HONOR GOES TO JAMESTOWN
Vireinlan City Was the Scene Of the
First Representative Assembly
in the United States.

The Pilgrims have been referred to
as the virtual founders Of this nation
In the sense that they first proclaimed
the principles upon which our gov
eminent is based. Woodrow Wilson,
in his History of the American
People," speaking Of the Virginian
assembly which met in the chancel Of
the church at jamestown July 30,
1919, says:
eve look back with some emotion
upon 1t as the first representative
assembly in America, as to the be-
ginning of liberty and self-gOvernment
in the English colonies; but the colo
nists themselves seem to have taken
1t very quietly, as If they had expect
ed it and looked upon 1t as a matter
of course in the circumstances"
In the year before Sir George
Yeardley had brought from England
a document which Virglnians were
henceforth to regard as the Great
Charter of their liberties, "a docu-
ment which made Of their colony a.
little commonwealth"
SO the jamestown colony was the
first to have an assembly and writ
ten constitution, and it also was the
first to have "trial by jury, an en-
dowed college, a schoolhouse, a school
for Indians, a minister, church, to
have a marriage ceremony, Thanks
giving day, hospital, a library, a
courthouse, a post Office, Masonic
temple, and was the first to Christian
lie the negro" as a southern writer
points out.

Something understanding in the Vi

A woman g fondest hope is to stay
young. She often resorts to paints,
powders and cosmetics to hide her
years. Some women pay large sums to
so-called "Beauty Doctors" in the be-
lief that money will buy youth. Others
wear girlish dresses, thinking they can
fool the world about their age. But
NO one is deceived. The more you try
to hide your age, the more it shows.
There lie but one thing that holds old
age back, and that is health. Sickness
and weakness bring old age early in
life. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton is building-up medicine for
women. 1t makes them healthy and
strong when they suffer from women q
troubles. 10 keeps them looking young
by keeping them well. 1t is woman .
tonic for the frail, the delicate and
those who are nervous, dizzy and who
have backache and dragging pains.
Favorite Prescription is altogether

alcohol 1t is safe to take. Try it
sow. In tablet or liquid form at all
druggists, or send 10c for trial package
of the tablets to DR.. Pieree's Inyalids'

able in View of Statement He
Had Previously Made.

A well known physician of New
York tells why he does not know
whence his ancestors came. 1
Now, he had always understood that
his ancestors were Scotch-Irish, and
on the strength of that belief had
prided himself on their royal blood.
Once 1t occurred to him to go and
have look at the old place whence
they were supposed to have come
When he arrived at what he believed
was the right district he appealed to
an old Irishman to tell him the exact
spot.
The Celt regarded him much as one
does a crazy man, and then said:
"Ye say that your ancestors emf
grated from here 200 years ago? Then
why the deuce, sir, are We lookin' for
them here now?'

OLDEST MEMbER IN SERVICE
Expires at Hospital From Effects Of
an Operation for Appendicitis
Stunning Blow to the
Capitol.

Senator ]. Parks Worley, of Sullivan
county, the oldest member of the Ten
nessee legislature in point OF service,
died at the Protestant hospital here
from the effects of an operation for
appendicitis.
The senator's death was stunning
blow to the capitol. Everybody knew
Parks Worley. He was able to stir
around a little during the pre-legisla'
tive gatherings of last week.
January 8, when the legislature met
it was reported that he was i'll in his
room of the Hermitage Hotel. The
oath of office was administered to
him at the hotel two days later, and
the day after he was taken to the
hospital. He did not attend any OF
the sessions of the Senate, although
from his room he paired with Senator
Graham on the caucus race for secre
tary of state. That vote was for
Harry Wilson, an ex;sergeant in the
30th Division.
Senator Worley had served in the
legislature since 1907. He succeeded
John /. Cox in the Senate in 1913.
During all the turmoil OF 1909, 1911
and 1918 he was regular Democrat,
and was always recognized as lead
or. OF late years in the Senate he was
frequently chairman of the finance
committee. In the Senate OF 1915
he sat as member of the court of inn
parchment which tried Jesse Edging-
ton and Newt Estes.
He was regarded as one of the most
astute politicians in the state. For
some time he was revenue agent in
east Tennessee and two years ago was
appointed United States marshal. He
did not regard the marshalship as a
bar to sitting in the legislature, and
his death created vacancy in that
office as we'll as in the State Senate
Senator Worley was AZ years old.
