Sheriff of Lee county and who
has resided at Beattyville for a
number of years, was drowned
in the Kentucky river Saturday
afternoon. Jameson was one of
the best known men in eastern
Kentucky and was known to be

Dixie WAY NEEDS
ANOTHER 100000

Officials and directors of the
Dixie Highway Association, at the
end of their third days tour of in
spection over the Eastern section of
the highway, disbanded Wednesday
evening at knoxville after coming
from London, where they passed the
second night of their journey
The party literally passed over,
through and under the proposed
Dixie Highway. The journey was
over wet roads, made unsafe and
tiresome by heavy rains, and, except
for occasional stretches of hard sur
face highway, all the vagaries of
mountain roads at their worst were
encountered. At one point be-
tween Jellico, Tenn, and LaFolette,
Tenn, two East Tennessee mountain
towns, the party was compelled to
wait more than an hour while work
men engaged on the proposed route
of the Dixie Highway raised to en-
able the automobiles in which the
party was making the tour to pass
beneath. The road otherwise was
impossible.
Frequent mishaps marred the days
travel. At one point in the Tennessee
mountains the car occupied by Carl
Fisher, of the Indianapolis Speedway,
Indianapolis, and other, slid off the
road. At other points machines
stuck in the mud and had to be hauled
out by hand with ropes, or teams had
to be obtained to pull them out of the
mud in order that they might pro-
gress.
According to officials of the associ-
alton, the most hopeful signs were
that in evidence in the mountain coun-
ties of Kentucky and Tennessee,
where the roads were at their worst
was the visible efforts toward i'm
provements, and the verbal promises
from city and county officials along
the way that the road would be grad
ed and surfaced in time for the dedi-
cation set for June by the association
officials.
Road Commissioner Rodman Wiley,
of Kentucky, who joined the inspec-
tion party at Lexington, on the first
day of the journey, assured Judge M.
M. Allison, Chattanooga, Tenn, presi-
dent of the association, that the Ken
lucky section of the roads would be
ready in time for the dedication.
Judge Allison and Secretary v.
d. l.. Robinson, of the association es-
innate that the proposed improve
ments which will have to be made in
that time will exceed 100000. the
major portion of which must be spent
in Kentucky, before the road can be
opened officially, and the travelling
public assured that the journey, which
is rich In interest and scenic effects,
can be made with any degree of COM
fort and safety.

SCHOOLBOOK MEN
meet AGAIN TODAY

The fight among schoolbook
publishers to procure contracts
for four years for text books used
by pupils in the public schools of
this state began Monday for the
second time this year at Frank
fort. The first adoption made this
spring, while Gov. Stanley was
chairman of the State Textbook
Commission, was set aside by the
court for irregularities. Governor
Black, the Chairman of the Com
mission, then requested the COM
mission to resign, but each mem
Der refused, so the commission
met Monday to make the adop-
tion as requested by law.
After receiving the bids, which
were not made public, the COM
mission adjourned until Tuesday
at 9 o'clock. a.
The Louisville Times Monday
said that fifteen minutes before
the State Textbook Commission
met at noon, Phil Grinstead, CO.
author with his brother, Wren
Grinstead, of the Eastern Kentuc-
ky State Normal School, of the
speller adopted by the commission
at its recent void adoption, de-
clared that his book would not be
offered to the commission. 1t
was the general feeling that the
contracts for the six readers pub
lished by the John C. Winston Co.
of Philadelphia, which company
Phil Grinstead represents, were
much more important and that he
gladly let go of the speller for the
reader contract. The speller was
to be published by the Transyl-
vania Publishing Company, of
Lexington, and it was believed
that this company would land the
writing book contract as it did
before. The fact that the COM
mission cannot make as many
changes as before made the stu
alton not SO easy for the book
men.
