HAVE BOUGHT HOTEL AT
RED BOILING SPRINGS
John Ettien and Sampson DeRossett
Have Made $4,000 Purchase
at Mineral Springs.

: John Ettien and Sampson DeRos-
sett have purchased one of the hotels
at Red Boiling Springs, Macon County
and will improve and enlarge same
for the coming season. Their plans
also involve arranging suitable quar-
terS for caring for winter guests at
that famous mineral springs summer
resort
They have purchased one of the
hotel properties there, which embraces
a 81 a. ,lact on which there are
four wells. Two of the wells produce
mat is known as the red water and
two the black water. Mr.. Ettien
left Sunday afternoon TO take
caarIc Ct the extensive improvements
they are arranging to start at once.
The original purchase price of the
property, we are informed was $I2,-
600 and they plan to spend $4,000 10
$1,000 in making improvements. Their
plans embrace the moving of the
present hotel to a point nearer the
center of their three and half acre
tract and the erection of substantial
buildings sufficient to accumulate at
least fifty guests. Their plans also
embrace an active advertising CAM
paign for winter guests. The medic
inal properties of the water are so
we'll known that many persons have
desired to go there for recuperatior
during the winter. but there have
been no accomidations suitable for
caring for guests at any time other
than in warm weather. Messrs Ettien
and DeRossett expect to make their
hostelry so comfortable and attrac-
tive a to induce many to pass part of
the winter there.
Mr. DeRossett has the Commercial
Hotel leased here until next April and
for that reason he and family will not
likely move to Red Boiling Springs
before that date In the mean time,
however, Mr.. Ettien will be on the
ground pushing the improvements and
looking after the business in gen.
era1 way until Mr.. DeRossett arrives.

CHRISTMAS Rush Soon ON;
MAIL PACKAGES EARLY
Put on Your Package, Don't Open
Until Christmas" Then you
Can Mail Early. :.

Christmas will be with us within
a few weeks, within the next few
weeks there will be millions of pack
ages go through the mails. If you
want your packages to reach their
destinations promptly there are few
things you should not fail to do.
Address plainly,
Put on Street and Number,
Wrap and tie securely,
And mail early.
If those four things are done you
may be sure the package you intend
for your friends will reach them in
time to come as a real Santa Claus
bundle. The same conditions apply
mainly to letters, especially address
ing plainly and the street and number.
It will help greatly, if you will no,
use odd shaped envelopes either the
very large ones or the very small
ones. The large ones donot tie up
good with the regular bundles OF
letters and the small ones are so apt
to get lost.
Mailing your Chris mas packages
two and three weeks before Christmas
Is the DtSI way lOL Il'tlt lllC MANS
are not so loaded with packages as
they are just before Christmas. 1t
makes it much easier for the postal
people also, and that should appeal
to us all. Put on each package, Don't
open until Chris tmas"
Postmaster General Will H. Hayes
says there are forty million letters
mailed each day and that when en-
velopes of unusual size, either large or
small, they are always delayed to
some extent and at the same time
delay other mail.
Every one will understand the nee
essity of mailing packages early so
that the mails may not be SO badly
crowded that all packages cannot be
delivered by Christmas Eve. All
should try to help and thus insure
better service.

COMPLETELY IN The JOHN
WEBB MURDER CHARGED
Unable to Secure Sufficient Evidence
to Bind Wife or Boys to
Circuit Court.

Last week Sheriff Geo. w. Walker
arrested Mrs. John Webb and her
two sons, Lewis Webb, aged IS years,
and Waymond Webb, aged IL years,
for completely in the death of her
husband, John Webb, who was killed
by George Phillips, Saturday, Novem-
Der 10, at his home few miles from.
Isoline.
Sheriff Walker brought them to
town and the two boys had hearing
before Juvenile Judge S. N. Smith,
and Mrs Webb a preliminary hearing
before Esq o. B. Rector, but nothing
of an incriminating nature could be
learned from them. AS stated in the
Chronicle last week, it was reported
that Mrs. John Webb had threaten
ed him that she would have him kill
ed, but nothing could be learned that
would sufficiently substantiate the
the rumor to bind her to court, nor
could any evidence be secured against
the boys, and all were released.

