The total number of voters reg
istered in the three districts of the
county where registration is re-
quired is 2,923-1,267 at Martin,

Of this number about $50 were wo-

man in the town registered, all hav-
ing been required to so pledge them

At Greenfield the number regis

124-46 women and IS men.
However, Greenfield held a bond is

all her voters, both male and female,
registered. Greenfield has 221
women voters registered.
At Dresden the registration was
still lighter, only 100 women and
"a men registered this week, bring
ing the total number registered at
this precinct to 1852. Only a few of
these are negro women, and it would
seem that the latter here, like the
white women, care very little about
voting, still having confidence in
the ability of the men to run the af-
fairs of state.
1t is quite likely that separate
election booths will have to be pro-
vidad for the races at the forth
coming election. Women voters
should begin to familiarize them
selves with the electors if their re-

MIDNIGHT MAN
HUNT IS FUTILE
Lawrence Griffith, Slayer of
Warren, Breaks Jail at May
field. Comes to WeakIey

Thursday night of last week
Sheriff Bullock received a message
notifying him that Lawrence Crit
fith, convicted at Mayfield on a
charge of killing an old man named
Warren at Lynnville about a year
ago, had broken Jail at Mayfield
and was in hiding in the vicinity of
Latham, defying arrest.
Sheriff Bullock organized pos
Sc and left Dresden about midnight,
instituting thorough search for
Griffith. One or two houses where
he was thought to be in hiding
were searched, but either Griffith
had not been to either place Or had
been tipped off and left in the
darkness of the night for a more
cengenial cline. Mayfield officers
were communicated with after the
search and informed by the Sheriff
that Griffith had not been located.
Griffith was convicted upon the
charge Of dehcying the man off into
the woods near Lynnville and MUIR
dering him for his money. 1t was
known fact that the old man carried
considerable sum of money on his
person at all times. Griffith ap-
pealed his case following conviction
in the lower court to the supreme
court of Kentucky. He was unable
to make bond and was remanded to
Jail to await the decision Of the
higher court, and on Wednesday
night of last week he and two other
prisoners made a successful get
away from the Jail at Mayfield,
coming it was reported to Weakley
county. In fact, he ate breakfast
at home in the Fourth district, and
is said to have. remarked upon leav-
ing the Jail at Mayfield that he
would never be taken alive, that he
was going to kill who ever attempt
ed his arrest.
Sheriff Bullock and several of his
deputies, including Will Dunn,
have made every effort to appre-
bend the fugitive, but their efforts
have proven futile.

GOV. ROBERTS TO
SPEAK IN DRESDEN
States Popular Chief Execu-

At Mckenzie In Morning
Eastern Europe

Gov. A. H. Roberts, chief execu-
tive of Tennessee, will deliver po-
litical speech at the court house in
Dresden on Tuesday, Oct. 26, at
/ 80. Gov. Roberts comes to Weak
ley county in response to an invita-
ton of leading democrats of the
county. In honor of his visit fit
and proper program will be render
ed. Sd.
Gov. Roberts will speak at McKen-
zie at 10 a. m. the same day, COM
ing to Dresden on the noon train.
He will met at the depot by a large
delegation of supporters.
The last address delivered here
by the states chief executive was on
Monday, July S, when the large
court house was crowded to suffo-
cation with eager listeners. At that
time he was seeking the democratic
nomination, which was accorded him
by tne state. He is now the party's
standard bearer in Tennessee. He
is worthy the vote of every good
democrat. His administration merits
the support of every good demo-
crat. 1t is related, and to the
credit of Gov. Roberts, too, that
since his incumbrancy there has not
been a negro lynched in Tennessee,
because he went into office as
law enforcement governor, and
about the first thing he did was to
take the state troops and go to the
city of Knoxville and quell rioting
there that local officials were pow
erless to cope with. He has main
taained this attitude to this good
day, and the result is that no lynch
ing has occurred in the state since
Roberts has been its governor.
Hear him in Dresden on Tuesday,
Oct. 26.

OCTOBER APPRO-
PR|AT|ON LIST.
Bridges Constitute Heavy Item
of Expense to Tax Payer.
County Expense Increase

For the enlightenment of tax pay
ers County Judge Hill is having pub
lished this week in the Enterprise
the October appropriation list, show
ing every dollar ordered paid by the
October term of quarterly court.
The appropriation docket for
October was unusually large, tits
true, but it serves to show the won
derful increase in operating expen-
ses for the county. Take the one
item of bridges, for instance. Get.
your pencil and total the amount
paid out at the October term Of
quarterly, court for bridges in the
county and you will be astounded-
not that the price paid was out of
reason, but at the enormous ex-
pense Of maintaining wooden
bridges. And many of them will
have to be rebuilded before this
time next year.
Weakley county has got to get
away from the old, antequated
wooden bridges or her tax payers
must submit to a greatly increased
rate of taxation.
There are other items of expense,
too, included in the October appro-
priations that might be lessened by
the adoption Of modern ideas of
economy, but the item of bridges is
second only, perhaps, to that Of
levees, and the latter could be
made of more permanent nature
if builded both higher and broader
at the crown.
Judge Hill hopes that every tax
payer in the county will carefully
read this list of items of expense
and use every effort at their COM
mand to help the county get out Of
debt, money being borrowed to meet
the present outstanding warrants.
