c. Heidenburg Is Appointed Deputy
Collector at Tullahoma.

John 4. Mccall, Collector of
Internal Revenue for the Fifth
District of Tennessee, has ten
dered the appointment of Depu-
ty Collector at Tullahoma to
Charles Heidenburg, of that
place. The position was former
ly held by Alan Parker. The
duties of the place are very light,
requiring only fraction of the
officials time each day, and the
salary is $50 per month, making
it very desirable office. The
new appointee, Mr.. Heidenburg,
is one of the leading merchants
of Tullahoma, and is at present
Chairman of the Republican Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Fifth
Congressional District. 1t is be-
lieved that he will accept the
place, and should he do so will
probably assume the duties at
once.

Valuable Records Destroyed IN the
Library Fire at Knoxville.

In the fire which Monday after
noon destroyed the Lawson-Mc-
Ghee Library of Knoxville, burn
ed valuable books and records
which can never be replaced, and
from the standpoint of history of
the past in that section, the loss
is irreparable. The lawson
McGhee Library building was
erected by Col. Chas. McGhee,
in memorial of a daughter, Law
son McGhee, and it was one, of
the largest free libraries in Knox
country, and was used by all of
the school children of the city,
and in it we're many books that
could not be found at the Uni
versity of Tennessee, and for
this reason it was greatly used
by the students of that institu-
tion.
But the loss was greater be-
| cause there were in it files OF
newspapers from the first that
we're ever published in that city
down to the present time, and
also records of the history of the
State of Franklin, the territory
south of the Ohio River, and in
fact the early history of that sec
ton, but it has all been reduced
to ashes and will never be re
covered. There were 10000 vol
umes in the library.

Had Dream of Buried Money.

A man by the name of Travis,
resideing in the Third District of
Carroll County, dreamed one
night last week there was a con-
siderable sum of money buried
on the old John Mcdonald home

the dream that early next morn
ing with pick and shovel he re-
paired to a dense thicket on the
farm where he has dug a hole five
feet long and three feet wide.
So far he has not the treasure,
but says he will dig deeper and

money which he believes is hid.

As the loss to the party Is exactly
equal to the amount Of service Mr.. \ bel
was in the habit OF rendering il. br:es
resume OF those services VII. ensble Us
to arrive at the approximate damage TO
be expected when t3cse services will

the convention Friday Was lie third

his presence. Upon his first appea'ance
lie succeeded in disrupting the tesi party
organization the democrats ever mad in
this county, and when the ticket was
named he labored hard TO defeat the
candidates thereon. SO that he forfeited
all claims to democratic recognition on
that occasion.
In the campaign c: l2o2 ne was recog.

There being no coLcealnent OF hose &C.

activity at the primaries ard in the con.

that hope.
In view OF this record. there is not
much to wonder at the fact hat his at.
tempt FRIDAY to infict himself again
on the iafty met with prompt rebuse.
In fact, the onlv surprising thing about
it was the aulacity OF MS undertaking.
The demccl4r, OF Chehalis county want

democrats who will vote the ticket, not
members who are willing to boss the
party but fail when it comes to support
