,Messrs. Emmett Moore and James
Turner of Nough entered school
at the Compton, Memorial school
last week.
Prof. D. L. Holtof New Pros
pect and better known as the
author of the Immortal Thirteen"
was in our village last week.
Prof. Creek Rollins, who is
teaching a singing school at Hart
ford, visited homefolks Sunday.
Robert Ball of Bluffton was
numbered among the classes in
our Sunday School, the 18th.
The School Improvement Lea
que met on the 80, ultimo, and
fixed a date for the citizens to
come in and work on the school
grounds and when the time came
for the work to begin twenty
eight men were seen with all
kinds of tools that it takes to
make a model school ground.
This did not compose the whole
of the work-hands, for Miss viola
Compton, our superintendent, as
sisted by more than eighteen
women and children did a fine job
in identifying the grounds. One
year ago, the spot where now
stands one of the best school
buildings in Cooke county, was a
dense forest, but by the untiring
efforts of our superintendent this
spot of ground has been changed
into one of the prettiest campuses
in the county and a school build
ing that is not surpassed by any
institution in East Tenn.
Creed Baker, who has been in
our community visiting relatives
for some time and investigating a
salt peter mine, has traced, he
says this ore from the head of
Cripple Creek across the
mountain to the home of j. V.
Rollins, where, he claims, is a
greater per cent pure than at the
former place. 1t is rumored that
he has taken an option on a Miss
Grigorys property" and will pro-
coed to make complete invest-
cation at an early date. 1t is also
rumored that Mr.. Rollins will as
sist the mineralogist in his investi-
cation as he is an expert in the
same kind of mineral that Mr..
Baker is interested in.

majority, but in the senate was
defeated, % to Is. The same bill
will be introduced in the house,
probably this week, and its pass

conflicting claims as to the atti-

Present-Day Humor.

Taken all in all the humor of the
present day is remarkable for two
qualities, one is it's cleanness, the
other is it's optimism. Most of the
professional humorists are profession
al optimists, and choice words Of
cheer are due to most OF those who
enter into such eager rivalry to tickle
the public ribs-and there are dozens
of them, ticklers as we'll as ribs.

Fifty Trucks to Garry COmmissa-
ries for the Military.
Should Greece be drawn into the Eu-
ropean war. an American motor car
company viii supply the first fleet Of
motor trucks made in America for use
in the greatest war Of the worlds his
tory.
Hi excelIency. Agaemmon Schlie-
mann, Grecian minister 10 the United
States, has placed his official signature
on an order for so one and one-half
ton American made trucks 10 be deliv-
cred in New York for transit TO Greece
the middle OF September. The factory
has put on an extra night force Of men
10 fulfill its contract
The trucks are intended for the COM
missary department OF the Greek army.
Greece is evidently determined TO be
fully prepared for any eventually,
whether il be merely localized warfare
against the Turks, or broader paruci-
patton in the general European strug-
gle.
The order is especially interesting on
account Of the important part which
motor driven vehicles are already play
ing in the war. In fact aside from
there is no new feature OF the modern
plan OF warfare attracting more atteu-
tion than the work of motor trucks
The GLASSES Of the trucks are stand
ard in every respect. the same as are
being used in many branches OF Ameri-
can business Each truck weighs 400
pounds, has a tread OF 81 II inches. a
wheel base Of 1@2 inches. and SO horse
power motor with a I IL inch bore
and Ia inch stroke. The tires are
solid II is equipped with a standard
stake body with l0x5-5 clear loading

VALUE Of GOOD
R0AD5APPARENT.
Railroad Magnate Says the
Country Must Realize
it and Build Them.

