TREATY WITH FRANCE
Document Transmitted to U. S.
Senate BY President

President Wilson Tuesday trans
mitted to the Senate the treaty be-
tween the United States and France
for military aid for France in case Of
.unprovoked attack by Germany.
President Wilson's message accom-
panying the Franco-American treaty
follows:
Gentlemen of the Senate: | take
pleasure in laying before you treaty
with the republic of France, the OBJ
ject of which is to secure that re-
public Of the immediate aid of the
United States of America in case of
any unproyoked movement of aggres-
sion against her on the part Of Ger
many. earnestly hope that this
treaty will meet with your cordial
approval and will receive an early
ratification at your hands, along with
the treaty Of peace with Germany.
"Now that you have had an oppor-
tunity to examine the great document
/ presented to you two weeks ago, it
seems opportune to lay before you
this treaty which is meant to be in
effect a part of it.
1T was signed on the same day with
the treaty of peace and is intended
as temporary supplement to it. It
is believed that the treaty of peace
with Germany itself provides ade-
Quate protection of France against
aggression from her recent enemy on
the east; but the years Immediately
ahead of us contain many incalculable
possibilities. The covenant of the
league of nations provides for mill
tary action for the protection of its
members only upon advice of the
council of the league-adyice given,
it is to be presumed, only upon deli
beration and acted upon by each of
the governments of the member states
only if its own judgement justifes
such action.
"The object of the special treaty
with France which | now submit to
you is to provide for immediate mill
tary assistance to France by the
United States in case Of any unpro-
voked movement Of aggression against
her by Germany without waiting for
the advice of the council of the league
of nations that such action Be taken.
1t is to be an arrangement not indie
pendent of the league of nations, but
under it.
1t is, therefore, expressly provid-

SCHOOL PRINCIPAL here
Prof. D. w. Moody Heads Hunt
ingdOn High School

Some weeks ago the Democrat
announced the fact that j. M.
Cholson had been secured as the
head of the Huntingdon High
School. Some misunderstanding
arose and the deal was declared off.
The board of education has since
secured the service of Prof. w.
D. Moody of Cookyille. Mr.,
Moody came in this week to look
over the situation and take up his
work as principal of the school.
He has the appearance of being
fine young man and highly recon-
mended as a school man. Prof.
A. $. Weston and Mrs. Love
Hawkins Mebane have also been
secured as members Of the faculty.
Other members will be elected
later.
AT the meeting of the board Of
education Tuesday night the resig-
nations of G. NJ. Watson and Neill
Wright were accepted and DIR. B.
q. Dodds and |. Writ Evans were
elected in their places. The mem
bers quit the board, not because
of any friction, but because they
were also members of the board
of aldermen and they thought the
two boards should not be composed
of so nearly the same members.
1t is likely DIR. Dodds will be made
president of the board and Mr..
Evans may be induced to accept
the secretary's place.

LAW SUSTAINED
Supreme Court Says Women Have
Right to Vote

The supreme court last Satur-
day handed down an opinion sus-
tanning as constitutions ! the law
enacted by the recent legislature
granting limited franchise to the
women of the state.
The law. had been attacked and
declared unconstitutional by the
courts Of Davidson county, and
the case was heard and passed upon
by the supreme court of the state
Under the law the women of
the state will be permitted to
vote in elections for municipal
officials and presidential electors.
It does not, however, provide for
separate ballot boxes for the wom-
en- in elections where there are
other candidates than those the
women are qualified to vote for,
and there is no provision for wom-
en- paying poll tax.
!. 1t is a great victory for the
splendid organization of women
who have struggled brayely and
long, and there is every reason tc
beliexe that they will add a whole
some tone to future political con,
tests,

Gets Life Term

John Mathews, charged with
killing Elmer Moore at New Bos-
ton in Henry county, May 10, was
tried in the circuit court at Paris
last week and found guilty, aud his
punishment was fixed at a life term
in the penitentiary. There was
much feeling over the tragedy and
Mathews at the time was brought
here and placed in Jail for safe
keeping. Mathews shot Moore
after some words because Moore
did not give the road to Mathews
as promptly as be thought he
should. Mathews was in an auto
mobile and Moore in a wagon
loaded with freight.

