FRUITFUL MEET
ING AT SHARON

Evangelist fuckers revival at
Sharon has proven the most fruitful
of any held there in the past. There
have been many conversions and the
entire town has been wonderfully
revived and strengthened. Rev.
tucker has delivered some very
powerful sermons to large crowds.
In fact, the crowds were so large
that an addition had to be provided
for the tent.
On Saturday afternoon, Rev.
Tucker preached on the streets at
Greenfield to large crowd. After
noon prayer-meetings are being held
daily at the residences and splendid
reports are had as to interest and
attendance. The song service, led
by Prof. Wyatt, is feature of gen.
eral interest, Mr.. Wyatt organizing
a large choir of splendid singers.
The meeting will continue through
Sunday, according to present an
nouncement.

SOLDIERS MAY NOT
VOTE IN AUGUST
Urged That Ex-Service Men
Not be Disfranchised. Gen.
eral Discussion.

Unless some relief is afforded be-
tween this date and the August
election, practically none of the ex-
service men will be allowed to vote
in that election.
In January, 1919, when taxes
were assessed, most of these boys
were in France, and, consequently,
were not assessed for poll taxes for
1919, and it is poll tax receipt for
that year that is required as a quail
cation for voting.
1t is estimated, after an examina-
ton Of the books, that there are at
least 5000 citizens in Weakley of
voting age who have not paid the
1919 poll tax, and 1000 of these
are ex-service men,. Not one sol
der in SO has paid the 1919 pol tax,
because he was not assessed. It had
been thought the county court had
authority to exempt these soldiers,
but recent supreme court decision
says this cannot be done. The
county court can only relieve per-
son of the payment of poll tax in
cases of disability, and under re-
cent act of the legislature poll taxes
must be paid 80 days prior to the
election.
Therefore, if ex-service men ex-
pect to vote in the November cleo
ton they will be required to pay
the 1919 poll taxes 80 days before
election day, provided, however,
some relief is not afforded.
The constitution of Tennessee
says that before a person is permit
ted to vote in regular elections he
must furnish proof of the payment
of poll tax assessed against him."
First come will get first choice
sessed, because they were in France
undergoing the very fortunes of hell
Ito make the world safe to live
in," and some method ought to be
worked out whereby they may be
permitted to vote in the coming
August election, at least those Of
them who were not assessed.
The local Post of the American
Legion has taken the matter up with
Attorney General Thompson and the
latter's decision will be published in
next weeks Enterprise.

BROKEN BY FALL

East Weakkley,, July 14.-Mr.
Wesley Lomax happened to a very
serious accident last Thursday. He
was hauling hay and fell from the
wagon, breaking his collar bone
and otherwise bruising him up. He
is resting very well at present.
Misses Hassie and George Law
renee are visiting in Arkansas.
They will probably make an extend
ed visit of about one month.
Lewis Taylor and Aaron Bell, who
have been employed by firms at
Akron, Ohio, are back in old
Tennessee-Of course they have al
most made a fortune and can now
retire from active life.
The young people enjoyed a
moonlight party last Saturday night
at Mr.. Mitchell Perry's.
There was singing at Tumbling
last Sunday afternoon. There were
only two or three members of the
church present. However, the sing
ers all did some good singing.
There will be singing at Union next
Sunday.
We have some thousands of
pounds of crab grass th&t would

SUDDEN DEATH OF
MR.. A. ]. WILSON

Mr.. A. J. (Bud) Wilson expired
suddenly Wednesday about midnight,
being found dead in bed by his son
who went to give his father a dose
of medicine.
Mr.. Wilson had not been well for
some time, and on the night of his
sudden and unexpected death he
was up at 10 o'clock. Later, at 2
o'clock, his son went to his fathers
bed for the purpose of administering
a dose of medicine and found Mr..
Wilson dead. He was about n years
of age and served in the Civil war
as Union soldier. Mr.. Wilson was
a splendid citizen. He had no enc
mics, for he had lived an honorable
and upright christian life. Pro-
found sympathy is extended the be-
reaved family.

ASSESSMENT FOR
WEAKLEY COUNTY
IS "A MILLION.
County Assessor Lowered
About Three Million. Per-
sonalty Doubled.

