DO YOUR UTMOST
Give to Yourself By Contributing te
the M e. Church Educational
Drive for $33,o00,00O

Only one more issue of the Chron
icle will appear before the great ed
ucational drive of the M. E. Church
South, for the $33,ooo,ooo fund will
ibe over, and we wish to urge with al
possible force that every citizen OF
the county make a special effort to
contribute to this cause.
When it is remembered thai every
dollar given in this county can go
to the new school this church has
arranged to establish in this county,
every one will see how easy it is for
us to give to our own home people
by giving to this fund.
The great and final drive will be
launched next Sunday, May 2o, and
will continue over June S, eight full
days. You will be allowed to sub
scribe any amount, to be paid in FIVE
years. if you choose, and you have
only to so state for the amount you
give to be applied to this new school,
the school that the church is to es-
tablish in this county, your school,
and it will be used as you direct.
The people of Crossyille and the
county have bought 42o acres of land
and given it to the school, The To-
cation is central and ideal as it is on
the Tennessee Central and the Dixie
Short Route Highway. The School
is to embrace aliterary course OF the
very finest grade, which will prepare
students to enter any college or uni
versity in the land. Modern methods
of dairying, domestic science, teach
ing, business, forestry, milling, and
similar pursuits will be taught. The
most scientific equipment, appliances
and machinery of every sort will
be used. The school is expected to
open for work this fall. There has
been set aside $4,000 of the centen-
ary fund for erecting the first build
ingS and furnishing such equipment
as will be necessary to receive stu
dents this fall, beginning in Septem-
Der. This movement intends to raise
$4,000 extra to be used in developing
this school. This makes it very plain
that much more will be spent here for
the benefit of the young people of
this section than our people are like
|y to give. That fact should lead us,
one and all, to feel the call of duty
very strongly to lend all possible aid
3y subscribing all we possibly can pay
through the next five years. Make
up your mind to do a generous part
n this great movement for it will re-
urn to you like bread cast upon the
only many fold greater than
you give.

RUpTURED BLOOD VESSEL
J. M. Oakes, Aged AZ, Passed Away
Saturday-Buried in City
Cemetery Sunday.

j. M. Oakes. aged AZ, died at his
hame here Saturday at II a. m., as
the result of hemorrhage of the
brain, with which he was stricken
Thursday evening shortly after quit
| ting work.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by Rev. c. F. Starns Sunday and
the remains were laid to rest in the
city cemetery attended by numerous
relatives and friends.
The deceased had been working on
the Dixie Short Route with Superin-
tendent F. A. Loshbougt1 all day
Thursday and after quitting work
and returning home he vent to look
after a COW, which proved unruly and
caused him to exert himself so that
he got very hot. He entered the house
and was suddenly stricken with d
pain in the head which soon render
ed him unconscious. He never ral-
lied and died Saturday. Doctors who
made an examination stated that the
attack was due to a ruptured blood
vessel that caused a blood clot on
the brain.
The deceased was an industrious
and respected citizen. He was honest
and upright in his dealings and was
respected most by those who knew
him best. He was a quiet man, taxi
ing no special part in public affairs,
but always attentive to work. For
some months he worked as a section
tion hand but had resigned that place
a few weeks before his death. ,...-

SWIMMING POOL TO Be OPENED
John A. Hassler, Crab Orchard. Is
Arranging to Build Bath Booths
On Daddys Creek.

A movement is on foot to establish
a swimming poll and bath booths on
DaddyS Creek near the bridge on the
Memphis-to-Bristcl Highway, eight
nn'es east of Crosvil!" J. A. Hassier
is pushing the enterprise.
He plans to build an open shed
2ox2o feet to be used for picnic pur-
poses and will erect "a bath booths
to be used by the subscribers. The
service is to be rendered for FIVE
years for the consideration of $I2.5o.
Seventeen names were signed to the
contract when seen by the Chronicle,
which would indicate that the whole
24would be taken within a short time.
if not by the time this reaches our
readers.
The contract specifies that no one
shall have whiskey in or about the
booths and any person so doing will
forfeit his lease.
The contract does not specify what
action will be taken to arrange the
bed of the stream for safe and pleas
ant bathing place, but as is known the
floor of the stream is quite smooth
there for some distance, it will prob
ably only require a small amount of
expense to remove such few OBJ
structions as exist and thereby render
the pool most pleasant spot for
swimming.
Some such convenience is badly
needed by both Crossville and Crab
Orchard and it is probable that this
initial movement will develop into
of great importance and
prove a most delightful recreation
ground The movement should be
encouraged, as the number of boths
can be increased to meet the demand,
be that what it may.

America may yet go wrong. Already tho

Out of the Christian College
The Christian college is the only institution
which even claims to produce leaders with
both trained minds and Christian hearts. It is.
therefore, fundamental in American life.
Its influence can give stability to the turbulent

 When general order No. 2S was promulgated. it was generally un- derstood throughout the country that the effect was a 25 per cent increase in all rates affecting move ments of freight on all railroads un- der government control. When the order was officially perused and carefully considered, it was found that there were about 5 to 20 basic commodities which were excepted from the 25 per cent flat increase. and which were given> specific in creases per ton of 1000 pounds and per 100 pounds Among these com modities on which specific increases were made, instead of flat 25 per cent Increases were the commodi- ties named above. For instance, on cotton, MT. McAdoo put in an in crease In Alabama of Is cents per 100 pounds. which was practically 100 per cent increase, as the average haul of cotton in Alabama is around 50 miles.
 This same situation existed rela- tive to coal coke and certain grain and grain products included in the citation issued Dy the comfnlSsioii Thursday.
