NON. \. CLAY EVANS
FOUND DEAD IN BED
Heart Failure Supposed to Have Been
Cause of Death; Was
78 Years Old.

H. Clay Evans was found dead in
bed at his home in Chattanooga Mon
day He was 78 years of age and had
been a notable figure in Republican
political life in the state for a gener-
alton.
He had held many positions of trust
and distinction during his long pollt-
ical career. He was twice elected
mayor of Chattanooga, served in con-
gress from the third district, Consul
General to London, England, Commis-
sioner of Pensions and held numer-
ous other positions of trust. He was
twice candidate for governor, having
been once elected in the face of the
returns but was counted out by a
democratic committee appointed by
the legislature. He was also candidate
for U. S. Senator from this state. He
had been for many years a wealthy
manma acturer, but few years ago
sold his plant in Chattanooga ana ie-
tired from business
Death is supposed to have been due
to heart failure as he was found with
smile on his face, lying as though
death had come in his sleep. He died
as he had always wished to. He was
feeling we'll when he retired Sunday
night and had been unusually we'll
for some days previous to death.

both the candidates for the school
board were opposed to retaining Lyles
but one. V. l.. Lewis was classed that
way.
Friday morning. Trustee T. F.
Brown found key broken off in the
lock to his office door. No one who
understands the situation to any de-
gree thinks an effort was being made
to enter the office of the trustee with
the hope or expectation of securing
money for it is well known that
Trustee Brown does not leave money
in his office over night. 1t is gem
orally accepted that the object was
to secure blank tax receipts 50 that
poll tax receipts might be written and
dated back so the holders could vote
in the city election. The law requires
that poll tax receipts must be secur-
ed sixty days before the date of cleo
ton for the holder to be eligible to
vote on same. II is well known that
quite number who were opposed to
retaining I,ylcs did not have a poll
tax receipt. Very likely there were
some who favored Lvles in like ti~.
The beauty and usefulness of the
secret ballot-which is known in this
state as the Dortch Law-was DEM
onstrated in most gratifying man
ner. Those who canvassed the vote
stated that never before had they seen
such universal mixing of the ticket
by voters. 1t was very evident that
when the voters "got in the little
box with their ballot and their Cod"
they voted as they pleased. When
such conditions prevail, the cause of
right rarely fails to win.

interview that Germany is earnestly

and perhaps even before. London and
Paris will be deluged with bombs

"The Germans then will bomb fac

The Germans are not changed by war.
Some day one Of the Hohenzollerns

Saone the total Of births for the year
was $50 and that Of deaths 500 only,
whereas the figures for 1919 had been,
births 400 and dedths 571. In Toulon

that of deaths, something that has not
happened for thirty years From Or
leans satisfactory figures have also
been communicated, and at Dieppe the
number of births exceeded by 80 per
cent the number Of deaths.
