STEEL PAVEMENT
In PARIS
It is Expected to Give Good Surface
For Horses and to Be Very
Durable.
New York Sum-

Paris is experimenting with the lat
est thing in pavement They call i
steel pavement, but it is really a con
crete pavement REINFORCED with &
steel framework. This trial section
of it has been laid on the Rue Saint
| Martin, in front of the conservatoire
of Arts and Industries.
The metal part of the pavement is a
plate of perforated steel with strong
bolts of steel, running through it be-
tween the perforations. Each section
has some resemblance to a steel har-
row, only the prongs projects equally
on each side, and they are square and
blunt.
The plates are arranged close to-
gether on bed of rough concrete
such as is used for wood block pave
ment Then a specially prepared ce-
ment is shovelled upon them in a soft
condition and rammed down until it
makes a solid mass, with the steel
frame just leveled evenly with the
upper tips of the prongs.
The steel prongs are so close to-
gether that the shoe of every horse
and every wheel of any width must
rest on part of them and in part of
he cement. 1t is expected in this
way to secure a highly durable but
distinctly uneven surface, one on
which horses will have sure footing
n all weathers and on which they can
ecure the necessary purchase to pull
eavy loads.
1t will be superior to asphalt In ul-
mate economy and to wood, both in

will broaden and strengthen the repu-
tation Columbia has long enjoyed, Of
being one of the most cultured and
hospitable communities in all this fair
southland, and one of the most de-
lightful little cities in the world to
visit.
The little rivalries and jealousies
and disagreements should not be re-
counted and might well be forgotten;
for on the whole the convention was
beautifully managed and the order
preserved was exceptionally good. AS
compared with the average political
convention with men delegates, the
decOrum was UNNECESSARILY better.
The ladies seemed to know what they
were doing. and the audience at all |
times kept up with the proceedings;
and that is more than may be said |
for the average political convention,
or for the Tennessee legislature much
of the time.
The ladies had their differences and
preferences. Why not? What more
might be expected of -blooded,
loyal, Southern woman? But they
yelled their feelings better than men
do; they couched their attacks in
cheaper language, more free of direct
personal attack; they behaved them
selves" much better than their lords
and masters" do when they get to-
gether to decide matters of great mo-
ment and interest to themselves. If
he last Tennessee Gubernatorial con-
1ention had been half as decorous, half

county of Shelby, would never have

COURT TURNS
OUT OFFICIALS
LOUISVILLE is LEFT WITHOUT
ANY RULERS UNDER THE
COURT OF APPEALS
DECISION.

FRANKFORT KY, May 22.-ThC
Court of Appeals today handed dowr
its opinion in the contested election
cases from the city of Louisville and
Jefferson County, upholding the con
tentionS of the Fusionists and declar.
ing the election void. thus reversing
the decision of Judges Miller and Kir-
by of the Jefferson Circuit Court.
The court rules that Gov. Beckham
has the power to fill the vacancies by
appointment, and an election for all
city and county officials is ordered for
next November The decision of the
court is unanimous.
The opinion of the court was handed
down by Judge John Lassing and was
not dissented from by any member of
the court. The written opinion deals
in detail with election outrages and
the use of the police at the polling
places on registration and election
days. 1t declares them to be as re-
pulsive to the citizens as would be ]
the use of State troops, and not to be |
tolerated in future elections. The |
methods of both Fusionists
and Democrats in the election are de-
and so is the use of over
100000 campaign fund in the con-
est.

the extract, not because | thought it

his stomach would not contain it.

drank only three.
This extract is the same sold by
every grocer and every druggist in !
Columbia, and is about ninety per

CEMETERY

(Gen. Morris Schaff, in the AtlanticJ
BY following a road overshadowed
by chestnut trees one soon reaches the
cemetery where many officers of dis
tinction are buried. The surround
ings. the river so peacefully flowing
on below you, Crow Nest rising so
near and SO loftily above you, the
bordering present OF over-bendng
trees, the hills and distant fleckered
landscapes, all bring pictures OF
beauty and a sense of great peace.
1t has none of that loneliness so SIN
cerely solemn of the out-of-the-way
country graveyards; and certainly
none of the city cemeteries hollow
mockery of death by flowers and
walks and evergreens. And yet there
is sweet, holy pensiveness about ioS
which, like plaintive music, has mel
lowed the heart of many a cadet.
And If, while wandering here and
there in it, the bugle's notes came

faded away; and the butterfly waver-

CooKEvTLLE. Tenn. May 22.-Th,
grand jury this afternoon returned I
true bill against W. s. Bryant anC
Mrs. Sadie Vestal. charging them
jointly with the murder of Chalmers
Vestal at Baxter last February
The implication of Mrs. vestal in
this case was looked for by many, but
to some IL came as both a surprise
and shock. Before Vestal was killed
she stood high in society in this coun-
ty and was known by the best people
here. She was Miss Sadie Bishop, of
Ills Nassau street, Nashville, Tenn,
and married Chalmers Vestal, who
was her first cousin Il is expected
that she will be brought to Cookeville
tomorrow, and much interest and con-
Germ as to whether she will be al
lowed bond is manifest.
AS sooI as the true bill against
Bryan was returned he was brought
to the court house. Attorney General
w. r. Officer moved that he be re-
manded to JAIL which motion precip-
ltated a lengthy and heated argument
among counsel. The defense insisted
that the bond for $4,000 nov in effect

Whitley deserted his wife in Nash
vile about four weeks ago. He had
been living with her fourteen years
and they have one daughter On May
LIST. about a week after deserving his
Nashville wife, he married Miss Liz
zie Harris. daughter of Mr.. Dave Har-
ris Of Goodwin. In some way the Nash
vile wife heard that her husband had
come to Columbia and had married.
so she wrote TO County Court Clerk
Hardin Thomas and from the marriage
licenee books he confirmed the re-
port. She then came to Columbia and
issued warrant not only for her hus- |
band, but for the girl he married, who,
she claims, had been going with Whit
ley in Nashville for a long time and
knew when she married him that she
was marrying a married man. The
Young lady however, claims that she
lid not know that Whitley was a mar
lied man and says he told her he had
/ divorce.
Whitley. when he appeared before
ESQ. Fariss. stated that he knew he
lad done wrong and would have to
tand his punishment, and insisted on
he magistrate sentencing him to the
enitentiary and sending him on. Mr..
'ariss had no authority to do that,
owever, and could only bind him over

irl-wife was set for Saturday, and she
