Board of Supervisors Met

Last Monday Judge Hammons
organized and instructed the
Board of Supervisors. After
swearing them in as the law d.
reefs he said: Gentlemen of
the Board, you occupy a very re-
sponsible and important position.
You are chosen to correct and
equalize the Assessors books of
your County. The books show
nearly one million dollars short
and it is your duty to find the
mistake. Ordinarily the tax list
is generally given in right and
they should not be burdened with
any raise or re-assessment. The
farmers of the County need pro-
lection"
Judge Hsmmons said further:
1T is as much your duty, gentle
men, to reduce a mans list if you
think It's given in too high, as it
is to raise him, if you think it is
given in low.
I'm other words the industries
or enterprises of this County are
the farmer, the coal business, the
oil business, the rail roads and
the banks, and | want to say
right here" he said, you should
not jump on the oil people who
have holdings here. Give them
a show. Let them develop our
County. Don't choke them out
with taxation. The C. & M. R.
R. Co., which is now completing
a road from Barboutville to Man
chester, is here to stay. We
should be proud of such an en-
terprise and proud of such a citi-
sen as Mr.. Heidrick. Don't think
they should be taxed. Don't
Cypress him with taxation; the
State will take care of that at
the proper time. Ten days is
your limit to be in session. Do
your duty to one and all alike"

Bad Habits

Those who breakfast at eight
O'Clock or later, lunch at twelve
and have denner at six are almost
certain to be troubled with indi-
gestion. They do not allow time
for one meal to digest before TAX
ing another. Not less than five
hours should elapse between
meals. If you are troubled with
indigestion correct your habits
and take Chamberlain's Tablets,
and you may reasonably hope for
a quick recovery. These tablets
strengthen the stomach and en-
able it to perform its functions
naturally. Obtainable every
where.

Times Pays Compliment
to Steele as a Candidate

Under date of December27 the
Louisville Times contained the
following article with reference
to one of our county Candidates:
SOL T. Steele, a well known
Barbourville Attorney, has en-
tered the race for mis- party's
nomination for County Attorney
of Knox County. Mr.. Steele has
long been prominent in G. o. p.
affairs in his section of the State,
especially as one of the active
managers for Judge Elem d.
Sampson in the latter three sue
cessful races, twice for Circuit
Judge and recently for Judge of
the Court of Appeals, and if he
can do as we'll for himself he
ought to prove a hard proposition
for his competitors. "

One of the problems President
Wilson and the present congress
will have to work out if the
United States is to have anything
like adequate protection is the
condition of the regular army
and the national guard. Neither
the army or guard is up to re-
quired strength and the Mexican
mix up" seems to nave knocked
all the preparedness plans in the
head.
For years it has been almost
impossible for the company COM
manders of the guard to keep
their companies NY to peace
strength, let alone war strength
and now that the boys have been
obliged to do police duty all sum-
mer it is easy to see that as soon
as they get free from the service
nothing short of real war will
ever induce them to re-inlist.
If it was impossible to keep the
guard at the required strength
in the time of peace before the
increase in the size of the organ
ization was authorized how can
the government expect to secure
men enough to fill up the ranks
to more than double the old siren
9Th? Especially after the guards
men have been made to do patrol
duty on the border with no fight
ing. If there had been a little
fighting with the greesers they
would not have minded it so much
but to give up good jobs and go
down there and work for their
board and clothes is not to their
liking.
If this country ever has an eff
fective army and the time will
come some day when it will, it
must provide for some sort OF I'M
iversal training and the sooner
we do it the better it will be.
The burden should be borne
equally by all men up to a GER
tain age and every young man
should be made to do his share.
If all young men were obliged
to serve three years, one in the
army and two as a reserve it
would only take him from his
occupation for one year and in a
few years we would have a re-
serve force of trained men that
would make other nations think
awhile before starting something
they were not sure they could
finish. The national guard scheme
will never be worked out salts
factorily for the reason that it
can not be kept up to strength,
