Bond Buyers Draw Resolutions
For the Court to Act Upon.
Bonds Prepared.
REQUIRE REGULAR MEET
Some Thought Called Session
Could be Held, But Attorneys
Think Not.

Buyers of Blount County's
100000 road bonds have
drawn up a resolution which
has been forwarded to George
D. Roberts, chairman of the
court, to be acted upon by the
court, before money for the
bonds will be forwarded to the
county. The buyers, Dewitt,
Tremble & Co., of Chicago, say
that the bonds will be dated on
March 1 and the money will be
ready for delivery as soon as
the resolution is acted upon by
the court. Some members
sought to have a special session
of the court called to act upon
the resolution, which is a mat
ter of form, but the attorney
for the buyers says that regu-
lar session is required. Hence
the resolution will not come be-
fore the court until the first
Monday in April.
Thus another delay in the
construction of the county's
highways.
However, the buyers of the
bonds give assurance that the
bonds will be ready for deliv-
cry and the money forwarded
Immediately after the resolu-
tion is acted upon.
The engineers assert that if
plans for building the entire
system of highways provided
for in the resolution authoriz-
ing the issuance of 100000 in
road bonds, are made land

An appropriation of $75, ,OO0
for Maryville College was au-
thorized by the General Educa-
ton Board of the Rockefeller
Foundation Tuesday. This is
happy news to the college au-
thorities, alumni, students and
every Blount countian. Con-
gratulations to President Will
son on his success in the gigan-
tic task of securing this appro-
alton with which he has
been wrestling for many long
months.
In order for the College to
secure this appropriation, it
must raise 1925, 900, thus MAX
ing a total of 100000 endow-
ment and general building and
Improvement fund for the col
lege. The policy of the Rookie
feller Foundation is to use its
funds with a view of inducing
others to cooperate toward
the same ends. That this or.
ganization has confidence in
the local institution is demon
strated by the fact that this is
the second amount grant
ed to the college. The first
was an appropriation of $780,
900 in 1907, to secure which
the college raised 100000 IN
a short time.
The 100000 is to be called
the Centennial Forward Fund,
The college will celebrate its
hundredth anniversary in 1919,
and thus it is hoped to have the
fund in hand by that time.

Providence will guide us in Sc
curing the 1925, 900 necessary
to get the $75,OOO." he said,
"but it is a stupendous task"
DR.. Wilson, who has served
many years as president, has
been working many months to
secure this appropriation. He
will spend much of his time in
the field until the money is
raised. "Just figure out how
much | must average a day for
% months to secure the $685.
000," said DR.. Wilson, as he
left our office. But instead of
figuring that out we ask our
readers to figure it out, and see
the Herculean task DR.. Wilson
is undertaking. Every Mary
vile man should contribute to
this fund, and every alumni
should contribute. It's a job
in which every one should
want to take a part, and if
ever a town stood solidly back
of an undertaking, it should
support DR.. Wilson and the
college officials now, and there
are a good many ways in which
this support can be given. DR..
Wilson will go to New York in
a few days to sign up papers

Of the 100000 fund, at
least $175,000 must be applied
to the colleges endowment,
and the remaining 1925, 900
will be used in the construction
Of additional buildings, in the
agricultural department to be
established next fall, which is
to get $4,000, in establishing
a manual training department
and charging the science de-
partment.
DR.. Wilson said Tuesday
that this year the college has
turned away at least 100 from
the dormitories. The demands
on the college by boys and girls
from every part of the nation
and from foreign countries are
so great the college cannot
with its present equipment,
meet them. More than 40
counties of the state are repre-
sented in the student body of
the college. But when the
100000 now being asked for
is secured, DR.. Wilson says the
college will have passed the
danger mark, and will be on as
solid a basis as any institution
Of like character in the country
DR.. Wilson is elated over the
D ard'a aston That a school
in such a remote section should
have been benefited twice with
in ten years by gifts, when only
six such contributions have
been made to schools in the
state, and no other college
in the state has received an

GOOD ROADS
CONFERENCE
For officials To Be Held At
University OF Tennessee
Next Week
PROMINENT MEN SPEAK
State Highway Department
Will Cooperate With Un-
iversity Officials
PROMINENT MEN SPEAK

Great sums of money are eX-
pended annually in Tennessee
for the building of public
roads. When the best results
are not obtained it is usually
due to bad judgement in To-
cation, faulty engineering, or
to lack of maintenance.
For the better training of
county commissions and county
engineers, the State Highway
Department, cooperating with
the State University, will hold
three road conferences: Knox
vile, February Is to 18; Nash
vile, February % to 25; jack
son, February 20 to March 3.
These are short schools for
road builders. Excellent
teachers have been secured
who are specialists in their
various lines.
The question of maintenance
is yet unsolved, indeed is hard
ly considered in Tennessee.
Special consideration will be
given to this important ques-
ton.
The State Highway Depart
ment through it's commission
secretary and Chief Engineer,
must get in touch with with the
County Road Officials, as there
will be state aid for mainte-
nance of inter county roads, to
be expended under supervision
of the Highway Department.
Members of county road COM
missions and county engineers
are urged to attend these con-
ferences and take active part
in the discussion. No fees will
be charged for attendance.
Arrangements will be made
for rooms and board near the
University for all who so desire
The cost will be from $1.0O per
day up. Knoxville has several
very good hotels where rooms
may be had at $1.00 per day
and up.

