ROAD BONDS DID NOT SELL.
No Bid Offered Reached Par--WiII B.
Advertised Again.

The Cumberland County Road Com.
mission opened the sealed bids Monday
at 2 p. m. and found that no bid made
quite reached par. The enabling act
specifically specifies that the bonds
shall not be sold for less than par and
that no commissions shall be paid in
any way.
From letters received it is learned
that the bond market is in a very un-
settled condition as a result of the
present strained condit tions between
the United States and Germany.
That is considered the reason why the
bids received were below par and thus
made the sale of the 500, 900 offered
fail to find buyer.
They VIII Immediately be readvertis-
ed and the sealed bids will be opened
August IA. This time it is felt will be
sufficient for the final adjustment of
the controversy now on between this
country and Germany or at least the
matter VIII have resolved itself into
uch shape that all fear of war be-
tween the two countries will have van
lshed.
FENTRESS COUNTY TOO.
The $3.50, 900 of road bonds offered by
Fentress county failed to sell when
offered few days ago. The same gen.
eral conditions are thought to have
cause failure. Fentress county has re-
advertised and it is probable they Will
find bidder at the next sale.
Just now the lame place in the laws
of Tennessee relative to state, county
and municipal bonds stands out very
prominently. In this state owners of
such bonds are required to pay taxes
on them while in many other states
such bonds are not subject to taxes and
can be held by home people. But for
the tax on such bonds there would be
several thousand dollars of the bonds
held in this county, but as it is no per-
son having money to invest can afford
to own five per cent bond or even a
six per cent bond and pay from one and
a half to three per cent in taxes.

What We Know About II.

"In what way" asks the Houston Post, "can the Republicans at
tack the Democratic tariff What do they know about its virtues or
defects?"
This is no troublesome conundrum. 1t is rdiculously easy. Re.
pubicans can attack the Democratic tariff by telling the truth about
it And as for what they know about its defects, it would take an
entire issue of this paper to summarize il.
For instance, we know that in the first eight months that the
Democratic tariff was in operation our imports Increased Sll4 600,
600 and our customs revenues decreased %$36,O00OOO.
We know that our imports of raw materials for manufacturing
increased S34OOO,OOO, and that even with the war our imports in
these lines are S33,OOOOOO more than they were under Republican
tariff. We know that our importations of foodstuffs jumped III
Soo'oooVoo' h practically all of 1t came in free of duty, and that
even during the war-the increase was maintained.
We know that, in the first eight months of the Democratic tariff
our exports fell off S2O4OOO,OO0 and that our farmers had to see
shrinkage in their foreign sales of %S57,OOOOOO.
We Republicans know a lot about the defects of the Democratic
tariff and before the next session of congress is over and before tb,
our knowledge.

Society and Mrs. Norman Gait.

Horrors! Children, Mrs. Norman Gait is to become the first lady
of the land at the time she weds President Wilson next month
Think of it'll Terrible isn't itp Especially when dear old "Washng,
ton Society" feels that it is too good to associate with the wife or
family of a tradesman! Now Mrs. Gait is the widow of a prominent
jeweler in the city of Washington and owing to this fact she "a not
admitted to the sacred realms of society, and as the wife of a trades
man she was ignored, even though she came from good booded po.
pie, or just as good blooded as far rs blood goes under the old "stars
and stripes, but she was not good enough for the "ofhcial circles of
social Washington. "Fwo bad" Now she is going to be the first
lady of the land and by her position she will be the leader of said
official social circles" and oh my! it makes up weep when we think
of all the strangling that some of that circle will have to do to look
pleasant after having snubbed her for several years.
Now Mrs. Gait ID not worrying us at ALL and neither is the we'd
ding, nor President Wilson's private affairs, but when America gets
so aristocratic a 8 to have levels of tradesmen, official or anything
else, look out for a fall. Some of the reddist blood that is running
in the veins of America is among the poor and the tradesmen. The
official circle of Washington is made up of some of the commonest
kind of individuals, many of whom are there by right of purchase
in the official capacity for America. washington sacred official cir.

Petty Thievina.

Saratoga for some time past has been suffering from a n ordinary
sat of petty thieves. 1t is about time some of these people we're
caught and dat with accordingly. This thieving has amounted to
notbine YER serious, but has been confined to stealing chickens,
coal. clothing, bedding, tools, even beef, and many other things OF
like nature. Riding a split rail, wearing a handsome coat of tar and
feathers would be a very becoming leave-taking for the parties if
caught. We claim to be lawabiding, but we would be tempted to
furnish the tar. Petty thieves become chronic and should be dealt
with while only infectious.
