The County Board of Work House
Commissioners held their regular
monthly meeting Monday afternoon in
the Brown building. All the mem
bers were present. and the meeting
was prolonged to three or four hours,
a great deal of discussion and conten.
tion being provoked by several differ
ent questions. One of these questions
was the reinstatement of A. |. Sellers.
a Work House guard, who was sus-
pended month ago after an inves-
tigatlon and report by special COM
mittee. He was charged with drunk
enness and i'll treatment of the prs
oners, and when the special committee
made its report, accompanied by the
sworn testimony of several witnesses.
Sellers was suspended for thirty days.
The time of suspension expired on the
18th. and at the meeting Monday he
was Ieinstated by a vote of three to
one, Messrs. Petty, Peyton and Null
Inns voting in favor OF reinstatement,
and Mr.. English against it.
The proposal to reinstate Sellers
called forth very decided opposition
from Mr.. English, bat he was out
voted by the other commissioners and
Sellers will resume his work at
once.
There was no testimony introduced

A FALSE REPORT
That a. White Man Had Been
Killed at Harian's Mines,
Causes Some Ex-
element.

There was some excitement
out at Harlan's mines in this county
Sunday night. 1t was reported that
white man named Bradley Mcclure
had been shot and killed by some
Negroes, and the people of the vicinity
were very much agitated over it.
Sheriff Forgey was notified and went
out to the scene of the supposed kill
ing. He found that there had been a
drinking bout and a negro hae shot at
Mr.. Mcclure, and as he had not been
seen since the people supposed he had
been killed or dangerously wounded,
and owing to the disorder that pre-
vailed were afraid to go and investi-
gate. 1t did not take Sheriff Forgey
long to find the supposed dead man,
who was lying asleep by the side of a
log, and who had been shot at, but
was not hit OF injured in any way.
After this matters quieted down and
the excitement died out.

j. W. Harding. the Negro Attorney,
Arrested Thursday Night.

She CLAIMS That H. Obtained Thirty
Dollars From Her By False
Pretenses.
HE COULDN'T GIVE BAIL.

j. w. Harding, who calls himself q
pension attorney. is IN the tolls again
and is now peeping through the bars
of the Maury county Jail. He seems
to have penchant for getting into
trouble and has been arrested more
than once, but by some hook OIL
crook has always escaped the clutches
of the law. Only recently he was ar
rested charged with embeZzlement, but
arranged the matter and the warrant
was withdrawn. The last charge
against him is obtaining money by
false pretenses. 1t is preferred by a
negro woman named Ella Higgins,
who claims that in September 1908,
she owned piece of property in Mar
shall county, which had been sold
under the foreclosure of a mortgage.
She says that Harding came to her and
represented himself as a practicing at
torney and toldsher that he could Ie-
cover the property for her if she would
pay him fee of $40. RELYING upon
his representations she retained him as
her attorney to recover the property
and paid him $50, giving him $40 at
one time and $40 at another. Not
wIthstandIng this, she says that he
did not recover the property and had
no intention of doing so and secured
her money by false pretenses. She
accordingly swore out the warrant
against him and Thursday night
Sheriff FoIgey arrested him and in
default of $1,000 bail he was COM
mitted to Jail to await his examining

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful II IL
In Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal IS
the safest and most efficient disinfectaut
value when taken into the human system
for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you
take of it the better: it is not q drug at
ali. but simply absorbs the gases and Inn
purities always present in the stomach
and intestines and carries them out Of
the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking. drinking or after eating onions
and other odor0uS vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion. 1t whitens the teeth and
further acts as 4 natural and emiuently
safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which COLI
iect in the stomach and bowels: 1t disin-
son Of catarrh.

another. but probably the best charcoal

Roosevelt's Statement Declaring
He Wonld Not Accept Third
Term Starts Discussion
of Successor.
TAFT AND: ROOT IN FAVOR.
Senator Beveridge of Indiana
Makes Known His Ambition
= to Go to White House
s1Shaw, Knox and Fair
- banks Mentioned.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington. Nov. a.-President Roose-
velt made up his mind fully two weeks
ago That as soon as he WAS elected he
would. .foreswear third term.
The President has long held positive
convictions on the third-terrn Question
When Jndge Parker, in shis speech of
acceptance declared heewoulh not take a
second term if elected, the President pri-
vately admitted that he was opposed to a
third term for himself or anyone else. He
declined at that time to declare himself
out of the race in 1905. This he did be-
cause he feared that such a declaration
would be taken as an effort to make po-
litical capital in the campaign. He
thought over the form of his statement
and gave it out as soon as the returns
showed a Republican victory.
This announcement throws the field wide
open to all candidates. If the President
had not eliminated himself last night
there would soon have been indirect pres
sure brought by the various candidates
fer presidential honors in 1905. The follow
Ing men are considered available for the
nomination in 1905:
Eilnu ROOT OF NeW 1ofR. william II.
Iaft OF Ohio. Leslie NJ Shaw of Iowa.
Senator Fairbanks. Senator Knox and
Senator Beveridge of Indiana.
Within the last few weeks it has become
known here that Senator Beveridge covetS
the Republican nomination. That Presi
dent Roosevelt should so soon declare him
self out is not considered favorable to SEN
ator Beveridge.
1t is improbable that Beveridge boom
will be formally launched much before
1888. Hej Is now considered too young.
but no one shuts his eyes to the fact that
he is a conner in the Senate. and that his
industry. eloquence and alert intelligence
have compelled the leaders to take him
into the party councils. although they are
opposed TO youth and impetuosity.
President Roosevelt considers Secretary
Taft full presidential size and he also
considers Elihu Root. Mr.. Taft's predeces-

OF eight. who acted as an escort to his
Highness.
A Sato, who acted as spokesman for the
party. stated that the Prince desired par
ucularly not to give any interview to the
American press at this time.
You can understand that it would be,
improper continued Mr.. Sato, "for his
Highness. who is an officer in the army
and closely related to the Emperor. to
express any opinion on the existing war.
His visit to the country is purely one of
courtesy.
The party will remain in San Francisco
only twenty-four hours. We will leave to-
morrow for Washington by way of Chi
caSo. stopping at the latter city only three
hours. As soon as we arrive at the ma
uonai capital his Highness will seek an
audience with the President of the United
States"
Asked as to the purpose of this inter-
view with the chief executive. Mr.. Sato
replied:
TT is of a purely informal nature. His
