saders will also arge the produc-
ton of these crops for which each
county is peculiarly adapted. For
instance, in Hardeman and Fay
cite counties, the speakers will dis
cuss the production of cotton under
boil weeyil conditions, while in
the grain and grass counties, they
will hammer on feed and food
crops,
In addition to the representa-
tives from the federal and state
agricultural departments, there will
be representatives from Mississippi
and Arkansas.
Wednesday, February 81, is the
date fixed for this company to visit
Carroll county. They will fill
number of appointments in the
county, and they very likely eX-
pect the people of the county, far
mers and business men, to see that
they are properly entertained while
here, and conveyed to and from
their appointments.

LEGISLATURE RECESSES
Will Reconvene to Finish Work
of Session February 20

The General Assembly of Ten
+. nessee recessed last Saturday after
noon until Monday, February 26.
Thirty four days of the biennial
session of seventy-fve days had
elapsed when the recess was taken,
leaving forty.one days of the six
tieth session yet remaining.
The assembly has passed and en-
acted into laws sixty-nine meas
ures, sixteen public acts and fifty
three private acts. The most i'm
portant of these are the prohibi-
ton bills. The anti-pass act had
passed both houses, but the house
tackled on so many amendments
the bill will have to go to confer
ence. 1t is very probable that the
bill will fail to become a law.
A number of Investigating com
mittees were appointed that vii!
hold sessions during recess These
committees will meet at the CAPT
toll, but were not provided with a
horde of secretaries, porters, SER
geant-at- arms, etc, as was the Gus
tom in the past.
Before the recess was taken both
houses passed resolutions of conf
dence in PresideAt Wilson, with
expressions of sympathy in his try
ing ordeal and pledging him the
loyal support of the state and all
its people. The chaplaIns of both
houses, in their inyocations, re-
ferred to the trials confronting the
country and its officials, and in
voked divine guidance and protec-
ton of the president and the peo-
pie.

AGRICULTURAL CAMPAIGN
Efforts TO Induce Farmers to
Raise Better Stock

Supreme efforts to induce West
Tennessee farmers to raise pure
bred live stock and otherwise to
point the way to more profitable
farming will be made February 10
to q in a campaign, which has
been planned by representatives of
the agricultural extension depart
ment of the University of Tennes-
see, and leaders in the farm de-
velopment bureau in the Business
Mems Club and Chamber of Com
merce of Memphis.
The campaign will cover every
nook and corner of the twenty-one
counties in West Tennessee. Fed
eral, state, county and city agricul-
tural forces, cooperating with
business men, bankers and prac-
teal farmers, will carry the better
farming propaganda to the men
and women who live in rural COM
munities.
Primarily it will be a live stock
campaign. West Tennessee far
mers are rolling in wealth this
year and rs a result of bountiful
crops lest season, aud interest in
better live stock already has been
aroused. The campaigners hope
to increase this interest to such an
extent that foundation herd will
be established an every farm.

FREAKISH WEATHER
This Community Being Hit Hard
This Winter

During the last two weeks we
have experienced quite a variety
of weather, presenting conditions
more or less of the freakish ma
ture. We have had rain, sleet
and snow, and with it all some
very cold weather.
At this writing, Tuesday after
noon, We are slowly recovering
from the effects of what must have
been the worst jolt of the winter.
1t came Sunday afternoon in the
form of a snow and wind storm.
making those who happened to be
out take to shelter. The binding
clouds Of dust and snow made
travel almost impossible. Friday
was extremely cold, warming up
slightly Saturday but hit hard
Sunday. Monday was still cold
and now, as we write, the sun is
playing hide and seek from behind
clouds more or less angry which
we fear portends no good.
The cold wave was general, all
the southern states being affected.

Donation of Relics

A valuable donation has come to
the department of geology from DR.
j. w. Mccall, of Huntingdon, in
the shape Of a collection of Indian
relics and curiosities that includes
many valuable specimens. Among
the relics are 10 stone axes, )
corn grinders and about 200 arrow
heads. The collection represents
many years OF expert and patient
research. The new collection will
be put on exhibition in the Thurs
ton Museum in college hall.
The Democrat failed to notice
the above when it appeared in a
recent issue of the Nashville Ban
ner. Dir. Mccall, always a stu
dent, has spent much time gather
ing and caring for relics and odd
specimens along many lines of re-
search. His Office, for a long time,
was almost museum, and bis
friends always found interest in
visiting his Office and hearing him
explain the many interesting relics
kept there

SUFFRAGE DEFEATED
Passed the House but Suffered
Defeat in Senate

The suffrage bill, granting par
tial suffrage to the women of Ten
nessee, after passing the house
with votes to spare, was killed in
the senate Thursday of last week,
which will put an end to the suf-
frage question as an issue during
the present session of the legisla-
ture. The senate vote was 30 to
J3 against the bill.
A strong effort was made to Sc
cure the passage of this bill. The
weight of Mr.. BrSan's magnetic
influence was thrown into the fight.
The consideration Of the bill was
staged while the State Woman's
Suffrage League was in session in
Nashville, and many influences
were brought to bear upon the
members of the senate, but to no
avail.
The bill, if it had become law,
would have been only granting the
women the right to vote in mum
cipal elections and in presidential
elections. They could not have
voted in state, county and con-
gressioaal races, but it would have
been step toward complete suf-
frage and a great victory for the
women.
