Richmond Is to have another yard
cleaning day. according to plans made
last evening at the meeting of the
West Richmond Improvement associa-
ton. Plans for the affair have not
been completed further than the adop-
ton Of . resolution endorsing the mat
ter. It is probable that the event will
be- held in May this year and will be
attended by the same ceremonies as
were planned for last year, but which
were not carried out owing to the
rainy weather.
Must Have Hose House.
Another matter up for discussion
was the hose house question. One of
the members arose during the meeting
and referred to the fact that the as
ISOLATION was not a political organiza-
ton but that it had 375 votes. It is
confidently believed by the members
OF the association that within the
next year or two they will have a
hose house and better fire protection

Tho civic beauty committee was the

Carmack's friends say not. Col Coop
err swore on the stand that they were
close friends until Gov Robert L.
Taylor opposed Ca-mack for re-elec-

long and bitter. A feature of it was

into the race for governor against Pat

joint debates were arranged and
again the feeling between the factions
grew bitter.
Shooting Follows on Editorials.
On November s, the day before the
killing, an editorial appeared in the
Tennesseean which lampooned Col.
Cooper.
Col. Cooper. upon reading this edi-
torial, sent this message to Carmack:
IF my name appears in the Tenness-
eean again one OF US must die"
On November 8. the day Of the kill

an an editorial which pointedly and
repeatedly used Col. Cooper's name.
On the afternoon of November 3.
shortly after the editorial appeared.
Carmack was walking in one of the
principal streets Of Nashville, when
the tragedy occurred.

This is the tenth season which Miss
Rose Melville has been playing isis

Indiana life which comes to the Gen.
nett on March 20. isis Hopkins is a
play which by reason of it's exquisite
sentiment and cleanly comedy has

has engaged company Of rare excel
lence for the. support Of the star.
