MUST PAY POLL TAX OR
NOT VOTE IN NOVEMBER
If You Live in the First or the Fourth
Districts You Must Reg
lister Also.

This year women must pay thei
Ipoll tax in order to vote just the same
as men. A small percentage of the
women of the county have paid theil
poll tax or are likely to do so. The
pill tax must be paid not later than
September g in order to vote. Be-
sides paying poll tax, you must regis
ter, if you have not done SO within
tour years, to be eligible to vote. If
you have not registered you will have
a chance to do SO before the Novem-
Der election. There are only two dis
tricts in this county where it is nee
essary to register, the First and the
Fourth, which comprize the following
precincts Crossville ,Creston, Dorton,
Pomona, Pleasant Hill, Clifty all in
the First District; Crab Orchard, Days
vile, Flat Rock, Ozone, and Hebberts-
burg, all in the Fourth District.
The reason why registration is nee
essary in the two districts mentioned
is, because what is known as the
Dortch law requires that voters must
register at precincts where by any
Federal census a district is found to
contain more than $500 population. By
the Federal census of 1920, the Fourth
district was found to have something
over 1900 population. The First dist
rict had been voting under the Dortch
law tor some years previous to the
last census.
The last legislature extended the
Dortch law to every precinct in the
state, which forces everyone to vote
the Dortch ballot, but the law does
not mention that registration is ex-
tended to every precinct in the state
and for that reason the counties gen.
orally over the state do not regard
that the registration feature of the
Dortch law applies to districts hav-
ing a population under $500.
Nothing like the number of people
vote in any of our elections that are
entitled to vote or shiuld vote.
The Federal census of 1920 showed
that there were 4l5o7 persons in cumb-
erland county of voting age. In the
presidential election that fall 2,o84 per
sons voted, which will be seen was
less than half of those
entitled to vote. The vote of No
sember, 1920, was the heaviest ever
;ast in this county, yet more than
half the people did not feel sufficient
interest to go to the polls. At that
line women did not have to pay poll
AK, yet they were not interested to
my great degree for every one knows
hat far more than half the votes cast
we're voted by men.

CRossvILLE TENNESSEE, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST %, 1922
ANOTHER STILL DESTROYED
AND ONE MAN CAUGHT
VIM. Cox Arrested While Charley Dix
on and Link Potter Made q
Clean Cet-aWay.

Monday Marshal V. c. Lyles, Henry
Turner and Dillon Shaver raided a still
some FIVE miles north of Crossville on
Obed River and captured VIM. Cox
The still was about 40 gallons, running
in full blast, but seemed to have been
in operation there only short time.
Cox surrendered but Charley Dixon
and Link Potter both ran away. Mar
shall Lyles hrel several shots at Dixon,
but so far as he is aware dill not hit
him. The officers got separated and
did not approach the still at once
which accounts for only one man be-
ing arrested. Marshal Lyles had Cox
in charge and attempted to arrest Dix
on at the same time but failed.
The still was destroyed along with
100 gallons of beer, FIVE fermentors
and one humping keg.
Cox was tried before Esq. o. B.
Rector Monday and bound to the Fed
eral court at Cookeville in the sum of
81 900, which bond was male by Leon
ard Potter and Frank Fields. Federal
were sworn out by Henry |
Turner for Dixon and Potter.

SHERIFF WALKERS CONTEST
TO Be HEARD THIS week
His Grounds Are Mainly Based on the
Charge of an Illegal
Election.

Last week Sheriff G. w. Walker filed
the proper papers, through his attorn-
ey c. f. Keyes, for the contest to pre-
vent J. H. Henry, who was elected
sheriff in the election August 8, by
81 votes from holding office.
The charges in the main are that
the election at practically every pre-
cnct in the county was not legally
held because the law pertaining to the
manner of holding the election was
not complied with. He does not set
out any specific instances of fraud,
but bases his claim on the broad
grounds of an illegal election because
of not having been held strictly IN
accordance with the law.
The election commissioners issued to
Mr.. Henry his certificate of election,
along with others who were elected,
and Mr.. Henry has received his COM
mission from the governor. What the
outcome of the contest will be will be
watched with interest. The case is ex-
pected to be tried at this session OF
the adjourned June term OF Circuit
court which convened Monday.
1t is possible that we may be able
to give the finding of the court in the
case in this issue of the Chronicle.
Mr.. Henry has employed as his law
yer E. G. Toilet.

