CELEBRATION
At Audubon. An Enjoyable Affair.
Fine Day. Big Crowd. All Kinds
Of Sports.

The Fourth was fittingly observed
here. The Sunrise Salute consisting
of twenty-one guns was heard in the
early morning. The crowd was quite
large, orderly and we'll handled. The
train from the rth brought four
coaches down heavily loaded. The
southern train did not bring many.
The trains we're met by the band and
the boys gave good service the entire
day and dispensed music quite freely.
Afser the crowd had gathered for the
day the parade headed by the band
was held. Although the parade was
short, it was good. The contest for
the best decorated auto Joe Elwood
took first, Jake Miller2nd, and August
johnson 3rd. For the best decorated
team Mr.. Clifford of Viola township
took first and Mary Law 2nd. Garland
Curtis and his pony was proved to be
the best rag muffin and the Audubon
Oil Company was the most comical
costume.
Following the parade the crowd
gathered to listen to the program con-
sisting of music under the surervis-
ion of !. w. Landrum and Mrs. Chas.
Wilde, an GRAFTON by Hon. E. S.
White of Harlan and the reading of
the Declaration of Independence by
@. w. Marlin.
After dinner they re-asse mbled for

result of the contest:

injuring and bruising several. A
daughter of Jas. Foster of Sioux City
and two children Of Mr.. Jurgens, liv-
ing in the country, sustained slight
fractures of the collar bone, The acct
dents we're indeed unfortunate but
seemed unavoidable.

Elected to Important Post.

| Col. w. N. Calhoun, who for many
years has been engaged as principal OF
schools in Lake County, lately principal
and executive head Of the Ridgely
school, was elected last week as a mem
Der OF the faculty Of Bethel College at
Mckenzie and assigned to the chair Of
mathematics and history. Col Cal
houn is son Of one of the pioneers in
Cumberland Presbyterianism in Obion
County, Rev. Joe B. Calhoun, one Of
the grandest men the county ever held.
The young man was educated in the
schools Of Tennessee and spent a,num-
Der of years in Oklahoma in the teach
ing profession with great success. He
came back and took up the work in
Lake County, developing the Upton
vile school to one Of the leading schools
Of the State. He went to Ridgely and
was gaining every step in his profession,
developing the schools in his chosen
field and enlisting the interest of his
people in the cause Of education, when
called to the important post in Bethel.
This college is now the leading univer-
sity school of the church, the alma
mater of many distinguished Tennes-
scans, including Col W. P. Caldell,
Ex-Gov. Jas. ID. Porter, Gen. J.. d. G. |
Atkins and Hon. FINS J. Garrett.
Col. Calhoun is one Of four members of
the faculty OF that institution recently
elected, consisting Of nine members al
together, one Of them filling the chair
of theology. The Lake County teacher
has also been assigned to another very
important branch of that institution,
the craftsmanship OF the committee on
advertising, one Of the most important
offices in the school work.
The many friends Of Col. Calhoun in
this county and in Lake will take the
greatest pleasure in his election, feeling
the utmost confidence in his ability and
worth to extend the influence of that
splendid institution, develop its stand
ards and enlarge its usefulness until it
becomes the Yale or the Harvard OF the
South

Clock Of Odds and Ends.

out Of an astonishing collection Of odds

spent his spare moments for about seven
years in constructing it,
In addition to showing the time OF
day and the seconds" he says in the
Strand, /" it also shows the days OF the
week, days Of the month, months of
the year and the phases OF the moon,
besides striking the hours and half
hours.
The wheels were all originally Of
wood, but last summer changed some
Of them for others made Of sheet brass.
The axles are all skewers and the bear
ilgs are the eyes cut from brass hinges
and let into the wooden frame.
Bootmakers' brads are used in max
ing divisions in the days of the week,
ETC.; the hammer it strikes with is part
Of beer tap, and the pendulum, cut
from an old chest OF drawers, swings on
a steel spring obtained from lady's
corset. The dates themselves are taken
from an almanac.

Why So.

