AGAIN THE TIMES ERRS.

On the first Tuesday in July a dem
| onstration will be made TO induce the
county court to issue 800, 900 in bondl
authorized by the last legislature fol-
expenditure on highway construction
Chattanooga Times.
We dislike to keep on telling the
Times. but the county court will meet
on first Monday of July. July 8. in
stead of first Tuesday. Section 1855,
Code of Tennessee, says: Gan bust
ness in the county court which cannot
be lawfully done by toe county judge
or chairman, shall be done at the quar-.
terly sessions, to be held on the first
Mondays of January, April, July and
October. of each year" There is nc
law in the statutes which says that in
event the 4th of July falls on Sunday,
that the day following shall be legal
holiday. In fact, all the Code says
regarding holidays is embraced in
Section 2793, Code of Tennessee: as
follows; Negotiable paper, fall
ing due on the first day of January,
the fourth Gay of July, the twenty
fifth day of December, or any day APP
pointed by the President of the Uni
ted States or the Governor of the
State, as a day of fast or thanksgiv-
ing, is due on the day previous to such
day unless such previous day is Sun
day, in which case it is due on the
Saturday preceding,
Application to G. T. Williamson,
Judge of the County Court, settles the
question, for he says authoritatively
that he will call the county court in
regular quarterly session in the court
room at Jasper, Monday, July 8, 1915,
at 8 O'Clock.
As to the Demonstration" mention
sd by the Times for bonds, they are
again mistaken, for two. demonstra-
tions have already been made against
bonds, characterized by an eloquent
attorney of the county as "intimida-
ting" The same people and more,
too, will be in Jasper Monday, July
8, to protest against this bond out.
rage, and be a witness to the court
that they do not want it, struggling
as they now are with taxes and hard
times to make a living.
Mentioning the speakers at South
Pittsburg Monday, the Chattanooga
Times says: land Golilbart The lat
ter, who is a resident of Whiteside,
announced that he ent to the meet
ing to oppose issuing the bonds, but
had become convinced nothing reason
able should be neglected to insure the
Dixie highways, construction across
Marion county," We have often won
dered how it was that Squire Golibart
was for the long route in Marion coun-
ty when its building removed all
chance for the future of the road from
Gu attanooga to his home place. He is
awakening to the fact that Whiteside,
which has not been considered so far,
has also an active interest in the Dix
lie Highway. The other squires over
there probably also see this point.
On motion of Mr.. Armstrong, the
county court was unanimously petit
toned to issue the bonds when it
convenes on Tuesday. June g. An.
other motion was passed inviting
President Allison, Vice President
Huston and Director Shook to attend
the county courts meeting as mem
bers of a delegation which will be sent
to present the bond petition. -Chatta-

There it goes again Tuesday, and
this time June 9. Why, you immort-

mean June 8, next year, in which ev-

We object to the word Unanimous

preference, remaining silent.
