ment does not affect the Offices OF

Each proposition will stand or
fell on its individual merit.
In cities, counties and districts
where the Dortch law applies, all
names and propositions will be
placed on the same ballot. The
voter will take this to the voting
booth and indicate his wish by
placing a cross mark opposite the
word Eyes" or mo-" as the case
may be. If for any reason he does
not mark his ballot, his vote counts
"no."
In counties and towns where the
Dortch law does not apply, the
amendments will be printed on the
ballot alongside of the regular
ticket. The ballot for this occa-
sion will be made just twice the
usual width to make room for the
amendments. And the voter must
mark out or scratch any amend
ment he does not wish to vote for
exactly as he does the name of an

ATTENDING THE CONSTITUTION.

The American will print the
proposed amendments to the Con
stitution upon this page until the
election, in order that its readers
may become thoroughly familiar
with them. Each amendment, of
course, stands or falls upon its
merits, and one or several may be
defeated and the others adopted.
We believe that a close study
and understanding of the effect of
each will show the wisdom of
adopting all. The first four, re-
lating to the election and Office of
Governor, Secretary of State,
Sheriff, Trustee, Treasurer and
Comptroller, are, we believe, very
generally favored, and the fifth
one, when it is closely studied, will
be also, we are sure. The effect
of this amendment will be to allow
each county to make its own laws
on the subject of roads, fences and
the treatment of domestic animals.
1t is one of the most important, if
not the most important, proposed,
and should be adopted by all
means.
Nothing will do more for the
general progress of the State than
the building of roads, and under
the present plan, whore there must
be general road law, applying to
all counties alike, it is very diff
cult to obtain legislation of value,
as what is good for one county
with a large population may not be
desired by the one of smaller pop
ulation, or what is wanted by the
county where road material is ac-
cessible will not do for that where
the road material must be trans
ported long ways. Differing
conditions necessitate different
laws. A county like Davidson and
other populous centers are inn
pressed with the wisdom of a no
fence law, while the thinly-popu-
lated mountain counties are very
deeply impressed with the wisdom
of allowing their cattle to range
where they will.
The counties whore sheep can be
raised proftably want the prowl-
ing cur dog restrained. Other
counties are not interested in the
subject and want the dog given all
the liberties that his master pos
sesses and a little more.
1t will be seen that the fifth |
amendment is one which goes
home to the people closer than any
of the others. 1t is, it should be
borne in mind, not an active one.
1t only confers the right of decid-
ing the questions of which it treats
upon the people of the respective
counties, regardless of what other
counties may think or do.
The other two amendments, the
sixth and seventh, we have here
tofore advocated on various occa-
sions, and will from time to time
refer to again.-Nashville Ameri-
can.

nowadays the gown is fashioned of
lace with appliques Of cloth.
The costume in question is . rich
silk cluny lace, dyed to a shimmering
shade OF satin cloth of the same tint,
decorated with bows of narrow sill

and bclero effect, with cord ornaments
in silver, similar decorations being
used on the belt The sleeves have an
inserted puff OF plisse chiffon tinted
hyacinth blue.
Another distinguished and impress
sivc gown designed for hostess is of
amber crepe with Maltese lace trim
mings. The effect OF many strappings
is cleverly produced by corded shir-
rings fastened down with handsome
velvet and crochet buttons. The up
per and lower sleeves are charmingly
designed, tucked straps joining the
two sleeves. The same strapped effect
borders the yoke, a narrow band of
velvet marking the simulated decoi-
letage of the transparent yoke. and
also outlining the fitted ceinture.

The corsage has an inside fullness of
white chiffon. over which the en-
broidered net is draped in bolero Ell
feet. with handsome white silk bow
as center clasp. and deep green
taffeta girdle as a finish to the waist.
The sleeve consists OF a full rufle
falling from the shoulder. bordered
with chiffon pleats and fringe. The
soft. low collar is also outlined with a
band of fringe. 1t is, perhaps, need
less to suggest that any clever girl
