GOOD ROADS CURE FOR

(By V. d. L. Robinson, Secre-

Just becaust seroplanes can get
along without highways. don't

tin lizzie or your asthmntic con-
verted motor truck can travel

the fact that it takes gas to make
both the aeroplane and the auto

thousand motor trucks which will

States.
Aeroplanse are here. Their use
for commercial purposes is being
developed at a ttrriffie speed. The

practical use of the aeroplane has
added o fourth means of trans
portation to that of the railways,
waterways, and highways, each
mode of transportation has its
own fitld of economic endeavor,

their particular fields be we'll de-

REPUBLICAN CON-
CRESSIONAL MEET

Pursuant to call of DR.. Willis
Idol, Congressional committee man
for Grainer County, Tennessee,
the Republican voters of said
County met n the Circuit Court
room at Rutledge on Saturday

vention which meets March 9,

One of the most enthusiastic
altitude flyers is old man H. C.
L. Mr.. Average Citizen has fran
tically attempted almost tvery
means to bring H. C. L. down
from the clouds and is now en-
deavoring to persuade Aviator In
come to pilot him in pursuit. It
is rathe strange that after trying
such aerial bombs as fair price
committees and price regulations
the Government and other battle
units putting up the defensive
fight have not given srions con-
sideration to the lowly highway.
Highway transportation with the
motor trucks htlp is ready to. ma
terially reduce the cost of trans
portation whic represents from
forty to eighty percent of the
cost of all food, fuel and clothing
to the ultimate consumtr. All
the highway wants is a surface
which will stand the pounding of
the motor truck for continuous
service every day in the year and
under all weathtr conditions.
There are now sufficient trucks
in the United States and in this
locality to meet the present TIMER
gency highway transportation
needs. The highways for these
motor trucks do not exist at this
time of year. If tht Railroads
'hould close down, Morristown and
every other community in this
section would need host of
aeroplanes to communicate with
the outside world.

buyers who represent the different
tobacco manufacturers and the
export buyers who make compe-

FARMERS BUY STOCK
The Planters Tobacco Ware
house Company has sold the ma
iority Of their stock to growers
and there Is some more stock for
sale. So any good farmer who
wishes stock may see J. o. Tyler

SEED .... ..
The very best variety of I'M
proved White Burley seed, known
as Judy's Pride has been secured
from a reliable grower in Ken
tucky and these seed are sold by
many growers of Kentucky at So
per ounce, but the Planters To-
bacco Warehouse Company has
cured limited amount of seed at
I6c per ounce and they are selling
to the growers of this section at
75c per ounce. An ounce of seed
will set A to 6 acres.

TO TAX PAYERS OF
GRANGER COUNTY

For the purpose of correcting
the false impression which pre-
walls in some parts Of your county
that the rate of taxation will not
be reduced as the assessment is
increased l beg to submit to you
a statement showing approxi-
mately what your State and Coun-
ty rate will be for 1920.
Based on the value of real es-
tate, established by proof thru
out the State. and upon the esti-
mated value of personal proper
ty and railroad and public utilj-
ty property, the assessment for
the whole State for 1920 should
exceed $2,00O,000,000, and your
State rate will be rs cents and per-
haps lower.

TOBACCO ACREAGE LARGE
PLANTERS ENTHUSIASTIC

The farmers are preparing to
plant and grow tobacco In Ham
blen and adjoining counties this,
on account Of the present high
prices and a short crop last year
there are indications of a higher
market next fall. .
The growers, for the most part
are planting small acreages, be-
cause Of the fact tn httame mas
cause Of the fact that the farmers
in the majority have never grown
tobacco before in this section.
Therefore, they want to make the
best possible crop the first year.
There is an indication of a
large acreage, withal, as over
1900 acres have been listed with
the Secretary, which is estimated
to be one-fourth of the crop In
the section. ..--.-

WAREHOUSE ASSURED

1t seems there has been some
doubt as to a warehouse going up
in Morristown, by some people.
We only wish to say again that
the Tobacco Warehouse will be
built and ready for operation when
the Tobacco market opens in this
section next fall. And already the
Warehouse Company has secur-
ed two big buyers and by the time
the market opens a full set of
good buyers will be on this market
