The prayerful yearnings of 60 Jew ish generations for the return' of the Children-of Israel to their, soil and the rebuilding of ' the waste - places in the Holy' Land was re-echoed on this occasion. The worshippers will be transported from the ; realm of realities and the hard facts of every-, day life to the prdnused , land for which their souls" have yearned since their exile. " To give concrete ex pression -to their longing which fills their prayers, the Jews, on the threshold of the new year, were giv en an opportunity to translate their wishes -in acts. They were asked to contribute liberally to the Palestine Foundation fund, the national , fund aiming at the gradual rebuilding of the Jewish homeland. The plan of the "Keren Hayesod" is one of great scope. It seeks to supplement the work undertaken by the Palestine administration, - which governs the country on behalf of the British government as the manda tory for Palestine.; While the Pales tine administration "activities are in tended to benefit the entire popula tion of 800,000 Jews, Christians and Arabs, the Zionist . organization, which is to administer the Palestine Foundation fund on behalf of the Jewish people, also contemplates its activities so as to beneit the entire populationvjewish as well as non- fey :- EDNEYVILLE TOWNSHlf- FAIR WILL BE HELD FRIDAY, OCT. 21 el , !.The secrewry ol fne iair nas re nnautaA thin Wner to urire all those 'interested in the fait to attend on the- above date, and all farmers and per sons are" urged to place their farm products, livestock, poultry, butter, fruit, etc., on exhibition.- The ladies are especially invited .'to place their fancy work on . exhibition.

In the course of events The Times, under its new management will (we say sorrowfully) doubtless draw resentment from some we hope few yet, we would FEAR to hope for none. "Where there are many men there will be many minds" and it is a strange perversity of human affairs that no man or institution ever achieved anything worth while without encoun tering resistance that often crystalizes into hardened enmity at some, points of contact and for such as we must have and which we willingly but sorrowfully accept, we will requite ourselves with' the, approval of conscience and the sympathy of the cause for which our bow was bent! Judge Shaw Hears Criminal Cases; Explains Intoxication Superior court for the trial of criminal cases convened Monday morning with Judge T. J. Shaw, of Greerisboropresiding, and Hon. G. D.

Osborne, of Mills River town ship, Was sworn as foreman. judge Shaw,-in his charge to the grand jury, explained to the "jurors their duty and .told them to perform it well. , He called attention, to vio lations of the prohibition laws, per jury and other violations of the criminaU law. ; , In" discussing the statute regulat-. ing the driving of automobiles Judge Shaw - dwelt at some length upon three phases of it. He urged the en forcement Of that' part' of ,; the law that forbids children under' sixteen years of age from driving. ; He stat ed that the law prohibits machines being driven by intoxicatedrpersons. Judge Shaw said for a man.to,be able to drive- an automobile he must have the full use 'of 'his - arms,: his legs ; and all his thinking faculties. If his arms refuse to act right, he is intoxicated too. much to undertake to drive-.; a car.' If ,his legB , refuse to obey, it matters not how clear his brain may be he is fn an Intoxicated condition in the eyes of. the law, and should not be allowed to drive a ma chine, on the public!;? highways; 'If his brain refuse to act he is intoxicat ed," it matters not how straight he ., .

Ten, fifteen, twen ty and twenty-live miles- per hour, In speaking of the automobile, Judge Shaw said there were many instances in which it was being used for immoral purposes. That men and women would, ride out to some se cluded spot, and turn out the lights, and one 'did not- have to raise the curtains to tell what was going on there, i. He warned against this evil. A large crowd was in attendance upon the court the .first day. The court room was jammed and stand ing room was at a premium. Immediately following the judges charge T . C.

General Pershing to Nash ville, will also be in the reviewine stand. The parade of the veterans, how ever, will form but a part of the full reunion program. Men who billeted in French villages or battle fields sheltered three years ago will find the homes of Nashville opened to them. Plans have been made to house and care for not less than 10,000 veterans and more if they should come. Convention sessions will be held in the auditorium, with a capacity of 7, 000. Dances and other social fea tures enough to give every man who comes fin opportunity to enjoy him self are being arranged for by the hosts of the occasion, the citizens of Nashville. Separate headquarters for each of the regiments of the division will be established in Nashville, and in the billeting arrangements it is planned, as far as possible, to put men out of the same outfits in the same section of the city. There will be all sorts of opportuni ties for old timers to get together and "fight the war" which started on the Mexican border for some, at r.amn Sevier for others, and ran all the way across the seas, over the Hindenburg line, through the Argon ne, into Belgium and Luxemburg and home again. In the course of its training and traveling and fighting no division in the American army made a more creditable showing than did the Caro lina and Tennessee troops. The achievement of the division in the first smashing through the so-called Hindenburg defense system at Belli court, across the St. Quentin Canal Tunnel, is one of the outstanding achievements of the entire war, while the artillery brigade, operating sep arately in the St. Mihiel, Argonne and Woevre sectors, took rank as one of the most effective artillejy outfits of the army. Reduced Railroad Rates Prtilmorlc have cranted a reduced rate of one and one-half fares for the round trip to members of the division association. Members plan-..' :. ning to attend may come to Nashville, paying the full fare, and there receive their certificates of membership en titling them to half fare on the e turn trip.
