The First District Bonds.

The Memphis Bank of Com
nerce and Trust Company, hold
ers of what are known as the
First District Good Roads Bonds,
amounting to $35, 900, wrote to
President Anderson Of tire Board
of Supervisors, demanding pay
ment of the first installment of in
terest. Mr. Anderson wrote in re-
ply to this that it would be time
enough to think about paying in
terest on the bonds when the mon
ey was paid into the treasury; that
no money had been received into
the treasury in the manner pre-
scribed by law and that therefore
there was nothing due. In short
he made r plea of mo considera-
ton To this the corporation re-
Piled that the money had been
paid into the treasury legally, but
failed to show it. They did show
that the bonds were sold regular
~ but did not and cannot show
legal payment. Mr. Anderson is
determinedt to contest the payment
of the interest on these bonds and
we believe the balance of the
Board and the taxpayers gener-
ally will stand by him. The mon
ey for the bonds was never in
Iuka. 1t was checked out by
Fairc1othin different checks and
at different times. What dispo-
sition he made Of the money check
ed out can only be conjectured.
Our feeling is that everybody
should stand by the Board in their
effort to save the taxpayers of the
list District from this burden.

Henry Watterson is still mutter-
ing about Woodrow Wilson. The
truth is, Watterson tried to die
tate Wilson'S course in the canvas
and failed to do so. eWilson did
the right thing to discourage the
self-appointed leadership of this
Knight of Bourbon, whose writ
ings are profusely punctuated by
cocktails and whose speeches are
dissolved in lager beer. A man
with this sort spiritual stimulus
is not the sort to guide politica
course of 4 sober, sane statesman
like Wilson.

SHIFT 9TH GRADERS
TO LINCOLN SCHOOL

In order TO make room for the
large number of primary pupils on
the south side of the river, the school
board has decided to shift the sixth
grade pupils of the Hawthorne school
to the Lincoln school on the north
side of the river, according to an
announcement made this afternoon by
superintendent j. 5. Landers. The
change will take place tomorrow.
This is the solution which the di-
rectors offer for the relief of the sit
uation which has prevailed since the
opening of the school. So great was
the increase in the number of chill
dren that the addition built to the
Lincoln school would not accommo-
date the overflow which followed the
closing of the Field school because OF
its unsanitary surroundings. The
first solution which the board at
tempted was the securing of bridge
across the river in the west part OF
the city but the council refused at
this time to consider such project
Rather than reopen the field
school. the board decided to shift
the Hawthorne sixth graders and to
use their room for the extra primary
pupils.
