in an editoriol under the caption "The

"a careful reading of the opinion
shows that the Supreme Court Of
the people that the women from now

shall have equal opportunity with
men and equal privilege"
If Editor Mooney means to sag
that the people Of Tennessee-or the
people of the whole South for that
matter-fsvor woman suffrage, then
Mr.. Mooney is either honestly igno-
rant, misled by his own poor Judge

Auto Ditched In
Deep Water.

On Thursday night Of last week or
in the dark hours Of last Friday
morning. an automobile headed this
WY instessi Of swerving to the right
md crossinS the 1elnrofsry bridge
1|@ tb6 6x6al VI the Ievee 1t Braz-
ocI Branch, three miles or less West
of Lexington, ran straight on few
feet and went "kerslosh' into the wa
ter Of perhaps six feet depth, where
the branch runs through the break in
the levee--which break was caused
by the big flood of last March.
The car was said to contain Bob
CAN'T, one of the Gunter boys, of the
Second district, and another man
named Brewer, of Gibson county.
Friday morning Calvin Hunter and
Joe Webb were procured to get the
car out of the water and in the work
they were assisted by the occupants
Of the car except CAN'T, who being
wanted at Lexington on the charge
Of selling liquor, made his escape.
CAN'T, by the way, went to an army
camp, leaving standing against him
two bills for alleged unlawful sale Of
liquor, and when he returned he put
up $500 cash forfeit for his appear
ance at the February term of the
Circuit court. He made his appear
ance, was tried and convicted and
sentenced to serve four months on the
county roads from which he made his
escape 1s days after commencing the
work. He seems to have left the
country for while, but later return
ed to the field Of his former alleged
operations in the Western part Of the
county.
In extracting the car, bottles Of
whisky were found in the water and
about the car we are informed. Sher-
iff Wright went out last Saturday
and had brought in the car, which
had been extracted from the Brazeel
branch, and 1t is understood that un-
der a new law the car will be con-
fiscated If there is sufficient evidence
that it was being used to unlawfully
convey whisky.
Calvin Hunter admits that he help
ed pull the car out Of the ditch but
says that he saw no whisky.
Bad luck seems to have followed
Bob CAN'T, for on last Sunday night,
while Sheriff Wright of this county,
and Sheriff Freeman, Of Chester
county, were on the lookout for CAN'T
they ran across him. with q party in
an auto, just over the Chester line,
and while CAN'T made his escape, the
car was taken in charge and carried
to Henderson by Sheriff Freeman.
The determined efforts being made
by Sheriff Wright to break up the
illicit sale of liquor in Henderson
county, is to be commended by all
good citizens and it is to be hoped
that the sheriff will use his best
judgment in attempting to apprehend

Natalie won the second by a short neck from Mr Dudley in 2:10, the fastest heat by 2-year-old tretter this year. In the final heat the Thomas entry was only nose in front of Mir.

started few solid jolts and most of those he did shoot at his opponent went wild.
 In fact, Wolgast did not appear in nearly as good condition yesterday as he did three or four days ago. His wind didn't seem as good and he did, mt work as fast in the ring
 This may be due to the fact. how ever, that Hobo Dougherty, his trainer. permitted him to eat a quantity of ice cream before starting his work. Ice cream isn't justly exactly the best nourishment in the world for boxer.
 Likewise, Wolgast forewent his road work Tuesday morning, and this may have resulted in his apparent slow ness. Another attributing factor may have been his desire to go easy with his training partners many of whom he has adoughed up' since coming to Phoenix

Royal family, may be said to form
the basis of yankee Doodle In Ber-
lin," the five part Mack Sennett
comedy which comes to the Grand to-

Sennett, whose fame as producer
of comedies Is world wide, refuses to
be hampered by the restraining In
fluences which have been in evidence
in other efforts to present on the
screen the comic side of the former
kaiser's egotism. Custard pies are
custard pies, to him, and their place
in comedies, is the face Of the hapless
butt whose misfortunes wiring laugh
ter from the optience. 49,
In addition to Yankee Doodle In
Berlin the famous Sennett Bathing
Peauties will appear in person and
show beyond doubt that such beauty
does exist in the flesh as we'll as In
the films. These young women come
direct from the Sennett studios in
Califor~ia and not the least OF their
charm is due to the fact that none OF
them, before this tour, has appeared
professionally except in the. Sennett
studios.
