DR. BROUGH STILL
 IN CRITICAL STATE.

The condition of Charles H. Brough former governor, has remained pract- ically unchanged during the last 24 hours, it was announced last night from the residence. 1404 Scott street It was said that although the patient has exhibited a few favorable sym ptoms, he still is critically i'll. Dr. Brough expressed pleasure yes terday morning when he received q long letter. written in longhand, from William Jennings Bryan at his winter home in Miami. Fla, expressing regret over Dr. Brough's illness and hope for his restoration to health.
 Dr. o. A. Carruth, who has been in constant attendance on the ex-gov- ernor, last night issued the following statement concerning Dr. Brough's ill ness:
 Apparently, Dr. Brough has suf- fered complete callapse. He was an unusually active and energetic man as governor. His activities in his of flee were strenuous and his duties ex acting, exaggregated on account of the war and it's attendant activities. Dr. Brough labored under high tension constantly He was so constituted tenn peramentally that his whole strength was thrown into his every effort. He never spared himself He responded to every call, not alone in his native state, but in practically every state in the nation. This constant tension used up his vitality to such an extent that in his present illness, when there was demand for reserve strength, there was none to be had. Although in critical condition, it is rema rkable fact that Dr. Broughs mind is clear and always alert. He is keenly inter ested in current matters, and always solictious about the welfare of his friends.-Gazette.

WOMEN VOTERS

There seems to be some confusion
among the women as to the qualifi
cations necessary to vote in the com
ing Democratic primary election and
. great many think that voting will
subject them to poll tax and that
they, will not have to pay poll tax
unless they vote.
Any white woman who believes in
the principles of the Democratic
party and who will support the nomi-
nees Of the primary and who is over
n years of age, or who will be 81
by August, 1922, may vote in this
election. All residents Of Districts
Nos. !, Z and 8 must be registered at
least 20 days before the date of the
election. A supplementary registra-
ton, giving those who have not reg
istered an opportunity to do so, will
be held in all three of the districts
before the time limit expires
Women will not be required to nav
poll tax to vote in this election, nor
will they be required to register out
side the three districts named.

BUILD THE JEFF DAVIS HIGH.
WAY

Upton county officials, with the
consent of the county court, have
agreed to comply with the rules and
regulations Of the State Highway
Department as to making payments
for work on the Jeff Davis highway,
and the county court has now passed
a resolution asking that the south
end of this road be let to contract at
The earliest possible moment. This
should by all means be done. As we
understand it, the policy Of the fed
eral government is to build continu-
GUS lines, and, as it is usually ex-
pressed, "start somewhere and go
somewhere"
The completion Of this line from
Covington to Millington will let three
big counties into Memphis at any
season Of the year and will accommo-
date great number Of tourists at
the same time.
Memphis is in many respects the
buying and selling market of the
people in this section and with this
division Of the road incomplete, they
are not much better off than if the
road had not been started at all.
A large part Of Upton county's
share Of the money for this end of
the road Is in the bank and is avail.
able and the remainder can be Sc
cured as it is needed. Therefore, we
say build this road,
The bridges on this, road are in
bad condition and have not been re-
built because it was thought that the
highway would be built and this item
Of expense saved. Our people need
the work and we need the road.
Gentlemen Of the State Highway De-
partment, let's build it.

THE R, E. LEE HIGHWAY

From press reports we note that
the Lee highway, beginning at
Washington and running through
Virginia, Tennessee and on west to
Los Angeles, is to follow the Mem
phis-to Bristol from Nashville to
Memphis If this plan IS consummated
it will mean quite a good deal to
Tipton county. It will mean that this
road will be a great national hien-
way instead Of state road, as was
ORIGINALLY intended. It win mean.
too, that some day in the future
this road viii likely be on the list
for federal maintenance along with
other transcontinental lines. Two
big national highways in Upton
county win mean much in the coun-
tvs DEVELOPMENT. Let's do all we
can to encourage it.

sHERWOODS OoZE MELODY
ALL OXER LYRIC THIS WEEK

The Sherwoods and their singing or

THE MONKEY SHIMNdEY
Is TILE I-ATERr DANCE

-
Discovered at last-the latest dance.
1t is the Monkey Shimmey" and Is
done by a monkey at Keiths this week.
Two welltrained monkeys are intro
duced by Mignonette Kokin and Fred
Galetti in the last act on the bill. l am
saying that this entertaining act is the
last one on the bill because so few peo-
pie see "last" act at Keiths. Why peO
pie make a mad dash to the door when
the last act is flashed, is more than 1
know
Seated on a miniature stage is a mon
key playing some drums and in the CEN
ter Of this little stage Is Madame Mon
key the original shimmey dancer. II she
wasn't, maybe her great grandmother
was. Anyway, Madame Monkey is some
dancer She makes her shoulders shake
like tree trembles in a storm. It's
good fun.
I know that It is not considered con-
ventional to open a review with a mon
key" discussion. The feature Of the bin
is Henry Santrey and his Syncopated
Society Band Mr.. Santrey does not play
instruments as Ted Lewis. the king Of all
JAZZ players, does Santrey gets off to u
calm start, but the ending is a whirl-
wind. He has a number of songs never
heard here before and his band is about
90 per cent responsible for the great sue
cess Of this set Santrey's best number
is broadway Blues" This act tied up
proceedings yesterdcT afternoon and had
everything its own way. As long as an
audience wants to hear Sautrey and his
band, they viii play. Never have l seen
a company as generous with their en-
cores as is this organization.
The Weaver Brothers, known as the
Original Handsaw Musicians, demonstrate
that even an old saw has a tune In it.
These men get melody out OF a pitchforA
as well as saws. They are easily one
OF the winners on this bill.
The author Of the sketch, diamond
Cut Diamond" appears to have taken an
oath before writing It that the main OBJ
ject was TO fool the audience. The OBJ
ject is easily accomplished. The sketch
is used to exploit the talents OF Miss

to like to be fooled.
