The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1920-07-22

The Home Demonstration Club Of
Iewisburg early in June put on a
campaign to clean Up the town. A
committee was appointed BY the
president Of the club to make plans
for the campaign. 1t was given nee
essary publicity, the cooperation Of
the city officials was obtained and
suitable dumping place was locat-
ed Captains were appointed for
each block IN the town, the captains
duty being to see that every one in
the block knew when the city truck,
which was furnished free, would be
there. The day that the truck would
start was announced and all rubbish
was placed at the edge Of the street
iii front of each home where the
truck could gather II up without loss
of time, The club furnished a helper
for loading and hauling which con-
tinued for two and three-fourth
days. One hundred loads Of rubbish
were hauled away to the dump and
fhe cost to the club was $685., This
IL i fine piece Of work and othre
home demonstration clubs looking
for some way to serve their commun-
itv would do well to follow this
splendid example.

SPECIAL SESSION OF TENNES
SEE LEGISLATURE.

A special session of the Tennes-
lee legislature has been called by
Gov. Roberts to convene on August
q. The constitution sets cut that
at 4 special legislative session only
such matters can be considered as
ARE stated in the State executives
call. The Memphis Commercial Ar
peal states IN d timely manner that
siit is taken for granted that the
governors chief items will b. the
business Of Strengthening out the as
sessment bill and requiring poll
taxes for women. These were called
dor III the Democratic platform.
Other matters have come to the
front, particularly woman suffrage
and the public utilities bill. The
meeting date is now scarcely three
weeks off. Neither the legislators
nor The people yet know what the
meeting il to be about. They do
know that it will cost about $25,-
900. 1t would not be bad idea for
tho governor to issue his .proclama-
fion and let the people know what
IL coming off. The Legislators may
have inside information, but the
people haven't and there Ate many
good citizens Of the State quite q
interested as the legislators Or the
governor himself. It would give
ale people ! few days to think over
the programme and see what is up
Surely, II could do no harm"

First---It is very evident the pres

changed or repealed altogether. A
law that il practical, adjustable and
that will lave at least some binding
force on the contractors, as well as
on the citizens, should be enacted. I
am in favor of good roads in every

far as possible, should be allowed to
have q voice in these matters.
Second believe we have too much
machinery iii the administration III
the county affairs. The office Of
county Judge should be dispensed
with and the business transacted
through a chairman Of the county
court, which would be considerable
saving to the taxpayers, and II
