STUDYING SITUATION, AND
PLANNING TO MEET 1T.
OILY TWO COURSES NOW OPEN
viii Be Necessary for Supreme Court
To Pass Upon Legality Of Tennes-
sees Action, Or Secure Ratification
\. OF Another State.
(Hy United Press }

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. p
The possibility of the Tennessee suff.
rage tangle dragging the results OF
the fall elections into the courts, and
into the homes of representatives of,
the United States has been recognized
by high government officials and ways
to meet it are being considered.
If the courts declare that the Ten
nessee ratification is illegal, it would
necessitate the throwing out of all
electoral votes where women parti
cipated.
1t was said that this would preclude
the requisite majority in the cleo
tion Of the President and would make
the elction of the President necessary
by the House~of Representatives
Two courses are open, either to
have the Supreme Court decide the
question before the election or to get
another state to ratify the Anthony or
Nineteenth amendment.

LIGHT COMPANY
ASKS INCREASE
ABOUT A THIRD
WOULD ADVANCE WATER. AND
LIGHT RATES ABOUT THIRTY
PER CENT OCTOBER 1.
WOULD PERpETUATE HISTORY INCREASED COST IS CAUSE
Impossible, 1t Is Stated, to Operate
With Coal and Labor and Materials
at Present Prices With Existing
Rates.

AS intimated some time ago the
Columbia Water & Light Company
has filed with the public utilities com
mission at Nashville a request for per-
mission to increase the present rates
charged for water and light and pow
er. 1t had been expected for several
months with the rapidly increasing
cost of operation that the company
would make this request In doing SO
it is simply following the course OF
similar public service corporations all
over the country. Generally the com
missions have been prompt to grant
permission to raise the rates for 9th
erwse the public service corpoations
would face bankruptcy.
The rate on water is increased by
fiat thirty-three and one-third per
cent If ones water bill in the past
has averaged $3.50 a month it will av-
erage 50 month. The rate of in
crease on the electric current is the
same practically. Heretofore it has
been twelve and a half cents with a
twenty per cent discount, making the
rate ten cents. 1t will be under the in
crease fifteen cents with ten per
cent discount or net rate of thirteen
and half cents, really thirty-fve
per cent advance.
The reasons for the effort to in
crease the rate are not difficult TO
find. Coal, which is perhaps the big
gest item in the expense account of
the company is costing about four
times as much as it did when the pres
ent rates were made. 1t will cost
more in the future, due to the advanc-
ed freight rates. The labor expense is
of course largely more than it has
All of the materials that the company
has to buy are likewise much more ex-
pensive than formerly.
1t is stated by the company that the
present rates would soon result in
bankruptcy, that it is absolutely i'm
possible to operate continuously with
out an advance. The expense account
cannot be reduced. The new rates are
expected to go into effect on October
l. and the bills due Nov will include
the advance.
The power rates are advanced sub
stantially with the increases in water
and lights.

RAILROAD BRIDGE
ON PIKE is DOWN
LONG DEToUR NECESSARY FOR
TRAVELLERS OVER MT. PLEA
SAINT HIGHWAY.

Travel on the Mt. Pleasant pike is
being greatly inconvenienced by the.
tearing away of the bridge over the
main line of the Louisville & NASH
vile railroad short distance from
the city. The bridge was torn away
several days ago and for some I'M
known reason the work of replacing
it has been greatly delayed making
long detours for the travel out that
way necessary, This is the second
railroad bridge on this pike that has
been repaired by the railroad this
summer. The people are glad to have
the new bridges but they are getting
impatient at the delay in restoring
the structure that was torn down.

Think That Famous Old Institution
Z That Did So Much for Education In
The South is Deserving of this
Recognition.

Protesting against the recommends
tion of the Kiwanis Club that the
proposed city park at the County
High School be- named "Kiwanis
Club and asking that instead it be
named the Athehaeum Park in com
moration of one of the greatest schools
in the South of its day and which was
located on these grounds, the FEEDER
al Woman's clubs of Columbia has
presented to President w. s. Beaslay
a strong petition. The Kiwanis Club
is strongly commended for it's activi-
ties in establishing fairgrounds, but it
is asked to perpetuate a historical
name in christening the park
The old Athenaeum school held in
reverence by so many of the splendid
women of the old South, was great
institution. 1t was founded by the late
Rector Smith who was so greatly be-
loved that when his death occurred
in 1866 every business house in Co
lumbia was closed that the people
might all attend the funeral 1t was
one of the largest concourses of peo-
pie who have ever attended funeral
in this county.
The letter of the federated clubs to
President Beasley is as follows:
