COMPREHENSIVE SCHEME FOR
GENERAL HIGHWAY lMPDovE-
MENT MEETS APPROVAL.
is FAIR TO ALL SECTIONS
Unless County Gets Federal and State
Money 1t win Be Expended In Some
Other County-Community Road
Also Benefited.

Advocates of good roads in the coun-
ty profess confidence that at the meet
ing of the county court on August IL
the Jackson resolutions, together with
the suggestion of the council OF agri-
culture of the county, will go over by
safe majority. This plan does JUS
tice to every section of the county
land atthe sametime takes advantage
llof the state and; federal aid money
that win come to the county without
cost to the people. g.
First, the Jackson resolution pro.
vides 100000 to complete the originaI
highways PLANNED, the Mt. Pleasant,
Pulaski and Spring Hifi pixies. Two.
thirds of thes cost Of those roads viii !
be paid by the state and federal gov .
ernments. If Maury county does not
get the money some other: county will.
In the next place the, jackson plan
pledges the county, when the state
anu IcuShhi luiHtp .,ntc dNuiuuipta ~
make appropriations to take care of
the other state aid roads, the Will
Transport, the Lewisburg an d. Bear
Creek pixies.
Another resolution provides for
bond issue of 100000 for rebuilding
the non-federal aid roads leading into
Columbia. 1t is also the plan of the
farmers council to rebuild so as to
make them passable at all seasons of
the year, the highways within radius
all school houses. 1t is estimated
that 100000 will be ample Tor this
purpose, SO that total bond issue of
81 100000 would be authorized or only
three per cent of the county wealth.
This plan is so broad and SO fair to
all sections and at the same time
takes advantage of the generous offer
Of the federal and state highways to
furnish two-thirds Of the cost on. six
of the main highways. that i is be-
1ieyed all opposition to 1t will vanish
by the time the court meets. 80

Matthews-CreWs.
The Lawrenceburg Democrat, which
appears today, contains most inter
esting account of the wedding of j.
Ed Matthews, of Columbia, to Miss
Jim Kennedy Crews, of Lawrence
burg, which was soemnized there
Wednesday.
The groom is one of Columbia S
most popular young business men and
is head of the used car department of
the Maury Motor Corporation and is
widely known in this and adjoining
counties. The bride has been fire.
quent visitor in Columbia and has
many friends here.
The Lawrence Democrat says:
Prof. J. E. Thornberry officiated last
| Wednesday at the marriage of Miss
jim Kennedy Crews, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. James F. Crews of this city,
and James E. Mathews, of Columbia.
The ceremony was quietly but very
beautifully solemnized at Bro, Thorn
berrys study, at three O'Clock, with
only Mr.. and Mrs. B. S. Smallwood
ayd Miss Virginia Busby present, The
bride was strikingly attractive in a
travelling suit of blue tricotine, with
accessories to harmonic. She wore
a cerise bonnet. and corsage of white
rosebuds and lilies of the valley. AL
ter the ceremony Mr.. and Mrs. Mat.
thews left for northern motor tour
via Nashville, Louisville and Cincin-
natl after which they will be at home
in Columbia where he holds an i'm.
portant position with the Maury Mo.
tor Corporation. Lawrenceburg new
err had a girl more generally and cor
daily liked by young and old. She is
of that striking type of womanly
charm and beauty that attracts at
tention everywhere, and with all, a
happy amiability which makes lasting
friends of those who know her. The
finishing of her education was at st.
Cecilia in Nashville where she was
last year. This wedding is one of
widespread interest in this county
owing to the prominence of the family
of the bride; both her fathers and
mothers families being of pioneer
Lawrence county citizens. The Dem
ocrat wishes them every joy.

operations under the communist economic system-
win require very unusual abilities. 1t appears to
be Mr.. vandeglip's purpose to ask capital to be-
lieve that in the face Of the fact that all capital
has been con6seated in Russia, and in spite of the
reiterations of the Soviet government that hopes
to abolish the entire captalistic system through
out the world, that he has performed the miracle
of providing safety for capital in the midst of those
who have vowed to destroy it.
He has neglected to state whether there will
be a soviet of the workmen in the new enterprise
who will take charge of the operations and divide
the profits at the point of the bayonet He seems
to have overlooked the fact that many of the large
enterprises in Russia were built and owned by
American capital and that in Siberia itself there
is one such enterprise in which American and other
capital has invested SI8.ooo.ooo which has been
confscated outright by the Bolshevik government
1t would seem reasonable, in the light of this, to
expect that some very strong assurance should be
given to these American investors before they are
asked again to take any risks in this territory.
As propagandist and apologist for the Sow
let government, Mr.. Vanderlp has been success
full humorist and has contributed the much needed
comic relief to an otherwise gloomy situation. In
this capacity he is the hit of the season.
In the role of troublemaker in American-Jap-
anese relationship role in which Lenine appears
to be most interested-Mr. Vanderlip does not
seem to be making such great success 1t is
probable that the common .sense of both peoples
illuminated by an appreciation of the humor of the
situation, will prevent actual outbreak OF hos
tilities This very versatile has however
scored heavily in the press and has thereby be-
come an international figure of sort. He has quail
flied, perhaps, as the most worthy successor Of
DR.. Cook in American memories.
