COUNTY HIGHWAY
COMMISSION MEETS

At the meeting of the County Board
Of Highway Commissioners held
Monday, Superintendent Of Roads J.
W. Darby reported that 1876 miles of
road had been graded this year with
the big caterpillar tractor and
grader at cost of $17.S4 per mile.
This cost includes repairs on both
grader and tractor and all expenses
of running the outfit. The commits
sion was so well pleased with the
work done and the cost that plans are
being made to purchase at least one
other machine in the spring. If this
is done enough road will be reserved
out of the contracts in the various
districts to furnish work for the
outfit and pay the cost of running
It. The government has several
hundred caterpillar tractors which
will eventually be distributed for
road building and the commission
will try to get one or more Of these.
but the time of distribution is I'M
certain.
The county has little more than
800 miles Of road and the commission
expects to work more than one-thfrd
OF 1t with county equipment.

RIALTO WOMAN INJURED

Mrs. 0. w. Souder, Of Rialto, was
seriously injured late Friday after
noon in Memphis, when the automo-
bile in which she and Mr.. Souder
were riding was run into by a car
driven by two negroes. Mrs. Souder
was cut about the forehead and nose
and several stitches were takn by the
surgeon who treated her wound.
The collision occurred on the North
Second street road.
The Souders, accompanied by Mrs.
E. G. Dieterle and Mrs. A. A. Run
ner, of Memphis, were on their return
to Rialto from Memphis, when, just
before they reached the Wolf river
bridge, the car driven by the ne
groes is said to have borne down on
them at high rate of speed. In the
crash that followed both cars were
wrecked. The negroes fled.
The car they were using belongs
to Jasper Haines, according to Depu-
ties Barbora and Armour, who inyes-
tigated the accident Friday after
noon when the report was turned in
to the sheriff's office. The officers
say Haines was not in the car at the
time. of the collision.

Red Cross Workers
Meet at Luncheon

Everything is in readiness for the
Red Cross Roll Call to be conducted on
Sunday afternoon, November IL
when the people of Tipton county
will be asked to contribute $4,000 to
the Red Cross, that the work in the
county may be continued. At
o'clock, as the bell of the First Pres
byterian church tolls in memory of
our men who so often went "over the
top" the canvassers will begin their
work, and by o'clock will have visit
ed every home in Covington.
In the morning the ministers of
the county, from their pulpits, will
endorse the Red Cross as an organi-
cation seeking to carry out the prac-
tical teachings of Christ, and will ask
that all become a part Of it and its
work through enrolment. They will
urge that all remain at home on Sun
day until the canvassers have called;
otherwise it will mean extra work for
those seeking to raise the money.
AT noon today at the First Metho-
dist church a Red Cross luncheon was
served by the students of the eco
Monies department of the high school
under the direction of Mrs. Edwin
Hunt. A large number from Coving-
ton and the county attended this lun-
cheon and were enthusiastically
aroused to put the campaign over.
Mr.. Charles p Noell, chairman of
the Roll Call, presided. Mr.. E. H.
McFadden, chairman of the local ex-
ecutive committee of the Red Gross,
and Mr.. Grover C. Crane, field rep
resentative, Southern Division, A. R.
G., were the principal speakers. Rev.
L. D. Hamilton and Rev. w. C. Kerr
delivered the invocations.
Mr.. McFadden very fittingly told
of the large amount of good the Red
Cross has done in the county, con-
GLIDING with the statement that the
Red Cross could not cease activities
here without materially injuring the
whole county. Mr.. Crane told of the
tragedy in the Near East, stating
that over 100000 had been spent in
the last few weeks for relief in their
behalf by the Red Cross. He praised
the good work of the local chapter
and made a strong appeal for its con-
tinuance.
Chairman of committees and mem
bers of the special committee pres
ent pledged loyal and active support
to the Red Cross program Of service.

