tion is anything but satisfactory. Our stand- ing is shaky our expectation is cloudy and our environment decidedly unpleasant; and that de- spite that most of us believe ourselves just as well off as our~neighbors, must admit a feel ing of restlessness, a feeling that we need rest or something; and we wish we could get away from this everlasting cry of war, massacrees, starvation, discontentment, reformers and all other elements that go to make up life of wor- ry. We wish there was another Nome discovery, only much farther where we could go and en- joy tranquility, peace and contentment; where envy, factions and classes are barred out; where we would be all equal, all friends Where we would know one another's faults without sraa'--
 ing about them. Where the necessity of sao' < on saloon licenses would not be necessary; where ill-motives would not be imputed because we dis agree with our neighbor in our convictions. And the whole thing makes us sick and tired. Yet we have very effective remedy with which to cure this tired and disgusted feeling; and that is to reform ourselves before we try to l'eforn' others. That seems easy. But who of us is try ing, pray?

CAN WE HANDLE IT?

Have we man in our midst who is equal to the task before us, must we depend on out siders? That is the question that should oc- cupy our minds at the present time.
 Coming from man of MT J, E. Childberg's good judgment, experience in the mining and financial world that all we need here to make the greatest mining producing precinct in Alaska, is the means to treat our ore from our mines with little expense. Coming from such man we need no longer doubt the possibility of the whole We have the mineral in large and pay ing quantity From that it would seem that all we need is smelter of sufficient capacity to han de all the product of the mines within this pre- cinct, centrally located and making the cost of transportation nominal. An easy matter if we consider the benefit Ketchikan would derive therefrom. Ketchikan is the most central point to all the mines. For that reason smelter would be located here Then why shouldn't the bus- ness men of the town get together with the mine owners and undertake to provide the glaring necessity? A corporation could be organized for that purpose; stock divided among the business men and mine owners and each would contribute it's share toward the establishment of most valuable enterprise to precinct. In this manner there could be no failure The proposi- tion is worthy of consideration.

TWO FOOLS.
(Colum bus Dispatch.)

Columbus Dispatch)
 One made unkind remarks about another-said things about him that not rue tried to leave the impression that the man not of the character he really is No but fool would be guilty of such conduct
 The who talked about resented it, took the fool to task for his folly got into difficulty with the fool and became angry. He also fool or he would not have been guilty of such conduct. So the trouble between two fools-two of them making trouble for each other and for themselves
 But there many just such fools in the world-men who circulate und reports about others and the others resentng the unknd remarks There those who seek entertain their friends by talking about other people, They to think that it is the easiest way of being entertanng they work overtime at the task with a hope of securing anything but the admiration those with whom they talk Yet the truth is that every one despises the fellow who all the time nduges in such talk and what like popularity is only tolerance upon the part of those who listen to the unknd words

WATCH LOST LAST

COVERED UNDER ONE INCH OF
DIRT-REMovED, WOUND UP
AND KEEPS TIME.

G. A. Connolly, of near Spring Hill,
lost his watch last August in his clover
field while in the field. A diligent
search at the time failed to produce
the watch, but last week, while Mrs.
w. A. Derryberry was walking through
the field, she perceived something pro-
truding from the ground that attracted
her attention and upon examination
it proved to be the fob to the watch.
She removed the watch from its cover
ing and took it to Mr.. Connolly and
after the dirt was removed and the
watch wound up, it was as pretty and
bright as it ever was and keeps good
time.

PADGtTT FRIENDS
SAAGUIAt RESULT
OF COhIAG RACE
NOT AT ALL DlSCoNCERTED
OVER THE NEWS OF HIS
OPPOSITION.
PRIMARY PLAN Is EXPECTED
Likely That One Will Be Called For
The Date of the August Election
Jones Was Defeated by the Incum-
bent in 1910.

News that Representative Lemuel P.
Padgett, of this district, will have op-
position for reelection while unex-
pected, is not at all disconcerting to
the friends of the popular member.
They are of one mind and that is that
Mr.. Padgett is stronger today than he
has ever been with the voters of the
district j. Grady Jones, of Hum
phreys county, who will be Mr.. Pad
gett's opponent, was candidate six
years ago, during the year of the great
revolution and division in the demo
cratic party of the state, when Mr..
Padgett was very much weakened by
factional alignments. He was defeat
ed at that time.
Now, with the democratic party once
more united and harmonious and fac
tional lines fast disappearing, it is not
believed that he will make anything
like as good race as he made in 1910.
1t is worthy Of remark that Mr.. Pad
gett's opponent in the last four con-
tests has been from Humphreys
county.
Just what action the democratic
executive committee of the Seventh
district will take toward providing q
method for the selection of nominee
is not known. 1t is expected, however,
that meeting Of the committee will
be held at an early date and that
primary, the accepted method Of max
ing nominations in this district, since
1893, will be the plan adopted. Two
years ago the primary was held on the
first Saturday of September. 1t is not
improbable, however, that the commit
tee will go back to the old precedents
and call the primary for the day of
, the August election and prevent the
multiplicity of elections.

IS UEL|bHIEO Al
MORE school, FUNDS
,noIrIONAL SUM WILL ENABLE
THE COUNTY BOARD TO DO
SOME BUILDING.
PITTS COUNTY ON nUAOR ROLL
nurjnq The Nine Years Of The Pres
ent incumbent, the Rate Has Been
Increased From Twelve to Thirty
two Cents for Education.

To say that County Superintendent
Graham is gratifed over the action OF
tbe County Court on Monday in in
creasing the tax levy for the ele-
mentary schools from twenty to twen-
ty.fye cents and that for the high
schools from four to seven cents, is
putting the matter mildly. If the
rather conservative county superinten-
dent we're as enthusiastic as Col.
Roosevelt he would doubtless exclaim:
"D-e-e.li-g-h-t-e-d!"
For the first time the public schools
of the county will really have meas
ure of support comparable with the
schools of the progressive counties OF
Tennessee. Maury county has been
for several years one of the few coun'
ties in Tennessee that did not levy as
much as twenty-five cents for the com.
mon schools. Only about dozen
counties levied as low tax. Under
this increase the county will receive
$1,000 additional from the state school
fund, which it could not secure as long
as the levy was less than the twenty
five cents fixed by Law as the minimRm
rate to share the benefits of the fund
While the county board of educa
ton, by practicing the most rigid econ
omy, has been able to provide eight
months school, there has been nc
fund whatever for building purposes
The board has been almost wholly
dependent upon public generosity
where buildings were erected at all
With the increased tax this can be
taken care of.
The high schools here and at Mt
Pleasant were "up against it." The
Cookeville loot, coupled with the large
ly increased attendance, making neces
sary larger faculties, resulted in {
deficit, The levy of seven cents, to
gether with the funds furnished by thu
state and the cities, will be ample tt
maintain the present high standard.
During the nine years that Count.
Superintendent Graham has been il
office the school levy in Maury count!
has increased from twelve cents t,
thlrty-two cents and the terms from
lour to eight months. When he wen
into office there were no high schools
now there are two.
