URGING SIMS TO
SEEK SENATORSH|P
Friends Of Eighth District Congress.
man Bring Strong Pres
us sure to Bear.

A report that has been gain
ing strong foot hold in official
circles in Washington for several
days is that Representative T. w.
Sims, of the Eighth congressional
district of Tennessee will be a
candidate for United States SEN
ator next year.
Mr.. Sims has just returned
from Tennessee and, while he re-
fuses to talk for publication, it is
we'll known that he is being SOL
icited from all parts of his state
to become a candidate for senator.
His friends, in their letters ex-
press confidence that he can win
in both the primary and general
elections. He has been sent to
congress in ten consecutive cleo
tons in the closest Democratic
districtln the state by a vote al
ways in excess of the party vote.
Although Gov. Hooper carried
the Eighth district in the last
election by more than 500 major
ity, Mr.. Sims carried it by a ma
jority of 2,491.
Mr.. Sims friends call attention
to his success in securing the pas
sage of some of the important
nation wide legislation during the
present administration, such as
the act abolishing the Commerce
Court, the repeal of the free tolls
provision of the Panama canal
act, and the enactment of the
Federal trade commission bill, in
which Mr.. Sims played an i'm
portant part.
The movement in his behalf
that has been started in Tenness-
ee has created no little interest
in Washington, where Mr.. Sims
has so long been a national fig
ure.

ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING
BUSINESS MEMS CLUB
Held Monday Night Many Mem
bers Present and Much
Business Transacted.

Three hundred fifty-six invita-
lions were issued to as many B.
M. G. members and a good-natur-
ed set of business men and farm
ers gathered for the purpose of
getting closer together for civic
development.
Upon motion of Mr.. Joel M.
Porter it was voted unanimously
that some movement be made to
secure a boys dormitory for
Grove School.
Owing to the lateness of the
season it was decided best to
postpone the securing of a farm
demonstration until next Febru-
airy, meanwhile the subscription
list will be kept open and all who
are interested can subscribe at
any time for next January pay
ment. The list is in the hands
of Mr.. Joel Porter.
The committee on oiling the
streets reported successful pro-
press and the work of placing it
on the streets has been started.
1t was also reported that others
were subscribing in addition to
the original list in order that oil
might be placed in front of their
places, and the chances are that
quite a number of residences will
have oil on the streets in front
of them. Wherever the citizens
pay for the oil the city will put
it down without cost. Messrs.
JOS. Weinbaum und Joel Porter
are the committee.
The meeting developed the fact
there are fifteen directors in the
club and that some of these had
never attended a meeting and
some had not been paying their
dues. Upon motion of Mr.. John
R. Rison, Jr., the bylaws were
amended calling for seven direc-
tors including the President. It
was also moved to have the Pres
ident appoint nominating COM
mittee for the purpose of nomi-
mating a Blue and Red ticket,
and that these tickets be placed
before the members at once in
order that the annual election of
directors, which should have been
held in January, may take place
the first Monday night in May.
President Freeman placed Messrs
Charles Hastings, Hen. S. P.
Fitzhugh and John R. Rison, Jr.,
on this committee.
1t was decided that every
member who had paid up his dues
should have a vote in the cleo
ton. The nominations will be
named and the two tickets given
due publicity.
Resolutions were read and
adopted condemning the locating
of the state politecnic school at
Cookeville, as this movement on
the part of the state would rob
Grove School of $500 annually.
The Club went on record as
heartily endorsing the forward
religious movement instituted by
all the churches of Paris for the
betterment and uplift of our peo-
pie.
At the conclusion of the bust
ness the members retired to a
unique menu prepared by the
secretary and the ladies of the
Parents Teachers Association.
The Industrial punch or AGO"
was prepared and served by the
gentlemen of the A. Go Manufac-
turing Co., OF Paris.

STATE GETS MILLION
At THREE PER CENT
New York Bank Takes Tennessee
Short Term Notes. Best Deal
Since the War.

acting with the authority of the
State Funding Board, Saturday
afternoon closed a trade with the
National City Bank of New York
at three per cent for the 81, 900,
900 short notes or bonds re-
Gently authorized by the General
Assembly to take care of the de-
ficit which the Rye administra-
ton inherited from it's predeces-
sors. This is the best trade the
state has made on it's bonds since
reconstruction days.
These notes will be dated May
l and mature July l. On the
latter date there will be available
for the retirement of these notes
the proceeds of the S11, 781, 600
bond sale which will be negotiated
shortly. The latter issue will
take care of the entire state debt,
the bonds maturing 0years from
date on a serial basis.
The report of G. A. Ware,
assistant state auditor, made as
of Jan. Is, last, showed deficit
in the state treasury of 81, 022,-
266.31. On April 9, at the meet
ing of the funding board, Treas
urer Dunlap, reported that there
was more than 81, $500 less in
the treasury on that day than on
the same day two years ago, and
more than 100000 less than
on the same day one year pre-
vious. This same report showed
that the remittances from the
county trustees over the state,
which is the principal source of
revenue coming into the states
Golfers, amounted to practically
the same as for several years
previous.
The states outstanding obliga-
tions would wipe out whatever
small balance the state has had
to its credit and show an absolute
deficit.
The rate of interest which the
state will pay for the 81, 600, 600
loan it is floating at this time as
an emergency measure, is so low
that the state will lose nothing.
The money, or whatever part of
it is not Immediately paid out,
will be deposited in Tennessee
banks at interest.
When the news spread in bank
ing circles this afternoon that
the state had contaminated it's
loan at therate of three per cent.
Treasurer Dunlap received many
congratulations from local bank
ers, who had been attempting to
secure so good a bid as the one
accepted. The lowest bid local
bankers were able to secure for
the entire issue of 81, 900, 900 was
four per cent. One banker did
receive a bid for 3 IL per cent
for $751; worth OF the notes.
Another remarkable feature of
the transaction was that Treasure
erDunlap closed the trade without
going to New York, or scarcely
leaving his office at the capitol.
In former times it has been the
fashion for the funding board to
make expensive junketing trips
to the eastern financial centers,
all the expenses coming out of
the pockets of the taxpayers.
Treasurer Dunlap introduced a
new style by remaining in his Of
flee at the capitol, attending to
all routine duties, and at the same
time pushing to a successful con-
clusion this remarkable trade.
In this he has been ably assisted
by w. R. Marshall, the Tullahoma
banker, who was recently elect
ed secretary of the state funding
board to succeed Gen. George E.
Blake.

work, whose messages will com.
bine popular interest with an at
tractive study of permanent val.
ne for all interested in the boy.
/ life of the community.
Ex-senator w. R. Webb who
comes to open the Institute,
needs no introduction to Tennes
see citizens. His experience il
work with boys is we'll known
throughout the South.
