The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1922-11-02


Tearing down fences, lifting gates
from their hinges, carrying away
porch furniture and removing street
crossings at various places over the
city, constituted most of the plumber
and pranks characteristic of Hal
loween celebrations in Covington
The damage done Tuesday night was
comparatively less than is ordinarily
the case, which perhaps was due tt
the fact that municipal authorities
took steps to protect public and priv
ate property by the addition of sew
eral extra watchmen Tuesday night
Extra officers, in charge of As
sistant Marshal j. 0. Hadley, po-
Iced the town very effectively, but 9
group of youths managed to put &
part of their program over here anC
there in spite of the officers
Messrs. E. j. Coats, L. e. Miller
Frigg Chapman, Jim Montgomery
Landon G. Upton and Warren En-.
triken served as extra policemen
Three arrests were made during the
night and each offender was lodged
in the calaboose until morning.
Several cases of damage were re-
ported to the mayor Wednesday
morning. The concrete fence of Mrs
r. S. Calhoun was almost completely
torn down. Flower gardens in a
number of places were invaded and
plundered. The concrete wall around
the yard of Mr.. R. K. Mcbride was
damaged by the removal of several
muge blocks Wooden steps leading
to the sidewalk in front of Mr., A. P,
Smiths residence were lifted from
their position and overturned. Con-
crete blocks from the wall around
the yard of Mrs. Alice Jennings were
torn apart and scattered and several
street crossings were raised from the
ground and dragged into nearby
bitches.
All school buildings and other pub
lie property were guarded closely
against such practices as enumerated
above. A Waterman was stationed
all night at each building, with in
to arrest anyone trespass-
ing. Each Of them reported that no
trouble was encountered in the per-
Torrance of their duty.
Marshal Hadley stated Wednesday
morning that it was necessary to
warn several youngsters against Hal
loween escapades, advising them to
leave the streets and go home.
"A few unseemly pranks were
played Monday night, which was suf-
ficient to impress the impending
dangers of Halloween pranks on the
following night, causing the assign
ment Of additional officers. On ac-
count of past experiences de-
termined effort will be made next
year to prevent the reoccurrence OF
such plundering, according to MEM
Der of the Board Of Aldermen.
One thing very much in favor Of
owners Tuesday night was
the rain and intermitting showers. 1t
kept a large number of youths at
home and drove many others to
cover.
An editor, commenting on the OBJ
servance of Halloween in this coun-
try, is quoted as follows:
"The so-called celebration of Hal
loween has reached point where it
is genuinely dreaded, and the occas-
ion never passes without destruction
Of good deal Of property. Let the
young people have their fun, but
teach them that there is no fun in

HALLOWEEN ENTERTAIN ENT

Messrs. Albert johnson and John
Richmond entertained Saturday

Hon. L. f. Gwinn, of this city, in
statement to the Leader this morn
ing, urges the election of a Demor
cratic governor and a legislature to
uphold his platform pledges, as well
as the entire Democratic ticket He
also expresses the hope that the
Democrats in every district of this
county will go to the polls next Tues
day and give the ticket an old-time
majority. His statement is as fol-
lows:
trust that the Democrats in
every district of the county will per-
feet an organization that will result
in a full Democratic vote next Tues
day. There are but few, if any,
Democrats who will vote for Repub-
Leans, but to stay at home means to
cast half vote for every Republican
nominee on the ticket. Peay for
governor, Mcclellan for the United
States Senate, Garrett for Congress,
Porter Dunlap for railroad commits
sioner, and Frank Gailor for floterial
senator from Shelby and Upton coun-
ties, Ellis for direct, and McClanahan
for floterial representative-all were
nominated in a Democratic primary,
participated in by the Democrats of
this county and state, and everyone
Of them should have the active and
loyal support of every Democratic
man and woman in the county.
Whatever we may think of Gov.
Taylor personally, and he is held in
affectionate regard by large num-
Der of people, the fact is that his ad-
ministration has brought no relief
from high taxes and governmental
extravaganza in Tennessee, and the
people of the state have no good rea-
son to expect either constructive leg
islation or efficient administration
as a result of his reelection. The
only hope for tax reform and eco
nomic and efficient government in
this state lies in the election of
Democratic governor and a legisla-
ture to hold up his hands.
The prospects for a Democratic
victory, both state and national, are
unusually good, and Upton county
ought to do it's full part in redeeming
the state and nation from Republican
rule. We can only do this by getting
out full vote.
In conclusion, want to especially
urge all the Democrats of the county
to support Austin Peay for governor.
He was my competitor in the recens
primary, but now he is your candi-
date and mine by the sovereign will of
the Democratic party in Tennessee.
He is a man of both ability and integ-
rity, and as Upton countians let us
give him the same loyal and generous
support that we would have expected
at the hands of Montgomery county
Democrats if the Upton county can
didate had won the nomination for
governor. We can not in justice to
our county or party withhold this
support, Respectfully,
L. E. GWINN.

