COUNTY COURT TO
LOOK AFTER ROADS
Is Main Issue Before Court In Quar-
terly Meeting On First Mon
day in April.

Consideration of the road question
in the county, appropriations for road
repair, etc, will probably be the main
business at the quarterly meeting of
the County Court which convenes
here Monday. The county tax rate
was to have been fixed on this date,
but the state tax commissioners are
not ready with their reports, and the
fixing of the tax must be postponed
until the July meeting of the court
Members of the state equalization
board were here this week comforting
with the local assessors, and some
light on the matter will probably
be available soon.
Appropriations for road repair and
construction are certain to be asked
for on Monday, however, as many
roads in the county are badly in need
of work. 1t is thought that Contrac-
tor Calhoun will present to the court
a resolution in regard to the state
highway.
Other business that the court will
consider on Monday will possibly be
only the routine that occurs at every
meeting. And though no important
business it is thought now will be
taken up, still it is likely that as the
weather has moderated and some of
the roads improved that a recoro
breaking crowd will be in town on
court day.

ROGERS WILL Be
NEW POSTMASTER
Will Succeed Y. Q. Caldwell Whose
Term of Office Has Expired;
Was Assistant Postmaster.

1t is almost a certainty that Ross
Rogers will be the next Paris post
master. He was nominated by the
President last Friday, and his NOM
ination is now before the Senate for
ratification. He will succeed Y. @.
Caldwell, whose term expired sever
al months ago, and has been serving
until his successor is named and quail
ifies.
Mr.. .Caldwell's appointment as
postmaster was made by the presi-
dents cabinet. His term Of office
has extended from 1914 to 1920. His
gentlemanly courtesy to the public
has been an excellent characteristic
that is not easily and generally ex-
celled in public official. The many
recipients of his accommodation fa-
vors, and extreme courtesy are ap-
preciative of the fact that Mr.. Rog-
ers has been his assistant postmaster
for sometime.
Mr.. Rogers won the nomination ov-
er five other applicants. If the sem
ate sees fit to approve the presidents
nomination Of him, which they will
more than likely do, he will also be
a popuar postmaster, and his former
association with the business, will add
to his efficiency in the office.

UPHOLD DECISION
CHANCELLOR ROSS
in SMALLPOX CASE
Supreme Court Declines To Grant
Supersedeas Prayed For By
Board of Health.
MEN WHO INSTICATED
SUIT CLAIM VICTORY
No Small -Pox In Paris Now And No
Further Action To Be Taken
At This Time.

The supreme court refused to grant
the relief prayed for in the petition
of the county board of health for a
supersedeas to the decree rendered
by Chancellor Ross in the recent
smallpox case" upon hearing at
Jackson last week.
The opinion of the supreme court
sets out that "a sufficient showing is
not made to warrant the courts in
granting relief, and the application
is denied"
Thus, the L. & N. shop employees
claim they have won the final bout in
the suit, as the matter stands on
Chancellor Ross decision that in or
der for one part of town to be vacci-
mated, all other parts where infection
was in evidence should be vaccinated,
thus eliminating discrimination. How
ever, the local health board claim
that their policy has been exactly
along such lines at all times.
At the present time there is no
smallpox in the city and county, and
the matter is in statue quo.

MAYFIELD Is NOW
QUIET AS NIGHT
RIDERS ARE STILL
No Further Outbreaks Since Chute
Building at May6eld Was Burn
ed Last Friday.
RESULT OF ANTAGONIST
AGAINST MAYFIELD CHUTE
Ali OF May6eld's Tobacco Interests
We're Joint Owners OF The
Building Burned.

