A. N. FARMER RESIGNS
Will Retire from the Seward School Prln
cpaIship to Go Into
-RueInoee

A. N. Farmer, principal Of the Seward
school, has presented his resignation, to
take effect at the close Of the school year.
He will give up teaching and go into bust
ness. This will be severe loss to the
public school system and is an illustration
Of the difficulty of keeping a man of
marked ability, such as is vital to the
best development of the educational sys-
tenn. The diversified talents ard care
full training capable of giving the best
results in teaching will command much
greater financial returns in other en-
pigments, and as men have their own
interests and those Of their families to
consider, it is not strange that it is diff
ficult to hold good men, 81
AS scientific student of education, Mr..
Farmer has rendered services in his dis
trict and in the city school Of inestimab BILE
value. He has made his school a center
of influence in the district that has
touched the families as well as the pupils.

CLEVELAND TALK
SPACE FILLER
W. J. Bryan Says 1t Is Only Being
Used to Serve While Money
Magnates Perfect Their Secret
Plans.

Lincoln, Neb.. May Nv. J. Bryan
has given emphatic expression to his
views on the possibility of the candidacy
of Grover Cleveland for the Democratic
presidential nomination. Mr.. Bryan
says:
"While Cleveland would be rightfully
entitled to the nomination if the re-
organizers obtain control of the party,
they will not obtain control. Cleveland
might as well aspire to Republican
nomination, but. in his widest dreams
he can hardly imagine the possibility of
Democratic nomination.
"He will receive considerable mention
in the papers that get their editorials
from the stock tickers, but the financiers
are too shrewd to make him their rep
resentative in presidential campaign.
Their plan is to select some one whose
opinions ale known to them, but not
known to the public. When they have
used man as long as they can, the y
throw him overheard and get new ont
"If the Democratic convention passed
a resolution leaving the candidate TO be
selected by j. Pierpont Morgan alone,
Morgan would not think for a moment
of risking his financial interests on such
nomination.
1.-The talk about Cleveland serves to
fill up space and occupy time while the
money magnates perfect their secret
plans.'

PHYSICAL CONNECTIONS ARE
ESTABLISHED AT LAST.
Tennessee Central Will Exchange Freight
With L. & N. and N. c. g. ST. l., Railroads
In Thirty Days, and Jere Bakers Great
Victory Is Won.

Nashville, May ~ According to the
Nashville News, within thirty days the
Tennessee Central Railroad will have
physical connections with the Louisville
& Nashville, Chattanooga & st. Louis
Railroads. So much for the resignation
of President Jere Baxter.
The engineers of all three railroads
have been engaged in making the neces-
sary surveys. These have been com
pleted, and blue prints have been made
In the case of the Louisville & Nashville,
work upon the grading has been begun.
"In thirty days at most" said promi-
nent official of the Tennessee Central
yesterday, 'these connections will be
ready for use."
The Tennessee Central will tap both
the old roads by it's terminal line. This
line crosses at right angles the Decatur
division of the Louisville & Nashville
near Browns Creek, about three miles
south of Nashville. An intersection is
& st. Louis road just north of the point
where the Lebanon branch cuts off.
The first road is crossed at grade by the
Tennessee Central The second is tun-
neled under by the terminal line. Here
some difficulty will be experienced in
making connection.
With physical connections, amicabIe
trait: arrangements will naturally fol.
low. In these two matters lay the core
of all the differences between the old
roads and the Tennessee Central. Both
privileges were refused. The only point
of connection between the Nashville.
& st. Louis, and the Louis
vile & Nashville and the old road was
Lebanon. All car lot shipments we're
transferred from one road to the other
thirty miles from Nashville. Freight
brought into Nashville by the Tennessee
Central, and consigned to point on
either one of the old roads, had to be
carried across the city, from one station

League Gives Resume of the
Work Done and Outlines Plans for the

credit the Adams Law.

The following statement from the

bubble:
We wish to congratulate the people
If Tennessee upon the work which has
Ieen accomplished In this state along
+emperance lines. By the act of 1887
ro6ibiting the existence of salo ons
within four miles OF an incorporated
Institution of leaning, saloons were
IIriyen out of the county districts en-.
FREELY into the towns and cities. By
{he act of 1899, extending the pro-
Fisions of this law to corporated
Downs of 1000 inhabitants, about
Is or 80 towns in the State surrendered
heir charters and reincorporated,
linus getting rid of saloons, while
Nome SO others took advantage OF the
aw to incorporate, as they could 40
sso without saloons. Since the passage
BIZ the Adams bill ana Its approval by
fbe Governor on Feb. 2, 1908. extend
ng the provisions of the fourmile law
10 towns of 1000 inhabitants and
hinder, the following towns in Tennes
lee have gotten rid of saloons, or are
! n process of getting rid of them:
bonesboro, Johnson City, Rogersville,
Morristown, Newport, Athens, Cleve-
| and, Dayton, lockwood, Kin gston,
Clinton, and Jelllo. in East Tennessee

Brownsville, Madison, Germantown,
lolllervllle, Toone, Covington. Dyers-
burg, Obion, Union City and South
Fulton, In West Tennessee; making
|hirty nine alto gether. This leaves only
|lx towns in the State under 5000
Inhabitants with saloons none In East
tennessee; Winchester, Lynchburg,
Ind Mt. Pleasant in Middle Tennessee
BARTLETT, Raleigh and Thomastown in
West Tennessee. Winchester lost by
p votes, but will try again next yer.
in Lynchburg the temperance people
look no part in the election. Mt.
Pleasant stood ready to vote out saloons
my time, but did not care to do so as
Dng as they remained in Columbia.
BARTLETT, Raleigh and Thomastown are
a Shelby County. Bartlett voted out
aIoons by II to 10, and the bills to
|bolish the charter of the town and
it passed three readings
b the House and two in the Senate
but the Senators from that county
|biected to their passage and they were
hid on the table. Raleigh and

! to the other by draws. The reverse as
to freight for the Tennessee Central was
not recognized. 1t was refused both
rights and courtesies. The interchange
of traffic was made Almost impossible
and very impracticable.
The Tennessee Central was opened
one year ago this month. For that
length of time its requests for traffic ar
rangements have been repulsed. In the
recent argument of the terminal bill be
fore the joint committee of the Fifty
third General Assembly speakers repre-
senting the old roads, intimated that
relief from the situation could be found
in the resignation of President Jere Bax-
ter. By reason of his long fight against
the Louisville d Nashville and the Nash
vile, Chattanooga & st. Louis Rail
roads, he had become personally dis
tasteful to them. While he was at the
head of the new company no peaceful
bnsiness-like affiliations could be con-
sidered, they commended Judge Claude
Waller was one of the speakers to make
the suggestion, ana upon it President
Baxter acted.
Col Jere Baxter resigned two weeks
ago the presidency of the Tennessee
Central. His efforts for the past ten
years had been to relieve Nashville of
the monopoly of railroads. He built the
line. To operate the line properly for
the greatest good to the city he thought
it was necessary that he depose himself
from the management of it. He saw
his duty and acted accordingly. More
than that, he acted effectively. The
physical connections are now under
way. The traffic arrangements will fol
low.
Another time when Col. Baxter's
statements that he was periodically
working for the people of Nashville, are
and that in no uncertain
terms.
