Automobiles
Will Organize

An organization of the automobile
owners of Blount County will be
formed within the next few weeks,
on the occasion Of the opening of the
new garage of the Maryville Auto
and Garage Co. The date for this
opening has not been announced, but
announcement will be made through
the columns of The Times, and an
invitation to every automobile owner
to attend will be extended through
this announcement. A good dinner
will be served, and other features will
aid interest to the gathering. The af-
fair will be held in the garage of the
company, which is now being COM
pleted on Court street.
The purpose of the organization
will be to bring about a closer coop
Grafton of owners for securing high
way improvement and inaugurating a
movement to get the benefit of all
automobile taxes paid into the county
and state, for use on Blount County's
road. The idea of this organization
was conceived in the mind of j. G.
McCampbell, of the Maryville Auto
and Garage Co. Similar organiza-
tions have been formed in other coun-
ties, and thir efforts have resulted in
much benefit to the citizens.
Blount County has hundreds Of
automobile owners, and thru their CO.
operation many things could be done,
which single handed none can do.
The pixies of Blount County are in
excellent condition but too much mon
ey can not be secured for them, and
it is with the hope of getting further
funds that Mr.. McCampbell suggests
this organization.
1t is to be hoped that the pike from
the Blount county line to Knoxville
will be put in good shape by our
neighboring county. 1t is now almost
impossible in some places. Knoxville
has been making a big noise about
the Dixie Highway, but that is one
strip of road that will have to be
overhauled before it will be much
longer a Knoxville-Maryville highway
But Knox Countians can afford to
suffer few bumps coming to Blount
County, in order to enjoy a pleasant
ride over our pixies. And this is the
way auto owners want them to be
kept.

The Lineup for Governor.

At this writing no one can
judge just what following the
several gubernatorial candidates
will have, yet we think in this
end of the state at least Mr.. Bar
rett is entitled to a large share
of the total vote on account of
his square stand on prohibition.
The other candidates are dodg-
ing behind the ''lccal option"
screen, and while playing a tune
for prohibitionists, they are CIV
ing the whiskey men the wink.
1t is all nonsense to try to avoid
the saloon issue, when every one
knows that it must be met. -Bas-

Police Juries Urged to Put Federal Aid
for Roads Up to Congress.

An active campaign looking
towards obtaining the proper
support to insure the passage of
the Federal aid road bill has been
started in this State and in most
of the other States Simultaneous
ly, with w. E. Atkinson, State
highway engineer, at the head of
the movement in Louisiana.
A strong letter urging propa-
ganda work by the various police
juries, has been sent out by Mr..
Atkinson, calling upon the men,
bers of these bodies to put the
matter squarely up to their rep
resentatives in Congress and the
Senate, with urgent request that
they support the bill.
The Federal aid road bill as
outlined proposes that the FEEDER
al government promote the i'm
provement of rural post roads,
military roads and roads used for
interstate commerce by Federal
appropriation. The aid of the
United States government in con-
struction of these good roads, if
realized in its full meaning, is
expected within a few years af-
ter the passage of the act to re-
suit in linking together all of the
cities of the United States, and
even the hamlets, by. a complete
network of good roads. Should
the bill be enacted and become a
law, Louisiana, under its provis-
ions, will be entitled to between
$3.50, 600 and $4O0, 900 annually
to be used in good roads construc-
ton.
1t is expected that the police
juries of the various parishes in
the State will act favorably and
without delay upon the sugges-
ton to get the assurance of their
representatives in support of the
bill.

Don't Plunge Hastily, but Con-
slider Carefully Promises
You Make.
Bv BILL VINES.

~ EWARE, gentle reader, for jan
uary l approaches. 1t is time
for you to begin to pause in
your wild and woolly career for
the nonce and consider wisely and
well, the particular style of good reso-
lutions that it is your firm purpose to
put into immediate and drastic effect
on that date. Do not plunge hastily
into the matter, and waste perfect
ly good resolution. From my personal
experience l know that it is human
weakness, in a moment of sentimental
and saffron-hued regret, to tie oneself
up so tight in an ironbound and ILL.,
considered New Years resolution
that it takes frequently till January Is
to separate oneself from it, and it can
be done then only with considerable
mental anguish and a badly lacerated
conscience.

general job-lot assortment of shop
worn, good resolutions adopted unani-
mously by the committee on resolu-
lions at its annual meeting sometime
between the 25th and 31st Of Decem-
Der. None of these resolutions has
been used long at time. They are
not frayed on the edges or wabbly in
the bushing from excess of use. They
look awfully good at this gladstone
time of the year when ones bank ac-
count appears delicate and remorse-
full. This is the time for good reso-

sidious book agent it slips a blank
into your ready and nerveless hand
and says, sign here" You are in
no mental or physical condition to re-
fuse. You can't turn anything down,
much less good resolution. It is
likely the night before you could not
even turn the bedclothes down, but
probably rested your weary head on
the PILLOW and spread your classic
form over the hand-worked, snow
white counterpart. You put your
hand to your solid ivory, but throb-
bling nut, and try to recollect your
thoughts. You mentally review the
past and see nothing in 1t to cheer
you up, not a single bright spot.
On top of this someone sticks q
package of letters under the door.
You open them slowly, and there you
find the gas bill. the coal bill, the rent
bill, the grocery bill and you vainly
attempt to calculate at what time next

by cutting out cigars and highballs,
you can reasonably expect your bank
account to be convalescent. Score,

You try to remember II the good

bility be the same good resolution
that you fell for last year. which gave
promise of carrying you through the

a permanent seat on the water cart
and free from the nasty effects of
King Nicotine? You recall with what
Joy you embraced said good resolution
q year ago: how you fell upon its
neck and chung to it In your hour Of
distress and brunette remorse. You
reflect that it ought to be a good reso-
luton, because it is Made in Amer

you remember that something got
