LEGISLATURE VOTES
FOR INTEREST LAW
Both Houses Pass Bill Increasing
Contract Rate to Eight Per Cent.

The contract rate of interest in
Tennessee was increased from to 8
per cent Tuesday when the Legisla-
ture passed House Bill No. 39s over
the veto of Gov. Aft A. Taylor.
Opponents of the measure managed
to delay action on the veto message
during the first half of the session,
hoping that during the three weeks
recess the members of the two houses
might "hear from their folks at
home" and come back prepared to
sustain the Governors veto.
However this proved not to be the
case. The House passed the bill by
a vote of 81 to 26. two representa-
tives not voting. The vote in detail
was:
Senator McGinness led the fight in
the Senate to sustain the Governors
veto. He declared that 80 per cent
of the people OF the State were op-
posed to the eight per cent contract
rate of interest. He said it would
work a serious handicap upon the
borrowers of money and would only
benefit the lenders. He appealed to
the Democrats of the Senate to sus-
tain the Governors action.
The Republicans took advantage
of the Democrats inclination to ia
vor the bill by adding many of their
votes to rass it over the Governors
veto, believing that the Democrats
would be held solely responsible and
that it would work to the benefit of
the Republican party at the, next
election.
The Senate voted rs to for it's
passage
Representative Simpson of David
son, introduced bill in the House
providing for the lcvying of tax of
one-quarter of mill upon all taxable
property III the State for the year
1922 and annually thereafter, to
create fund tc be used by the board
of trustees of the Tennessee State
FaiT-Nashville Tonnessean.

Mr.. Chas. Rock, editor of the
Humboldt Courier Chronicle, was a
guest of the Lions Club in Union City
last Tuesday in the interest of the
Meridian Highway, running from
good roads people at all hours and
all places, and the Union City Lions
readily agreed with Mr.. Rock that
the Meridian should be one of the
objective routes in Obion County.
The Memphis to Bristol first, the jeff
Davis second and the Meridian third,
and we are to pull for all these roads.

PLENTY EXCITEMENT
FOR JULY FOURTH
Boy Scouts at Cotton Mills Planning
For Big Day-Two Balls Games
and Plenty Fireworks.

For those who want excitement or
entertainment on the Fourth Able
vile offers unusual attractions next
Monday. Two baseball games are to
be played between the Abbeville Cot
ton Mills team and Honea Path, one
in the morning and one in the after
noon, and at night there is to be a
display of fireworks that has never
before been approached in this city.
Those who have seen the fireworks
at State fairs and other places where
there are very large gatherings will
know what. an attraction Abbeville is
offering. This is not an ordinary COL
lection of fire crackers, sparklers and
Roman candles; it is not a lot of
noise and smoke and danger. 1t is
an exhibition that includes pieces of
marvellous beauty. There will be a
total of more than one hundred
pieces few of which have ever before
been equaled in this county. Some
of the set pieces are Aladdin's Jew
eled Tree, the Blazing Sun, Japan
ese Fan, the Cascade and the Indian
Jugglery. There will be several mag
nesium torches, the brightest light
made. There will be showers of stars
and streams of fire of all colors.
This display has been purchased
by the Boy Scouts of the Abbeville
Cotton Mills at a cost that would
make it real financial risk if it
were not certain that it would at
tract large crowd Of people. The
boys are asking only a small ad-
mission to the baseball park where
the display is to be shown and they
hope to have at least a thousand
spectators when the first cannon sa-
lutte is fired at e:30 p. m.
The baseball, too, is sure to be
tine exciting kind. Honea Path and
:ibbeville have met twice before dur
ing this season with the result that
each team has won one game AMI
even the total scores made by each
side in both games are tied. The To-.
cal team is stronger than it was and
expects to break the tie by winning
both games Of this double header
::..!ough it is sure to be a close fight.
The first game will be played at 10
o'clock in the morning and the sea-
ond at $3.50 in the afternoon.

Disarmament Accepted.

Washington, June 30.-Senate
amendments to the naval appropria-
tion bill generally met with disfa-

a bureau of aeronautics in the navy

which it makes provision, and if it
is rushed to the president for his
signature to become effective at mid

BIG CHANGES IN
ANGLO-JAPANESE PACT
Predicted it Will Be Mere Shadow of
Former Self Smuts will Urge
Mutual Understanding.

London, June 30.-The Anglo-Jap
anese alliance is not to be renewed
in it's present form, it has already
been made abundantly clear, al,
though the discussion of the treaty
by the conference of British premiers
has just begun.
While Arthur ]. Balfour and Lord
Curzon, the only members of the con-
ference thus far who have dealt with
the subject, used due diplomatic
caution in their speeches according
to information which may be re-
garded as authoritative they left an
impression that while the British
government would like to have some
form of understanding with Japan it
is not inclined to continue the pres
ent purely military agreement.
1nasmuch therefore, as Premier
Melgnen OF Canada and Premier
Smuts of South Africa will strongly
urge. against an alliance of any kind,
but will advocate British-American
japanese understanding instead, the
clear prospect is that if the alliance
is renewed at all it will be little more
than shadow of it's former self.
Premier Meighen prepared for to-
days conference a stated case against
the alliance which, it is understood
will be circulated in the conference
as a confidential document.
General Smuts, who is to follow,
will support Premier Meighen and
will in all likelihood, attack the whole
foreign policy of special alliances
and will urge instead, mutual un-
derstanding with nations throughout
moral and intellectual sympathy"
