Democrats to Hold
Meeting May IL.

Over the protest Of several men,
bers of the committee, who assert
ed that such a course would, be
viewed as snap action by the dem
ocrats of the state, the state demo-
cratic executive committee at its
meeting Saturday adopted a plan
for the selection of delegates to a
state convention to be held in
Nashville, MAY II, by which the
county committees Of the state are
authorized to call a primary or
convention to select delegates upon
a ten DAYS notice. The plan pro-
vides that these delegates must be
selected by Monday, April 8, and
that if the county committee has
not acted by that date, d conven.
ton must be held in the county
seat to name the delegates.
Those who opposed the plan as
snap action moved amendments By
which later date would be given
the counties in which to act and
providing for q, uniform day for
the selection OF delegates.
Both amendments were defeat
ed by a vote Of II to s.

Son ConfeSSeS to
Murder of. Father.

Avery Townsend, farmer liv-
ing two and one-half miles from
Crockett Mills, in Crockett county,
is said to have been murdered by
his son about three weeks ago and
the body, which was found Satur-
day morning, sunk in.baek waters
Of the Forked Deer river.
A negro who claims to have
helped the boys hide the body Of
their murdered father confessed
under pressure from officers and
later one Of the sons confirmed the
negro's confession.
Townsend's wife, three sons and
two daughters and the negro are
held in Jail at Alamo charged With
implication in the murder.
The murdered man is said to
have had a violent temper and in
the famous Townsend feud near
Newbern, Dyer county, twenty
years ago, killed three men.
When the body was found by a
searching party Saturday morn
ing it was in a partially decompos.
ed condition, but was identified by
a bullet wound 10 the left arm.
He was about eighty years OF age
and was considered to be a pros
porous farmer. He left several
hundred dollars in life insurance.
The motive Of the murder pro-
badly was either 10 secure 1000
insurance on the life Of the farmer
or as revenge for his alleged cruel
u to his family.

/ II you Gin bear to listen to me
for few moments and excuse
errors in oration, | will try and
give a few ideas, whichA have

our worthy county agent, Mr.,
Ellis. | live over ia the south
part Of the county, III the Six
teenth civil district. | have been
a corn club boy for one year, and
am very thankful to Mr.. Ellis and
the department Of agriculture for
instructions given me on how to
grow an acre Of corn.
Upon deciding to enlist in the
ranks Of the corn club BOYS, !
selected one acre Of land On my
fathers farm, which he and his
ancestors has been cultiyating for
fifty-odd years, and producing
from twenty five to forty bushels
of corn per acre.
Cotton was grown on my plot
in 1914, and winter oats sown at
at laying-by time for cover crop,
but they were winter killed. My
plot is we'll drained with a gentle
slope facing the southwest. The
soil on my plot is of two kinds,
about one.half being OF light gray
loan, the remainder is of a white
clay or buckshot soil. The white
clay seems to pack and run to-
gether very easily after rains,
while the gray loan remains
loose and contains an abundance
Of moisture.
| used disc harrow on April
10 and cut the cotton stalks
down, and on April 20 | used a
three-hOrse Chattanooga Twin
disc pillow and broke plot ten
inches deep. My reason for deep
breaking was for the purpose OF
retaining the moisture that was
i'll the soil and to prepare a deep
seed bed. | narrowed my plot
twice and double disced once be-
tween the harrowings TO cover the
five tons Of stable manure, which

Prof. Hawks Closes
9TH School at Harris

When school at Harris schoo
house, three miles north OF ORES
den, closed for the term on las
Thursday, it made the seventh
term Prof. Green Hawks hac
taught at that place, and during
these seven years, through his in
strumentallty, large, magni6,
cent, modern school building has
replaced the little old one room
building, which is SO rapidly,
thanks to progressive board Of
education, passing away in this
county. The term just closed at
Harris BY Mr.. Hawks was the
best in the history Of the school.
Despite continued bad weather, an
epidemic Of la grippe and other
ills, the attendance for the term
averaged tfty-nine.
Hawks has been teaching at
Harris so long that some Of the
children whom he first instructed
there are grown, married and
have families OF their own, their
children calling Mr.. Hawks I'm
Gle Green" and Grandpa Hawks"
We don't know of any other teach.
or in this county who has stuck to
one school seven years. 1t speaks
well for the teacher and we'll for
the school. In the first place, if
the patrons had not given Hawks
their cooperation, and If the chill
dren hadn't been mighty good
and obedient and faithful, he
would not have remained there
seven years; and again, if he
hadn't given splendid satisfaction,
proven himself reliable and con-
scientious he couldn't have re-
manned there seven years. But
Mr.. Hawks tells US this is his last
year at Harris.

Court Annoyed by
MobS, Comes Home

Judge Jos. E. Jones came home
last Saturday night for a bit OF
rest, having been on the grill
at Dyersbug for a couple Of weeks,
finding an exceedingly heavy
docket there. And to make mat
tiers more arduous, two mobs
visited Dyersburg on last Thurs
day night seeking two negroes,
one of whom committed rape up
on white woman and the other
being charged with mudering a
white woman.
The mobs came from opposite
sections Of the county-one from
the east and the other from the
west-and neither knew the other
was expected. The first mob ar
rived on horseback about mid
night, but Sheriff Dawson as
surred the leaders their negro
was not there, and when the
other mob arrived, at 2 O'clock,
he also convinced them their
negro was not in the Dyersburg
Jail. Both negoes had been sent
away when first arrested, but
word went out during last week
that the two negroes had been
brought back for trial.
Judges Jones went down to the
Jail himself, and found out that
the MODS were in dead earnest.
He got in communication with
Gov. Rye, asking the chief exc
cutive to send down some troups
to protect the negroes at their
trials this week, but Rye didn't
like mourning the expense. How
ever, after Judge Jones talked
pretty straight to him, he agreed
to send forty-four soldiers down,
but was assured this number
would not be a drop in the bucket.
