II was solemn, stiff, unoending

was being entertained. There were
six mahogany chairs and table
that had come to your mother from
Uncle Curtis The chains were fitted
your legs were short it was almost
impossible TO remain seated on the
CLASSY surface. II your limbs reached
the ground you wern't much more
comfortable, for strands Of the horse
hair were always invading your
clothes and assailing you in a cow
ardly fashion.
On the table was copygof Bax-

the fireplace. where no fire ever burn

EXAMINATION OF TEACHERS.

The advertised examination of
teachers was held last Friday and
Saturday, in the Circuit court room,
by the new County Superintendent,
Prof. ]. 0. Brown, assisted by Mrs.
Brown and John w. Ballard. There
were seventeen white teachers in at
tendance, which was a very satisfac-
tory number, considering that three
examinations granting certificates
good for two to five yaers, were held
last year; and it is fact that sew
eral of those holding certificates
a:e not teaching for the reason that
they can make more money in other
occupations. The result Of the exam
nation will not be known until the
papers have been passed on by the
State Superintendent. There are about
ninety white teachers in the county
or places for that many.
OF the fifteen colored teachers,
there were eleven present to stand
the examination under Prof. j. H. Ed
wards, colored.

The League of Nations =GOd's New Year
Gift to The World.
By JOHN TROTWOOD MOORE

our Cyruses and our Caesars!
Hol for hell and Roman holiday!
They crucified Him but His league
won, even as this league will win.
1t will live because it is of God and
God always lives.
Who lives today, Socrates or his
judges?
| Whom will the centuries decorate,
Lodge or Woodrow Wilson?
1t will win because it is for Human
ity and he who is on the side Of HUI
mainly has God always on his side.
Who has won to-day, Christ or Pom
thus Plate?
For God and One have always been
a greater majority than all the coun-
ellis of kings, all the closed chambers
of, statesmen, all the obstructionists
of senates, and all the intrigues of
autocracy.
Born in Eden, it has lived through
an hundred centuries.
Through sufferings, sacrifices and
death it has journeyed through Egypt,
Assyria, Jerusalem, the Greek Isles,
Rome and Europe under Tartar,
priest savage, Hun and the hell of the
Hohenzollerns.
On its sleeve are the service stripes
of the Red Sea, Thermopylae, the
hemlock draught, Calvary, Joan at
the stake, Tours, Magma Charta, July
Fourth, Valley Forge, the Bastile,
Gettysburg and the Hindenburg line.
1t is the signal flame that lit up
the hilltops above Runnymede, flared
over Bunker Hill and Kings Noun
tain, to become the Torch Of Liberty
enlightening the world.
1t has survived wars, massacres,
famines, fires, assassins, ISLANDERS,
lies, crucifictions, traitors, scorners,
maniacs, butchers, devils and Huns.
1t has kept step with the stars, fol-
lowed the sun, been the fist Of God,
the force of the universe, and the still
small voice in the conscience of men,
that through all ages and through all
time has been the voice of God.
1t is the atonement of Ignorance,
sin, hatred and death: the redemption
of Love to live, Peace to survive,
Truth to conquer and Right to Rule.
It is Gods Declaration of Indepen-
dence to the human race!
Dead7 1t is just born. Killed. It
is eternal.

THE SCHOOL LIBRARY.

The pupils Of the high-school are
very much pleased to find some new
books in the library, The girls Of the
Cytherean Society are responsible for
this, having contributed thirty dol
lars, recently to the library fund We
wonder why some of our good friends
who are interested in the school do
not donate to our library some good
books. Maybe set of books. We are
not begging for books but merely Of
fer this as suggestion. You may
have some good books that you never
have read and never will read or some
that you have already read. We think
you would be doing a splendid thing
to put these books where they can be
used every day in the year by boys
and girls who are eager for good
things to read. II you have no chill
dren to enjoy your books, wouldn't it
give you great satisfaction to know
that your books were influencing for
good the lives Of hundreds Of boys and
girls? We would appreciate good
fiction by the old authors of by mod
ern ones, histories, biographies, and
reference books Of all kinds--in fact
ank good book that will interest pu-
pills ranging from six to twenty years
Of age. II anybody decides to do a
big, generous thing by giving us some
books, write in the back Of them "Pre-
sented by -' and the boys
and girls who, for years to come will
read these books will always acco-
ciate your name with the influences
that helped to train and educate them
for life.

