MAURY Is A
BATTLE-GROUND.
Straw From Circuit Coutt Shows
County Democracy is Evenly
Divided Between Bate
and .McMiIIin.

The question Of the attitude Of Maury
county democrats as to the United
States Senatorship race continues to be
1--we subject in political circles. There
is no doubt that the county IS very
close rs between Senator Bate and Gov.
McMiIliu. As an evidence of this fact,
we'll known local politician took the
trouble Tuesday to poll the grand jury
ana the two travis juries now in attend
ance upon the Circuit Court. Out OF
thirty-six members, nineteen were
found to be for Governor McMillin, and
seventeen for Senator Bate. These
iuries are made up OF citizens from
every section of the county, and their
expressions may be taken to be- reaeona-
bly, representative. The grand jury was
favorable to Senator Bate, while both
OF the travis juries leaned TO McMillin.
This shows Maury county is going to be-
battle ground between the two forces.

If there is anything in the world that
counts it is experience.
Experience without theorr is worse
than nothing. "a little knowledge is a
dangerous thing" This store has been
in existence 16 years, and it's service has
always been better than any "experi
ence' druggist could give. it has always
been in charge Of druggist with expe-

this good reason why any careful buy

tons should come to our store. LII there
is anything we do know, it is how to
compound prescriptions.

Robert M. Hardinge, who has just

rector of the New Mexico Climate and
Crop Service in this city and as official
in charge of the local Office of the
Weather Bureau, was born in Saline
County, Missouri, May s. 1868. He re-
ceived his primary education in the
public schools of his native state and
thereafter attended a full term at
Pennsylvania College, Gettysburg.
Pennsylvania, graduating in the class
of 1885. In the same year he entered
the signal service of the United States
army and continued in that service as
weather observer until it was trans
ferred to the Department of Agrlcul-
ture under the name of the Weather
Bureau in 1891 During his term OF

concluded that these requirements
were absolutely necessary and there
fore adopted the above resolutions.
Among the matters taken up was
that of the shortage of ex-Treasurer q.
w. Knaebel Captain Frederick Null
ler, one of the bondsmen, was before
the board and stated that the bonds
men desired that certain allowances
and credits claimed by the ex-treasurer
be approved and allowed and credited
on the accounts by the county commits
sioners. These amounted to little ov-
er $1,700 and were partly for commits
sions of four per cent on sum
amounting to a little over $1,000 re-
ceived from delinquent taxes, but col
lected on suits by the district attor-
new: there were also included claims
for office rent for fourteen months at
$50 per month and charges for tele-
phone service, stamps, stationery, ETC.
The board took this request under con-
sideration and will act upon it later.
Captain Muller also stated that the
bondsmen were ready and prepared to
nav such amounts of the shortages as
the county required for current busi-
ness and that the remainder OF the
shortages would be paid whenever the
county called for it, Upon this state
ment the board passed resolution re-
ouiring the bondsmen to pay into the
county treasury on or before July l
the sum of $4,000, $500 to the county
and $1,5OO for the school fund. Cap
tain Muller stated that this sum would
be promptly paid.
Among the credits claimed by ex
Treasurer Knaebel appears the sum o
something over $1,400, commissions
paid to Assessor M. A. Ortiz. 1t ap
pears that the sum of $1SS was over
paid the assessor by the ex-treasurer
The assessor demurred to this accoun
and first declared that it would not b'
accepted by him and that 1t was no
correct, but finally acknowledged IT
correctness. The board will not CIV
credit for it on ex-Treasurer knaebet
account until the matter is satisfac
torily Strengthened out and until ther
will be no question concerning it.