Parent Teachers
Monthly Meeting

Those who were absent from the
grammar school last Thursday after
noon missed the pleasure of seeing a
large majority of the mothers and a
few of the fathers Of the school chill
dren. The contest in which each
grade is seeing if it can be the winner
in bringing the most persons to these
meetings was, one motive which
brought many out, yet no one was
disappointed, for the program was
splendid.
Mr.. Myers opened the meeting
with prayer, after which musical
solo was beautifully rendered by
Mamie Girdner. Miss Hawkins, Red
Cross secretary, then gave review
of her work as school attendance Of
ficer in the county, telling of many
children who had not attended school
before her visits and who were do
ing so now. After giving brief his
tory of the ups and downs of this Of
flee, she then spoke of the Red Cross
drive on November IL, telling how
the money secured in this drive would
be used.
Miss Elizabeth McClanahan gave
reading, "Percy Fellows" Mrs.
Tatlock read the minutes of the last
meeting and Mrs. Harvey gave a re-
port of the funds collected and paid
out for the lunch room. In the abb
sence of Mrs. Howard Flowers, the
chairman of social activities, Mrs.
Baptist announced the plans for a
high school banquet, to be given on
the night of December 8, in honor of
the 18 boys who have won place
on the football team. The menu was
given and donations of various eat
ables were solicited. to which hearty
response from many of those pres
emit was given. Following this the
meeting adjourned until the first
Thursday in December.
It will probably be of interest to a
great many people to know that the
eighth grade led in the attendance
contest.

Tennessee returned to the Demo-
cratic fold in Tuesdays election by
giving Senator Mcclellan a splendid
majority 4over his Republican OPP
ponent, Newell Sanders, and Austin
Peay a majority of approximately the
same size over his Republican OPP
ponent, Gov A. A. Taylor.
Not only did the Democrats wrest
the governorship from the Republi-
cans by majority of more than 49,
900, but it retrieved three congress-
ional districts from the opposition
that went Republican two years ago.
Judge S. D. McReynolds was elect
ed in the Third district; Cordell Hull,
chairman of the National Democratic
Committee, who went down in the
landslide two years ago, was again
elected from the Fourth district, and
Gordon Browning, who was defeated
two years ago, won the election from
Lon Scott in the Eighth.
Throughout the state Democracy
presented a solid front, except in
Shelby county, where differences be-
tween the Democratic organization
and Mr.. Peay's management cost
Peay something like 5000 votes.
Porter Dunlap was safely elected
over Beasley for railroad commits
sioner. Hubert Fisher, representa-
tive from the Tenth district, had prac-
tically no opposition. The same was
true of Finis Garrett, the leader Of
the minority in the House from the
Ninth district.
Democratic successes were had in
practically every state. Senator
Lodge squeezed through by very
scant majority over his Democratic
opponent in Massachusetts. Other

Ernest McLennan, John Billings, w.
H. Cole, Lee Glass, Ben Faulk, ]. F,

Ed Lewis.
After the organization Of the grand
jury the court proceeded with the
case of w. w. Shears VS.. w. M. Rast
ct al, a civil suit arising out of the
sale of cotton by the defendant. The
jury rendered a verdict in favor of
the plaintiff, w. w. Shears, for $3.50.
The state docket will be taken up

listed, and the court is planning to
dispose Of all of them, if possible.

cases being docketed for trial at this
session of court
Several murder cases are slated
for trial. The case of w. J. Combes,
charged with the murder of his SON
in-law, Dennis Smith, several months
ago, is set for trial on Tuesday. The
defendant will attempt to prove in
this case that he shot and killed
Smith in self-defense.
Sam Clark, colored, indicted for
murder, will most likely be tried at
this term of the court. Clark, it is
alleged, shot and killed a negro man
near Phelan a few months ago.
Joe Myers Dyson, colored will prob
ably be given hearing when the
grand jury renders an Indictment.
Dyson is charged with one of the
most brutal crimes ever committed
in this county. He is accused Of
clubbing his wife to death on the
railroad near Rialto and dragging
her body across the railroad track
and holding her there until a freight
train passed over her body. A full
account of the murder appears in
another column of this paper.
The business of the court will be
completed about Saturday Of next
week, or sooner, depending on the
number of hours in disposing of the
major cases on docket There are
also a number Of non-iury cases to
be disposed Of