ENGLAND GETTING "SKEEREDi'


The constantly growing demand
of the cotton manufacturing industry
in the United States for raw cotton
is looked upon by English cotton
interests as threatening the perma-
nent stability of the British cotton
manufacturing industry, which oper-
ates one-third of the worlds total
cotton spindles, according to the re-
port of the Department of Agricul-
ture. The American consumption,
about 81 per cent of the American
crop in 1890, has increased to Sc per
cent of the crop. AS a result British
cotton men are concentrating their eff
forts for increased production in In
dia, the West Indies, Sudan and
South Africa, in order to attain in
dependence of American cotton.
The British cotton growing asso-
citation since its formation in 1902 has
devoted its attention to organizing
cotton industry and up to the present
has succeeded in stimulating pro-
duction to 5,500rO00 bales annually.
The association, it is reported, has
reached the limit Of it's financial re-
sources and British advices say 1t is
possible a department of the British
government may take over the work
or that association may be granted
government assistance. A commit
tee which has had the subject under
consideration will make a report to
the government in the near future on
the entire outlook. -

SOUTHERN METHODISTS BUY
MRS. l.. B. GRADY PROPERTY

There was contaminated last Sat
urday afternoon the purchase of the
Mrs. L. B. Grady property, on Hunt
ingdon street, near the North corner
of the Public Square and adjoining
the present church and parsonage
property Of the Southern Methodists
of Lexington.
The value of the property is $4,000
and out of that sum, Mrs. Grady in
the sale makes concession of 81, 900
to the church-a most generous act
on her part.
The present residence building on
the corner will be the home of the
presiding elder, home for the local
pastor will be built on the lot between
the district parsonage and the church
and the present home of the local
pastor, at the rear Of the church will
be sold. ii
In addition, we are told, that the
church structure will be enlarged and
that a "superanuate" home will be
built on the lot on Huntingdon street,
The whole movement is one much
to the credit of the local member
ship of the church.

Jewish Rabbi Stephen Wise.

Jewish Rabbi Stephen Wise, who
was in Paris during the peace nego-
tiations, has made it known in this
country that the enemies of President
Wilson back at home "did their darn
dest" during the progress of the peace
negotiations to discredit President
Wilson, by means of publications in
Paris without repute or standing. Ev-
erything that Wilson was for these
enemies opposed and whatever he OPP
posed they endorsed. This opposi-
ton to Wilson was continued in the
United States Senate. Another
source of opposition to the President
was the crowd that favored bolshe-
vism and the SOVIET government in
Russia. Every effort was made in
Europe to make the allied nations
representatives believe that President
Wilson did not have the backing Of the
American people in his stand for the
league Of nations and ether items in
the peace treaty as it was written and
adopted at Versailles.

Berry W. Spence, state news edi-

American, died in Nashville, from
pneumonia, last Sunday morning at
1880 o'clock. Mr.. Spence was but al
years old, had been connected with
the paper, Of which force he was one
Of the most valued members since
the foundation Of the Tennessean in

loss to the press in Tennessee that Mr.,
Spence should have been cut down by
the Grim Reaper when just in the
prime of his life and usefulness.

COL. ANDERSON MAY BE
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR.

Memphis, Tenn, Jan. Col Har-
ny B. Anderson, Memphis, is out for
the Republican nomination for Gov
ernor Of Tennessee. At meeting Of
a number Of his friends to-day, plans
for campaign were formulated. 1t
may be that opposition will be elimi-
mated by the party leaders in Ten
nessee in conference. If not, Colonel
Anderson will enter the primary next
August and contest for the nomina-
ton.
So far, Chancellor Will Ross, of
Jackson, has been the only promi-
nently mentioned candidate for the
Republican nomination. Chancellor
Ross has seven years to serve as chan
cellor in Democratic district, and it
is not thought that he will get in the
race. Beside many of the leaders
are anxious to put up a soldier can
didate, ana Col. Anderson fills the
bill.
Col. Anderson was one of the first
to volunteer at the outbreak of the
war. He served in France as Judge
Advocate of the New England Divis-
ion of National Guard troops, the
26th.
He has always taken an active in
terest in politics, and is a lawyer by
profession. 1t is understood that
Memphis Republicans will get behind
him solidly. Among those at the
meeting to-day were G. Tom Taylor,
formerly of the Ninth district; s. E.
Murray, formerly of the Eighth dis
trict; Harry King, Frank S. Elgin,
and others.

Representative Martin L. Davy, Of
the 14th Ohio District, has introduced
House Bill 1860, Defining sedition,
the promoting thereof, providing
punishment therefor, and for
other purpose" in other words, it rep
resents a movement on the part of the
government, if passed, to protect
this republic from the "Red' menace.
We believe that Congressman Sims
will heartily support this bill or some
other just as good, for there is no
time to be lost in combating the evil
dent danger threatened by the vii
famous mongrels, known as "Com-
munists, Anarchists, Syndicalists"
and other names. Any man who
teaches sedition in any form ought to
be either imprisoned or deported from
this country-and the expectation Of
such cattle is the cheaper and safer
means by which can get rid Of them.
Davey's bill reads mighty strong and
We hope that Congress win lose no
time in passing it-or one stronger.
Go to il, Mr.. Davey. The South has
less Of sedition than any section Of the
nation, and we are for you in your
fight against the skunks vino plan

doors in the dark hours of the night.

What is undoubtedly the largest

ever made was that which was played
in Festival Hall, in st. Louis, during
the exposition in 1904. It was origi-

1t remained in storage for years and
was then bought by John Wanamaker
and installed in his Philadelphia store
where it was played every working
day. The organ weighs $4,000
