Scene Of Much Speculation Among
Republican Leaders.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Sept. 10
Following a conference with Hon
James A. Fowler, of Knox, and Newell
Sanders here last night, Jesse M. Lit
Teton, of Winchester, came to town
last night for a conference with
friends of Foster v. Brown. Just the
object of this conference is hard to
determine, but it is believed some ar
rangement is trying to be made for
the next Republican candidate for gov
ernor. At least that is the rumor.
The Hon. Newell will not rest content
until he has driven Mr.. Brown off the
track, like he did T. A. Wright in the
last state fight, so the state chairman
and Evans leader is busy day and
night planning his various tilts with
the Republicans tinged with Brown
lowism.
Mr. Brown has announced he is not
candidate for the BrNwnlow faction,
UuJ IAI0 uOC6 SdlloLy "A
local Republican said this morning:
Take Mr.. Hale for national commit
teeman and give Mr.. Brown the NOM
ination for governor, but this would
not suit the Brownlowites nor the
Evans faction either. Sanders does
not want Brown for Governor and
Brownlow would pass in his checks
if Hale should be chosen national
committeeman. In the meantime the
fight goes on and if there is not soon
a compromise on the candidate for
governor you will hear the cannon
roar in Tennessee. Brownlow will
pass his new judgship bill next con-
gress, giving Tennessee new fed
eral judge, and Hale and Sanders have
sworn they will make this appoint
ment"

A WARNING TO TURN
PIKE COMPANIES
To Editor Herald:

To Editor Herald:
For the benefit of the travelling pub
lie, and as a warning hint to turnpike
owners, desire to call attention to
chapter 5S4 Acts of the Legislature Of
1905, and the 1907 amendment. The
1905 law was through an oversight
drawn so as to make it unconstitu-
tional, but the amendment OF 1907
cures the defect.
This Act requires all Turnpike Com
panies in this county, Immediately at
ter metaling their road, to spread upon
the beaten metaling coat of dirt,
sand, gravel or ground rock, and q
failure to do this is a misdemeanor
and subjects the company to fine
of $40 for EACH DAY the company
collects toll while the metaling Is not
so covered
1t does seem that so plain law
would be observed by the turnpike
companies If the next Grand Jury
SlOulu IhuICJ SOule VI Tic OhNuuihS
companies for failure to so cover the
crushed stone, it would bring down
the wrath of the company upon the
head of the prosecutor, and the cry OF
persecution" would go up from the
company.
Maury county is about to inaugurate
her fair, and it's fine horses will be
one of the attractions; but to drive
these beautiful animals over some OF
our unlawful pixies, would not only
be cruel to the horse but ruinous to
the vehicle.
Maury county wants good roads and
the travelling public is willing to pay
for the privilege of driving over such
roads; but to pay the tolls now re-
quired and yet be compelled to drive
over and wear down the mass or
broken stone is more than should be
asked or expected by the company,
even if 1t does save the company a
little expense. 1t is penny-wise and
policy they are pursu-
ing, and some of them will be losing
their charter rights If they continue
to disobey the law. The people are
slow to wrath and long suffering; but
once they become aroused and get
their heads set against public cor
poration, that corporation has rocky
road to travel.
What is everybody's business Is
nobody's business" but turnpike COM
panies should not be permitted to vio-
late a plain state statute, and go Scott
free. Some citizen, some good citi-
zen, not for personal spite, but for the
public good, on every turnpike In this
county where this law is being is-
nored and violated, should report 10
TACT to the grand jury. Any cit.e' Il
has the right to do that and ID. He
ought to be one or more law abiding
,itizens who will take it upon tltm-
sleeves to do this public duty for the
public good.
The writer has no prejudice or i'll
ceiling against any of the turnpike
companies in Maury county, or their
but he believes this to be
good law, and more than that he
believes in Law, and Law Enforce
nent. GOOD ROADS.

r. S. Monical, a fiagman on the St

noon at Cordova by Hugh Davidson. a
passenger on the train and said to be
son of the chief OF police Of Cordova.
Meagre reports of the tragedy were
received here. However. from the
statement of passengers it would seem
that Monical had angered Davidson
by asking him not to stand on the
middle platform. Davidson is said to
have been drinking.
When the train reached Cordova
Davidson is alleged to have jumped of
and obtained a pistol from a bystand-
err Mounting the train he isssaid to
have rushed down the aisle Of one OF
the coaches and began shooting at
Monical.
The first shot fired is said to have
passed through Monicafs arm, who
cried out in alarm, "Oh God, don't kill
me-
The second shot entered the chest
and the third the abdomen. Two re-
naming bullets went wild. When the
smoke had cleared away Monical was
found to be MORALLY wounded.
The shooting caused the most in
tense excitement on the train. Passen-
gers we're greatly alarmed for fear
that they would be struck by stray
bullets, while women and children
screamed in terror.
Monical was brought to Birming-
