( b. N. Smith did some OF his
usual good work on the Lexington
road leading from McLemoresville
to the Memphis to Bristol High
way one day last week. His ex-

in allowing as much Of the road

practical will be appreciated the
entire winter.
Mr.. Smith has this very strik-

notice necessary. There may be

some 90 young men. who are going
through the Bible in a careful and
simple way. Tis not our desire
to even approach any one who is
in any way affiliated with any

ent with perhaps the exception of
two. Judge Wilson Enochs pre-

day, although some pretty lively
discussions were had.
The most interesting fight was
had over a proposition to appro-
pirate $500 to 60 toward paying
for a government farm expert for
the county for the year 1914.
Speeches were made by members
of the court and interested parties
who are not members. The pro-
position lost by vote of II to 80.
During this contest, the court
house was crowded with people,
showing much interest in the pro-
opposition.
The court was called upon to
make some expensive appropria-
tons for bridges, levees and other
expenses Of the county. The
total appropriations amounted to
about $4,000.
A number Of commissioners
we're appointed to have bridge and
leyee work done in the county and
to report at next term of court.
The court passed a resolution,
calling upon the court at ITS Jan
uary term, when it appoints its
committee to make the tax levee
for the county to instruct it TO
make an additional levy of ten
cents on the hundred dollars for
school purposes.

PEABODY COLLEGE
Joint Resolution Of the General
Assembly Of Tennessee

Whereas, it is a matter of deep
concern to the people Of Tennessee
chat the George Peabody College
for Teachers be established on a
substantial financial basis, and
that it successfully perform its
mission in the field of education in
Tennessee and in other Southern
States; and
Whereas, to the original endow-
ment of 81. 900. 10000 contributed
by the Trustees Of the Peabody
Education Fund of New York,
$3.50, 900. 90 by the State of Tenn
essee, 100000 by the City Of
Nashville, and $100,000.O0 by
Davidson county, there has been
subscribed conditionally an adj
ditional $500,0OO.OO by the said
Trustees of the Peabody Educa-
ton Fund of New York aud
$500, 10000 BY divers other per-
sons, the condition being that a
total Of 81. 100000 be raised by
che first day of November, 1913;
and
Whereas, the required amount
of 81, 800, 100000 is short 100000
90 and it seems. probable that the
Officers, and Trustees oftbe George
Peabody College for Teachers will
not be able to secure that amount
and that the whole of the sub
scriptions obtained, amounting to
$1,000, 100000 will be forfeited and
lost to the College and to educa-
ton in Tennessee and in the whole
South; and
Whereas, the University Of
Nashville has in its possession
property and funds amounting to
about $I00,000.0O, which we're in
trusted to it BY the State Of North
Carolina and the State of Tennessee
for the purpose of promoting
higher education and said institu
ton has ceased operation and is
without a site, having conveyed
its grounds, buildings, library,
etc., to the said George Peabody
College for Teachers;
Now, Therefore, Be 1t Resolved
by the Senate and House Of Rep
resentatives of the State of Tenns
essee, that, to the end that the
conditional subscriptions to the
George Peabody College for
Teachers may be saved and not
lost, and that the said College
may be established on a firm
financial foundation, the General
Assembly of the State of Tenn
essee requests the Trustees Of the
University Of Nashville to donate
and contribute said property and
funds to the George Peabody
College for Teachers at Nashville.

that Is "social clubs" have been

These clubs are organized primarily
for the illicit sale Of whiskey, yet the
charter gives the right to do educa-

lift work. Under the law the secre-
tary of state is forced to grant char
ters to such organizations, even
though he knows they are virtual
blind tigers. R. M. McCown, secre-
tary of state, has repeatedly called

SON DEALS DEATH
TO JOHN DOBSON
Will DObson Kills Father Near Pend
leton-Young Boy Wounded
Brother of Slayer Perhaps Fatal
ly Injured by Bullet From Victims
Pistol.

Anderson, July 8.-John Dobson, q
white farmer living on the Pelzer
plantation near Pendleton, in Pick
ems county, was shot and killed late
last night by his 16-year-old son, Will
Dobson. A younger son was desper-
ately wounded by a bullet from the
pistol of the elder Dobson, who re-
turned the fire of Will Dobson. The
younger Dobson is in the local hos
pital and is in a critical condition,
following an operation performed by
DR.. J. C. Harris. Will Dibson has
been lodged in Jail at Pickens.
The tragedy occurred at the home
of John Dobson. He has been over
bearing in his manner toward his
wife and there had been a family
quarrel Sunday. Dobson went to
Pendleton on Monday and on his re-
turn resumed quarreling with his
wife. She sent to the field for her
elder son, and when he came to the
house the attitude of the father and
son became belligerent. Some say
that the first shot was fired by John
Dobson, who was in the yard at the
time.
There was an exchange of shots,
each of the principals being armed
with .38 calibre pistol, and John
Dobson was struck by four of the
five shots fired by the son.
The younger son, Roy Barton Dob
son, aged 13 years, was in the house
with his mother when he was wound
ed by shot from his fathers pistol
The father fell desperately wound
ed and several physicians who were
quickly summoned saw that there
was no chance to save his life. He
died at 2 o'clock this morning.
There was some chance for the
boys life and he was hurried to the
Anderson hospital. The operation
developed that the ball had broken a
rib on the left side and had plowed
its way through the child's body,
puncturing the colon in three places
and otherwise causing a dangerous
wound before leaving the body. The
little fellow was cut almost in two in
the efforts of the surgeon to perform
an operation that would save his life
The perforation of the intestines
would cause death in an older and
less healthy person, but there is said
to be fighting chance for recovery
as he is in fine health.
The trouble, it is said, began when
John Dobson mortgaged some land
to buy an automobile, but as to that
no particulars can be learned here.
The homicide occurred in Pickens
