BUILD THIS ROAD.

That section of Haywood county
embracing Tibbs, Forked Deer and the
territory beyond is not receiving that
attention which it deserves in the way
Of good roads. AS result many of
our citizens are doing their trading in
other counties, simply because they
cannot reach Brownsville as reality
on account of bad roads. We should
have first class highway connecting
that section Of our county with the
county seat. The business men Of
Brownsville ought to get interested in
this proposition and do their part to
bring to pass the building of this high
way. Here is where a business mems
club could find something worth while
to do. These people are among our
best citizens and should receive this
assistance and connection with their
county seat. They don't want to pat
ronize other markets, because they re-
aIize that Brownsville furnishes bet
ter one than they are reaching. They
want to stay at home. Let's help
them do this by helping them to build
this highway. All interests working
together and strong, steady pull win
do the work.

While making speech at Water
town few days ago, Secretary Lam
sing clearly defined the difference be-
tween the German and English viola
lions of the international laws against
which the United States has protest
ed. He says that the German VIOLA
tons were against the right of life
while the British violations were
against the right Of property. This is
a distinction which many have never
stopped to consider Property may be
restored, life cannot be given back
The destruction of life is much more
serious offense than the destruction
of property.

SAVE our STREETS.

A few years ago we spent . large
sum of money for good streets In
Brownsville. We got them and we en-
joyed them. There isn't man in
town who regrets the expenditure Of
that money for it could not have been
placed to better advantage. But we
knew when these streets were built
that they could not last forever with
out additional expenditure for neces-
essary repair work. We were short
sighted in making no provision for
this work. The time has now come
when 1t must be done or our streets
will be lost. We all know that we
are not going to do without good
streets. How foolish, then, to wait
until they are ruined before taking
action. A comparatively small sum
spent now would save them, but if
this comparatively small sum is not
spent soon it will take very large
sum to do the work. Every business
man in Brownsville knows this. Why
not show that good business sense,
then, by taking action at once. We
understand that there is no money in
the city treasury which can be used
for this purpose. We must have a
leader in this work. Our mayor is a
man of business ability with the quail
ifcations of leadership essential in a
crisis like this, and we call upon him
to take the lead in this matter. If he
thinks best, let the people be called
together in mass meeting, where they
may counsel together and decide as to
what action must be taken. This mat
ter viii not brook delay.

Every citizen should be deeply inter-
ested in helping to build up the best
school possible in his neighborhood,
but don't let any little prejudice which
you may have formed against teach
er keep you from lending that teacher
your loyal support, provided you know
that she is capable, honest and consci-
entious in her work. We all have our
faults, but capability, honesty and in
dustry will overcome these faults. If
your teacher has shown these quail
ties, ask to have her returned, if posi-
bic, for an old teacher who is progress
sive and ambitious TO succeed and who
possesses the qualifications mentioned
is always better than a new one. Try
to hold your teacher just as long as
the school is prosperous under her con-
troll.

Every woman, voting and old, knows
what 1t is to have cross days; days
when, from sunrise till sunset, every
mortal thing seemi to 60 wrong, no

them go right. For that matter, one
always does try harder on such days
than one the happy-go-lucky ones
when life flows on smoothly and har-
moniously. like "a grand, sweet song"
Goodness knows, there Is enough con-
scientious effort wasted on single
cross day to balance half a year of
ordinary days.
Why is this? Is crossness a disor-
dered state OF the mind, or an over
wrought condition OF the nerves, or
simply the reflection Of an inexplicabis
but unanimous "osDssedness" on the
part of things in general2 And II It

THIS is WRONG.

When the law was pasesd taxing au-
tomobles We were told that 10 per
cent Of the money collected would be
used to defray the expenses of the
commission in handling the fund and
that the other 80 per cent would be
returned to the county where collected
for use on our highways. It now turns
ost that the highway commission is
using more than fifty per cent for
purposes Unknown to the citizens VINO
This law
pretty fair in int, but rom the way
il is being opeatad BY the commits
si7n, looks yic.---. Every county
should get all the money collected as
an automobile tax within its boundar-
les and should be allowed to expend
this money as it sees fit for road i'm
provement. For the life of us we can't
see any sense in giving half of il to
some office holder up in Nashville WHO
can never render us any assistance in
the matter. The law should be chang
ed and this money should be kept at
home. Until it is changed the com
mission at Nashville should return 80
per cent of the money collected to the
county paying it, as was promised in
the beginning. This is the law, 10
per cent to the commission, 8 per cent
to the trustee and the balance TO the
good roads fund of the county. Let
this law be obeyed or else let this com
mission be put out of business.
