TL Twenty-Ninth Year. JOHNSON CITY, TENNESSEE, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1912. Whole Numt er J 470 J" I- CIGARETTES ARE BAD FOR VOr.jEf J Mrs. Woodrow Wilson Has De cided Views on Subject. A CONFUSION OF NAMES Wlf of Democratlo Candidate Gives Out Letter Taking Strong Stand on Smoking Habit. New York. For the first time since Woodrow Wilson became the Demo cratic presidential candidate has Mrs Wilson appeared. She attended In person her husband's daily conference with reporters, although heretofore she has made special requests that she be not quoted nor written about in the papers. That Mrs. Wilson wished to have fully "understood was that If she be comes the first lady of the land she will not, as has been said in a widely distributed lnterriew, have packages of cigarettes in her personal desk at the White House and indulge in smok ing them with her callers. Through Governor Wilson, Mrs. Wll son asked that publicity be given to a letter she had written to the editor of the 8tate Journal at Columbus, O., re pudlating an alleged interview with her in which she defended cigarette smoking for women. The interview had come to her In a letter signed "American Citizen." which said: """Dear Madam I can scarcely think of any greater calamity to the young women of the nation than to read such a preachment as your Interview offers them. I am a worklngman, and I see men lose their jobs almost every day Because they are incapacitated for work by the use of the cigarette. If smoking does this for strong men What will it do for girls and women?" The" "Interview" was indeed a cor dial Indorsement of the woman smok er. Here are some of its assuring phrases, all credited to Mrs. Wilson: "A woman writer for a syndicate of Sunday newspapers asked Mrs. Wood row Wilson if she agreed with Ger trude Atherton'a opinion of the smok ing of cigarettes by women. She (smil ingly exhibited throe cigarette boxes piled in the corner of her desk, all but mpty. "'Why shouldn't a woman smoke if She enjoys it?" she queried. " 'Why hasn't she just as much right to a cigarette as a man? Certainly I agree with Mrs. Atherton that any existing prejudice against women smoking is to the Inst silly and ab surd. "'Smoking cigarettes is a question of manners, not morals. . It promotes good fellowship. " 'Come women feel that a cigarette calms their nerves and helps their brains into working order. Personally smoking diffuses my thoughts instead of concentrating them. I enjoy it as I enjoy after-dinner coffee. Both are pleasant ways of ending and finishing off; both add to conviviality and good fellowship.' " The editor of the Ohio State Jour nal, it was clear, had been much In censed at the apologies for the cigar ette habit among women attributed to Mrs. Wilson, so he wrote on Aug. 10 an editorial in which he called for the defeat of Governor Wilson or a repu diation from his wlie. if there was no mistake about it, he wrote, "Mrs. Woodrow Wilson shouldn't be mis tress of the White House." If the Ohio editor was emphatic, Mrs. Wilson was certainly not less so. After the reporters had said they would gladly publish her letter to the Ohio editor aha aalrari for on hnur'a time in which to write one. This was I what she prepared: I "Dear Sir I have just received a ! copy of the Journal with your editorial entitled 'Smoking Women,' and I beg leave to indignantly deny the state ment that I approve of women smok ing cigarettes. The interview upon which your editorial waa based Is a pure invention. I Intensely dislike the cigarette imoking habit for women in fact, ao strong It my feeling on the fAre We Justified? x Perhaps we ought to be satis fied with present achievement.

"ELLEN A. WILSON. ("Mjs. Woodrow Wilson.") Governor Wilson, In approving the letter sent out by Mrs. Wilson, offered what he thought might prove an ex planation for the Interview. "I do not think it was maliciously Invented," he said. "There is a rather well known writer who signs herself Mrs. Wilson Woodrow, and she no doubt has been confused with Mrs. Wilson." Mrs. Wilson Woodrow was formerly married to a relative of Governor Wil son, and it is understood that her views on the matter of women who smoke are different from those held in the household of the Democratic candidate. It la reported that papers which are supporting the bull mooser have or dered extra fonts of "IV And they will be needed when Teddy gets to talking. Wonder how the colonel likes being n outcast?

