S.-Before the special Senate committee of investigation, Senator Watson, to sustain his contention that American soldiers had been sum- mari ly punished and in some in- stances executed, without suff- cient investigation, today sub- mitted an affidavit charging that twelve American soldiers had been hanged in one town in France during the war.

 T don't know whether they had been condemned by court martial or not" the affidavit read.

As to Peanuts.

AS rule the Obion County farmer
knows but little about the cultivation
of peanuts, as this is not considered
a peanut soil, though it is much better
adapted to them than is generally
conceded. Mr.. H. A. Wade, three
miles this side of Troy, grew some
very fine red ones this summer and
tried very successful experiment in
their cultivation. The top of the
red nut stands up like a bush and
the nuts are in a cluster around the
roots. Mr.. Wade bent some of the
top or vine to the. ground and COW
cred them with dirt by use of spade
and these vines took root and bore
nuts to within few inches of the
end on some of them, thereby in
creasing his crop almost one hundred
percent. The vine of the white nuts
runs on the ground and sends down
4 spike or root and makes nuts all
along of its own nature. He said the
Increase in the crop paid him well
or his extra work covering the vine. |

pcnsive mi-take has been made. Only
cities where streets are occupied by
high valued property can afford as

Death of Soldier Boy.

The remains of Clarence A. Jen-
kins, shipped from France, reached
here thru the War Department last
Sunday morning, under military es-
cort Tie body was taken to the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. N. M. Jenkins,
parents of the deceased.
On Monday afternoon funeral
services were held at the Methodist
Church, conducted by the pastor,
Rev. e. M. Mathis. Pail bearers and
uniformed men from the -1ilton Tai
ley Post, American Legion, came into
the church with the casket covered
with the drapery of the American
flag. The church altar and choir
loft were draped with vine and flow
ers
A large number of people were
present to pay the last sad rites to
one of the American heroes whose
lifeblood was shed upon :-.e fields of
France.
Clarence A. Jenkins was the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ M. Jenkins, this
city. He was born at Waverly and
the family moved to Union City
twelve years ago. The young man
was employed here first in the Saml.
D. Woosley grocery store, afterwards
in the Forester Cafe. He was known
to be very, attentive and courteous
in business and of most excellent per-
sonal character. He was "a years of
age at the time of his death, Oct, 16,
1918.
At the time of enlistment the
young man was called to Camp Pike,
Ark, and transferred to Camp Mer-
rift, N. j., leaving Aug. II for
France and arriving Aug. "a. He
was attached to Company L. 167th
Infantry.
Deceased is survived by his par
cnts, Mr.. and Mrs. N. M Jenkins,
and his brothers and sisters, as fol-
lows: Alvin, Melbert, Ernest, Beu-
lab and Elvie.
The remains were conveyed to
East View Cemetery and buried with
honors, closing with squad
firing and taps.
Rest his soul in peace, and may
the spirit of his youth surrendered to
God and that of his young manhood
to the cause of humanity be caught
up by the legion of angels for the
final victory over sin and death.

The Metropolitan Orchestra.

The first number of the Re6path
winter lyceum course, the Netropoli-
tan Orchestra, was present. d last
Monday night. under the auspices of
the ladies of the Union City church
societies, at Reynolds Theatre.
1t was announced by the ladies
that the course this season would be
exceptionally fine, and those of us
who had the pleasure of attending
the opening concert by the Metro
politan Orchestra can at least add
our plaudits to the statement.
The organization includes first vi
olin. piano, flute, cornet, cello and
reader. In the first place we are
prompted to say that they are all
artists, with quartette of charming
voices.
The program was an exquisitely
delightful affair, extending far into
the evening, but hardly a soul in
the house would have been willing
to leave if there had been more.
Like all true artists, the ladies were
ready and supremacy happy in their
encores.
The selections could not have been
more appropriately timed to the oc-
casion. There were score numbers
from few of the heavy works, bat
there were also signs of rythm from
dancing eyes and feet and the mod
ern syncopation came in for a little |
polite attention. 1t was real jazz,
not crucifixion.
Surely the party of young women |
who can laugh and joke when rudely |
awakened at five O'Clock ano rushed
from the big town sleeper to the day
coach of local train without even
a sip of coffee must have music in
their souls. This is how they came
to Union City, and no wonder we had
good music.
This is not written for the benefit
of the church societies. We have
seen brutality frank criticisms by
New York newspaper critics even of
the great Metropolitan singers for
lax work and for voices overtaxed in
concert work.
But in this case we can say without
unpleasant comment that the violin,
piano. the flute and the voice num-
bers were the more popular features,
but there was communion of text
and spirit in the entire work which
made the evening entertainment a
genuine treat.
Some of the new themes from MA
dame Butterfly in costume and 9TH
ers were rendered. But what brought
genuine pleasure to some of the
was the music from such
things as the old Fortune Teller"
We could fancy almost that we were
again listening to the once 1.-the
some Alice Nielsen in her popular
song inspirations from the Victor
Herbert score. (.
But we leave it to the rest of the
audience to. Judge.

