the army engineers and the object Of
building a bridge at some logical point
in this section was regarded as more
important than the question Of exact
location. The meeting was held at the
borad of trade rooms.
"The South Carolina committee an
nounced that 100000 is assured from
their state for the bridge and resolu-
tions were adopted petitioning the
Chatham county commissioners to ap-
pear personally before the state high
way commission to ask assistance in q
JOINT survey with the South Carolina
committee relative to a site and the
cost of construction. Another resolu-
ton was passed expressive of a ia
vorable sentiment in the community
toward the proposed bridge and pro-
viding that after the surrey the coun-
ty commissioners should sumit to the
people tht question of bond issue
for the erection of the bridge.
at was stated that it would be i'm
practicable 20 build bridge farther
above Savannah than Beck's ferry, 27
miles away. An explanation of the
Georgia law in regard to the con-
struction of bridges between counties
was made, which showed that the pro-
vision is that the stream shall be nc
wider than 1000 feet. Following this
explanation, county attorney, George
w. Owens, was asked to prepare @
Bill to present at the next session OF
the state legislature with view tc
amend this feature of the law.

THE SABBATH AND
IT'S IMPROVEMENTS

Of all the institutions designed by
heavenly mercy to promote the tenn.
poral and eternal welfare of mankind,
there is no one.of such immense bene-
fits as the Sabbath. Wherever the
Sabbath is not there is no worship. no
religion and man forgets God and God
forsakes man. Where the Sabbath is
not regarded, man degenerates to a
brute, heather, an infideI or an
atheist and hastens with rapid step
to a scene where he will bear all the
character and all features of friend.
Where the Sabbath is loved, venerated
and improved, peace smiles. hone
blooms, pity natures and ripens and
the soul hastens onward to the period
when the Sabbaths of time shall he
exchanged for the long Sabbath of
eternity.
God, at the beginning of time, ap-
pointed Sabbath. This solemn seas
on for rest and worship He ordained.
Should then be the seventh day. God
blessed the seventh day and sancti-
ned 1t; because that in it he had rested
from all of his work which God created
ana made. There IS no reason to be-
OlA@S bAAlo Ody was regarded
sacred by the patriarchs, and If is de-
cIs1vely clear that it was esteemd holv
before the time when the law was
given at Sinai. For some time before
that period, Moses is described as
speaking to the Israelites respecting
1t and speaking of it, not as new
institution, but as one well known to
them He said unto them, "This is
that which the Lord has said. To-
morrow is the rest of the holy Sab
bath unto the Lord. When the Lord
with appalling and terrible majesty
gave the law from Mount Sinia; the
observation of the Sabbath was the
subject of one of the ten precepts that
ne delivered on that tremendous occa-
sion, Remember the Sabbath Day to
Keep 1t Holy" Six days of the week
shalt thou labor and do all thy work,
but the seventh day is the Sabbath of
the Lord thy God; in it thou shalt not
do any work, thou nor thy son, nor
thy daughter, thy man-servant, thy
mald-servant, nor thy cattle, nor the
stranger that is within the gates, for
IN six days the Lord made the heaven,
earth and sea and all that is in them
and rested the seventh day. Where
fore He blessed the Sabbath day and
hallowed it.

10 Housewife Should Be
Confused BY Prices

Too many women think that because
asle iesa sT1.--sz11 al1'efcle is high, tire
quality must be high.
While on the other hand, just as
many women are. under the impression
that low price and big quantity mean
econny.
Both are mistaken. This is particu-
larly true of Baking Powder There is
a limit to the quality of a Baking
Powder. None can be better. than the
best. Theesrice asked is merely an in
dication o1sthe value the manufacturer
places on his product or the amount of
profit he wants to make.
For example: Calumet Baking Pow
der is the highest grade Baking Pow
der made. 1t has been proved best by
test. Still, Calumet is sold at moder-
ate~price lowest possible price.
This combination of price and quail
ity unexcelled represents the very ut
most of economy. To pay more than is
asked for Calumet is to squander mon
ey for something no Baking Powder
Manufacturer can give-that is, equal
or superior quality. To pay less than is
asked for Calumet means buying big
bulk and inferior quality-a most ex-
travagant procedure.

J. r. JARED IN LIVE
STOCK BUSINESS

j. r. Jared of Laguardo was in Car
thage last week. Mr.. Jared removed
from Smith County some eleven years
ago and has many friends and ac-
quaintances here who were glad to
see him. At present Mr.. Jared is
connected with the well and favorably
known live stock commission firm of
Watkins, Carrithers & Co., who have
yards at Nashville, Jan. L, 1920. This
firm, however, still have their large
yards both at Louisville, KY. and at
Montgomery, Ala.
While living in Smith County, Mr.
Jared was one of our largest live
stock dealers and has been in the bust
ness for forty years, and the Wat
kins, Carrithers & Co. are fortunate
in having him connected with this
firm.
Besides Mr.. Jared, Jim Baird, for
merly of New Middleton, is connected
with this firm; and they solicit the
patronage of their friends in this sec
ton and promise close personal atten-
tion to all live stock shipped to their
firm. In this, these two men are in a
position to make it to the advantage
of stock shippers to ship to the Wat
kins, Carrithers & Co. at the Union
Stock Yards at Nashville. Mr.. Jared,
better known as Roe Jared, will be
glad to furnish market quotations at
his own expense to interested friends
at any time. He may be found at 1888,
Union Stock Yards, Nashville, and will
greatly appreciate any consignment
whatever.

