SINGULAR Silence.

Recently the Manatee county pa
pers came out with some very large
headlines about the exoneration Of
John A. Graham. Meantime, Claude
L. Engle has published an editorial In
which he calls Mr.. Graham about all
the names he can In print, and defies
Graham to sue him for libel or any.

issue or the Manatee papers to see IL
one or more oil them would not have
something pretty strong against eth.
er LEngle or Graham.
Not one of them has peeped about
THE SUN or Graham. The Braden-
town Herald has q long editorial
against independence, and for party
fealty, and the Manatee Record quotes
la paragraph from the True Democrat,
without comment.
We expected the Manatee papers
would say something In this issue
either for or against the whitewash-
ling Graham received, but the idea OF
a dread silence when a man had been
attacked, who was considered At to

is something beyond us. We under

In the semi-annual appoint
ment by the Comptroller of
State, Grundy County's warrant
which will be issued on January
/, 1907, will be 265. 20 for a scho-
lastic population of 3,143. The
law governing this is found in
the acts of 1878, section AZ, chap
ter 25, as follows: "All moneys
in the treasury of the state for
the annual support of the public
schools on the first Monday in
April and October of each year
shall be apportioned by the
Comptroller among the several
counties of the state, according
to scholastic population, as re-

Chambers Joke on Conkling.

Roscoe Oonkling was a capital
boxer and quite proud of his
skill. One evening after consid-
cradle banter he induced Sena-
tor Chandler to "put on the
gloves" with him, He played
with Chandler for q few rounds,
much to the discontinue of the
downeaster. The latter bided
his time and some time later
quietly brought professional
pugilist to dinner where Conk-
ling was a guest. In the course
of the evening "Mr. Smith" was
induced to engage in boxing
bout with Mr.. Conkling. The
professional danced around the
senator, landing when and where
he wished, playing with him as
he would with a punching bag.
The elegant New York senator
was dazed, overwhelmed, humi-
lated, crushed. When he sur
rendered and called enough, as
he did at last, Senator Chandler
smiled blandly and presented the
pugilist in his true colors.

Injunction Perpetual.

There was final disposition Of
the injunction case of the Ten
nessee Consolidated Coal Com
pany against the United Mine
Workers of America before the
Chancery Court of Appeals in
Nashville last week. j. j. Lynch,
representing the compliments,
and Bancroft Murray, represent
ing the defendants, consented to
a decree in the cause making the
INJUNCTION perpetual, and the
costs are assessed to the COM
plainant.
This suit was instituted last
year on account of troubles here
which resulted in the Governor
sending soldiers to protect
life and property and preserve
order following the killing of
Jim Rust and Dick Henley at
Reid Hillfnines and the wound
ing of John McGoyern. Recent
ly the strike has been called off,
and it was regarded as inmate

tered, and the company consent

there is handled merchandise of

City and other good business
points, and famous Beersheba.
While the Tracy City Branch is
only twenty-seven miles in
length, and passes through a
barren plateau, it is at the same
time a most important territory

Mrs. Jefferson Davis Dead.

Mrs. Jefferson Davis, widow of
the President of the Confederacv,
who had been i'll for week at
the Hotel Majestic III New York
City, died at 10 .25 O'Clock Tues
day night. Death was due to
pneumonia induced by a severe
cold which Mrs. Davis contracted
upon her return from the Adiron-
dacks where she had spent the
summer. Although grave fears
were felt from the first, Mrs.
Davis wonderful vitality which
brought her safely through a
similar attack year ago, gave
hope of ultimate recovery until
Monday night, when a decided
change for the worse was evident
and the attending physicians
announced that the end was near.
1t was then believed that Mrs.
Davis could not survive the
night, but she rallied slightly
during the early hours Tuesday
but shortly after seven O'Clock
had a sinking spell which lapsed
into a state of coma, that period
of unconsciousness continued to
the end.
