COUNTY AND CITY BONDS.

Nashville has about reached iti
debt limit of ten per cent Of its as
sessed valuation. Maury county's
debt is less than 100000 on an as
sessment Of $12O0O,O00. In other
words the debt of this county is but
one-sixth Of the usual limit OF ten per
cent of the assessed valuation. One
would from this statement imagine
that Maury county could obtain money
at much easier terms and upon a
much lower rate of interest than the
city of Nashville. The contrary is
true.
! Nashville can float bonds at four
per cent and has sold them at an even
less rate, while the recent experience
OF this county has demonstrated that
Maury county cannot borrow money at
much less rate Of interest than four
and one-half per cent. This Is an
anomalous situation. but it is explained
by the bond dealers as follows:
The savings banks OF the New Eng |
land States and Of the East are the |
heaviest buyers of bonds issued by
cities and States. The savings banks
of New York State owns millions of
municipal bonds. The laws OF that
State and Of the New England States
authorize investments in
the bonds Of certain municipalities.
The same provision is not made with
respect to the bonds Of counties.
Hence the average county bond espe-
cially of the South is not known in
he great bond markets of the coun-
ry
A Nashville or a Louisville bond is
Inown in any bank in the country.
{ is good as collateral at its face
'alue without any investigation. For
hat reason it is just rs available for
apital as actual currency would be.
IN the other hand the bonds Of coun- q
les not having fixed market value,
ut being more or less under suspicion p
ecause of the fact that many coun- G
les in the South have been forced to u
epudiate bonds issued at the instance p
promoters, are not readily market y
BILE or convertible into cash. These IA
/ brief are the reasons why munich N
al bonds are preferred to county u
onds. pl

II every man in Maury county who
is given to learned disquisitions on
the road question should submit in
writing his views to our Representa-
tives the latter would be kept busy
for the next month reading them and
they would be fairly swamped in con-
fused mass Of different solutions that
would be suggested. For the road
question is one of the public matters
about which every man has well
developed opinion and a half dozen
more OF less valuable suggestions.
The man who does not in theory or
perhaps 1t would be better to say in
his own estimation, know all about
the road problem is rare bird indeed.

A DEMOCRATIC MOVEMENT.

Although the machine Will doubtless
attempt to read out Of the Democratic
lparty all who Signed the address OF
the State-widers to the people 1t win
be q mighty din1cult matter to con-
vince any intelligent being that these
men are not true Democrats. In East
Tennessee such men as r. II. L.
Mountcastle and George p. Lindsey
have subscribed their names. The
former is the Tennessee member OF the
National Democratic Committee. hav.
ing been twice elected to that post
ton. The latter is County Judge OF
Roane county and q Democrat who
never scratched ticket.
In Middle Tennessee among those
signing the address are Democrats
like Luke Lea and George H. Armi-
stead and N. H. White and James J.
Bean and James A. Smiser and Jonas
T. Amis, all of whom have served the
Democratic party long and in posi-
tons OF high responsibility. Lea was
a delegate to the recent Democratic
National convention and Smiser is the
present Chairman of the Democratic
Committee of the fifth largest county
in the State.
What has been said of the character
Of the Democracy of those mentioned
above can also be said Of the Demo
Gratis who sign on behalf of the peo-
Pile of West Tennessee. Judge e. L.
Bullock, Judge Everett, Seid Waddell,
Bate Bond and 0. c. Barton have all
held high places in the councils OF
heir party and their Democracy has
never been impugned. Despite all
hese facts, however, we shall expect
o hear the Schwab magaphone at
and the Jack Daniel hand
ills over the State solemnly read
hem out of the party Of their fathers.

The ROAD PROBLEM.