The Roll Calhtommittee, under the
direction Of Mn Charles P. NOEL
chairman, is rapidly perfecting plans
for the successful termination of its
efforts on Sunday, November IL
when they will seek to raise $500
for the continuation Of the Red Cross
service in Upton county.
On Tuesday Mr.. w. l.. Owen, chair
man Of publicity, was busy with his
committee placing posters through
out the city, while Mr.. Two McFadder
and his corps of speakers were
active in the county at all meetings
being held. Mr. Peter Fyfe spoke
before a large audience at Burlisor
Tuesday night on the benefit the
Red Cross has been to the commun,
ity.
A gala event will be the Roll call
luncheon to be held Thursday, No
vember 9, at the Methodist church
when the Red Cross will entertain in
honor Of its chairmen and principal
workers in the Roll Call. 1t is ex-
pected that about 80 people will be
served by Mrs. Edwin Hunt and her
high school economic pupils.
At this luncheon certain phases of
the activities of the Red Cross will
be stressed in order that those pres
ent might inform the general public
of the unusual service being rem
dered. 1t will be pointed out that
AS ex-service men alone received as
sistance of some kind and that a
total of 1,100 a month is being
brought into the county as a result of
this assistance. 1t may have been
only a little information that was
needed for a man to get his claim
adjusted, but it was necessary that
trained advice be obtained. This the
Red Cross furnished.
1t viii be emphasized that the
ladies of the community have made
440 garments to be shipped to Eu-
rope. With the Near East Relief so
imperative at this time this bespeaks
well for future activity.
The chapter was extremely busy
among the disadvantaged families
of the county, 257 being helped to
help themselves, while q unfortunate
or crippled children were assisted in
some manner.
To the number of those published
who will assist Mr.. NOEL in the Roll
Call have been added the following:

 Getting a worm cost an early bird it's life recently on the Geneva Coun- try CluD course when golf ball in a long low drive by F. W. Herendeen caught a robin as it rose from a tus- sle with a stubborn angle worm. Kill ing of the bird in this manner is es- pecially unique, as similar incidents golf annals occurred on balls driven high in the air. The robin was struck in the breast, it's feathers scattering for a foot around. A big fat angle worm wriggled speedily to safety as the golfers approached.

MAY ADD SEVERAL DISTANCE
 EVENTS TO 1923 MEET


 New York, May 24-The addition of several distance events to the annual championship program ,of the inter- collegiate association in Boston to- morrow night. The proposals which will come up for discussion include the staging in 1923 of either a. three or a five mile run and 440-yard hur- dle event
 Under the present schedule the longest run of the two day titular games is the two mile event It is realized that if the United States is ito compete successfully against the 1 European athletes in the Olympic games of 1924 and other international contests tentatively scheduled, it will be necessary to develop longer dis tance runners.
 The subject was discussed at the
Norwich bulletin., 1922-05-25

annual meeting of the l. CA. A. A. A. in New York last March and laid over for further consideration at confer ence to be held on the eve of the in tereolIegiate games. The meeting will listen to a report to be made by the coaches association on the subject and is likely to be influenced by the suggestions offered by the trainers. It is probable that for year at least, the three mile rather than the five mile run will be adopted.
 Tie addition of 440-yards low hur6]a race appears certain to next year s program and there may be some minor changes in the rules for some of the field events including limi- tation upon the size of the pole vault take-off pit.