which occurred on the public road
above Stonewan about one year ago.
The defendant plead self defense,
claiming that his son-in-law was in
the act of taking his life when he shot
him. Stanley also claims that at the
time the trouble started, which was at
the hours of midnight, that Bridges
was armed with pistol and that when
his so11-in-law attempted to draw it
that he knocked it. from his hands and
that this was the weapon with which
he did the shooting.
Tho case was tried at the last De-
cember term of court and the jury
found the defendant guilty, but a new
trial was granted on the grounds of
some jury irregularities. From the
very beginning the case has been
strongly contested The defendant

APRIL TERM OF
QUARTERLY COURT

The Smith County Court met in
quarterly session last Monday. Elk
cept for the appropriation of some
thing like $4,000 for the purpose Of
constructing and repairing bridges but
little aside from the usual routine was
transacted by the Court.
The report of chairman Hodges,
which showed the various funds of the
County to be in a healthy condition,
was read and adopted. A report was
also made by the members of the
County Highway Commission, show
ing the progress of their work, expen-
ditures, etc A resolution was adopted
empowering the County Highway
Commission to purchase that portion
of the pike between Dixon Springs and
the Trousdale County line.
The tax release committee reported
that they had found something like
100000 worth of property in the Coun-
ty wrongfully or doubly assessed,
mostly the latter. BY the time all the
releases for sach errors have been made
it is estimated that this amount will
reach something like 100000. This
one feature alone should convince the
people of Smith County that our tax
assessment laws need the attention
that Gov. Roberts and his administra-
ton forces are trying to give. That
the people are interested in this sub
ject was shown last Monday when
close attention was given to Judge J.
NJ. Gardenhire, who read a pepper set
ting out the origin and the purpose of
the new tax assessment law.
NJ. ID. Hackett, T. T. Kemp, J. B.
Gwaltney and E. j. A. Maggart, with
j. M Cox, secretary, were elected
members of the board of equalization.
A resolution was adopted to release
all soldiers of 1919 poll tax, who were
in the service on Jan. 10th, 1919. Sol
diers who were so assessed but have
not yet paid can secure their release
by presenting certificate to Trustee
c. H. Matthews showing that they
were in the service at that time. All
who have paid can have the amount of
poll refunded by applying to County
Clerk ]. E. High with the poll tax
receipt and a certificate showing that
they We're in the service on Jan 10th,

The New DispensatiOn

Well, the women have their rights
at last. Now they can vote and hold
offices; but they have had time get
ting the right to vote and pay poll
tax. While our old time back number
women were at home tending to the
babies, canning fruit, keeping the
house nice and cooking for father and
the boys, while they were busy at
work, some Of our modern ladies were
doing all kinds of stunts in order to
gain the right to vote. They wanted
to vote so bad they would dance bare
footed in cold weather on the steps
of the Capitol. Now they are allowed
to vote and hold office, so l don't know
what they will be dancing for next.
Some one says let them quit dancing
and go home. No use of that. They
have no children to care for, they
won't or can't cook or do other house
work, they would not know which cow
gave the sweet milk; so you must not
blame them for wanting to vote, for
they ought to learn to do something.
The men are going to have to step
down and out and let the women run
the government machine.
look for them to strip the gearing
the first thing, but they are going to
have what they want if it makes the
machinery of creation jump cogs.
The kind Of news the Carthage

about like this:
Results of August Election, 1885
The winners in the August election
were: Sal Skinner, County Court clerk,
Mary Gossip, Circuit Court Clerk, Sus-
lie Shoofly, Register, Emily Goldbug,
Sheriff. The usual number of consta-
bles were elected, all women, of course
as the men are Ineligible.
Several misfortunes happened on
election day as usual. Jim Browns
baby was badly burned by falling into
hot water, while Mr.. Brown was wash
ing the dishes. Mrs. Brown, who had
gone to the election, was phoned for
bat never started home until all the
districts were heard from. The baby
died before she got there.
Mrs. Rose Peppermint, constable of
the 18th district, was seriously hurt
while trying to arrest Mrs Peggy
Squash, who was trying to shoot some
other woman in Grant.
Mrs. Ginda Simmons, Justice of the
Peace, from the Is tn district, had a
narrow escape from death when the
II cylinder Pierce Arrow run by Mrs.
Flip Gadabout passed entirely over the
mule Mrs. Simmons was riding to
Difficult. How Mrs. Squire Simmons
escape unhurt is remarkable, but it is
thought that a very large twist of
tobacco is what saved her as she was
engaged in biting off chew just as
the machine ran over the mule.
While the sheriff, Mrs. Ida De Spool,
was locating a wildcat still in the
Carver Hollow, Miss Spicy Hooknose,
aged 46, enticed the sheriff's Is year
old son, Willie, away from home, going
at once to Mitchellville, KY, where

sAVAGET. HACKETT

Savage Hackett was for more than
one-haE of his school days che of my
old school boys and for this reason I
wish to pay a tribute of love and re-
sspect to his memory.
He was an exemplary student, pa
tient, honest, courteous, and, above all,
a truthful boy. Many have spoken to
me since h untimely death about his
being a coed young man but this
could not be otheass5sa oa1s -
the time when the seeds of Character
are sown" and he sCwed the right
kind
He was one of the kindest hearted
boys that l have ever known. His
very last act in life was an attempt
TO do his fellowman a service and he
literally laid down his young life in
the effort
1t is a sad and deep feeling we all
have in the loss of this boy. Strong
and poignant is the grief of all when
for the last time they gaze on the
features of one loved so well, but
Time, the great Consider of grief, will
leave sad, but sweet memory of his
precious life in the minds of all who
knew him. and this memory to me and
YOU will be an incentive to live better.
The world is better for his having
passed through it and what now seem
to us but sad funeral tapers must be
Heaven distant lamp. Consoling is
the thought that, when the stars go
down forever below our horizon here,
they rise to shine eternally on the
other shores.
Savage has gone to the Great Be
yond and with him it is well.
