STATUS OF BOND BILL.

We understand that the bond bill as
printed in these columns last week
has been introduced in the legislature
and will probably be passed. How
ever il is subject to ratification by the
neoule in an election to be held with
in so days after its passage
We do not think the bill will be ac-
cepted by the people. They are heart
ily sick OF issuing bonds to build
roads, and the fact that it will raise
the tax rate to $500 on the hundred
is discouraging to many who, other
wise, would be in favor OF more
bonds to finish the roads.
It is too bad that this bill could not
have come out prior to the late la
mented 800, 900 farce, 1t is a mnch
better bill every way than the other,
fairer to all parts of the county,
dawn up, so we understand under
government provision, and assured OF
government assistance, If passed. dollar

devised whereby the tax rate could De
lowered. or not made so excessive a.
SS 90, the people, no doubt, would
vote for 1t, but as it now stands II
seems an impossible proposition to
people who are already taxed for about
everything they eat, wear or do.
Another point 10 the excessive mil
cage, which would have to be main
tanned In it, not less that three noun
tain roads. Road building in Ma
rion county is problem and manu-
featuring interests being 30 slow In

on the farms, it would be better fol
the owners not to hold them. but
withdraw their money at sacrifice
and put 1t into government bonds as
safer and cheaper way to get Interest

Anybody who can offer plar
whereby the tax rate can be reduced
will confer favor on hundreds o.
Marion County citizens who wan

The law as we understand it has an
other good feature. The money would

RUSH BREAKS JAIL

escape were Victor Rush, VIM

Rush had over $50 when he was
put in the Dayton Jail but it seems
he had been allowed to keep the
money. He had spent the most
of it buying a suit of clothes and
things for himself and other pris-
oners to eat. When he got out
he is thought to have had about
nine dollars. Why a prisoner
would be allowed to retain money
when in Jail is what is puzzling
many persons.
So far as we have been able to
learn no reward has been offered
for the arrest of Rush. which will
no doubt work indirectly favor

country.

Friday afternoon of last week
a shooting took place on the noun

Emmett Harris shot his brother,
Dan, in left knee with load of
No. a shot, about 80 shot taking

The trouble it seems was over a

Dan says he will not prosecute

Friday night Victor Rush es-
caped from the Rhea county Jail,
DAYTON. and up to the time OF
going to press no information as
TO his whereabouts has been learn
ed. Since he was in company
with a notorious bootlegger, who
it is claimed, is familiar with the
mountain country east OF Dayton
to the North Carolina line, it is
regarded as very doubtful of his
being arrested.
Rush made his escape from the
Crossville Jail about two weeks
previously but his term OF liberty
was short as he was picked up at
Spring City about eight O'Clock
the evening of the. second day.
Sheriff Toilet and posse were
close after Rush and had phoned
the Spring City officers to be on
the lookout. Rush entered a res
turant at Spring City and the Of
ficers picked him up.
HOW HE ESCAPED.
The escape from the Dayton
Jail was very similar to the way
in which he got out here. The
name of the negro bootlegger who
was with him is Lee Crochet.
The escape was made by priz-
ing the bars apart with steel
railing torn from a bunk in Crock
ett's cell and with which he for
ced entrance into Rush's cell, and
both together priced the bars a.
