MOV l E

You have a treat in store. We nave booked the latest J. Parker Read, Jr., production, His Own Law" starring that remarkable actor Hobart Bos- worth, for presentation at the Elm press Theater tonight. It is one Of the supreme motion pictures of the year.
 Built upon plot that has with stood the tests of the most exacting critics, and won praise from the most hardened of them, His Own Law breaks away from the ranks of the usual motion picture as Shakespear' ian drama ranks ahead of modern plays. Every element that appeals to human emotions Eas been prefectly blended in the enacting of film that grips, even hurts, in places, so pow erful are it's situations. It is the story of one mans sacrifice for hi friend; a really great love story bull about the lives of two strong char acters.

The Cordova daily times., 1922-11-07

Alabama is to light his premises, pump his water, or drive his ma chinery with the electrical energy which is to come, from the harness ing of the waters now to be brought under the guiding hand of man. Questions such as whether Chattan- oga, Memphis, Pensacola, or other communities are to use the electrl- cal energy from the Tennessee fin ally for cheap power for manufactur' ing purposes are questions which give the Army engineer dam builder no concern whatever
 All these Army dam builders have known or cared 1t that they have
 been halted in their work since April 15, 1921, by lack of money, when the dam was one-third completed, at which time the air began to be filled with the roar, not of dam building, but of who should finally use the dam.

HOW POLITICS BEING PLAYED
 IN THE SOUTH

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 7.-Tennessee is expected to pass on the adlninistrae tion of President Harding and the Re publican Congress for the voters of the South when they go to the polls today The Republicans are striving to hold the Volunteer state, which they cap tured from the Democratic solid south" two years ago. and the Demo- crats are trying just as hard to re deem" 1t.
 Governor A. A. Taylor, running for reelection on the, Republican ticket and former Senator Newell, Republi- can senatorial nominee, are heading the orators ofthe party in power. They are praising the administrations Of Tor and asking the voters for endorse Tor an dasking the voters for endorse ment.
 United States Senator K. D. McKei- la, renominated by the Democrats, Austin Peay, candidate for Governor, Cordell Hull, chairman of the national Democratic executive committee seeking his old seat in the Fourth dis trict which he lost in the landslide Of 1920 and Ennis Garret, candidate for reelection in the Ninth district and minority leader in the Lower House | of Congress, are members Of the van | guard of the Democratic party in the onslaughts which they have launched against the national and state admin istrations of the Republicans.
 The Tennessee voters are bearing the tariff alternately praised and con demned, the acts of Congress, espe' cially on taxation given the same treat ment, and .eahc party blaming the other for many other things.
 The Democratic orators hold the Re publicans responsible for the d1scon tinuance of the flush" period that fol lowed the war, while the Republicans tell the voters that the last Demo cratic administration was responsible
 United States senators are to be elected in Virginia, South Carolina Florida, Georgia, and Mississippi, and governors in South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, in addition to Tennes- see. Little interest is manifested Ill these races, for the Democratic prl' \ maries, already held, were considered equivalent to election.

WILSON DAM CONSTRUCTION
 IS RESUMED

FLORENCE, Ala, Nov. 7.-- The roar of construction work on the great Wilson Dam at Muscle Shoals is again sounding through the valleys and over the hills along the Tennes- see River. The Federal Government has stepped in to rescue from pos sible decay the spectacular wartime nitrate and power projects, which sprang up almost overnight, 1n- volved in the building of what will be the worlds largest water-power dam.
 United States Army engineers, who have just been furnished with SS,- 100000, in Congressional appropria- tions are once more proceeding with the work of harnessing the mighty waters of the Tennessee under a Government program which provides for the completion of the Wilson Dam, the installation of machinery, and the furnishing of electrical Juice" by the late winter of 1925 or the early spring of 1926.
 This program is so definite that the Army Appropriation Bill to be introduced in Congress December 1 is to contain an item making avail able $7,50O,000 additional for the work for the fiscal year 1923-24 They will require but $7,40O,000 more after that, for the following fiscal year, before they have a finished jot at the dam and power house, and be ready to turn the switches that send out the electric current.
 The Army engineer dam builders do not vex themselves with the ques tion of what is to become Of the electrical energy to be harnessec from the waters of the Tennessee sometimes swollen, angry and turbid To the Army engineer dam builder it makes no difference whether nj trates are made here; whether fer tilizer is made here; whether tht Tennessee River is to move tht street cars in distant New Orleans whether it drains the swamps o Florida with cheap power.
