slble only by the foundation of a so-
ciety of nations whose guiding princi-
ple shall lie the settlement of differ-

lengthy discussion and says:
“The society shall lie based upon the
right of nations, great and small, to

“To insure lasting |ieaee in the fu-

of war or revenge. It shall consecrate
the right of |ienplcs to dis|tosc of their

having recourse to forcible annexation,
shall safeguard the world against fur-

Flnallv. the congress, taking note of
declarations, made by the entente
statesmen expresses hope that to give
the world an earnest of their designs,
the allied governments will decide to
submit all their eventual conflicts to
arbitration and form n federation
among themselves as the first outline
of a future society of nations, welcom-
ing the adhesion thereto of all states,
small and great, who remained outside
the struggle, who shall bind themselves
to observe the conditions of the pact
and guarantee the rights of each by the

It is always a matter of public in-
terest to know who shall (serve In the
official capacities. On next Tuesday
there will lie a county, state and
ttpual election. In Grayson county
there Is no 'location hut that the dem-
ocratic nominees will lie elected and
the only thing that there is any ques-
tion about is the also of the majority.
If every democrat In the county will
get out and do his duty the majority
will he large and every democrat
should vote.
Now. hack to the (qienlng sugges-
tion. While no official announcement
can he made, a Democrat representa-
tive Is going to hazard a prophecy, bas-
ed on semi-official Information ns to
who Is going to serve in the sheriffs
office after the election.
Tom Roberts, the democratic nomi-
nee. is going to lie elected by one of
the biggest majorities ever given any
candidate for office In Grayson county.
The following, according to rcjsirt,
will serve under Mr. ftolierts;
Brack Raines, office deputy.
Sam McAfee, jallpr.
A. B, Barton, assistant jailer.
Frank Kidd, court deputy.
Ban Itolicrts and Bud Hogan, riding
deputies.
i>. Burris, deputy sheriff at Deni-
son.
Ail are well known, competent and
worthy men. and If the "guess” pans
out. the public will lie assured of first
class servhe. Brack Rallies, who Is
said to lie scheduled for office deputy.
Is at present tax assessor of Grayson
county, and a highly efficient (ffiico
man; Sam McAfee lias lieen a peace
officer for a quarter of a century, hav-
ing served as county Jailer, chief of
fail ice* in Sherman and ns a deputy
sheriff; A. B. Part on Is a farmer anil
stock man and will no doubt make Mr.
McAfee an able assistant: Han Roberts
and Bud Hogan have both bail experi-
ence as peace officers hikI are highly
competent men. Mr. Hogan once serv-
ed as county jailer: I>. Burris is one
of the most ollieient jieace officers In
tlie county, having served as a deputy
sheriff and also on tin- police force in
Denison and as constable of that pre-
cinct.
The men who are now serving the
people of Grayson county wHI soon
scatter into other occupations and
callings. Sheriff Lee Simmons will
again engage in (lie mule business and
will take with him Arthur O'Mar,v.
v ho.wlll have charge of Mr. Simmons’
large farm south of Sherman.
Lloyd Ktehlson has already resigned
and gone to work nt the American
Bunk A Trust Company in Sherman.
Henry DeSpaln, it is stated, will en-
gage In the saw mill business at Trini-
dad. sixty miles lielow Dallas.
Vernon McCauley is a first class
carpenter and a successful contractor,
and if something that suits him does
not turn np he always has his trade
to fall hack on.
Ross Stark, present jailer, talks of
engaging In me grocery business and
getting wlint he can out of the high
cost of living. Ross has a pretty good
farm and fc* frugal and Industrious
mid is amply able to take care of
himself, if he does not engage in bus-
iness for himself the firm that gets
him will lie lucky, for Ross Is a stick-
ler for attending to business.
Tom Hays, assistant. Is playing the
glad game again. Recently he got Ills
Idg Tioga farm hack and although It
cast him a clean thousand slmoleons to
do It. he is glad that It was no worse,
mid lie Is a dandy dealer in cattle, If
ho doesn’t strike something that suits
him.
Boyd Craig, who has made one of
flic l>est deputy sheriffs Grayson comi-
ty has ever known, nnd who ts plenty
Mg’to lie sheriff some day. will not la-
out of employment long. It was stat-
i-fl today that already several corpor-
ations are after him for specclal work.
Tom L. Tennlsoif.' who Iihs been an
efficient office deputy, already 1ms sev-
eral months of his forthcoming time
taken mi settling bankrupt troubles in
the capacity of receiver and trustee,
mid will not have to go far for a job.
for he Is a highly eomiietent man. He
Is another man that Is plenty big
enough to he sheriff and no doubt will
again lie hoard on the hustings.

