HAVE CHANGED OUR TEXT.

We are likeHon. Jesse ittleton's ne
gro preacher in the fact that we have
changed our mind as to the text from
which we intend to preach next. Not
long ago we tried to tell our readers
how despicable it is to be miser, and
promised that in the near future we
would depict the other extreme of
abominable characteristic spend
thrift but hiatt dissertation will keep
for future delivery and our sermon
this week will be the gossiper-nlale
or female. At the outset, we must
confess our inability to accurately
describe the meanness, the unscrupu-
lousness of that assassin of character,
the gossip. Goethe, the poet, says in
Faust that the neighborhood gossip is
the only known creature that will do
what the Devil himself will not do
destroy the character and reputation
of an innocent woman, which is the
particular sin in which the news ven
dor fairly revels. All the snakes, all
the spiders, all the poisonous insects
and animals in the world combined
are not to be dreaded as much as is
the person whose tongue is stepped in
venom and passes (confidenttially)
from one to another of the kind, news
which has for its object and effect the
tearing down Of the good name of an
innocent and virtuous woman. If the
starter of foul calumnies which some
times float about and can not be To-
Gated. could be discovered, his or her
tongue ought to be cut out-for when
one sinks so low as to stoop to such
practice. their reclamation is consid-
cred as impossible as the reformation
of an habitual user of abSinthe. So,
be careful when one comes to you
with tale of scandal-lest in passing
il along you become of the chain of
character destroyers, possibly with
out bad intent. Think these things
over and guard your tongue, the most
dangerou member Of the human body.

With cotton low in price, farmers
have trouble both behind and ahead
of them. With cotton selling at less
than the cost of growing it, how are
land buyers going to meet their
notes? With cotton at 25c in the lint
and one-third in the seed, how are
they going to pay the county fertili-
er bill of perhape $3.50, 000-and on
top of that buy domestics, ginghams,
sheetings and other manufactured
cotton products at the prices dealers
will now be compelled to ask for
them to prevent ruin to the merchan-
dising business? In and through it
all the manufacturers will take care
of themselves because they are or
ganized but the farmers being unor-
ganized will have to suffer the loss
and in many instances go to the wall.
Under opening cotton conditions this
fall, touch of FREE TRADE and
the chance to buy foreign goods made

Richard Pearson Hobson, of Span
ish-American ar fame-and after that
the most famous of American kissers
says that there will be no lasting
peace until the world is dry. "The
general use of alcoholic liquors as in
Japan" he explained, throws the ma
tional thought and motives downward
toward the base of the brain where
self-interest dominates and the ami
NAL fighting faculties hold sway
Americas psychology, on the other
hand, is rapidly rising to the top Of
the brain, the seat Of the altruistiC
faculties. If the base of the brain
takes to war and the top leans toward
altruism, we take it that it must be
the centre which goes dollar chasing,

If there was ever a time that good
citizens should stand with the sheriff
of the county, Mr.. W. R. Wright, and
help him in the performance of his
duty, right now is the time. The coun-
try seems to be infested with unlaw-
full whisky distillers and men who
sympathize with them in their hellish
business, hence NOW is THE TIME
for all men to show whether they are
for law and order or for anarchy and
disorder. This paper stands with the
law and hopes to see every accused
whisky-maker literally swept from
the county and the state.

Since the fall of 1919 the city of
Knoxville has been terrorized at in
tervals by some one or more maui
RAIDERS, who at the dead hours of the
night have entered homes and killed,
wounded and assaulted women until
the police say the number has reach
ed six killed, and as many more
wounded and twenty or more homes
entered in all. In each case the man
who does this foul work is said to
carry a gun and flashlight and has in
nearly all cases awakened his victims
by feeling over their bodies-that be-
ing their first knowledge of his entry
into the house. The man has been
variously described, but generally as
low, heavy-set dark white man or
mulatto negro. The last victim was
Miss Alice Burnett, most estimable
young lady, who was shot and fatally
wounded early Tuesday morning Of
last week-and two other houses were
entered the same night and for sever
al nights after that Knoxville was
said to be a veritable armed camp,
many citizens sleeping on their
arms" to be ready for the maurauder
should he happen to appear with his
gun and flashlight.
