Jackson, Tenn.-Winnie Moore, aged

her chum, Katie Clyde Davis, aged Is,
In a local meat market, Miss Davis,
her father and R. E. Rogers, proprie-
tor Of the meat market, claim that the

According to r. E. Rogers, Miss Da-
Wis, who is telephone girl at his meat
market, and Miss Moore, together
with his son, Ed Rogers, and the por-
ter, were in the shop when Miss Da-
Wis picked up .38 Smith & Wesson

ter and playfully pointed 1t at the face
of her chum, thinking 1t was unload
ed. When she pulled the trigger Miss
Moore was shot squarely between the
eyes and was killed instantly. ]. j.
Davis, father of the girl who did the
shooting, confirmed this version of
the tragedy and added that before his
daughter picked up the revolver the
young son of the proprietor had been
playing with it and had removed the
cartridges from it, but that they had
been replaced without her knowledge.
Miss Davis herself is Frustrated
with grief and her physician declined
to permit her to be interviewed. She
and the victim of her act are said to
have been the best of friends and her
brother often went with the girl who

Chattanooga has opened the cam

In putting the initial movement under

Judge James H. Malone of Memphis
who spent the summer in the noun
tains of East Tennessee and who Wis
tied friends at Chattanooga and Knox
vile, calls attention to the fact that
the old constitution will help In the
present campaign for a convention.
Cndsr the provisions of this constitu-
ton and the peculiarities of the calen-
dar, the terms of all state, district,
county, civil and judicial officers will

The fact that the movement to mo
morialize the legislature to pass bill
authorizing the resubmission of this
question to the people in 1917, orig
mates In East Tennessee, is regarded
as ono of the strongest moves that
could be made in order to insure sue
cess. East Tennessee gave the heav.
lest majority against the question in
the recent election. If 1t had given Q
majority, or even 2,000 of Its negative
votes to the affirmative side of the
question, the election would have car
rled. With the statute Of limitation at
work, more than 1000 will be changed
In 1917.

NEW FOOTWEAR FOR ARMY
improved Shoe Model viii Be Hob.
nailed for Service In
Mexico.

The war department appointed a
shoe commission in 1912 to design a
model embodying the best points Of
all the army shoes, SURPRISING them,
if possible. The shoe which was
adopted was Of good materials, well
made on rational last designed by
the department. The interior is per-
fectly smooth, with heel broad and low
and sole moderately thick. The arch
is flexible ang without metal shank or
other stiffening. Eyelets are used
rather than hooks. The shoe reaches
but little above the ankle; 1t is wide
across the ball Of the foot and has a
high toe cap. 1t Is comfortable, neat
looking, light in weight and easily re-
moved or put on.
As soon as the soldiers wear out the
shoes Of the type which they are now
using on the border they will be refit-
ted with the new type which the gov
eminent has ordered, says a writer in

some disadvantages, therefore, but the
severe usage In Mexico made 1t desir-
able to give this type thorough try
out In regular service.
