Mack Lawhorn Dead

Mack Hawthorn, well-known in
the community of Huntingdon,
died Thursday of last week at the
county poorhouse. He was about
81 years old and his death was the
result Of old age and disabilities in
cident thereto. He was a member
of the Methodist church, if we are
not mistaken, and was an inoffen-
siye man. Before his affections
came upon him he was in Hunting
don much and had many friends
and no enemies. The burial oc-

EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS
Convened Last Monday Wilson's
First Message

The extra SESSION OF the sixty
third congress convened last Mon
day. This is the first time in many
years when the president and a
majority of both houses Of con-
gress we're democratic.
The session is called for the pur-
pose Of revising the tariff, but
other important questions will be
considered and the session will
likely continue until August.
Last Tuesday President Wilson
presented his message to congress.
The president ignored the custom
of a century and read his message
to congress instead of sending it
in to be read by the clerk.
AS the president read on, every
eye was riveted toward the speak
ers stand with its new occupant.
Never in the life of any man pres
ent had a president occudied that
historic place in such capacity.
Here was the head of the nation
come to assert that he was a per-
son, "a human being" come to
deal with his follow men in con-
troll Of the nations destiny as a
man Of force, not mere depart
ment of the government. 1t was
so unusual that to many it seemed
almost unreal, but the president,
smiling as he spoke, and talking to
the great assemblage as man to
man. soon developed in the gath
ering a fellow feeling,
Throughout the message the
president read in that clear voice,
which carried his words to every
corner of the big hall. Members
of the house and senate sat through
out in rapt attention, following
every word closely.
The message is published in full
on another page of this issue of
the Democrat.

QUARTERLY COURT
April Term a Very Lively and
interesting Session

The April term Of the quarterly
court was held last Monday. 1t
was very busy and al times a
lively session. The attendance was
good, practically all Of the men,
bers being present. The regular
routine Of business of the court
was dispatched with considerable
speed and fairly good order pre-
vailed. One member allowed him
self to become agitated and used
some uncomplimentary language
that somewhat shocked the staid
members of that dignihed body.
Quite lot OF work was done
during the morning hours in an
effort to work up a sentiment in
the court against /. K. Williams,
of Hollow Rock, who has the dis
tinction Of holding two offices. He
is not only a member OF the county
court, but IS also tick doctor. Mr..
Williams has some political enc
mines in his own party and they
were hobnnbbing with democrats
in an effort to have Mr.. Williams
removed from the Office of stock
inspector.
Mr.. Williams was elected at the
January term of court as stock
inspector for the county. He was
already a magistrate and it was
soon urged that he could not hold
two Offices. Dir. G. r. White, the
state veterinary surgeon had bill
passed through the legislature re-
moving this disability. Williams
opponents we're insisting that he
would have to be reelected, as he
could not legally hold the office at
the time of his election. They had
selected j. L. Moore, Of Westport.
as Williams successor, provided
they could defeat Williams.
When the time came for action
some member of the court asked
Judge Enochs with reference to
the matter and the Judge explained
that since Williams election
the state veterinary surgeon had
had a bill pass the legislature re-
moving Williams disability, and
the question was allowed to drop
here. No effort was made to
have the court rescind the act in
electing Williams, which would
have been the proper course to
have pursued to have gotten the
question properly before the court.
The tick question, always
knotty problem, was up aga
Monday. The state department /; t
Nashville sent a young fellow down
here to appear before the court
and have that body elect another
tick doctor to work with Williams,
promising aid from the state and
federal government in the event
such action was taken. This young
fellow, whose name we failed to
learn, and who also seemed to have
more zeal than judgment, appeared
before the court and made a very
unfortunate speech, and one that
did not set well with the court,
and the proposition was turned
down. just what effect this clash
between the county court and the
state department will have on the
tick situation in Carroll county we
cannot say.

ment. General Villa returned today
from the vicinity OF Chihuahua City
without having entered the state capi-
tai, to the town Of Villa Ahumada,
eighty miles south Of the border.
It was said that recent events such
as the evacuation of Chihuahua and
further extension Of rebel territory ne
cessitated more united understand

cordingly General Villa requested Cen
eral Carranza, at Hermosillo. to pro-

way Of Juarez, Carranxa would have to
pass thru the United States.
Villa today said he hoped in his trip

sertions Of federal bands. many OF
whom have been isolated and without
pay for weeks.

and some disposition to question
whether 1t would have the effect OF at

Appeal to Prejudice and Coalition With

Force Scott OF New York. chairman
Of the legislative committee Of the
Guidon Club. opposed to women's suf-
frage. addressed the house rules COM
mittee today in argument against a
standing committee on suffrage.
Each successful suffrage campaign"
she said, has been carried by an ap-
peal to the people to arise against the
law and the existing government under
the dictates Of self interest. In Los
Angeles the suffragettes chanted to the
beat OF marching feet with the labor
unions and socialist organizations and
marched bareheaded past n prison in
which tho McNamaras awaited their
fate. You vote for us and we will vote
for you.'"
Mrs. Scott declared that a recent at
tack on the president for a failure to
pre-judge the suffrage question by CIV
ing it approval in his message is an
other instance Of demand outrunning
it's justification. She urged that the
federal government have nothing to do
with the suffrage question:: that 1t
should be left to the states. In this
she was supported by Mr.. and Mrs.
Rossiter Johnson. also OF tho Guidon
Club OF New York. Mr.. Johnson in
sisted that any state desiring woman's
suffrage was at liberty to have It
without any amendment OF the fed
eral constitution or any action OF con-
gress whatever"
I'm making advances toward wo-
mans suffrage" said Mrs. Johnson.
this government would be playing into
tho hands OF two forces within the
United States that desire their over
throw These forces are socialism and
Mormonism. Tho latter introduced
woman's suffrage into this country
while Utah was a territory and social
ism is responsible for every other
