In May 1917, a call came to all red-

tarism and to put as end to anarchy.
This call ' met with a. beautiful res
ponse :and the sons of America aror
to meet the challenge, ,' . '
In November, 1918,. the American
soldiers began to return home. . Many
of them returned with a. feeling ijhitt
their desires were gratified and that
their hopes were seahaed. ' 7 M
A strong reaction immediately
swept America. ( This reaction was in
favor of militarfcm. preparedness
was the topic of the dayv ; New units
and greater units of Reserve Officers
Training Corps were established. One
oft the most evil phases of miUtariam
in the ynited States is found in the
vigorous efforts now being made to
extend military training in education
al institutions. The Waf Department
is avowedly seeking to plant units ht
R. 0. T7C. in every college of the
country. In December 1926, the War
Department issued a public statement
to the effect that it "stands squarely
in favor of military training for the'
greatest possible, number of students,
Considering available personnel, funds
and equipment.".
During: the school year 1924-26,
military Instruction was given more
than 226. educational institutions in

was organized for the sole purpose
of -promoting vocal music. Instru

and if a choir uses an instrument it
forfeits its right to win a prize. It
was this ruling, we understand, pre

ning the prize, though thier singing
was said to be the best. Dr. W. A.

Calvin R. Edney, Republican nom
inee for Representative, has inst re
turned from a week's visit to Raleisrh.
Mr. Edney was in conference with
Mr.-Ames, chief assistant to Mr.
Page and Commissioner in charge of
highways during Mr. Page's illness.
Mr. Edney received the assurance
from the office of the Highway Commission,:-that
the people of Madison
would get their part of the next
State appropriation for road building.
Mr. Ames said that Madison County
had "been good" to the Highway
Commission and the ' Commission
would threfore . remember . Madison
County. Mr. Edney was assured by
Commissioner' Ames that the High
way would do whatever it could in
accordance with the general plan to
bring into completion the road pro
jects desired and needed in1 Madison
County. . ' i ' !
Mr. J&lney interviewed also Mr. A;
to learn from this interview that the
Superintendent was highly in favor
of a State Equalization Fund, which
wouldvgive- each and every county
eight Months .school, and at a less
cost to the taxpayers in poor counties
like Madison. A state-wide state-supported
system of schools, giving every
child an equal chance is the desire
closest to . Mr. Edney's heart He
was greatly pleased to know the State
Superintendent favored it.

Mr. Edney had occasion to attend the

After dinner the people gathered
on th6 other side of the road, where
speaking was wont to be heard. Aft
a short speech by Mr. Ebbs, he call
ed on Rev. R. H. Hipps, who again
spoke of what the people' of those
two counties had undergone in the
past because 4t a lack of transpor
tation facilities and how the road
had been made possible. - Senator
Plato Ebbs of Asheville was then call,
ed on and spoke for some time on
the part that he and others had taken
in securing the, proper legislation to
obtain this road, how he had fought
for it against opposition and difficul
ties and how he rejoiced at its ac
complishment. M'.' Ellw C. Jones, recent defeated
candidate for solicitor, was then call

were departing for their homes
