To Be Elected at
April Term Court
Several Prominent Citizens HaUe Been
Suggested as Candidates

Who will be pike commission.
ers2"
This is question that is agitatinG
the minds of Blount countains just
now, and all with whom we have
talked agree that the best men
available should be chosen.
The pike commissioners are to be
selected at the April term of court.
Several names have been suggested
and several candidates are reported
to be in the field. Thos. L. Nuchols
and Joe Waters. of Maryvillc, are
prominently spoken of as favorites
of the voters If the central part of
the county. Mr.. Nuchols has a
strong following, as has also Mr..
Waters, and each is a formidable
candidate,
These gentlemen are both mem.
bers of the Baptist church of Mary.
vile. Mr.. Nuchols is a graduate of
Maryville college, a farmer and
director in the First National Bank.
He opposed the issuance of bonds
for building pixies, not because he
does not believe in good roads. but
he believed better choice could
have been made in the selection of
roads to be piked. Mr.. Nuchols does
not aspire to be a commissioner,
and if he enters the race he will do
80 because of the solicitation of
friends.
J. G. Gillenwaters. of the Niles
Ferry Pike, who was pike COM
missioner in Greene county when
half million dollars was spent in
that county for pixies, has been sug-
gested as one of the most valuable
men who could be put on the board.
However his attitude toward the
suggestion is not known.
john BRENT, Of FriendsvilIe, has
been mentioned as candidate to
represent the lower end of the

Fifteen of the nineteen carriers of the
county have joined the association and it is
expected the names of the etbers will be
added soon. Members are: Robt. L. Hen.

The carriers took advantage of Washing.
tons birthday to get together, and most
enjoyable time was spent. At noon the
carriers were served dinner at the Mary

I in the county court room. Various advan-
tages that will acrue to carriers as a result
of organization and cooperation, were
dis cussed. Ire Rural Letter Carriers are
am ong the most impor ant servants of the
public and their work and their efforts
should be more highly appreciated by those
VIII ON they serve. Parties on various rural
70 utes should see that their boxes are con-
veniently. and properly arranged so that the
carriers need lose no time in depositing
mail. These men visit hundreds of boxes
daily, and if one minute were lost at each
box because it is not properly erected, hours
would soon be consumed tor lack of CO.
operation Of parties served.
Parties who leave letters or parcels in
boxes to be mailed by the carrier, should
always leave the exact amount of change, as
the carrier cannot stop to count the pennies
before he resumes his onward journey.
DO everything you can to help the men
who bring your mail to you daily. We
have not yet known postman or carrier
who did not greet with a happy "good
morning" and pleasant smile, those whom
he serves. And one who does this is worthy
of our cooperation end assistance.
The Rural Letter Carriers association
will meet semi-annuully on May 80 and
September 1.

administration, while still In his
teens, and while that has been
several years ago, he learned many
things that will serve him well as
postmaster of the present great
Maryville. Mr.. Gates served as
clerk in the pension Office in Knox
vile for four years, during the
second administration of President
Cleveland. Thus he has Jared well
under the administration of demo.
cratic presidents who have served
since he was a child, and it is
patural for him to hope that he
shall live long enough for another
democratic president to occupy the
white house for each subsequent
appointment has been little bit
better, and fancy can only point
out to him what other good appoint
ments might come his way if demo-
cratic presidents should have the
opportunity to continue making
them.
After quitting the pension Office
in Knoxville, Mr.. Gates returned to
Maryville and began the practice Of
law. He is recognized as one Of
the brightest members of the local
bar, and he had the endorsement of
the entire membership of the state
supreme court, also of local attorneys
and judges of Tennessee courts for
the appointment.
Mr.. Gates was elected a member
of the Blount county court in 1909
to fill out the unexpired term of s.
L Jones, and was elected in 1912
for full term of six years. In his
last election he received one of the
largest majorities ever given a can
didate in Maryville.
AS a member of the county court
Mr. Gates has made a record to
which he can point with pride. He
has been leader in every progress.
sive movement, and introduced in
The court the resolution which was
adopted providing for the
issuance, of 100000 in pike road
bonds. He was leader in the
and worked diligently for
he passage of that measure, He
1as also been active in the interest
If better schools.
Mr., Gates was married to Miss
Neppie Hannum. daughter OF Capt.
W. Y. G. Hannum, of Maryville,
md he and his happy family reside
IN High street.

