insurance. "
In England they speak- of it as
t - .
assurance lint insurance or a.-.sar-
ance, '''the idea. expressed js one of
the main" objects' 'of intelligent ' life
and social organizatioo.
.Human society is an, ' invention
evolved, and pcrfcctedWhrough the
Tges. by. mankind for the purpose of
giving its .members insurance, or as
surance against misfortunes and pro
vision for needs. There is no human
service that makes va Istronger ap
peal to' the mind that rl rational and
ma'turc.- . ,
Insurance of property is in eco
nomic problem, a business. It is much-
mere.' Insurance is in the mam
founded on the qualities' of human
mind and heart which make, civilized
society possible.
For it is the man who is willing to
make sacrifice for others and who
haA. intelligence and self-control
jTgh to seek provision for mistor-
tune who makes civmzeu , solicit
possible. ,
Insurance will spread with the
spread of popular intelligence. It is
one of the chief factors in American
prosperity and well-being and its im
portance is steadily increasing, u is
a business, but it is also and above
all. service. It has been built up by
private initiative and enterprise.

I will trv to write a few lines from
Meadow Farm to inform you all that

to hear of the great enterprise that
is on hand at Franklin. I know It
has the approval of all the good citi-
zens or Macon ouiuy, I"; ""l
county in the State, if it succeeds in
carrying it out. The power dam and
cotton mill, if built, will save dear old
Macon and bring back our boys and
girls that we, love. If I' could sell
what I have' I woufd take it in stock
in the enterprise. On this or some
thing like it rests the destiny of; our
dear old county. ''..'...
Tt is not hard to see by a visit to
the Farm Federation, to see how Mr.
Porter is getting along, and that it .is
coin? to be a success. I never did
more earnest work-for anything' than
I'did for the Farm Federation, and I
hope every good man in Macon, will
stand by our good board of . directors
nd the good manager and give it our
hearty support. . .

This' is no' land of dopey dreams
But a land of hills and streams
Where the honest men are busy
night and day, ' ..
Let . the knockers steal and lie
Let them pine "away and die,
Here is where we want to "ing this
eyeiting lay :
' CHORUS. : '
Land, land, land of mighty mountains,
Land where God has kissed the sky,
Here's the Little Tennessee
Flowing onward to.the sea, -
Waiting for development by andby.
Let us dig deep if we must.'
Let us build that dam or bust,
Le usall now turn our pockets h
sidj? out,
Let mTbuiid a cotton mill,
At the foot .of Rogers hill,
Then you'll hear old Franklin give
a mighty shout.
Let the knockers 'rave and howl, '
JV k .llv.ll iw.l., umi
Let them split their pants wulc
open at the band,
Underneath' the starry Flag,
Civilize them with a Krag,
We can get along without them in
, this land.
Macon County is the best,
Nevviet's put her to the test,
Take a thousand or a hundred, dol
Jar share,
We must do our bit to-day
Or the outside world will say
Macon County is asleep and doesn't
care.
CHORUS. , '
Every man must do his durndest
We will not remain asleep,
This fair county near the sky
Is not rejdy yet to die,
HuiulrW fold in good old dollars
we will reap.
If they junk the T. F. Road,
Cannot s'ell our acid wood,
'Neither can we sell a cross tic or
a pole. , ' ;
So it's mighty plain to see( .
We must dam the Tennessee, . ,
Make' a market for our produce as
a whole.
CHORUS.
Dam, dam, dam, we have a dam site',
Back the water to the bridge,
Then' the wheels will spin and roar,
Dollars how in by 'the score,
Houses will be built on each and
every ridge.
Lee Barnard's; a mighty man,
Bestest talker in this land,
Though some tell us he is awful

But the 'winds that blow today,
They will drive our cares away,
If we stick to Lee Barnard through
thick and thin.
Sam L, Rogers with his pen
Counted a hundred million men,
But he- counted mighty few in

Now we think it's up to him .,
Here to count ten thousand men,
.Up to now eight hundred ' souls
a could not be found.
Hunnicutt's a dreamy man, ,
So we hear on every hand, 4.
But we ask you who's made history
in the past '..''
Read your history through and
. through
And you'll find that dreamers do
Every, thing that , stands as long as
time w.ill last.
CHORUS. .
Dam, dam, dam, -we-have a dam site,
Hunnicutt is doing fine,
Let us wish him all success,
Let us give him of our best,
. Let us help him, all we can at any
time. ; ; '
Mr. Crawford has the mon,
Saysit's hard to get, by gum,
He . is willing,-so we think, to rob

not a Grank.

Used to revenue around,
Till the. whiskey makers put him
