TRANSFERRING THREE
BOOKS MARION co. RECORDS

Jasper, Tenn, Sept. By
an act of the county court in its
last session, authority was grant
ed Registrar of Deeds K. D.
Curtis, of this county, to tran
scribe three books of the records
of deeds Of Marion County, books
c., D., and H. The reason for
transcribing is that the records
are very old and the handwriting
was becoming very much faded.
The work is being done by Reg
istrar Curtis, assisted by Mrs. A.
E. Berryhill, who typewrited the
wording of the old books onto
new ones. The work is paid for
by the county at 10 cents per
hundred words and averages IS
cents per page. 1t is believed
the entire cost will amount to
81, 200. Work of transcribing
has been going on for some weeks
and it will take considerable more
time to complete the job.

ARRESTED FOR SHOOTING
AT PUBLIC BAPTlZING.

Will King, Hugh Thomas, and
Albert Thomas were arrested
Sunday at Inman for drinking
and shooting at a public baptizing
and lodged in jail at Jasper.
Some 200 people had gathered at
Inman ford to attend baptismal
services, and among the number
were the three young men fore
said. For some reason they for
got their hymnals and brought
along their pistols and jug. They
got into the crowd after loading
up with a spirit different from
the third person of the trinity and
commenced firing off their bull
dogs and for a while the scatter
alton was immense, the people
not understanding the reason for
the shots. However, deputies
got the young men under control
and they stopped circulation for
a while, likewise their guns and
jug, which journeyed to Jasper
jail as evidence Of the battle.

ammunition from nitrates, its
primary product, may be located
with safety.
1t also shows the leading un-
developed water-power sites of
the country, according to the re-
cords of the conservation con-
gress. 1t is interesting to note
that Muscle shoals, which has a
primary potential power of 100,
600 horsepower, and ten-months
secondary power of $50, 900 horse
power. is the only large site COM
ing within the region Of security,
with the exception of one that is
already developed to its limit at
a high price and is lacking in the
materials with which Muscle
shoals is surrounded. These
places are indicated with the a.
mount of power each can develop.
Productive mineral areas of
many kinds are also presented,
with graphic representations of
the amount of production, accord
ing to government statistics and
equally authentic sources, and the
rankof each district. 1t is thus
seen that Muscle shoals is in the
center of a region containing all
the minerals needed for the pur-
pose of the plant, and that these
districts are among the largest
producers in the country. This
presentation is helped out by de-
scriptions at the bottom of the
map. The whole work will be a
valuable record for the large
number of scientists and manu-
facturers who are interested in
natural resources.
Engineers thruout the south
are becoming interested in the
Muscle shoals project, and many
inquiries are being received by
the engineers committee for in
formation. 1t is expected that
the brief will go before the gov
ernment officials with the indorse-
ment of every. engineer in the
south.

ENGINEERS SHOW
SOUTH'S CLAIMS
Remarkable Map Prepared by
Muscle Shoals Committee
Proves Merits.

Designing it primarily to prove
the advantages of Muscle Shoals,
on the Tennessee river, for the
location of the government nj
trate plant. the nitrate plant COM
mittee of the Nashville section of
the Engineering Association of
the South has completed a unique
map that is expected to be of
interest to engineers and business
men thruout the country. BY an
ingenious system it shows the
natural resources Of the country
in every line in which engineers
are likely to be interested, and
presents an easy means of OBJ
tanning information along these
lines that ordinarily requires con-
siderable investigation.
The map is to bel part of a book
let being prepared by the engin-
GERS for the Muscle Shoals asso-
citation, which will explain to the
government officials and to scien-
fists thruout the country what the
claims of Muscle shoals are. This
is intended to be a concise, vet
complete, presentation of the
facts regarding this power site
and the region around it. In this
way it will prove a valuable ad-
vertisement for the entire south,
as a showing of its resources to
the men who will be most likely
to aid in their developement.
John Howe Peyton, president
of the Nashville, Chattanooga &
st. Louis railway, is chairman of
this committee, and Hunter Nc
Donald, ex-preSident of the
American Society of Civil Engin-
eers, is vice-chairman. W. G.
Waldo of Vanderbilt university is
executive secretary and is in ac-
tive charge of the work of pre-
pairing the brief.

leling the borders of the country,

1t is believed that the route to
Chattanooga via the lock will
prove a very interesting one to
tourists, outside of the fact that
this route with no mountain to
climb or descend will appeal more
strongly to automobilists than
any other. The fact that the
Chattanooga-Nashville route as
laid out some four years ago and
on which considerable money has
been spent will continue to be on
the map regardless of other roads
proposed, means that tourists will
continue to use it, and the fact
that a link in the road is being
built by the government together
with the improved ferriage plan
ed will serve to attract more
tourists to use it. Large number
of tourists will undoubtedly use
this route from the Dixie High
way which passes thru Jasper
via Battle Creek as the route is
shorter and prac-
tically level route. Whether
tourists use this route or not it
will be inestimable to Marion
county as providing a short route
to Chattanooga. The improve
ments contemplated will also
the expenditure of con-
sums of money, the
ferry alone costing $4,000.

GOVERNMENT ROAD
NOW ASSURED
Biz Improvement Planned From
Lock and Dam.
Electric Ferry Proposed of
Modern Construction.

The last impediment it is be-
lieykd has been removed from
thu building of a beautiful and
permanent boulevard or road
from the Hale's Bar dam by the
government. The suit against
G. Sherman, of this city, which
involved the right of way, and
which was broughtby J. B. Jones,
was settled at recent term of
Chancery Court, this county, the
suit being compromised. Mr..
Sherman is the owner of the lands
contiguous to the dam, having
bought approximately 500 acres
from Albert Wallace. of Roches-
ter, N. H., some time ago, and
when the government proposed
to build a good road to the dam
on the west side, Mr.. Sherman
conceived the plan of putting in
an electric ferry. He donated
the right of way to the govern
ment but Immediately after he
did so several suits arose over the
lands which put stop to the COM
mencement of the work until
they should be settled, the govern
ment insisting that all titles be
perfect to lands given it for road
purposes. Title is now believed
to be perfect, the suits simply de-
laying the work.
The proposed new road will
run from point north of the
dam where the ferry will be in
stalled, to a point on the Ebene-
zer pike, three miles from Jas
per. 1t will be about two and a
half miles long and will be built
after the best road specifications.
Surveys were made for the road
nearly two years ago and a splen-
did grade secured over the south
ern end of Cedar Mountain,
which II will cross. At present
there is practically no road from
Jasper to the dam, merely a.
bride path.
The ferry which Mr.. Sherman
proposes to have installed and for
which he has made very definite
plans will be of most modern
type. 1t will be located about
200 feet above the dam where the
water is still and smooth ass mill
pond. 1t will be electrically
driven, utilizing power from the
Chattanooga & Tennessee River

and gaunt faced battleman with the

him with a scowl. You're not sup
