THOUGHTS ON THOUGHTS.
By H. j. B0len.

The man that objects to giving
Muscel Shoals over to the control Of
Henry Ford, does not have any inter-
est in the progress of the South; or
does not know what his better inter-
ests are. We expect the large corpor-
atoms of the North and the small cor
porations of the South who fear COM
petition to object, but this should
make us want the Ford project car
ried out the more.
The country schools are doing much
better work than they have ever done /;
and we believe this is largely due to
the untiring efforts of our County
Superintendent. Every community
should conceive the truth, "That ig-
norance is a dishonor to any commun-
ity of people," and stand by the tru-
ant officer, and cooperate with the
County Superintendent and other
school officials till we have a good
system of schools in Henderson coun-
fty.
Stupldlty, Solldlty, lnaptlude, Tor
special studies, vicious tendencies, are
to be regarded as q chronic disease
the pupil may be slowly cured.
Wednesday, Feby. %, being Wash
ington's birthday, found the American
people living in fourth great epoch OF
our history-the first caused by Geo
Washington in 1776, when he showed
the world that a nation could survive
in the Western Hemisphere without
the governing powers Of the old
world. This lasted till 1923 wher
Andrew Jackson took rains in hand
and caused the second. By his great
stand for the common people, this
lasted until 1868 when Abraham Lin.
coin proved to the people that the pre-.
seryation of its principles was best
Thus the third great epoch. The pres.
emit, the fourth great epoch was caus.
ed by Woodrow Wilson in his &C.
acknowledgement of the achievement Of
the past, and superior strength Of
this country, and his belief that the
time had come for America to lead the
world In the international stand fol
national unity and future peace.

DEPOT IN MOSCOW
Shrines Stripped Of Gold, Silver
and Diamonds by Soviet
to Feed Famishing
EXACT VALUE NOT KNOWN
by the Associated Press

Moscow. May 15.-Silver BY the ton,
gold by the hundredweight, pearls by
the bushel and diamonds by the peck.
Dumped. into wooden boxes, jutc sacks,
pasteboard cartons or merely wrapped
in parcels, all this treasure hoard awaits
opening and sorting at the storehouse
for valuablcs confiscatcd by the Soviet
Government from the churches and syn
agogucs Of Russia for the benefit Of the
famine sufferers.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press was permitted to visit the fivc-
story loft building which constitutes the
storehouse, by consent of NJ. !. Kalenin,
peasant president Of Russia. and heat.
of all the famine. relief organizations
One floor Of the building, about 100
feet long and 45 feet wide. is already
nearly filled with the articles coniirated
in Moscow alone. These amount to
more than Co., 900 pounds Of silver, sew
eral hundred pounds Of gold and more
than O,OO0 precious stones, mostly dia-
monds. Requisitioned articles from the
provincial churches are to be stored on
the other four floors.
Each Of the O24 packages in this big
room is sealed. and they are stacked in
tiers reaching almost to the ceiling. The
yield from some of the mOnnsteries was
too large for a single package. over
flowing into smaller boxes stacked be-
side them.
a rough list Of the articles conhs-
Gated accompanies each box as it Is
brought, under heavy guard, 10 the
storehouse, but the exact value only will
be known when appraisers open the par
cells and sort their contents. These
experts, and also the wOrkmen who
will unpack the boxes, are TO be stripped
Of their ordinary clothing and provided
with pocketless suits when the task of
sorting begins.
Motortrucks fairly bris:linG with
bayonets of the soldier escorts drive
up to the treasure house all through the
day and night, bringing boxes from the
churches. From the outer gates to the
roof the building swarms with guards.
To get permission to enter 1t at all one
must first visit another building, where
some other State treasures are stored.
and where soldiers even prevent pedcs-
trians from walking on the side of the
street OH which the building fronts.
