OLD TIPTONIAN
DIES AT MEMPHIS HOME

Lavalette L. Hunt, who was widely
known as the Beau Brummel Of
Memphis during reconstruction days
and is well remembered by many
grandmothers of today, to whom he
paid court when they were reigning
bellies, died yesterday afternoon. He
was born at Mason, Tenn, about
1887, but had lived in this city since
early childhood. Until recently Mr..
Hunt had enjoyed excellent health,
despite the fact that he was an octo-
genarian. But he ruptured an artery
in his head several days ago and his
death was due to cerebral hemor-
rhage.
Mr.. Hunt, who served in the Con-
federate army during the Civil war,
was q connecting link with the mod
ern day and the long agone period
Of West Tennessee history before the
war of 1872. He was a protege Of
Kenneth ferguson, of Wapponoca
plantation, in Arkansas, and from
his lips heard the thrilling story of
how Abraham Lincoln, while log
rafting down the Mississippi, had
been waylaid and robbed, later be
ing assisted back to his Northern
home by Ferguson.
Prior to and after the Civil war
Mr.. Hunt and his two brothers were
engaged in the mercantile business.
They also had large plantation at
Randolph, which at one time prom
Used to become the metropolis of
West Tennessee until its business
progress was overshadowed by Mem
phis. When Mr.. Hunt first came to
Memphis the city was only strug-
Cling riverside village and practic-
ally. all its business activity, he used
to say, was centered along Front
street, in the vicinity of the present
Shelby county jail.
Although he was a great dandy
and beau, Mr.. Hunt never married.
He was a leader in social circles,
especially during postbellum days,
and was considered an eligible by
manv "mammass with manageable
daughters.
Besides a nephew, L. 7. Hunt, Mr..
Hunt is survived bv two nieces, Miss
Elizabeth Hunt and Mrs. John Webb,
all of Buntyn. Funeral services will

DRAFT DESERTERS
TO BE GIVEN SHOCK

Washington, January 11-Draft
deserters whose fears have been
lulled to rest for more than two years
OF security from prosecution are
about to receive an unpleasant sur
prise, for the names of 1891 of
them are shortly to be published in
their "home town" sections, a pre-
liminary step to bringing them to a
speedy trial, the war department an
nOunced recently.
Publication of names in local news
papers is expected to aid materially
in apprehending offenders, as it is
believed that most persons knowing
the whereabouts Of a draft deserter
will be only too willing to volunteer
the information. Much aid is also
anticipated from members of the
American Legion, which has c9nsis-
tently urged the department to take
action against draft delinquents.
The greatest care viii be exercised
in making up the list Of deserters,
lest the names Of innocent men be in
cluded, department officials stated.
Already 151 1854 men have been found
to have been Improperly reported as
deserters by state adiutants general
and local draft b ards. These errors
were rectified by the adiutant gen
erals department, which has Just
completed examination of the records
of 489,009 registrants, reported as
deserters.
The lists are carefully checked
against the record of the men who
served in the army, navy and marine
corps during the war, in order tt
eliminate the names of men who
actually rendered service, but over
looked the formality of notifying the
local draft boards.
The department announcement de-
fines "wiful draft deserters" as men
who registered under the provisions
of the selective draft law. but failed
to report for military duty at the
time and place specified Under the
law they are held to have been in

CENSUS RECORDS BURN
IN WASHINGTON BLAZE

Washington, January 10-Valuable
records. dating back to 1850, when
the first enumeration Of the United
States was taken, were destroyed
today in fire of undetermined ORR
gin at the Department of Commerce.
The records included figures from
every census up to the present one,
and officials said it would be days
before even an estimate of the dam
age could be given. The blaze origi-
mated in the basement Of the COM
merce building and five alarms
quickly brought every piece of APP
paratus in downtown Washington to
the scene and more than 20 lines of
hose completed the damage done to
the records by pouring tons of water
through windows into the vaults
where the records were kept.
During The two and a half hours
which firemen fought the blaze,
three firemen We're overcome by
smoke and taken to the hospital
Among them was Frank Newman,
recipient of the 1920 bravery medal
A Waterman, who discovered the
fire, said that he was making his
rounds in an upper part of the IL
story structure and went down to the
basement, tracing smell of smoke
he had noticed. He found the car
penter shop and engine room full Of
smoke.
With smoke pouring from the
basement windows, fireman quickly
broke them and turned streams Of
water into the vaults where the CEN
sus records were kept.
According to T. ]. Fitzgerald,
chief clerk Of the census bureau.
records of the census of 1890 were
kept stacked outside the vaults and
these were destroyed bv both fire
and water. In the vaults were
stacked aisle after aisle of records
dating back to 1890 and arranged
according to years up to 1910 The
1920 records were kept on an upper
floor and were not damaged. Asked
as to what damage the fire had done,
Mr. Fitzgertld said that the actual
fire loss was very slight, but the
records DESTROYED "could not be re-
placed if we had the entire wealth
Of the United States at our disposal.
There are nc dunlicates."
TIE records, Mr.. Fitzgerald said.
were used bv the war department,
for draft data, bv the internal reve-
nue. bureau, bv the treasure depart
ment and otter were consulted when
citizenship rights were to be es-
tablished.

