When the cornerstone of the Rob
ertson county court house at Spring-
field, Tenn., was opened a few days
ago, due to remodeling of the struc
ture, many articles' deposited in it^a
half century ago were brought to light.
One of the items known to have been
* *
placed therein was.a bottle of whisky,
and onlookers at the opening of the
cornerstone’ ma^" have had hopes of
sampling the famous product. But
if so, they were doomed to disappoint
ment. The bottle was found, but it
wag empty, the contents having dis
appeared presumably by evaporation.
On the bottlfe was the inscription:
“This whisky was made at the dis
tillery of Wiley Woodward—and de
posited by J. S. Brown, Sept. 26, 1879;
whisky was three years old when de
posited.” ,
Many other interesting relics were
found in the stone, including newspa
pers, minutes of official proceedings,
lists of fraternal society members, a
history of the old Ku Klux Klan, a
bank statement and other documents.
There was also a coin which is now
191 years old, one $100 bill and two
$20 bills.
The bills were no more valuable than
the empty bottle, however, as they
were Confederate currency.

'Sfunny. A month ago the govern

estimated 30 days earlier and the well
known New Yoik Cotton Exchange
closed at an advance of 25 points over
the previous close. Tuesday the gov
ernment made another guess and add
ed about 90,000 bales to the Septem
ber estimate and the market declined
^4 points under Monday's closing
<fUotations. All of which should be
very pleasing to one Carl Williams,
so-called cotton representative on the

Are We Lawless? r
9 :
We hear a lot about lawlessness in
America, and it is true that we are
lawless in one sense of the word. That
is, there is more disregard of law in
this country, perhaps, than in any
other on the globe.
However, if we define lawless to
mean being without laws, we are cer
tainly anything else but. We live un-
' Aar many thousands of laws and ordi-
Mtnces, most of which the average cit-
iaen never heard of. A recent state
ment by T. R. Preston, former presi
dent of the American Bankers Asso
ciation, will illustrate this:
would take a man working eight
boors a day seven years to read all the
laws carted last year, yet ignorance
of the low is no excuse. Coorts ere to
* that the district attorney of
that if every de-
a jory trial.
* .
Quite a lot of crusading has been
done with a view to doing away with
the barricades of billboards which mar
the beauty of our natural scenery, but
in spite of some progress made here
and there, the billboard is still the out
standing national nuisance.
If this nuisance is ever to be ef
fectively abated it must be done
through convincing advertisers that
their part in perpetuating it is bad
business for them. Appeals to senti
ment and love cf the beautiful are
generally futile.
State, county and city authorities
can aid in the movement very material
ly, however, but it is often difficult to
spur them to action. A recent exam
ple of commendable activity in the
fight against ugliness is seen in Geor
gia, where the commissioners of Ful
ton County, in which Atlanta is sit
uated, have ordered the removal of all
signs and billboarda along the high
ways under their jurisdiction. The
member who sponsored this measure
.aid:
“There js a proper place for every
thing, including advertiaing. Our
highways are designed to give tour
ists and Atlanta motorists the most
beautiful scenery possible, but that
scenery i t being ruined by the ever-
in reading number of billboards ano
signs.’'
This is true for every county in
America where the encroachments of
the “outdoor advertiser" have been
permitted to have unrestricted sway.
The foolishness of it all cuts like a
two-edged sword. Billboards in loca
tions which render them offensive are
irritating to the public, without bene
fit to the concerns which pay for them
with the mistaken idea that they are
building business and good will.
Our readers will doubtless recall the
fight made by our own State highway
department, under Admiral Sam Mc
Gowan, a few years ago in an effort to
remove such billboards and signs from
along the highways. We believe that
the department did succeed in having
the billboards placed at a specified dis
tance from the highways, but found
itself powerless to prevent owners of
property adjacent to the highways
from renting their lands to advertis
ers. ^ mr W*”

Among all the low-priced sixes there is not one
with Pontiac's ability to perform its way into your
favor. Its big, 200-cubic-inch L-head engine
develops 60 horsepower at the moderate engine speed
of 3000 r. p. m. It provides faster acceleration and
higher top speed than any other low-priced six,
as proved by the “fifth wheel, 1 ' most accurate of all
speed measuring devices. And it offers greater
smoothness as well because of many important
engineering advancements such as the G-M-R