The sixty-ninth session of the Tennessee school for the blind commenced Saturday, August 31, 1912. The school is admirably and beautifully situated on the west bank of the Cumberland river, about a mile from the Union depot and less than half that distance from the Southern and Illinois Central depot. KUctric cars puss the gate making the school accessible from all parts of the city. The faculy consists of capable and experienced teachers and it may be safely predicted that the coming year will be the brightest and most hopeful in its annals. The good people of the state, in 1844, founded thnr school for those unfortu nate children who, by reason of de fective vision, could not attend the ordinary schools. They felt that right and justice demanded that some pro vision must be" made whereby blind children may have an opportunity to obtain an education. They reasoned that if education is essential to the welfare and success of the child blessed with the greatest of all blessings, the sense of siijht, that it is then a thous and times more necessary that the blind be educated and fitted for the battle of life. This school is a pnrt of the public school system. Its province is to re ceive and educate children whose de fective sight burs them from ordinary school. In addition to tuition, the school uives books, board, laundry and medical attendance free. Parents are only required to furnish suitable cloth ing and to pay transportation to and from school. An eminent oculist is connected wiln the s0000) who "amines the i'e of eBC" cllil11 on i,JS admission and " ought can be done to mitigate pain, to improve vision, or happily to restore siirht, it is done without delay. The school physician is one of the most prominent practitioners of the city and occupies a chair in one of our med ical colleges. There is also a sick nurse who gives her entire time to the care of the sick and administers to all those with ordinary ills and ailments. Two governesses, who have charge of the hiU boys anJ girls, see that they served and that every one has enough. Manual training has formed one of the most important departments of this school from its establishment. Here hoys learn the use of tools, to tune and repair pianos and reed or gans; to make hammocks, brooms, mattresses, and tocain chairs; while the girU learn to sew, to cut and make their own clothes and also fashion many articles in woosted, raffia and beads. The school is carefully graded, re quiring in the literary department the services of eight teachers who are grad uates of the best schools and colleges in the country. " The course of study is similar to that pursued in our fore most preparatory schools. The musi cal department, which has long been noted for its excellence, engages five well trained musicians who thorough ly Instruct the pupils In piano, pipe organ and vocal music, and also in theory and in harmony. As so many of the children come to us weak, awkward and poorly devel oped, we find it very beneficial to give them careiul and systematic physical training, for a strong, wholesome and well developed body is the prim re quisite in a successful developemenl of the intellect. A physical culture teach er is, therefore employea, and com bines with this physical training the art of correct reading or elecution. All children of school age who are totally or partially blind and who can not receive an education in the ordin ary schools are entitled to a scholar ship in this school. If you have a child with defective vision, it is your privi lege to take advantage of the oppor tunities this school freeiy offers. If desired, further information will be furnished by the superintendent. NATURE'S WARNING Johnson City People Must Rec ognize and Heed it. Kidney ills comn mysteriously. I!ut nature always warns you.

EXPEMEICE ARE LOST IN THE MOUNTHINS Lie FEARS EXPRESSED Search Parties Failed to Locate the Missing and Much Uneasi ness Was Felt by Retatives What might have proved a fatal ex perience, occurred on August 2"d to two well known visitors at Roan Mountain, Tenn. Mr. Hush, of Fay etteville, N. C., and Mr. McCulIough, the well known timber man, of Bruns wick, Oa., lost their way in the moun tains and caused great uneasiness to their numerous friends and acquaint ances. Search parties failed to locate the missing men and the liviliest fears were expressed for their safety. Starting in the early morning and tempted by the beauty of the surround ing scenery, the two gentlemeu passed ridge after ridge heedless of direction, and after traversing a considerable dis- lance, awoke to the realization that they were lost in the primeval mag nificence, of the mountains. After making fruitless efforts to retrace their steps they decided to descend to the level of the nearest creek and by fol lowing its course, gain one of the larger rivers and thus resume contact with civilization. A toilsome and danger ous desceut only added to their diffi culties. So thickly lined with under growth was the course of the stream that it was impossible to follow its bank, and steep precipices and deep ravines intervened to bur their course. Yawning chasms turned the direction of their footsteps and frequently forced them to abandon the level of the stream for the summit of some neighboring peak and the windings of the torrent added considerably to the difficulties of the situation. Convinced that it would be impossi ble to follow their oiiginal plan, they directed their steps once mure to the higher ground, and mounting the nearest ridge, determined to ascend to the loftiest summit and survey the scene for traces ( f human habitation. With incredible exertions they grad ually mounted the heights, now' de touringto encompass some threa ten precipice and again turning to avoid a deep abyss. The awesome silence and changeless mystery of the wilds, entered the spirit of the errant travelers ar.d filled them with a sense of indescribable loneliness and abandonment.

