ROAD QUESTION
In HARDIN COUNTY
MUCH INTEREST is MANIFEST
IN THE ISSUING OF
BONDS.

SAVANNAH, Tenn, Jan. s. There
is considerable agitation over the
county now concerning the one hun
bred thousand dollar bond issue to
be voted on by the people, for the
purpose of building good roads in the
county. The county court at its JAM
airy term voted to submit the propo-
sition to vote of the people. There
is great interest in the move, and the
PROBABILITY is that the bonds will be
voted. The claim is that it would
build pike across the county from
north to south, and one across from
east to west, making two great thor
oughfares through the county.

Friday night.
That there was a universal inter.

thoroughly evidenced by the immense
crowd that gathered at the city hall

This is a device for letting the

will be the means of relieving the

Two frames of pine strips are

nailed across each frame, these
strips being just far enough apart
to permit plate to stand on edge
between them. The cross strips
on the bottom frame should be
nailed at right angles to the cross
strips on the top. Four blocks
two inches high should be placed
at the corners and between the
frames to hold them apart, and
the whole should then be nailed
together.
After the dishes are washed
they should be placed in this

water poured over them. That is
all that is necessary. The dishes

COMMERCE COURT
IS GIVEN A BLOW
By United States Supreme
Court Unanimously
New Court * Denied Jurisdiction
over interstate Commits
>ion-Beyond Its Power.
tBy the Associated Press,

Washington, June Blow after
blow was given the new nme
today by the supreme court Of
the United States, which upheld the
exclusive Jurisdiction OF the inter
state commerce commission over the
administrative machinery II the lred-
eral rate laws.
The principal decision was an
nounced by Chief Justice White III the
so-called Proctor ana Gamble case
tie was sustained by the entire court.
IN substance he held that the COM
merce court was not to substitute its
judgment Tor the interstate
commission in the administration of
the rate laws. The SPECIFIC point
ruled upon was that parties who
tailed TO get relief before the inter
state commission have no
right to go into the commerce conrr
and have that court pass upon tho
tscts to ascertain if they should have
been granted relief.
Went Out of Bounds.
In his opinion Chief Justice White.
however, went further. He showed
that the court was not
gwen new and strange" powers, but
succeeded TO the powers of the circuit
courts IN existence when the COM
merce court was created, and tina the
commerce court was limited iii re-
viewing the commissions order To
questions of law. In cases Yet TO be
passed upon it is claimed that the
curt went out of the do
main of law and gave its judgment
on pure questions of fact.
Chief Justice White stated he
question for decision TO be whether
the authority of the commerce court
was confined TO enforcing and re-
stralnlng as the case might be. afr
NATIVE orders of the commission. or
whether it had the power TO exert its
own Judgment by original interpre-
tatiOn of the administrative features
of the act to regulate and
upon that assumption to treat Il re-
fESal Of the commission to grant re-
lief waS an affirmative order and ac-
COrdingly pass on its correctness.
Both from the words Of the act
reating the court and from
the general scheme Of rate regula-
ton. the Chief Justice said it was to
be seen that the court had
no such broad powers as it claimed TO
possess.
To adopt the view Of the
court as to its jurisdiction, Chief JUS
