SUFFRAGISTS FLOCK TO
TENNESSEE FOR BATTLE

Nashville, Aug. 7.—Governer Rob
erta, of Tennessee, this afternoon issu
ed a call for s special session of the
legislature to convene at noon, Mon
day Auguat 9. Of the 19 subjects men
tioned for action at tha laaaiow. first
was ratification of tha fadarmJ suf
frsge afnendment, tha
As tha legal wtmtm at
third praacrihaa qualification of wom
en for voting, including imposition of
poll tax and time of registration.
In anticipation of tha fight bafora
the special session Monday suffragists
and anti-suffragists, not only from the
other cities of Tennessee, but from the
other statea of the union, are arriv
ing on each train reaching here. The
hotels already are crowded with them.
The advance guard has been hers for
several days, the flood began today.
The suffragists are considerably in the
majority.
Many member* of the legislature
will likely be unable to reach here in
time for the first session, because of
the distance they live from the capital.
The news of the special call by Gov
ernor Roberta cannot reach some of
them until Monday morning.
Speaker Todd, of the senate, has
promiaed. according to the suffragists,
to introduce the ratification bill in the
upper house, while Speaker Walker,
of the lower house, has made a simi
lar promise with regard to introducing
it in his body. The floor leaders in the
senate for suffrage will be Senators
Albert E. Hill, Democrat, and Senator
John C. Houk. Republican. In the
house the suffragists have aaked T. K.
Riddick, of Memphis, to lead their
battle.
Both sides appear very confident of
the result.
The anti-suffragists are quite as ac
tive aa the suffragists. They are not
visiting the so Ions individually, but
are conducting their campaign prin
cipally by literature.

Danville, Va., Aug. 4.—Myrtle
Anderson, four year old daughter of
James Anderson, who is charged with
murdering his brother, William Ander

after William Anderson had been shot,
his revolver dropped to the floor and
that a few moments later her mother
picked op the weapon and threw it
under the bed. Th* revolver said to
have been held by WilHam Anderson
was found tws days later underneath
the house. Mrs. Anderson has profes
sed ignorance aa to how the revolver
came to be found there.
Commonwealth's Attorney J. W.

pretty little child important but It re
mains to be seen whether or not the
court win admit ao young a witness
He itstos that this dependa on wheth

which It not true.

NEW METHOD OF CURING
TOBACCO IS TRIED OUT
J. H. Mahler U Exp«rifo«f>ting
With Device That May B«
Worth WhiU
Reidsville, Aug. 8.—J. H. Mahler,
manager nt the leaf department of the
American Tobacco company, ia experi
menting with • new process of curing
tobacqo which gives promiae of aav
ing lonaidenble time over the present
tedioua and alow method of caring the
weed.
A small experimental barn haa been
t erected neat the cuntpany'a storage
»heda north of town near the R. H.
Wray place. Thia barn to substantially
constructed and divided into two small
, rooms, almost airtight. The plant to
.equipped with a steam boiler and an
' engine to drive a fan. The barn to
' heated by steam pipes and the tem
| perature to eaaily rmiaed to any degree
. necessary to cure the leaf.
But the theory of saving time rwta
mainly on the yellowing of the leaf be
| fore applying the curing heat. Live
' steam to turned into the room hung
: with tobacco leavea in the belief that
alternate ■teaming and drying out
with a fan will greatly hasten the
! proceas of "yellowing." \fter thia only
|a few hours are required to properly
i cure the leaf which ks quickly put into
•oft order by turning on live steam
and can be replaced with another cur
ing—with little loss of time.
The idea to to build large bama with
several compartments or rooms in or
der that tobacco curing can be carried
on continuously with the use of the
same boiler and engine—requiring
only one plant to one or a number of
farma.
The experiment will be watched with
much Interest by many of our leading
tobacco farmers.
It to hoped by the promoters that
the new proceas will cut the time of
curing tobacco down to one-half or
one third. Also that perhapa seme im
provement of the color can be obtain
ed by the new process of "yellowing"
the green leaf.

In these times every young fallow
needs money when he goes out amung
the young folks. The girls need "no ley
to buy toilet articlee. and they should
be allowed to buy these things that
are the style of the day, and they
should not be expected to beg for the
money and rip lab why they want
them, and then take a scolding becauae
they desire to be like other people.
The girl who ia embai raaasil by the

one day be found making plana to

other young people. If you want the
ynung folks to bo contented on the

that this is the year 1920 and that
the customs have changed rapidly in
the past twenty years. T< meet the
nerds of theae changed conditions ao

the important question.
There are hundred* of farmers who
have laved and pot their savings into
land and old age finds then with •
biff farm and all their children gone
to town and no one to cultivate the
farm. All this roald be changed if the
young folks could in some way be
made to enjoy farm life and be content
to stay there rather than move away
to the city.