VgT OF dRlS
cottOu Conditions Bad and Much
Below Normal

Reports sent in BY correspond.
ents OF The Commercial Appeal
indicate that the condition Of the
cotton crop as OF July 20, 1919,
was $3.50 per cent of normal. This
compares with a condition Of Is 2
per cant at June 20, and 79.0 per
cent at the close of the eud-July
period in 1918.
The condition figure indicate a
yield Of 100000 bales, subject
to conditions to the end of the sea-
son.
This report is based upon cor
respondence covering in detail 782
counties included in the ten prin-
clpal cotton producing states.
Ia Tennessee cotton made good
growth, and cultivation progressed
satisfactorily, but crop is unusu-
ally late, and is suffering from
having remained in the grass too
long. Fields now are mostly clean,
and the plant while small is fruit
ing well. Few farmers have fn-
ished work, but laying by is well
under way. Plant healthy looking
and has good tap root. No dam
age from insects. Lateness of crop
general complaint, and many far
mers complain of poor stands.
Scarcity of labor has been draw
back. Conditions 70 per cent of a
normal.
The report from Carroll county
says: On account of favorable
weather conditions cotton growing
nicely and fruiting we'll. The far
mers have at last COTTON their fields
clean in spite of the scarcity of la
Dor and too much moisture 10 the
early season. The field conditions
are not SO good as last year. There
are no insect pests. The plants
are healthy and strong just SIM
ply late, which in the event Of an
early frost would mean short
crop. The whole condition is go
ing to be a little off.

Needing Rain

At this writing, Wednesday.
there is a growing need of rain in
most Of the sections of Carroll
county. The late corn is the de-
pendance to large degree for a
crop, as the early corn is not
much account, and it is gong to
take great deal of moisture and
late fall to get the best results
from this crop. A good general
rain within the next few days
would be a great help to the grow
ing crops, both corn and cotton.
The weather reports do not give
out much hope for general rain
soon.

STRIFE N cHNa6O
MaUy Lives Taken In Clash Be-
tween Whites and Negroes

Negroes went on rampage in Chi
cage Sunday and sent volley of shots
at group Of whites. One white wo-
man was injured, but not fatally.
The negroes were overtaken after a
long chase and placed under arrest.
Shortly afterward a mob Of several
hundred blacks formed and began to
stone policeman. Gun fire was open
ed and four Of the negroes fell, all
!. mortally wounded.
A white man in the same neighbor-
hood was dragged from a truck and
stabbed to death.
Scores of arrests were made, but
where the rioters were found to be
unarmed they were released.
Negroes began footing stores of
whites in the district shortly after
the firing Of revolvers by a squad
Of policemen in an effort to break up
a fight over a small purchase Of gro
ceries. The police soon emptied their
guns, bat the looting continued until
a special squad Of police, armed with
rifles arrived. They fired low, fell
ing half dozen blacks.
A white woman was pulled from a
street car by negro. He was soon
lying unconscious against the curb,
where angry white men left him for
dead.
Groups Of blacks formed in foot
ball fashion and charged against the
whites with razors and clubs. On one
corner the scene was like a miniature
battle ground. Unconscious negroes
and whites dotted the streets.
During Sunday night the trouble
continued and was renewed Monday
night. No less than twenty-five peo-
pie, whites and blacks had been killed
and several hundred wounded, Four
thousand troops were called out to
assist the officers in quelling the riots.

DOG LAW PRAISED
Renewed Interest in Sheep Rails
ing in Weakley County

The following special from Dres-
den mas the correct ring about it.;
Since the passing of the state
dog law the farmers of Weakley
county are showing renewed inter
estin sheep raising. Only recently
the county agent called together
the sheep growers of the county
and assisted in perfecting a county
sheep growers association. The
object of the association is to
stimulate sheep raising. Arrang-
ments were made to receive
more breeding, stock and so far
500 Western year-old ewes have
been brought into the county from
the Chicago market and sold to the
farmers at actual cost. The as
ISOLATION is financing the scheme.
Orders have been placed for 500
more and shipments will continue to
be made till all farmers are we'll
stocked A flock of gaOd grade
ewes headed by a registered brrk
is the FIRST step taken by the
association"
! wzzzzm-~mn--s
Carroll county farmers should
follow the example of our neigh
Dor county, and enter the sheep
raising business. There is no
county in West Tennessee more
adapted to this industry than is
Carroll county.
The farmers of the county, how
ever, have no real organization
suited for the taking up OF this
work. The county court to save
q few hundred dollars cut out the
county agent and this left the
county with no head whose special
business it is to work up enterprises
of this kind. The farmers will
find sheep raising much more
profitable than raising and main
tanning dogs.
