TIE man who cuts this Gordian
knot, and sslvec this state debt ques-
ton, can 20 home with name TO grow
brighter and more honorable with
each day and year. Suppose he goes
home having voted against it. He is
at best but an ordinary man, undis-
tinguished by bold and manly policy,
an earnest effort on behalf of bis peo-
ple.- American, 9th.
That was undoubtedly the para
graph that caught Smiths eye, touched
his tickle bone of family pride, and de-
termined him to change his vote on
the 1908 bill. All other arguments
had failed to move his iron will. He
was of low takers the lowest,
and ordinarily would have stood
there and voted against the
bill until the expiration of the term
for which the constitution provides a
per diem of four dollars; that is to
say, until Thursday, the 9TH Of April.
But when he read that he could cut
the Gordian knot, the first time it has
been done since the early days of his
tory, and at the same time set up the
name Of Smith in Fentress county
above all the other Smiths
in the state, whether spelled
with an 'i' ora ~" he saw that the
time had come, the man and the hour
had met, it was now or never, it was
an Ephesian dome crisis in the Smith
family and he at once lit the torch
which will burn up the names of all
eotemporaneou or ancient Smiths,
and shed luster on the pathway of a
long ard illustrious line Of
Smiths, from Fentress even down
to the year 1880. when the state bonds
will fall due. Smith Of Fentress will
not go home undistinguished. BE
occupies a pedestal all to himself, an
uncontested position, a Folitude which
will rarely be broken, a fame which
mono will rival or contest. Smith is
one Of the distinguished men of the
age. His name appears to-day in
every daily paper In the
country. No pent up Utica
would hold it. Smith will be lauded
to the skies in some of the journals,
and will return to the bosom of his
low tax constituents with a pocket
book full of certificates of good char
aeter and barrels of double.leaded
complimentary notices. He no longer
belongs to the undistinguished herd
of Smiths who delve and dig and go
to milk aud marry and toll and die and
then 40 unheard Of and unnoticed to
the graveyard. A new light fell upon
the pathway of this Saul of the Smith
family, and straightwsy he was con-
Tinced Of the error Of his ways.

Was a mischicvOus rapper,
And soon walked the napper.
"Mr. Owl, don't you mind him;
With cobwebs Ill bind him.
And round and round wind him.
Thus spoke up the spider,
Strip'd like an outridcr;
The owl sharply eyed her,
Ana said: III he cheat you,
I'll not scOld OF beat you,
'lljust merely cat you"
The owl saw her spin
Her web, frail and thin,
Round the hell, out and in.
But, next Sunday morning,
without word of warming,
The bell went a.stOrming!
With a cling and a cl;lng.
With boom and L bang,
The old clappcr rang!
The owl didn't chidc her,
Rcbuke nor dcridc her,
But hc ate up that spider:
