owners along this stretch might not
 suffer from the elimination, it was
 proposed that the property owners in 1 other parts of the district raise a
 fund by personal subscription for inn
 provement of the road, the work to be done under tn esupervision of the
 county judge.
 Accordingly, committee, composed of Commissioner Jesse R. Core, D. E..
 Tucker, and c. H. Triplett, Jr., was
 named to appear before County Judge
 Williams and the property owners
 who would be affected by the elimina-
 tion and ascertain if this part of the
 work can be eliminated.
 It is believed by the commissioners
 that $125,O0 can be secured from the state highway commission for assis- tance in building the road, and all of the commissioners will go to Little Rock today to confer with members of
 the commission.
 The meeting yesterday resolved it. self into a general discussion of the action of the commissioners at the meeting last week after a petition was from property owners in the dis trict which requested that the road either be built as contemplated when the district was organized, or that the commissioners resign and let the county judge appoint new commission CTS.
 Suggests Commissioners Resign.
 The discussion grew heated several times, and several of the commission CTS took occasion to flay the actions of those commissioners who had vot- ed for the abandonment of the road. Jesse R. Core, who bitterly opposed the abandonment, moved that the commissioners go in body to the county judge and resign with the re- quest that he appoint commissioners who would build the road Commis- sioner D. B. Niven, who was member of the legislature which created the district, stated that had the special session of the legislature been exten- ded, he would have introduced a bill to have new commissioners appointed in order that the road might be built.
 Chairman Philpot stated that the commissioners who voted for abandon ment did so because the cost of the raod was too great. Commissioner D. L' uChcT SCdIcu CldI ne wanted good roads, but ehdidn't believe in paying an excessive price for them Commissioner Triplett declared he did not believe the property owners would want the road built if they knew what it would cost them.
 Dr. J. D. Niven, of Tucker, told the commission of the great need for good roads in the northern part of the county. J. F. Quattlebaum, of Sher- Till, also spoke in, behalf of good roads in the northern part of the county.
 Although the meeting yesterday was for the purpose of receiving the report on the expenses of the district incurred thus far, with view to making an assessment sufficient to pay off all accounts, there was no ac- ton taken except to receive and file he report. The morning session,

Legion Proposes
 Practical Aid for Ex-Service Men

Sam M. Levine, chairman of the Allen Hearin post of the American Legion returned yesterday from Lit tie Rock where he attended meet ing of county chairmen from more than 40 counties in the state. The meeting was presided over by J. J. Harrison, state chairman.
 The general discussion of plans and aims of the organization in- cluded consideration of the establish ament of labor bureau for returned soldiers, and also a war risk insur- ance bureau. The former would aid the government bureau in securing jobs for returned soldiers, while the latter would be of service in assist ing the service men in settling prob lems connected with the war risk in- surance and allotment acts.
 According to MT. Levine, the meet ing was an inspiration to all county chairmen, and the possibilities of the organization was more forcibly impressed on the minds of the chair men.

Commissioners of District IA Get Together on Tentative
 Plan.
TO ELIMINATE PART
 OF PROPOSED ROAD
Costly FOur-Mile Stretch Would Be Built By County Judge and Paid for by Public Sub-
 scriptiOns.

As result of the meeting yester- <; day of the commissioners of Road Improvement district No. IA, which met primarily for the purpose of set tling up the business of the district declared abandoned by to vote of the commissioners at the last meeting there are prospects that the district may not be abandoned after all, and that the network of roads north of the liver will be constructed.
 Following the previous meeting at which the commissioners voted to abandon the road because the esti- mates prepared by the engineer were too high, some of the dissenting com missioners, number of the property the commissioners for abandoning the project for what was to be one of the best systems of roads in the state.
 At the meeting yesterday, the com misioners did not rescind the abolish ment action taken at the previous meeting, but the sentiment yesterday was for the continuation of the dis trict, and the building of the road. After certain investigations have been made, and some of the difficulties which beset the district at the time of the latest meeting cleared away, it is probable that the previous action will be rescinded.
 To Build With Contributors.
 The atmosphere was considerably cleared yesterday when proposition was intertained which provided that about, four miles of road in the dis trict, and a stretch which would be highly expensive, should be eliminated. The road is stretch of four miles in the northwest corner of the district, which it is estimated, would cost ESQ.,. 900, the higher proportion of cost arising, it is said, because of the long .houls which would be necessary for

SENATORS FIND
 TIME TO FIGHT 4
 PEACE LEAGUE
Covenant and Shantung Settle ment Come in for Bitter
 Criticism.

