Only one mill will be placed in opera
ton at first. If this proves profitable
and satisfactory three others will be
started and several million feet of vir-
gin timber will be manufactured from
this tract and placed ON the market.
The state expects to realize hand
some sum from this tract Of timber,
which It is hoped will aid materially in
reducing the state debt.
The women are after 1t again-that
is, the ballot Forecasting a storm Of
debate, fiery oratory both pro and con.
o bill seeking to grant presidential
and municipal suffrage to women is
before the general assembly introduc-
ed by Representative Miller of Ham
ilton county. The old state house has
been infested with lady lobbyists work
ing in the interest of the bill ever
since the legislature opened and when
1t comes up for final consideration,
the place will be swarming with fem
ininity urging that the women of Ten
nessee be granted their hearts desire.
An act to repeal recent act Of the
legislature will be introduced this
week, according to statements made
by members of the legislature. The
act which it is proposed to repeal pro-
vides that a Judge cannot pronounce
nor a district attorney cannot consent
to a judgment In any criminal case un'
III the costs, taxes and fees are paid,
secured or worked out in the county
workhouse.
Those who oppose such law say
that this will increase the costs OF
prosecution in the state. When an at
torney general is convinced that man
is not guilty of charges, he cannot re-
lease him until all this cost is paid
and It is apparent that any innocent
man will carry the case through the
court and be acquitted by the jury and
escape all this cost, thereby heaping
additional costs upon the state.
II has been argued that this law is
unconstitutional, inasmuch as the legis-
lative body of the state is undertaking
to tell the judicial branch Of the state
government what its decisions shall be
in such cases. 1t is quite probable that
the law will be repealed.
