Justices Postpone Matter of
Time Warrants Until Next
Year In Order To Substi-
tute Bonds---Jury Venire Is
Named at Session of Quart
erly Court Chautauqua
Must Pay License

Monday the county court, in
quarterly session, defeated a
proposition made by Justice w.
M. Huddleston that the court
proceed with the election CT the
three commissioners to have
charge of the funds to be derived
from the road bond issue, in case
the bond issue is ratified in
August.
Justice Huddleston urged that
the commissioners be selected in
advance and ratified by the next
term of the court in order that
the people might know before
voting for the bond issue who
would have charge of the expen-
diture of the funds.
Opponents of Justice Huddles-
tons proposition thought that
the court had no authority and
could not name the commissioners
until the bond issue was carried.
The matter of the $65, 600 time
warrants, authorized to pay off
the county's Indebtedness, was
taken up and, in accordance with
the suggestion made in Judge
Clendenin's message. was post
poned until next year in order
that the Legislature might enact
an enabling measure, allowing
the county to issue negotiable
bonds instead of time warrants.
The special tax levy of 25 cents
on the $1O0 was made for the
purpose of paying interest on the
S65, 600 indebtedness and any re-
mainder to be applied on this in

PORTERSAYSSIMS
HAS OUTLIvED DAY
OF HIS USEFULNESS

Dudley Porter, candidate for
Congress, spoke at the Sulphur
Well Tuesday. He discussed
Good Roads, Preparedness and
other national questions, He al
so referred to the Senatorial
race of Congressman Sims, and
had the folio wing to say regard
ing some of the campaign argu-
ments now being made by Mr..
Sims: Judge Sims, and his
subsidized newspapers are ad-
vancing the argument that it
would be unWise, in view of the
Europern aud Mexican situations,
to retire from Congress an eX-
perienced man like Mr.. Sims at
this time. 1t will be recalled,
that in the campaign of 1910,
that the Congressman and these
same newspapers were singing
practically the same tune and
making practically the same ar
gument.. They then said that
the Democrats of the Eighth
District would commit a grievous
error if they failed to re-elect
Mr.. Sims, because the tariff
would probably be revised by the
62nd Congress, and that under
such conditions a man of expert
ence would be needed in Con-
gress.
In view of the fact, that Judge
Sims is net Chairman of the
committee on Foreign Affairs, or
any other committee that deals
with the grave problems present
ed by the European and Mexican
Wars, and is not regarded as a
Congressional leader in Wash
ington, it does not seem to me
that the logic of the Congress
man and his lieutenants can
hardly be considered sound. The
republic does not rest upon the
shoulders of Judge Sims, and he
is not a national necessity.
Other young Tennesseans, who
were elected to Congress years
later than Mr.. Sims, have become
conspicuous members of the
House of Representatives and
are invited to the White House
to confer with the President
about the Foreign situation.
Why does not President Wilson
also seek the advice and council
