Nashville Tobacco Warehouse.
by ]. W. Merr5map,3

Nashville. Tenn. The Tennes-
see Tobacco Warehouse CO., at
Nashville had their usual sale on
Feb. 8, disposing of about 100,
900 pounds of air-cured tobacco
from the Cumberland river dis
trict. All the farmers were well
pleased with the prices received
for the weed. several buyers
from Louisville and other points
in Kentucky were on the floor,
and their coming in competitor
with the Nashville buyers gave a
spirited market. Some of the
buyers on the floor use to buy on
the brakes when Nashville was a
tobacco market 20 years ago.
Mr.. Monroe Gleaves being the
auctioneer brought past incidents
back to our memory that made
US feel glad that our Creator Had
spared US to see another good
tobacco market in our capitol
city.
There is no reason why Nash
vile should not be the best mar
ket in the state, because it is
the only outlet for the tobacco
from Cumberland river, and
there are enough manufacturers
in Nashville to consume all the
tobacco from the Cumberland
river district.
Our market ranged in prices
Monday as follows: Trash Jugs,
IL to ~; best Tugs, III to An;
common leaf, AZ to 81; medium
leaf, 81 to 81; rehandling leaf, 81
to II: good leaf. 81 to 933.~A

It is, indeed, gratifying to note
the interest with which our new
County Superintendent, Prof. E.
L. Huf1nes, enters upon his
duties. Prof. Hufines has been
very active since his election in
visiting the various schools of
the county, and a report of his
visits appearing elsewhere in
the Courier shows splendid
school spirit from each comrnu-
nifty visited. One of the most
pleasing features of his report is
the increase in attendance.
Statistics show that only about
one half of the children of school
age In the county attend school,
and the superintendent, the
teachers and the parents could
do no better work than to exert
a greater influence to the end
that more of the children be en-
rolled in school. Get the child
in school, and the good teachers
(even though they are scantiIy
paid for their work. will do their
best to instruct the child in the
way it should go. It would be
hard to over estimate the value
of education and those who lend
their influence to its advance
ment are doing noble work.
We take pleasure in publishing
the Superintendent's report, and
invite him and others to use the
columns of the Courier whenever
they can in any way promote
the cause of education,

MUST GET LICENSE
TO SELL OPIUM


Beginning March. !, under the
antjnarcotic act. physicians.
druggists. retail and wholesale,
dentists. etc. must register with
United States Internal Revenue
Collector Craig and secure Ii
censes in order that they may
buy and sell opium in any of its
various forms. It is said this
law will effect about 5000 per-
sons and firms in this district.
On December II, 1914, Presi-
dent Wilson approved an act of
congress regulating the manu-
facture. sale and dispensing Of
opium, cocoa leaves or any COM
pound of same. salt or derivative
or preparation thereof, under the
supervision of the internal reve-
nue. department. This act is
commonly known as the Harri-
son bill'' or 'antinarcotic act. z
Hundreds of letters are being
received daily at the Office of
Internal Revenue Collector E. B.
Craig from druggists and physi-
clans making inquiry and seeking
to register under the act. It
seems that almost every practic-
ing physician, dentist and vet
Urinary surgeon in the state, also
each wholesale and retail drug
gist, will be required to register
with the collector and obtain a
license in order that they may
either purchase or dispense
opium in its various forms, on
and after March /, 1915.
Doctors and druggists are re-
quired to obtain a special blank
from Collector Craig or at one OF
his branch Offices, upon which to
make application Tor license.
The act takes effect March /,
and the amount required to be
paid (no more. no less) by each
one registering is "a cents until
June 80 next. Order blanks al
one cent each will also be fur
nished in looks containing ten,
and each person will be limited
to one book until a sufficient sup
ply can be obtained from the de-
partment for larger distribution.
A special department is being
organized by Collector Craig to
handle this matter, and It is ex-
pected that appointments of two
deputies wilIbe made for that
purpose within the next two or
three days.

LET'S IMPROVE OUR ROADS.