The Rail Strike.
pair

Our ideas of the rail strike are al
most identical with the action of
the Lions Club last Tuesday -
The club says if it must come,
then let's fight it out if it takes all
summer apologies to General Grant,
But there are some other things
(theTe are many other things with a
big industry like th:s), but the one
thing which will forever change The
political map of the United States
is government ownership. 1t is pos
itively staggering to hear some men
sit complacently, and after they have
gone thru the schedule of stock ar
gument, including high living costs,
etc., to fall back in an attitude of
satisfaction when they conclude that
the question will never be settled un-
til the government owns the roads.
This paper wants to make this rad
ical remark: There never was
more utterly selfish thought in the
mind of man. Government owner
ship means that the railroads of the
United States should be operated ex-
clusively for the benefit of railroad
men. 1t means that the railroads go
into the political melting pot and
that the agricultural anG every other
dependent class will be taxed for the
support of this organization.
Government ownership means that
the last vestige of democracy will be
swept from the earth and that this
government will become the most
despotic and finally the most utterly
deplorable and wretched remains of
once famous national organization
of peoples.
If the time comes when the gov
eminent is compelled to buy the rail-
roads of the United States l sincerely
hope that every car and coach will
be taken from the tracks, the engines
taken back to the shops and foun-
dries and the road beds turned into
motor driven transportation for rri-
vate uses.
1t is not unfair to say that, man to
man, every person should have fair
treatment in the settlement o: pubic
di3putes-rail wages should not be
cut unless salaries and freight rates
are also reduced.
But when tho rail Garner turns
around and says nothing will satisfy
until the government takes our case
and gives us what we demand-then |
the scales of justice turn with the
bottom on top and free government is
destroyed by class rule.
The real solution of tho whole mat
ter, if Congress could only open its |
eyes until its nose is visible, is to de-
velop the public highways of the
United States with the money it is |
spending on the rivers and harbors
and every other imaginable CRATE,
and make it possible, which is no
dream, for the motor car and truck |
to displace the great need of the rail
ways.
Then the government could wash |
it's hands of the railroad problem.

A Striking Statement.


critics in Union City. One class de-
plores the condition of our streets
and charges the administrator with
ultra conservatism and failure tc
keep up with the civic progress OF
other towns. The other class finds
the city tax ridden and our finances
leading us to ruin.
OF course these are the two ex-
tremes. There are a number of cit
liens ready to take a more sensible
view. There are those who try to
understand the problems that con-
front the city fathers and are ready
to defend them.
AS this paper has stated on sew
eral occasions, we believe it is fact
that Union City has from rs earliest
history been better governed with
less actual waste and extravaganza
than any other town of similar pro-
portions that we know of.
There has never been a whisper of
municipal scandal in Union City. Ten
and twenty years ago every impor-
tant city in the United states had it's
public scandal involving thousands
and millions. Some of this was in
franchises and contracts some of it
was actually stolen.
Perhaps the smaller towns didn't
suffer as much, but there may have
been less said about them. The per-
son responsible for this article has
probably attended more council meet
ings in Union City than any other
citizen who has not been member
of the council or Board of Mayor and
Aldermen. And the point we are
trying to make is that every one of
the administrations fof the last
twenty years has done its level best
to take care of the interests of the
Corporation of Union City, to guard
and protect its assets and to render
the best service in public achieve
ment and public bettermcnts.
