FAST DRIVING
MUST CEASE

Careless auto drivers and those
wild beIEgs in motor cars that
have no regard for the lives OF
others are commencing to feel the.
wrath of an outraged public.
Marshal p. Melton made an ar
rest Friday for speeding. This is
his first arrest, and the Marshal
wants it thoroughly understood
that he proposes to enforce the
ordinance against speeding within
the corporate limits of Camden.
Some motorists seem to pay lit
tie or no attention to the regula-
tions governing the use of motor
cars. According to report n lady
had narrow escape from mortor
car on North Main Street one day
last week.
The southwest corner of court
square is probably the most dam
gerous crossings in town. Several
accidents, we understand, have
been narrowly averted recently at
this crossing because the driver
failed to. sound horn or slow down
when approaching the crossing.
Ten miles is the speed limit in
Camden. Marshal Melton wants
the cooperation Of all citizens in
reporting cases of fast, wreckless
driving, pulling in front of other
cars, passing other vehicles to the
left, failure to signal change of
direction, starting from one point
or curb without giving notice, rear
or front lights out, failure to sig
nal or slow down whom approach
lug crossing or not stopping after
accident occurs.

Road Bond Election Wednesday September 10
BALLOTS FOR WOMEN.

Tennessee women have won their
fight for the ballot. The Supreme
Court at Nashville Saturday up,
held the 1919 suffrage act giving
women the privilege of voting In
all Presidential and municipal
elections, all that was asked by the
General Assembly and all that
could be granted under the Con-
stitution of Tennessee.
The victory of the women is
complete. 1t is more than COM
plete, if that can be possible, for
they get the ballot without the re-
striction Of q poll tax payment to
exercise it.
The act did not contemplate that
they should take part in the cleo
tion of State and county officers
because the choosing of these Off
GERS is confined to the male voters
of the State by the Constitution.
The opinion of the court was
delivered by Justice Greene. 1t
was concurred in by all members
of the Supreme Court except JUS
tice Baehman of Chattanooga.

The greatest danger that con-

law and combines of men to violate
