Named by Judge

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Nov, 90.
"A sensation was exploded at the al
iournet7 session of the Hamilton coun-
ty court To-Day to beal the rsrort OF
the COMMITTEES named to investigate
the management of the roads and
workhouse Of the county. After A.
B. Adams, acting as clalk OF the
county court. had read the entire re-
port, the members listening with rapt
attention to the far reaching charges
made of irregularities, w. L. Bork,
clerk of the board, addressed the
court, denying wrong doing and jus
tifving his acts as a member,
G. Russell Brown, superintenoent
of the roads, followed, likewise deny
ing wrong doing and justifying his
connection with reported irregulari-
ties.
Judge Joe V. Williams precipitated
the climax when he submitted COM
munication to the court demanding
summary resignation or removal OF
the commissioners M. T. Freeman,
Russell Brown and w. L Bork, say
ing that the public veal demanded 1T,
aud holding that they had waived no.
tice of chares to the investigation.
County Attorney J. H. Early held
that there must be fifteen days notice
served on the commissioners and the
county Judge, and the court accented
this holding But this was not done
until after w. B. Miller declared be-
fore the court and served notices that
be, as a taxpayer and citizen, would
file charges to investigate other county
Offices and to carry an investigation
down the line, intimating that he
would include all county offices.
The court finally adjourned until
December II to try the commissioners
at that time, formal notice being serv-
ed in the motion to adjourn. The re-
port of the special committee was pre-

Badly DEPRECATED.
Herbert Domain" 80 Longer
the Splendid Property 1t
Was.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 14.-In
reply to a request from Gov. Hooper
for information concerning the Her.
bert domain, j. S. Beasley, chairman
of the board of prison commissioners,
has submitted a report that contains
many things of interest respecting this
property of the state,
Mr. Beasley sets forth the fact that
at the time of the purchase of the
property it was considered the best
farm on the Cumberland plateau, con-
sisting of between 500 and 800 acres of
fertile lana, well watered, well fenced
and in high state of cultivation. The
state has spent So, SS5 So on this farm
since its purchase. 1t employs a su-
perintendent, allowing him the rents
of the entire property and in addition
a salary of 81, 600 per year. Mr.. Beas-
ley reports that Notwithstanding these
things he found the property in de-
plorable state, the barns and the great
er portion of the fencing burned and
the remainder of the fencing much out
of repair At present there is not
more than 70 acres under fence, and
the once beautiful and fertile meadows
are nothing more than abandoned sage
fel6s.
The new board of prison commits
sioners has not made any disposition
of this property yet, as the same is
now occupied by Thomas Vaughn, son
of the superintendent, who claims that
his contract does not expire until 1914.
The commissioners have decided to
abolish the Office of superintendent and
create an Office to be known as tcare-
taker for the Herbert domain"

Necessity Of Replacing Plank culvsrts

Pennsylvania state Highway com

on the question of road drainage:
Where water must be diverted from
one side to the other of road II
should be carried beneath the surface
by means Of pipes or culverts Of ca.
pacity adequate to carry the maximum
amount Of water which ever will de-
nrlnd passage. Pipes Of suitable ma
terial when properly laid cost little
or nothing to maintain beyond an Oc-
casional cleaning out Water breaks
require constant attention and are IRE
quently Inadequate to prevent the flood
water from overfiowing down the sur
face of the road They are also scri,
GUS obstacles to travel. increasing very

which any attempt is made to carry

The farmer wants parcels post, but
he does not advocate government own

of parcels post he wants is one that
will enable him to get goods from
town over the rural route at low

and that it would be misdirected ex-
ercise Of maternal care to force her
children to school under conditions of
exposure which endanger their bodily
health.
Improved roads would be great
factor in reducing the percentage of H.
uteracy which exists throughout the
country. Our present illiteracy cannot
be reduced to any appreciable extent
cxcopt by marshaling all Of the chill
dren, both city and country. into the
schoOlrooms. This can only be accom-
plishcd by system of compulsory edu-
cation Some of our states have al.
ready passed compulsory education
laws. and In many other states the sen
timent in favor of such laws is so pro-
nOunced as to indicate their early en-
actment. These laws prove bless
ing when wisely framed and properly
administered. There a.e no obstacles
to their efficient administration in our
cities. Everybody is in close proxim-
ity to the schoolhouses and can easily
reach them with but little exposure in
the worst weather. But in the rural
districts the opposite is true. II all
of the roads were in good condition SC
as to remain high and dry it would be
possible to successfully enforce such
q law even in the rural districts. but
with the present condition of most Of
the roads it is impracticable. And the
states in their efforts to thus bestow .
blessing upon their children would bs
attempting an unkind benefaction fO
which they would pay by resultan
loss In the physique and mental vigo
Of our future generations.
Church attendance would also b.
stimulated by road Improvement
When one has nice smooth road t
travel over he doesn't mind driving
three or four miles to church. Smal
congregations would thus be augment
ed. The people would become intel
ested in and take a pride in tllei
churches. Larger and more comfort
able churches would be built. and bot
children and grown people would ri
tend church more regularly than the
do now with our bad roads and distar
and uncomfortable churches. for churcl
