JIM. cox FOR SEC
RETARY OF STATE

Our popular and efficient Circuit
Court Clerk, James M. Cox, is being
favorably mentioned for the office Of
Secretary of State to be filled by the
next legislature. We are not advised
as to whether or not Mr.. Cox will seek
the honor. but we endorse him without
stint or reservation. He is well worthy
of the highest honors within the gift
of the people, being honest, capable,
courteous and polite. He is an ideal
public servant, his whole purpose and
pleasure being to help and serve
others. Duty, service and courtesy are
favorite words in his vocabulary, and
his life is a constant exemplification
of these virtues in a marked degree.
He is a high-class Christian gentleman
and a splendid citizen. While he is
quiet and disposed to do the pleasant
thing. he is a man of superb moral
courage, taking a bold and uncompro-
missing stand for the right and always
loyal and faithful to his friends even
under trying conditions.
Mr.. Cox is a Democrat in faith and
practice. Next to his religion, his 10y
atty to his political convictions is one
of the most striking characteristics OF
his makeup, yet always tolerant and
considerable of the views of others. He
stands for moral men and measures
but prefers to make his fight within
his own party. To know Mr.. Cox IS to
love and appreciate him and wherever
he is known. he viii have strong sup
mort IL he decides to make the race
Eeve~vbody in Smith County, including
(. The women and children and old men
will be for him, and, if elected, he viii
fill the high office most acceptably
with much honor and credit to the
State.

River transportation

General use Of the Cumberland river
as means of transportation is des-
tined to play quite part in so far as
cost of goods and demands for them
are concerned. Merchants are well
aware that the lower the prices great
er the demand and it is manifestly
to their interest to keep costs down to
the lowest possible level. One means
that the merchants of the Upper and
Upper Cumberland river sections have
of doing this is to make use Of the
river for Transporting goods. Not
merely for the use Of river transpor-
tation, but because use Of the river
makes it rate factor. Without the
river the cost OF gods laid down to
them would be considerably higher,
the consumer would have to pay more
ard in the end this would cause de-
mands to dwindle.
The future of transportation costs
of this section of the country depends
upon the use made of the Cumberland
river. on which an adequate transpor-
tation service had been established.
