INTERNAL MACHINE FOUND
At the United States Consulate in Casa
Neuva--No Explosion.

HAVANA, Dec. ia small box, ap-
parently made TO contain samples OF some
description, was found this morning at
Casa Neuva, where the United States
Consulate is situated. An examination OF
the box showed it contained a tube filed
with an explosive substance. Fortunately
the cover was not removed in the ordi-
nary way but was splintered open. I'm

The WAY the Cumberland Works.

Why is it when the Bell Telephone
Company reduced the rental on
their instruments one dollar per
month the management of the Cum
berland Telephone Company adj
vanced the price of telephone SER
vice to each subscriber 80 cents per
month?
This happened some time ago, but
no satisfactory explanation has ever
been made to the public. Taking
into account the one dollar reduc-
ton by the Bell Company on each
instrument, we have real increas e
as far as the profits of the Cumber-
land Company are concerned, of one
dollar and half month or $lS a
year from each subscriber. Making
a calculation on the basis of 1920
subscribers, we find that the Cum
berland Telephone Company gets by
this little maneuver $4,000 a year
from the Nashville public. This is
nothing more nor less than a tax
levied upon the people by corpora =
ton. 1t is levied because the cor
poration thinks the people are help
less and have no remedy. We shall
see.
Now, what do we find this corpora
tion doing in the matter of its own
taxation? AS shown heretofore in
the columns of the Sun, it evades
over $1,000 year in just taxes.
What are we to think of a corpora
ton that shifts its own proportion OF
the burden of government and yet
uses the authority given it by thi;
government to exact an unjustifiablt
tribute from the people?
1t is an outrage.-Nashville Sun.

Whiskey Men Win in the "No Screen"
A special term of Chancery Court
was held Monday and Tuesday of
this week. Chancellor Alternately
presided Monday, but Tuesday he
was called away, and Hon. l.. P.
Padgett OBLIGATED in his absence.
The case of Peyton & Sons, retail
whiskey dealers, versus the Board
of Mayor aud Aldermen, was de-
cided in favor of complainants. This
was an injunction filed by complain
ants to restrain the Board of Alder
men from enforcing an ordinance
passed several months ago, known
az the "no screen law" which pro-
vided that no screen, stained glass,
or anything that would hinder the
public from gazing upon the tippler
at the bar, should be used. The
Board filed a demurrer at the April
term of Chancery Court, but the
Chancellor overruled the demur-
rer and ordered that the Board
answer the injunction at this term.
The decision was rendered as stated
above.

vorce from her husband, John Tay-

Appeal says:

giant Illinois Central system. This
means that quite portion of that
State will be put into closer COM
munication with Memphis and the
other cities along the system than
has ever before been the case, and
there is chance that the Illinois
Central will build the new line into
Nashville, and there strike the

had railroad monopoly for so many
years.

The first regularly filed complaint
against railroad for unjust dis
elimination in the matter of freight
rates that has been submitted to the
Tennessee Railroad Commission was
filed yesterday by P. H. George.
In his complaint, petitioner says
that he is coal dealer at Athens,
Tenn, point on the Southern Rail-
road; that the freight rates on coal
laid down by the railroad company
for the present season, from the
mines at Oliver Springs, on the
Walden's Ridge Branch, to Athens, is
as follows:
on domestic coal .......... $L45 per ton
On steam coal....... TO cents per ton
Mr.. George says that the rate on
both grades of Coal to Chattanooga,
which is firty-siX miles beyond
Athens, is only 10 cents per ton;
that the coal is hauled to both places
over the same line, aud that it is an
unjust discrimination against the
citizens of Athens, forcing them to
pay more for coal than the people
of Chattanooga, who live fifty-siX
miles further from the mines than
do the people of Athens.
Col, BullOk, as Chairman of the
Commission, at once notified the
officials of the Southern Railroad
Company of the complaint, and
gave them until Aug. 10 to max,
their answer. As soon as this il
filed the case will be set for an i'm
mediate hear ing.-Nashville Ameri

A Turtle Story.

Mr.. d. w. Latham, a veracious
merchant of Polk, reports an enOr-
nous turtle caught in Obion. The
shell or shield is forty-siX inches
long, thirty-three inches wide and
the turtle is five feet ten inches
from head to tail. Some idea of his
immense size may be gathered from
the fact that his head is fourteen
inches in diameter. A young man
weighing $50 pounds stood on his
back and the turtle moved off as
easily as horse would have done.
