cablegram:
All markets here were idle to-day; in
the dumps because there was no Afri-
can news, because there was a hitch
in the Chinese negotiations and because
of miserable fog.
American shares were also heavy and
featureless. They were dull enough be-
fore the New York opening. On mod
crate sales by Wall street the close was
worse and there was no market in the
street afterward.
Money is still tight. The call loan
rate began at Az, closed at 37s. The
probable fall of the bank rate has been
fully discounted.
Gold to the amount of $4,000 has
been brought in from Egypt and the
bank has bought GS4,000 in bars in the
open market.

MIR. JOHN LATTA
Addresses a Card to the Voters OF
Maury County.

To the voters Of Maury County:
For a good many years as policeman
and city marshall have served the city
of Columbia. During these fifteen or
twenty years have made a record as
public official and by that record
whether | will or mo- must be Judged.
The people Of Maury County know
me by my record and whatever partia,
friends or personal enemies may say of
me, the great body of the people know
will fairly judge whether my record
stands for the impartial enforcement
of the law and the active and conscien-
tious discharge of my oath and duties
under the law, or whether | have been
lacking in the performance of my du-
ties and partial in my official acts.
And to a fair and impartial verdict of
the people / will now submit my
claims to higher, more important and
more lucrative Office than | have here
tofore held that is, the Office Of
SHERIFF OF MAURY COUNTY.
Quite a number of my friends from
the country have from time to time
these last few months voluntarily
pledged me their active support and
suggested the propriety of an early an
nouncement Encouraged by their sug-
gestions | have taken the matter up
and discussed it with representative
men from all parts of the county: and
| am glad and proud to say that their
response has been more hearty and en-
couraging than | had even dared to
hope.
| have determined, therefore, under
their advice, to make the race. and
though the election is year off yet,
to make my announcement now
| l sincerely trust that you will dis.
cuss me and my claims with your
neighbors and friends and if you think
| have been faithful in small things,
then help me by your influence and
vote to this promotion.
My duties as city marshall of this
city are such that it will be next win
ter or spring before / can commence
an active canvass in the country, but
in the meantime hope to see and tall
with very many of you in Columbia.
! IL you favor me with your votes an(
influence and give me the Office,
promise you that | will faithfully per
form the duties of the same, and en-
force the law to the best of my ability
against the rich and poor, high an(
low, white and black, without fear,
favor or affection.
Very truly yours.
