SUCK CREEK ROAD O. K.
President Reed, of Auto Club, Reports
at Thursdays Meeting.

The weekly meeting of the Chatta-
nooga Automobile club was held Thurs
day night in the Office of the Dixie
Highway association at the Hotel Pat
ten. The most important matter that
came up was a report made by Presi-
dent Z, d. Reed showing that the Suck
Creek road from here to South Pitts
burg was in good condition. The only
part that is not yet passable is that
part between the Suck creek bridge and
the Marion county line, covering a dis
lance of about mile and half. How
ever, the Marion\ county road authori-
ties expect to have their part of the
road completed very shortly. This
county already has been promised $780,
900 by the state and $50. 900 in addition
to this will be raised by the Marion
county people so that the road can
be finished. When this road is COM
pleted it will be one of the best high
ways around Chattanooga. AS it is,
it has become quite popular with a
number of automobile owners already.
John Lowell reported that the high
way between here and Nashville will
be completed by July. 1890 He de-
clared that Chattanooga now has the
best prospects for good roads leading
to the north that it has ever had.
Secretary V. d. L. Robinson was not
present at the meeting due to the fact
that he is on a tour of inspection with
a number of roadmen between here
and Nashville.

out. Secretary o. P. Henderson, has
so far been able to make room for
every exhibit offered.

The state fair has increased 700 per
per cent in five years, which has
given it the soubriquet of 1.-THE Fair

Although there will be many more
exhibits than ever before there will be
the same proportion of premium

WASHINGTON d. C.-Forced tc
do SO by the Republican congress, ir
response to its resolution, President
Wilson has submitted detailed &C
counts of the expenditure of the
81 Sc, 100000 given him at his own re-
quest for war purposes.
These are deemed unsatisfactory by
Chairman Good, of the house appro-
priations committee and other mem
bers of congress, because they are in
many instances vague and general, and
because they reveal the cost to the
people of unchecked authority and the
tendency toward participation by the
United States government of all ma
tions.
Aids Russian Civilians.
For instance, members are shocked
to find that the president has out of
his fund given $S,OOO,0O0 to relieve the
condition of Russian civilians in the
Archangel district. Several thousands
Of American troops are there. though
wah has not been declared upon the
Russian government since it did not
make good as one Of the allies. An
other five millions was given to "im-
prove economic conditions in Rus
sia." Anarchy is generally conceded,
in dispatches through the state de-
partment, to prevail there, and this
sum was given to remove it. Mem

this fund also.
Peace Treaty Worth Millions.
For the expenses of the president
and his large encourage in the par
ticipation in the making of the treaty
OF peace at Versailles and for the
department of state generally in this
connection, there is an expenditure by
the president out of his fund OF
$8,3o3, 24s-this during period of
about five months. Bernard M.

Salvation Army and its service as any
he could pay after more than a yeal
with the Salvationist workers in

The Chaplain, after speaking to the
Eiks at their state convention at Yaki-
ma went to Spokane to deliver several
addresses. After one meeting little
timid, gray haired woman, waited pa
tlently after the meeting to say a word
to the Chaplain. Finally she got him
Her eyes were still glistening with

Chaplain told the story of his own

he had told of his boys appeal for him
to do something for the Salvation
Lass that was ministering to the BOYS
at the front was still fresh in her
mind, for she said.
Chaplain, |, too, had a boy over
there, and he, also, couldn't say
enough for The Salvation Army. He
came home safe and sound and when
he got back to me, and L had taken
him in my arms, and had prayed to

then he said:
Mother, if you must make such an

over there were real people. You give
it to them"
"And so." continued the mother,
when read that you were to speak
in Spokane, came over here to hear
you, and | have brought with me

And Chaplain Jones who goes about
daily bringing tears to other peoples
eyes with the pathos of his war stories,
found himself in a worse plight than
ever was his most sympathetic aud
fence. The tears were as big in his
eyes as any he had ever seen in the
eyes Of his audiences. He didn't want
to take the money, but the little
mother was insistent, so the draft for

committee, and the little
