SPECIAL SCHOOL
DISTRICT REMAINS
Supreme Court Holds That Act
Of 1921 Does Not Repeal
Former School Dis. Act.

A decision by the supreme COURT
of Tennessee, rendered Saturday at
Knoxville, sets at rest a question that
has given grave concern to many
throughout the state for the past
several months.
This decision has to do with the
school question, the supreme court
holding that the act of 1921 creating
county boards Of education does not
repeal former acts of the legislature
which created special school districts.
Therefore the Dresden special school
board, as well as all others in the
county, is not legislated out of Of
flee and will function as heretofore.
At least, this is the way leading
members of the bar interpret the de-
cision of the supreme court. The
case was one where special district
high school brought suit against the
county board Of education in one of
the East Tennessee counties, the SUI
preme court holding in favor of the
special school district board. The de-
cision is lengthy one and sets out
in detail the duties devolving upon
the newly created county boards of
education.

Chevrolet Car De-

The Chevrolet car of Bob Estes,
but driven by Jimmie Martin, color
ed, was burned here Saturday on the
hill east of town in front of Jimmie's
home.
The negro had driven the car out
there in the afternoon and when he
attempted to crank it to return to
town the thing "back-fired" and
ignited either grease or leaking gas
oline, probably the latter from a
flooded carbueratOr, and in an in
slant the car was ablaze all over.
Fire extinguishers were rushed
out from town, but got there too
late and the car was total loss, ex-
cept the frame and heavy metal
parts. There was some insurance on
the car.

Popular Man Strick-
en- With Paralysis

Mr.. En- Carney, the we'll known

stricken with paralysis Saturday
night at his home in Dukedom. Mr..
Carney had gone home from the
store. He was in his usual health
when suddenly stricken. The entire
left side is effected and Mr.. Carney
has been unconscious since the
stroke. The attending physicians hold
out little hope for his recovery.
There has been no more popular
man in that whole section than En-
Carney and his legion of friends
profoundly regret this affliction.

Carney on Tuesday evening at 6!3O.

ments had not been completed, pend

CONFESSED SLAYER
OF WALTER MORGAN
TO BE BROUGHT HERE

All the correspondence between
the officials of Martin and of St
Louis in. the alleged confession of
the negro held in St. Louis who
claims to be the assassin of Night
Waterman Walter Morgan at Martin
several years ago has been turned
over to Gen. Tom Morris at Union
City. Gen. Morris will doubtless or
der the cullprit back here for trial
as soon as he can go thoroughly into
the matter, which he is now doing.
The genuineness of the Negroes con-
fession is not doubted by those ia
mhar with the facts.
1t will be remembered that when
the negro was tried here for the
murder of Morgan there was intense
excitement and a number of citizens,
firmly convinced of his guilt, wanted
to mob him, and but for the protec-
tion given the negro by Judge Jones,
who adjourned court and conducted
the negro to an awaiting automobile,
the negro would doubtless have been
killed here. Judge Jones deputized
a dozen men to protect the negro and
stated to a crowded, excited court
room that they might kill him, but
that he would shed his last drop of
blood in protection Of the negro who
had been declared innocent of Wal
ter Morgan's murder Doubtless
some Of those who criticised Judge
Jones at that time will feel they now
owe him an apology, whether they
make it or not.

.GRAVELED DRIVE
WAY AT. CEMETERY
Moran Brothers Generously
Donate the Gravel. Citizens
Responding to Call

Through the energy, the hard
work and the shrewd management of
the ladies composing the Dresden
Cemetery Association, of which
Mrs. I. M. Little is the jealous pres
ident, the driveways at the Dresden
cemetery are to be graveled at once.
Seven cars of garvel have been
donated for this purpose by Messrs.
Harrell and James Moran but the
freight must be paid, as well as the
item of expense for unloading.
These will total about $500 Already
a part of this has been taken care OF,
but the ladies of the association are
soliciting the remainder.
Everyone having lot at the ceme-
terry is urged to make liberal con-
tribution. Those who have lots at
the cemetery and who own teams are
asked to contribute hauling in lieu
of cash contribution. These seven
cars of gravel will have to be un-
loaded and hauled and already some
of the farmers near town have vol
agreed to assist in the haul
ing. Are there others who want to
see the cemetery beautified and who
will help The gravel is expected
here every day.

Austin Peay Will
Run for Governor

GAINESVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 20.-The
Hon. Austin Peay, of GAINESVILLE will
again seek the nomination for gov
ernor at the hands of the democrat
ic voters in the primary next August.
He has written a letter answering
the opportunities of his friends, in
which he says that he has determined
to make the race, but that it is too
early yet to issue detailed state
ment as to his position on the ques-
tions at issue in the campaign.
Mr. Peay was a candidate against
A. H. Roberts for the nomination in
1918, and made a good race. He
took his defeat in good grace and
supported the ticket throughout.
His candidacy at that time indicated
that he is popular with the people,
but the fact that Judge Roberts had
taken an early. start. in the race and
had lined up his forces before Mr..
Peay announced, made it a handi-
cap that could not be overcome As
he stated at the outset of his
previous canvass, Mr.. Peay reasserts
that he is not attracted by the ''glare
and notiriety" of the governorship,
and that he has a genuine dislike for
the "sham and buster of politics"