sIC is WIFI the very greatest or
pleasure that the. Courier in this
weeks issue prints card from
w. A. Ashley, chairman of the
county court. calling a meeting
of all the citizens of Smith
county to meet in Carthage on
Monday. Feb. %, for the pur-
pdse of discussing plans and de-
vising means whereby the con-
dftion of our thoroughfares may
receive the much needed inn
peovement.
IAs suggested in the Chair
mans call. the condition of our
reads is extremely bad and the
county is retrograding in this re-
spect. A meeting of more con-
sequence than this should be was
never held in Smith county. The
time has come when something
must be done toward the inn
provement of our highways. The
reads in the county have almost
become impossible and more
complaint is being heard from
the farmers at this time than has
ever been made before. The
people of the county are begin
ming to learn that good roads are
not merely luxury but that
they are a necessity. They are
beginning to wake up to the fact
that bad roads are not only a
source of a great deal of incon-
venience but that they are an
expensive burden, and many
hundreds are now becoming &C
tive in securing better roads and
tits confidently expected that the
meeting to be held here on the
22nd will be a fruit bearing one.
Heretofore the people of the
county have voted down the
proposition to build roads by the
issuance of bonds explaining their
position by saying that in so do
ing they did not mean to say
that they did not favor good
roads but that they preferred a
pav- as-you-go plan in preference
TOT the bond way. 1t is not
known what plans the meeting
called will adopt for relief, but
the most popular idea seems to
be. to put the county roads under
a commission, which is beyond a
deubt the proper way to handle
a road improvement system.
Under the present system
there are more than $50, 600
spent on the county roads each
year and it must be conceded
that the people get little or moth
ing in return for the amount ex-
pended. Some means should be
devised to place the work under
Competent supervision and in
this way get the full benefit of
every dollar spent on the roads.
The State Highway Associa-
tion now has measure before
tho legislature, which will no
dohbt be passed by that body at
its |reconvening, March l, requir-
ing the state to appropriate to
each county an equal amount as
is expended by each county for
the purpose of constructing good
roads. In other words, if Smith
county should spend $50, 900 in
the construction of roads we
would receive an equal amount
from the state, making a total of
300, 900. On other hand, if
Smith county should fail to make
any forward steps by creating a
fund for the Improvement of our
roads we would receive nothing
from the state but would be
helping build roads for other
counties that were wise enough
to take advantage of the oppor-
TURTLES offered by the state.
Every public spirited man in
the county should attend this
meeting and assist in getting our
roads out of the mud.

 History Repeating Itself.
 History is repeating itself near Lub- lin in Russian Poland, where last Sep- tember the Austro- -Hungarians ex- perienced a severe check in their at tempt against Warsaw. Special des- patches from Petrograd report that the Russian position now is very hope ful. and that the possibility of the Austro -Germa ns carrying Warsaw by sudden onslaught is obviated. It is explained by Russian commentators that, the Austro-Ge forces now are operating in country which fre- quent campaigns have turned into a desert and where the problems of transport and commissariat are in a tinitely more complex than they were " in the Galicfan operations. XII The Austrian reverse is explained by London military experts as due to the ardor of Archduke Ferdinand,s s army which in the rush on the Kras- nik-Lublin line, got so far ahead of Field Marshal Won Mackensen's forces that a junction was impossible. and that the Russians, being reinforced. flung themselves on their pursuers
 Vienna Admits Retreat.
 Vienna admits that the Austrians have, been compelled to retreat from the Lublin region
 The only success claimed by the central powers along the eastern front is in southern Poland, west of the Vistula river, where the Russians pre- sumably, still are withdrawing to- wards new lines around Warsaw.
 Reports continue to reach here by way of Holland that the Germa ns are sending heavy achievements to the western front. The only news of the operations in that zone, however, Is contained in the brief Paris re- I port which relates that German as- sault directed against trenches which the British had captured on Tuesday southwest of Pilken was broken with

 Haldanc Controversy Bitter.
 The press controversy over the disagreement between Viscount Hal dane, former minister of war and lord high chancellor, and David Lloyd George, the minister ot munitions, grows in bitterness. The statement is made that in one possible contin- gency MT. Llcyd George Will retire and that the obverse would lead to the resignation of Lord Kitchener from the war secrstaryship. The controversy also has developed the fact that the mysterious cabinet mu- nitions committee was headed by Lord Kitchener.
 The official press bureau has H. nally released the statement that it was a British submarine which sank a German battleship i'll the Baltic, five days after the news of the identity of the attacking craft had been pub lished in the continental newspapers. This belated confirmation was almost buried in the English press, portions of which, however, today make sar- castle editorial comments as to the methods of British censorship

POLITICAL BATTLE
 IN GREAT BRITAIN
Intrigue Started to Get Yiscount
 Haldane Back Into Cabinet

London, July g, 3:15 A. M.--The off, fcial announcement made by David Lloyd George the minister of muni- tions, on July [, regarding viscount Haldane, ex-lord chancellor and sec- s.ietary of war. and the question of the supply. of war munitions, has started political sensation in the United Kingdom of the first order, and i. is being made the most of by the Northcliffe press to prevent what is declared to be intrigue to get Lord Haldane back into the cabinet.
 Premier Asquith's remarkable trib- read at q meeting of the National Lib eral club July 5, was regarded as paw ing the way for some attempt of this kind, and although most people take the view that it is inadvisable during the progress of the war to have these personal questions threshed out pub- 1icly, small body of politicians Is trying to force parliamentary discus sion.
 Public Discussion Likely.
 Sir Henry Dalziet, liberal member for kirkoaldy Burghs, has gwen notice that he will ask Premier Asquith in the house of commons on Monday whether Lord Haldane's disclosures of the proceedings of confidential committee of the cabinet were made with the premiers authority. and 1t seems as though the government will

The board finds that the city ap- paratus is in a deplorable condition and that it will cost at least $500 to repair the old engine at No. ? house. The purchase of two pumping engines, which combine hose cart and steamer as we'll, will be big step towards complete motorization of the fire department as the city service truck will arrive here about Labor Day.

 Another plan under consideration is to divide the city into fire districts and to make the captain of each fire com pany responsible for conditions in his district.
