TO IMPROVE ROADS
Carroll County Has So, ZOE. Ol
Automobile Fund

The State Road Department at
Nashville is starting a campaign
for road maintenance throughout
the state with a view to making
all state highways or intercounty
site roads 12-months-in-t he-year
roads. To accomplish this officials
OF the state department are solicit
ing the active cooperation of all
business leagues, automobile own
ers, good roads enthusiasts and
county road officers. The state
automobile license fund is to be
the nucleus with which the cam
paign will be started. On July l,
1917, the state department had a
total of $112,612.39 to spend in
West Tennessee.
OF this amount So, 702.01 is due
Curroll county. This county has
not expended at any time, any Of
the automobile fund.
With the exception of Shelby
and one or two other counties,
West Tennessee has no lard ser-
face roads, Che roads all being of
the earth type, which, without at
tentioR, are impossible during the
winter months, and but little bet
ter the remainder of the year. De-
partment officials claim these
roads can be made 12-months-in-
the-year roads if given proper at
tention.

COTTON CONDITION
Heavy Loss in Texas on Account
of DrOuth

The condition of the cotton crop
is 67.2 per cent Of normal, accord
ing to reports from correspondents
of The Commercial Appeal of av-
erage date of August %.
This compares with a govern
ment condition last month Of 70.5
per cent, 61.2 on August Is, last
year, and a 10-year average of
7O.9.
These figures indicate a total
crop of -, 259,OO bales, based on
the government method of calcu-
lating indicated yield from condi-
ton figures.
Severe retrogression in Texas
on account of drouth over prob
ably so to so per cent of the cot
ton growing area of the state con-
stitutes the biggest single factor
in the showing for the month.
The condition for the state of So
per cent of normal is loss for the
month of II points. In South
Central, Southern and Western
Texas the crop is a near-failure.
Besides Alabama and Georgia,
boil weevil are on the increase in
Mississippi, Louisiana and Ar
kansas, and there is now consider
able uneasiness over the fate of
the late fruitage, although in many
sections rather more cotton is al
ready made than is usual in boA
weevil years.
The crop as a whole is still late.
However, picking is making good
progress in early producing seq
tions, largely owing to dry weather
having caused early opening. In
the northern rim of the states the
size of the crop will depend greatly
on the date of killing frost.
Growers as a rule will probably
sell freely at current values, al
though there are many sections
where it is said farmers will stop
selling whenever the price drops
below Is cents.
In Tennessee the crop has i'm
proved greatly during the last
fortnight. The plant as a rule is Of
good size and color, is pushed out
and fruited well. The fruitage,
however, is two to three weeks
late and picking will be later than
usual. Labor generally is sufficient
to gather the crop, but a few cor
respondents fear a shortage owing
to the selective draft. Farmers
as rule are satisfied with current
values, and indications are that
they will sell freely should prices
keep up.

A Pleasant Word

The Paris Partisan last week had
the following nice things to say
about Battery d, and as some 25
or 80 of this company are Carroll
county boys we reproduce it here:
The officers and enlisted men of
Battery ID have come to be liv-
ing, vital part of the daily life of
Paris. Since the mobilization of
the battery here nearly a month
ago, the people of Paris have made
many warm friends among the SOL
diers. Their leaving our city will
be a source of the keenest regret
and a cause of many heartaches,
for Paris and Henry county have
given freely of her best young
men to the service of their country.
The officers are not to be COM
mended for having maintained
discipline among the men-they
are to be congratulated upon hav-
ing gotten together nearly 200
gentlemen. The men have not
been controlled by their officers,
because they controlled themselves.
Each of the officers realized this
and are proud of it.
Whenever the order comes for
the battery to entrain and it may
now come at any time the sol
diers will carry with them the rec
objection of many pleasant days
spent in Paris, and the realization
that their sacrifices are appreciated
by those they are leaving behind.
The people of Paris have received
and entertained the members of
Battery D in a manner that is not
accorded all men in the service,
and will bid them farewell with a
sense of having done all in their
power to make their stay pleas
ant one.
Battery D will leave its Paris
friends with their hearty good
wishes and kindest regards to fol-
low them wherever they may CO..

