A PLEA FOR BETTER BUSI-
NESS METHODS

Gov. Ben w. Hooper opening mes
sage to the legislature was a broad
and liberal plea for measures which
will put the work of the Legislature
on better business foundation and
remove many objections now offered
to legislative methods.
State institutions should be investi-
gated and inspected in a thorough and
systematic manner, and the Governor
recommendation for definite plan by
which the charitable institutions may
be regularly inspected, and have their
accounts officially audited by a com
mittee vested with full power to look
thoroughly into all details. will
doubtless meet with general approval.
The Governor properly says that no
corporation or business institution of
Importance would tolerate the loose
and slipshod methods now in vogue
for the investigation of TeDnesses's
public institutions, and the junketing
system, so thoroughly discredited by
the Governor and the united State
press, should be relegated to the back
ground.
Gov. Hooper very properly denoun-
ced the fee system of paying public
He urged that public officials
should be well paid, bet emphasized
the necessity for having their salaries
definitely fixed by law, as has now
been done in most States, In discuss
ing the refunding of the State debt.
Gov Hooper also expressed his APP
prevail of plan which would make it
possible for the masses in Tennessee to
acquire the bonds and thus take a
more intelligent interest in the finan
eial affairs of the State
One of the most vital recommends
lions in GOV. Hooper's message was
that the Legislature shall make suffic
lent appropriations to enable the geo.
logical survey and the immigration
bul eau to advertise the resources of
Tennessee in an effective manner. The
Tide of immigration is turning from
the West to the South, and the Gov
srnor is anxious that the Old Volun-
5eer State shall lose no chance to at
5ract immigrants whose eyes are al
,eady turned this way.
In a business way Tennessee has
made great strides within ten years,

4 PISTOL TOTIN ITALIAN
FINED $50 AND COSTS
BY Squire Teats Yesterday Morning.
Who Acquitted Another OF Charge

Italians who come to Oakland will
probably leave their artillery at home
hereafter, especially if the news gets
abroad that thew fare badly at the hands
of the States officers when they visit
the county seat of Garrett.
Two of the sons of sunny Italy arrived
here Monday morning from the camp of
laborers engaged at work on the B. &
O. at Rodamer, over in West Virginia.
One of them brought ferocious looking
implement of warfare with him, every
chamber Of which contained a leaden
bullet. His partner purchased a gun
from one of the Oakland merchants
shortly after arriving here and in about
half an hour both were in jail charged
with carrying concealed weapons.
They were given a hearing by Justice
Teats yesterday morning, who assessed
the one with the loaded pistol $50 and
costs, amounting to about $50 in all.
Proof was produced that the other Ital-
ian had purchased his revolver just prior
to his arrest and it was still in original
package as delivered to him by the mer-
chant from whom he made the purchase
and he was acquitted.
Several friends of the convicted ltaI-
ian were here at the hearing and among
them they succeeded in raising the need
full $50 and paid the fine.

.FRIENDSVILLE- ACCIDENT
Road PETITI0HED FOR
BY Residents of Both Towns and Will
Be Built Under Shoemaker Law.

Tuesday a delegation of prominent
residents of Friendsville and Accident,
bearing a petition which was numerous
ly signed and also a bond in the sum of
$4,000, appeared before the Board of
County Commissioners and fled the pa
pers wherein they pray for the construc-
ton OF water grade road to be built
under the provisions Of the Shoemaker
Law, beginning for the same at a point
near Friendsville AMI following the south
prong of Bear Greek to a point about
one-half mile south of Accident, a dis
lance Of some five or SIX miles.
For several months the people of both
Friendsville and Accident have been at
work upon the project Of having the
state build a road from one town to the
other and over new route, thus elimi-
mating the noantain traversed by the
present road.
The Shoemaker Law under which it is
proposed to build the new road requires
that ten per cent. of the total cost of
construction shall be furnished by pro-
perty owners whose lands abut upon the
road; forty per cent. shall he levied by
the county to be paid by the property
owners generally, and the balance, or
fifty per cent, is furnished by the
State; that the petitions and the fund
Of ten per cent, or its equivalent lin
this case a bond for the amount shall
be in the hands of the Board of County
Commissioners prior to March 1st. The
law has been strictly observed and there
is no doubt in the minds of the interest
ed residents of Friendsyille and Acct
dent but that a corps of engineers will
be placed Immediately on the ground
and the surveys made so that work may
begin this summer.
All the required material for the road
may be found along the proposed route
which will cheaper the cost of construc-
ton very much.
The gentlemen who appeared before
the Commissioners in the interest of the
road were Messrs. George J. Kolb, Jer-
ry Nugent and n. l.. SeIby, of Friends
vile, and State Senator H. J. Speicher
and Mr. William Miller, of Accident.
