matchless oratory, fairly swept the
large audience off its feet and car

GERMANY BOWS
TO WILL OF ALLIES
Reichstag Accepts UItimatum
Upon Advice Of With. New
Cabinet is Formed

Berlin, May 10.-Germany has
accepted the Allied ultimatum.
The Reichstag tonight by a vote OF
221 to ITS yielded to the final de.
mands Of the Allied powers and
in so doing, agreed to fulfill the
terms of the treaty of Versailles 'to
the capacity" Of the nation to do.
DIR. Wirth, the Centrist leader, fl.
nally succeeded in forming a coali-
ton cabinet composed of Centrists
Majority Socialists and Democrats,
which, confronted by grave necessi-
ty, speedily decided that acceptance
of the ultimatum was the only course.
In making this announcement to
the Reichstag the new chancellor
asked for an immediate decision by
that body, and in the voting which
followed, the government was sus-
tanned.
The Allied ultimatum required a
definite reply, heard on Eyes" or
mo" No conditional reply would be
entertained and the ultimatum was
formulated to expire on the night Of
May IL.
The total sum which Germany is
called upon to pay is $6,750,0OO,-
600; disarmament must be carried
out by Germany in accordance with
the provisions of the treaty and the
trial of war criminals must be put
into effect. Numerous other impor-
tant terms, in which Germany has
been in default, will be enforced.
Noncompliance with the Allied
ultimatum would have subjected
Germany to the occupation by the
Allies of the Ruhr valley and what
ever other military and naval meas
ures were deemed advisable.

DORTCH BALLOT AD-
EXTRAORDINARY
Democratic Primary to Be Held
Sept. IL. New Plan Will Be
Given Try-Out

The new county executive COM.
mittee of the democratic party per-
fected organization here Saturday
afternoon by the election of Attor-
ney J. w. Thomas of the Dresden
bar as chairman, L. E. Holiday,
secretary. Only few of the mem
bers were present in person, the
others being represented by proxy.
The committee ordered a primary
election to be held in each civil dis
trict of the county on Saturday,
September II, between the hours Of
8 a. m, and p. m. All qualified
voters are eligible to participate
therein, or those who will be legal
voters at the next regular election,
which is August Of next year.
A new plan Of making the nomi-
nations for the various county Off
GERS was adopted, which provides
that all the names of all candidates
be placed on one ticket and the vot-
err will indicate his choice by MAX
ing cross (X) mark after the
name Of his choice. This plan is en-
dorsed by some, while many do not
think this the opportune time to try
new plans, arguing that the party
in Tennessee and in Weakley coun-
ty is torn and rent to pieces and
that many of the uninitiated will
not understand the new ballot. On
the other hand, it is argued that
this ballot will serve to educate the
people in voting the regular Dortch
ballot, which will apply to all civil
districts in the county by an act Of
the last legislature.
Candidates for the various Off
ces are now hustling among the,
voters and will be on the go until
the third Saturday lin September,
when the voters will express at the.
polls their preferences,

AN EFFORT To ROB
BANK IS A FAILURE
Robbers Frightened Away
When Citizen Appears ON
Street. Leave Tools

When Mr.. Allen Cloar appeared on
the street at Dukedom last Friday
morning. at about 2 o'clock, he did
not know that he was flushing a
robbery being staged at the Duke
dom bank, nor did he know Of it I'M
til later in the day, when the at
tempted robbery was discovered,
though he saw man running in the
dark.
Mr.. Cloar had occasion to 90 to
the business part of town about Q
o'clock last Friday morning and
called to one of the merchants of
Dukedom rooming in his place Of
business. He saw man run down
the street, but paid little or no at
tention to it. About daylight some
one went down town and discovered
that an attempt had been made to
rob the vault at the Dukedom Bank.
A hole was drilled about half
through the vault, when, it is pre-
sumed, the appearance of Mr. Cloar
frightened the robbers away. In
their hasty retreat they left their
tools-a railroad pick and large
crow-bar- in the bank building.
Entrance had been gained through
a rear window. The parties left in
in a car.
An investigation is being conduct
ed, and with some degree of sue
cess, it is thought.

MRS. EVA LITTLE IS
AWARDED AUTOMOBILE
New Hawk and Owl
Club is Organized

Everybody seems to be feeling
good, now that the weather has
been fair for the past week so the
farmers could make some Roadway
in farming. We believe that the
cotton crop win be planted this
week; also some potatoes will be set
out. Many have slips large enough
and they will have to be drawn at
once.
Mr.. Tom Butler has lately pur-
chased a new Ford car, and is now
learning to drive it.
Mr.. j, M. Tyson has just returned
from Latham, where he had been
visiting kinsfolk. He said as Sun
day was Mothers Day" he would
carry flowers and decorate his wife's
grave. We believe that this day has
only been observed as such since last
year.
The farmers are selling potatoes
now, even if the price is not what
it should be, as the time of year has
arrived that they will have to be
moved.
Bells store now has a hawk and
owl club. There is a prize offered
for the one killing the most of these
despised birds. There will probably
be several who will enter the contest.
There was preaching at Tumbling
Sunday by the regular pastor, Rev.
Powers. The class met and had sing
ing in the afternoon. We understand
that the class has been invited to
New Bethel the fourth Sunday to
sing.
Tumbling literary society will give
good play at Tumbling next Satur-
lay night. Everybody is invited to
come and hear this splendid play,
which is entitled, "Joe, the Wait,
or "Pet of the Camp" This is a
two-hour play of the farce-comedy
variety and has a good moral.
Mr.. P. A. Klutts has been right
sick with rheumatism in the back,
but is reported bettr at this writing.
We want to commend the road
hands over near Bells store, as they
certainly have done some good work
on the roads; such as widening and
Eastman.

Complete Undertake
ing Establishment

We were in the new, up-to-date
undertaking establishment of Win
stead & Jones at Martin the other
day, and were fairly astounded to
see that the county affords so mod
ern place. These young men, for
Years successful merchants at La
than, have arranged every conven-
ience-first, a waiting room with
chairs, desks, davenports, etc, and
second a secluded room where the
baskets are kept from the curious
gaze Of the public, well lighted,
spotlessly clean and where every
casket is on display. Their big new
auto hearse is the latest and most
improved make and they are pre-
pared to do embalming and lay the
dead away in the most approved
style.
