Pope COUNTY.

Glenwood = The primary election law
was success in this county and on the
whole satisfactory. Only two serious OBJ
jections have been raised The time is not
satisfactory. Farmers are very busy with
threshing plowipg and corn harvest in
september and only those keenly inter-
ested or living close to the polling place
will leave their work to vote. Some date
in June would be- more acceptable.
The other objection is to the provision
requiring the voter to declare his party
allegiance-and especially, that of two
years ago, for most people appear to real
lie the justice of having only repub-
licans nominate republicans AS this
county is overwhelmingly republican the
primary election practically determines
who will be the next Officials, and no fur
Their campaign Is necessary. The size of
the vote this year was a, surprise. With
only two contests for county offices-and
those not spirited-over 70 per cent Of the
1900 republican vote was polled. = Some
Of the politicians who have been powerful
in conventions are not especially pleased
with the primary election law or it's
workings but those who depend for their
strength on personal popularity among the
voters are with the common people in IA
.vor of continuing the law with some
ichanges. -8.

Iennessee's Coal Mines.

Tennessee is furnishing q sly lendid
object lesson of what State can do In
the matter of coal mining without
saving anything about it in q party
platform or making 1t political issue,
as was done in New YORK. The
State will make this year something
like &175, 900 clear out of her convict
coal mine at Brushy Mountain. II
she should go into the business after
the manner proposed by David 3.
Hill, she coul1 make enough to re.
heve the general public altogether OF
the burdens of taxation, and ut the
same time sell at most reasonable
rates to the people of the State. 1t is
far and away the most successful
public enterprise ever undertaken by
the States.

FREE RURAL ROUTES.
More will be Opened in Tennessee
Next Year.

Next ear.
There will be no more free rural
delivery routes established in Tennes-
see counties and those of other States
this year, although soon after Jan. LIST
it is expected that many additional
ones will be put into operation.
The inactivity in this direction ~
only temporary. 1t is caused by the
exhaustion of the appropriation for
the purpose. There will be provision
made by Congress for deficiency fund
to carry the necessities of this branch
OF the Government until July next.
At that time large appropriation, it
is anticipated, will be available FOR
the opening of more routes. 1t is
regarded Ms q certainty that this ap-
preparation will be made. the neces-
sity for it being strOngly urged BY the
Attorney General. 1t is also believed
the appropriation will be greatly in
excess OF any former one, the success
Of the system warranting such an
increase.
During the past year there have
been about 200 new free rural delivery
routes established in various parts OF
Tennessee. This has brought the total
number of routes in this State up into
the neighborhood of 450 or more.
The average number of routes to a
county in Tennessee is between twenty
five and thirty. The largest number
in one county is thirty-slx and in some
they run as low as twenty. Davidson
County now has twenty eight rontes,
and Superintendent w. +. Conger. OF
the Southern Division, says there Is
need for more which will probably be
opened early next year. Arrangements
have already been made for the open
ing of new routes in Maury and other
counties. When the territory in Ten.
nessee has been fully covered it is con-
servatively estimated that this State
will have several thousand of these
rouUes. From an experiment the free
rural delivery system has grown to be
a necessity. 1t is success wherever
it is IN vogue. and 1t is confidently
expected that within period of three
years the system will have been made
self sustaining.

LOST HIS LIFE IN A WRECK.
Account of Accident IN Which =. e.
McRady Lost His Life.


McRady Lost His Life.
IFrom the wichita (Texas) Herald.l
A wreck occurred on the Denver
Tuesday morning at 3 clock. two
miles south of Jolly, in which j. K.
McRady, of Lewisburg, Tenn, lost
his life.
Two sections of freight train were
on their way FROM Henrietta to this
city, and when near jolly the rear
train ran into the one ahead, the en-
CINE smashing the caboose of tbs head
train, resulting in the death of Nc
Rady and OF his total cremation.
No one else was hurt.
How the accident occurred, no one
seems TO know. The members of the
train crews are reticent and will have
little to say. Certain it is, however,
that these two sections were at Henri
eta at the same time and must nave
Eeen aware that there was not very
great distance between them. They
were both coming in the same direc-
ton and If there had been ordinary
care it is difficult to imagine how
one could nave run into the other.
Henry Russell. the conductor on the
train ahead. did not see the engine
light of the rear train until it was
flashed on him suddenly and he had
to Jump to save his life. McRady
saw the hight about the same time
and must have realized his danger.
but lost his presence of mind, as he
rushed back into the caboose instead
of jumping. Both trains were in
motion at the time of the accident.
The impact of the collision wrecked
the caboose completely and turned the
stove over, which started q fire that
consumed the caboose and another
car. and in which McRady was
burned up.
M. McRady was from Lewisburg,
Tenn. and was on his way to Here
ford. He had carload Of household
furniture and some horses with him
and intended locating there. He had
sent his family on ahead of him. In
the car containing his goods was a
Young man who was on his way to
Hereford to work for him after he
should get settled in his new Texas
nome. The young man was not hurt.
