While he has not yet completed his

there is no material conflict between

this county will continue in full force
and it will not be in any way super

vision in the original act which would
have made the auto levy in lieu Of 9TH

county levy when made by the county
court, will be effective.
Mr.. Shelton went to Nashville last
week and procured copy of the gen
eral act and has carefully read and
considered 1t. He is today making a
detailed comparison of the provisions
of that act with the Maury county
road law so that when the county
court does convene he will be in a
pDsition to give fun advice as topthe
operation of the two acts. Tennessee

net change the old act save in the per-

of money it raises. 1t retains the ten

the legislature two years ago.

INDIANS
At PEACE AFTER
YEARS OF WAR

SITKA, Alaska, Dec. 31.-War,
mostly of the %smoldering variety,
but which in past generations has
blazed up and drawn blood, no
longer exists between the Sitka
and Wrangell clans of the Kock-
Wan-Ton caste of the Thlinket In
dian tribe of southeastern Alaska.
Peace was declared at a meeting
Nov. IL, the same day on which
the world armistice was signed.
Democratic principles taught the
younger Indians by United States
government teachers prevailed at
the peace conference. The Indians
decided to set aside their tribal
customs. Disputes, the Indians
decided, in the future will be set
tied by the white mans law, in
stead of by hostilities.
No Indian now living can re-
member the time when the Sitkas
and Wrangells were at peace.
There has been bad blood between
them for years. The last futile
attempt to make peace took place
in the early eighties, when Jack
Yaquan, father of one of the del
egates at the last meeting, led his
tribe of Sitkas to Wrangell to
make peace. A war cry greeted
their arrival and nearly all the
visitors were massacred by the
Wrangells. Chief Yaquan was
among the Sitkas killed.
Old men of the tribes, it is said,
refused to let the hostility die
and endeavored to keep alive the
fires of hatred. With the passing
of many of the old tribesmen,
however, the younger men, i'm
bued with the ideas of modern civ
ilization taught them in the COY
eminent schools, decided they
wanted peace.
In 1917, Chief Shaks, of the
Wrangells opened peace negotia-
tions with Jack Yaquan of the Sit
'kas. He urged the sending of
peace delegates to Wrangell, where
he proposed the leaders of the two
clans should heal the old wounds.
So at the close of the fishing sea-
son a delegation of Sitkas went
to Wrangell and, after a week of
''pow-wows," decided to let by
cones be bygones and to abolish
the old customs. Chief Shaks,
the father of the peace move, died
before the meeting was held.
So now there is peace on the
northern waters and islands and
