GREAT ROAD SYSTEM
PLANNED BY GOVERNMENT
The System to ComPrize $4,000 Miles
of Road for the Entire
United States.

A system of highways that Will
serve the whole country and will be
far superior to any other in the world
is being mapped out by Federal and
State engineers. 1t is estimated that
the system will comprise 10000 miles
of road. The Federal highway act re-
Gently enacted specifically requires
that all Federal aid be spent on a
connected system of highways con-
sisting of not more than 7 percent of
the road mileage in each state, ana
that this system shall consist of in
terstate or primary roads and inter-
county or secondary roads.
Proposed systems have been re-
ceived by the Bureau of Public Roads
of the United States Department OF
from all but eight States.
They are plotted on large map OF
the United States and carefully ex-
amined as to coordination with the
roads of adjacent states and service
to all sections of the country. Where
coordination is not satisfactory con-
ferences are held with all interested

The County Board of Education met
in the office of the Superintendent
Ethel Walker, Saturday and voted to
concur in her efforts to raise the stand

All teachers are expected to attend
the County Institute which begins
daily at 8:I5 a. m., June 10, to July e

examinations July 7 and 8.
The regular State adopted element

SPLENDID CITIZEN MOVES.

l.. r. Neel, who has been developing
farm near Maryland for several years.
has accepted the position of superin-
tendent of the State Experiment Sta
ton, Columbia, and has temporarily
moved there.
He advises that he will continue to
develop his farm here-now has two
families on it-and expects to make of
it a fine, large farm where, little
later, he will pass the greater part of
his time, especially his summers as he
regards this most wonderful summer
climate.
In the departure of Mr.. Neel and
wife our county loses two most ex-
cellent citizens. Especially would Mr..
Neel have been of great benefit to
our county by his example in Develop
ing farm and the splendid service
he could and gladly would have been
to our farmers in giving them advise
on practically all farm subjects.

E, Par. a.
At the recent examinations held for
teachers for this year the results were
far from hopeful. Thirteen took the
elementary examination in April and
of this number only two were granted
certificates. Two out of the remain
ing eleven were all who passed in spell
ing, grammar and arithmetic, and
their average grade was below Is,
which excluded them from receiving
certificates. One of the two Wflu were
granted certificates made an average
grade of IS and one IS. Three high
school graduates took the high school
examinations and they were granted
high school certificates. When it IS
seen that so many who do not attend
the high school fail, while those who
did attend high school and took the
examination won certificates, it should
become clear to all who expect to
teach, the great importance of attend
ing the high school.
At the Examination in May, II took
the elementary examination and hive
the high school examination. Not one
made the required grade of IS for even
a second grade certificate. All except
three of the II elementary applicants
failed on spelling, grammar and aritfl- {
metic The only three who made
fair average have had two years work
in high school. This again shows the
great advantage those have who at
tend the high school over those who
DO not attend.
The public should study this record
on certificates and lend all the pos
sible aid to the school authorities to
the end that the standard of school
work may be raised as rapidly as pos
,ibly.

GOT BIGGEST ONE EVER
BURNED HOUSE AND ALL
Officers Destroyed l25 Gallon Still
and 500 Gallons Beer, Three
Miles from Vandever.

Probably the largest wildcat still
ever found in this county was raided
and destroyed Friday, some three
miles south of Vandever and near the
home of c. Davis, by U. S. Revenue
Officers J. H. Hughes and w. H. Reb-
erson, and Deputy Sheriff Ode Camp
bell and Marshal Lyles.
They found a still that was esti-
mated to hold I25 gallons, 500 gallons
beer IS termenterS and other equip
ment. The still was located in a
frame house about 25x4o feet in size
and it is claimed ith as been in oped-
alton for some three years. A large
water tank had been erected and
water was pumped from the creek
near by and then turned loose through
a faucet as needed. The building and
all contents were burned and every
thing connected with the outfit was
as effectively destroyed as possible.
There was plain path leading from
the home of {. Davis to the still and
the officers claim they have all the
evidence they need against Davis. The
officers went to the Davis home but
were refused admission and not al
lowed to search the premises because
they did not have the proper search
Davis has not been arrested
out no doubt is felt that he will be
soon. Mrs. Davis claimed she knew
nothing whatever of the still being
here nor did she have any knowledge
elative to it in anyway, yet the still
vas only about 800 yards from the
Davis home.
The above named officers also ar

lie is suspected of having been en-
'aged in stilling since he came to this
ounty. Officer Hughes had arrested

months ago. 1t seems he is also in
icted for threatening to kill Ode

GERS where his still was located.

