a light in her eyes which he had never
seen before. The possibility of her
being in love with Hastings came to
him with starting suddenness. What II
she was? Jimmy leaned his head
against the porch pillar and frowned
miserably. What if Mildred we're
in love with another man?
He tried to smile, however, when
the other two returned. Hastings, his
face rather flushed, nodded absently
to Jimmy.
"Millie is just as perfect dancer
as she ever was" he announced. Then
he turned to the girl, Il hope that you
will give me good many more dances

South. We are all facing crisis.
This war in Europe puts things in
such uncertainty that no man can
foresee the future with any degree Of
clearness.
The sure and certain increase in
cotton acreage means lower cotton
prices next fall. Cost Of all food and
grain products is high, so high that
no one can afford to buy and expect
to pay out with cotton.
It's time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your
own acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece Of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and.
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay half your living. It will

by the state constitutions. They knew
that state legislatures often do SO and
that there would be no reason for leg
islators il they did not. There would
be no necessity for Senator Caldwell
and his colleagues if questions within
Legislative authority are to be submit
ted by constitutional amendment.
Certainly it cannot be said that the
trainers OF the national platform did
not contemplate Legislative action in
the several states.
/ The suffragists are not asking for
full suffrage from the legislature.
When they do ask for full suffrage
they will ask for the submission Of a
constitutional amendment, which the
state platform admits they are entitled
to. This would be necessary, because
the constitution does not permit the
legislature to grant them full suffrage,
But it does permit partial suffrage,
such as they are asking. To submit
an amendment to give them what Is
already inthe power OF the legislature
would be ridiculous. They have q
right, undF the constitution, to ask
an extensicq Of the franchise such al
they ask.
4 They havea right to expect the DEM
ocratic members to vote for it under
the plank inthe democratic platform
which says, 1--WE recommend an ex-
tension of the franchise to the women
Of the county by the states.'' The
legislatures are the law-making
branches OF the states. We are asking
for an extension-'p iece-meal,u ifI
you please, senator. Even little Is
an extension, /" and that is the word
used in the platform 81 your party.
The duty OF those members protesting
tobe democrats Is plain. That duty
has been seen and met by men like
Representatives. Griffin, Reynolds and
Bratton, representing the same ooun-
ties that Senator Caldwell was elected
to represent. TO these men is due the
gratitude Of, not alone the suffragists.
but also Of their constituency. who
are loyal to the democratic party
They have not unnertaken to side-step
the issue but have met it like men.
TO the credit Of themselves and their
party.

Deputy atcher Ar
rests Negro RObber

Deputy Nec Hatcher came over
from Greenfield On last Saturday
with Ben Busby, 4 negro deliy-
ery hack driver for Belew &
Holder, grocers Of Greenfield.
Rnaby is charged with stealing
Aonr meat, lard, ETC., from his
employers. When confronted
with the charge Busby acknow-
lodged to the theft, telling mem
bers Of the firm if they would &C.
company him to his home he
would show them the goods. With
Busby they started, but when out.
side the business district the ne
gro broke and ran like a frightened
deer.
Deputy Hatcher learned late
Friday night where the negro was
spending the night. He got up at
8 o'clock Saturday morning got a
car and went out eleven miles from
Greenfield and arrested the negro
at a negro house. Bringing his
prisoner to town he left him in the
store OF Messrs, Below & Holder
while he went for his breakfast at
a restaurant. Upon his return he
found the negro, who was still
hand-cuffed bleeding, and bruised
about the face, the negro telling
him that parties in the store had,
carried him into the basement and
administered a sound beating. \
Upon his arrival here Busby's face
and eyes were sore and swollen and
bleeding. Busby has spent consid-
cradle time at Sheriff Melon s
boarding house, being released
last August on a pistol charge af-,
ter serving the usual term.

REPLY TO SENATOR DAVE P. CALDWELL.

Editor Enterprise: State Senator
Caldwell Of Union City voted against
the partial suffrage bill, and some ONT
has thought it worth the money to pay
for advertising the excuses he Offered
for repudiating the equal suffrage
plank Of the democratic party adopted
at the st. Louis convention in June,
1915. This plank. reads;
1--WE reccomend the extern
sion OF the franchise to the wo-
men Of the country by the
states upon the same terms as
to men,"
This plank either means what il
says or the democratic party yrs gull
ty Of bad faith in adopting it. The
suffragists of Tennessee are not yet
willing to believe that President Will
sons party will not stand by its plat
form. In order to hold to that faith
we may have to take Senator Caldwell
out OF President Wilson's class, but as
a shining example OF democratic con-
sistency and platform adherence the
senator has already shown, OF his own
accord, a tendency to outclass others.
1t is not my purpose to discount the
senator's excuses. They are the acme
OF adroitness. He refers to the plat
form adopted at the state convention
in May, and seeks to justify his vote
thereby. In the face OF the plank
above quoted, his attempted justifica-
ton is the flimsiest OF flimsy excuses.
In the face Of the numerous petitions
sent to the senator from his constitu-
ents his attempted justification Is the
weakest Of weak apologies.
He refers to the plank in the state
platform, but the senator or any one
else cannot show one word in the state
platform which precIudes legislative
extension OF suffrage to women. Even
had It undertaken to do SO, the demo-
coatic convention Of Tennessee, as
great as it was in Senator Caldwell's
estimation, was not 90 diyinely SUI

THE SOUL OF a BOY

The soul OF boy is wondrous thing,
"A hayward weaving Of light and
shade;
Tender, yet strong as sea-bird g wing,
True as the steel of soldiers blade.
Wide.eyed, he asketh of sun and star,
The mystic lore Of their time and
place,
The world-old questions of things that
are,
Whose answers hide in the bounds OF
space.
In the hush OF night there came to
him dreams
That are pure and clean, like the
heart OF him;
The silver silence OF woods andstreams
Grows into his soul, and is part OF
him.
The star-set spaces OF God are home
TO his wistful, wandering, daring
feet;
There are unheard voices that bid him
come
And taste Of pleasures unnamed and
sweet.
The soul OF boy-it wonders wide
In far, strange lands where we may
not go;
Dear angels, follow his path beside
\. And keep him safe from the rocks
below.
Q earth, be kind to the hopes of him
And keep them free from the wrong
that scars;
O heaven, gather the dreams OF him
For rich fulfllment beyond the star!

The Home Merchants Service.

The home store is one Of the conVen-
fences and public services of the
town. A place may have good streets,
schools and lights, yet If its stores
are behind the game, the whole COM
munity suffers. The public is incon-
venienced and put to serious expense
to supply itself with necessaries.
There are some people who always
patronize distant stores for all i'm
portant purchases, But in an emer-
gency they run to the home store with
some trifling order. Then they blame
the merchant if he does not have as
complete stock as metropolitan
store would carry.
:" Such people are not doing their
share to build up their home commun-
ity. They are pursuing policy which
if adopted by everyone would affect
valuation of all real estate and impair
the facilities for good community l1V-
ing. The merchant can do his share
toward making this an up to date town

his talks alone are worth much to all
