PAVING CONTRACTS
TO BE AWARDED

Contracts for several paving ven
lures, bids for which were opened at
the regular meeting of the city COM
mission Tuesday, will be awarded at
the next regular meeting of the COM
mission. A number of bids were re-
ceived on each of the projects but
owing to the differences which exist be-
tween the several bids Commissioner
Thomas II. Allen requested that they
go over for one week in order that
the engineering department might go
over them and make recommendation
to the commission.
Bidding on these contracts was more
spirited than has been the case in many
months, and as a result of the COM
petition the city expects to secure low
er prices than is usual. Bids were read
on North and South Third street, Pop
lar avenue and Vance avenue projects
and referred to Commissioner Allen fol
consideration.

widows Row"
Destroyed By Fire

Just off Columbia Road, between
Columbia street and Richardsontown'
there did exist an alley known as
"Widows' Row." where about twenty
negresses resided and no negroes al
lowed.
Some of the best domestic ser
wants in the city resided on this row,
but they, like a majority of the negro
women, did not care to work in these
prosperous times, but last Wednes-
dav afternoon, just as the Enterprise
was going to press, fire broke out in
widows Row" and when the fire
department reached the scene, six of
the houses were ablaze, and by the
time the hose could be connected and
a stream turned on the blaze, II Of
the houses were in ashes and three
other burned later.
Spectators, as we'll as the firemen,
felt that good job had been done
to keep the flames from spreading to
adjoining houses. The property was
owned bv Emil Dreyfus of Richard
sontown. Insurance to the extent OF
about so per cent was carried on the
property.

Posen, I'll. The husband was making
good living, selling automobiles, and
the wife worked the little truck farm,
Their nearest neighbors, with one
exception, were several miles distant.
There were two sons at the nearest
neighbors, and men Of rough character
began to visit this place. One day,
when the husband was absent, these
men abducted his bride. Several days
later he found her at the other house
and, after a hard fight, rescued her
and took her home.
A few evenings later a Six-year-old
boy came to Engstrom's house and
begged to be taken in, as the men had
threatened to kill him for telling Eng
strOm where they had hidden his wife.
Two members Of the gang came after
the boy and in the ensuing fight, Eng
StrOm killed the leader. Police say all
the gang are murderers and fugitives
from justice and that the house was
a resort and hiding place for a no
toriOus gang Of professional murder
ers, many Of whom are now in custody
and awaiting trial.

Tennessee leads all Southern States
in the number of COW testing associa-

the number Of registered dairy cattle
and in the number of breeders con-
Quoting Register Of Merit testing. The

Der Of dairy herds under state and

Free Accredited Herd List. This state
was the first in the South to have a
creamery testers license law and q
dairy commissioner devoting his time
to enforcement Of dairy laws.
Before the extension work was es-
tablished by the University Of Tennes-
see In 1914, there had been q large
number of creameries and a few
cheese factories in the state which
failed; due largely to the work Of
the creamery promoter In selling
plants where they were not needed;
the lack of information on the part Of
the people in operating such plants
and the lack Of confidence on the part
Of the producer with regard to the
tests received for milk and cream from
creameries and milk plants Since the
establishment Of the Dairy Extension
work the dairy industry has had
steady growth and this growth has ma
terially increased since the Office Of
the state dairy commissioner was Gre
ated by an act of the legislature in
1917.

animal in the world in the production

TENNESSEE SHOWS BIG IN
CREASE IN DAIRY PRODUCTS

The total value Of dairy products
produced in Tennessee in 1919 amount
ed to $5,O25,657.
The total value Of dairy cattle pro
duced and sold amounted to $1,000 600.
This makes the total production of
the dairy industry in products and
breeding stock for the year 1919,
$7,023,657, not including dairy cattle
used to replace old cows in the herds.
To these figures should be added at
least $3,O00,OO0 for the value of milk
and butter produced on the average
farms of the state, which was con-
Sumed in the home, bringing the total
to $10,O25,657. The above figures have
Just been announced by G. A. Hutton,
dairy specialist of the Division of tx
tension, University of Tennessee. Mr..
Hutton states that the number of dairy
cattle in the state increased during the
year in spite Of the fact that over
10000 head we're shipped out to other
states. The value Of the dairy cattle
exported during the year by Tennessee
breeders was approximately $1750.O0
to say nothing of q greater number
sold to local breeders whO were start
ing herds.
At the beginning of 1915 there were
only five creameries in operation in
the state. The first of 1920 found four
teen and four others being built. In
1916 there were no cream-buying sta
tons, while on January l, 1920, there
were over 100 in operation, and many
others being established. There we're
on January 1, 1920, about 20 city milk
and ice cream plants in operation,
many Of which also make some butter.
Early in 1915 there was not a cheese
factory in the state. At the beginning
Of 1920 there were eleven factories in
operation and another one being built.
