Mr.. Hughes repeated his stand with

tary McAdoo with the declaration that
apparently it seemed impossible to the
administration that person could
mean what he said.

"Must Make Americans Blush"
"An administration imbued with the
spirit Of true Americanism," Mr..
Hughes said, would be incapable of
the statement attributed to the secre-

of shame to the cheek of every Amer
lean that apologies for the deplor-
able record in Mexico should be made
after this fashion.

THURSDAY, DEC. 21, 1916

1t is indeed regretable that the
Fiscal Court of this county has
seen fit to contract for road work
that is So outrageously high that
the people, the tax payers, must
rebel. 1t is very disappointing
to the people of this county who
had such fond hopes for better
roads. These people are so will
ing and anxious TO pay their road
tax and give money and means
besides to build roads, and then
to see their money so wastefully
spent and their road fund for all
future to come, exhausted in
building less. than a score OF
miles of very imperfect road, is,
indeed, very discouraging.
But will they stand it?
The Times says, no.
The farmers of Powell county
have been clearing land all their
lives. They know what such
work costs. Then do you sup
pose they will tamely submit t.
paying fellows coming in here
500. 90 per acre for clearing lane
for new roads, where necessary?
Do you suppose they are willing
to pay 80 cents per cubic YARD
for moving dirt; S1.00 per cubic
yard for moving slate rock, and
such extravagant prices for haul
ing and placing galvanized pipe?
The people of Powell county
have IA little business judgment
yet: they know that sucIrprlces
are robbery and they will not be
so handled in day light.
A suit has been hIed In court
that will test the validity of tax
collection for such purpose, and
the matter will be thoroughly
tested out.
We believe that the law has
been violated in many ways in
the voting, issuing and selling of
the bonds and shall not pay one
cent of road tax until compelled
to do so by the court of last re
sort, and rs per cent of the tax
payers are with us.
All honor is due Squire John
A. Sewell who has tlstly refused
to help gore the people with such
exorbitant road contracts.

Let us remember, while we pray, .
That the One who died to save us
Was greatest Gift the Father gave US.

While the old year is departing
And the new one coming in,
Let us think of words of our Saviour:

And while we think of our saviour,
Who was truly here on Earth,
We bless that spirit,iai WON IN
That gave to Him his birth.
Yet there we're wicked people, the N,
Who looked on Him with soorns
And placed upon that holy head
The awful wreata of thorns.
And while we think OF our Heaven,
And mourn on his birthday, his loss,
How codld Gney theli De 50 cruel
As to nail ouf Christ to the Gross?

The candy, and fine presents, too !;
In memory of the Saviour who died
On Calvary for me and for you.

Who will His good word obey

And born on the First Xmas Day,
Let all of us hang up our stockings,
With kindly heart and good cheer;
Remembering Home upin Heaven
