no one was hit. The incident
caused much excitement, and sew

frightened.
The railroad company has been
making some investigations
through its detectives, but no ar
rests have been made. We I'M
derstand they claim to have pretty
good clue as to who committed
the act.

IMPORTANT QUESTION
What About County High School
for Carroll County

Seven years ago when that silver
tongued orator and prince of south
ern orators, the Hon. P. P. CIax-
ton, visited this county. speaking
at Trezevant, Atwood, McLemores-
vile, Huntingdon and Hollow
Rock in the interest of a county
high school, he told the people
that there were then very few
county high schools ID Tennessee.
he had to use records from other
states and nations to show that
high school was beneficial to any
community. He said, however,
that movement was then on in
Tennessee that would result in the
establishment Of these schools
throughout the state and that if
the county court of Carroll county
did not establish one or more in
The near future that she would
have to take d seat further back,
educationally speaking, than she
then occupied, Since that time
East Tennessee has taken the,lead
and established high schools in oil
but eleven counties. Middle Ten
.lessee then followed. but OF course
West Tennessee must be behind,
having established high schools in
only nine counties. There are now
one hundred and two county high
schools 10 forty-four counties Of
this state. Is Carroll county GO
ing to be the last one to establish
onel
Before | became county super
intendent my predecessor tried to
get the county court to take up
the matter. He could not get the
people interested enough to even
talk about it nor the editors Of the
local papers to write about it.
found that the people, generally
did not know how to
proceed to obtlin such school.
| made a tour of the county in
favor Of the school and for an in
crease in school tax. The latter
was to enable us to participate in
the distribution ofthe Toilet Fund.
After a second effort before the
court the tax was raised. But as
to the high school, ! could not so
much as get a member of thecourt !
to make the motion in order to
open the question for discussion.
Ny successor could do nothing but
let truths that had been uttered
soak in" All efforts had been
made it seemd, that could be made
at that time.
But now that we have more than
a hundred in nearly half of the
of the state, il is high
time to get busy, create more sen
timent in favor OF a county high
school for Carroll county. We
challenge any one to show any
good reason why we should not
have an additional tax of fifteen
cents. ii that much is necessary,
for the establishment of this school.
Respectfully,
ELMER H. HARRELL,
Associate Principal. McLemores-
vile Collegiate Institute.

FAIR CLOSED SATURDAY
interest Held Good UutiI the
Very Last

~ NTNf CA@SAA AAAefNtA%t Ds+Nt -
County Fair is a thing Of the past.
1t closed, as planned, last Satur-
day at noon, but the crowd re-
NAMED and the shows kept open
until a late hour Saturday night.
Everybody was in good humor,
bent on having a jolly time. The
Friday and Saturday night crowds
were the largest night crowds had
during the fair, and the shows did
good business.
The weather warmed up during
Che last few days Of the fair,
everybody was on good behavior,
and happy, jolly crowds enjoyed
themselves as we'll as was ever
witnessed at a county fair. A good
crowd attended each day. They
were here from all over the county.
Friends met end enjoyed social
chats that had not seen each other
for years. The children came and
rode the merry-gO.round, took in
the showns and were happy. The
fair proved q happy occasion, long
to be remembered by many.
There were . few people who
saw no good ID the fair and hoped
to never see another one, but they
came every day just the same.
Some people are in their attitude
when finding fault or complaining
50 they, too, we're, happy in that
they found something to criticise
and complain at.
In mentioning those who took
prizes in the parade last week we
inadvertently overlooked the pref
tiest float BY any public school in
the county. This prize. which con
sisted of $500 in gold, was won
by the Beaver Creek Academy.
These folks had a splendid display
and are to be congratulated for
the interest they took in the fair,
and the pleasure they had in TAX
ing part amply paid them for their
trouble.
