here today nominated the following
ticket:
For State Treasurer-N. L. Plot.

struction-Miss Caroline Groute, OF
Pike County.
For Trustees of the University of

BY vote of 1,OSS to $40 the Demo-

BILE the request of William ]. Bryan
for the resignation of Roger C. Sui
livan from the National Committee
Despite the fact that Mr.. Bryan
had declared that he did wish to be
Endorsed unless Sullivan was repudiat-
ed, the convention declared him to
be the one and only man capable of
leading the Democratic party to vic
tory in 1908.
The Endorsement of Mr.. Bryan and
the tabling of the motion calling for
the resignation of Mr.. Sullivan came
at the close of q most exciting session
of the convention in which there
we're several fights, and throughout
which confusion reigned supreme. The
Committee on Resolutions declined to
report a plank calling for the resig-

RIGHT MAN IN

while the coming fair already had
every prospect of a bright success,
Mr.. McGaw's connection with the work
will make the meeting bigger and bet

work along this line and gave proof of
his ability and aptitude for
the work At that time agricul-
tural and stock raising interests had
reached such low ebb, that it was
difficult to get any one to take hold of
the fall fairs, but the late Benny
Thomas, whose energy and enterprise
were proverbial, called upon Mr.. Nc
Cav and the two brought success out
of what looked like certain failure,
and placed the fairs on successful
basis.

LARGEST CORN
CROP KNOWN
TENNEssEE's YIELD is EsTIMAT-
ED AT 1o0,ooo,ooo' BUSHELS.
VALUED AT s5O,OOO.OOo

According to reports received at
the office of the Commissioner of Ag-
riculture, and estimates which have
been made by competent authorities,
the corn crop in Tennessee this year
will be the greatest ever produced in
the history of the State. All reports
Indicate that the acreage is larger
than ever before planted, and also that
the yield is more promising than ever
before. The State Department and tn
before. The State Department and
the United State Department of Ag-
rieulture receive their information
from different sources, but both prac-
tically agree in the estimates made
on the acreage and condition of the
crops.
According to the statement recent
" issued by the Department of Agri-
culture at Washington the condition
of the corn crop of Tennessee on Aug.
was 95 points. The average at this
time of the year for the past ten
years has been 81. Therefore the
crop this year promises better yield
per acre by II per cent. than the av-
erage yield for the past ten years.
According to the estimates of the DEL
partment at Washington the average
corn yield in Tennessee last year was
twenty-four bushels per acre. The i
State Department estimates the yield |
at twenty-four bushels per acre. There |
is every reason to believe That the
yield per acre this year will equal if |
it does not exceed thirty bushels.
One of the chief crops of Tennessee
is corn, and in amount and in value 1t |
is the States most valuable farm pro-
duct. The yield for the State last !
year was 77,207,9 12 bushels, and Ten
nessee was the tenth State in the
amount of corn produced. Only the
following States, in the order named,
produced a larger crop of corn in 1905
than Tennessee: Illinois, Iowa, Ne
braska, Missouri, Kansas, | indiana,
Texas, Ohio and Kentucy The first
three States named produced an ag-
gregate crop of nearly 1,00O,0O0,OOO
bushels.
In the number of bushels of corn
per acre Tennessee led all the South
ern States except Kentucky, the av-
erage in that State last year being
twenty-nine bushels to the acre. In
diana's average was forty bushels per
acre; larger than that of any other
State in the Union.
Estimating the condition of the
crop at IL per cent. better than the
average and taking into consideration
the big increase in the acreage plant
ed, that Department of Agriculture
that the crop this year will
be close to the 1OO,OO0,000 mark.
Should the average price this year
be equal to that received last year,
fifty cents per bushel, the total value
Of the crop would be $50,00O,0OO. The
value of last years crop was estimat-
ed by the United States Department
Of Agriculture at $3S,60S, $50. With
the best and most valuable crop of
wheat ever known, and with the prom
se Of corn crop worth 25 per cent.
more than that of last year, the farm
ers of Tennessee can congratulate
upon being about the most
fortunate people in this country.

'SQU|RES

FROM TAKING SEATS IN MAURY
COUNTY COURT.
ueual Transactions Alleged, and
Judge Cartwright, Of Nashville,
Issues Fiat.

