Maury Countian Says It Can Be Made
One of the Demands of Candidates
for the Legislature at the Next
Election.

The proposition to have the next
legislature enact law placing the
short term convicts of the state on
the public roads under some charac-
ter of legal regulations is fast taking
form in the mi Is of the people. This
is app2reat AS whereby the

inS of the Middle TGnr = Farmers
Institute in Nashville in October a
resolution favoring the idea was
adopted by a unanimous vote This
resolution was proposed by Lincoln
county delegate, and seconded by a
Giles county delegate, and the Maury
county and all other county delegates
voted for it, The resolution
Resolved, That it is the sentiment
OF the Middle Tennessee Farmers In
Stitute in convention assembled, that
state convicts who are serving terms
of three years or less, be required to
work on the public roads, and that we

enact aw to that effect"
At the regular meeting in Deem
Der it is likely that this same resolu-

again come up for consideration, and
the farmers in the various counties
are already discussing it. Some of
them ill Maury county are regarding
1t as a working nucleus for the fur
thering of the good roads sentiment
that is fast taking hold in every Sec

One prominent farmers and good
roads advocate said regarding this
matter yesterday afternoon:
1T is capital idea, and should be
put into practice. The state could
reap more direct benefit from the
work of its convicts in this manner
than any other way. 1t will assist in
bringing about the free road system
and more rapidly than by the old
methods, and will cost no more. / ex-
bect to attend the December meeting, |
and should this matter come up for
consideration, and expect 1t will, |
intend to make an effort to form a |

the idea can be gotten before all the |
people and can be one of the demands |
made of the candidates for the legis-

MEMORIAL EXERCISES
DATES ARE SET IN MANY OF
THE STATES FOR THE
OCCASION.
TENNESSEE DECEMBER FIFTH
observance Of the Occasion by the
Schools for the Purpose of Emjha-
sizing the Importance of Agricul-
tural Demonstrations.

The Knapp Memorial Committee
has just issued bulletin from it's of.
flee, which is being sent to the farm
demonstration agents and school su.
perintendents in the Southern states.
The Importance of agriculture is
emphasized in this bulletin, and a
large amount of material is brought
together for use in carrying out a
program on Knapp agricultural day,
which will be celebrated on Dec. 10
in North Carolina; on Dec. in Ten
nessee, South Carolina and Georgia !;
on Dec. 16, DR.. A. Sherman Knapp's
birthday, in Florida; on Dec II in
Texas.
Other states have not yet named a
date or are suggesting to the schools
that they celebrate on any convenient
date in November or December.
1t is believed that the observance
In the schools of such an occasion
each year would be most whole
some custom. 1t would center upon
rural life the attention not only of
the children of the schools, but of
their parents as we'll 1t would call
attention to the fundamental imDor-
lance of agriculture and country life,
in which the people of the cities are
quite as much concerned as those in
the country. No one can escape this
fact, and such program will be of
significance to all.
The Knapp Memorial Committee
lays stress on the Importance of es
tablishing the Seaman A. Knapp
School of Country Life. This school
will be of immense service in equip
ping teachers to improve rural schools
and in adding interest to the pursuits
Of agriculture and to country life.
Hearty endorsement of this plan has

schools and of Agriculture.

YOUTHS THRONG TO MUSEUM
Famous London Collection Is a Mag
net for the Youngsters of the
Poorer Class.

The British Museum, which is at
tracing an unusually large plumber OF
visitors these days, Is always much
loved by the poorest children Of the
neighborhood. They come in shabby
little groups and stray wonderingly
through the long Egyptian gallery,
sometimes finding their way to for
hidden country, the basement OF the
antiques, where they evidently take
a puzzled interest in the chilly fig
ures.
But they prefer the mummy-roem,
with it's painted cases and the odd
little animals from Egyptian tombs'
and, above all, they enjoy themselves
in the chronological section, with its
savage-weapons, hideous, lifelike mod
els and strange native costumes. The
boys especially may often be seen rapt
in admiration before the red Indian
case with it's array Of eagle feathers
worn by famous braves. The attend
ants look with very kindly eyes on
these poverty-stricken but admirably
behaved little people, realizing how
much it means to them to have such
a dry and warm resort.
But while it interests the visitors,
too, to notice some tattered, white
faced child gazing up at goodyear
old Pharaoh, it is a humiliatine
thought that London can show old
Pharaoh such a hapless product OF
centuries Manchester Guardian.

A GREAT B0MBARDMENT

Did the citizen of Monterey think
they heard the bombardment OF
Constantinople Tuesday 9th, if so
they were mistaken for it was only
the bombardment and fall of con-
slant sheep eatrr. Sunday, '..v Hh
Burton Hook saw 4 large bear
within one hundred and fifty yards
of G. l.. Siple's residence and Mon
day night it killed and ate whole
lamb and all of sheep except part
of the hide and two legs from the
knees down, within two hundred
yard of G. W. Hooks residence.
The remains of the sheep WAS not
found until noon then the tele-
phone was brought into play Il
crowd of thirty eager bear hunters
was soon assembled determined to
kill that bear before he died Of in
digestion.
They decided to drive the Big
Ridge and stan j on the Cowpasture
The drive was nearly completed
when the dogs bayed the bear in a
laurel thicket and in short time
James IRVINE saw the bear, which
Immediately got it in the neck, y
which partially severed its wind
PIPE, The bear then went by Bur-
ton Hook who proceeded to blow
the top out of the trees. The chase
was then on, but the dogs stayed
we'll behind for they had great re-
spect for bear with such a healthy
appetite. The chase led up the
mountain and across the South
Fork valley a half mile below G. l..
Siple's while the firing grew heavier
and the last three hundred yards OF
the chase resembled a pitched
battle. Grover Siple, Samuel Price
and John Leach put on the finish
ing touches to the time of 9, s and
10 respectively, and it is 20 be re-
GREETED that Siple and Price ran
out of ammunition.
The bear hide (unstretched)
measured six feet across the shout

tail. Now, Mr.. Editor, it'may be

ROMAN. ROAD BUILT TO LAST
Parts of Magnificent MarbIe-Paved
Highway Across Macedonia Are
Still Passable as in Days Past.

We do not know how Neapolis look.
ed in Paul's time, though it must have
been place of some considerable i'm
portance, since the great Egnatian
Way, splendid road paved with mar
BILE, and which stretched all the way
from Rome to this outermost boun-
dairy of Macedonia, ended here. This
road, traversing the whole southern
part of Italy, from the Mediterranean
to Brindisi on the. Adriatic, began
again after the interruption, of the
Adriatic at Durazzo; then it went
across the breadth of Macedonia to
Salonica, Apollonia, Amphipolis, Phil
ippi and Neapolis. With all our mod
ern pride in road building, since time
began there has perhaps never been
constructed such a magnificent high
way as this.
After passing some large modern to-
bacco warehouses and some fine homes
belonging to the tobacco magnates, we
came to the edge of the city and faced
a tremendous rock hill, seemingly
composed Of solid granite, on which
not blade of grass or the smallest
shrub could find lodgment. Black and
forbldding is this great mass of rock,
| like the "black hills" Of Montenegro.
Beside the modern road and not more
! than fifty yards away in many places,
the old Roman road was plainly visi-
bile. 1t Is now so out of repair as to
be impossible, and yet in some small
stretches it is as smooth and as well
paved as in the ancient days, though
I saw none of the marble slabs with
! which it is said to have been covered.
| I descended from our ancient chariot
and walked upon some of these stones
! of the old road.-Christian Herald.
