DEMOCRATIC RALLY
TO CLOSE CAMPAIGN
(The News Scimitarl

A grand rally, in which all demo-
cratic nominees, including Gov. Rye,
X. d. Mcclellan, Hulburt Fisher and
COL B. A. Enloe will participate, is be
ing planned for Monday night, Nov.
6. by the Shelby county democratic
campaign committee.
The plans are yet in the making but
1t is practically certain that the big
guns" of the party will come to Mem
phis the night before the election to
fire the final shot before the battle of
ballots on the following day.
Mr.. Mcclellan, who spent Sunday in
the city resting, gave his Endorsement
to the proposition and said he be-
lieved such a rally would do mort to
roll up a big majority for the nomi-
nees than any other plan that could II
devised.
The main trouble that has been en-
eountered so far is the lack of a suit
able building in which to hold the
rally. 1t is by no means certain that
one of the theatres can be obtained.

ARMY MEN FIND
NEW BULLETS GOOD

New York, Oct. 24.-Army officers
who have observed the tests of the
new armor-piercing bullet, now in
progress at the Sandy Hook proving
grounds, are enthusiastic over ten re-
suits. The bullet is of only 80 cali
Der, and a be fired from tn eregu-
lation army Springfield rifle. At so
yards the ~projectile ploughed through
a sheet of steel three-quarters of an
inch thick, and her penetrated a sill
houtte taget planted behind the steel
plate. 1t is believed that one of the
new bullets could be fired clean
through from 10 to 20 men standing
in a row.
The bullets are tipped with a piece
of steel, encased in lead, which acts
as a lubricant when the bullet strikes
steel, and thus aids penetration. The
projectiles which passed through tar
gets in recent tests were but little
distorted.
1t is pointed out tina 1.-THE great val
ue of the bullets will be against ar
mored motor cars and against troops
hiding in houses or behind other pro-
lection. One officer said that they
would be of service against such in
struments of war as the now famous
tanks used by the British on the
Somme.

were hard; that he knew personally
that many in New York were with,

ordinance had to be passed permit
ting the sale of horse meat.

/. That Mr.. Roosevelt was in Soutl
America during teh time between thu
passage of he Underwood bill and thu
beginning of the war in Europe, ant
could not possibly have personally
known of conditions in this country
during that period.
2. That the horse meat ordinance
was passed in 1915, a year after the

at a time when there was a great de
mand for labor, and when the coun-
try was prosperous.

WIN. HURTENBACH
DECLARES THAT
HE REGISTERED
ISSUES STATEMENT IN ADvER-
TIsEMENT, APPEARING YES
TERDAY, SAYING HE is A
QUALIFIED VOTER.

W. NJ. Hurtenbach, candidate for
state attorney, stated in an advertise
ment appearing in The Journal. that
he is registered voter Of Escamhia
county.
This card by Mr. Hurtenbach, was
occasioned because hss name did not
appear among the voters of precinct
No. Is, in which he resides. A search
was made by the registration officer.
and it was found the books of that
precinct did not show the name.
Mr.. Hurtenbach says he registered
with Tax Collector Roberts, and not
with the registration officer. Mr..
Roberts stated last night that he
could not remember whether he did
or not register with him, but knows
that he paid his poll tax.
Mr.. Hurtenbach has made affidavit
to the effect that he registered with
the tax collector and has presented
this to the proper authorities with
the request that his name be placed
on the registration books of precinct
No. 13.

LARGER DEPOSITS
IN P. 0. SAVINGS
DEPOsIToRS CAN NOW HAVE
AN ACCOUNT AMOUNTING TO
ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS.

The following has been issued by
the postoffice department:
Larger postal savings deposits will
now be accepted at the postoffice.
This is made possible by an important
amendment to the postal savings act
just approved by President Wilson.
A postal savings depositor may now
have an account amounting to ST 900
upon which interest will be paid. For
meriy $500 was the maximum amount
he could have to his credit. This en-
largement Of postal savings facili-
ties will be very gratifying to thous-
ands of depositors who have already
reached the old $500 limit and are
anxious to entrust more Of their saw
ings to Uncle Sam. Another feature
of the amendment that will avoid
further embarrassment to the public
and to postal officials is the doing
away with the limit on the amount
that could be accepted from a depos-
itor monthly. Under the old law only
800 could be deposited in a calendar
month. The amendment aboliskes
this restriction. While the postal saw
ings system has already proved a
signal success as is shown by the
fact that more than half million de-
positors have over eighty million dol
lars standing to their credit, still it
has fallen short of meeting the full
demands of the public because the
restrictions which have now been
eliminated. Postmaster General
Burleson and Third Assistant Post
master General Dockery have been
tireless in their efforts to secure a
modification of the limitations and the
new liberalizing legislation is partic-
ularly gratifying to them.