LET THE PUBLIC DECIDE

And now some one proposes fed
eral coal commission to be composed
of both miners and operators who
shall have control and regulation of
the industry. If such a commission
is ever to be given the authority by
all means let both miners and opera
tors be strictly barred from member
ship upon it. So surely as they would
be given representation, we would
have a repetition of the old plan of
them getting together to horn the
public, and under the sanction of the
federal government such plan could
be worked to perfection. Let the com
be composed of outsiders, of
men whose only interest in the matter
is in seeing that the people secure
coal and secure it at the lowest pos
sible prices consistent with living
wages for the miners and mall profits
for the operators. All other consider
ations should be banished as inimical
to the public welfare.-Ft. Wayne (Ind

RUNOFF IN MISSISSIPPI

The race for nomination for United
States senator in Mississippi resulted
in dog fall" and a runof is neces-
sary.
James K. Vardeman, Herbert D.
Stephens and Miss Belle Kearney were
the candidates. Vardeinan received
nine thousand more votes than Steph-
ems but he did not receive the ma
jority of all votes cast as the Missis-
sippi law requires for Miss Kearney
received around 1900 votes.
In the coming runoff Miss Kearney
has asked her friends to vote for
Stephens against Vardeman. Both
are claiming the election by good
majority.
Vardeman was once elected U. S.
Senator and ated SO gross and vulgar
on repeated occasion as to actually dis
grace his state. Hany persons all ov-
er the country are hoping Vardeman
will be defeated.

SERIOUS CUTTING AFFRAY
SAM TOLLETT THE VICTIM
Took Place at Toilets Chapel Sunday
Night; Will Sheriff. Did the
Cutting.

Sunday night Will Sheriff. is sup
posed to have seriously cut Sam Toll
lett as the result of an alteration be-
tween them. Sheriff. had not been
arrested as we go to press.
AS the information comes to the
Chronicle the conditions seem to be as
follows: A meeting was being held
at Toilets Chapel and Rev. w. H.
Blue was preaching. During the serv-
les some person on the outside threw
some heavy object against the build
ing. Sam Toilet and one or two others
went out to see who was making the
disturbance and have them cease.
Mr.. Toilet asked Will Sheriff. if
he had made the disturbance and he
dchi-d " l. an oath. He continued
tc swear and abuse Toilet. who ,rn e
to pa''ify Sheriff. by telling him that
he nor any one else had not charged
him tSherrilD with the disturbance,
but wished who ever it was would
cease. Sheriff. continued to curse and
and finally called Toilet Id son
of b., and Toilet then struck
Sheriff. with a club or heavy piece of
wood and fell him to the ground. AS
Tollett was in the act of administering
a good beating to Sheriff. he begged
Tollett to not hurt him. Toilet then
ceased and as Sheriff. arose from the
ground he cut Toilet in the left ao-
1omen making hole some three or
.our inches long and to the hollow
The cut extended almost to the navel
Ind was, SO wide and deep that the
'owels protruded. Toilet was taken
lome and Dr. V. L. Lewis was sum-
noned He rendered the proper aid,
'ut as the cut is so large and deep
hrere is great danger that infection
nay set in and result in the death Of
rollett.
Sam Toilet is very quiet and in
ustrious farmer and is respected by
n who know him. viii Sheriff. has
he reputation of being drinking and
worthless fellow. much given to MAX
ng trouble and otherwise violating
he law.

NEW SCHOOL BUILDING
SITE HAS BEEN SELECTED
Well Being Drilled and Plans for the
Building Will Likely Soon Be
Decided Upon.

The city school directors and MEM
bers of the city council jointly de-
cided upon the location for the new
city school building. E. o. Hembree
is now drilling we'll and steps are
being taken as fast as consistently can
be for work to commence on the
building.
The plans most favored thus far
are from some distant point in Vir-
ginia and as no price has bee manned
for the plans that remains to be de-
termined before definite selection OF
plas will be decided.
Owing to the disturbed condition of
transportation, it is impissible for the
board to decide if the work will be
done by contract or by day labor with
a competent supervisor. Considerable
detail information remains to be Sc
cured before any definite decision can
be made as to exact plans or the date
when ground will be broken. 1t is
hoped that the work could be so ex-
pedited as to have the building ready
BY the holidays to receive at least
portion of the city school, but owing
to disturbed conditions over the coun-
try nothing definite can be determined
and it is very likely the building may
not be gotten to the point where it can
be used this year. However, every e.
fort possible will be made to push it
to an early completion that is consist
ent with the best interests CT the COM

AGED LADY PASSED AWAY
With TYPHOID SATURDAY
Nancy Jane Hale, Mother of Mike
Hale; Remains Buried in
White County.

