Boone Trail<\/b>
\nPerhaps the most striking projects yet undertaken by Southern women originated with the D A R of North Carolina. It is the marking of the famous Boone Trail from the intrepid explorer’s home on the Yadkin River to the site of the Indian fort at Boonesboro, Ky., where the old road ended. The D A R of the states of North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky, through which the trail passed, undertook the work of marking its course through their respected territories.
\nOn the morning of June 30, at Cumberland Gap, Tennessee, there was held a great celebration by the Daughters of the four states, the purpose of the occasion being the unveiling of a handsome monument to Daniel Boone. The event was one of the most unique that has taken place in the South for many years. Thousands of visitors from many states attended the ceremonies in which speakers of national prominence participated. Music and various striking features were arranged to make the occasion one long to be remembered by patriotic Southerns.- Anna Bland in Southern Woman’s Magazine.<\/p>\n

\nM., F. Heron of Nashville was in town last week.<\/p>\n

The man who refuses to vote for good roads because he does not believe in voting a tax on his children does not stop to consider that more than half of the posterity of the present generation will move to communities that have good roads and help to pay the tax that was levied to build them; and do it cheerfully, too, if something is not done to better conditions that now exist. The County will never have good roads without a bond issue, the carrying of which will never be a burden to the present or future generations, but would prove the greatest boon to the County that its citizens have ever experienced.<\/p>\n

The apparently bountiful corn crop that is in the making in Overton county would be worth at least one fourth more to the farmers who make it, if they had good roads on which to haul it to the market when it demands the best price. Then they could afford to hold for the price, now they have to take the prices prevalent when the roads are fit to haul over.<\/p>\n

Good roads bring the farmers nearer to town, and the town people nearer the farms, and create a fellow felling among the people that nothing but closer association can possibly bring about. We could do with fewer school buildings in the county and at the same time have a larger percentage of school attendance, if we had pike roads.<\/p>\n

The Bible or Equal Suffrage
\nWhich Will You Take<\/b>
\nDo we believe in the teaching of the Bible, if so can we advocate Woman Suffrage and equal participation in public speaking and politics; equal with men at the ballot box, in office, engaged in scheming, hoodwinking the people, using all sorts of demagoguery in order to rule, if not rule, ruin, as the first woman did in the Garden of Eden. See the first attempt to run things. She brought mankind to everlasting ruin and sin. The Lord said unto the woman in the Garden of Eden, “Thy husband shall over thee and he said unto Adam, “Because thou has harkened unto the voice of thy wife, cursed is the ground for thy sake”. So it will be when the time comes, if it ever does, when woman is made by the change in our constitution, equal with man at the ballot box. Then will be the darkest hour for the South she has ever seen, throwing the balance of power in the hands of the Negro race, and the South’s enemys. Will we uphold the law as given by the Creator. “Thy husband shall rule over thee”. Again see First Peter chapter three; “Ye wives be in subjection to your own husbands, 1st Corinthains, Chapter X1, verse 3, “And the head of the woman is the man, “For a man indeed ought not to cover his head for inasmuch as he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of man, verse 8, “For the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man” verse 9, “For nether was the man created for the woman, but the woman for the man.”
\nThis Equal Suffrage movement is contrary to the teachings of the Bible, and of the servants of the Bible and all of the wise men from the creation down to the present day. During all ages the churches and most of the Christians have been submissive to the Lord’s decree, and now if Woman Suffrage be right, what a mistake the religious world and the founders and builders of this republic have made, when they left Woman Suffrage out of the constitution. Now if the people should ratify the amendment to the constitution, and women be allowed political freedom, would the system of the states and the federal government be changed? The only change would be from a republican or democratic government to an anarchy and a hobble skirt government, and the Negro would hold the balance of power. Then a race war which would run rivers of blood from Mason’s line to the Gulf of Mexico. Stand by the old constitution it will do for all classes.

