There are thousands OF banks. state
and private. that handle billions OF
dollars annually. and just as culpable
under this blanket allegation, which
are not members OF the system, but in
fact are its rivals
Most reprehensible OF all is the in
nuendo that the fall in the prices OF
Liberty bonds Is due to this agency
and that there was a deliberate de-
ception OF those who invested In them.
Malignancy could not 20 much farther
than this evil thing which Is full mate
TO physical murder. II Is a thought
worthy of the leaders Of the l. w. W.
or the Bolsheviki. and II viii excite
their admiration for the precise and
potential effect II will have in under
mining confidence in government.
As a convincing example of the
length to which ignorant lust OF polit-
lcai power win carry the patronage
hunters. this incident is striking in its
power.

Of the country through this inI1y pool

reason that the confidence OF the COM

may be called foundation principles.
The time has come to call a halt
upon the assaults on the Federal Re

very recent charge OF political COM
mittee on platform which seeks 10 cast
the blame for initiation upon that insti-
tuition. 1t is very well known that the
financial forces. whose headquarters
is in New York, have no love for the
system and would either cripple 1t or
have it led a captive into their con-
troll. There is warrant for the assump-
tion that the partisans. in their greedy
grabbing for power, are ready TO lend
themselves to this desperate scheme.
Every business man. manufacturer,
banker and merchant knows that III
it had not been for the Federal Re-
serve Bank this country would have
been laid PROSTATE by panic, fncom-

DIR. BARRY DIES IN NASHVILLE.

DR.. Daniel AIRY, aged rs years had
he lived until next December 18th,
died Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock
in Nashville, at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. J. NJ. McClanehan, 21S
Scott Ave. DR.. Barry had long been
physically disabled and his death was
not unexpected.
DIR. Barry was the oldest living
member of the entire Barry family,
children of the children of the late
Judge v. d. Barry, who died in Mem
phis in 1854 or '55. He was the elder
son of DIR. William Barry. His half
brother, DR.. Tom Barry, died in Per-
ry county few years ago and is sur
vived by four half sisters-Mrs. Fan
ME Ewing, Mrs. Laura Jones, Mrs.
Julia Terrell and Mrs. Minnie Walker.
| He was married in Perry county in
perhaps 1877 to Miss Emma Jane,
daughter of the late John v. Horner,
who survives him, as do the only two
children they ever hsd--Mrs. J. M.
McC lanahan, tMaudl and Mrs. John
Is. Reid, (Elma) both Of whom have
lived in Nashville Tor several years. :
After Maud married and went with
her husband to Nashville to live,
her parents broke up their home in
Perry county, where the doctor had
practiced his profession for many
years on Lick Creek, and went to
Nashville to live. There they found a
happy home. under the roof of one de-
voted daughter and very close to the
home of the other. We can testify
that no father and mother ever had
better more affectionate or more du-
tiful children. He was essentially a
good man and Of all our kin we never
loved one more than we did cousin
Dan.
Dr., Barry never belonged to any
church but had always been strictly
moral. He had belonged to the Ma
sonic order but we do not know
whether he kept up his membership.
He was soldier of the Confederacy
and was Democrat but was always
a man Of mild expression and consid-
GRAFTON for the opinions Of others in
every respect.
The remains were inferred in Nash
vile.

HIGH SCHOOL.

New students continue to enter the
High School each week.
Tests are on this week. We hope
that every one will be able to make a
high grade.
How delightful! Moved into the
New High School building Tuesday
1t is one of the most magnificent
buildings in this entire country. Just
to be in it and to enjoy it. When fin
ished everything will be conducive to
the very best work.
Mrs. Spellings did not meet her
classes Tuesday. She was called to
Hazel Monday evening.
On Tuesday of last week the school
was favored with reading and a pi-
ano duet by students of the special
departments. These innovations are
highly entertaining as well as bene-
fetal to the performers; and the
teachers very graciously promised
many more treats for the future.
The basketball game Saturday was
said to have been one of the fastest
games ever played on the Lexington
court. 1t was full of pep from the
sound of the first whistle until the
end. The result was a victory for the
home team. To mention the good
plays made by our boys would include
the name Of each player.
The home team was backed up by
the spirit of loyalty and enthusiasm
Of the students shown by the songs
and yells. They really helped the
team win.
The members Of the third year
class showed themselves equal to the
occasion when they conducted chapel
exercise Friday morning. The pro-
gram was as follows: Piano solo by
Miss Nettie Wolfe; Scripture reading
and prayer, Miss Bert Youngerman;
Vocal Solo, Mr.. Paul Walker; Read
ing, Miss Elizabeth Beasley; Chorus
by the class. The exercises were
highly enjoyed and would have been a
credit to pupils more advanced in
years.
Miss Muse and her domestic science
class have the thanks Of tie athletic
association for the delicious refresh
ments served to the team and visit
ors Saturday afternoon.
Friends are most cordially invited
to visit the High School during school
hours. We most earnestly insist that
no one enters the building on Satur-
day or Sunday.

