THE RED CROSS APPEAL

Despite politics or policies, about
this time each year there comes from
the White House a universal call for
service-a call to the people of the
United States that they shall not for
get the great principles upon which
the nation is founded-the brother
hood of man.
It comes in the nature of a procla-
nation from the president to observe
Sunday, November IL, as Red Cross
Sunday by generous contributions, to
both local and national work.
It is needless to remind the people
of Upton county of their duty On
every hand evidences of the helpful
ness of the sacrifical service of the
Red Cross is seen. From our win
dows each day we see passing a little
boy, once pitifully lame, but through
Red Cross Intervention and the big
heart Of great physician, greatly
helped. We know many ex-seryice
men, who, but for Red Cross advice,
would still be burden to themselves
and an economic problem of society.
They have been sought out, have been
told Of the governments willingness
:. ass;sf and are now in hosnitals.
vocational schools, or in a position
where they are now contributing
members of the community. It isn't
our privilege to heed the presidents
call; it is just our simple duty. The

THE ELECTION MAKES DEMO.
Gratis HAPPY

There is much rejoicing among
Democrats throughout the country
as a result Of the election held Tues
day.
In Tennessee we are happy because
the state has returned to the faith of
the fathers and is again in the Demo-
cratic column. Mcclellan goes back
to the Senate by unprecedented ma
jority Of $4,000 votes. Peay's ma
jority over Taylor will probably reach
10000. Hereafter the state will have
only two Republican congressman in
stead Of five, as in the past.
The Republican majority in the
lower House Of Congress is almost, if
not entirely, wiped out. Many of the
old guards will be left at home and
new faces-Democratic faces-will
be seen in their places.
In the Senate the Republican ma,
jOrity will be substantially reduced.
States like Indiana, Maryland, New
Jersey, New York, Michigan and
West Virginia are sending up Demo-
Gratis to take the places of Repupli-
cans in the Senate. Some of the
most important of these states have
elected Democratic governors. All
over the country it is big Demo
cratic landslide. 1t seems that the
Republicans have been weighed in
the balance and found wanting.
One prominent writer says that
it is not so much a question of
parties as it is discomfort on the part
of the people and a disposition to
vote in the negative. Our belief,
however, is that the people know what
they want and have mot found it in
the performances of the Republicans,
either in the states or in the capitol
at Washington. They have been long
on promises and short in the fulfill
ment. If they do not win back the
confidence of the people in the next
two years the next president will be
a Democrat.
The American people want decision,
action and results and they are not in
q humor just now to bubble and
wait. The Republicans have had a
difficult task in the past two years,
but their leadership has been weak
and their accomplishments negligible.
The people have analysed the stu
alton and have expressed their dis
approval
In Tennessee we are fortunate in
again having the legislature and the
governor Of the same political party.
Much remedial legislation is needed
and it ought to be secured without
confusion or discord.
We congratulate our own repre-
sentatives, George Ellis, William
Mechanism and Frank Gailor, that
they are to serve with Democratic
governor. There ought to be, and
doubtless will be, the most friendly
spirit of cooperation between the
legislature and executive branches Of
the state government.
Again we say that there is rejoic-
ing, and good cause for rejoicing,
among the Democrats over the re-
suits of the election, but the broadest
and mast lasting smiles we see are
on the faces of old-line Democrats,
who could never believe that a Re-
publican was the right thing for Ten
nessee, anyhow.

ional Charter, which called it into
being, the American Red Cross is
charged with certain clearly defined
duties and obligations. These it has
continued, during the past year, to
discharge faithfully and efficiently,
There are peculiarly urgent reasons
to appeal this year in behalf Of an
even greater generosity than has been
necessary in some other times, be-
cause Of the extraordinary demands
upon such services Of mercy and hui
manity. One of the most fearful
disasters of all history has befallen
the Inflated Near Eastern area,
where the lives of millions of un-
fortunate people even now depend
and must continue for long time to
depend on the untiring liberality Of
more favored communities. A very
great sum is required to be raised if
the emergency shall be met; and while
the task is one to which all well-dis-
posed peoples must contribute, our
own country in virtue alike of its
inspirations of humanity, and its
fortunate endowment in material
possessions, must be conspicuous for
both the great share it shall give and
the high spirit animating the gift. 1t
is therefore asked that cooperation
be established between the Red
Cross, the Near East Relief, and all
other agencies which are concerned
to assist in dealing with this crisis.
ain the domestic field demands
continue to press heavily upon the
Red Cross. The government is earn
estly seeking to insure to every dis
eased or disabled ex-service man the
full measure of care and help which
national gratitude and simple JUS
tice dictate. The aim must be to re-
store every service man to the best
possible health and the largest OPP
portunity for normal self-support-
ing life. In this effort the govern
ment, the army and navy have gladly
availed themselves of the assistance
of the Red Cross, which, due to its
nationwide volunteer organization,
has been a constant and valued aid"

Cotton Crop and Ginning

The cotton crop in this particular
section is about picked, ginned and
sold. Up to the present date the Ida
vile gin, which gins most of the cot
ton for this immediate section of the
county, has ginned 613 bales, of
which 503 bales were sold to the
local merchants. Faulkner and Nc
Cain. 1t is estimated that they will
yet gin between 80 and so bales
more, making a total of about $50
bales for the whole season, as against
535 bales last year. While these fig
ures have the appearance of larger
crop this year than last in this COM

is not so good, but the Idaville Gin
Co. have enjoyed a larger patronage
