RED CROSS LEADERS
ARE CHANGED HERE.
Harvey Chenault and Miss Lucia
Burnam Retire After Splen-
did Achievements.

After over two years of the
most exacting work, Mr.. Harvey
Chenault and Miss Lucia Bur-
nam resigned as chairman and
vice chairman, respectively of the
Madison county chapter of the
Aremican Red Cross. At meet
ing of the members held Satur-
day afternoon Neale Bennett was
elected chairman and Mrs.
Eugene Walker vice chairman, to
fill the vacancies. Both have al
ready had much experience in the
good work that the local chapter
has done and successful con-
tinuation of its great work under
their leadership is assured.
The results that Mr.. Chenault
and Miss Burnam accomplished
are too we'll known to need
lengthy encomium. Taking hold
when the great Red Cross move
ment was in its incipiency at the
beginning of the war, they built
up a splendid organization, and
kept Madison county at the fore
front in the great relief work
which was done by the nation.
With Miss Burnam actively in
charge of headquarters work
was prosecuted with vigor at all
times, and with. the work over,
she and her patriotic assistants
receive the highest commenda
ton from the national head
quarters for the splendid &C
complishment of the Madison
county chapter.

MURDER
STILL A MYSTERY
tBy Associated Press)

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. | =
"Robin ]. Cooper was killed by
two or more men and the mur-
derers will soon be apprehended,' .
was the statement made by Chief
OF Police Barthell today He did
not reveal the clue on which he
was working In pursuing the
suggestion that Cooper might
have been the victim of bootleg
gers, all persons here suspected
of connection with such traffic,
were made to satisfactorily dis
close their whereabouts on
Thursday night when Cooper dis
appeared. A housegirl in the
Cooper home told the police she
heard a man call Cooper from his
home that night. She saw only
the mans shadow but heard
Cooper say to him as they left in
an automobile:
eff you had asked for more you
could have had it."
The identity Of the visitor and
the significance of the remark
are believed to be all important
questions involved in the extraor-
binary case. Cooper's funeral
was held today.

No Bank Failures In Six Months

No national bank failures for
more than six months and only
two small national bank failures
over the last nineteen months
period, is the record for immunity
in the last half century, accord
ing to the report on banking
conditions just made public by
the Comptroller of the Currency.
Not since 1870 has this record for
immunity from failure for ma
tional banks been equalled, the
comptroller declares.
Twenty charters for new ma
tional banks were issued during
the month of July and 81 national
banks were granted permission to
increase their capital. The ag-
gregate increase in national bank
capital was over $12,OO0,OOO,
while the capital of the newly
chartered banks amounted to
$780,0OO. Banking conditions
over the country indicate a -four
ishing market and a rather gen.
eral possession of money.

Despite the fact that today is holi-
day, the expected crowds had not ap-
peared on the streets during the
morning. Here and there men appear
ed in groups but not permitted to
gather in great numbers. All negroes
who appeared were publicly searched
for arms, unless they had permits
certifying to their errands or per-
sonality.
One white man and two negroes
were wounded Sunday in rioting which
resulted in the killing of seven per-
sons, including two National Guards
men and the wounding of more than a
score.

ed attacks on the County Jail by a
mob of more than 1000 persons bent
on obtaining Maurice Mayes, negro,
accused Of having killed white wo-
man, were quelled early Sunday, but
as the day wore on incipient rioting
took place despite the presence in the
city of 1900 National Guardsmen.
One of. the negroes wounded was
shot by guardsman while resisting
search. Many negroes during the
night broke into hardware stores and
pawnshops to obtain guns and
ammunition.
The attack on the jail was made by
mob Of more than 1000 whites who
believed that Mayes was held there.
The negro, however, had been taken to
Chattanooga for safekeeping, but the
mob, declining to accept the word Of
jail officers, shattered the windows
and battered the doors.
In gaining entrance to the Jail the
mob permitted 16 prisoners, several
af them convicted murderers, to escape
Troops meeting a band of armed
negroes who refused to give way

in the resulting exchange of shots
Lieut.. James w. Payne, of Providence,

private by the name of Henderson
were killed.
In its attack on the Jail the mob
came upon large quantity of con-
fiscated whisky and casks and cases
were smashed open, the liquor vanish
ing quickly.

stocks in the city is estimated to be
about $4,000. Hardware stores and
rawnshops suffered the heaviest loss
es during the raids, but several fulni-
ture stores also We're broken into and
looted of their stocks of kitchen
knives, cleavers, &c.
The casualties remain unchang-

Schools are soon to open and
Selmer has a good one. There are
some half dozen families who would
move to this town for school advan
tages if houses were available and if
property were not so high. But this
place. like all other towns and cities,
is keeping a lot of good people away
on account of high land. Real
estate agents sometimes forget that
by selling little cheaper, they can
sell more-and the more prople in a
town, the more land will bring.
First get the people here. Good pee :
pie are worth more to a town than
valuable property. Somebody lower
