do this? One thing is sure we cannot
go back to the old way before the
war and still have good money. A
new scheme must be devised, or the
State banks required to deposit the
same amount in the State treasury
as the National banks deposit in the
Natinal Treasury.
We believe that this would give us a
safe state currency, but do not see
any advantage this would be over the
present system. Our Representatives
should study this question and by
some means or other give Tennessee
a sound currency There are serious
objections can be raised to any state
money scheme, but let us study to
have the best if we are forced to have
any.

The Bar-Room Tragedy.

"A bloody tragedy was enacted In

hous yesterday morning. The fact

Journal bat none of the particulars
were obtainable owing to the late
nes4 of the hour.
IL Is but another temperance les

long list. When Journal repre-

the shooting came up could not be

ed that Jack West, his step-sOn
had come home badly shot. Sure
enough, Calico Bill was right, Jack
was shot and shot badly too.
The full particulars of the bloody
affair come out at the inquest,
which began a few minutes before
four O'clock.
Owing to the lateless of the hour,
Esquire Leahy had some difficulty
in finding a sufficient number ia
form the jury of inquest.
After the jury was made up they
took positions along the bar
with their backs to it, however.
s. J. Brewton, the night bartender,
was first examined. His testimony
! in substance was as follows: Rat
cliffe, Calico Bill and two or three
others were standing in front of the
bar. There was some loud talk,
and the fellow who got away (Jaek

stepped around the screen by the

reflection of the mirror that they

TENNESSEE'S ROAD LAW.
r. q. lowering.

1t is an evident fact that if roads
are to be built, the expense ought to
be borne by those who will be benefit
ed; and of those who are benefited by
the roads, they should pay most who
are benefited most.
Now all the citizens of this county
are benefited by our roads. Without
them we would lie sunk in prnnii
tive barbarism. Therefore everyone
should be willing to help make roads.
Property owners are most benefited,
because they use the roads most.
Therefore property should pay the
principal tax. In Blount County the
poll road tax is heavy and the property
road tax is light. 1t ought to be just
turned around. But the law allows
us to do a good deal better than we
do. We could make the poll tax
four days work-the lowest limit of
the law-and run the property tax up
to 25ct on the 800. 90, or as near that
as we wished Even then, we think
the poll tax would be to much. Two
days, or its equivalent, would be more
just.
Another thing against us is that the
tax is most of it payable in work, and
not in money. Give an overseer a
chance to hire work, and buy tools
and materials, such as he needs and
when he needs them, and he will haye
some show, but it is a discouraging
task to try to accomplish much with a
gang of hands, few of whom feel much
interest in the road and all of whom
have their own plans about when they
want to work the road and when they
don't. 1t not only goes hard with
the overseer, but also with the hands.
If man has business 10 attend to, it
often does not suit to be warned
| just any time. In most cases he could
make it work better to pay the mon
ey, and it would do much more good.
Much would be gained by giving
one man control of much larger dis
trict than is commonly done. Then
he could use more system. He could
receive enough compensation to justi-
fly his giving his whole time and at
tention to the work. He woulc have
opportunity to study the subject tho
roughly, and learn the art, for it is an
art.
A road district should be placed un
der control of the same man for sew.

be plan of work laid out, covering
more than one season, and if each
man holds the place one year, the neXt
man may branch off in another direct.
ion, and undo what the other has be

The law needs changing. To that
end let US instruct our representa-.
tives in the legislature. But We
can better things very much under
the law as it is. The trouble lies a:
much at our own doors as anywhere.
