Good Roads Meeting

A good roads meeting was held
at Camden Thursday of last week.
The visitors were entertained
and served with barbecue and
lunch at the site of the West Ten
nessee Gravel Company, near the
Camden depot. The purpose of
the meeting was to discuss the com
pletion of the Memphis-to- Bristol
highway through Benton county.
Plans were discussed for carrying
on this work, and the prospects of
Benton county doing her part are
quite favorable. A number of
friends of good roads were present
from other counties and several
enthusiastic speeches we're made.
The indications are favorable to
voting bonds in Benton county at
an early date. The bond question
was voted on there once and the
proposition was defeated by only
a small vote. 1t is believed by
many that the proposition will
carry now.

POSTOFFIcE BUILDING
Huntingdon to Have $4,000
Structure at Early Date

Huntingdon is to have new post
Office building.
The senate and house of congress
last Tuesday adopted the confer
ence report carrying an appropri-
alton of $4,000 for a postofFice
building in Huntingdon. The
next move will be to the erection
of the building.
Representative Sims has been
working to secure this building
for some time. The $4,000 for
the site was authorized four years
ago and was paid for last year.
That Mr., Sims was so success
full in getting this measure through
congress, considering the fact that
heavy appropriations bad to be
made for other things of general
interest, is a compliment to him,
and an evidence of his influence
and standing with the working
force in congress.
This effort of Mr.. Sims in be-
half of Huntingdon and Carroll
county is appreciated by our peo-
pie who are congratulating them
selves that we had in congress at
this time a man so efficient, able
and willing to do at all times the
very best possible for his constitu-
ents.

WATER POWER BILL
:
Congressman Sims Speaks on
Substitute Measure :.

/ The Nashville Banners Wash
ineton correspondent says: In the
house Representative T. w. Sims
of Tennessee closed the debate in
favor Of the house substitute for
Senator Shields water power bill
Mr.. Sims stated that the record
showed that the senate bill
was referred to the committee on
interstate and foreign commerce
on March 10 and that the house
substitute was reported by the
committee on March 81, which
would indicate that the house COM
mittee had considered its subsui-
tute for the senate bill for only
ten days, but that in fact the bill
reported as a substitute had been
introduced at an early day in the
present session by Mr.. Adamson
and that the bill reported as a sub
stitute had been continuously con-
sidered by the entire committee
from December to March 81, when
it was reported as a substitute for
the senate bill.
Mr.. Sims said that the great
practical and fundamental differ
ference between the senate bill
and the house substitute consists
of requiring a special act of con-
gress the building of any dam or
the development of any water pow
er authorized by the bill, instead
of simply requiring the consent Of
the secretary of war for building
a dam, as provided in the senate
bill. AS every dam to be built
under the house substitute re-
quires special act Of congress,
any additional limitation of the
grant t, It may be thought by con-
gress to be wise or necessary to
prevent the building up Of a wa
ter power monopoly may be pro-
vided for In each of these separate
acts in addition to the provisions
contained in the house substitute.
Mr.. Sims is second member on
the interstate and foreign COM
merce committee, and one of they
conferees on the part Of the hoa SAD stIfl
while Senator Shields, authmGseas. an 4
the senate bill, will be one OF ga se
conferees on the part Of the seilsssiRR
ate.

conferees of the House and Senate
on the Shields water power bill
are ready to take up the bill for
further consideration, when he
will return to take part in the con-
ference Of the two houses, being
the ranking House conferee.
Mr.. Sims has not been absent
from the sessions Of the House
day since Congress convened on
the first Monday in December.
Being the ranking democrat on
the House committee on interstate
and foreign commerce, Mr.. Sims
has been appointed one Of the FIVE

FARMERS TO JACKSON
Experiment Station Visited by
Big Crowd Last Friday

About $50 farmers from Carroll
county went on the excursion to
jackson last Friday to visit the
West Tennessee Experiment Sta
ton. Farmers from Weakley and
Henderson and Decatur counties
added to the large crowd that Wis
tied the station that day. 1t is
said to have been the record crowd
for the year 1916, the number
reaching about 1000.
The Carroll county farmers were
led by Demonstration E, H. Den
son, who took great pains to see
that they had every opportunity
accorded them necessary to make
the day one of pleasure and profit.
A recent storm had damaged, to
some extent, the demonstration
farm, yet there was much to be
seen of practical interest, and the
Carroll Countians returned full of
praise of the splendid work being
accomplished there.
One of the principal addresses
of the day was made by DR.. Jerrel
Cook, on the dignity Of agricul-
ture and sanitation on the farm.
The morning was spent in inspect
ing demonstration plat under the
leadership of Superintendent S. A.
Robert. A live stock exhibition
and lecturec occurred in the after
noon.

THE JEFFERSONIAN

Of course they say that the Cross stands
for God" and that it is respect for "God"
that pulls down the State flag.
Then why not show the same respect for
God by keeping the flag up, all the
time? Surely our Christianity isn't a. one
day-in-the-week farce.
If allegiance to "God" demands the SUI
premacy of Church over State, on Sunday,
then we should be equally respectful during
the other SIX days, and keep the Church on
top all the time.
To that very end, the Jesuits are scheming;
and the eagerness with which they run up the
papal Cross on every occasion, and celebrate
their God-making at every possible military
Mass" proves how Systematically they are
changing the American idea Of things.
[ can see the rapid progress of the Roman
able than in the Army and Navy.
Chip by chip, the Protestants themselves
are cutting away freedom Of speech, freedom
of press separation Of Church and State, and
State supremacy.
Bishop Gambler wants the Constitution
changed, so that State aid may be given to
what he calls religious education which
implies that Faith must be stuffed into youth,
as chopped meat is stuffed into entralls to
make sausages
Another lot of Protestants demand that
Good" be written into the Constitution, as If
that would add glory to Old Marse, or piety
to the people.
Another batch are crazy to have a Blue law
Sabbath, on which a man shall be punished
for the Ecakes and ale" and his dog penallzed
for barking.