CLAM UNDER PURE FOOD FIRE
Inquiry Started to Make Good Ones
Out of Bad Ones.

Washington, Oct Investigation
of the clam has been undertaken by
pure food experts of the Department
of Agriculture. DR.. Carl l.. Alsberg,
chief of the bureau Of chemistry, who
is directing the inquiry, says that
scientists believed that the clam to
be even more subject to pollution than
the oyster, which now is considered
virtually free from disease as result
of the interstate shipment regulations
instituted by the Department.
The clam is more or less mysterious
to Federal investigators. Little is
known regarding its so-called habits.
The investigation is expected to de-
velop what these are, as well as what
methods, if any. may be employed to
make good clans out of bad ones.
Oysters in polluted waters may be
cleansed by being transplanted for a
couple of weeks in waters that are
pure. Most of the clans consumed
in this country are taken from waters
close to shore during the summer and
fall, when the danger of pollution
from sewage is greatest
The scallop also is under investiga-
tion.

New York, Oct. 9.-Under an order
obtained from the Supreme court to
day John J. Dillon, state commission
er of foods and markets, and the Dairy
mems league will be required to show
cause why they should not be res
trained from interfering with or in
timidating' milk producers from do

company would receive no milk eX-
cept through the Dairymens league.
The milk situation in New York

so and 60 per cent of the normal sup
ply being received. An official Of
one of the distributing companies
which refused to sign contract with
the Dairymen's league asserted to-
night that between 100000 and 100000
COWS would be required to produce
enough milk to supply that concerns
patrons and would necessitate an out
lay of $10,000,000 should the proposed
project to establish barns within the
city be undertaken. This capital

Los Angeles. Cal, Oct. 9.-Believed
by his father to be slowly losing his
mind as the result of weird curse
called down upon him by broken
hearted woman, Antonio Lopez, Jr,
of Avila street, has become the object
of police investigation.
From Mr.. Lopez. Sr, a member Of
one of the oldest California Spanish
families, the detectives learned the
story of the unfortunate son. Accord
ing to Mr.. Lopez, many months ago
his son was engaged to an attractive
Mexican girl of good family. A low
ers' quarrel separated the two, and
the woman called curse down upon
the head of her late lover.
Shortly after the quarrel Mr.. Lopez
stated his son was stricken with ill
ness and taken to the County hospital.
He was operated on and then returned

have been in midocean.
No definite word had been received
up to noon yesterday of the fate of a
vessel recorded in wireless dispatches
Sunday as the British steamer Kings
ton, one OF the victims of German
submarine attacks inthe vicinity of
the Nantucket lightship Sunday and
Sunday night. These men, who were
thought in Boston to have left their
ship before she was sunk, were re-
ported to have been rowing their
small boats some 80 miles off the
lightship early in the day but num-
Der of the United States torpedo
boat destroyers cruised over a large
radius during Monday without sending
ashore any message that they had
found the Kingston's crew.
The story Of how ships came with
in range Of the U-boat raider so fast
off Nantucket that she had to keep
one waiting while she disposed of an
other was told at Newport r. L. yes
teTday by Arthur Gray, wireless oper-
ator on the Norweign steamer Chris
tian Knudsen. The Knudsen was sunk
about 9 o'clock yesterday morning and
the crew rowed about in small boats
for 10 hours before being picked up by
boat from the Nantucket shoals
lightship.
I'VE heard the sounds of firing some
time before the submarine hove in
sight Gray said but we had no
idea what it all meant. BY the time
we had discovered a submarine was
operating in our vicinity it was too
late to escape When we came on to
the scene OF action the undersea boat
was engaged with the British steamer
Stephano While the passengers and
crew of the Stephano were disem-
barking the Uboat ran alongside the
Knudsen and ordered us to steam
over nearer the Stephano.
while the submarine was along
side the Knudsen waiting for the cap
tain to take his papers aboard one
of the United States destroyers earae,
into view. Almost Immediately the
submarine disappeared beneath the
water and remained there untiI the.
destroyer came near enough to be rec
ognized as neutral vessel when she
Immediately came to the surface and
continued her work.
1--WE were told to pack up our be-
longings and leave the ship, which
we at once began to do We had pleaty
of time to get off while the submarine
was disposing of the other vessel We
had rowed some distance away before
the submarine fired on the Knudsen.
She fired at least $50 shots and these
not having the desired effect she cut
loose a torpedo which struck the yes
sci amidships and she soon went
down.

London, Oct. 9.-Bugar resistance is
growing weaker on both wings of the
$50 mile battle line in Macedonia.
Serb troops in the west and British in
the east have forced the troops of
Gear Ferdinand to retreat before them
and have won important successes.
The Serbs, in force, have cut their
way across the River Cerna at two
points, according to Athens despatch
es, the accuracy of which is admitted
by the German official statement from
Berlin Breaking down the strong de
fence the Bulgars made at Skochiyir,
the Serbians captured the village and
with it 200 Bulgars. The invigorated
Serbian army is now within striking
distance of Monastir.
The British have pushed forward
brushing aside weak Bulgar opposi-
ton, and are now very near Seres, the
extreme end of the Bulgar left wing,
in eastern Macedonia. The British

OF five villages, says
On the Strume front our mounted

north the villages of Chavdar Nah,