Sunday evening at the First Metho-
dist church a memorial service will
be held under the auspices of the
American Legion. 1t will be a union
service of all the churches in Coving-
ron. Rev. L. ]. Sheriff. pastor of the
First Presbyterian church, an ex-
service man and chaplain of the local
American Legion post, will deliver
the memorial sermon on this occas-
ion. Hon. VIM A. Shoaf, Jr., COM
mander of the legionnaires, will pre-
side over the meeting.
The service is an annual event in
augurated by the Legion in memory
of those who made the supreme sac,
rifice in the military service of the
United States during the World war.
Quite number of Upton county boys
were listed among those who fell in
battle, and it is befitting that the
people of this county will join the
ex-service men in paying homage to
Americas dead soldiers.
An elaborate program, consisting OF
patriotic music by the choir, solo
and the memorial address will be car
ried out.
The memorial service follows
Armistice Day, the anniversary on
which the signing of an armistice be-
tween Germany and the allies is cele-
brated. On account of Armistice Day
falling on Saturday this year, it was
decided to omit a local celebration Of
the event and have memorial SER
vice on the following evening.
All ex-service men in Upton coun-
ty, whether or not affiliated with the
Legion, are urged to attend this SER
vice. Special seats will be held in re-
serve for them.
A reeord-breaking crowd is expect
ed, but arrangements will be made to
seat the congregation comfortably in
the large auditorium of the First
Methodist church. If needed, extra
chairs will be placed in the aisles and
class rooms Of the church.
Next week members of the local
Legion will be entertained with a
banquet, at which time officers for
the ensuing year will be elected. Fol
lowing the election a drive will be
made to double the present member
ship of the Legion. 1t has been esti-
mated that approximately 1000 men
from Upton county saw service in the
various branches Of the army and
navy during the World war. Of this
number only small percentage is
connected with the Legion, and it is
planned to give every ex-service man
an opportunity to join.
Most members of the Upton Coun-
ty Post are ex-service men of this
citv. only a few men from the coun-
trv districts having identified them
selves with it. In the next drive for
members an effort will be made to
reach all persons eligible for member
chin

Landslide in Tuesdays Elections Gives
Democrats Gains Throughout Country

Eastern States, including New York,
New Jersey, Delaware, New Hamp-
shire, Indiana and Michigan, went
Democratic.
The Republican losses were occas-
Toned by the defeat of Senator's Du
Pont in Delaware, France in Mary
land, Townsend in Michigan, Kellogg
in Minnesota, Frelinghuysen in New
Jersey, Calder in New York and
Sutherland in West Virginia and of
Albert j. Beveridge and Lynn j.
Frazier in Indiana and North Da-
kota.
Indications from Washington show
C. C. Dill, Democrat, leading Senator
Poindexter, Republican, who may
have been defeated also.
The Democratic loss Of seats was
due to the defeat of Senators Hitch
cock in Nebraska and Pomerene in
Ohio.
The Republicans will have 50 or So
senator's in the Sixty-eighth Con-
gress, compared with 60 now, and the
Democrats will have AZ or 49,, COM
pared with Sc now. There will be one
farm-labor senator, DR.. Shipstead. of
Minnesota, the first member Of that
party to enter Congress.
According to nearly complete re-
turns, the House will be composed of
222 Republicans, 211 Democrats, one
Socialist and one Independent On
the basis of these figures the Repub-
leans will have a majority Of only
nine members. 1t is possible that the
full returns will swing the House to
the Democrats by hair or slightly
increase the present apparent ma
iority of the Republicans. The latter
is the stronger possibility.
