URGED TO APPLY
FOR JUDGESHIP

The death of Hon. John E. Mccall,
u. S. District Federal Judge for the
Western district of Tennessee has
created a vacancy in a most desira-
BILE position and there are numerous
applicants for the place among the
lawyers of the western section of the
state.
The position is for life and the
salary is $500 per annum. The
Appointment is made by the presi,
dent and must be confirmed by the
United States Senate.
The friends of Judge R. E.
Maiden, recognizing his peculiar fit
ness for the work, are anxious to
press him for appointment, if he
should consent for them to do so.
1t is not thought That the appoint
ment will be made until congress
convenes, the first Monday in De-
cember, as it is not usual to make
recess appointments of Judges.

McCUAN STILL IN
TOBACCO MARKET

Concluding an article last week
with reference to growers bringing
their tobacco to the Dresden associ-
alton pricing house, the Enterprise
made the statement that the Italian
buyers were out of the market,
"leaving no market for tobacco, err
cept through the association" or
words to that effect.
The Enterprise was clearly in err
ror when it said there was no, mar
ket for leaf Tobacco, except through
the association, as W. A. McCuan,
Dresden leaf handler, still has his
men in the field, and much of the
tobacco that has been coming to
Dresden during the past two weeks
has gone to his rehandling house,
he having purchased something like
100000 pounds during the past
three or four weeks.
We do not know where we got the
impression that there was no mar
ket for tobacco, nor does it make
much difference-it was a blunder
and we want to correct it.

REPRESENTATIVE
GARRETT AGAINST
THE RATIFICATION

Memphis Tenn, Aug. 1b.-Con-
gressman Finis ]. Garrett, who made
an address before the Cotton States
Merchants Association here Tues
day, declared unqualified opposition
while here to ratification of the
nineteenth amendment by the Ten
nessee legislature. He said the
move would be bad thing for both
parties. He based his opposition
chiefly on the question of the state
having in its constitution a clause
inhibiting action by any legislature
chosen before the amendment was
submitted to congress. He further
said:
"The Federal amendment propos-
es to establish the right of voting
in all elections, state as well as ma
tional. Therefore, if there be doubt
as to the validity this doubt involves
not only the legality of the presi-
dental election, but the election of
a number of men in the house of rep
resentatives, several senators and
the governors and legislatures of
the various states. Entirely indie
pendent of the merits of woman's
suffrage, it seems the hazard in
volved is too great. There is no
chance to test before November,
After all, the opinions of state and
law officers for whom
we have every respect, they are only
opinions"

COMES
AFTER BITTER FIGHT
THE GEORGE H.
GUINNUP CASE

The creditors of Mr.. Guinnup met
at Dresden Tuesday afternoon to ad-
Just the various matters relative to
the general creditors bill filed
against him by Brasfield Hardware
Co., ct. ais "a few days since. After
wrangling for nearly day and night
the meeting adjourned without &C
complishing anything. Notice was
served upon Guinnup and his solicit
tor that motion will be made to
have the bill sustained as a general
creditors bill, before Chancellor
Holmes, sitting at Chambers at Tren-
ton Monday next. W. R. McWher-
ter, r. E. Maiden, J. E. Jones and
J. W. Thomas appeared for credi-
tors, while Stanfield and Stanfield,
of Mayfield, and Lake E. Holiday,
of Dresden, represent Guinnup. 1t
is stated that the Indebtedness is
some forty thousand dollars, while
there are great many assets scat
tered over five counties of the two
states. Just what the final out
come will be in the case is matter
of conjecture.

There was a rumor tonight that
Senator Mcclellan offered to support

Senator Mcclellan said tonight
that he believes an appointment by
President Wilson will be confirmed
by the Senate. At any rate, an eff
fort may be made to give the re.
publicans a battle. Of course, if
Harding is elected and the appoint
ment is not confirmed, the general
opinion is that Chancellor Will Ross
of Jackson will be the federal judge
in West Tennessee. Whosoever gets
the appointment by President Will

both Tennessee senators, because if
they don't make fight it is GER
tain that a republican senate will

Mcclellan himself might consider the
appointment. There is a senatorial
courtesy which favors confirmation
of a senator without protest.

j. s. WARSHIPS SENT TO
DANz|C AS PROTECTION
State Department Takes its
First Step to Aid
7 Poland.
MARINES TO LAND IF
NATIONALS IN DANGER

