JOY RIDING GIRLS
FIRED ON JOBS
MEN NOW NIGHT CENTRALS IN
TELEPHONE STATION AT
FAYETTEVILLE.

FAYETTEVILLE, Tenn, Feb. IL
Men have been substituted for wo-
men as "centrals" in the night ser
vice of the Cumberland Telephone
Company here, the change taking
place, it is alleged, because of the dis
appearance from the town of one OF
the girls previously employed and the
stories in circulation regarding Joy
rides" in which the girls are said to
have been accompanied by prominent
men about town. Frequently, 1t is
said, the central" night girls have
been away from their post of duty
The substitution of men for women in
the company's employ here was
brought about by the local manager
S. H. Lloyd, who acted as soon as he
learned of the alleged deficiencies of
the girls. The matter has created
much talk and has been taken up with
the attorney general, and, it is re-
ported, will be investigated by the
next grandjury.

COOLEST MORNING
OF ENTIRE WINTER
MERCURY DROPPED TO FOUR
TEEN AND ICE WAS HERE IN
GREAT ABUNDANCE.

Indeed March came in like lion
this time. Sunday, the first day,
gave varied sample of weather,
none of which was suggestive of the
gentle zephyrs of spring. And this
morning was the coolest day of the
entire winter, the mercury registered
fourteen degrees above zero. The
lowest on any previous day of the
winter was seventeen above. Streams
that have had no ice on them all the
winter were coated over this morning
and cold north wind more appropri-
ate for December and January than
suggestive Of March, added to the dis.
comforts Of the morning. During
Sunday there was sunshine and shad-
ow and small snow storm, but dur
ing the entire day the mercury show
ed tendency to hang near the bot.
tom Of the tube and a regular north.
east blizzard swept the country. The
promise of milder weather is held out,
although it will doubtless be several
days before there is anything in the
temperature really like spring.

cOUNTIAN, WRITES OF CLIO.
RIES OF TEXAS.

Sol Maxwell tells pretty good one
Of the farming adventures of his
brother, Bob Maxwell, a former resi-
dent of this county, but who now
lives at Melon, Texas. He says that
in a letter from his brother, the lat
ter states that he bought watermelons
off the vine up to Jan. Is at his home.
Melon is about eighty miles out from
San Antonio, and is in the celebrated
irrigated section of Texas, where
crops can be grown the year round.
He stated that corn had been up for
some time, and that it had healthy
growth already.
Mr.. Maxwell proclaims Texas the
greatest state in the union, and says
that it offers unlimited opportunities
and advantages for farming and
trucking. He is delighted with his
situation, although he still has a
laundering to see old Maury county
again.

Spare the rod and put the child

"MODERN EVEREST
SHOW OF SEASON
EDWARD HUME STAR OF CAST.
GOOD CHORUS, CATCHY MUSIC
AND CATCHY SONGS.

"A Modern Eve" which was at the
New Grand Thursday night, was a
treat and the best thing that has been
here in the theatrical line this sea-
son. One does not wonder that it
had such a run in Chicago and New
York after seeing the character of
show the company presented here.
Only fair audience was present
to see it. They were very apprecia-
tive, however, and the company was
encored repeatedly whenever some
catchy song was sung.
Edward Hume as Casimir Casca-
der, was the star of the evening,
and he was but little short of George
Evans as comedian and entertain
er. His antics and the way in which
he got off his jokes provoked peals Of
laughter from the audience. He is a
delightful entertainer, and would
have been worth the price of admis-
sion by himself. However, the sup
porting company was top notch in
every respect. Miss Lee Johnston
as the Baroness, or the modern Eve,
was exceptionally good, while Law
renee Ackerlind, as Justine Pontgi-
rard, played his role well. There was
not a bum actor in the whole compa-
ny.
The staging and costumes were the
best that have been seen here this
season. Everything was entirely
new, and elaborate in every detail.
The musical numbers were catchy,
and several of them had to be sung
two or three times in response to en-
cores by the audience. The most
popular of them Goodbye Every
body which was tuneful and had a
swing about it that was irresistible.
The chorus was exceptionally fine,
and their costumes were bright and
attractive. Furthermore, they had
good voices and were good dancers.

Gov. coIquitt Declares Conditions Are

AUSTIN, Tex. Feb. 27.-A request
to know whom the United States
government now recognizes as the
constituted authority in Mexican
states bordering on the Rio Grande,"
went forward today to President vii.
son from Gov. o. B. Colquit, of Texas
The request was made for the pur,
pose Of demanding the surrender of
the abductors and murderers of Glenn
ente Vergara, Texas citizen, execue
ed by Mexican federals.
Then apparently answering the
question himself, the governor asked
consent of the United States, in
view Of the condition of revolution
and anarchy in these border states,
to send rangers across the Rio Grande
in pursuit of the .lawless element Of
either faction when they cross into
Texas and commit crimes"
Il insist, Mr. President, that Texas
as a sovereign state, is entitled to the
protection of Texas citizens on the
border from an unbearable condition
like that which now exists" conclud
ed the message.
Earlier in the day Gov Colquit had
put in motion an investigation of the
Vergara incident through state chan
nels. The first result was informa
ton from the Webb county records /
asserting positively that the island 1
where Vergarais said to have been ]
seized, belongs to Texas.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27-President
Wilson today took the position that
for the United States to send marines
or armed forces of any kind into Mex
leo without the consent Of the gov
eminent authorities there would be
an act of war. He declared emphat
ically that permission never had been
sought either sof Gen. Huerta or Of
Gen. Caranza, and indicated clearly
that no request of that character
would be made in the near future
The President announced, too, that
no change in the policy Of the Amer
can government toward Mexico had Nj
been decided upon.
The President had been asked par
ticularly about reports that Amer
can troops might be sent across the
border to recover the body of william
s. Benton, and concerning published
dispatches that the United States
contemplated sending marines ="
Mexico City to guard the America
embassy. 81
One press dispatch, saying Genera
Huerta himself had stated today thai
United States to send 1000 marine
to Mexico City, was shown to Pres
dent Wilson, who said no such reques
had ever been made.
Administration officials expresse'
the opinion that Gen. Huerta proO'
bly, inspired the statement merely lV
effect on the Mexican people. TnoD
he hoped to impress with his antlP'
thy to the American government d
it is we'll known that permission
