"A. M. Marr next appeared before
the court asking for the fixing Of the
salaries of members Of the election
board and recommending a salary of
twenty-five dollars year for each of
I'll eight members. This motion was
amended by some member of the court,
substituting five dollars fer the twen-
ty-fve. This amended motion pre-
vailed.
The next importGnt question con-
sidered was the manner in which the
county chairman hal kept his books
Judge Estes contended that the chair
man was required by law to keep q
full record of the receipts and dis
bursements of the county's finances,
and charged that Judge Upton was
not keeping any financial record. In
reply Judge Upton claimed that his
record was complete and that no
fault had been found with his method
of bookkeeping by the county commits
sion appointed to audit the books OF
all county officers. He was supported
in his contention by J. W. Byrn, who
as a member of the commission, had
Just reported the accounts of all coun-
ty officers correct with the exception
of few minor errors. The discus
sion was long and heated and was en-
tered into by several members Of the
court. Finally Esq. VIII. Curtin NOV
ed that the present method of keeping
the chairman's books be endorsed
This motion was endorsed by vote Of
twelve to six. A motion was ther
made that the chairman be required
to keep his books as directed by the
code. This motion prevailed by
vote of 13 to 5.
Judge Upton next placed before the
court an estimate of the amount Of
timber on the 10O-acre tract of lanC
in Hatchie bottom, owned by the coun-
ty. A recommendation that this tim
.ber be sold was defeated by the court
Trustee E. C. King next appeared
before the court asking to be released
from responsibility of taxes to the
amount Of something over $4,000, be-
cause of double assessments, lost polls
etc. After some discussion as to the ne
cessity of an itemized report, the court
granted the releases asked.
Other matters claiming the atten-
tion Of the court were the appropria-
tions for quarterly expenses and va
rious district matters presented by
individual members.
The new court made a splendid i'm
preston on those who witnessed it:
proceedings, in that it showed dis
position to continue the record Of the
former court in sustaining those inter.
ests which have done so much toward
building up the agricultural and eco
nomic interests of the county. Hay.
wood county is fortunate in having SC
many intelligent, progressive men as
members of this important body. Il
augurs well for the continued pros
perity of the county.

There were many new members
present when the Haywood county
court met Monday in its first session
since the August election, and much
interest was manifested by the public
in what stand these new members
would take on a number Of important
matters to be decided.
News had gone abroad that an effort
would be made to defeat the reelection
of the county agricultural and home
economic demonstrators who were
asking for assurance of reelection for
another year with increase of sala-
ries. Immediately after reading and
adoption of the chairman's report, this
matter was taken up on special order.
A motion was made by Esq. Thomas
Claiborne that B. M. Elrod be re-elect-
ed agricultural demonstrator with an
increase of 5000 per year in his sala-
ry, this increase to be supplemented
by an increase Of $100 on the part of
the government, thus making theyear-
ly salary $500 instead Of $1,500 as
heretofore. An increase of 500 was
also asked for Miss Ethel Corbett,
home economic demonstrator. Mrs.
Jonas Sternberger, representing the
women of the county, in a splendid,
practical talk, urged the court to re-
elect Miss Corbett with the increase
of salary. Mann Wills, s. F. Thomas,
J. W. McCleich and others spoke in
the interest of both departments, urg-
ing the reelection Of Mr.. Elrod and
Miss Corbett at the salaries mention

raise in salaries, urging that these Of

HOROSCOPE.
Monday, February Is, 1918.


This is an unusually fortunate day.
according to the reading Of the stars.
Mars, Jupiter. Neptune and Saturn
are all In benefic aspect.
1t Is a rule under which military
affairs should prosper. The planetary
sway seems to presage the develop
ment of great American leaders and
the acceptance of broadcast changes
in army standards. This means the
introduction OF novel and hitherto
unused methods OF warfare that will
astonish the world, the seers declare.
Mars comes into a power over the
United States that presages an in
fiuence of long duration, is is fore
told. This may mean the establish
ment OF universal military training
and it may signify, also, the need of
prolonged protection against enemies,
among which will be an Oriental ma
ton.
While this configuration prevails. ini-
tiative of all sorts should be success
full. This is a sway under which men
and women of vision should prosper
In planning for the future.

nection with the war.

a correspondent asked me which
sex has the greater influence over the
other.
Mans influence Is general. woman's $
is concrete. Men have far more in
! fluence over women as a sex than
women have over men In the lump,
but the individual woman has mora
/ influence over the individual man
than the Individual man has over the
! individual woman.
Men have moulded women as a sex.
They have uplifted her morally. They
have stamped their tastes and de-
sires upon her.
Women undergo the tortures of tho
inquisition because men demand that
they shall be beautiful. Men admire
slender women, and women fast and
starve to grow thin:
Men have sung the beauty OF a lit
| tie foot, and woman squeezes a num-
ber six foot in a number three shoe,
and perches herself up on French
heels that make every step an agony.
Men admire pink and white COM
pieXion, and women cheerfully sub
init TO being tortured and skinned and
parboiled by masseuseS and complex
ion specialists.
Men will not marry drunken and
disreputable women, or any women
who have not blameless characters,
and that has kept women as a sex
in the straight and narrow path.
But men take no trouble to beautify
themselves for women. You see no
fat gentleman dieting to acquire a
straight front figure to please the
, FEMININE eye. Nor is there u man who
, for the sake Of the abstract ideal of
beauty entertained by women endure
the misery Of tight shoes.
Nor has the influence of woman
ever been great enough to induce
men to lead the higher life, and
forego their vices.
on the other hand, while il is
true that woman en- masse is so
amendable to mans influence that
the whole feminine sex is as clay
in the hands of the potter. when it
comes down to the individual it is
the woman who does the moulding.
1t is one of lfe's little ironies that
men do not boast of the overwheI-
ming influence which they possess
with women in general-which is
great. But they are forever brag-
ging about their influence over
some one particular woman-whlch
is nil. Every man believes that he
can marry any woman he pleases
and make her over according to his
own cut paper pattern, when the
truth Is that he can no more alter
her than he could move the Rock
of Gibraltar.
That the individual woman has
more influence on the individual
man than he has on her we see i'll
lustrated disastrously in every sim
gle match in which a man married
a woman who is his inferior.
There never was a more fatally
erroneous idea promulgated than
that a man can lift a woman up to
his mental and spiritual level.
A woman often dTags man up
to the high ground on which she
stands. but an inferior woman is
dead weight that no man has the
strength to raise.
A clever. ambitious, pushing
woman can fairly shove a husband
into success. She can prod him into
making greater effort. She can
make friends for him. She can
teach him how to dress. She can
polish his manners.
But none OF these things can a man
do for his wife. No man can teach
a woman to dress. No man can teach
her social tact. No man can make
friends for his wife. because she'll be
jealous Of the other woman and hate

Truth" continued Mr.. Schroeder,
'is not alone in heaven. but is in the

all creation-man. It Is because Of this
force which melts away human op-