'mm sudden halt, and the near presence of this dread terror of the mountains, brought more clearly to their senses, the realization of how far they had strayed from the haunts of men. The imperative call for continued move' ment however, overpowered their in terestin the w ildcat of the woods and casting all fears aside they continued their arduous march. Still ascending they now gained that semi-desolate region of the higher alii tudes where the stunted balsam masks the deep crevasse and the wild grandeur of nature emphasizes the miracle of of the universe. A mile in the air, in the eerie silence of the hills, the travel ers were subdued into silence by the by the majesty of their surroundings, and struggling onward, they slowly attained the summit. A panorama of countless peaks stretched before their eyes graduating by perspective from the mighty crest in the foreground to the dim and hazy outline in the van ishing distance. Battling against the strong wind encountered at that ele vated altitude, the explorers eagerly scanned the horizon for signs of hu man habition, but no sign of civiliza tion presented itself to their anxious gaze. At the point of despair, foot sore and weary from the lack of food, they abandoned themselves for a mo ment to the terrors of their situation, but again scanning the forest-clad val ley; the practiced eye of Mr. Collough detected evidences of a clearing which suggested the possible presence of a lumber camp. . Resolved to investigate this avenue of escape from their em- barrasing position, the pedestrians shook oft' their fatigue and commenced the descent. Stumbling forward, al ternately climbing and descending, slipping over smooth rocks, grappling with the dense growth of rhododen dron and acacia, the foot of the inoun- was at last slowly and painfully reach ed. Here the setting sun reminded the travellers thai darkness would soon set in, and though faint with fa tigue, this new danger spurred them to further exertion. Compelled at each step to part tne struggling branches of the thick un dergrowth, their progress was slow and fatiguing in the extreme, but with mutual expressions of encouragement, the now thoroughly exhausted toilers continued their torturing journey, hardly daring to confess their individ ual fears and growing alarm. An ac cident to one of the party completed the discomfort and peril, but stagger ing painfully onward, bleeding, blind ed by fatigue and suffering for want of sustenance, they traversed the dense valley. Compelled a hundred times to wade the waters of the creek, tramp ling over briars and ferns, floundering through bog and morass, almost blind to their surroundings, they finally emerged at the sought for clearing and finding an isolated dwelling, were quickly succored by the hospitable inhabitants. After procuring refreshments a guide was obtained and the errant ones were restored at a lale hour to their anxious and expectant families. Prolonging Life.

City National Bank I HISTORY OF THE CONVENTION Sketch of the Annual Gather ing of the People Konwn As Disciples of Christ MANY THOUSAND WILL ATTEND Meeting at Louisville This October Wilt Be One of Unusual Interest Is a "Home-Coming" to Historic Scenes. The people known as Christians or Disciples of Christ first appeared as a distinct people in America In the early part of the nineteenth century. They sprang up almost simultaneously In various parts of tho country and in various denominations.- A Rev. James O'Kelly, a member of the Methodist Episcopal General Conference, of Virginia, severed connections with his church over doctrinal points, and about the same time in 1880 Itev. Abner Jones, a Baptist minister of Vermont, separated himself from his church affiliations, holding about the same views. Barton W. Stone, of Lex ington, Ky., .a Presbyterian minister, embraced the same viewB in 1803. The real starting point, however, is generally regarded by the followers of this movement to be In 18C3, when Thomas Campbell, a Presbyterian min ister, of Washington, Penn., issued what is commonly known as the "Declaration and Address," in which he ably set forth the doctrines and practices which have been since that day the common faith of that people and which la usually referred to by them as "our plea." For a number of years this new band of religionists whose plea was for Christian union seemed to have contributed to much the opposite cause. Many stirring debates were held and partisan feeling among church people was extremely strong. With the coming of a broader con ception of religious Ideas and service, however, among all the churches, this communion finally won a place for itself, until it to-Jay ranks fourth among the Protestant bodies of the Anglo-Saxon race in America, and sixth among all religious peoples. It Is far In advance, numerically, of any other American-born religious denom ination. The organization and government is congregational In form, and no higher human authority is recognized. As they have been active along all lines of cljurch work, buch as home and' foreign missions, boards have been or ganized to handle the business con nected with these various Interests. For many years these boards have held annual conventions simultaneous ly and at the same place, and this gathering is called "The International Convention of the Disclples'of Christ."' The first of these was held In Cincin nati In 1849. For many years these were attend ed by only those who were personally connected with the work of tho vari ous boards. The first convention that ttracted' what might be termed a large number of people was at Indian apolis in 1897. Since that time the attendance has teen so great that it is recognized as one of the most notable gatherings of religious people in the United States. Three years ago the convention was , held at Pittsburg. This was called the Jubilee Convention, being the one hun dredth anniversary of the "Declaration and Address." About fifty thousand people Journeyed to Pittsburg to at tend this celebration. This convention will be held this year In Louisville, Ky., October 15-22. It is expected that more than twenty thousand Disciples will be in attend ance. Watch babies bowels till the frosts c( me. Dr. Fahmey's Teething Syrup. 25 its. Sample free. ACCOUNT