Last week it seems that large ma.
jority OF the citizens OF Union City
were surprised to find that bill had
been introduced in the Legislature and
passed the House providing for the cleo
ton of the marshal, recorder and super
intendent Of the water and light plant
by the voters Of Union City, providing
also for the election Of city auditor.
The bill had also passed two readings
OF the Senate, and when some of the
friends spoke to Representative Howard
in Nashville about it he appeared to
know very little about the bill. He
did not introduce the bill and did not
know from whence it originated Sena-
tor Caldwell took it for granted that the
bill had the approval of our citizens and
the support OF our representatives, hence
he did not offer any objection. The
news Of the bill and the action taken
in the Legislature caused considerable
stir here last week.
These were the impressions made up
to Monday by the news that had been
CLEANED Of the measure, and the
result was that mass meeting OF our
citizens was held at the City Hall Mon
day night, an account Of which appears
on another page. The vote taken was
unanimous in opposition to the bill
The Commercial takes the ground
that any measure which will not bear
publication and an inspection in the
light OF day, carries behind it some I'LL
terror motive, and, good or bad, de-
serves the fate of the committees dis
approval. There are SO many under
hand methods taken to railroad legisla-
ton through Congress or through the
Legislatures that the only safe position
is against them. If the bill sent to |
Nashville is a good bill because it rec
ognizes the voice Of the people in the
selection Of officers, then why was it
necessary to send it to Nashville under
cover; why was it necessary to with
hold its provisions or even its existence
from the knowledge Of the public.
This is the manner in which most all,
in fact we might say all pernicious legis-
lation is accomplished But concede the
probability Of virtue in the bill, are not
the citizens iustifable in opposing it
under the conditions in which it has
originated and under which it has
been struggled into the Legislature and
through the committees
II there be any virtue ia the bill is
there anything lost in opposing it until
a similar measure can be sent up in the
proper channel by the consent and APP
proval Of the people whom it affects.
Good or bad, the bill seems to have be-
hind it something more than unselfish
motives, and such adjoining is enough
to kill it.

The Reelfoot Lake Controversy.


A Joint Legislative Committee K
Tennessee has recommended that the
State Fish and Game Commissioner
take charge of Reelioot Lake and adop
such measures as he deems proper for
the protection Of the fish The recon-
mendahon is yet to be acted on by the
Legislature.
Tennessee wants to take possession OF
the lake, but this does not seem posi-
Bile without extended litigation. The
West Tennessee Land Company is
claiming title to the property under
certain grants. It has proposed 10 sell
to the State its entire holdings for $l10,-
600, or to sell the property covered by
the waters Of the lake for SS5, 900. The
Legislative Committee declares the prop
osition to be unreasonable and ex-
cessive, " and it does not seem probable
that the Assembly will look any more
fayorabIy upon it than did the commit
teemen.
The State of Tennessee already has
suit pending in which it is seeking to
test the validity Of the claim made by
the West Tennessee Land Company.
There is possibility of additional liti-
CATION in the way Of condemnation pro-
ceedings, and it is not improbable that
the matter will be before the courts for
several years. The Supreme Court is
said to have held on more than one oc-
casion that the fish in the lake and the
game thereat are the property of the
State. The Legislative Committee
thinks there would be no bar to the
Fish and Game Commissioner taking
charge OF the property and resorting to
such measures as he sees proper for the
protection and conservation of the fish
supply, regardless Of any controversy
over the ownership of the land. This
plan is said to meet the approba-
ton of the people who live around the
lake, and if it can be carried out it
would eliminate great deal OF the i'll
feeling which has existed in the vicinity
for a number Of years.
Unquestionably the State of Tennes-
see should own the lake. II the fish
belong to the State it would appear to
be proper for the State to take charge,
and as the fish supply has been the
chief source Of trouble State supervision
would be best for all interests concern
I'd. 1t is the opinion of eminent law
yers in Tennessee that the plan propos-
ID by the committee is legal. There
seems to be little division of sentiment
Is to what is best to do as matter of
public policy. 1t is highly probable
hat the Assembly will agree with the
Joint Legislative Committee, which was
unanimous in its recommendations
BY taking charge Of the fish supply the
'tate would put summary end to the
discussions in the lake country, leaving
he courts to thresh out at their leisure
he questions OF individual and corpor-
tie rights that may be involved. -