AL is now quiet at Mayfeld, and
there is no further evidence of acts
of night riders, since the tobacco
loose leaf floor house was burned on
last Friday morning. 1t seems that
that morning a band of men, riding
in like whirlwind from the north,
swept down upon the Mayfie1d Board
of Trades chute building before dawn
and burned it to the ground. The
men numbered over 150 and some
of them were armed with shotguns,
according to the statement of wit
nesses. -~-
The band brought with them
large can of gasoline, which they
poured generously over the frame
building and all around it. They
then applied the torch to a dozen
different places and the structure was
quickly mass of flame. Without
waiting to witness the destruction
they had wrought, the riders disap-
peared in the darkness.
The chute, erected two years ago
by the Tobacco Board of Trade, was
practically destroyed. 1t was
small building and wa svalued at
about $1,000. AN of Mayfelds to-
bacco interests were joint owners.
1t was a quarter of one o'clock
when the fire was first discovered. A
woman residing directly across the
street from the chute was awakened
by the noise of the riders and watch
ed them from her window. She saw
them pour gasoline and apply the
torch, and noted that some of the
men carried shotguns.
For some time there has been evil
dence of an ugly mood in some quar-
ters over the chute at Mayfefd. At
a Paducah meeting Tuesday, some of
the representative tobacco planters
pointed out that Mayfeld in the hub
OF the district activity and the chute
there has been in the opinion Of the
farmers the most serious obstacle.
A spirit of antagonism against the
Maytield chute has grown steadily
and many have expressed desire to
abolish it, Heavy sales through the
chute for the past ten days are be-
lieved to have FASTENED the action.
The empty gasoline can was left
behind by the men. They were not
masked so far as is known. The
chute was situated on Mayheld's
west side, in the tobacco warehouse
district. 1t was said the men all
came from the north.

BOY SCOUTS in
WEEKLY MEETING
Scout Master Bridges Making Popu-
lar Director of Local Organiza,
tion; New Members Added,

Twenty-Five Scouts who were pres
ent at their regular weekly meeting
at Lee School gymnasium Friday ev-
ening at 1880, pledged whole hearted
support to their scout master, Toy
Bridges, who gave them an earnest
and instructive talk following the
usual drin. A unanimous promise to
aid the betterment of their organi-
zation was given. Three new scouts
initiated at this meeting were John
Taylor Gatlin, Robert Clover, and
Jack Buckingham. Newly appoint
ed assistant scout master, Robbins,
added to the interest of the evening
with valuable suggestions regarding
scout lore, and scout management.
Scout Master Bridges, who because
of army training coupled with natur-
al tact, is making a popular and sue
cessful leader in the scout work, and
has the following to say to parents
of Boy Scouts, and to parents of all
boys who are eligible for member
ship in the Boy Scouts:
Heretofore the Boy Scouts of Paris
have not accomplished a great deal
in the line of actual Scouting. This
is due, for the most part, to the lack
of leadership, but some of the fault
can be traced to the lack of under
standing what the Scouting program
really is, and further to lack of en-
couragement and cooperation on the
part of the parents.
If you have a son who is a Scout,
get him to ten you about it, every
thing from the Scout motto to the
Scout law, and do your part in en-
curaging him to live up to his
pledge.
We have only recently started
work with the Boy Scouts, but we
are working hard to get the troop on
its feet and with the help of Mr.. E.
G. Robbins, who was engaged in the
Scout work for some time before
coming to Paris, l think we will be
rewarded by success in the near fu-
ture.
Following is the Scout Law, which
will give you some idea of the pur-
pose of Scouting. If you have a
boy get him interested in the idea
and encourage him to live up to the
Scout Law and make it a part of his
everyday life and you will be doing
a great service both to your boy and
to the coming generation as whole:
A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, help
full, friendly, courteous, kind, obe-
dient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean,
and reverent.

STATE WILL PAROLE
PRISONERS TO FARMS

The shortage of farm labor will be
relieved in part in Tennessee by the
parole of prisoners from the penal in
stitutions.
Gov. Roberts announced today that
so many appeals have reached him
for assistance that he had decided to
parole to farmers every inmate of
the state prison who could comply
with the parole requirements.
Farmers attribute the shortage of
labor to high wages being paid in cit
les, which have drained the rural dis
tricts of young men.
