CAT ADOPTED
RABBIT

City Marshal Webb tells a very
pretty story of a recent occurrence at
Riverside, which has assumed the
proportion of an event 10 the minds
Of the children of that thriving com
munity.
An old cat, the pet of many of the
children of the community, disap-
peared and in a day or two was
found giving motherly attention to a
number of kittens OF course the
children were delighted, but their de-
light knew no bounds, when on closer
inspection they discovered that one of
the supposed-to-be kittens, was baby
rabbit. All the neighborhood children
were called in and the little rabbit
was carried about the neighborhood
that all might see. The old cat OBJ
iected to this attention to one of her
charges, and the rabbit disappeared.
The children ceased their attentions,
and after a day of quietude, the old
cat went to the spot where she had
hidden the rabbit and brought it back
to her bed. When the rabbit first dis
appeared, the children concluded the
cat had eaten it, When it re-appeared,
they thought another one of the kit
tens had turned to a rabbit, and if
they would wait long enough, all of
them would go through the same evo-
luton. Upon counting the kittens,
however, they found none were miss
ing and that the baby rabbit was the
same they had first discovered.

NEW PRINCIPAL FOR
MOORE INSTITUTE

Prof. William McNeilly, Orlinda,
Robertson County, has been secured
as principal of Moore Institute, at Cul-
leeka. Mr.. Nelly has been princi-
pal of the Orlinda school for twelve
years and comes to Moore Institute
very highly recommended as a teach
err and a disciplinarian. The trustees
of the school have raised a consider
able sum of money which will be ex-
pended on the grounds and buildings
during vacation, and by the time
school begins the grounds and build
ings will have an entirely different
appearance. Prof. Graham sent In his
resignation to the trustees several
months since and was not an applicant
for the school any longer Prof.
Graham has had charge of the school
for ten years, and has been a teacher
for thirteen years and had grown
tired of the work and will devote his
time to his farm. Miss Lutte Tomlin-
son, who has been with the school for
the past three years, has also resigned
and will rest for year. Prof. Nelly
has not arrived in Culleoka and moth
ing is known as to the plans of the
school or who his assistants will be.

ton of Judge Taylor by reclamation
which was agreed to.
The fact that the Patterson men
choose a Cox man for chairman OF the
Committee is construed an admission
that they cannot control the Commit
tee.
Another test vote was taken on the
Mace of meeting. Austin Peay OF
Clarksville, who is for Patterson
moved to meet in the Chamber OIL
Commerce building. Mr.. Mcmahon OF
the Cox faction amended by naming
the Supreme Court room. The amend
ment carried to 4.
The Patterson strength is composed
of A. ]. Coates of the Tenth District
Spiral Hill of the Ninth, G. R. Berry
of the Seventh and Austin Peay OF the
Sixth.
The Cox-Bond strength is as fol-
lows: ]. H. Caldwell Of the First
District, Thos. E. Mclean OF the
Second. T. P. Mcmahon Of the Third,
Brown swafford of the Fourth, r. 9.
Armstrong of the Fifth and ]. M. Tay'
lor of the Eighth.
It is claimed that Judge Taylor at
heart prefers Patterson to Cox, out Is
instructed for Cox and will obey In
structions. If he does on all test
questions, the vote will stand 4 for
Patterson, for the Bond-Cox combi-
nation.
If Judge Taylor waivers at any time
the vote will stand to 5, all the
members except Judge Taylor are
strictly partisan.
The committee adjourned to meet
at 1880 in the Supreme Court room.

Mr.. Gardner then testified that S37..

done and added that the site of the
building might be moved forty feet.

Secretary Wilson was questioned by
the committee and made long pre-.
pared statement in defense of the
present construction.
How can you justify your posi-.
tion?" asked Chairman Tawney.
When you made your plan, if you be-
came satisfied that $1,500,000 was not
enough, l should have thought you
would have informed Congress before
going on with the plan you adopted"
you have a wrong idea in your
mind there" said Mr.. Wilson. We
made a plan to exhaust $1,500,00O. We
built in such a way that Congress
might add to it, and we made no plans

The Secretary then went on to de.
tail the great growth of the depart.
ment and to defend his course in
erecting wings that might be added
to. The Secretary at several points
asked Mr. Tawney to get out of his
mind the idea that he had any com
pleted plan; that he was going to
make a demand for further buildings
or that more money would be asked
for
DR.. Galloway and Mr.. Wilson, con
tradicting the testimony of Mr.. Gard

that the wings would accommodate
the administrative force, but both
admitted that they did not contem-
plate tearing down the present ad-
ministrative building as directed by
Congress.
Members of the committee assured
Mr.. Wilson that they did not suspect
his integrity or take issue with his
wisdom at this time, but that they did
not think he had authority in law for
what he had done.
To a suggestion of this kind, the
Secretary tartly replied; You make

State Committee.
The district members of the new
State Democratic Committee Will prob
ably be equally divided between the
Patterson and Cox factions. The
members from the first five districts
are understood to be supporters OF the
Governor. The three member selected
from the Sixth. Eighth and Tenth
districts are Patterson paItisans, and
the committeeman from the Seventh
and Ninth districts, 1t is practically
certain, will be selected from the ranks
of the Patterson forces In addition
there will be a number selected from
the State at LARGE unless party prac-
tice for many years is changed. There
is disposition TO do this, as the APP
pointment of additional members tor
the purpose of giving the candidate
for Governor control of the commit
tee has resulted in giving rise to the
CRY OF machine aud one-msu power.
The number, If any, to be appointed
from the State at large will depend
upon the action of the convention.
Two years ago nine members were
appointed from the State at large two
from East Tennessee, four from MID
die Tennessee and three from West
Tennessee. This is the largest Dum-
Der ever selected by the Permanent
Chairman of the convention, and 1t is
