The town of Whitwell was overload
ed Saturday evening and drink ives
all around, and drunken men were
staggering back and forth in public
places. The town is full of bootleg
gels and it is alleged there are some
females operating the bootlegging bus
mess as we'll as the men. The super
intendent of the T. G. Co is to be
credited with the honor of discharging
every man reliably reported to him to
be engaged in the bootlegging bust
ness. Such men are promptly called
to the front and given a dishonorable
discharge. which means you can't
work for the T. G. l Co. and wild
cat or bootleg whiskey. Mr.. Meager
is to be commended on bis action in
Kidding the town of these bootleggers
and upholding the peace and dignity
of the law
Ye writer was out at the stave mill
at Liuey Harris place at the head of
Little Sequachee Cove and found be-
tween 36 and 40 students under the age
of 10 who are not in school. In fact,
those people up there are entitled to
secondary school established by the
Board of Education They are in the
bounds of Marion county, and why
does not the board establish school
out there at once, and put tbose little
children in school, 1t is violation
of the school law Of Tennessee for pa
rents not to send their children to
school, and how can they comply with
the requirements of the law when they
are deprived of the rights of public
school granted them in their locality.
If this is the fault of the Board their
attention is called to look into this
matter. If "a schoolhouse is needed
Burkett Chapel out there is referred
to. If the number it takes to establish
a secondary school has been reported
not sufficient, the informant has made
a false report. Your attention is fur
Their called to investigate and ascertain
the true facts. The number counted
out there was 36 and 1 was not ac-
quainted with all, and there are prob
ably more. Gentlemen of the Board,
l think you ought to give those people
a school. If not, why'no