Saturday night at II o'clock Nancy
Jane Hale, mother of Mike Hale, died
at the home of w. E. Anderson after
an illness with typhoid of rs days. The
remains were taken to Green Tree,
White county, Sunday and inferred by
the side of her usband, who had pre-
ceded her some six years. Rev. A. C.
Koser of the M. E. Church, accom-
panied the family and conducted the
funeral services, which took place at
the grave shortly before dark. The
trip was long one over bad roads
and the funeral rtage-did not reach
the cemetery until Just before night
fall.
The deceased was 73 years of age
and had been making her home with
her son, Mike Hale, and her daughter,
Mrs. w. E. Anderson, for a few
months each summer, but had spent
the larger part of her time with her
chillren in White county. She was up
here on her usual summer visit when
the I2-year old daughter, Edna, of Mr..
and Mrs. w. F. Anderson, was taken
with typhoid. She nursed the girl
through her sickness and contracted
the disease as result. She had been
getting along very we'll and her final
recovery was confidently expected, un-
til she suddenly took much worse
Saturday morning, from which time
she continued to grow weaker until
she passed away that night.
Formerly she was member of the
Methodist church, but when they
moved from this county to White
several years ago, their most
church was Baptist and
they united with it and she remained
a member of that church until her
death.
She was consecrated Christian
laly and was much beloved by al who
knew her. Her life hal been one Of
cheerful labor and sacrifice for those
near and dear to her and her kindly
will be much missed by
her relatives and friends.

new BANK SUBSCRIBERS
HELD MEETING FRIDAY
Papers of Incorporation Forwarded to
Secretary Of State; Capital
Stock to Be 5000.

Several of those interested in the
new bank met Friday and selected
the incorporators and name of the new
institution. The charter was forward
ed to the Secretary of State for his
warrant and it may be returned fully
authenticated before this reaches our
readers.
The incorporators are: K. A. Powell,
II. H. Aytes. ]. c. Kemmer, T. E. Will
on, G. M Martin, G. f. Harrison and
C. G. Black. The capital stock is to
be $4,000 and the name of the new
institution will be CUMBERLAND Bank
and Trust Company. AS before stated
there would have been no difficulty in
making the capital stock $4,000 had
they so desired, as several persons
were denied stock and in everal in
stances certain persons reduced their
subscription in order to let certain
others in. 1t was deemed best to start
with the smaller amount as the capital
stock as it can be enlarged at any
time conditions may render an in
crease Of capital stock advisable.
Another meeting will be held shortly
and it is probable the date of opening
the bank, the selection of cashier
and other matters looking to definite
opening the doors for business will
likely be determined.
Several applications have been re-
ceived for the place of cashier, but
no selection has been made as yet nor
does il seem likely that any one can
at this time tell who will be selected
for that very important place.
Just how soon the bank will open
for business or whether or not busi.
ness will commence before the new
i. completed, is not known.
Neither does it seem that the definite
location Of the new bank building has
been decided upon. These and other
matters will doubtless be taken up in
due course by the board Of directors
when the charter is received and the
directors meet in business confer
encs. 1t is known, however, that
some of the subscribers are desirous
Of seeing the bank open for business

TEACHERS INSTITUTE TO Be
HELD SEPTEMBER | AND 2
Talk On Vocational Training By
Robert H. White to Be Import
ant Feature.

The institute for our county teach.
crs will be held Friday and Saturday
September I and 2. The first ses-
sion to be held Friday night at 2 go
and all teachers of the county are ex-
pected to be present.
In this instance there is not to be
so much speechmaking or long talks
but close scrutiny AMI careful con-
sultation will be held with the super
intendent, Miss Ethel Walker, looking
to the general outline of the school
work and an effort will be made to
arrive at means for minimumizing the
obstructive difficulties that confront
the teachers at their several schools.
The session will continue through Sat-
urday and much is expected to be ac-
accomplished in a specific as we'll as
general way.
Vocational Training
One of the most interesting features
of this gathering of the teachers of
the county will be the talk by Robert
H. White, director of vocation train
ing of disabled civilians.
This is work separate and apart
from the war vterean vocational work |
and is in no way connected with it. !
Any person who may be handicapped
through the loss of hands, legs, eye
sight or any other character of an in
jury that renders them unable to pro-
vide for their own support will have a
chance to take this vocational train
ing course and thus be assisted to earn
sufficient to sustain themselves. In
many instances persons are drawing
handsome salaries after taking this
vocational training who were unable
to provide for themselves before.
Parents especially should make it
a point to attend and hear this talk by
Mr.. White for it may mean wonder
ful help to. some chill or older person
who is now disabled.
