form of a letter informing them
that their pet bill has been passed?
Wouldn't that be romantic.
The Legislative programs" that
each Of the many national wom-
ans organizations have planned
are formidable affairs indeed. And
some of these bills conflict with
each. other.
For instance the blanket enact
ment that the National Woman's
Party are working for, the Con-
stitutional amendment, which will
give women equal rights and equal
responsibilities conflicts with tho
many welfare bills for tho bene-
fit of women and children. such
as the eight-hour law for women.
etc.
The Consumers League and the
National Woman's Trade Union
League are bitterly opposed to
this proposed amendment. So you
see Congress would in any event
have a difficult time satisfying all
the women at the same time, rs
hard a time as the man with the
donkey crossing a bridge in one Of

The League Of Women Voters
concentrated on the Sheppard
Towner maternity and infancy aid
bill this year, and on the 23rd of
November, Thanksgiving Eve, the
bill became a law.
Since then they have been con-
centrating on the Curtis bill grant

this bill on the eve of Christmas,
but suppose they were afraid Of
establishing a precedent and get

and state energy will make for pro.
gress. During the campaign the ef.
fort to create I department of public
welfare won friends because it was
general in character but several mem.
bers Of Congress who want a depart
ment of education say that every
part of the ten departments of the
Government is supposed to have for
its object the public welfare and what
is desired at present is a department
to promote education. Here is the
way Mr.. Harding expressed himself
during the campaign, and it is declar-
ed by those who have seen him re-
Gently that he hasn't changed his
views:
Indeed, education is SO intimately
related to every phase OF human well
fare and is to the perpetuation OF our
free institutions that it must be con-
sidered of primary Importance in any
program for social betterment.. So
important is education to the life of
the nation and so extensive is it's
work that it has been proposed to es-
tablish federal department Of edl-
cation and to conduct research and
carry on investigation in the field of
education and to encourage and assist
the states and local communities in
the promotion of education. The fed
eral government has established the
precedent of promoting education. 1t
has made liberal grants of land and
money for establishment and support
OF colleges of agriculture and me-.
chanical arts, and in more recent
years has made appropriations for vo-
education and household arts.
Without interfering in any way with
the control and maragemet of pub
lie education by the states, the feder-
al government could extend aid to the
states for the promotion of physical
the Americanizatiou of the
foreign born. the eradication of illit-
eracy, the better training of teachers.
and for promoting free educational
opportunities for the children Of all

this behalf it would be we'll to state
that the number who expressed dis
satisfaction was indeed small. There
was absolutely no chance for any un-
fairness for following the day tina,
the suit was given away, quite num-
Der of people visited the store who
stated that they held tickets tina,
would have won the suit had they
been present. In spite of the fact
that the. suit was won fairly, Mr..
Reed upon hearing the first note
of dissatisfaction, ordered that an
other suit be given away at once, but
many who knew that the entire mat
ter was perfectly clear, restrained
him from doing SO.
The Reed Mercantile Company has
always stood four-sQuare and Mr..
Reed is eager to have any one who
might have misunderstood the matter
to come in and talk with him in
person.

cRossvILLE, TENNESSEE, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY as 1871,
SHOT TO DEATH At CuFTY


Sunday. January IS, at 800 p. m
OH, Campbell shot and Instantly
killed Beeeher Mccormick. at Cliifty
White county. The kiilink was dom
in self defense, it seems.
/! Our information is that the condi
tions are about as follows: BeeeheI
Mccormick was drunk and had bees
abusive to numerous persons. He
Ihad threatened to kill his wife and
she succeeded in securing his pisto
land dropping it in rain barrel. and
then left the house for fear he would
sdo-her violence. He hunted. for, hei
carrying a double-bitted axe and said
he would kill her on sight. He did
mot find her but went to the home OF
Otis Campbell, broke down the door
and grabbed Campbell as he was try
ing to escape from the room. He told
Campbell he would beat his brains out
with club and started to grab \
stick of wood. Campbell succeeded
in getting hold Of his No.2s Colts
Automatic pistol. that was lying on
the dresser. Mccormick grabbed the
hand that held the pistol and with
his other hand attempted to choke
Campbell. Campbell succeeded III
turning the pistol toward Mccormick
and began working it. The first shot
hit Mccormick in the lower part of
the breast and he at once began to
sink toward the floor with the result
that Campbell shot a row Of bullets
into his breast and up to the neck.
One ball severed the jugular vein and
the last one grazed the shoulder. An,
one of the 6rst four shots would have
been fatal.
Campbell was arrested and bound
to court, but the feeling is general
that he will come clear and the killing
is considered to have been done In
self defense. Campbelrs wife fed
from the house when Mccormick
broke the door and there were no
other than Mccormick
and the dead man.
An inquest was held and Campbell
admitted the killing. Mccormick has
been under indictment for some
months on the charge Of disturbing
public worship. He seems to have
been rough and bad citizen, when
under the influence Of dirk.
The remains were taken to Pleasant |
Hill Monday following the killing
and buried in the Browntown ceme-
terry. The dead man leaves a wife |
and four or five children.

iotaI for county IO,oQ4
Crossville is like most towns. There
are quite number of persons living
just outside the corporate limits that
justly belong to the town. If all these
were counted Crossville would easily
60 over the 1000 mark, which is the
estimate that has been placed upon
our population for the past year or
two.
1t will be noticed that under the
law touching voting. the fourth dis
trict will become subject to the
Dortch Law method of voting as the
law states that all districts contain
ing $500 inhabitants or more must
vote inaccordanee with the Dortcls
Law. just as IS now the case in the
First district, which comprises ti,
voting precincts Of Crossville, Cres-
ton. Clifty, Pomona and Pleasant Hill.
1t seems there is a bill under con-
sideration by the legislature now,
which, il enacted into a law, will like
ly place the entire state subject to
the Dortch Law. 1t is generally ad-
mitted that this is aimed at the color
ed voter.
