The Sugar Question

The current topic that inter

interested in sugar because | do
not see why the price of it should
be so high. All children in the
world need it, and so do some of
the grown up people, but they
do not need it as much as the
children because they have their
growth and probably had all they
wanted when they were children.
The children need it for grow
ing. 1t supplies heat to the body.
If the children do not have it
they will not be very large or
healthy. Not so many years ago
it was four cents pound, or the
best was five or six cents a pound.

France with sugar, and most of
the ships that carry sugar were
sunk by the German submarines.
The Germans, instead of taking
the sugar for their army sunk it..
Sugar is now twenty seven cents
per pound. If so much sugar was
not sunk it would be cheaper. To
all the hundred pounds of sugar
that were sunk, the United States
had to send that much more to the
soldiers. And if Germany hadn t

Health Campaign

A health campaign for the school
children of Fayette County has been
arranged by the health committee of
the county council of agriculture. Mrs.
Ben Rhea, r. NJ, ha agreed to take
of the campaign. Four schools
where the teachers are interested will
be selected as demonstration schools.
The teacher will work up a favorable
spirit among the children, and a day
will be set for a physical examination
of all the children in each school. Those
opposing will Of course>be passed by.
On the examination day q physician will
go to the school for the examination and
Mrs, Rhea W II accompany him. After
the examination, the nurse will make
monthly visits to the school. ascertain
ing the condition of each child exapin-
ed. and will send a written report to
the childs parents and a report of the
condition of the school as q whole to
the County Board Of Health.
The County Superintendent has given
his approval of this plan and the County
School Board will be asked for funds
to purchase the necessary cards for re-

To the Voters and Taxpayers
Of Tennessee

There has been prepared by those in
charge OF Col. Taylor's candidacy a
tabUlated statement purporting to show
in parallel columns the alleged aggre-
gate of the assessments Of the proper
ity In each county of the State in 1918,
the alleged rate Of taxation for that
year, and the total tSxes paid by each
county for 1918; and the alleged sggre-
gate of the assessment in each county
for 1920 with the alleged rate and the
alleged total Of taxes to be paid under
the new assessment; and also showing
the alleged percentage of increase of
taxes in each county in the year 1920
over the year 1918,
Those in charge of Col. Taylor's
campaign are undertaking to have the
statement carried as a supplement by
the newspapers of the State. The en-
tire table is such q fabrication of un-
truths and receptions from one end to
the other that | cannot permit it to go
unchallenged. THIS table is Intentionally
deceptive and misleading and DELHI
eratelV misstates the facts that with
no intention whatever Of disseminating
the truth to the voters and taxpayers
Of Tennessee, but with wiIful intent to
deceive the voters and profit by such un-
scrupulous deception.
The column of figures showing the
allies reimbursement in each county for
1913 10 false from one end to the other.
Il shows only the assessment of reality
and personality. excluding entirely the
railroad and utility assessment in each
county, IL is certainly fair to assume
and to state that the railroad and utility
assessments for 1918, aggregating over
sl20, 900, 900. was deliberately and in.
tentionally omitted from these figures
with q dishonest and deceptive purpose,
intending to make the percentage OF in.
crease,in the assessment of 1920 in each
county over 1918 q great deal larger
than the actual increase IL.
The result is that this column O
figures shows the total assessment il
the State in 1918 to have been $500. 600,
600 when as a matter of fact from re
cords made up before Governor Roberts
became Governor of Tennessee, the as

When cattle and hogs dropped last

was no prospect Of profit in growing
them many farmers in this country re.
duced very largely their live stock crop
for the year approaching. and particu-
larry in this county was the reduction
heavy. There was no money to be
made from growing them, then why
grow them? But there conditions are
changing and unless hog prices again
slump heavily there will be money 10
them. With present and prospective
prices of feeds and hogs there is money
in growing them here. Many a well
bred hog has been marketed or killed

We believe the Democratic patty In
Tennessee today faces the grsyest
crisis It has faced In many q year. The
danger is not 50 much in an over
whelming Republican vote, but in the
small Democratic vote that now seems
in sight. Western Tennessee is the
strong hold Of the Democratic party OF
thIs state snd it's people are not filled with
the usual enthusiasm for the ticket in
the coming election. but it lie not q bat.
tie for persons. 1t Is q battle for princi-
pies. The Democratic party is the
white party 10 the state and its defeat
is the defeat of white control in the
state. To relinquish this control, even
for a few years, does not point to eom-
ing good in the state and might bring
endless trouble TO It's people. All the
people of this state are better off II the
states affairs are left to be run by its
white people and whenever it ceases to
be run by them trouble ia sure to come.
1t would be a matter OF serious regret
to this part Of the state If her colored
people should again undertake to enter
political affairs, and we hope such a
day 10 far off from the present day.
The Democratic party has had its prim-
airy, has chosen its candidates and
every loyal Democratic owes it to the
party to 60 to the polls and vote for its
nominee.

is not a war spectacle. as many
might fancy. There are no scenes
showing desperate fighting between
the armies of the North and the

In fact. the picture is a spectacle OF
human emotions and of the hearts
and souls OF men and women.
There is just enough of the Civil
War flavor about Held, By the Enc

has to do with Rachel Hayne, a
Southern girl, who is supposedly a
widow and who lives with her fam

manded by Colonel Prescott. That
officer loves Rachel and he Is about

Hayne escapes after being sem
