Report of the Pike Commits
sion Before County Court.
THE BOOKS WERE AUDITED
Show That Forty Miles Have
Been Graded and Ten Miles
Macadamized and Still Nearly
One-Haf of the Fund Remains
in the Treasury.

Cooke county has 40 miles of it's pike
roads graded and nearly 10 miles mac
adamized according to the report of
the Pike Commission which was filed
before the County court on Monday
and there is balance of over 100000
in the treasury. The report follows:
Report of Pike Commission, July
term, 1911.
To the Honorable County Court:
The pike work is progressing in a
satisfactory manner, and the contract
ors are pushing the work rapidly. We
have 4O.1 miles of graded road and 9. 8
miles OF macadam. About one mile of
the pike work on the Cosby road is not
satisfactory but this will be placed in
proper condition. All in all, we are
confident that we are getting better re-
suits than any other county in East
Tennessee.
We have had Mr.. l.. s. Smith to
audit the books of the Pike Commits
sion and we herewith submit our
financial report which we ask be
spread of record as part of this re-
port. Said report shows the balance
on hand on July l, 1911, to be $102,-
1l4.55. In addition, we had due us on
that date, accrued interest on loans
and certificates of deposit, the sum of
S2,677.61, making the total assets the
sum of slO4, 1926.
McCreary & CO., the old contractors,
have instituted suit against the
county claiming the IO% forfeited un-
der their contract, etc., and we will,
this week, file cross-bill against them
and their sureties, and we expect to
collect substantial amount from
them.
Respectfully submitted, July Sd,

BLOODY CLOTHES ON BANK
OF RIVER; CRIME SUSPECTED

The finding of the bloody clothes OF
a woman on the Nola Chuckey river,
in the bend below Inman's store, has
thrown that section into a state of ex-
element and the theory of a foul deed
is advanced by all.
Last Friday morning one of the
leading citizens of the Driskill section
came upon the clothing of woman
lying close to the river bank. He no
ticed that the clothing was covered
with blood. The first impression was
that some woman had committed in
fanticide at the spot, but, when subse-

quent investigation failed to reveal
anything the people came to the con-
clusion that even more ioul deed had
been committed, and that, perhaps,
the woman was in the9riyer, as well as
her child, If she had one. The people
have searched the river for some dis
tance from the spot where it is pre-
sumed that the victim entered or was
thrown into the river, but no evidence
has been gathered. Practically the
whole of that population has Joined i'm
the search and the people have not had
an incident in their midst In some
time to create as much interest.

Office New Ruling as to Com

County Court met in quarterly ses-
sion Monday morning withsY. ]. Nc.
Mahan, presiding. The session was
well attended, The principal business
consisted in the authorizing of the
building of bridge at Edwina. This
caused considerable discussion, but
finally the court appropriated a sum
of 81, 900 for the construction of the
bridge, and the resolution provided
that the committee serve without com.
pensation and that there be no charges
made for the right of ways leading to

The appropriation was made by 1ote
of 1O-7.
The chalrmon Was empowered to
send lunatics to the State asylum, at
county's expense, when the county s
required number is already there.
This matter was brought up in the
case OF Martha Simmons of the First
district, it being explained that it
would cost the county $l3 per month
for each patient, above the regular
number and that this was approx.
imately the same price it would cost
to keep them confined in the county
Jail, where there were no facilities.

BITE OF SNAKE

Ten years ago Winfield X Kyker owned
an old horse which had big swelling
on one of its legs which finally inca
pacitated it from work, and Kyker gave
the horse away. 1t showed some i'm
provement later and has been doing
light work until ten days ago, when a
snake bit it on the swollen. leg. This
bite has caused the swelling to disap-
pear and the horse, apparently as
sound as itever was, showing no evil
dence of the swelling nor limp, was
seen at local livery stable here this
week.

CLYDE McMAHAN WANTS TO
BE COUNTY COMMITTEEMAN

Considerable interest is being mani
tested in Republican circles about the
probability of the naming of the sue
cessor to the late James L. Waters, as
congressional committeeman from this
county.
AS far as has been learned, Clyde
McMahan, circuit court clerk, is the
only avowed candidate for the posi-
tion, and there is some question as to
his candidacy, although the trend of
events would show that he is seeking
the place. .s
1T is alleged that the young circuit
court clerk went to Jonesboro, Satur-
day, accompanied by Postmaster d.
G. Waters of COSBY, for the purpose Of
having a consultation with Albert

Claim of Circuit Court Clerk
DisallOwed.
SOME SMALLPOX CLAIMS
Several Errors Are Corrected and
The Trustee Gains Nearly 5000
For Which Sum He Had Been
Overcharged in the April Set
Elements.

