Judge L. B. Johnson and Mr.. John
Henry Davis happened to meet in the
office of the Circuit Court Clerk Mon
day and had quite a discussion on the
good roads bond issue, in question,
each making speeches and r~ejoinders.
We are informed by a gentleman
present that when the discussion be-
gan there were two anti-bond issue
citizens present and when the discus
sion closed both expressed themselves
as favoring the proposition. One Of
the ants referred to has been writ
ing articles against the bond issue.
There is yet time for Mr.. Davis to be
converted, for we are told that "While
the lamp holds out to burn, The vii
est sinner may return" Mr.. Davis
made the statement that none were
benefited by good roads except those
living Immediately near them and
that nobody in Henderson county has
been benefited by the building of the
railroads except those within a few
miles Of the lines. He also said in
answer to the arguments that good
roads would bring better schools, bet
ter churches and better attendance to
both, What's the matter with the
people?" They have been going to
the churches and schools for q hun
dred years over the road we have"

Miss Helen Ring Robinson, former
State Senator of Colorado, has been
attending the Congress of the Inter-
national Woman Suffrage Alliance at
Geneva, Switzerland. AS stated the
lady named is a "miss"-missed get
ting married, missed being the moth
er of children, yet she tells US all
about how capable women are in
nursing" and caring for children"
We decline to accept the uninitiated
as authority in such matters-but in
this country it is the s~pinsters, in
public gatherings who have most to
say about the rearing Of children.
Miss Robinson also has much to say
about "legislating," yet her expert
enee in that line is the same as the
other, for she has never legislated.

Norman Fl. Davis, formerly of Bed

Undersecretary of State to succeed
Frank L. Polk, of New York, who re-

Mr.. Davis has been acting Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury and is a
brother of Congressman Ewing L.
Davis, of Tullahoma, the fifth con-
g%ressional district, and Paul M. Da-
Wis, first vice-president of the Ameri-

One of the finest features of our
Republican form of government is the
fact that the poor man has one vote
just like the rich man. Hence, if you
are not rich in this worlds goods,
you can do just as much on Saturday
of this week for Henderson county as
the biggest taxpayer on the Trus-
tees books. 1t is inconvenient to be
poor-but much worse to be a mill
stone.