II Washington, Aug 5.-The league
 of nations and the Shantung settle
 nfent both came in for more bitter criticism today in the senate's con-
 sideration of the treaty with Ger
 many.
 ! At a public hearing of the foreign
 relations committee issues of the league controversy started a dispute
 which bordered on an uproar and in the senate chamber an attack on the Shantung provision by Senator Wat /, son, republican, Indiana, developed a series of sharp exchanges.
 The committees clash over the
 league grew out of the examination 1 of Norman Davis, a financial adviser | to the Versailles peace conference and centered in a heated discussion of the attitude of President Wilson toward supplying the committee with |adequate information.
 Chairman Lodge, replying to sug- gestion that the president be asked to come before the committee, de- clared MT. Wilson never had offered to do so and had failed to send im- portant information repeatedly asked for. Senator Pittnan, democrat, Ne vada, replied that in his address to congress, such an offer had been made, but the committee majority had ignored it.
 Once the subject of league had bene raised, the league opponents gave foretaste of what may de- velop when Secretary Lansing ap- pears before the committee tomorrow by keeping the witness under rum ming fire of questions relating to pro- visions of the covenant. It was when MT. Davis declined to pose as an ex- pert on the subject and, in reply to a question, suggested that the presi- dent be consulted, that the commit tee members clashed over MT.

OBITUARY.

Died, at her home on the SEWER
vile Pike, July 81, 1919, Mrs. Mar
garet Hall Cupp, widow of the late
William l.. Cupp, aged 50 years.
This notice, while not a surprise to
friends who knew of her long illness,
caused deep sorrow. Margaret Hall
was born Sept. 6, 1849, and at the
age of eighteen years was married
to William L. Cupp. This union was
blessed with thirteen children, ten
of whom survive her.. James, Lay
fayette, Robert, Charles, Coll ACHE,
Ira, Richard, Mrs. John Whitehead
and Annie. Also one brother and
five sisters, and a host of friends
who mourn her departure to her
heavenly home, not mourned as one
who is lost, but rather as one who
has attained. We feel that our loss
is her gain, and that in her death
another link is added to the chain
that draws US heavenawrd. Grand
ma Cupp," was a good neighbor, a
kind, gentle and loving mother, and
there is no friend like mother; only
those who have lost a mother know
that it leaves an aching void in the
family that cannot be filled. To
the children was given the honor of
ministering to their mother in her
illness, all devoting themselves with
great cheerfulness and tenderness
to her care. At an early age she
made an open confession of her
faith in Christ, and was admitted to
the sealing ordinances of the church
at Six Mile. Through change in
residence the family became men,
bers of the First Baptist Church in
service which was conducted by her
pastor the Rev. J. Allen Smith, D.
D., her body was laid to rest beside
her husband in Pleasant Hill ceme-
terry. Blessed are the dead who die
in the Lord, from henceforth; yea,
with the Spirit, that they may rest
from their labors, and their works
do follow them.
A Friend.

MRS. J. M. BISHOP

Death is the relentless foe and
ruthless enemy of our race. His voice
has been heard in every household.
His footprints have been left on
nearly every hearthstone in the land.
He has torn many of our dearest
friends and loved ones from our en-
brace, and left us waiting and weep
ing while they have silently passed.
through the Heavenly gates of pearl
which are swinging back on their
golden hinges to admit a triumphant
entry to all of Gods saints into the
glories of the New Jerusalem, and
Heaven is teir home for evermore.
We would not call the back to this
sin cursed world if we had the pow
er, for our love bids them wear
their crowns and sit on their thrones
as kings with. the King of kings, eter
nalIy In the Heaven of Heavens.
Once again only a few weeks ago
IN our county home was hung with
the sables of mourning, and its in
mates hearts torn and bleeding be-
cause the Death Angel had called
beloved sister and aunt to cross the
still waters of the last river and en-
ter the sun bright shores of eternal
dellverance. The short night of stuff
erlng and sorrow gave way to the
golden dawn of an endless dav of
Joy, and gladness, and Mrs. J. NJ.
Bishop is no more.
She departed this life July 18th,
1919, after an illness of nearly one
year. She was the wife of the late
j. NJ. Bishop who came to Blount
county some years ago and who
preceded her to the spirit land July
16, 1916. She was the daughter of
the late G. NJ. Costner, well known
farmer of the county. She leaves
behind to ourn her loss one brother
and two sisters, Arthur Costner
and Miss Nellie, of Blount county,
also one sister who is in the West.
A more patient sufferer never
lived than was Mrs. Bishop. She
professed faith Christ when quite
young and united with the Methodist
Church at Carpenters Camp Ground
near her home where she lived a
consistent member until her death.
The most prominent characteristic of
her life was her cheerfulness to
look on the bright side of things and
make others happy with her kind
words and deeds. Her interment
was in the old Camp Ground Gene
terry where she awaits the resurrec-
ton morn. "He that over cometh.
snail inherit all things and l will be
ms GOD and he shall benz V son."
