UNCLE SAM TO BUILD
A POWDER MILL.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-The in
dications are very favorable to the
move ment to have the United States
Government manufacture it's own
powder. The Government spends
hundreds of thousands of dollars
every year for powder used in target
practice, both by the army and navy.
4. is claimed tnat it spends nearly
twice as much as it should spend for
the purpose, for the reason that the
powder trust has put up prices to such
an enormous extent. The f ortifica-
lions appropriation bill, as it passed
the Senate today, provides for the es-
tablishment of a Government powder
mill, and the sentiment is said to be
in favor of it in the House.
Senator Daniel, of Virginia, who is
on the Committee on Appropriations
said today he thought that Congress
would authorize the erection of a DOW
der factory, and he is thoroughly in
favor of such action. He elected
great deal of valuable information
from witnesses who appeared before
the committee while the Notifications
bill was bling considered, much of it
new.

TALK OF A

Persistent talk is heard on all sides

ties in the state have already elected
delegates to the state convention and

be contesting delegations from a num-

naturally arises as to whether either
Gov. Cox or Gen. Patterson will have
enough undisputed votes when the
convention meets to insure the nomi-
nation, eliminating from the situation
the strength of the contested counties
and the minority vote of Judge Bond.
Hon. J. E. Washington of Robertson
County has been mentioned as a DOS
si6le compromise candidate and Hon.
Alexander Chambliss, former Mayor
OF Chattanooga, has also been named
In this same connection. 1t is not
known whether either of these gentle
men would accept There has been
some conjecture, too, as to what part
Judge Bond, with his comparatively
light backing, will play in the conven-
ton, some gossips being disposed to
consider it likely that the friends of
the Brownlow jurist hope that he may
come in as the compromise man to
harmonic the contending factions.
Much dissatisfaction has been ex-
pressed among conservative Demo
Gratis who do not take an active part
in the campaign, they being displeased
with the present state of affairs in the
party and disappearing of the pending
bitter contests. This element seems
disposed to favor a compromise man
who might be able to unite the oppos-
ing factions and enable the Democrat
lc party to present a solid front to the
Republicans next November.-Nash.

WHO'S BOSS
Town to Vote on Question of Retain
ing School Teacher.

NEW HAVEN, March 22.-Its going
to need town meeting to settle
whether the school board or Miss
Helen Litchfield, the teacher, is run
ming the village school. So far the
teacher has the best of it, The women
in general are with Miss Litchfeld,
They have votes.
The teacher made Willie Frink, aged
~, sit beside her as a punishment for
passing love scribbles to his affinity;
Dr. Knight, the school visitor, tried to
punish Miss Litchfield by discharging
Ter and engaging man teacher,
whom she sent packing; the school
board had noisy meeting over the
issue and had to burn its records of
that session because they were regis
tered as 'disgraceful."
Miss Litchfield held the fort after
that. Another meeting of the board
was held and it was voted to close the
school for the remaining two weeks of
the term. The board adjourned at
midnight, instructing j. G. Hattin, its
clerk, to notify Miss Litchfield.
Mr.. Hattin, despite the lateness of |
the hour, went to her home and
knocked at her door. Papa Litchfield |
responded
What! see my daughter! How
dare you? Get Quit"
Crushed, but duty-bound, Clerk Hat
tin plodded to the school house and
tackled to the door this notice: "This
school closed by order of the board"
Miss Litchfield tripped to school as
usual in the morning, saw the notice
and tore it down. All her pupils came
to school as usual. DR.. knight dropped
in and persisted.
my school goes on and my salary,
too; mind that" was all the comfort
he got
Then Clerk Hattin called, served
formal notice and Miss Litchfield dis
missed the school. Her indignant
friends called the meeting.
