almost impossible. And it was these
roads we had in mind when we de-
clined to make reply to the criticism.
AS to the schools, there is barely a
county in the state that has as good
schools as it should have, and we do
not feel that the criticism casts any
reflection, whatever, on Smith county's
teachers; otherwise, we would have
readily challenged the statement, for
we agree with Mr.. Allen that we
have a corps of teachers as excellent
as can be found in the state. The cred
liable school building at Gordons-
citizens for high school purposes,
an institution is not Forthcoming, ex-
cept directly from the pockets of the
citizens from that community, the
County Court having refused to make
a levy for this purpose. The same
conditions are presented at Elmwood,
while the scent tax levied by the
state is being used in conducting
the high school department of the
Carthage school. We feel that the
state tax should be supplemented
by a county assessment for such
amounts as are necessary to conduct
schools of this kind, not only at Car
thage, but Elmwood, Gordonsville,
Lancaster and all other communities
where the demands require it. Good
schools are the greatest asset any
county can have. And it was these
things we had in mind when we
printed the criticism.
AS to the public health of the coun-
ty, we made mention of the County
Courts action at it's January quar-
terly session in apprOpriating $500
toward this work, and we commended
the action of the court for so doing.
Last fall, however, a representative
of the State Board of Health at
Nashville was summoned to Smith
county to assist in checking the
epidemic of typhoid fever which was
raging on Defeated Creek and taking
a heavy death toll. Upon arriving,
he stated that he could do nothing as
the county had no funds for such pur-
poses. We think that the good health
of our citizens should be safeguarded
more closely than anything else. And
it was this we had in mind when we
permitted the criticism to be printed.
We have always stood ready to
fight the battles of our county, but
we feel it our duty to call attention
to our shortcomings with a hope of
correcting them, as well as to COM
mend the good deeds. The crying
need of Smith county is good roads
and we are ever ready to give our
best efforts tn any and all matters
pertaining to the county's welfare.

Half Your Living
Without Money Cost

We are all at danger point. On
the use of good common sense in our
1919 farm and garden operations, de-
ponds prosperity or our 'going broke"
Even at present high prices no one
can plant all or nearly all cotton buy
food and grain at present prices from
supply merchant on credit, and make
money. Food and grain are higher in
proportion than are present cotton
prices.
It's a time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your own
acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece Of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to furnish nearly half your liv-
ing. It viii save you more money
than you made on the best two or
three acres of cotton you ever grew!
Hastings' 1919 Seed Book tells all
about the right kind ofNa money saw
