We understand that those who
oppose the forming of the drain
age district did not perfect their
appeal from the decision of Judge
Lancaster. The time for an ap-
peal to be taken expired last Mon
day night. What their future &C.
tions will be we cannot say. The
drainage people, we presume, will
soon have a board of assessors APP
pointed, advertise for bids, and
proceed with the details incident
to letting the contract. We have
not learned why the appeal was
not taken, and whether or not
other action will be taken to pre-
vent the digging of the ditch.

ACCIDENTLY SHOT
Gerald DOwdy Seriously Wounded
Saturday Afternoon

Gerald Dowdy, 9-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. e. H. Dowdy,
suffered very painful and serious
accident last Saturday afternoon,
when he accidently shot himself
with a small target rifle. He was
at the barn alone and had been
shooting English sparrows. In an
effort to cross a fence the rifle was
accidently discharged. The ball
entered just above the breastbone
and passing under the collarbone,
cut a small artery. The ball lodged
in the posterior triangle of the
neck to the right of the spinal
column.
The little fellow walked to the
house and told his mother of what
had happened, falling in her lap.
DIR. B. G. Dodds was called, and ex-
amined and treated the wound.
He was carried to Nashville Sun
day, where an X.ray examination
was made. He was placed in az
infrmary for treatment, and latest
reports we're favorable for his re-
coved, although the wound was
considered very serious.

was. So | asked Senator Burton
to introduce the same amendment
to apply to Carroll county only.
The amendment to the state law
land the one / asked Senator Bur.
ton to introduce, required 60 per
cent of the landowners tor favor
the drainage before you could
bond their property.
And, l believe, it should have
passed. Any law that allows a
few to bond other peoples prop
erty is vicious and against our
form Of government, and should
be repealed or amended, otherwise
our boosted government "Of the
people, by the people, for the peo-
ple," is farce.
In our travels we have found a
few in drainage districts that were
benefited, we have found others
that could not say, and a few that
it broke up. | hope it will benefit
Carroll county citizens much more
than it cost, but believe lisa ques-
ton that should be put to the peo-
pie for final decision, as all ques-
tions of bonded debt should be.
With our county plastered with
drainage bonds, road bonds and
our tax rate increasing, we will
soon reach the limit of endurance.

PRESBYTERY in SESSION
Cumberland PresbyterianS in
Meeting In Camden

Hopewel Presbytery of the

The session opened Tuesday morn
ing at II o'clock, being called to
order by the stated clerk, Rev. II.
H. Jackson, of Sharon The open
ing sermon was preached by Rev.
}. w. Dishman, of Mckenzie.
The afternoon of the first day
was spent in the organization of
the presbytery for work, receiving
communications, ETC., until g
O'Clock, when an opportunity was
given persons to discuss with the
presbytery calls to preach. The
evening services consisted of SER
mon and the transaction of pres
byterial business.
The meeting was we'll attended
and the reports from the churches
we're very satisfactory.
Hopewell presbytery was organ

bers were William Barnett, Rich
ard Beard, Samuel Harris and
John G. Smith. The first meeting
of the presbytery was held at Nc
LemOresville, in Carroll county.
1t embraced the following counties:
Benton, Henry, Carroll, Weakley
and a part of Gibson east of the
NJ. 6 0. railroad, having coded a
large part of its territory to what
is now Obion presbYtery. Soon
after its organization Hopewell
presbytery became one of the
strongest in the church and re-
NAMED so until a part of the ter
ritory was given Obion presbytery,
and it continued a strong presby-
terry until 1906, when it lost some
of its ministers and a few of its
churches by the union effort.
In the year 1912 |. G. Var
brough, F. G. McElyea, John Nc
Gill, Columbus Hill and others pc
titioned Hopewell presbytery of
the Cumberland Presbyterian
church for the organization of a
congregation in Camden, and the
petition was granted. The early

Rye, being one of the elders and
one of the most beloved men who
ever lived in Camden.

Senator Joe H. Mccall, and only
effected this county and perhaps
Weakley county. 1t was claimed
by the friends of the drainage that
the bill, if passed, would result in
stopping the work in this county,
and that that was really the object
of the bill"
