Mr.. John White, of Hornbeak,
was here Tuesday, saying that the
citizens of Hornbeak had sub
scribed $40, 900 towards the Union
City and Reelfoot Lake railroad
and that he would get altogether
$25, 900 from Troy and Hornbeak
citizens for that purpose. If that
don't wake up the dormant energies
of our railroad men then there's
nothing to be done at this end of
the line. Mr. White is very much
in earnest concerning the road and
he says his citizens are anxious for
it. If the citizens of Union City
will raise subscription of $25, 900
the road can be built; if not then
we had just as we'll go about our
business without having to be
called to these measly little meet
ings with nothing doing. Gentle
men, if you want the road you've
got to pay for it--that's all there
is to it, and if you'll meet Mr..
White half way you can get it.
Lake County will give the balance
If citizens in Hornbeak
can afford to subscribe 81 900 each
there are men in Union City who
can take $4,000 of the stock. If
the road is valuable it is worth it;
if not, don't throw away cent on
it. 1t would be a waste of time
as we'll as money. But it is a good
scheme, SO every man says who
knows anything about such mat
ters, and Union City and Obion
County ought to have the road.
This is plain talk, but newspa-
pers are credited with so much hot
air we felt that it would come in
good taste.

and absolutely honest. His asso-
ciates must be men of the same
character. Without this sort of a
commission you can issue all the
bonds you want and exhaust every
means for making plans and still
the improvement of your public
highways will be a farce. Some
man who knows how to make a
good road in a country like this
and one who has the reputation
for making good roads under the
same circumstances must head that
commission or the good roads pro-
position, makes no difference how
the funds are secured, will not
amount to a hill of beans.
Various and sundry suggestions
have been offered for making good
roads in Obion County. Plans
have been tried, yet none have sue
ceeded and we still have bad roads
in the winter season. Expert
menting isn't worth a copper. 1t
would be a useless waste of money.
Somebody must know what he is
doing before a start is made, or
else we would advise the people of
Obion County to keep their money
in the treasury.
The bridge question is not so
complex. The steel bridges have
proven success, and as rapidly as
possible the counties are adopting
and constructing them. The first
cost is much greater than the old
style wooden bridges, but in the
end there is a vast saving of money
in their use.
The road question is the impor-
tant one and it would be confer

people of this country to solve it.

AN UNFORTUNATE SITUATION.

The American has no desire to
pose as carping critic. 1t has no
desire to injure the character of
any man. While it does not refuse
to condemn it much prefers to speak
in praise. While it is not a blind
partisan or party worshipper, it has
an honest interest in the welfare of
the Democratic party, and desires
to see it worthily succeed. 1t is not
improper, but hardly necessary, to
say that it has intense pride in and
love for Tennessee, as have many
thousands of Tennesseeans, and as
every citizen of the State should
have.
1t is with deep regret and a sense
of deep humiliation that we note
the present situation in Tennessee
the character of campaigns that
are being waged for the two high
est Offices within the gift of the
State. The contest for Senator is
far from being what it ought to be.
1t is far from what such campaigns
once were. 1T may be amusing and
in sense entertaining, but it lacks
something more to be desired. But
1T is muck less subject to criticism
than the contest for the Governor
ship. 1t is most unfortunate that
the State is being subjected to such
a display, such an outbreak of criti-
cism, of elimination and recrimina-
tion, of vituperation and personal
denunciation, as we are now having |
from the stump. 1t creates feel
ing of humiliation and resentment |
and profound regret that the con-
test is not conducted more in keep.

oBIoN COUNTY ROADS.

O04OH WYNN 4 1hOaD0s
The question of a 800, 600 bond issu
for the improvement of the publ
roads OF the county is now being agi
tated, and it is hoped by the friend
OF such proposition that the matte
will finally be left to a vote of the PEG
pie. The proposition has its friend
and its enemies. and when brough
before the people will be one of tn,
most holly contested elections eve
held in Obion County. The country
roads of Obion County are as good a,
the average, but they could be far bet
ter, and IL is thought by many that i
100000 can be spent on them thai
every one will be SO pleased with The
improvements that ether bond issues
will be made.
The above from Jonas Juttor
appeared in the Commercial Ap.
peal this week. An enabling act
was passed some time ago by the
Legislature investing the County
Court with authority to submit
this question to the people for rat
itication or rejection at the ballot
box. The court refused to
consider the question, and
it was for a time shelved. 1t
seems that people have a habit Of
forgetting the road question in
fair weather, and since the wretch
ed condition of the roads two years
ago it has been talked about very
little. The Commercial spoke of
the bond issue in favorable way
some time ago. Yet there are
some objections to creating large
fund for public improvements. 1t
offers too many temptations.
There is too great a tendency
among people aud good people
too (you could not afford to speak
of them otherwise) to look at the
public treasury rs an easy mark,
therefore to expect better pay,
much better, for labor and mate.
rial furnished the county, State, or
Government than they do from
private concerns. The proposition
of bond issue for 100000 or
more would prove great attrac-
ton to them. These reasons are,
however, not sufficient TO displace
the plan for public improvements.
But, in order to avoid these pit.
falls, could not ways and means be
devised whereby the work could.
be done in installments and the
funds to carry it on provided in
the same manner. 1t would be
almost impractical to make con-
tract embracing the entire county
in one job, CT, iu other words, to
secure labor in sufficient numbers
to operate in all the districts at
one time. 1t would be too great
an undertaking. Hence we sug-
gest as a better plan the construc-
ton of bridges and roads in in
stallments as the funds can be
spared from the county treasury.
We are not as we'll informed on
this subject as are some people;
but it seems to us more satisfac-
tory plan. In this way, of course,
there would be no bonds, and
hence no interest to pay, That
would be large saving alone.
1t makes no difference how the
funds are created, some system of
good roads would have to
be approved. With all this set
tied we have not yet reached the
most important feature, and that
is q commission composed of the
RICH, kind of men to direct and
Q, tae the work. The president
of the commission will have to be