TEXAS EDITOR WRITES
SANE AND TIMELY SERMON

Above all else this country needs q
nationwide revival of old-fashioned
religion-a religion that makes men
realize that if there is a Heaven, there
must, also, of necessity be a hell
A religion that makes a man realize
that every act is recorded on his own
conscience, and though = that may
slumber, it can never die.
A religion that makes an employer
understand that if he is unfair to his
employees and pays them less than
fair wages, measured by his ability
and their efficiency and zeal, he is a
|robber- So
A religion that makes an employee
know that If he. does not give full and
| efficient service, be too is a robber--
/ A religion that makes farmer
!who packs bad fruit at the bottom
land deceiyes the buyer by the good
fruit on the top, realize that he is a
thief just as much as the one who
frobs a henroost at night
A religion that makes man who
robs a railroad Of its fare, or its
freight bill, know that he robs himself
/ of all right to feel that he is an hon
est MAN.
A religion that makes a man realize
that by driving too hard a bargain
with his servant, his employe or his
merchant, he is-just as much a profit
eer as the seller or producer who
swindles by false weight, false pack
ing or false charges
| A religion that will teach church
members who fail to contribute to the
extent Of their ability TO the support
Of religion, and that compels them to
recognize that if they are paying
their pastor less than living salary
they are robbing God and men alike
A religion that will make the labor
ing man, who by threats or actual vio-
lence against the non-union man,
strives to keep him out of employ
ment, realize that he is at heart
murderer and is numbering the indi-
viduality, and the liberty of his fellow
man, and is displacing a hatred which,
if it has the opportunity, will commit
physical murder
A religion that will make the poll
tician who yields principle for the
sake of party, who worships at the
feet of any class and sells his soul for
political preferment know that he is
not only coward and a poltroon, and
unworthy of the respect of any decent
man, but which will also make him
see that he is helping to murder hu-
man liberty, as great a crime as MUIR
dering the individual man
In short, we need revival Of that
religion which will make every man
and woman strive in every act Of life
to do that which, on the great judy
ment Day, they will wish they had
done, as with soul uncovered they
stand before the Judgment Seat Of
the Eternal.
Until the people Of this nation &C
cept and live this religion there will
be strife where there should be peace,
there win be strikes and lockouts and
murder where there should be COOP
Grafton and harmony;there will be ha-
tired where there should be friendship
and love.
In the Golden Rule, followed in the
fullness of the spirit of this kind of
religion, there would be found a So
luton for every business trouble;
there would be created friendship be-
tween employer and employee; capital
and labor would work in harmony and
with efficiency, efficiency for the cap

Opium Crop Arouses Annoy
Fight Started to Prevent Plant
ing i'm Fukien Province

Annoy, China, Sept. 1s.-Organiza-
sion is being taken by Annoy to pre-.
opium in Fukien Province. Educa-
tional, religious and business organi-
cations are cooperating. A mass meet
ing has been held for discussion of
the subject, and messages telegraphed
to the President and the Provincial
Governor uring enforcement of the
law.
In a worldwide appeal it is de-
clared that "the South Fukien Opium
Prevention Society, realizing the open
and willful disregard of the law pro-
hibiting the production of opium, and
knowing that during the last year
enough opium was produced for five
years and that another crop will sup
ply the demand for fifteen years, ap-
peals to the world press and all welfare
organizations, now that the planting
season for the new crop is at hand, to
aid in the suppression of the great
evil"