SOMETHING ABOUT The
CUNNING TARIFF BILL
To Get Needed Revenue Under Pres
ent Tariff, This Country Must :,
Buy ii Billions.

The Fordney tariff bill now pending
is estimated to yield between six and
sevend hundred millions of revenue
That remark is by way of introduc-
ton to a discussion of an attack on
the Fordney bin by the Fair Trade
League wherein it is asserted that
The present low tariff rates yielded
in 1920 within one and one-half per-
cent of as much revenue as was evei
realized under the higher rates OF
previous tariffs.
How careful the league is to omit
the fact in order to accomplish this
it required over five billion dollars
in imports, while less that$2,o wv
600 in imports during the last year of
the Republican tariff law yielded $3IS-
100000 in revenues.
The average ad valroem rate of the
Underwood law, still in force is about
g percent, so that in order for that
bill to yield the revenue estimated
for the Fordney measure, we would
have to import from ten to eleven
billions of dollars worth of imports.
That wuld have fine effect on
American production, Would it not?
1t would so paralyze American indus
try that there wouldn't be the widows
mite of income or corporation taxes
Forthcoming outside of the swollen
profits of the importers of foreign
goods. That is just the sort of thing
the Fair Trade League bankers for.
Its idea of fairness is that the import
er should be given the American
market and the American manufac-
turer and farmer may whistle for
theirs.
The protectionest may be biased
in his views. He is personally inter-
ested The Free trader is certainly
biased in his views. He has for
eign goods to dispose Of But since
there has to be bias one way or an
other, isn't it a little bit safer to
give the protectionists the benefit of
the doubt since he is the American
or the American ta,-
mer who is fighting for their pre-
ponderant share of his own home
market? If one were to call the roll
Of the Fair Trade League and study
INC ihClHDSlonip llC Woulu pI ODdDly
find it made up of internationaliSts
who advocate surrender of national
ty to the league of nations, the gift
of the Panama Canal to
every other country, America alone
to pay tolls, and American disarma-
ment regardless of the action of the
other powers. Having put through
hat program they would make their
money here and go to Europe to live.
1t is common for those who oppose
a protective tariff to claim that "the
finally pays the tariff" III
hat be true why do those who i'm
port for sale in this market oppose
1 protective tariff so strongly? They
;annot make the dear people think
hey are willing to sacrifice anything
or the people.

BUDGET METHODS THAT
WILL SURE GET RESULTS
Preside At Harding Gives Director
Dawes Very Wide and Ex-
plicit Powers.

Once more President Harding ha:
shown his determination to get result:
by going after them in a direct anc
.forceful way. When he wanted re.
duction OF armaments, he laid dowr
definite plan that specified Just
what ships would be scrapped and
what retained. That was concrete
and definite step towards results
Now he has made a similar move
IN domestic affairs. He has issued
an executive order giving due notice
to all officialdom that Director of the
Budget, Dawes, in gathering infor-
ton acts, for the presiden., "and his
calls upon the chiefs of bureaus and
other administrative officers for the
purpose of consulta ton or informa tion
take precedence over the cabinet head
OF a department, or any head of an
independent organization"
This is the method, and the only
method that will get results. In his
effort to reduce Federal expenditures
President Harding has the full ap-
proval and cooperation of the mem
bers OF his cabinet, who ar eheads of
departments. But he has not the full
CO. operation of heads of bureaus.
many OF whom are hold 1t
is not likely that any head of bu-
reau would directly and openly defy
the Director of the Budget, but many
OF them, jealous of their petty power,
would evade or delay giving infor-
nation that would be helpful in the
effort to cut expenses. Accustomed
to the red-tape methods, they can
tind innumerable excuses for not
yielding full and hearty co-opera ton
with the director of the Budget.
The order of the President, making
the official status of the Director
entirely clear, ought to help not only
III speeding up the retrenchment
movement but in making the results
greater when accomplished.
The Presidents course is wise from.
another viewpoint The particular
task of Mr.. Dawes is to find ways of
discontinuing useless work, eliminat
ing duplication of work and cutting
out work which, though useful, is not
essential. If he is to find ways of
accomplishing these things, he must
have the power to ask for and secure
full and prompt information Unless
he has that power, hecannot reason
ably be held accountable for results.
Having given Mr.. Dawes full power
in getting information, President
Harding places upon the Director of
the Budget full responsibility TO rde-
vising plans for retrenchment.
That is the way things are done in
successful private business and it is
well to have the same plan pursued
in government business. The Harding
idea is more business in government
and less government in business.
The country holds the President
responsible for results in administra-
tion of the executive departments,
for the is the ultimate authority. The
President has made Mr.. Dawes head
of the Budget Bureau, has given him
plenary power, and can hold him re-
sponsible accordingly. If the budget
plan does not work, it will not be
the fault of the President.