ance to all who are really and truly in
terested in our schools and their de-
velopment in the direction of higher
levels and better service. He has ex-
pressed the hope that not a single tenn
porary certificate will be issued in
the state this year. 1t is very prob
able he will stress this point quite
strongly and give some very excel
lent reasons for omitting to issue such
certificates.
The County Board of Education will
meet July 10 to begin selection of
teachers of the schools of the county
for this year.
The office of the County Superin-
tendent will be closed until Saturday
afternoon, as the superintendent will
be attending Professional Confer
ence at the East Tennessee State Nor
NAL School, johnson City.

good time for some wide-awake mer-
chant to advertise by distributing

Two FINE OLD CITIZENS
PASS TO GREAT BEYOND
r. (Riley) Wyatt and Wife Drucil.
la, Died Friday and Monday
of Last Week.

J. r. Wyatt, familiarly known as
Uncle Riley" died at his home near
Vandever, Friday, June I6, at o:3o,
aged 70 years, seven months and twen-
ty-four days. Kidney trouble and ad-
vanced age were the direct causes of
his death. The remains were inferred
at Hales Chapel cemetery Saturday
and the funeral services were con-
Quoted by Rev. J. B. Cobble.
The deceased was held in high es-
teen by his neighbors and many per-
sons over the county. He was born
and reared in this county on the farm
where he died. He had been farmer
and stock dealer all his life. For
many years he had assisted stock
buyers from a distance when they
came to this section to buy cars of
cattle, sheep and hogs. He was so
well and favorably known that his
services always proved of much value
to buyers who chanced to be strangers
to the people of this section.
The deceased was married twice, his
last wife proceeding him to the grave
only two days as she died Monday be-
fore he passed away and she was bur-
ried Wednesday before his remains
were laid to rest. He leaves ten liv-
ing children, six of whom are married,
one girl and three sons being at home
unmarried. He was a member of the
M. f. Church. At his death he own
ed two farms besides the one he lived
upon. The home place contained 50
acres and the other two 100 and 40
acres respectively.
Mrs. Drucilla Wyatt, second wife Of
]. r. Wyatt, died at their home near
Monday evening, June IL,
and the remains were buried at the
Hales Chapel cemetery. The funeral
services were conducted by Rev. ]. B.
Cobble. She was the mother of three
living children by her late husband,
two boys and one girl. She was also
4 member of the M. E. Church. She
was a Christian mother of fine char
acter and was much beloved by all
who knew her.

difficult problems with their neighbor!
AS an example the system sent in by
Nebraska showed big gap i'll an i'm
portant road along the northern boun.
dary. 1t was learned, however, thai
South Dakota would follow with Z
system that would fit like pictures or
toy blocks. Since the Federal High
way act of last November became a
law, only roads certain to be on the
system have been approved for con-
struction.-U. S. Department of Agri-
culture Clip Sheet.
Since the Memphis Bristol high
way is recognized part of the great
trans-continental highway that is to
extend from Washington, D. c. to San
Diego, California, there would seem
to be not the slightest doubt that the
section of Memphis sto- Bristol thru
this county will be included in the ear
ly plans for building.
Should such a thing develop, which
is not likely, that the present agree
ment with the State Highway Com
mission should not be carried out next
year as now expected, there is every
reliability that the Memphis -Bris-
tol will readily be shown to be so i'm
portant a part of the road system OF
this state and the nation that its
completion at an early date through
this county would naturally follow.
Viewing the situation from any
angle one may, the great Importance
of the Memphis is-to- Bristol highway
stands out so distinctly that every
condition favors its completion within
the near future.
At this time it is understood that
no work is to be done on the Memphis
to-Bristol in this county by the State
commission on the basis OF
S., a mile from this county on com
pleted road this year But it is we'll un-
destood that work will commence
next year. So, takeng all things into
consideration there seems to be al
most no conditions that can arise to
delay the early construction of the
M emphis- to- Bristol through this coun
ty.