Regarding the public roads as an in
dispensable part Of the transportation
system Of the country, experimenting
its railroads and waterways, president
Harrison of the Southern Railway com
pauv. takes an active interest in the
good roads movement He is vice
president Of the American Highway
association and viii be one Of the
speakers at the Fourth American Road
congress in Atlanta, the week Of No
vember g.
Speaking Of the relation Of the coun-
try highway 10 the railroad, Mr. Har-
rison said Whatever may be the
final destination Of the farm products.
their first movement must be over the
country road and il the farmer is 20
receive the largest measure Of benefit
from good roads the policy should be
adopted OF Improving those high ways
which radiate from market towns and
shipping stations and over which the
farmers must haul their products. The
profit which viii be earned by the
farmer may depend largely upon the
condition OF the road from his farm 10
a shipping station. Statistics COM
piled by the L. $. department Of agri-
culture show that the cost OF hauling
farm products TO shipping points over
bad roads is lsproporuonately large
part Of the total expense or their trans
pOrtatiOn TO market
This is not always fully realized by
the farmer. but if he viii take into
account the time Of himself and his
team. and the wear aud tear on his We
hicle and harness made necessary by a
larger number OF trips with smaller
loads. he viii find that the cost mounts
up very fast and correspondence re-
duces his net profits. Another item
of the cost of bad roads TO the farmer
which is often overlooked. is that he
must haul his products to markets when
the roads are not in their best condi-
tion with little regard as to whether
prices are favorable or whether haul
ing at that time interferes with work
on the farm With good roads he can
not only haul heavier loads in shorter
time but. except as to perishable com
modities. he can market his products
when prices are most favorable and
can do his hauling when il is most con-
venient and even when the ground IS
too wet for work in the fields
The manifold advantages Of an I'M
proved highway in reducing the cost
Of drayage. facilitating social inter
course, promoting school and church at
tendance, expediting rural mail deliv-
cry. increasing the value Of farm lands,
and promoting agricultural develop
ment back from the railroads are so
great that they need but TO be enum-
Grated TO present a convincing argu-
ment in favor OF road Improvement"

Girl Tells Landlady
'I'lI Be Gone Tomorrow"
Then Attempts Suicide

Annie Berazo, the seventeeen-year
old girl who attempted suicide yes
terday was reported TO be doing
nicely today at ST. Barnabass Hos
pital, and her recovery Is looked for.
She came from Galicia, in Austria,
about a year ago, and went to board
with the family of Mrs. Tessie Tres
zenza. at 217 Court street. She has
been out of work for some time and
has run into debt, although her
father boards with family next door
to where the girl lived.
Last week Annie found a temporary
job in a West street restaurant, and
got 81 in cash, besides her meals, for
three days work. With part of the
dollar she bought a shirtwaist, and
dlspleased Mrs. Treszenza, who
wanted her to apply the money to
her debt for board.
After some words the landlady told
Annie that she would have to go to
some other place to live, but, at the
girls request, gave her permission to
remain one more day.
"Fll be gone tomorrow the girl
promised.
Then she went to the drug store Of
Jacob Simelson, at sc West street.
and with what was left of the dollar
bought oxalic acid crystals Return
ing TO her boarding place, she took
the poison in the parior where she
was found by Mrs. Treszenza. who
summoned aid.

problems that are now confronting
us.
II have made and shall make no
promise or pledge, except the pledge
that If elected to the high office of
mayor of Newark, | will do my duty
as I see 1t, without fear or favor
L appeal to every Republican voter
to come out at the primaries next
Tuesday and cast his ballot for the
candidate he believes to be the most
deserving of his vote.
SHOULD the choice fall upon some
one other than myself, he will, as the
nominee of the party, receive my
hearty support
Former Judge Raymond declared
himself in this way:
Candidate Raymond's Address.
II appear before you as a regular
for the nomination for mayor of New
ark" said former Judge Raymond in
his speech, If ] am nominated and
e.acted, l shall become the independ-
ent mayor Of this city.
ut is very unfortunate that our
party was not permitted to make its
nominations in a contest where each
candidate had a fair field with no
favor. This was the promise of the
chairman of the county committee at
the opening OF the primary campaign
l. was relied upon not only by me
but by many other candidates for the
various nominations TO be made by
the people at the coming primaries.
"Since that, four men. connected
with the county committee, but not
in any sense representing it in
authority, have undertaken to put
forth sample ballot, appearing to
be complete ticket, marked paid for
by the treasurer Of the county COM
mittee with the county committees
address appended.
81 wish here to say that [ have a
perfect and abiding faith in the fair
ness, Judgment and discrimination of
the members of the county committee
in this city, and in the Re-
publican voters of this city. be-
lieve that they will not tolerate dicta~
tion from unauthorized persons. We're
it not that I felt this firm convic-
ton | would not be making my cam
vass for the nomination for mayor
of this city. 1t would be wasted en-
ergy and lost time.
NEARLY all the candidates who
have not been O. KID by these four
men have put forth a written protest
over their names, for the purpose OF
clear to the members of the
Republican organization and the Re-
publican voters at large, the injurious
of putting forth such a
ballot as I have mentioned"
