those who have money to let feel that
they can not let it for less than they
now charge. But all these things will
adjust themselves and all will end
well. never did know anything about
business or money and 1 don't know
why I got to writing about this sort
of think. All l know about money is
to spend it, and I have had so little
that l did not learn very much along
that line. In fact, somehow / seem
to have formed the opinion in my
youth, which now has been many years
ago, that money was meant to spend
and the faster you spent it tie more
debts it would pay. 1t doesn't do any
one any good to keep it tied up in a
stocking or locked up in a bank vault.
But 1 am going to quote a paragraph
from an article l read in a Richmond
paper-the article written by A. B.
Williams, who has been studying COM
mission form of government and writ
ing his impressions for the people Of
Richmond. This paragraph gives a
little idea of some Of the Characters
tics of the American voter. Read it:
%
Senator Swanson in a speech in the
Southwest once said of Bascomb Slemp
that he had the habit of starting his
mouth to working and then going off
and leaving it. The average good Am
erican citizen helps to start the machin-
ery of government working and then
goes off and leaves it. He persists in
believing it will run itself. 1t won't.
He sticks to tat old, old theory that
the American voter is virtuous and
intelligent person who, of his own mo-
ton, will use his vote carefully and
with full sense of his responsibilities.
He won't do it. Where She votes, She
won't 10 it. Tie best of US won't do
it unless somebody is after US all the
time. The average leading business
man of the average American city per-
haps is the most careless and ignorant
voter we have, when left to his own
devices, and frequently one of the most
useless members of a city council. HIS
mind is on his business or social az
fairs or on possibilities of domestic
commotions if he fingers too long at
committee or council meetings; and
he is apt as not to ask and take ad-
vice on how he shall vote from the
very men he was elected to oppose
the men who made trade OF pubic
affairs and who for reasons OF their
own are entirely familiar with rules
and persons and propositions and are
interested in getting this through or

holding that up. have heard OF
such actual situations and occurrences
in Richmond.
"The American voter, especially in
his municipal politics, is ready to fol-
low good leadership in which he las
confidence. 1t is so everywhere. But
the leadership must be there and must
stay there. 1t must continue at least
until tie success of any new method
has been demonstrated too clearly for
doubt or question and the toxin of old
habits and prejudices has been worked
out of the community's system. Even
then there always will be everywhere
certain number of people wanting
easy jobs or special favors and cer-
tain number of the olronically or spe-
cially dissatisfied, all waiting for the
slightest prtext to jump in and take
charge of things and upset the whole
kettle Of beans"

Ia lot Of US start our mout-s to
working and then go off and leave
them, and, believe me, they do some
fine work sometimes. Those Of US who
vote do not always vote for the best
fitted men. That is too often the last
consideration, if considered at all We
too often are moved by prejudice or
personal feelings or some cause other
u3an fitness for the job. 1t too often
happens that fitness is the last thing
we think about. But what do I know
about this subject. I feel that l have
just turned by machine loose and gone
off and left it and it just kept on

They tell me that the city council
has built some fine concrete bridges,
and 1 want to commend them for that.
That is what 1 have been contending
for all these years that 1 have been
writing. That sort of work will last.
That is what they should do for the
streets. Build some that will last,
if only small bit each year, and then
they are done with that part.
By the way, a lady away down IN
Columbia sent me name for the park.
And she says there is no other name
that would be at all appropriate.
wouldn't tell for the world what she
says it should be named. I was just
wondering why it had not been named.

November first recorded a
change in the Cherokee Mfg. Co.

servative industries of the town
of Maryville, t h e capital
stock being increased, and the
name of the Company changed
to the Cherokee Table & Manu-
featuring Co., tables being the
main product of the Company.
This change was made neces-
sary due to the rapid growth of
the business.

but still being interested in the
business of which his sons have
had active charge for so many
years. Robert and Otto Pflanze

mer Resorts in the South, and
under the personal Management
of Mr.. Pflanze, is being restored

to t h e manufacture of their
tables is produced at home,
saw mill being a part of the
plant, the Company manufacture
ing from the log all the lumber
that goes into their tables.