One Of the most important, perhaps
the most important, matter that will
engage the attention of the County
Court next Monday viii be the road
law. There is pending before the
court a motion TO memorable the Leg
islature TO repeal the special Law for
this county and leave the county I'M
der the provisions Of the general road
law. The advocates of this motion
are active and are making an aggres-
sive fight although It is probable that
Il they were more thoroughly In
formed as to the provisions of the act
they seek to obtain they would be less
anxious to make the change.
1t will not be contended that the
present system OF working roads in
this county is ideal or that 1t is not
susceptible of decided Improvement.
At the same time we do not hesitate
to express the opinion that it Is an
Infinitely better system than the coun-
ty would have If it should go back to
the old plan 1t is the testimony Of
those who are in position to know
that more and better work has been
done on the roads of the county dur
ing the past year than has been done
during any one year in the past twen-
ty.
The records show that more money
has been spent on the roads during
the past year than perhaps during
any former year. 1t will not be in
sisted that all Of this money has been
spent to the best advantage, but Il is
not probable that any considerable
portion Of it has been wasted. 1t will {
be recalled that the Grand Jury re- I
Gently made an investigation Of the t
work done by the Work House hands t
and that the report made by that
body was decidedly complimentary Of S
the present system. o
The old plan, that which Is pursued d
IN counties to which the general law {;
applies, Of working the roads altogeth- u
sr by warning in the hands" has new. b
Dr been a success and It never will be. Al
While the roads have been repaired CT
10 permanent Improvement has ever pl
,een made. But the work or much Of CT
anyway, that has been done ON the m
Dads in Maury county during the past OF
ear will be Of lasting benefit. m
It Is to be hoped therefore that the tn
Justices will be content TO retain the m
resent law and advocate such changes tr
s will be necessary to make 1t more VI
nicient and economical ANY move bi
rent having for its purpose the nj
or repeal Of the law and m'

Justice was outraged again when
the jury failed to convict Hargis, the
Kentucky patricide. There was no
doubt OF the guilt Of this degenerate.
The facts were plain and generally
undisputed and 1t is difficult to see
how a Jury could do otherwise than
convict him. But the Hargis case 10
not different from many others. AS
long as jurors cannot be secured who
will do their duty preachments and
editorials and lectures about law en-
forcement will have little terror for

sEcaETARY WILSON.

SECRETARY WILSON.
: Il is gratifying to know that the
Hon. James Wilson. Secretary Of Az
riculture, is to be reappointed BY Pres
ldent Taft Secretary Wilson has
been at the head Of the Department
Of Agriculture for twelve years. hav-
ing been appointed in 1897 by Presi-
dent Mckinley. This is the only cab
met place that has been held by the
same person during the seven and one
half years Of the Roosevelt incumben-
cy. With the exception of William
Writ, who served for eleven years as
Attorney General OF the United States,
Secretary Wilson has served continu-
ously longer in the cabinet Of the
President than any other man in the
history Of our government
In this connection It is worthy Of
note that but one President Of the
United States kept his cabinet intact
from the beginning to the end of his
administration. There were no !
changes In the cabinet Of President
Franklin Pierce. But there were few
sr cabinet places in those days than
there are now and the statesmen OF
the earlier days Of the Republic fire.
quently resigned from the Senate to
accept Cabinet positions. The reverse
of this is true now. While Senator
Knox will resign to become a member
of the cabinet OF the next President
Root prefers a seat In the
Senate to his present post as premier
and likewise Congressman Burton has :
declined a portfolio in order that he
may make the race for the Senate.
The Office of Secretary of Agricul-
lure is only little more than twenty
years old. having been created during
he closing years of the first Cleve- =
and administration. Prior to that
ime this position was merely bu-
eau of the department of the interior y
md the chief was a commissioner. *
ames Coleman, who became the first W
secretary of Agriculture, was the chief Hl
I the bureau at. the time Of his APP
continent lie was succeeded under al
harrison by jeremiah Rusk, OF Wis IL
ousin, who was in turn succeeded OS
nder the second Cleveland admins
alton by Sterling Morton, known as Ia
lie court jester" Nc
Secretary Wilson has therefore GU
,rved longer than the combined terms OF
his three predecessors. He has m'
one more for the advancement Of 81
rming; more to place the farmer esI
pom the high level in the AFFAIRS Of I'M
o country to which he is entitled, IN
ID more to encourage scientific agri. res
lture than all of his predecessors he
It together Under his wise and ella
pabie administration the Depart. the
emit OF Agriculture has become one Try
the most important In the govern. 4
ent, and it should be, for the agricul- kn'
raj interests are the richest and the 1t