MOVING PICTURE LECTURE 3
AT MECCA SATURDAY NIGHT

CroSsville Masonic Lodge has ar.
ranged for series of picture slide.
to be shown in the Mecca Saturday
night, June 24th., in celebration OF
the Masonic festival day of St. John
The show will begin at the usual hour
Eight o'clock and the Masonic

| The Masonic slides will show the
pictures of many MasonS who were
prominent in Colonial days and who
| took an important part in the war for
our national independence. A very in
tereSting and instructive reading will
go along with the pictures. A vast
amount of information of most thrill
ing and interesting kind will be given.
Did you kow that Paul\Revere was
Mason?. Did you know that practic-
ally all the members of the Boston
Tea Party were Masons and that the
Masonic lodge was adjourned to en-
able the members to attend the Tea
Party?" The slides and accompany
ing explanations will make it clear
to you that in the minds and hearts
of Masons the liberty of the colonies
was conceived and it was carried to |
success by the aid of many leading
Masons. No Mason can see this series
of pictures and not feel a sense of |
pride in the fact that he is numbered
in that fraternity. Every Mason in
the county should be present, for
nothing like it or in any way approach
ing it has ever been shown here be-
fore. 1t is hoped that all Masons and
Eastern Star members will come and
bring as many friends with them as
possible. The admission charge will

1t will be remembered that about a
year ago twenty persons signed a pa
per for the purchase of 100 acres OF
land at Greens Ford, to be known as
Greens Ford Park. For some days w.
]. Hodges has been surveying the
tract and will have the deed ready
for delivery by August 1. All who
signed the paper are requested to be
ready with their money by that date
as it is the wish of Mr.. Hodges to close
the matter up as soon as possible.
The sight for this proposed park is
most charming one and the project
should be carried forward along lines
that would make it a very pleasant
place for recreation surrounded by
every safeguard that would tend to
decency and good behavior. We have
no doubt that those interested will
most heartily labor to that end.

REED MERCANTILE co.
SELL STORE BUILDING
J. A. kemmer, Grassy Cove, the Pur-
chaser; Reed Company Rent
For Three Years.

On Saturday, Jone 10, the Reec
Mercantile Company decided to J. a
Kemmer. Grassy Cove, their store
property and the lots adjacent there
o.The consideration was $4,000 cash
The Reed Company has rented the
building for three years at $Ioo a
month.
An effort was made to keep the
deal quiet, bu/as usual in such cases
the main details leaked out and the
deal was being discussed by several
persons the first of the week. So far
as Mr.. Kemmer goes it simply means
to him safe investment in one of the
best pieces of property in Crossville
or in the county.
When the Chronicle editor saw M.
F. Reed relative to the deal he did
not give the consideration, but direct
ed us to Mr.. Kemmer for that infor-
nation Mr. Kemmer not being ac-
cessable, our only recourse was to
take the rumored price as the proper
one. Mr.. Reed had no hesitancy in
giving his reasons for the SALE He |
stated that the money tied up in real
estate could be used to better ad-
vantage in their business in discount
ing bills and taking Advantage of pur-
chases. He stated that the sale ment
no change in the business Of the COM
pany. 1t simply ment that they could
get better results by using the money
in their business than by having it
tied up in real estate.
The sale of the building did not in
clude the electric light plant. 1t will
be remebered that a few weeks ago
]. J. Wilkes made deal for the elec-
trio light plant and while it has been
rumored that he would turn the plant
back to the Reed Company, he has not
done SO yet. At one time Mr.. Wilkes
had plans for enlarging his power sup
ply and through the increased power
to furnish several lights for Main
street that were to be paid for by
the city. Up to the present time the
increased power has no been supplied
nor the lights for the city. There are {
some persons in town who are not
now using electric lights but would do I