PLEASED WITH OUTLOOK
IN THIS CHRISTIAN FIELD
Five Fields of Labor Now Being Push
ed by Presbyterian Board in
This County.

Saturday Miss Martha E. Robson
who has been making religious sur
vey of this and adjoining counties
for the past three months, in the in
terest of the Presbyterian Board OF
Home Missions and Country Life, was
in Crossvile on her way to Chatta-
nooga. From there she will go to
some points in Georgia and a little
later return north.
When Miss Robson was in Cross
vile some weeks ago the editor of the
Chronicle had the pleasure of meeting
her and had the assurance from her
that after making the survey of this
field she would give the Chronicle a
brief report of how the work impress
ed her, how it is progressing and how
she viewed the future along the lines
of church and country life better
ment When in town Saturday MISS
Robson gave us the following brief
statement:
AS the three months tour | have
been making through the counties
comprising the Cumberland, Noun
tain Presbytery draws to close, I
am mindful of my promise to tell you
something of my impressions of the
work in those fields which are in
Cumberland county
1t was not until the close of the
tour that it was possible to see the
last of the work and workers in this
county. At every one of the FIVE
points at which we have work being
done-Linary, Biglick, Jewett, Grassy
Cove and Ozone-conditions are very
promising. Both leaders and people
have an idea of church or Sunday
school that serves the community in
which it is located; of church, which
as an organization that lives the relig-
ion it teaches and processes; churhc
or Sunday school whose community
is better because the organization ex-
lists. As | have visited each one of
the above named communities, the
has deepeEed that these
are better communities because the
church or Sunday school are there.
My feeling is that not only the
Department of Church and Country
Life of the Home Mission Board of
the Presbyterian Church in the U. S.
A., as repre- senta tive of which
have been in the Presbytery (though
I am a member of Baptist church
as you stated recently in your paper)
but the communities in which they
work, and Cumberland county as we'll,
have reasons to be proud of the work
being done by Miss Josephine Rupp,
Mrs. Carrie Murphy, Mr.. Robertson
and Rev. P. E. Radford
On the other hand, we are all deeply
gratihed at the fine response the
people of the communities and the
county have given to the work these
persons are doing. Did they not have
the cooperation Of their people, and
hearty support, they could accomplish
nothing.
To me Cumberland county appears
to have a great future Our earnest
desire is that the work on our hve
fields shall contribute the very best
things to that future-a RELIGION ex-
pressed in deed as well as in word,
1ailv; good schools wholesome COM
munity life; and above all Christian
and womanhood
Yours sincerely.

Corn finished unchanged to &c high

from 1Oc to 12i.c to 60c.
1t was after midday before bulls got
the lead in wheat. Depression at the
start was associated more or less with
bearish views of the economic outlook
especially as affected by news regard
ing the British coal strike. Word how
ever that the mine workers and en-
ploycrs had agreed TO a further con-
to encourage buying and so did talk
of continued export business in new
wheat as well as old. Then came word
OF a heavy slect and snow storm
sweeping eastward over Nebraska with
temperatures down to 20 and still fall

From then on higher prices were the
rule.
Corn and oats wcrc governed mainly
by wheat.