Judge ]. A. Cartwright on Monday
granted a fiat for temporary iniunc-
tons against four members of the
Maury County Court taking their
seats. The complaints, which are in
the name of the State, on relations,
etc. were presented to Judge Cart
wright by Attorneys Thos. H. PEBBLES
and John Brown, of Columbia. The
purpose of the suits Is to unseat the
Magistrates, have them declared in
eligible to hold Office for ten years,
and to recover money alleged to have
been illegally paid to them on con-
tracts with county institutions.
The suits, it is said, have caused
a great sensation in Columbia, and
it is stated that this is only the be-
ginning of series of suits to be en-
tered against members of the County
Court, many of whom, it is claimed,
have received money illegally from
the county.
c c. Denton, w. E. Ballanfant, Al
len Holt and ]. B. Lowell are the de-
fenIants, and all have been reelected
Justices of the Peace for Maury Coun-
~. and the iniunctions that will issue
will unseat them. for the remainder
of the present term and prohibit them
from being sworn in for the new term
until after the cases are tried on
their merits.
The charges are that the defendants
have been contracting with them
selves and receiving money from the
county treasury unlawfully. The
prayers of the bills seek to recover
the sums thus unlawfully appropriated
and unseat the defendants and have
them declared ineligible to the Office
for ten years, as provided by statute.
There has been, it is said, consider
able illegal and loose contracting by
the County Court of Maury County.
1t is alleged that defendants served
on various commissions and were paid
for services in violation of the statute,
and that they also sold supplies to
different county institutions. The to-
tai amount involved in the transac-
lions mentioned in the bill is about
$1,000.
The case may come up for trial be-
fore Chancellor Bearden at chambers, |
and if not, will be on the docket at the
October term of Chancery Court OF
Maury County. Nashville American. |
There were rumors even before the
election that some action would be
taken in this matter, though there
was no positive information as to all
the magistrates who would be named
in case suit was brought. Messrs.
PEBBLES and Brown have been going !
over the appropriation docket for /
some weeks past and 1t is said the
names of more than half the magis-
trates OF the present court were un-
der consideration.
1t was the opinion about the court
house this morning that the suit real
ly had it's inspiration from the bitter
fight for magistrate in the Fifth Dis
trict at the last election, and this i'm
preston is borne out by the fact that
both the magistrates elected from this
district are named in the bill. Mr.. r.
Wilkes, an uncle of Mr.. PEBBLES,
was the defeated candidate in this
district.

named in the suit have been guilty

A brief cable message was received a.

Commander Hosley. commanding the expe-
dillon towing the dry dock Dewey to the
Philippines. saying that his small fleet
left Las Palmas yesterday with Port Said
at the entrance to the Suez Canal, as his
next stopping place.
Some details regarding the dry dock are
given by Captain Mckee Of the British
steamship Belfast, which has just arrived
at Baltimore from Las Palmas
The Belfast was discharging coal at
Las Palmas when the Dewey and her tow
arrived at that port The big machine
was placed inside and alongside the break
water, where the needed repairs were
made The damage TO the dock and her
consorts, Captain Mckee said, was not OF
great importance, the principal part being
the loosening Of some rivets in gussets
and elsewhere, which Commander Hosley
decided should be repaired in that harbor
before continuing his trip. The towing
machinery of the Brutus and Potomac
had suffered somewhat, but altogether
there was nothing that could be regarded
as serious, Captain Mckee thought The
Tacoma arrived a Las Palmas with some
parts OF machinery which were not really
needed.

The Double Chin.

From the Boston Transcript.
This war on the double chin that Is max
ing IN certain circles is one more proof that
Il IL possible to have too much of good
thing Lines and poems have been written
to chins by poets good. bad and Indifferent
since time began. and dimpled chins have
induced rhapsodies without end. But the
double chin-that's quite another matter.
And as for the three times chin, that is
simply intolerahle. 1t is only 1t seems
when there is just one chin, and that not
a very prominent one. that it is considered
suitable for the subject of a song, or really
fit 10 live. When a chin doubles on itself 1t
is no longer on the list of available topics
for poets. Artists seek it not in models
they paint Ii only when well-paying sitter
presents It, and then under an unwritten
order to reduce it's doubling quality as much
as possible. In literature and in pictures
the double chin Is placed only with the
prosiest text. II is Just a horrible example
of what TO avoid and directions for parting
with IL by various means are recommended.
They are read these double-chin stories,
quite as enthusiastically as ever We're any
of the single-chin odes For the possessor
of one chin gives 1t little thought. but the
owner of two or three thinks OF his possess
sion day and night. and anything said or
written concerning the fea ture seeming of

full attention,
