EXTRA SESSION OF
CONGRESS in SPRING

Washington, Jan. 26.-An extra
session Of Congress next spring now
seems certain, in the view of both
Democratic and Republican leaders.
Managers Of both parties said tonight
they did not believe it would be pos
sible to pass all pressing legislation
before the expiration of this Con-
gress on March A. Most leaders be-
lieve the new session will begin in
May.
Only six Of the IS regular supply
bills have been passed by the House
and none by the Senate. Besides
the regular appropriation measures,
several special money bills, includ-
ing the new deficiency measure and
the S750,000,000 request of the rail
road administration, await action.
Much general legislation also is
on the calendars, with the railroads,
unemployment, naval program and
other questions being pressed for So
luton. International affairs also
are receiving much attention by the
Senate and additional addresses on
matters connected with the peace con-
ference are replanned for this week.
Speakers will include Senator's Hitch
cock, of Nebraska, chairman of the
foreign relations committee, in favor
of a league of nations.

sessment Of Taxes.

A special from Nashville to the
Memphis Commercial Appeal, dated
January "a, says:
Governor Roberts affixed his sig
nature to Senate Bills No. n and 78

pei equal assessments, while the 9TH
er fixes the tax rate for state pur-
poses on sliding scale-as the to-
tai assessment in the state increases
the tax automatically decreases.
The third Of the administration

which is shown as the corporation
measure, as it proposes method
Of reaching property of corporations
doing business in Tennessee which in
the past have avoided their full share
in some instances, or else have not
borne any of the burden, will be
given public hearing Tuesday
evening.
The administration bill providing
for life Imprisonment in first degree
murder convictions where there are
mitigating circumstances, passed
third and final reading in the Senate

pressed in French official circles that
the preliminaries for peace viii lie
finished and ready for submission to
the French chamber between March

TO THIRTIETH DIVISION

Chattanooga, Tenn, Jan, 25.-The
Thirtieth Division, composed of Ten

national guardsmen, which left home
known as the "Old Hickory" division

to be called also the wildcat" divis-
ion berause the British, with whom

ed Of national army men from the
same states as TIE Thirtieth, chose
wildcat as It's unofficial title after
the famous wildcat" road from CO.
lumbia to Camp Jackson, S. c., where
the Eighty-first trained, and some
confusion has arisen among the
admirers of the two divisions. The
war department records, however,
which recognize officially only one
division nickname, that Of the Grain
bow show the Thirtieth unofficially
listed as both "Old Hickory" and
Wildcat" The "Rainbow" is the
Forty-second, also national guard
Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig
gave the Thirtieth much credit for
smashing the supposedly invincible
line, and the division was
several times in the British
official statements for it's dash and
bravery. The Tommies termed their
American comrades "hellcats" and
wildcats" said Capt. LiIlard, who

ROBERTS RECOMMENDS THAT
CONNECTS BE EMPLOYED

A special from Nashville to the
Memphis Scimitar under date of JAM
|uary "a, says:
Gov. Roberts addressed special
message to the general assembly to-
day on the subject of the employment
of the state convicts. He pointed
out the fact that there are now 600
convicts employed under the lease
system and recommended that imme-
date employment be given the 300
unemployed prisoners here. The gov
ernor suggests that the state employ
them in its own manufacturing en-
terprises or allow them to be en-
ployed in private enterprises estab-
lished within the prison. which will
furnish machinery and material and
pay the state on piece contract
or on a contract where a stipulated
wage is paid per day for labor
He showed that there is now room
for 200 additional convicts at Brushy
Mountain mines and they can also
be used on the state farms Of three,
four or five acres. For this latter
work he suggested the short-term
prisoners. These are also suggested
for the work Of cutting the timber
from the Brushy Mountain tract.
The governor recommended the APP
pointment of a special committee
at once to investigate and report on
those lines of labor in which the cor
victs can best be employed; what
form of contract is advisable to
adopt and other matters pertinent
to the subject. He urged immediate
action.

MRS. PATTIS0N CELEBRATES
SEVENTY-FIFTH BIRTHDAl

A genial and happy company was
that which met in the hospitable
home of Mr.. and Miss Cummins on
Monday evening to do honor to Mrs.
Anna w. Pattison in anticipation of
her seventy-fifth birthday on Tues
day, the 28th. All her resident neph-
ews and nieces were present, also
Mrs. George D. Holmes, her sister
in-law, Miss Lucille Fowler, a mem
Der Of Mrs. Boals' family, and tine
beloved pastor, DIR. Walker.
To receive the guests the honoree
stood in line with her four nephews,
Messrs. Cummins, Holmes, McNeely
and Hall, while Just in front stood
her reat-great-nephew, Henry Moul-
ton Glib. Much pleasure, as we'll
as amusement, was afforded by old
photos of members of the connec-
ton, recalling "reminiscences Of the
Aud Lang Syne, to say nothing of
the ludicrous styles of dress, head
gear, etc, of the past.
The old daguerreotypes Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Peter anWagenen, of Newark,
N. j., grandparents of Mrs Pattison,
were brought forth from the family
inspiring the younger mem
bers of the family to emulate the
virtues and strong, sturdy qualities
depicted in the faces of these ances-
tors. Another feature of the eve
ning's entertainment which caused
much merriment was a picture con-
test cleverly arranged by the hosts,
in which the characteristics of those
present were limited at in combina-
ton of pictures.
Later in the evening delightful
menu Of two courses was served,
but before seating themselves at
the tables all united in singing
'Praise God From Whom All Bless
ings Flow"
Thus was spent an evening long to
be remembered; and at its close DR..
Walker conducted a little service,
'eading from the Beatitudes, "Bless-
I'd are the pure in heart" which it
s not necessary to say all present
applied to the dear auntie whose /
beautiful life has been and is
blessing.
In his closing prayer the doctor
INVOKED Gods richest blessings on
Ter, and offered petitions not only +
or all present, but for the absent T
descendants of Rev. and /
Mrs. James Holmes, who number
.ighty-four, and are scattered over
en- states of the Union, and three
re serving their country in France.
