Special to The TVnnessean.) COLUMBIA. Aug. 11. Middle Ten. ncsseo farmers In convention' assembled here todny adopted resolutions expressing loyalty" to the institutions of America, deprecating class appeal, declaring belief in the (ownership of private property and petitioning more generous appropriations by the state legislature for better cduca tlon.

"The farmers are continuing their best efforts," said the resolution, "to produce under conditions that would appall less resolute men, and they demand "of both labor and capital that they, toor shall earnestly speed up their part of the pro duction so urgenuy neeueu. "The drift of population from country to city is not only a menace to the future food production of the nation', but It Is tot-ay the most momentous Issue before the nubile." That this tendency may be checked, the resolution invoked the farmers to. petition the appointment by the next legislature of a commission composed of farmers and farm experts to investigate and report on such legislation as may be necessary to encourage the ownership of farms and to develope the, rural life. James K. Caldwell Speakn.

James K. Caldrfeil, of the Fourth First National Bank of Nashville, addressed the convention Wednesday afternoon. "I nretend to be a farmer," said Mr, Caldwell, "though I follow the banking business as. a means of livelihood. I count farming a more important nnd a more worthr work, however, and I enjoy it much more than banking.

"What wo are hero to talk about lies at the bottom of everything worth wane," lie declared. Then launching into a speech on the relations of the furiner and the banker, be said: "Money Is nothing but stored up work and getting hold pf it by any short cut is not to be encouraged. There Is no royal road to wealth. Everybody at thla time seems to be trying to shirk work, yet work is the only thing the world which gives people any permanent satisfaction." Mr. Caldwell pnuBedvlong enough to tell his audience that he had shocked wheat at a dollar a day.

Ho told them adversity was a stepping stone to success. "If a man don't like to see dirt fall over the wring of a plow, he is not worth living. And three good mules and a plow can't be beat," be added. These statements coming In rapid sucri cession, as they did, brought forth a burst' of applause. "Everyone seems to he dissatisfied," he continued'.

"Because they can get in an automobile aud ride so fust these days, they think they shouldn't do anything else. Talk about hard times and poor state of affairs, why this is a naradtso to what con ditions were in reconstruction dtfy follow ing the Cvil War! "Our Anglo-Saxon forefathers lived on hardships and thrived ou them. And we can do it again when It becomes necessary without goiug to the dogs. Have. Confident.

"Have confidence In yourselves nud youc financial problems will be solved," he told his hearers. man must have industry and integrity and ho can get his credit any time he wants It. If he's got tan on his fucc and corns on his hands, that will go a long way towards getting credit at the bank." lu closing Mr. Caldwell came out stroog in his speech for a system that would provide a demonstration farm lor every County of Tenuessce, which, he said, would be of untold benefit, not only to the farmers, but for the public welfare. Dr.

"Great battles are to be waged In time of peace as in times ot'war," began Pres ident Morgan.

They are universal education, universal in terest in food, shelter, raiment: economic Justice and living according to the law of God. "Universal education must become the adopted program of every citizen.

The problem of elementary education Is one of the most serious filiations of tho day. Poorly paid and Inefficient teachers will inevitably have their effect upon the third aud fourth genera Hons of our children." CARAWAY BEATS KIRBY FOR ARKANSAS SENATOR (Hy AHXiielilteri Prctts.)
