A PERMANENT
ORGANIZATION NEXT

The sentiment is general in Clio for a
permanent organization of the annual
Clio Home Coming, to have officers
elected annually, and to perfect the or
ganization, to make it self-supporting,
and to add to this and call the same
Clio Home Coming Industrial Exposi-
ton; farmers in the country tributary
to place on exhibition exhibits from the
farm, the merchants and manufacturers
of Clio to do likewise. This creates a
greater interest. 1t gives the permanent
organization opportunity to secure the
best attractions and plenty of time to
advertise the event and a permanent
basis from which to build and work. BY
all means let the permanent organiza-
tion be made. twill serve well to good
end in view, a closer relation between
our farmers, merchants, and manufac-
turers, and systematic cooperation.

not want McNichael to hang around

Good Hope, one at Chucky and one at
Cosby where a building had been
blown down.
Magistrate Click wanted 10 know
what the buildings were to cost and
when told that they would cost six or
seven hundred dollars each, he stated
that the people in the mountains did
not need no colleges, that $3.50 bnild-
ing would be- enough for the thirty
students attending school at his place.
Superintendent McMahan explained
that the Good Hope school was con-
solidation of three schools and that
the seven or eight hundred dollar
house TO be built there woulu house
over hundred students. and toat no
500 houses would be built for thirty
students.
VIM. McMahan of Edwina objected
to the withdrawal of the High School
tax, stating that the citizens of the
eighth district had erected buildings
to the value OF $500 of which the
county had paid $1,000 in order to
maintain high school and that the
withdrawal of the tax would hurt that
school. Dan Myers and J. ID. Hold
way were unanimously elected to the
board of equalization boardfor period
of two years.
Squire Huff called the attention of
the court to the need of one span
bridge across Big Creek, at the Jesse
Stokely mill, stating that it would ac-
comodate great number of people
who could not get to the pike unless
they had the bridge. BY motion it
was agreed to appropriate 81 COO or so
much thereof as needed to build the
one span bridge. A committee COM
posed of M. N. Stokely, ]. N. Jones
and Chairman Kyker was named to

Continued from Page y

representative, G. f. Boyer, for the
part he has taken in trying TO fasten
upon the people Of Tennessee an unfair
and dishonest election law, From his
record and the statements of reliable
parties who have had an opportunity
TO observe his conduct in Nashville,
we believe that for some reason he has
placed himself in the hands of the
liquor interests of the state and is now
the Subservient tool of the lawless ele-
ment of the state. While he boasts
loudly that he is not bossed by anyone
he is clearly self deceived and is now
doing the bidding OF the most tyran-
nous organization thai ever eXiStedin
Tennessee. 1t would be well for him
and his constituents, if he were being
"bossed' by The forces that make for
righteousness and good government.
ii one must be i'bossed' the character
OF The "boss' is most material.
We believe The amendment TO the
election lazy supported by Mr. Boyer
would bring q return OF the condition
which existed in Tennessee prior to
the enactment OF our present election
laws. With the operation ofthe form
er election law MI. Boyer is familiar,
as the practices possible under this
law well nigh cost him the Office OF
sheriff to which he was fairly and.
honestly elected in the year 1908.
A. We commend Governor Hooper
for his fearless~and able stand IN favor
of law enforcement in Tennessee, and
the courage and ability with which he
exposes the plans and purposes. of the
liquor interest and '!graftocrats." We
endorse his position FULLY and promise
him our loyal support in every effort
to bring about better conditions in
Tennessee.
