EAGLE FIGHTS FOR YOUNG
Superior Deafness Of the "FemaIe
Of the Species" Is Demonstrated
In California.

MERGED, William Bancroft and
Manuel Thomas returned from Pleas
ant Valley converted to Kipling's
theory of the superior deadliness OF
the female of the species" after haV-
ing terrific fight with mother eagle
for an hour and half.
The two men scaled an oak tree to
examine an aerie and found the whole
family, father and mother eagle and
two eaglets, at home. After shooting
and killing the male in self-protection,
Thomas joined forces with Bancroft
against the beak and talon attack OF
the Infatuated mother bird.
After an exhausting conflict they
managed to grab her by the neck and
pull her talons from the flesh of Bar
croft's arms, which are very much cut
and scratched.
Fearing to release the bird and risk
another encounter, the men brought
the eagle and her young ones to towr
for exhibition.

-cTHE KOZY. :
Garrett or Cordell Hull.

That the democrats Of Weakley,
Gibson, Lauderdale, Lake, Obion,
Upton and other counties in this
section of West Tennessee are for
Garrett or Hull for the nomina-
ton for United States senator,
was the statement this morning
of Louis E. Elkins, representative
in the legislature from Gibson,
says Mondays Banner, who is in
Nashville today.
Mr.. Elkins made quite reputa-
ton in the legislature for his
many fights against the bosses,
and especially for the gallant
stand he made in the lower house
for the retention of the ten-citi-
zons clause in the custer bill.
He stood fat-footedly against tax
ing the teeth out OF the bill, as
did bis brother, Robert Elkins,
in the senate. The latter was the
author Of the bill.
THE democrats Of my section
of the state are for Garrett or
Hull. Garrett is we'll known
personally in the district, and
very popular. Cordelle Hull would
also be a strong candidate down
there. In case Garrett did not
run and Hull did, by a strong
canvass in the counties of my
section, Hull could sweep it. The
democrats down there are not for
Lea, Patterson or Sims. Nickel
lar is not regarded as a strong
candidate. The sentiment among
the democrats in those counties
against Lea is very strong, and
he will poll a very small vote. :"
Political interest now centers
among the politicians in the state
ment of M. R. Patterson that he
would reach Nashville this week
and make a definite statement as
to whether he will enter the race,
Until he has made his determine
ton one way or the other, there
will probably not be any more
announcements.

been unable to consult his col
leagues OF the federal reserve
board on account OF his absence
from Washington, but feels conf
dent of their cooperation in every
reasonable way.
Mr., McAdoo said, however,
that should it appear that the OBJ
iect in view could be accomplish
ed with greater efficiency to the
cotton producers, the merchants
and the banks OF the South, by
depositing government funds in
the national banks direct, instead
Of in the federal reserve banks,
he would take that course and
make deposits in such national
banks as would give him the as
surance that the money so depos-
tied or the credit based thereon
would be loaned on cotton insured
or warehoused and at a rate Of
interest not to exceed six per cent.
The secretary declared he be-
lieved that there was no occasion
for alarm about the future Of cot
ton and that if the bankers and
merchants would cooperate with
each other and with the cotton
producers Of the South in a gpirit
Of patriotism and mutual regard
for each others welfare, the situa-
ton could be handled with happy
results. He expressed the earnest
hope that this would be done"

Drainage P ostponed.

Several times during the past
week or ten days delegations have
visited Dresden to discuss the va
rious drainage projects in this
county. On Tuesday a humble,
of gentlemen were here who are
opposed to the drainage planned
for the South Fork and Spring
creek. Thes gentlemen had IN
derstood from an attorney that
the bonds had been traded to the
contractors doing the dredging
that this was not in keeping with
the statute regulating drainage
schemes, but upon arrival here
and upon more careful examina-
ton into the law it was found, we
understand, that this is not a VIC
lation OF the statute, and SO the
meeting was fruitless in that par
ticular. While many land owners
favor drainage, there also is an
increasing number who oppose this
plan of retaining lands unless it
can be done at a much lower fig.
ure than any which has been con.
tracted for in this county. 1t seems
to us that it would be a good idea
to have a committee appointed to
investigate the cost OF drainage
work in other localities situated
similar to this county or the bot
tom lands OF this county, and
those who are most concerned and
who oppose the. drainage projects
should be the proper persons to
do this. 1t is charged that the
ditching, or dredging in the Spring
creek district was let at 1917 cents
per cubic yard, while IN the north
part OF the county, it is claimed,
contractors bid on the dredging at
only 5 cents, and in the Harris
creek district, at Fulton, that only
5 cents per cubic yard was charg-
ed. These are matters that ought
to be looked into, since there are
several drainage projects under
way in this county and land own
ers' interests ought to be looked
into. II there are any of our read
ers who are in a position to throw
any light on this question, which
seems to be agitating the public
mind just now, we respectfully
invite them 10 do so through the
columns Of the Enterprise.