IMPROVE SCHOOL BUILDINGS
cOanty Board Of Education Take
Important Action

The county Board Of Education
had very important meeting last
Friday. The board had several
matters before it and among other
things determined upon the cree
ton of a building at Yuma and one
at Wilders ID the Nineteenth dis
trict, and also to aid in the
erection of an additional room to
the Landkford school building.
The building at Yuma is to cost
$l,250, and of this amount the
county is to furnish $3.50, the re-
mainder to be contributed by the
patrons, with the exception of a
small insurance fund. A building
committee was appointed, COM
posed Of j. A. Winters, I. j.
Belew and Eugene Gooch, with
G. L. Bateman forman of the build
ing crew. It will be a building
with two large rooms below and
one above. The upper room will
be occupied BY fraternal organiza-
ltions.
Wilder's school house was de-
stroyed by the cyclone last spring
and the board allows $40C to the
fund of the new building. The
community is to add to this amount
a sum sufficient to erect building
26x46 feet, with two rooms. About
$500 Of this amount has already
been subscribed. That commun-
ity wants a two-teacher school and
proposes to pay for one of the
teachers. They have the school
spirit alright enough and are plan
ming for a good school to begin
when the new building is COM
pleted.
Patrons Of the Landlord school
we're before the board asking as
sistance to erect an additional
room to their building, making a
three-room building. instead of
two. They agree to furnish all
the rough lumber and do all the
work, if the county will furnish
the finishing lumber. The board
acceptedthe offer, and the improve
ments will be made at once. The
Landlord school is one of the most
progressive in the county. Four
years ago that neighborhood had
two small log school houses. The
schools were consolidated and with
the consolidation sprung into ex-
istance a progressive school spirit
far in advance Of anything the
community had ever experienced
before. They will soon have
50, 900 building and the board has
already designated it as a County
High School of the third-class.

MOVING SLOWLY
Local Exemption Board Has Not
Finished It's Quota

moving slowly in completing its
work Of securing the required
number to be certified to the SER
vice of Uncle Sam from this county.
They are giving their attention
mostly to the claims Of registrants
who are seeking to be discharged.
Much confusion has been caused
here as elsewhere by the publica-
tion of alleged rulings on exemp-
ton matters that we're said to be
official and reliable, all of which
works hardship on the local
board. The local board has rules
by which it is governed and they
are taking all the time possible in
finishing up their work so that no
wrong may be done either the reg.
istrant or the government. They
are responsible to the government
for their action, yet they have a
duty to perform to the claimant
for exemption as well. and they
are trying to do the fair thing to
both.
Friends of the registrants in
their anxiety to render service in
securing their discharge some
times may forget that they are
treading on dangerous grounds if
they should undertake to use I'M
due influence to accomplish their
purpose. 1t is the duty of the
members of the board approach
ed in an improper or corrupt
manner to report the party
thus offending to the proper
federal authorities so that the full
penalty of the law may be applied
to him. Men should be careful
not to allow their zeal to lead them
to do an improper thing.

A Timid War
Under existing conditions, armed
neutrality is only another name for
timid war, and Germany despises

forms of feebleness. She does not
wage timid war herself and she neithe:
respects nor understands it in others.
Seemingly her submarine warfare has
failed and is less menacirg now than
it was seven weeks ago. We are
profiting and shall profit by its failure
But We have done nothing to bring
It about. 1t has been done solely by
the efficiency of the British navy. We
have done nothing to help ourselves.
We have done nothing to secure our
own safety or 20 vindicate our own
honor. We have been content to shell
ter ourselves behind the fleet of a
foreign power.
There's Going to Be War.
such a position is intolerable to all
self respecting Americans, who are
proud of the great heritage handel
down to them by their fathers ans

look truth in the face. Lut us dare to
use our own strength in our own de-
Tense and strike hard for our national
interest and honor.
There is no question about going
to war Germany is already at war
with us. The only question for us to
