AOOS|ER-L D-TO-DIXIE ROAD
c. {. James, Of Chattanooga, Proposes
to Give $4,000 and Furnish the
Survey.

For some time articles have been ap-
pearing in the Chattanooga papers rel
ative to proposed highway from
Louisville to Atlanta via Crossville and
Chattanooga. e. E. James, of Chatta-
nooga, now proposes to give $50. 900
and furnish the survey. provided the
road is built via Crossville and his ia
nous Signal Mountain Inn on top of
Waldens Ridge.
The distance from Crossvllle to the
Signal Mountain boulevard is about
sixty miles and that is the distance
that Mr.. James proposes to furnish the
survey and contribute his $50, 900 to
help construct same.
Much interest has been aroused in
Louisville, Chattanooga and Atlanta
over the proposed road, but whether
or not that enthusiasm will bring forth
fruit remains to be seen. If the mat
ter is presented to Cumberland county
in such way as to insure completion.
it is not unreasonable to suppose our
people would be willing to lend aid to
the extent of bonding the county for
reasonable sum.

TRADE EXPANSION.
Southern Cotton Mills After South
American Trade.

Great opportunities for expansion OF
the cotton trade with the South Amer
lean countries are open now that the
European mills have been curtailed and
a number Of Southern cotton mills are
taking active steps to capture gener-
Gus share of this trade. declares
Charles Lyon Chandler, South Ameri-
can Agent of Southern Railway, who
calls attention to the following inter-
estirg figures:
OF the $l4, 900, 900 of cotton goods
imported by Chile in 1912, only $770, 900
came from this country. Germany,
whose trade is now cut off, supplied
"a. 400. GOO, and Great Britain the rest.
In the same year, Argentina bought
$35. 700, 900 Of which SIS. 527. 0OO came
from Germany, over $17, 600, 900 from
England and only $445, 300 from this
country. IF the SIS, 600. OoO OF cotton
goods imported by Brazil. $3.50, 900
came from Germany, $ll, ,O00,0 from
England. ana only $685. 900 from this
country. Figures in regard to wooden
goods and cutlery into the South Amer
lean countries show similar oppor-
tunity.

POSTOFF|CE ROBBED,
BUT VERY LITTLE
LOOT SECURED
Safe Blown and Ruined, Windows Shat
tered But Less Than Seven Dollars
In Cash Secured While S35
In Safe Not Found

Wednesday morning about one
O'Clock the Crossville postoffice was
robbed for the second time within
about two months. The thief secured
$6.77 in cash and as 100 one cent
stamps were missing when the Office
was checked up by the inspector, the
thief is credited with having taken
them. There is no clue to the thief.
Entrance was effected by forcing
open the front door. The thief smash
ed a window to the front door of the
r. r. Dunbar hardware store and took
brace, plow point, piston rod of .
moving machine, single barrel shot
gun and some shells. The gun and
shells have not been found, but the
other tools were left in the postoffice.
1t Is thought the thief secured the pow
der for blowing the safe from some of
the high-power shells he took from the
hardware store.
The thief knocked off the handle to
the safe door anti then injected the ex-
plosive. The safe door was blown off
and struck an ilcn post that supports
the ceiling in thr center OF the room
and moved it several inches at the hot
tom. The wall of the safe was broken
so lady that tiss 'safe is worthless
Asils 4. o.ss v 1.erking the safe the en-
plosion shattered the window IN the
rear end OF the room into hundreds Of
pieces and one of the top windows in
the trent was blown out.
Another smaller safe stood near, in
which there was S35. 90 in cash, but it
was not disturbed.
Stamps and stamp books strewed the
floor but very few stamps were dam
aged. The charge Of explosive was far
stronger than necessary and the explo-
sion was heard by both w. G. Keyes
and Miss Fannie DeGolia. Mr. Keyes
came out on to the porch of his hotel,
but as he saw no one returned to bed
without investigating. Miss DeGolia
looked from the window of her room
and saw light flashing on the post
office window. hut thought it was some
person with lantern going to meet
the night train, which was due shortly.
All things considered the work 10
thought to have been done by some To-
,ai person, but no arrests have been
made.
When the office was robbed before
nearly $1,5O0 was taken in cash and
stamps less than 5000 was cash. All
vas secured and the thief arrested the
next day. He VII be tried at the next
,erm of federal court at CookevIle and
bids fair for term in the federal pris-
IN at Atlanta.

