ANOTHER ROBBERY
ATTEMPTED HERE
Two Men Frightened From
Titles Rear Door After
Cutting Wire Screen.

What is believed to have been an
attempt to rob T. M. Little's gro
Gerry, located on the north side, was
frustrated Monday night by Louis
AGREE, who ran across two men
down the alley between the two
buildings, when one of them stopped
Acree with the inquiry, "What the
h you doing here?" And Louis,
of course, wanted to know what the
other fellow was doing there,
whereupOn this man and his con-
federate, who was on the platform
leading to the rear door, broke and
ran.
AGREE summoned Mr.. Little and
Sheriff Bullock, when it was found
the screen had been slit and the
latch lifted. AGREE recognized the
man in the alley and on Tuesday
made affidavit that it was Tom
Hendricks, who is under Indictment
for completely in the Levy robbery
last year. Hendricks was arrested
Tuesday upon a warrant sworn out
by Mr.. Little and locked up. He
was arraigned before Esq. Lewis on
Wednesday and waived examina-
ton, and in default of bond was re-
manded to jail. Hendricks was
questioned by Sheriff Bullock and
Detective Stout, both of whom
worked up the case, in an effort to
get from him a confession, but he
bitterly denies being the party, nor
would he tell who was with him.
L. E. Holiday is representing
Hendricks, while ex-Mayor R. L..
Suddath is conducting the prose-
cution.
Citizens of the town contributed
willingly to fund. to employ Mr..
Stout, detective of recognized
ability. They are determined that
this wave Of stealing here shall stop,
and before the thing is over it is
highly probable half dozen noto-
rious characters will be wearing the
stripes.

SAYS BULLOCK DE-
SERVES THE CREDIT

Detective Stout, who has been
working on the several robbery
cases here, states to an Enterprise
reporter that Sheriff Bonnie Bull
lock deserves much credit for bring
ing the robbers to justice; that he
has found Bullock one of the most
jealous officers in the state, willing,
ready and quick to respond.
Mr.. Stout says Bullock worked
up in very nice way the recent
Greenfield robbery, in which 5000
cigarettes were stolen from the de-
pot, even after the railroad detec-
tive had failed. He said many
nice things about the conduct of our
young sheriff, which we all appre-
ciata.

HITS TEL. POLE
SKULL CRACKED
Speeding Auto Collides With
Telephone Pole at Martin.
Ernie Brooks Injured.

Ernie Brooks sustained injuries
which may prove fatal and another
young man was thrown clear Of the
car at Martin Saturday night, when
a large automobile driven by Bon
ME Lanier collided with a tele-
phone pole north of the public
school building.
There were seven young men in
the car, which went into the tele-
phone pole just after turning the
corner going toward the Baptist
church. The pole was broken off
at the ground and six wires broken
from the force of the collision.
Lenier was painfully cut about
the chin, while Brooks sustained q
fracture Of the skull. His condition
is yet serious. Another young man
was thrown clear of the car, land
ing in soft dirt in the ditch. The
car was considerably damaged.
The noise of the collision soon
attracted a large crowd and it was
at first reported that Brooks was
dead, but when he was got to a
physicians office it was found that
life was not extinct, but that he
was unconscious, in which state he
remained over night. He has bad
crack in the side Of the skull.

ESQ. FOSTER Sec
0ND ON TICKET
Cox Leads by Few Votes, With
Garrett a Close Third. The
Election Totals.

Esq. J. M. Foster, church worker,
school man and general all-round
community interest citizen of the
Ska. district, is second on the tick.
e. in Weakley county, his vote be-
ing 4344, while that e! the pyesi-
Dental candidate was 1895.
Representative CARROTS vote
was 4334-just ten less than Esq.
Foster received-and a splendid rec
ord when it is considered that Gar
rtt has been in congress for nearly
20 years, during which period many
local, state and national questions
have been acted upon by him, and
upon all of which he has taken
stand as BELTS real, genuine state
man.
CARROTS vote throughout the en-
tire congressional district was dis
tinct compliment to him, demon
strating his true worth and popu-
larity. It is gratifying to his close
personal friends, too, in the face II
the fact that some Of the old con-
gressional warehouses; went down in
defeat in the same election.
Gov. Roberts, too, held his own
in the county, Notwithstanding the
tremendous opposition to his tax
laws, fact which further proves
the loyalty Of Weakley county demo-
Gratis.
The vote of each candidate, as
shown by the official count on last
Monday, is as follows:

exhibit which gave the exhibitors
an opportunity of seeing the good
and bad points. In judging the
dairy cows he dwelt quite extensive
" on the merits of a good COW. At
2:30 he made public address to
the people, dwelling for some time
on the value and importance of a
farmers organization. He strong
ly emphasized that the problem for
the farmer to solve is that of mar
keting his products and that the
only way that this could be brought
about was by organization. He
paid quite tribute to the potato
association of the Gleason terrific
ry and urged every farmer to get
into it and be loyal. He also brought
out the value of county council Of
agriculture to a county, and re-
lated how these organizations were
solving the problems in many coun-
ties. Mr.. Watson promised to come
back to Weakley county in Janua-
ry or February and assist in getting
the value of the county council be-
fore the people. We welcome him
back.
Taking it all ss a whole, it was
fine fair and the community de-
serves to be commended in launch
ing such an occasion. First, it
speaks we'll for the live Commercial
Club, guided by the enthusiastic
business man, Frank Margrave,
who, with others, originated the
plan; and it shows the interest
these merchants have in the peo-
pes welfare. These business men
went down in their pockets and Of
fered very elaborate premium list
and on the fair days cut the
prices to the very bottom so their
good customers could tide over
during the low price of farm prod
ucts.
Then, again, too much cannot be
said in behalf of the committee on
management Of the fair, consisting
of Esq. Hawks, Ned Castleman, W.
W. Bandy, R. T. Nants and John
Bandy. These men arranged the
building, received the exhibits and
made it pleasant for the visitors In
every way possible. Mayor Deck,
who was officially in charge Of the
crowd, displayed his usual interest
in the good things that the people
have and very ably managed the
crowd to the satisfaction Of both
town people and visitors. It was a
pleasant, profitable, enjoyable oc-
casion.

DECLINE IN DEMAND
FORLABOR SHOWN

A gradual return of labor con-
ditions to normal is forecast by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics. which
shows that in the past year there
has been in fourteen selected indus
tries a decrease of per cent in
the number of persons employed.
The decrease has been visible only
in the past few months. Compare
son between August, 1920, and Sep
tember. 1920, the latest figures to
be tabulated, show a decrease Of
l per cent.
The figures for 1920 show that
in only four industries was there
an increase in the payroll in Sep
tember. as compared with August
and in ten a decrease. The largest
increase in the number of people
employed, 37.9 per cent, is shown
in the wooden industry, while the
smallest increase, 2.3 per cent. ap-
pears in both coal. iron and steel
Percentage decreases of l4.4 and
7.6 appear in leather and silk, while
paper and cotton manufacturing
show respective decreases of IL and
8 per cent. The increase in the
wooden industry over last month is
due to the fact that many mills re-
sumed full operation after being
party closed on account of lack of
orders.

HARDING CALM
AND CONFIDENT
Senator S Home City Scene
Of Several Election Fights,
However.

Marion. Ohio, Nov. 1.-Senator
Warren G Harding. Republican
Presidential nominee today appeared
to be the most complscent citizen
of Marion on the eve OF the National
elections.
Throughout the Senator's little
home city groups OF people were col
IeCts I-OE nearly every street corner
discussing and arguing the posi-
bilities OF tomorrow. So high was
the tension. that several OF the
street corner forums broke up in
fist fights. in one OF which a town
official. who happened 10 be Dem
ocrat. was knocked down and out by
an ardent young Harding supporter.
But on the front porch and at
Harding headquarters just opposite,
an air OF almost complete serenity
prevailed. despite the gloom Of a
dark. rainy day. Last minute re-
ports received from Republican
chairmen in many States and i'm
mediately delivered to the candidate,
served to increase the general feel
ing of optimism.
Senator Harding had long con-
ference with the newspaper men
late this afternoon. in which he ap-
peared in the highest spirits and
related a long list Of humorous eN-
periences he had while serving in
the Senate.