Big “Dry” Parade in I/m Angeles.
Richmond. Ya., Nov. 3. -The < p
hundredth anniversary of the birth
of Jubal A. Early, one of the leading
officers of tin- Confederacy, is to be
generally observed by the historical
and liatrlotle societies througUOftte the
South today. More es|ieclally is the
centenary to la- otiM-rvod in Franktlu
county, this state, where Geni. Early
was born Nov. 3, 1846, and in Lynch-
burg, in which city he resided for rnuny
years and where he died March 111804.
General Early was one of the\»ost
picturesque figure* among the Civil
War commanders. General I/ee was in
tiie habit of call I ug him “his had old
maii.” The designation was apropos
to the picture of a commander ‘ who
garnished his sjieeeh with highly forc-
ible language, dressed In the careless
fashion of a stage driver, ami who was
famous for his hard direct blows in
battle.
A graduate of the United Slates Mil-
itary Academy in the class of 1837,
General Early saw his first service in
the Florida War of 1837-8. In the lat-
ter year he resigned Ids commission In
the array to hegtu the practice of law
In Virginia. He served in the legisla-
ture of his native state, and after-
wards as commonwealth attorney. Dur-
ing the Mexican War he was major in
a regiment of Virginia volunteers. Af-
ter the campaign he returned to his
law practice in Virginia.
At the beginning of the Civil War
he entered the Confederate service as
a colonel. He commanded a brigade
at the battle of Bull Run. ami at the
battle of Williamsburg, May 5, 1862.
he was snpjHised to be mortally wound-
ed. Under '‘Stonewall” Jackson he
took an active part in the engagement
at Cedar Run in August of the same
year, and again at the second battle at
Bull Run. He was promoted brigadier-
general In May. 1863, and commanded
the division that held the lines nt
Fredericksburg, while Iz-e whs fighting
the battle of Chaacellorsville. Again
at Gettysburg General Early was In
the thick of the gray, his division lieing
selected to stern! the ridge. He suc-
ceeded In capturing the first line of
breastworks, hut was driven back by
the weight of numbers.
In the operations west of the Blue
Ridge in June, 186$.' it lieeame neces-
sary for General Lee to detach a con-
siderable portion of his force to meet
ami overthrow the Federal comman-
der Hunter, who was moving up the
SbenandoshValley. General Early was
selected for this purpose. He lmd lat-
terly commanded Ewell’s corps, and
with the greater itortion of tills he
moved rapidly to Lynchburg. On July
3, 1864, he approached Martlnhurg, ac-
compaiih-d by a cavalry force under
Ransom. The Federate forces retreat-
ed and took up a position Ht Mouocaey
Bridge. The Federate held the east
hank (if the river, and wore drawn np
along the railroad. General Early,
having crossed the river, sent forwad
a higade to develop the Fedeal strength.
In the engagement that followed the
Federate lost nearly 2000 in killed,
wounded ami captured.
Flushed with succexs. Early moved
on Washington, reaching Rockville on
the evening of July 10. He was now
within siglit of the capitol, and the fire
of his skirmishers was heard at the
White House. The toiling march, how-
ever had depleted ills army. The 500
miles if incessant advance at 20 miles
a day left him only 8000 infantry,
utemt 40 field-pieces and 2000 cavalry,
with which to assault the works around
Washington. On July 12 a severe
skirmish occurred in front of Fort
Stevens, but General Early failed to
follow It up by a decisive blow.
At the end of July a portion of his
cavalry advanced into Pennsylvania as
far as Chambershurg. On September
19, 1864. his army was defeated by
Sheridan. Early then retreated to
Fisher’s Hill, where he was again de-
feated by Sheridan with the loss of
a large part of his army. Then came
the great disaster at Cedar Creek,
which virtually closed the campaign
in the valley and brought General
Earley’s military career to an end.
After the war General Early spent
some time in Europe, and on his re-
turn resumed the practice of law in
Richmond. He subsequently took up
his residence in New Orleans and di-
vided ills time between that city and
Lynchburg. For a number of years
he was president of the Southern His-
torical Society. He was the author of
a pamphlet entitled. “A Memoir of the
Last Years of tiie War for Indepen-
dence in the Confederate States.”

concern to the federal reserve system,
is the exteilsive resort to the use of