formed, for a reasonable price.
j. B. johnson was present and statet
that he owned large quantity Of rock
about mile east of Crab Orchard anC
that he would give the county the priv
ilege of using all it wanted tor a period
of three years. If at the end of three
years satisfactory agreement could
not be reached. he would agree to buy
the plant at appraised value. This
generous action on the part of Mr..
Johnson was highly pleasing to all
present as was the generous action OF
Mr.. Wheeler. at Grab Orchard.
When the matter of buying the ma
chinery was put to vote it was unani-
nous in the affirmative.
1t was urged by Judge Snodgrass
that all needed land be bought outright
and that will be considered by the COM
mittee.
While the court and the people pres
ent seemed to favor the purchase the
court specified that all should hang on
low freight rate to all points in this
county. The feeling is general that
the Tennessee Central railroad will
give favorable rate.
From a talk made by J. E. Converse,
state agricultural experimental agent,
it Is clear that ground lime tor our
farmers means a marvellous crop in
crease and improvement in our farms.
This means great inducement to home
seekers to buy our cheap lands for
farms.
All in all. it promises more for the
future growth and development of this
county than any thing that has arisen
since the railroad was built through
the county. 1t will revolutlonize farm
ing and make two blades of grass
grow where one grew before.

DORMITORY PROPERTY.

l 4 "a
/ The question OF purchasing propert.
to be used as High School dormltory
was brought to the front by the report
of the committee chosen at the October
term to investigate the various proper
ties offered%
The majority reported favored the
purchase of the Spring Lawn, owned
by H. R. Webb and now being used by
the High School for dormitory pur-
poses.
E. G. Toilet offered his residence
and 18 acres; J. H. Beeson cottage
and II acres opposite the ball ground !:
G. &. Black offered his farm of rs
acres.
Esq. e. L. Deatherage brought IN a
minority report favorable to the pur-
chase of the Beeson property, in case
any purchase was made. He did not
favor the purchase of any property at
this time.
Judge e. f. Snodgrsss made very
urgent talk in favor of the purchase Of
one of the properties, but expressed
no preference.
The court seemed to agree with the
main idea advanced by Judge Snod-
grass: That we provide for the present
and leave future needs and conditions
to determine future actions. The vote
stood seven to five for purchase of the
Webb property for $1,000; $500 cash
and $500 year with notes at SIX per
cent. Those who voted mo-" were:
s. N. Smith, G.. l.. Deatherage. j. A.
Frey. J. H. Henry and A. M. Davis.
Those voting Yes were: Jere Nor
row, D. W. Lundy. T.. H. Mccoy, G.
H. Sells, T. s. Randolph. J. T. Ash

GROUND LIME.
The question of furnishing ground
lime for the farmers and also have
machine that will crush rock fSr our
roads was taken up.
Judge &. r. Burnett reported that !
such a machine. with power to ruu it.
conld be purchased for 1,5l4.50 set up
at Crab Orchard ready for work. The
machine is guaranteed to make two
tons an hour of ground lime and three
and half tons of broken stone.
ESQ. e. L. Deatherage reported that
e. j. Wheeler, at Crab Orchard, agreed !
to give to the county free consider
sble quantity of lime rock opposite the
Crab Orchard Inn and along the line of
the L. e. He further reported that
the rocky point in front of Grab Orch

PROF. HARRY CLARK.

Prot. Harry Clark, of the state uni
verslty, addressed the court shortly
before noon and commended them
highly for the splendid High School
they had fostered. He said We had the
best High School in the state and that
the county superintendent had put such
vigor into his work that his efforts,
coupled with the assistance rendered
by the High School faculty, had en-
thused and awakened the rural schools
as never before.
He spoke of he large immigration
that is almost s''co to come to this Sec
tion at the close of the war. He
warned our peopie that they must pre-
pare to face very keen competition and
urged that every thing possible be done
in our schools to prepare our young
peorie to meet the test that will lay
before them. y s

