A REPLY
Ex-County superintendent f. B.
HemphiII, of Knox County, Replies
To The Auditors Report of
July %, 1922.

l became County Superintendent
of Knox County schools January 1st
1918, resigned to take effect May
1st, 1922, serving four years and
four months.
! My first settlement was made for
one and one half years, including
six months of w. w. Evans last
year, from July 1917 to January
1918; the other settlements were
made annually until the year of
1922 which required monthly state
ments and settlements under the
new law with both the County Board
Of Education and the Department
of Education at Frankfort.
During my term of office six DIFF
ferent Auditors have gone over the
books and records, the notes, checks
and vouchers have been carried
from Office to Office and from Clerks
Office to the hotel; consequently l
am sure some of them have been
misplaced and for this reason Mr.
Threlkeld did not find what he
should have had to make a complete
report.
I am sure l can and will make

spect for Mr.. Threikeld as a gentle
man and accountant. l desire to ex-
plain few statements made in Mr..
/ Threlkeld's report in justice to my
self and friends, yet l don't desire
to be antagonistic.
Under my administration the
Knox County Board of Education
built quite a number of school
houses, some very expensive mod
ern bricks. All l-of these were let by
contract to the lowest bidder after
having been properly advertised
and we're erected according to plans
and specifications given by the state
department at Frankfort. am sure
Mountain advocate., 1922-08-04

Mr.. Threlkeld did not find these
contracts and specifications while
making his report.
We also organized AMI held 4

given as a prize In the school fair
and were won by Barbourville

The check for $1,5OO.OO given me
by Mr.. b. P. Walker, Sheriff, was

the funds for the same amount were

BRUSH CREEK BOOMING
JITNEY SERVICE A SUCCESS

When J. G. Marsee and his busi-
ness friends decided to run jitney
from Artemus on the Cumberland
Railroad to Anchor, they did it first
as a business enterprise but includ-
ed in the idea was the thought of
service to the people who live up
the Brush Creek Valley-one of the
finest spots of Knox County which
should be seen by every one who is
a lover of beauty. Fortunately, the
jitney service is such that this may
be done easily. AS a picnic trip 1t
cannot be surpassed.
However, 1t is more than a pleas
ure ground. 1t is a country of beau
tiful valleys and massive, timber
covered mountains along the lower
slopes of which wander many cattle
and hogs in considerable numbers
pasture the woodlands near the
tracks. Around and beyond Arte-
mus lie some of the most fertile
looking valleys the splendid crops
giving ocular evidence of the rich
ness of the soil.
The owners of this land have for
tunes before them In the smaller
fruits, suoh as strawberries, rasp-
berries and grapes while the hill
sides are admirably adapted to the
larger fruits. With frost protection
--an easy matter with such guam
tity of timber available-choice ell
bertas and apples could easily be
raised. This program would embrace
spraying, which will kill the fiction
that the peach is a short lived tree.
At present we are careless of their
health conditions. Cowpeas should
be added to the crops and would
greatly increase the nitrogen con-
tent of the soil.
Such valleys extend toward An
chor, the end of the line.
While coal mining is of economic
value to the county agriculture is
its backbone, as would be found If
crops should fail or be greatly cur
tailed over a series of years. Too
much attention cannot be given to
the best paying crops. Strawberries
make as high as $500 net per acre
In other sections no better adapted
than our own but we have not yet
started and organized to cash in on
the fact. II a few of the farmers
along this section would band to-
gether to grow strawberries and
raspberries tn e financial result
would take their breath away.

most up-to-date company commits
sary. Enquiries elicted the fact
that prices are very reasonable and
no attempt is made to gouge the
miners. This appears to be true Of
all the commissaries along the line.
All the managers are most courte-

welcome.

Among the progressive citizens Of
Anchor are Jim Lee, Josh Hamilton
John Woolum, John Engle. George
Powers and Jim Runyons.
Three trips a day are made by the

capable of carrying a big load of
passengers. In the early morning
it makes a trip for the benefit of
Mountain advocate., 1922-08-04

miners living in Artemus; the sec
ond trip is after the arrival Of the
short dog and the third In time for
the miners to get home for supper.
One of the best features Of the jit-
ney service is the courtesy Of the
management and driver in stopping
wherever passengers wish to get on
OF of, one which makes the service
equal to that of the city electric
tram in convenience to its patrons.
In fact, Mr.. Marsee's whole attitude
is to serve the public which has the
whole hearted sympathy of ]. r.
Campbell. of the Cumberland Rail-
road.
The little town of Artemus Is a
good business spot and its people
are very comfortably fixed. It has
a surprising number OF business
houses, indicating that there is
plenty of money in circulation
there. If it ever takes up the small