NEW PLANK IN PATRIOTIC

,PERSHING SLATED AS
NEXT CHIEF OF STAFF

Gen. John ]. Pershing is to be the
next chief of staff of the United
States army, according to infor-
nation given out Saturday in high
army circles.
The present chief of staff, Mai.
Gen. Pecton G. March, will cease
automatically to be entitled to that
rank or position, and will send his
resignation to President Harding,
probably on March A.
Army chiefs say the designation
by President Harding Of Gen. PERISH
ing as chief of staff will remove one
Of the most grotesque anomalies in the
army establishment. Gen. Pershing
is the generalissimore Of the whole
army Of the United States, but he
can not issue any order except by
leave Of a major general who hap
pens to be chief of staff. There will
be nothing homogeneous, the authori-
ties say, in Gen. Pershing being
generalissimo and chief of staff at
the same time. In fact. there is not
much honor or glory in being general
over an army without power to COM
mand anything or anybody.
It is understood that when Gen.
March retires from office as chief Of
staff he viii receive some assignment
worthy of his work in the army dur
ing the period of the war.
Another high officer about whom
there is some interesting comment
is Maj. Gen. Enoch Fl. Crowder, who
is to be retired as a lieutenant general
if a bill which has passed the Senate
goes through the House. Gen. Crow
der is the official who took a small
body Of Cubans to the Chicago con
ventiOn in order that they might
study the inside workings of how
presidents of the United States are
nominated and elected.
Gen. Crowder now is in Cuba en-
deayoring to show the Cubans how to
agres on who is president Of the
island. 1t is the understanding
that If he does not succeed in recon-
cling the two presidential lcandi-
dates in Cuba and they nrefer civil
war, the United States will be obliged
to stem in with an army to safe
guard American and foreign interests
and remain there until Cuba is once
more on her feet politically.
The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1921-01-13
STRAWBERRY ACREAGE WILL
BE INCREASED

That farmers are not willing to
risk their entire income on the price
of cotton next fall is shown by the
fact that more than 200 acres Of
strawberries were pledged at meet
ing held in the courthouse last Sat
urday. This meeting was held UNI
der the auspices of the Upton County
Berry Growers Association, which
Is already well organized and has
been in successful operation for the
past several years, and was an en-
thusiastic meeting. With the acre
age that has been pledged in the
lower part Of the county, there will
be 4 total Of over 500 acres in the
county. The fact that the berries
win be planted in small fields Of
from one TO five acres means a great
deal, as 1t shows the general TEN
dency to have more than one crop to
depend upon and that the farmer
wants to gain experience before he
plants larger acreage. It viii be
4 great time for the county when
every farmer produces some food and
feedstuff and more than one crop
to depend upon for his cash.

ALLEGED "cON" MEN
ARE SENT TO ATLANTA

Seven members Of the alleged
CON gang captured in a hotel III
Memphis have travelled around the
world and have left their impress
siOns in many large cities.
The personnel Of the syndicate IS
composed of men and women from all
parts Of the United States and
Canada, who, it is alleged, have
banded together to fleece" the
"lambs" who prove easy victims in
"get-rich-quick" schemes. Through
the capture in Memphis of the gang
Of crooks the backbone Of the syn-
dictate is believed to have been
broken. One of the biggest deals
which they are said to have ma
nipulated occurred in Memphis last
spring, when a Henning, Tenn, man
lost $4,000 over night.
A farmer from 0bion, Tenn.
recognized two Of the gang as the
ones who fleeeed him some months
ago. He claims they took all his
earnings Of the last rs years, for
which he had labored hard on the
farm.

BAsKET BALL THIs VEL

The two town teams Of basketeers
will stage two fast games here FRI
day night, when they take on the
trained and heavy teams from the
University of Tennessee Medical
College and Ridgely. The regular
lineup Of Ramblers will take on the
college doctors, while the Rambler
Reserves will 90 into action against
the team from Ridgeley This lat
ter team has the name Of being
town team Of no small ability, being
composed Of former players in va
rious prep schools and colleges Of
the state.
The local athletic authorities are
having some trouble in locating
teams that are we'll enough trained
to take on the Coyington Ramblers.
There are many teams Of the right
class, Of course, but to secure them
the basket ball managers would have
to guarantee larger amounts of
money for expenses. than is justified
by the average gate receipts in the
past
The two games Scheduled for this
week will be first-class games and
will be all that spectators can desire
from the standpoint of action and
thrills. The Ramblers are in good
and ready for the initial
toss-up. Parker has about recovered
from the injury received some time
ago and will be on the floor Friday
night unless some new ailment arises.
Willie Moore, his running mate at
guard, has returned to the city and
is in good shape. With big Mcbride
at forward to handle the baskets and
Moose or Whitley at forward or CEN
ter, the line-up is in fine travelling
condition. John Mcbride, former
star of the High School in other
years, IFS back on the floor, and
should his condition warrant his go
ing into the game, will give a good
account Of his training and expert
ence.
The Rambler Reserves are de-
termined to make good their ability
to toss the ball in regular fashion
and to redeem their recent trimming
at the hands of the Covington Col
lege bows during the holidays.
Games win be called at 8 D. m.
