BILL OF GRAFT.

Editor News:
/ noticed in your last issue a bill has
been offered in the legislature to al
low the county court to issue one hun-
bred thousand dollars in bonds for
road construction, and after careful
reading Of the bill, am sorry to say
that, If passed. it would be bill Of
graft
In the first place the bill has two
many officers to be paid ont OF the
money appropriated. and too many
roads designated to be improved.
In the second place, | am opposed TO
the issuance of more bonds for the
purpose of road Improvement, with
the exception of about $40, 600 for the
Dixie highway and then on condition
that it come down the mountain az
Sequachee, and pass thru Jasper. and
on by way of Rankin's Ferry 90 CHAT
tanooga The farmers have about as
much as they can stand in the way OF
paying tax on bonds that wore issued
some years back for road improve
ment. The money was practically
wasted. l remember being a member
Of the county court at the time OF the
construction of the pike. that all the
orders of the court in trying to safe
guard the construction we're wholly
disregarded. and finely fell upon the
plan of "You tickle me and | Will
tickle you" am sorry to say this,
but, never theless it is true. l have
always stood for good roads, and do
yet, if we could keep the CRATER out.
am also opposed to raising our
County Judges salary until his time
is out. Then let the next candidates
come asking an increase. ! think our
present county judge is good man,
and one whom have high regard for.
If the bill to bond the county by leg
islative act passes hope the county
court will vote to kill the bill, and
look we'll to the interest Of all the
people.

Very large delegations from the up

day morning and evening to attend
the Dixie Highway meeting in Chat
tanooga today. Grim determination
was expressed on the countenances OF
all to have that highway or bust a
sprocket. The unanimously feeling
in Marion county over the choice OF
route, has done much to injure
Marion's chances for getting the High
way. It's too bad that Marion coun-
ty cannot get the get-together feeling
and one section assist another towards
prosperity.

The idea of making the Dixie high
way route thru this county fifty miles
long is not being viewed with pleas
ure by vehicle drivers and taxpayers.
An automobile is nuisance in the
eve of the average vehicle driver, ex-
cepting those who, may be licking
their chops anticipating damages.
Hence the policy that most people are
demanding now is for the Dixie High
way to pass thru this county but get
out of it as soon as possible. and not
let the agony be extended. Then II 1t
does go thru the county, build good
roads to it.

The TROUBLE WITH FEEDING
BEEF CATTLE THIS YEAR
(By r. NJ. Murphy, Division Of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)

(By r. NJ. Murphy, Division of Exten-
sion, University of Tennessee.)
A number of .hings are getting the
blame for the low prices of beef cattlo
this year. No attempt will be made to
say which of them deserves it the
most-it really doesn't matter to the
feeder The thing that concerns him
is that he is losing money. A great
many feeders have lost money this
past winter, because the prices were
lower than they had promise of going.
They had expected them to be higher
than ever before, and felt, therefore,
they were justified in paying more for
their feeders than ever before. Occa-
sionally the Spectator strikes it rich,
and Just as often he loses. The whole
trouble with the feeding of this past
winter was in the fact that cattle were
weighed in at too high price. True,
partly because there was scarcity,
but mainly because the Spectator
thought he saw chance to make
big profit. Feeders sold as high as
INC, plus a dollar, and there were
punches of finished cattle this spring
willing to go for that same price. A
margin is necessary fo@ profit, ordin-
arily about 11ac. The feeder has no
control over the market but he should
certainly look more carefully after
the cost OF his feeders. Feeder steers
can be grown for 51ac. II the average
feeder had weighed his steers in at
51hc this past fall, there would be
heard much less complaint at low
prices.
Following Is quite a conservative
estimate Of cost Of producing a feeder

2 lbs cotton seed meal. .$l0.o0

With feeder steers at 513c, the reed'

Tory: Whats tsat?" said she. He
answered. AN Irish rebel" Oh. dread
full that any in England dare espouse
that interest. I hear further since that
this is the distinction they make in
stead Of Cavalier and Roundhead. Now
they are called Tories and Wings,
the former wearing red riband,
the other a violet Thus men be-
gin to commend war. The former
is an Irish title for outlawed per-
sons, the latter a Scotch title for
fanatics or dissenters. and the Tories
will hector down and abuse those they
nave named Wings in London and else
where frequently.
The origin of the term Whig may be
left for the present. 1t is not less curl
Gus than that of Tory. and is of Scotch
origin. Here it is more to the purpose
to set DR.. Johnson's wise definitions
wise in their day. of both terms
against those which have been already
quoted:
A wise Tory and wise Whig, I be-
l1eve. will agree. Their principles are
the same though their modes of think
ing are different. A high Tory makes
government unintelligibIe; it is lost in
clouds. A violent Whig makes it i'm
practicable: he is for so much liberty
to every man, that there is not power
enough to govern any man. The preju-
dlce or the Tory is for establishment; :;
the prejudice of the Whig is for inno-
vation. A Tory does not wish to give
more real power to government, but
that government should have more
reverence. They differ as to the church.

The Origin of Some Political Nick

From T P.'s Weekly.
It would be interesting to know how
many of the Oxford undergraduates
who have just formed themselves into
the Junior Tory Club, with view to
| helping the Conservative party, knew
the origin and true meaning OF the
word Tory. Their formal revival OF 1t
in the name Of their new club Is inter-
esting, because this designation has
long passed into merely colloquial use'
yielding place to the modern ''Conserv-
ative." In any case 1t was always
title rather given than assumed, ana In
the light Of its origin this Is not dlfh-
cult to understand. For the original
meaning of Tory is an Irish outlaw
The word is thus defined in Bailey's
universal chronological English Die
tionary" of 1881:
Tory, a word first used by the Prot
estants in Ireland to signify those
Irish common robbers and muroerers
who stood outlaw'd for robbery or muir
der: now a nickname given to such as
call themselves high church men or to
the partisans of the Chevalier de ST.
George.
Actually the word Tory in this sense
is derived from the Irish word toree'
meaning GlVe me NouT llloHcS.
But Bailey's definition is a compare
lively late. one after all. for the word
Tory as a political party appellation
came into use in the reign OF Charles
II. Lingard's account of it is as fol-

is derived from toringhim. to pursue
for the sake of plunder. The name
was given to certain parties in Ireland,
who, refusing to submit to Cromwell,

says, in 1851:
