The FIRST case to come before the

assert that they win set busy and
see that the laws are complied with.
Officers OF the association who

Owing to this being the first case

Prom this time on. members and

particular attention to the number of
counties that had voted large bond is
sues for road construction, work upon
which was beginning and would start
during the summer and fall months, i'll
order that his work might be systema-
tized and brought into closer relations.
The senator suggested that it would be
well to hold number of public meet
ings or conferences, embracing both
congressional districts and counties, in
addition to state meeting that has al
ready been called He asked that one
or more experts be detailed by the
good road office to attend these meet
ings and properly explain the variOus
systems that obtain in the construction
OF roads in the United States.
The chief engineer explained to SEN
ator Frazier that at this time the de-
mand Oh the good roads office was such
that it made it exceedingly difficult for
him to accede to all requests, but prom
ised that if Senator Frazier would pro-
vide him with the places and dates OF
these meetings he would undertake to
have some of the best road experts in
the United States attend them all, and
in practical way demonstrate the
making and worth of good roads.
Senator Frazier informed Mr.. Pierce
that as soon rs he could communicate
with his constituents and determine nj
what time it would best suit them t'
hold these meetings he would advise

living being who knows where the
great seal of the Confederacy is hidden.
He declares that he will die with the
secret.
Jones hid the seal himself under in
structions from President Davis at the
time Richmond was evacuated and
promised President Davis when the
Hitter was on his death bed that he
would never divulge the hiding place.
He positively denies that the seal was
thrown into the James river, as one
story declares. He says he could put
his hand on the seal today, but he new
er will. The negro has been Offered
large sums of money for the seal by
various Confederate societies, etc, but
always refused.
jones has been in the government
employ for about twenty years. He
was originally appointed a laborer in
the senate stationery room by Secretary
of the Senate Cox. He made good, and
is well known and liked by members
of the senate and officials.

and James G. Jones were candidates
for governor of Tennessee. Thomas d..
Arnold was a candidate for congress,
but although whig he met with no
favors at the hands of the editor of
"The Whig," but was styled General
Benedict Arnold, jr. Among other
grave charges in the paper is one that
James X. Polk was drunk when he
made his speech in Greeneville and
that he uttered things that were not
true in his speech. This paper adver-
tises a great shooting match to be held
in Jonesboro on July 4, lS4l, the prizes
being two houses and lots and several
horses and wagons. We can see from
this paper that away back twenty
years before the war there was much
political talk about matters that con
cern the people no more as there M
doubt will be sixty years from now
when our little political differences o
today will be raked up just for the saI<'
of showing how foolish the people ar,
now.

ninety in the shade. He began the
first Sabbath of his vacation by going
to the Unitarian church. Miss Helen
Taft and Capt. Archibald Butt were
the only other members of his party.
Through the early hours of the after
noon the president sat on the broad
yeranda of his cottage overlooking the
sail-dotted ocean and read "The Great
ness and Decline of Rome" by the his
torian Ferrero, who spent week at
the white house with Mr.. Roosevelt.
Near sunset Mr.. Taft took a long
motor ride with Mrs. Taft. After din
ner he again sought the cool of the We
randa. The president has several mat
ters of official business before him dur
ing the coming week He is going to
dispose of the matter of census super
visors throughout the entire United
States. Secretary of Commerce and
Labor Nagel and Director of the Cen
sus Durand are coming to Beverly the
latter part of the week with list of
names of formidable length and by the
time they leave the president hopes to
announce his position.
The president has fixed upon the
policy he will follow with reference to
census appointments in the south. In
the states which were solidly democrat
ic, the president will divide the ap-
pointments equally among democrats
and republicans. He will insist that
the appointees shall not be active par
tisans, however, but capable men.
From the so-called 'Solid south" the
president has picked out North Carroll
ma, Tennessee, Kentucky and Missouri
as debatabe states and will treat them
on the same footing as northern states,
giving all of the census jobs to republi-
cans. He will insist, however, that in
these states the same standard of eff
cheney of character of men shall obtain.
The states in which the division be-
tween democrats and republicans will
be made are Virginia, South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississip-
pi, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas.

LIGHTNING DESTROYS
BARN NEAR PINEY FLATS

In the heavy electrical storm that
passed over this section Thursday night
a barn belonging to George Warren
was struck by lightning and complete
y destroyed. 1t was large barn and
well filled with hay, oats and wheat.
There were two mules and horse in
the stable and they all perished in the
flames. Much valuable farming ma
chinery, including a wheat binder, a
corn binder, three wheat drills, a wag-
on, hack and other property were lost
There is an insurance of $500 on the
barn, but that will not cover the loss
of the building alone. The total loss
has not been estimated, but it will be
very heavy.

the Office, so that the assignments may
be made.
Senator Frazier is a stickler for the
reserved rights of the states, but is in
clined to the opinion that under the
power TO establish postoilices and post
roads, and possibly under other grants
of power in the constitution, the feder-
al government could lend its aid so far
as to contribute to the building and
improvement of roads over which it
carries it's mails in its rural route serv-
ice and at the same time reserve to the
states and counties the power to locate
and control such roads and retain their
jurisdiction over the same. He regards
this rs II matter of extreme importance
in view of the aroused public sentiment
over the country in favor of good roads.
He is working on bill along these
lines which he expects to introduce at
the next session. He has had the mat
ter up and gone over it in detail with
the bureau of good roads of the depart
meht of agriculture.