The Board of Revenue submitted its
quarterly report to the County court,
Tuesday. 1t dlsallowed the claim of
tue Circuit court clerk who wante.; his
salary allowance, as allowed by act of
legislature. 1t also corrected some
erpoys and suggested that all smallpox
Claims be referred to the health officer.
The report follows:
To the Honorable County Court
We have examined the settlements
OF the various County officers and
ffued them correct, save those of the
Trustee. In the April settlement of
the County fund, the Trustee is over
charged with the sum of $1S2.S0, and
I'm his April settlement on road fund
he is not given credit for the sum of
SS,a1on the 4th. District fund. These
errors have been corrected.
The Circuit Court Clerk has filed
claims for the last two quarters aggre-
eating s179.99, on account of his salary
i'm excess Of fees collected. The act
allowing the Clerk salary of $4,000
per year, the excess over fees collected
to be paid by the county, provides:-
Provided that the said clerks shall
fiie annually on the first day of Jan
uarY, an itemized statement sworn to
befofe the county judge or chairman,
showing the amount of fees paid into
their respective offices, and in all coun-
ues where the total amount of such
tees fail to equal the salaries above pro-
vided. the difference between the Total
amount OF said fees and the salary
asave provided, shall be paid bv the
county &c. Acts, 1908, Ch. 225.
Et will be seen that the law does not
antnSgixe the payment of the Clerks
anaary quarterly, and said claims are
therefore, improperly filed, and should
nat be allowed. 1t would amount to
the payment Of the clerks salary in
advance, and place the burden upon
the County collecting his fees to re-
iEa6urse the County.
Wecollected this quarter, and the
Trustee has charged himself Herewith
tAe sum of S1l3.20 on account of fees
ca,Seeted for former Circuit Court
Clerks.
We have examined the claims filed
fey allowance up to and including
Jnly lst, 1911, and have RECOMMENDED
xsaae for payment, and have corrected
eyEars and overcharges in others. But
we desire 10 call the Court's specia
s1seation to batch of issmail pox'
saaims, in which the County is charged
fs1 "srent, - groceries" &c. We car
rRa no legal authority for the paymen
"a sl,ese claims, and such payment
wsaId establish very dangerous pre-
ce9ent. Probably there are some
ssenas in these claims which should b.
allowed, but the major part of then
sAoalded, in our judgment, be dis
ssiiowad.

Shipley, chairman of the committee.
Shipley will fill the vacancy by max
ing an appointment but it has not
been learned with what favor he looks
upon the candidacy of young Nc
Mahan. In the meantime McMahan
is busy denying that he has been to
see Shipley.
The appointment is of much interest
as the makeup of the committee is
such that the Cooke county represen-
tative can come very near casting the
deciding vote, between Congressman
Sells and anti-Sells people. 1t is be-
cause of this feature that the Repubi-
cans are watching McMahan's effort
to pull off something, but both fac
tions seem to have become wise to the
situation and there will be lively lit

Makinu His Mark.

Zone funny thing | have learned
about human nature" said a drug
store cashier, lis the habit many peo-
pie have of marking their name in the
city directory. They do that because
the directory is the only place where
their name ever gets intoNprint. and it
has such a fascination for them that
they can't resist calling attention to it.
A funny little old man who likes to
talk tells me that he has made special
trips. to different parts of the city just
to mark his name in the directories of
the neighborhood. He puts a little
cross in red ink before it. l asked him
what good it did He said none, pos
sibly, although he is q teacher of Ian
guages and may get a few calls on
account of that queer advertisement.
"But his is an exceptional case Not
many persons spend time and money
hunting up city directories. but every
time they happen to see a new one
they can't help looking up their name
and putting some kind of a mark

der over the side and fastens the life
line round him. The tender screws on

and down goes the diver to look for
shell. If he is on ground where shell
is plentiful he fills his bag, then allows
his dress to fill with air. which brings
him to the surface. when be is hauled
to the boat by the life line He emp
ties his bag on to the deck and goes
down for another bagful. Some of
the divers occasionally work in twen-

with which the diver has to contend
is. paralysis. and. knowing the danger
he runs. he sometimes demands 1900 in

times lost to the pearler through the

When Ore Drills With Diamonds.

When Gre Drills with ptanoH0S.
A diamond bit for rock drilling is
quite an expensive article. says Cas-
sier's Magazine. Its value, however.
will undergo fluctuations, dependent
upon the price of the diamonds. Per-
haps $500 is fair value for bit.
The diamond used is exceedingly hard
harder than those usually used as
jewelry. Their carat price is consid-
erable, averaging. say. $50 per carat.
The diamonds used will weigh from
one to two carats, so that eight
have value ranging from $3.50 to
$500 on the average. The loss Of a
bit means many diamonds gone and
may lead to difficulty with the hole.
The diamond is not tough. but brittle.
1t will withstand heavy pressure it
applied evenly and without shock. 1t
can readily be seen that drilling
through seamy rock may become quite
unfavorable If there is much quartz
present the abrasion may become ex-
cessive. Under ordinary conditions.
