SUFFRAGE VALID
DECLARES STATES
HIGHEST COURT
ACT PERMITS THEM TO VOTE IN
PRESIDENTIAL AND MUNICH
PAL ELECTIONS.
MAY VOTE HERE IN OCTOBER
Decision of Chancellor Newman of
Nashville, Who Held Act Void Be-
cause of Its Patent Defects, Over
ruled by Supreme Court.

Special to The Herald
NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 26.-Re.
versing the opinion of Chancellor
Newman, the supreme court today
held constitutional the act of the leg
islature of 1919 comforting limited suf-
frage upon the women of Tennessee.
Under the decision of the supreme
court the women may now vote in all
presidential and municipal elections.
The woman's suffrage act was at
tackled by number of citizens in the
chancery court of Davidson county
upon various grounds, principally for
the reason that no provision whatever
was made in the act for the actual ex-
ercise of the suffrage. The legisla,
ture virtually confessed that the act
was void and it sought to remedy the
defects by joint resolution, but the
chancellor held that law could not
be changer or made valid by a mere
resolution, an opinion, however, in
which the supreme court did not ap-
parently concur
General surprise was expressed
among lawyers over the result of the
case as it had been generally expected
that the act would be held void be,
cause of it's many patent defects
Women will now vote for all munic-
ipal officers, be eligible to all munich
pal offices and in 1920 will vote in the
presidential election.
Just how the women are to vote the
Australian ballot and vonfine their
votes alone to presidential electors
while all other voters may vote the
entire ticket is not explained.

THREE FROM DIMPLE
IN MEXICAN WATERS
BUT NOT THOUGHT THAT SAIL
ORS FROM HERE WERE IN
.- PARTY ATTACKED. VA.

Three Maury county boys were on
the Cheyenne, the American naval
vessel in Mexican waters whose crew
was attacked while on shore and rob-
bed. They are Flavius Looney, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. C. T. Looney, son
of Steven Church and also a son of
Rev. John e. Hight. They were not
in the party attacked so far as is
known here and it is assumed that
if they had been some information to
that effect would have been received
by their parents. However, Flavius
Looney is assistant paymaster of the
ship and in the discharge of his duty
he must anchor to purchase supplies.

TWELVE HUNDRED
PAY ROAD TAXES
COMPUTATION MONEY COLLECT.
ED BY THE TRUSTEE AMOUNTS
TO $4,000.

More than $4,000 has been collected
by the county trustee in road commu.
tation taxes. Something over 1890
of the road hands of the county have
paid this IS Communication tax and the
collections are many times larger than
they have ever been for the same pc.
riod, but there are hundreds who
have not yet paid However, many of
the taxpayers of the county will work
out their Communication on the roads
They have been accustomed to do this
and give really more in labor than
the tax amounts to.
1t has also been customary in the
past to pay the tax in the fall and
collections during September are gen.
orally larger than any other month.
For this reason the trustee is not
enforcing any penalty and will not
for some time yet. He takes the posi-
ton that to do so would work an un.
necessary hardship. Notice will be
given in plenty of time of the expi.
ration of the days of grace so that
every one will have an opportunity to
pay without loss.
