new CONTRACT LET
IN ROAD BUILDING
Road From Mckenzie to Dres-
den to Be Hard Surfaced at
Once-Other Contracts

The state road commission was
in session in Nashville two or three
DAYS the latter part of last week.
The commission reported large
number of road projects from va
rious sections of the state that are
being worked out. Several new
contracts were let and much i'm
portant business was transacted.
We understand that a contract
for hard surtacing the road from
Mckenzie to Dresden was let.
We are told that a Dresden firm
was the successful bidder. This
section of road has already been
graded and is ready for the hard
surface.
We are informed that it was
giyen out that contract would be
let for constructing the road from
Huntington to Mckenzie just as
soon as the survey is completed.
It is possible that work will begin
on this link some time this fall.
It has been currently reported

SHIFTING OFFICERS
CLERK And MASTER
J. Sam Johnson Resigns and y
Wasley Williams Indicted
Into the Office

There was a shift in the Office
of clerk and master of the Carroll
county chancery court last Mon
day. j. Sam johnson resigned
and j. Wesley Williams was ape
pointed to take his place.
Chancellor w. H. Dennison, of
Lexington, was here Monday and
received Mr.. JOhnson's resignation
and appointed Mr.. Williams. The
new clerk and master was imme-
mediately indicted into office. Mr..
Williams served as clerk and mas
ter for some time once and the
business is not new to him.
1t is generally believed that Mr..
johnson will be made clerk of the
federal court. the position now
held BY Grant Mathews, of Mem
phis, and that this appointment
will likely be made before great
while.
Another shift made in local af-
fairs, made public few days ago.
is the appointment of r. A.
Greene, United States Commits
sioner, the job now held by A. NJ.
Lee. Mr. Greene is editor of the
Tennessee Republican, and this of
fee is given him, we presume,
in recognition of his valuable SER
vice to the party. We are not adj
vised as to when be will take charge
of the office. He was appointed
by Judge j. w. Ross.

Three BILLION SLUMP
IN FOREIGN TRADE
Official Report Gives Admin
istration and Country Food
For Thought

With the administration at
Washington urging passage OF a
tariff bill which will greatly re-
strict imports, and which threat
ems to bring drastic retaliatory
measures from other countries
against American exports, and
with continued refusal to cooper
ate with other nations in stablllz'
ing trade. the Department of Com
merce announced Monday that
foreign trade of the United States
decreased more than $3,000.0OO,-
900 during the fiscal year ending
June 30.
Republicans, in astonishment,
were wondering if the foreign
trade depression isn't, after all,
the largest contributing force to
the internal industrial depression
in this country at the present time.
The slump was about evenly di'
vided between exports and i'm
ports.
Exports for the fiscal year az
sregate $685. 100000, as com
pared with So. 1913. 900, 900 the veal
before, while imports amounted t.
$3,666, 100000, as against S5,2S8,
100000 the previous year. Tit
trade balance in favor of the United
States for the year was S2,852,
100000.
Exports in June totaled S940,
100000, as against 1929, 900, 900 il
May and $629.0OO,0OO in June
1920, while imports were S2O4,

compared with $552,0O0,0 900 IL

BROWN SPLITTER BLOOMS AGAIN ~
Sothoron Regains His Old Con-
fdence Which Made Him Star

ST. LOUIS-Allan Sothoron
Brown pitcher, is blooming again.
He's got his spitball and his old
confidence back.
Giving spitballers a continued
lease on life meant more to Sotho-
ron possibly than to any other OF
the 16 major league pitchers now
qualified to use the moist delivery.
Without the spitball Sothoron was
a failure.
lie was started against the Cleve-
land Indians in the opener last year
without his splitter. They peppered
him Off the hill.
Later in the season he was rein
stated as eligible TO throw the wet
ball. but ne made a poor comeback.
That one game turned him from
a winning pitcher into a loser.
His pitching average for 1920 was
.324 as against .625 for the year be-
fore when he used his pet delivery
all season.
when Cleveland beat me in that

out a spitball." says Sothoron.
Il had depended upon it too much.
"The spitball isn't the only ball 1
throw. but it fits into my system.
After that disastrous game with
the Indians l couldn't regain my old
confidence even after they gave me
my splitter back.
coincidence is a thing that any
winning pitcher must have.
"A pitcher might have a fade
away as good as Mathewson's, the
speed of Walter Johnson. and the
control of Babe Adams. but unless
he thinks he can master the batters
who face him he is helpless.
I'm going to be all right again
this year"
The fact that Sothoron held the
Cardinals to four hits and beat them
in an exhibition game here indicates
he is his old self again.
With the apparent comeback Of
