LoneIiest Woman in the World.

The loneliest woman in the world
has just passed away in Butte, Scotland,
at the age of seventy-six years. Thir-
ty years ago she Travelled far into the
interior of Africa and by her practical
service to tribe of natives led them
skillfully to open school for the edu-
cation of their children. For a great
er part of the thirty years she was
the only European woman in the ter
ritory and she acknowledges that in
adapting herself to the food, customs
and climate she almost unconsciously
de-Europeanized her outlook. She
only saw the world within her narrow
and weird sphere. In the rainy days
she grew very wearied. The native
friends who gathered round her would

OF VITAL lMPOR-
TANCE TO WOMEN

The Federal Suffrage Amendment
is of vital Importance to every woman
voter in the United States. True,
women have full suffrage in fifteen
states and are entitled to vote for the
next President in fifteen other states,
but it is only by final ratification of
the Federal Suffrage Amendment that
any woman is nationally protected in
her voting rights. Let New York
woman cross the North river into
Jersey and she loses her full suffrage
rights. Let a Tennessee woman move
to Alabama and she loses her Presi-
Dental and municipal suffrage rights.
In 1916 the Democratic party vote
represented a gain Of from 20 per
cent to &c per cent over the 1914
election.
In woman suffrage states the per-
centage Of gain was from 76 per cent
to 126 per cent
After Wilson's advocacy of woman
suffrage, ten woman suffrage states
that had formerly been Republican,
went Democratic.
After the Democratic senate Of the
Sixty-f1fth Congress turned down
woman suffrage, nine Of these suffrage
states returned Republicans to Con-
gress.

STATE PRIDE AFOAT

Capt. Leigh, of the Battleship Ten

have raised fund to keep the crew
in luXuries not provided by Uncle
Sam. The ship has a reading room
for the crew and carries a motion

pictures of the bluejackets in foreign
countries. These pictures will be
displayed in all corners of Tennes-
see.
Now the ship possesses the flag

From then on your career will rest

men. You will gain assets of charac-

IN EXTRA SESSION
Convened Monday to Consider Nineteenth
Amendment and Other Things

/ In response to the call of Gov. A. h
Roberts, the legislature convened il
extra session Monday. There are 13S
different matters are included in the
call. The first on the list and the one
that will arouse the most interest is the
ratification of the nineteenth amend
ment to the federal constitution, which,
when approved, will confer the right
upon all women i'll the United States
to vote
Thirtyfive states have ratified the
amendment. OF the humber 29 are
republican states and are democratic
and Tennessee is expected to be the
36th, which will make it binding on all
tie etates. Two-thlrds-or So states
out of the 48-must ratify it by a ma
jority of the members of both houses
of the legislatures must vote for the
amendment before it will become effec-
tive or binding on all or any of the
states.
A hot fight will be waged for and
against ratification, but it seems likely
10 win because the national platforms
of both the democratic and republican
parties have declared for it and both
Cox and Harding are urging the mem
bers of onr legislature TO vote for it. |
Gov. Roberts, who has just won such |
a rousing victory at the poll, has sent |

urging ratification.

SCHOOLS AND TAXES

Much has been sad recently about
the insutiiciency of money to pro-
vide better SCHOOLS and longer terms
Tor the country children of the coqn-
ty. But with all due respect to those
in office, the farmer, who is strug-
Cling against great odds, and whose
taxes have been more than doubled
for the past few years, cannot help
but wonder why the increased
taxes of the county, which is rapidly
building up, will only provide four
months school for his children, with
teachers salaries ranging from $50
to $50, when the most thinly settled
parts of the west have an eight and
nine months school, with first grade
teachers drawing from $95 to S125
per fonth.

The farmer of Cumberland coun-

The farmer of Cumberland county
would glaly meet another tax in