Washington, Aug. 16.-The State
Department took it's first step in aid
Of Poland and the Colby note today
when it ordered the Navy Depart
ment to dispatch three warships to
the Baltic. Secretary Daniels i'm
mediately announced that he had d.
rected the cruiser Pittsburg and
some destroyers, now at Cherburg,
to start at once. 1t is understood
the vessels are under orders to pro-
coed to Danzig, the free city on the
Baltic. The threatening situation
in Poland has jeopardized the lives
and interests of large number of
Americans, who are scattered in va
riOus parts of Poland. Many of these
Americans have already made their
way to Danzig and others are en-
deavoring to reach that port, 1t is
primarily for their protection that
the warships were ordered to the
Baltic.
It is stated at the State Depart
ment today that a few Americans
were at other points on the Baltic
and that the nearness of the Bolshe-
vik activities in the Baltic States had
made it important that some protec-
ton be within their reach. Some of
them are officials of the Govern
ment sent to observe the situation
in that part of the world and others
are commercial representatives en-
deavoring to establish business rela-
tions with the anti-Bolshevik states
and their nationals.
It was pointed out by officials to-
night that the dispatch of warships
was the most drastic step the Presi-
dent can take without consent of
Congress. The executive is en-
powered to call upon the navy and
to land marines wherever American
interests are imperiled.
Both army and navy officials de-
clared that the fall of Warsaw,
which is iminent, will be followed
by an advance of Soviet army up
the Polish corridor for the purpose
of Selling Danzig.
It would require too long to send
ships from America. Therefore,
those nearest the scene were chosen.
Further active aid to Poland by
the United States was indicated by
the State Department today. 1t was
explained that events were changing
so rapidly that the government might
be compelled to adopt different
methods from those already decided
upon.
"The form of the aid" it was
stated, "would depend upon future
events"

R. 7. LEWIS NE.
MORTAL SERVICE
Popular Member of Dresden
Is Bar Eulogized by His
Brother Lawyers.

A memorial service in memory of
Hon. R. T. Lewis, one of Dresden's
best loved and most popular citizens
and one Of the ablest members of the
local bar, was held in the court
house yard Sunday afternoon at 8
o'clock. All of the members of the
Dresden bar were present and made
short, but able talks, eulogizing
their departed brother.
A large crowd was present, at
testing the high esteem in which Mr..
Lewis was held by his fellow towns
men, and after appropriate talks by
the members of the local bar, the
following resolutions, which were
drafted by committee appointed at
a previous meeting of the bar, were
adopted:
Ralph Theodore Lewis, was born
on farm in Humphreys county,
Tennessee, on the 18th of December,
1865, and was at the time of his
death, August /, 1920, approaching
his 54th birthday.
He grew to young manhood, at
tending the common schools of his
community, and for a time, college
at Valparaiso, Ind. In 1889 he
came to Weakley county and for
several years was engaged in the
teaching of the public schools at
different points in the county.
He was married on December %,
1894, to Miss Minnie Dent, near
Martin, a lady of great charm and
culture VINO has graced their home
and graced the social circles Of this
town. Four children were born to
them. The eldest, Rolandus, pre-
ceded his father in death by a few
weeks. The others, together with
their mother, survive, these being
one son, Ralph, and two daughters,
Misses Rebecca and Rachel.
Mr.. Lewis was graduated in law
from Cumberland University of
Lebanon, Tenn, in 1893, and being
admitted to the bar, he opened an
office in Dresden the same year.
He and Judge r. E. Maiden were
law partners for many years there
after. During the past fifteen
years he and Finis J. Garrett have
been associated together. AS law
yer Mr.. Lewis moved on the highest
plane of professional ethics. He
was studious and methodical, arriv-
ing at conclusions slowly and cling
ing. to them with tenacity
Mr.. Lewis was one of the most
useful citizens whose life ever
blessed any community. He was
bearer of community burdens. In
all the activities of our local life he
was leader-one may well say the
leader. He had been for years the
leading factor in the life Of the pub
lie schools of Dresden.
He was a devoted member of the
Methodist church at Dresden and
was also a member of its board Of
trustees. In the service Of the
church as in that of the community
he was a bearer Of burdens and one
of its chief pillars. Therefore, be
it,
Resolved, That in the death Of
Ralph Lewis the community has lost
faithful servant, safe counsel
Tor, an upright citizen; the bar a
loyal and devoted friend.
Resolved, That we extend to the
bereaved widow and family our
deepest sympathy and that a copy Of.
these resolutions be presented them.
Resolved, That as a further mark

resulted in a tie, AZ to 48. Two
roll calls were necessary to establish
the result of this vote, as unofficial
checkers claimed that the first roll
showed 40 to At in favor of tabling.
Representatives Burns and Turner
changed their position when it came
to voting on the resolution itself,
and by throwing their votes to the
ratification side, carried the resolu-
ton.
Through the two votes on the mo-
ton to table and the vote on the
resolution itself the house was in an
uproar, and cheering of the suffra-
gists lasted long after the final
vote on the resolution was an
nounced. In the confusion a mo-
ton to adjourn to 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning was made and car
ried.
The capitol was packed and
iammed with people long before the
house met at 10 o'clock.
Gov. Roberts spent several hours
this morning comforting with repre-
sentatives and urging them to sup
port ratification.
Speaker Walker again had the
floor cleared of spectators, moving
them into the galleries and the prom
enade at the rear of the chamber,