LIGHTNING THE FARM
WOMAN'S WORK

We can greatly lessen the work in
the house by doing away with the un-
necessary part of it. For example,
where there ere no modern conven-
fences in the home, and where the
water has to be brought from "a well,
have you ever taken the trouble to
measure the distance from the well
to the kitchen, and multiply that by
two, and that by the number of days
in the year? You would probably
be mazed at the number of miles she
has travelled in the year, just to bring
water to the house. You will then
probably seriously consider whether
you had not letter put in a water
system in the house, as we'll as for
the live stock.
Is the house so planned that she
can do the work which the wife or
some one else must do, with the mini
mum of steps, the minimum of stoop-
ing, and the minimum of lifting? Is
it not possible to run the washing
machine by SOM kind of power; or
is it possible tn form a cooperative
laundry in connection with your
creamery? If the farmer is so sit
uated that he can have electricity,
why not an electric washing machine,
an electric flat-iron, and a vacuum
sweeper?
I konw as well as a man can how
wearying is some women's work. I
know a good deal about the car of
children, for I have had a good deal
to do with them in my time. But
even drudgery is better than no work
at all, and no home. No amount of
care of children in sickness and in
health, compares with the desolation
of the childless home. I saw one
childless woman the past summer,
who, to put in her time, not only kept
her house so Immediately clean
that it was uncomfortable, but actu-
ally swept the street in front Of her
house every morning in the year!
Work is often wearisome, but the
WEAKNESS of it is nothing compared
to the WEAKNESS of the man or wo-
man who has nothing to do, no one
to work for or to love.-Uncle Henry
in Wallace's Farmer.

There is an unusually large crop OF
figs in this section this year, and
York county housewives can doubt.
less use the following recipe to adj
vantage: Beat to a cream n cup
full of butter and two cupfuls white
sugar. Add two eggs we'll beaten
and one teaspoonful of baking pow.
der sifted with enough flour to per-
nit easy rolling. Roll them and
cut out in any desired shape. Wet
the edges, place a t~easpoonful of fig
filling on n side of the shape. turn
over the other half, press edges to.
gether and bake about 10 minutes in
a hot oven. To make the filling,
add to two cupfuls of figs, chopped
fine, one cupful white sugar and one
half cupful water. Boil thirty min
utes, cool and use.-Yorkville En-.

STRATEGY OF TODAY
NOT LIKE LONG AGO

Budapest, July 20.-(Correspon-
dence)-A Budapest newspaper
publishes an interview with General
,on Buelow in which he discusses the
difference between the presen cam
raign in Russia and that of Napol-
con in 1912.
"It has been remarked" said the
general, "that the present strategy of
he Russians is the same as that
which proved effective against Napol-
Con. Such strategy was effective then
hut not now when means Of COM
munication have been so much i'm
proved. The bread which our SOL
diers eat today in Windau was taked
in Breslau yesterday.
"In times when a railway is being
built a mile behind the advancing
forces, when thousands of motor lor-
res are close behind US; when asphalt
roads grow, as it were, out of the
earth, no such strategy is effective.
We drink German mineral water and
eat fresh meat direct from Berlin and
can build a road, if necessary, SO
niles long in one day."

KAISER REFUSES TO
YIELD IN FRYE CASE

Washington, Aug. g. Germany
will not accede to the request of the
United States by keeping the Frye
case out of a prize court. This it was
learned on high authority this after
noon, in substance is what the latest
communication to the United States
from Germany says. The note, which
was sent in sections, was all in the
State Departments hands this after
noon.
Germany reafhrms her position
that she is compelled to submit the
case to a prize court, it was learned.
The claim of the United States that
under an old treaty with Prussia the
case should be settled without court
proceedings is denied.
State Department officials do not
regard the note as bringing OF a crit
ical situation. 1t was believed the
United States would make further
representations in an effort to keep
the case from a prize court.

London, Aug. 2.-Foreign Minis
ter Basonoff's speech at the opening
of the Russian duma yesterday, as
received mere tonight, limited at a
closer alliance between Japan and
Russia. The final section of the
speech, as t%elegraphed, quoted the
minister as saying the press of both
countries has been discussing the
advantage of a close political union
and that the service of Japan had
''created an atmosphere in which SOL
id political ties between nations are
formed"
"Ten years have gone BY" the
minister said, "since the treaty of
Portsmouth proved that peaceful
reighborliness between Russia and
Japan was possible and reciprocally
advantageous. Our relations of al
lance with Japan today should be
forerunners of still closer alliance"

DEATH OF LITTLE
AGNES GRAVES

Mary Agnes, the three year old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles F.
Graves of the Lebanon section, died
in Greenville Saturday night from
the effect of getting a butter bean
in her windpipe.
Shortly after the little child had
swallowed the bean, DR.. Gambrell
was called. Seeing that an operation
was necessary, the child was carried
to Greenville to be operated on by
DR.. Carpenter, a throat specialist of
that City. While the operation was
in progress the little girl died from
