S1.OO A YEAR
STREET IMPROVEMENT

An effort is being made to Sc
cure money with which to grade
and macadamize the street lead
ing from Main to the X. & B.
depot between the stores of Tai
ley and Vann and Arthur Shir-
cross streets of Rutledge and
ley. This is one of the principal
when completed will add much
to the convenience of those go
ing to and from the depot. When
properly made it will also give
ample room for wagons and 9th
er vehickles to approach and
leave the station without the
trouble of making short turns.
The subscription list is growing
and it is almost certain the work
work will be completed before

There is plenty Of room In thA
world for everybody. Who claims
any special right Of way for himself ?
There are such claimants in plenty.
The great, burly fellow, for instances
(whose name might be spelled with
three letters) wants it. In the sub
way, recently, he was waiting for :
train. It cine and he made for it,
brushing frail women and small chh-
dren right and left. He claimed the
right Of way, says Pennsylvania
Grit.
A young man, whose dollars are
more than he can count, claims ths
right Of way because Of his dollars
Not that he has earned them; he
doesn't know their cost; he only
cares that they are his and will help
him to the right Of way he seeks
Money talks, and he seems to b.
saying, through it's voice: "Stane
aside / ride in golden auto there
foreSth highway Of life belongs Il
me. Out Of my way, or I'll run yo'
DOWN.
What is the results BE fouriahe
for a time; but by and By he run
against the chariot Of character
There is a collision. Hs discover
that his auto wasn't genuine, that !
was made Of FOOLS gold.
Here is a youth with claims Of an
other sort. His dollars are few an
hard-earned, and yet he wants th
right Of way to some Of the cppcE
<unitiss Of life. He has eyes to q
with, ears to hear with. and hand
to do with. His motive p6wer is tn
purpose to merit the things he SEEK
He decides that the train of his con
duct shall be needed by the engine o
principles. And so he seeks the wa
of right and finds glorious right Q
way.

CARD FROM SHERIFF HOP
PER AT RUTLEDGE

The following is a copy of a
letter mailed to the Knoxville
Journal and Tribune which that
paper failed to publish.
Rutledge. Tenn, 8-28-l7.
To the Journal and Tribune:
In reply to an article pub
lished in the Journal and Tri-
bune, August %, 1917, wish to
state that so long as the state
wide speed law of not over twen-
ty miles an hour in on the stat
utes of Tennessee, and aut0mo-
bilists continue to violate said
law, as such large number have
done since the new pike road
has been finished through Grain
ger County to Tate Spring, that
the law will be rigidly enforced
so long as am the Sheriff of
Granger County. The fast and
reckless driving of automobiles
has already done great damage
to the pixies of Granger Coun-
ty, besides injury to persons and
property along them.
It has been reported to this
Office that the citizens of this
county are in great danger in
attempting to travel on the pike
leading from Knoxville to Tate
Spring on Sundays on account Of
the reckless and careless driving
of autos. 1t is reported that
more than 80 per cent Of the
autos will not even give one hail
of the road to Granger County
people who drive in their bug
gies, wagons and autos.
The quarterly court of this
county has passed an order re-
quiring the sheriff and other Off
GERS of the law to enforce the
speedlaw to the letter, and it will
be done. We have no desire to
take advantage in prosecuting
autoists. The insinuation in the
Journal and Tribune that the
prosecution of the autoists
would mean some fees for the
officers, as a reason for such ac-
tion is hereby resented. The peo.
pie of the good county of Grain.
ger are more indignant at the
way they have been treated and
the way the pike has been dam.
aged by the auto speeders thar
the s"eeder could possiblyI,e, be.
cause he has been arrested fol
violating the speed laws of the
state of Tennessee.
All who continue to violate
this law in Granger County vii
be dealt with accordingly.