1t will soon be Postmaster Gates

| 1t will soon be Postmaster Gates
Last Wednesday afternoon. Pres
ident Woodrow Wilson sent to the
United Sta es Senate for confrma,
ton, the nomination of James M
Gates, Esq, OF Maryville, to be the
towns postmaster. He will sue.
ceed M. H. Edmondson. who has
served a little more than four years.
Mr.. Gates will take charge of the
office within the next few days.
Mr.. Edmondson says he will go
to his farm and follow the peaceful
pursuits of the tiller of the soil.
Since the announcement of his
nomination. Squire Gates, or Jim"
as he is known to his fellowtowns-
men, and which appellation he likes
best, has been showered with con.
gratulations. And that his appoint
ment is popular is proven by the
fact that Fluctuations are coming
from hundreds in every walk of life,
Senator Luke Lea, who rec ommend
ed to President Wilson the nominal.
ion of Mr.. Gates, has endeared
himself to his admirers in Blount,
and it is said that no man could
have been named who would have
been more satisfactory to the general
public than Mr.. Gates, and the
Senator's friends congratulate him
upon his choice. Mr.. Gates is
known perhaps to every voter in
Blount county. If he is not, it is
no fault of his for he has tried to
know every body, and he never
forgets those whom he meets. He
has been resident of Maryville
practically all of his life, and while
he hesitated to tell just how long
that has been, elders who were here
ere his first whimpers of babyhood
were heard, say he has resided in
Maryville since 1869
Mr.. Gates is the youngest son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. T. Gates, Sr.,
TWO of the best known and most
highly respected citizens of Mary
vile and Blount county. He was
porn on June IA, 1869. Upon
graduating from Maryville college,

Tit for Tat.

Recently, between Hays and Russell
two men were travelling in Ford car
when they unfortunately got stuck in a
mud hole. A farmer opportunely came
along with wagon and team and oblig-
ingly, with the help of his team, soon
had the car on dry ground. When ask
ed what his charges were for his help,
he calmly replied $500. The travelling
men protested vigorously but the farm
er remained obdurate and they paid him
the $500. 1t is ''long lane that has
no turn" and retribution is sometimes
swift. The farmer climbed back into
his wagon which was pretty heavily
loaded, and went on his way rejoicing,
while his victims remained behind to
clean the mud off their car. The farm
er had proceeded on his way only a few
hundred yards when a large barrel of
oil he had on his wagon, rolled off onto
the ground and he could not get it back
alone, so when the car caught up
with him he asked the men to help him
which they readily did, and then it was
his time to kick when the men charged
him $500 for helping him reload the
barrel of oil. He kicked and roared
Justify and refused to cash up, until ne
was finally told If he did not shell out
he would get the worst thrashing he
ever had in his life, then he produced
the fine.

The West Indian Aid Association,
being ever mindful that the public is
its friend, have at great cost and care
secured the original god of the great
Hottentot tribe of South Africa, as
one of the special features at their
free picnic This immense idol was
supposed to have been made about
the fourth or fifth century of the
Christian era. No single feature of
any picnic, in any state has ever ap-
preached it in Importance. As work
of art it is without doubt the greatest
production of the old and ancient
Ethiopians who lived in the days of
the proud queen of Sheba.
We hope that an immense con-
course of our people will visit the pic
mic park at Shellmound on August 2,
to view this great and marvellous relic
of ancient negro antiquity.
