Mr.. Sherwood bemoans the dissen-

actions in this bridge-letting matter

years; but this ought to be war
rantable case for calling one"
Then came general demand from
all over the county for its calling. A
thousand taxpayers would have sign
ed had it been necessary to secure
that many. They wanted to know
why contracts had been let without
competition. and why their money
had been presented to pet bridge
company. The grand jury was call
ed. 1t was composed of representa-
tive citizens of all parts of the coun
ty. 1t presented a report in which
it said that the commissioners were
incompetent and negligent" anc
asked the states attorney to proceed
against them under Section 424 Of
the Code. This was done by the
states attorney. 1t now appeared
that finally the taxpayers of the

JUDGE L. E. DAVIS.

Judge l.. e. Davis is candidate
for reelection to the Office of Judge
of Benton County, subject to the
action of the Democratic party,
and it is with pleasure we present
his candidacy to the Democratic
voters of the county.
Judge Davis needs no introduce
ton to the people of the county,
for he has most ably and satisfac-
torily filled the Offices Of Justice
of the Peace, Chairman and Judge
of the County Court. Hewas elect
ed Justice of the Peace three times
by popular vote, and presided as
Chairman before the officeof j Judge
was created. He served one term
as County Judge, and is.now filling
out the unexpired term of W. L.
Morris, resigned.
When Judge Davis first took
charge Of the Office, the financial
condition of the county was any
thing but satisfactory, and war
rants were being bought by local
brokers as low as fifty cents on the
dollar. Business methods were
adopted in conducting the affairs
of the county, and warrants were
soon worth their face value. His
business methods, conservative
views, and logical advice at criti-
cal times, have saved the county
useless expense and did much to
promote the present era of good
government in Benton County.
In every relation of life the rec
ord of Judge Davis will bear the
closest scrutiny. AS an official, as
citizen, as a Christian, and as
Democrat, his life is without re-
proach. We point tohis record to
emphasize the fact that the public
favor has been we'll bestowed, and
that it's continuance, can be nc
mistake.

The people of Tennessee are in
debted to Senator James B. Frazier
for the work he has accomplished
in behalf of the Good Roads move
ment in this and other States OF
the South. Though in extremely
feeble health during the past win
ter and spring, and urged by his
family and physician to seek rest
and a change Of climate, Senator
Frazier remained in his seat in the
Senate during the regular and ex-
ira session Of Congress, which
adjourned only few weeks ago.
While he did no more than his
duty, such heroic action is COM
mendable and shows the spirit and
energy of the man Too many OF
our public officials affect to regard
their time as their own while hold
ing Office, but Senator Frazier has
never shown q disposition to shlrk
any of the duties that devolve upon
him as a public servant.

Since county politics has opened
up little it seems that an effort
has been made to couple the name
of Elmer Wick with the race for
Circuit Conrt Clerk. That gentle
man advises us that under no cir
cumstances will he be a candidate,
and says he is not in politics, Mr..
Wick isr not only one of our most
energetic and enterprising citizens
but his time is too much taken up
with business affairs to engage ia
local politics, even if SO inclined.

COUNTY LINE.

The drouth of several weeks has
been broken by a good rain, which
will benefit late corn, stock peas
and sorghum, of which there is
large acreage in this section, and
which suffered badly during the
dry weather. Late corn, especially,
was damaged at least rs per cent.
The timely rainfall will make a
marked improvement on all crops
where not too far advanced toward
maturity to be destroyed, by the,
drouth Chat is, late sorghum, mil
let, stock peas, sweet potatoes and
late crop Irish potatoes.)
There has been quite lot of
hay and fodder saved during the
dry weather. With several acres
of stock peas and millet, which was
sown late for hay, and which will
be benefited by the rain, there will
yet be a fine yield of hay per acre.
There are some crops of sor-
ghum now ripe, and there is a fall
ing below the average in number
of gallons per acre, but the quality
is good, and are selling readily at
40 cents per gallon at the mill.
We learn from James Wilson,
who runs stationary mill, located
in good shady grove, an ideal
place for the business, issprepar-
ing to make sorghum syrup. this
week.
Good sorghum syrup are fine
with corn bread, but better with
biscuit, even without BUTTER ,bu$
biscuits seem to be passing into
history in this part of the moral
vineyard. It will not be many
years until wheat bread will be
found only on the table of the man
of means, and the poor. man will
be forced to subsist on corn bread
with an occasional black biscuit
on Sunday morning.
If you do not relish the black
biscuits, you had better begin to
raise your supplies at home. Now

is. You need notebook to any 9th.