President Wilson’s
\nProposes Peace Policy For The
\nEuropean Nations<\/b>
\nPresident Wilson, actuated solely by a desire to promote an early peace between the nations now engaged in war in Europe, submits the following representations to the representatives of the several nations of Europe and America not engaged in the war, to be submitted to their respective governments and to become the joint action of all governments agreeing thereto, when a majority have agreed:
\n1. That the nations now engaged in war in Europe cease hostilities for a period of 100 days.
\n2. That the status of the armies remain intact under the rules guaranteeing that neither of the warring nations shall seek or take advantage of any other during the armistice.
\n3. That the soldiers of all the armies be furloughed home indefinitely and until resummoned to the colors, and no nation shall strike another until the agreed time fixed in the armistice shall have come; provided that sufficient numbers of soldiers may remain under arms to police and protect their respective camps under such regulations as may be agreed.
\n4. That the foregoing proposals when modified or amplified and finally formulated by the agreement of a majority of the governments to which they are submitted shall become a binding agreement between such governments, and the proposals so finally formulated by submitted and proposed to the governments at war as the preliminary basis for neuatiatious for peace.
\n5. That the nations at war be invited to consider the proposals and to respond thereto in definite statements expressing their respective views upon the various items of the proposals and to submit counter proposals modifying, changing, amplifying or extending, as each may desire; and when the issue is finally thus made up in preliminary form then.
\n6. That the representatives of all the nations be called into council by the President of the United States, at Washington, who will proceed to adjust and reconcile all matters in dispute, as nearly as possible in conformity with the wishes of the warring nations, and envolve a plan for peace, provided that representatives of the warring nations may be present and heard to participate in the deliberations of the council and to consult their respective governments during the sicting, upon any difference or difficulty that may arise, and no action shall be taken until all are heard.
\n7. That when all are herd fully if mutual agreement has not been reached, the council shall go into executive session and itself determine and propose a just and final solution of all questions involved and fix the terms for peace.
\n8. If the warring nations shall disagree and determine to resume hostilities, then the council shall take such united action as it may determine looking to enforced peace upon the basis fixed.<\/p>\n

While the general direction of each of the roads to be built by the Good Roads Commissioners is fixed by the Act calling the election, still the exact location is yet to be determined, and a few men who ought to favor the building of these roads are opposing them – some secretly and some openly – thus making it clear to the Commissioners that these men do not want the pikes to cross their farms or come near them. After the bonds are voted these men will be in a very poor attitude to ask favors of the Commissioners and especially to ask for pikes to come through their land or near to their farms. On the other hand, those men and those neighborhoods who favor the pikes and want them will be in a much better attitude to ask the Commissioners to locate the roads where they want them. The strongest argument any man or neighborhood can make to the Commissioners against the roads coming over their lands or through their communities, is to open up a fight against the bond issue. We are not authorized to speak for the Commissioners, but we know they are men who would be inclined not to force pikes on men who do not want them, provided they could give them to men who do want them, while at the same time serving the public at large as well as to put pikes where they are not wanted.<\/p>\n

C. J. Cullom, A. L. Maxwell and W. S. Swallows are the three election commissioners recently named by the Board. These three gentlemen are well and favorable known throughout the county, and will see that the elections are held according to law.<\/p>\n

LIVINGSTON ENTERPRISE<\/em>
\nJuly 28, 1915<\/h2>\n

GRAND RALLY.
\nGOOD ROADS MEETING.<\/b>
\nThe U. S. government, through its special agent, Hon. L. E. Boykin, Engineer in office of the Public roads, Washington, D. C. The State government through Hon. Chas. E. Ferris Dean of Engineering Dept., University of Tennessee, and other prominent speakers, will address the people of Overton county, at LIVINGSTON, MONDAY AUG. 2, 1915.
\nOn the subject of good roads, improvement of schools, social conditions, and the economic benefits to be derived from Internal Improvement.
\nEVERYBODY INVITED.
\nCome, bring your wives and children.<\/p>\n

One of out Correspondents tells
\nWhy He is for Good Roads.
\nWHY I AM FOR GOOD ROADS.
\nBecause I am a Farmer. Because I do not want to see Overton county left in a mud hole. Because we cannot travel our roads during the winter and spring, only drag through them. Because we need a way opened up to the North, that is to Clay and Picket counties, and the blue grass regions of Kentucky. Because Good Roads will open up trade relations with the upper Cumberland region as well as to the South and East Giving to the farmers a way to get their produce to a market in either direction; also give us a way to get to Crawford to the East. Because Good Roads will cause farmers to improve their methods of farming; to keep up with the eneral improvements of the country, and show to the world that we want to better our conditions, and ask them to co-operate with us in the work by giving them a way to mingle with us and see what we need and want, and show to them that we are not afraid to improve our conditions by using our capital in improving our homes, school houses, and roads. That we are willing to aid in the betterment of mankind; that we re not living for self alone.
\nWe have a chance to better one of these conditions, so let us use it by voting for Good Roads. Bond issue is the way such improvements are usually made by our government, railroads, manufacturing, bridges are built, and canals are dug, all for the betterment of conditions that exist. So if we can better our conditions by building Roads now is the time to consider same, by voting in accord with them.
\nVulcan.<\/p>\n
