There are three Tennessees. There is East Tennessee, the home of shrewd mountain traders, Republicans, the Great Smokies, Knoxville and the TVA. There is Middle Tennessee, the Cumberland plateau, a land of bluegrass, rich farms, horsey squires (who keep a fighting-cock in the tobacco barn), of Nashville, "Athens of the South." There is cotton-growing West Tennessee, flatland of "red-necks," of Memphis, and Beale Street, Mistuh Ed Crump and the Mississippi...

He married a Missouri girl named Loyce Enloe, and branched out as an educator in 1914 by joining the administrative staff of Stephens, which young President James Madison ("Daddy") Wood was just beginning to develop into a horsey mid-western finishing school (TIME, June 7). Seven years later Roy Davis' Republican friends made him U. S. Minister to Guatemala, an event he celebrated by adopting spats, cane and black-ribboned pince-nez. High point of Roy Davis' diplomatic career was the revolution that overtook...
