VACATION CAMP FOR BOYS.

State Y. M. C. A. prepares for open.
ing June LIST.
Preparation for the State "Y'
Boys Camp are crystalizing rapidly
Within the next few days, Chester A
Kerr, State Boys Work Secretary
and Camp Director, together with 8
large group of older boys, will go to
Rock Island to begin the actual work
Of getting the camp grounds ready
for the first group OF campers.
The camp site is located two and a
half miles above the Tennessee Pow
er Company's dam on the Collins
River. One hundred and sixty three
acres of land, about one half of which
is timber, will give ample room for a
greatly varied program of camp ac-

ground for seventeen tents, a mess
hall and kitchen and other necessary
buildings. These living quarters will
be located on a beautiful cliff over
looking bend in the river.

HicbS udi anu hlCCHtH ldhcfl care VI,
the party will proceed to lay out the
new quarter mile tract and baseball
diamond which are the main features
of the athletic field. In addition,
three tinnis courts, four volley ball
courts and four basket ball courts
will be layed off. A dock and boat
house, together with a diving tower

sary buildings to be put up, in order

a long, earnest talk. Returning, he

to her, gave her some fright, and
when she saw the mule prancing
back and forth along the lot fence
trying to break into the barnyard she
naturally believed the negro man had
been killed or injured.
She and negro boy ran to the
mule. Then came the negro man
! limping along and holding one arm.
"Are you hurt 2" asked Mrs. Clax-
ton.
"No, mistus, All amt hut but All

Mrs. Claxton was very much put
out by the incident, so that afternoon
she visited a justice of the peace
nearby to see If she could collect dam
ages when the boat returned.
The advice was for her to attach
the boat. The proper papers were
issued by the justice and few days
afterward the boat was heard blow
ing her whistle in the lower bends.
Mrs. Claxton went to the squire's Of
flee and was ready to proceed. When
the boat landed she and the court went
aboard. The negro blowing had been
sent for as a witness. He drove the
mule, Butch, to buggy.
On board the boat the squire made
known his wishes. Capt. Jim came
down from his room in the Texas rub
bing his eyes. He had been asleep.

CORROBORATION.
OF Interest to Lexington Readers.

For months Lexington citizens have
seen in these columns enthusiastic
praise of Doan's Kidney Pills by Lex
ington residents. Would these prom
inent people recommend remedy
that had not proven reliable? Would
they confirm their statements after
years had elapsed If personal expert
ence had not shown the remedy to be
worthy of endorsement? The follow.
ing statement should carry convic-
ton to the mind Of every Lexington
reader.
Mrs. r. E. Hopper, Reid St., Lex

STEAMBOAT WHISTLE
UNCOVERED ROMANCE

The first steamboat to operate or
the Tennessee River with wildcat
whistle was the w. A. Johnson. She
ran from Paducah to Florence, Ala.
in 1886. Her captain was a middle
aged man. He had been on Tennessee
River boats many years and was
known as jim. His last name makes
no difference, because half Of the
shippers of the Tennessee only spoke
of him as "Capt. jim"
On the particular trip of the john
son, Larson Pell was one of her pi-
lots. He was fond of blowing the
steamers new whistle, which made
folks sit up and listen for miles
around. It was in the forenoon when
the boat blew to land at Grains lum-
Der yard, (about four miles from Per-
ryvile.)
Mrs. Alice Claxton owned big
farm that extended to the banks OF
the river. Her residence was mile
or more back, beautiful old colonial
home that was left her by her father.
Mrs. Claton was a dashing young
widow, who was the first woman in
that part of Tennessee undertaking
to farm her own land, and reports are
that she was success.
A negro plowman was working in a
field of corn when the steamer blew
to land. The screeching whistle
frightened a gray mule named Butch.
He broke away from the negro and
ran through the field, tearing down
corn as he went. Jumping fence he
broke the traces to the pillow and new
er stopped until he brought up at the
baryard gate.
Mrs. Claxton was sitting on her
front porch. The whistle, being new

shall devote my life now to training
young men to do their duty in life. =
Robert E. Lee.
In occurring its attention upon the
training and preparation of young
men and women for type of service
which will count for most of the life
Of the nation, the Southern Metho-
dist Church has undertaken no new
thing under the sun, but is simply fol-
lowing the example of Robert E. Lee
and other great leaders. Through the
Christian Education Movement the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
proposes to render vital service to
the church, the nation and the world.
Robert E. Lee lived before the day
Of drives" movements" and whirl-
wind campaigns, but, far in advance
Of his time, he realized that the only
hope for the stricken South lay in es-
|tablishing its fortunes upon the broad
and safe foundation of Christian edu-
cation. Indeed General Lees conse-
Grafton to life service in the inter-
est of Christian education makes one
of the most pathetic chapters in the
history Of the South. The Southland
was in ashes and ruins. He had sur
rendered one of the greatest armies
in history, and his own home, beauti-
full Arlington, was in ruins and he
himself was penniless. II was expect
ed that he would TRIP to build up his
fortunes and place his family in the
position of his ancestors. Flattering
offerings of high and remunerative
positions in commercial lines both at
home and abroad; the leadership of
church and state institution, opened
up to him a brilliant future.
He turned from them all. His heart
went out in fullness and depth to his
stricken country and its needs He
realized that its only hope lay in the
proper education of its youth. Wash
ington College, at Lexington Va, was
selected as the base for his noble
plans. He gathered together stu
dents, teahers, buildings and endown-
ments, and saturated them with fine
spirit and set up forever its ideals Of
Christianity, honor and patriotism.
His investment brought dividends
which even his wishes could not have
foreseen. A steady stream Of mis-
sionaries and ministers have borne
testimony to the religious atmosphere
Of the institution, and one Of the most
jealous alumni associations is main
tanned in China. Distinguished citi-
zens in every walk of life have gone
from its halls equipped to help in re-
building the waste places in the
South and have enriched its onward
march with their lives and influences
nodded under the example and teach
ings Of this great Christian leader.
As it was with the South then, so
il is with the world to-day. It's tur-
mol and unrest calls for Christian
leadership. The world looks to Amer
lea for this leadership, and the Meth |