After steadily grinding away at
tax valuations in the county for
many days, during which period well
informed citizens from every locali-
ty in the county appeared before the
board, the Weakley county equali-
cation board adjourned last week
after certifying its report, which has
been forwarded to the state board
at Nashville, where further com
plants will be heard.
The county's assessed valuation,
real and personal, is approximately
"a million dollars. Ibis is about
three million lower than the county
assessor had made it, the county
board making reductions in many
localities. County Assessor Lip
scomb's figures were higher than
these of the state assessors.
Heavy reductions were made IN
districts II, 18 and 10, while No. Z
came for some reductions also.
Districts Nos. 8 and 9 were raised
over the assessors valuation, due to
errors in totaling.
The assessment of both real and
personal for 1919 was $7,488, 76O,
and the assessment of personal and
real for 1920 is approximately
$24,O0O,OOO, or about three times
what it was for last year. At the
present rate of $1.95 on the hun
dred dollars the sum OF $l40,OOO
was Melted last year, and trustee
Moore figures that a 6O-cent rate
this year will yield $144,OOO. How
ever, at least 65 cents will be re-
duired to meet the increased run
ing expenses of the state and coun-
ty. and it is thought that 65 cents,
or 70 cents at the outside, will be
sufficient.
This much is certain: We are
fortunate in having very conser-
vative county court and we do not
believe the body will place the rate
higher than necessary to meet our
obligations.

y DIVORCE CASES
BEFORE CHANCERY

Chancery court convenes next
Monday. l. L. Banks, clerk and mas
ter, and his deputy, c. A. Ogan, are
busy this week getting ready their
reports, etc., for the opening Of the
court. 1t is not likely that the court
will be in session longer than one
week. The docket is considered a
light one. There are, however, 149
cases on the docket, many Of which
are continued cases from term to
term. No big litigated cases are for
hearing this term.
The number Of cases on docket
for this term is about the same as
at last term, yet since last term DO
new cases have been field, Of which
several have been dismissed before
the clerk and master. With these
dismissed cases and those retired by
the court at last term, about as many
cases are off the docket as now ones
filed.
It is a matter of remark that Of
the new cases filed and for hearing
at this term, % are divorce cases.
This is the largest number of cases
for divorce for hearing at one term,
possibly in the history Of the cham
Gerry court at Dresden, at least
within the recollection of any mem-
Der of the present WeakIey county
bar,

JEWISH RELIEF
FUND STILL GROWS

It is gratifying to note that the
Jewish Relief Fund is growing in
Weakley county. There never has
been an appeal made for funds more
worthy nor one so badly needed as
this one, and Weakley countians are
responding generously.
An error crept in the report of
contributors last week, where it was
said $40 was contributed by the
Gleason Hardware Co. 1t should
have been the Brasfield Hardware
Co. of Dresden. The following ad-
ditional contributions are reported
for this week:

CARROLL COUNTY
ROAD CONTRACT
Chairman House of the High
way Commission Makes
Statement.

Chairman W W. House of the
state highway commission, gave out
on Tuesday the following statement
concerning the Carroll county con-
tract:
"My attention has been directed
to the interview of Hon. W. R..
Crabtree appearing in the Tennes-
sean of Friday, l did not see it un-
til Sunday afternoon. In it Mr..
Crabtree suggests a criticism of the
state highway commission. He
does not make it by direction, but
chooses the course Of insulation by
suggestion and of arousing doubt
by asking questions. He makes no
charges but adopts the old time worn
plan of men who wish to create sus-
picion in regard to their fellow
men and are unwilling to make open
charges upon their responsibility as
men and citizens. He merely init
mates.
THE records of the state highway
commission are public property and
are open to any citizen for proper
purpose at any time. There is moth
ing to conceal because there is moth
ing which needs concealment.
"Gov. Roberts had no part or
parcel in the letting of the Carroll
county contract referred to by Mr..
Crabtree. The responsibility rests
entirely with the commission. The
commission has done nothing except
follow the plain letter of the law,
and there is nothing to even suggest
an unethical action on our part.
"The lowest bidders on the first
offer failed to make the bond re-
quired by law and forfeited the
guarantee fund required to be de-
posted when their bid was received.
All this was made public at the
time. Practically every detail was
known. When bids were re-adver-
Used for they bad again. Their bid
was the lowest by several thousand
dollars and was accepted under the
terms of the law. They made bond
and are doing the work in a manner
entirely satisfactory to all the citi-
zens of Carroll county who are ia
miliar with it so far as the commits
sion is advised.
"The particular thing which Mr..
Crabtree seems anxious to stress is
the fact that Mr.. L. A. Elliott Of
Martin, who happened to be my
brother-in-law, is a member of the
firm of contractors. My first in
formation of this fact was contained
in Mr.. Crabtree's interview and
find upon inquiry that few weeks
ago and long after the contract was
let and after construction work was
underway, Mr.. Elliott purchased
from Phillips a part of his interest
so that Mr.. Elliott now has a one
eighth interest in the whole contract.
| understand he is also receiving
from the firm of contractors the
munificent salary of fifty dollars a
month for bookkeeping work. Meth
er the state nor the taxpayers are
interested in that since it is matter
wholly with the contractors.
"Mr. Elliott was not member Of
the firm until long after the con-
tract was let. He had no interest
whatsoever in it when the bid was
made, and / am anxious that the
facts should be understood. Mr..
Crabtree might easily have ascer-
tanned these by an inquiry Of me
had he seen fit to make it, before
casting out the cruel and unwarrant-
ed imputatiOn before the people of
J the state"
