have been told to let
the boy alone, and there is no
danger. That element was new
er known to do the right thing.
The majority of the people are
getting mighty sore over boot
Logging methods. This mountain
has as good and honorable peo-
pie as lives, but. unfortunately
there are enough of the whiskey
element to keep up strife and
confusion, and make us all APP
pear in a bad light before our
neighbors. True there is not
much drinking among the work
ing men and the companies do
not sanction the liquor gang at
all.
The best elements are in favor
of the law. These are the he
roes of the mountain and the
nagging element can't bulge
them.
Again, let US all strive for the
best things possible and lift our

THE HOME PAPER

It's like smiling friendly face,
It's like voice you long have known,
You see it in some distant place
And rush to claim it for your own.
Thepaper from your old home town
Has bridged the long and weary miles
And with it you can settle down
Among familiar tears and smiles.
1t speaks for every friend you know,
Ittells of scenes you yearn to see;
1t brings back joys of long ago
And tells of joy that is to be.
And as you run its columns DER
Your yesterdays come trooping back;
You fancy you're at home once more,
And golden seem the letters black.
Its speech is one you understand.
1t tells of griefs that you can share,
1t brings you, in that foreign land,
Glad messages to Danish care.
There, among scenes and faces strange,
The old home paper seems to be
The faithful friend that doesn't change,
A friend that you are glad to see.

Nor just what joys beyond life's tide
Await for me, when death shall strike
And shall reach the other side.
But this know when have gone
Todwell in realms divinely fair.

The old-home paper over there.

Editor News:
"All is quiet on the Potomac
tonight. ="
Wonder how many know the
origin of the above. Well, child
ren, when the Yankees and reb
els were facing each other, the
Potomac river divided these hos
tile forces. The sentinels or
pickets would report all quiet.
You see, young folks each army
had scouts all along The line to
report any hostile movement that
might occur, and often it was
passed down the line, "All is
quiet along the Potomac tonight.
Scouts were considered the
eyes of the army, and they gener-
ally were men who could be
trusted in any and all emergen-
cies.
Sam Davis was scout, but
rated as spy because he refused
to betray the one who secured
for him the information concern
ing the federal forces at Nash

given up their lives rather than
betray a trust reposed in them.

CHATTANOOGA
CHURCH PICNIC
Special Train Brings Many
Visitors Thursday.
DAY PERFECT IN INCIDENTS

The Whiteside Street M. E.
Church, South, of which w, K.
Triplett, formerly of this county
is pastor, picnicked here Thurs
day. A special train of five
coaches, fairly we'll filled, brought
the excusionists here at the
reasonable rate of $1.25 for the
round trip. The train left Chat
tanooga at $50 a. m. and arrived
: here at 1890.
Immediately on arrival the ex-
cursionists went to the cool pre-
cincts of the Blowing Spring. the
great attraction of the extremely
hot day, the sun blazing with
fierce heat. At noon dinner was
spread from the baskets brought,
beneath the trees.
At 2 p. m. a ball game was
played between the locals and the
crack South Chattanooga team,
the home team being defeated Ia
to IL. The game was closely con-
tested the Chattanooga boys
finally breaking tie and getting
two ahead in eighth. Rain in
middle of game. a slight shower
made the ball slippery and caused
the run column to be accelerated
more then it should have been. 1t
was the first game of the season
here and greatly enjoyed by the
people.
Report goes that the county
authorities collected a license
/ from the manager of the stand
in connection with the excursion
as we'll as extra money for auto
mobile expense in connection
Herewith, and it has caused
comment. Anyway it made the
management disgusted with
Marion county hospitality, and he
characterised it as fee grab
bing right -
Also wildcat liquor probably
! from our local still in the noun
tains caused incivility to a lady
with the result that the manager
of the excursion hastened in
search of the county sheriff.
What the result was the News is
Duninstructed but at any rate
there is lots of talk over the
episode,
A report eminating from some
excursionists just before the train
pulled out for Chattanooga that
a man lay dead in the woods
near town. This also raised
considerable excitement, which
was soon allayed when it was
learned it was only a citizen of
lhe county who is endeavoring to
kill himself on liquor made out of
|lye, sugar and lemon extract.
Police arrest such cases in
Chattanooga, and the excursion
did not know what to make of it,
| but that is nothing for Marion
county with booze in every di-
rection.
The train pulled out for Chat
tanooga at 5:15 p. M, with the
axcursionists, all apparently nice
people, church members presum-
ably, and this was the end of a
perfect day in Sequatchie, Lo-
cal stores did a nice business.
and for the sake of the prosperi-
ty of the town our citizens gen.
|erall would be glad to have many
|other excursions here during the
season, but the management of
| this particular excursion seems
to have got poor opinion of the
place, which is regretted by all
sensible citizens.

HISTORIC DUEL GROUNDS.
Some Further Facts Relative to En-
counters in Maryland.
70 the Editor of The Star

To the Editor of The Star:
1t is, no doubt, a mere inadvertence
on the part of the writer or the
printer, but the date of the Clay
Randolph duel described in your in
teresting article CT Sunday was in
1926. and not 1920. as stated. Nobody
of any information ever believed there
was anything in the absurd cry of
Corrupt bargain and SALE" as applied
to John Quincy Adams and Henry
Clay not even the men who used the
cry to help boost Jackson into the
u siuencv--tnt tandnlpn had the
most reckless and bitter tongue ever
tolerated in public life. and Clay was
high-spirited and intolerant of any
thing which ,impugned his honor.
1t is a most curious fact that Presi-
dent John Quincy Adams makes no
mention of this duel in that curious
diary of his, in which he mentions
almost everything which occurred
during his four years in the White
House. Would it not make sensa-
ton in this day if the Secretary of
State for fancied cause should chal-
1enge a prominent senator to mortal
combat on the field of honor and they
should go across into Virginia and

mournful loser. and thus he
sighed and walled, when in a
leaking cruiser up Salt Creeks

all diseases, all bruises and all
sores, according to the wheezes
of bards and other bores. Time
soothes the badly beaten and
makes him soon forget the dish
OF crow he's eaten-oh, times

losers grinning, and he forgets
to groan next year he's sure of
winning, the gods will guard
their own. And so we'll see him
gliding on errands punk and

ing against the day OF rain.

In the interesting article in your
issue OF Sunday, November 2S, 1920,
on the Bladensburg dueling ground, il
is stated. as follows:
There is a dispute among the
chroniclers as to the exact field of
honor on which the Graves-C -Cilley
duel was fought. Some contend that
lit was on the Marlborough road. more
than four miles from Bladensburg in
direct line"
There is no room for dispute in the
matter The duel was fought on the
Marlborough road. My authority for
this is William Pinkney, late Bishop
of Maryland, who told me personally
) that he was at the scene of the duel
the morning after it's occurrence,
while the turf was still moist with
Cilley's blood. HENRY E. DAVIS.

Immortality in this sense of the word
is of course a quality which be-

that there is no human Immortality
in the sense that there is Divine
Immortality, in the sense that man is
