GENIUS KEPT IN HARNESS
Writer Interestingly Describes Condl- ton of American Literature Just
 Before Civil War.

George Santayana in the New Re public writes of the stiffness of American literature before the Civil war: Tt would have been an inter esting thing if thunderclap had sud denly broken that cloudless new-world having weather, and if cry of exas- peration had escaped some strong soul, surfeited by the emptiness and blandness of that prim little moral circle that thought it had overcome everything, when in fact it had touched nothing. But to the genteel mind of America, before Walt Whitman and the Civil war, there was no self-re- specting opposition. Of course, in that boundless field of convention, prosper ity and mediocrity any wild poppy might struggle up weedily here and there amid the serried corn. But the irregular genius had no chance. He felt sincerely ashamed of himself. He hid his independence, fled to the back woods or to Europe, and his sad case was hushed up as if it had been in sanity Uor insanity was hushed up tool and buried with a whisper under the vaguely terrible epitaph dissipated. He probably died young; at any rate he never did anything. Whoever was unharn essed was lost"

second election on the pike issue
will cost several hundred dollars.
Another city election will cost a
large sum of money.
1t would be we'll for the citi-
zens of the town to request of
the council, before any checks are
returned to bidders, and anoth-
err election is called, to test the
case before the courts, if neces-
sary, and see who is right and
who is wrong. 1t is waste of
the taxpayers money to hold so
many elections. School houses,
roads, ETC., are too badly needed
to be holding useless elections.
Let the courts decide the matter,
if it has to be decided, and let's
not have another election until
we find out where we are AT.

Cades Cove Needs
Pike Very Badly

Under the resolution providing
for the construction of pixies, and
on which voters will cast their
ballots Saturday, Cades Cove will
be benefited, and get a pike road.
There is no section in the county
more in need of a pike than this
cove. It is inhabited by some OF
the best people in the state, its
hills and valleys are very pro-
ductive, and large quantities of
produce could be marketed if the
farmers had a road over which
they could travel to the center
of trade.

ARGUE LEGALITY
OF WATER BONDS
Successful Bidders Say
Election Was Not Prop
erly Advertised
OTHERS AFTER THEM
Sutherland & Co. Assert
Everything o. X. and
They Want Bonds
OTHERS AFTER THEM

Was the waterworks bond
election held in Maryville last
March, legal?
This is a question which has
been disturbing the minds of Ma
ryvillians for the past several
days. The question has been
raised anent announcement of R.
E. Oliver, successful bidder on
the waterworks bonds, and also
on the construction of the plant,
provided all arrangements could
be properly made, that the issu-
ance was illegal. He bases his
report on the finding of bonding
attorneys who say the election
was not properly advertised.
Mr.. Oliver says he is anxious
to proceed with the work, if it
were not for this technicality
which prohibits the sale of the
bonds.
simultaneously with this an
nouncement, however. comes the
announcement from the Suther-
land Construction Co., of Kansas
City, the other bidders on the
bonds, that they are willing to
take the bonds, for which they
now have a market, and will pay
a premium for them. With this,
say officials of the municipality,
is also a telegram from a large
banking institqapn, which states
lat tn mons@is ready to take
50 the Bonds soon as they can
Vet theA. THTSutherland Con-
struction Co. has had several
men in Maryville who have in
vestigated the issuance and it's
authorization from beginning to
end, and they claim attorneys
have held the issuance absolutely
legal.
The issuance of waterworks
bonds was authorized by the
former board of city councilmen,
which passed an ordinance on
Feb. IL, and which was approved
on Feb. Is, calling an election
and fixing the date. This ordin-
ance was published in The
Times on Feb. Is, more than
thirty days prior to the election,
as called. On Feb. Is, in The
Times, the county board of elect
ion commissioners issued an elect
ion notice, naming officers of
election, etc. This was done
twenty-six days before the elect
ion date.
The waterworks election was
held under the act passed at the
1913 session of the state legisla-
ture. 1t is found in Chapter 80,
and is Senate Bill No. ZAP, as re-
ported in the proceedings of the
legislature. After setting forth
the purposes of the act, and all
formal preliminaries, it says, as
to the election, in Section 2:
That the legislative body OF
any municipality or taxing dis
trict in this state, by ordinance
duly passed on three separate
readings, no two of which shall
be on the same day, provide for
the issuance and sale of bonds
for such purposes as are set out
in Section | of this Act; and such
ordinance shall specify the time
Tor which such bonds shall run,
the object and purpose of such
issuance thereof, the rate OF
interest same shall bear, not to
exceed six per cent per annum,
