Aiming at the development of
the community spirit through the

nurses and the enrolling of the

A negro KILLED
shot AT FISH FRY
VIII Parish is Shot and Killed
by Bob Haley in a
Drunken BrawI

The Lavinia community, in the
First district of this county, was
the scene of a killing last Saturday
night. Will Parish was shot and
killed by Bob Haley, both colored,
in a drunken row at a negro fish
fry.
The particulars of the trouble
leading up to the killing are a
little hard to get. The negroes of
the community had gathered for a
fish fry, and we understand, shoot
ing craps and whisky drinking
were side lines to the entertain.
ment, but these had much to do
with the touble that resulted in the
taking of Will Parish's life.
HALEY was drunk and claims that
he does not know anything about
how it all happened. Shortly
after the killing be turned his
pistol over to friend claiming it
was still loaded, but it was empty.
He was arrested and brought to
Huntingdon and placed in Jail.
Haley shot four times, two
shots taking effect, and Parish was
killed instantly. The murdered
man is about 81 years old, and
Haley is about 45. There we're six
witnesses to the killing and the
facts will be brought before the

BOOTLEGGER ARRESTED
CAUGHT With GOODS
ODE Woodson is Arrested and
Placed in Jail for Trans
porting Whisky

Officer B. F. Mccoy, of the
Twentieth district, made a splen-
did catch one night last week.
Having been informed that a party
was making his way toward ada
cent districts, where, it is claimed,
whisky can be had for the asking,
provided the request is accompan-
led with the cash, Mr.. Mccoy lay
in wait for him with the hope of
taking him in on his return trip.
After some waiting ODE Wood
son, colored, drove leisurly into
Whitthorne in a buggy. He was
the man the officer was waiting for,
and upon searching his buggy Mr..
Mccoy found one gallon and a
half of the real stuff. The whisky
vendor and bis stock of booze was
taken in charge and turned over to
the sheriff. Woodson is in Jail
awaiting the action of the grand
jury.
U. L. McLemore and Ornie
Bray were with Mr.. Mccoy when
the arrest was made. Woodson
refused to tell where he secured
the whisky, but talked freely about
the price paid. He says the gal
Ion and half cost him SOL. 1t Is
claimed that bootleggers take this
stuff, doctor it by adding water
and other ingredients, and sell it
at from So to S. a pint. 1t is
thought Woodson was intending
to take this supply to Trenton,
where he would have had no
trouble in disposing of it. Wood
son lives in the Twentieth district.

Rail WAYS TO RETURN
TO OWNERS HANDS
Plans Being Worked Out to
Deliver Roads Back to
Owners January l

Despite the tangled status of
railroad legislation ia congress,
plans for returning the railways to
their private owners on January
l are going steadily ahead, it was
learned at the railroad admins
tration Tuesday.
Officials of the administration
said that they were making their
plans in accordance with the state
ment of the president in his mes
sage to congress on May 20 that
the railroads would be returned at
the first of the next calendar year.
Director General Hines has pub
licly expressed his belief that fed
eral control will cease on jan
urary l.
At the White House it was stated
that the president has the power
to turn the roads back without
further legislation by congress, al
though such legislation is highly
desirable.
Railroad administration officials
are steadily clearing their desks in
order to carry out the presidents
poposed program. Pending dis
putes with employees on the ques-
tions of wages, working hours, etc,
are confidently expected to be adj
justed by December 1. 1t is the
opinion in both railroad admins
tration and White House circles
that the roads will be turned back
to private ownership on january
/, regardless of what congress may
of may not do in the matter of
legislation.

10 Tennessee in 1918. Rigid ia,
vestigatiou of health conditions in
various cities have shown that for
every person who die, eight are
left seriously infected with the
scourge so that in Tennessee more
the $4,000 are sick.
When Governor Roberts was
confronted with this report and
the program of the Tennessee
Anti tuberculosis Association, he
accepted the chairmanship of the
December drive of the society for
funds to carry on this work dur
sanitoria where the disease can be
treated. Travelling medical clinics
are a necessity. There are not
enough open-air schools where in
fected children can be segregated
and cured. More public health
nurses are required to arouse the
communities to the peril of this
plague. And since the program
of the Tennessee Anti tuberculosis
Association includes all these things
we are glad to endorse it.

BANKS OF COUNTY
SHOW BIG DEPOSITS
Heavy Deposits in Banks and
Big Real Estate Deals
Show Prosperity

One of the strong evidences of
the prosperous condition Of the
people of Carroll county is found
in the large deposits of money in
the banks of the county. Finan-
cial statements recently published
show larger sums on deposit than
at any time in the past. There
are ten banks doing business in the
county and the aggregate of the
deposits in these banks on the 18th
day of September was $1,516,-
016.44.
This sum will likely be greatly
augmented when the fall crop is
harvested, sold and the money
placed on deposit. The high prices
being received for cotton and other
farm products Will greatly increase
the wealth of the county.
The activity 10 real estate is an
other evidence of prosperity.
Farmers are buying homes and
paying big prices for them, a
thing that could not be done if the
people we're not flush With money.

men and women spend Saturday
nights and Sundays in debauchery

We hope there are no such places
and no such conditions. But it is
a fact that such charges are being
made, and the reports, whether
true or not, are hurting the county.
If true, the grand jury, now in
session, should be Informed. and,
if possible, should bring the guilty
into court and to trial.
Judge Harwood, in his charge
to the grand jury Monday, said
that it was being currently re-
ported in adjoining counties that
all the whisky wanted could be Sc
cured in Carroll county. The
judge charged the jury to look
into the matter.
1t is common talk on the streets.
especially by the knowing ones,
that there are a number of illicit
distilieries being operated in the
eastern portion of this county, and
in that portion of the Sixth and
Seventh districts along the Hen
derson county line. 1t is charged
that in that portion Of Henderson
county and in the Sixth and Sew
enth districts of this county ad-
joining Henderson, is the gather
ing point referred to above
1t is claimed that bootleggers in
adjacent counties and from near by
towns make nightly visits to these
whisky centers for supplies, and
that land-office business is being
done IN the sale of the Carroll
county stuff.
