The Road Survey.

The Commercial: In last week s
paper it is stated in an editorial that
the State Highway Commission
would soon begin the construction of
the State Highway between Union
City and Troy. 1t was also stated
that the highway between these
points had been surveyed out on an
air line between these two towns,
and that it was the purpose of the
State Commission to construct said
! highway on the air line thus sur
veyed. If this is true, the Commits
sion will violate the plain provisions
of the law under which it is acting
and under which it is created. That
act makes it the duty of the Com
mission to make and keep in it's de-
partmental offices at Nashville Blue
prints and maps showing general
highway plan of the State, such plan
to consist of the Main travelled
roads as will, when improved, show
and provide connected system OF
improved highways turnout the
State" Again, that act provides
'That the State Highway Cimmis
sion is given the power to proceed to
designate main travelled roads with
view of connecting all county seats
and also to designate other main
travelled roads which are deemed OF
sufficient Importance to be included
in, the general highway plan of the
State.' These quotations from the
law, under which the Highway Com
mission is acting, show clearly that
the Highway Commission has no
power to survey out or designate any
road for construction as part OF the
State highway, except Main trav-
eled roads,, and if it has surveyed
or designated an air line highway
between Union City and Troy, and
ignored, and shall attempt to ignore
the old, good, substantial Main

been in use "for a time whereof the
memory of man runneth not to the
contrary" it will plainly violate the
express provisions of the law under
which it is acting.
The Legislature meant and in
tended this highway to be built
along, over and on the old Main
travelled roads, and not that they
should be ignored and new roads
built on air lines thru fields, farms,
between farm residences and out
houses, to the great inconvenience
and injury of the farmer owning
such lands. The Legislature would
not have passed the act If it had sus-
pected it would be so construed. 1t
intended to leave the farmers and
land owners few rights If it did
authorize these lands to be taxed to
an extent which almost amounts to
confiscation.
The radical damage suggested in
the projected road from Union City
to Troy is wholly beyond the power
of the State Highway Commission, as
it will find when it attempts to make
the change. Much more could be
written on this subject, but for the
present this i3 sufficient.

Resolutions of Respect.

Death lies on her like an untimely
frost
Upon the sweetest flower of all the
field"
Whereas the great Master Must
clan has sounded the minor chords
of death and saddened the hearts of
the Matinee Music Club membership
by removing from our harmonious
midst our fellow musician and CO.
worker, Miss Pauline Barney, there
fore be it resolved:
First, That in the passing away of
our friend the Music Club has lost
one of its most faithful members
whose life like rare strains of music
brought sweet harmony and exqui-
site Joy to all with whom she came
in contact, and that her beautiful
character, gentle influence and con-
genial association will be missed.
Second, That our expression of ap-
probation and gratitude for her COM
panionship and our loving sympathy
be extended to her sorrowing father,
mother and brother
Third, That copies of these resolu-
lions be sent the members of the be-
rcaved family, that copy be in
scribed on our records, and also that
copies b sent to our city newspapers
for publication.
Be it further resolved, That the
memory of Pauline Barney is cher
ished and the Matinee Music Club
is richer for her life.

A DELIGHTFUL BARBECUE.

of his friends a most delightful bar
becue dinner at his farm in Black
Creek township today.
The meat was done to turn, we'll
seasoned, and with relishes, and
plenty of lemonade, was thoroughly
enjoyed. This was topped off with
luscious melons.
DR.. Herring proposes to have his
friends every year. He has cleared
out a most inviting place on the
back of his farm under the spreading
water oaks, near a nice spring, an
ideal place for a picnic, and hopes to
make it a permanent annual affair.
Mr.. Gus Lamm is his foreman

MUST CONSERVE WATER SUPPLY.

have hesitated to bring this to
the attention of the public for fear OF
causing unnecessary alarm, but in my
honest opinion, unless rain comes
within the next few days we are
destined to face the worst of all sit
uations-a water famine.
The supply today is ample for all
needs, including any emergency that
may arise, even to the extent of cop
ing with a serious fire, but 1 now
find it absolutely imperative to call
upon all users of water to use just
as little as necessary in this emer-
gency in order to conserve the pres
ent supply and insure supply in the
event that we do not have rain with
in a short time.
As stated there is no occasion for
alarm, but this is brought to the at
tention of the public as precau-
tionary measure and 1 earnestly beg
| that every user of water use only
| Just what they find necessary
| Sprinkling of streets must be discon-
! tinued and the street department can
not respond to any requests for this
service until this emergency has
passed.

KLINE WAS GIVEN A FINE


A dispatch from Wilson in Nor
folk paper this morning gave an ac-
count of the fine. imposed on Kline,
which was another cause for dissat-
isfaetion at the ball park yesterday:
From the standpoint of Wilson
fans, it was apparent that Umpires
Westervelt and Blackburn started
out with the intention of giving Will
son raw deals in the game with Nor
folk this afternoon. The first unfair
decision was called on ball hit in
the infield and was allowed to roll in
plain view OF the grandstand and
bleachers. The sphere was stopped
by the third sack, yet Umpire Black
burn called Foul" Manager Tom
Clark protested and Umpire Black
burn banished him from the game
and would not suffer him to remain
in the park until he donned civilian
clothes His highness then imposed
fine of $40 on Kline, a Wilson
player, and when the tWorm Turn
ed'' and said he had not opened his
mouth the fine was raised to $25.
Other raw deals were handed Will
son, and the fans knowing that the
umpires reigned supreme, bided
their time, and when the game was
| over they went over the top and
played battle lore and shuttlecock
with both arbiters of the game.
