SAYS STATE
WILL GO DRY
AsHsuRY WRIGHT URGES PRoIl-
BITIoN BY AMENDMENT TO
CONSTITUTION.
He Favors Taft-Wants the Secretary
of War For the Next President.

Tennessee will be dry state with
in a few years-probably within the
next two, and while the sentiment is
so strong for temperance ! believe
that our prohibition law should be
written into the constitution" This
declaration was made last night by
Hon. T. Asbury Wright, of lockwood,
one of the leading Republicans Of the
state, and one of the most prominent
members of the Tennessee bar.
Mr. Wright has the distinction OF
being the author of the anti-jug law
of lockwood, the first anti-jug law
ever passed by a municipality in Ten
nessee. In discussing the law, Mr..
Wright stated that it would have one
of two effects. 1t would, If sustained
by the courts, of which he has little
doubt, be the means by which practi-
cally every dry town in Tennessee
would prevent liquor shipments.
Should the law be not sustained by
the courts, it would, in his judgment,
result in sentiment that would enact
drastic anti-jug law by the next leg
islature, and would help create SEN
timent that would influence congress
to prevent interstate shipments to dry
territory
Temperance sentiment has had a
remarkable growth in Tennessee"
said Mr.. Wright, land ! believe that
the state will ultimately pass
straight prohibition law. / was one
of the supporters of the prohibition
amendment in 1907, and made my first
public speech in that campaign, and |
would be glad to take the stump again
for similar cause.
THE next legislature should, at it's
session, submit an amendment to the
constitution forever prohibiting the
manufacture, storage or sale of spir-
itous. vinous, or malt liquors within
this state, and it should be made the
duty of the legislature to pass appro-
pirate legislation for the enforcement
of this provision. The time is ripe
for such an amendment, and / have
not the slightest doubt that it would
be ratified at the polls by an over
whelming majority This would then
forever remove the liquor question
and the liquor interests from the pol
itics of the state Nashville Tonnes

ALLEGED
FORGED NOTES
SAID TO HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED
THE WRECKED BANK.

GALLATIN, Tenn, July 23.-The
latest developments in the bank scan
dal at this place came unexpectedly
this afternoon although the facts can
not be vouched for. 1t is rumored
over the town that forged notes
amounting to $4,000 have been I'M
covered in the Peoples National Bank
today. These notes, so it is said,
were held as a kind of reserve fund
in case of an unexpected examination
of the bank, and do not enter into the
deficit of the alleged $4,000.
Just what will be the outcome OF
the investigation Of the bank no one
can even conjecture, but 1t is WINS
pered around in business circles that
the shortage will reach $75,OOO, OF
even more.
The forged notes alleged to nave
been found today are drawn on some
of the best business men OF Gallatn'
rumor connecting the names OF Hol'
der Brown & More, w. G. Scnam'
berger & Co, M. Will and others.
Other developments are expected al
any hour, and the quiet which mas
prevailed since the bank first closed
is now about to give way TO some e4'
element as the rumors gain currency

HEARST BOOM IS
BEING ARRANGED
C. A. WALSH is TRAVELLING IN
THE SOUTH WITH THAT OBJ
JECT IN VIEW.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, July %
In an autograph letter addressed to
Henry Peck Fry, of this city, @. A.
Walsh, former Secretary of the Demo
cratic National Committee and now
prominent in the organization of the
Hearst independence League, an
nounces his intention of attempting to
perfect an organization of the league
in Tennessee, Georgia ad Alabama.
Mr.. Walsh is now in Memphis.
Mr.. Fry was in charge of the Hearst
boom in this section three years ago
and the letter addressed to him was in
the nature of confidential communi-
cation, but Mr.. Fry, staunch Demo
crat now, did not relish the idea OF
assisting In another Hearst boom and
gave out the letter.
Mr.. Walsh stated to Mr.. Fry that 1t
was the intention to call a conference
at the Gilsey House in New York at
an early date of a number OF delegates
from the three States mentioned, at
which time plans would be laid for the
complete organization of what was
termed 1.-THE National League" in the
Southern States. He requested the
privilege OF using Mr.. Fry's name as
delegate along with others promi-
nent in political circles in Chatta-
nooga Full plans were outlined and
1t is evident the Southern States will
be worked to finish to back Hearst
Presidential boom in the next election.

SPECULATION.
He May Run For Senate If carmaek
Runs For Governor, II Is Said.

BRISTOL, Tenn, July 23.-The at
titude of the temperance people to-
word former Governor Cox is a mat
ter OF much speculation in local politi-
cal circles. They are avowedly OPP
posed to Representative Parks Wor-
ley, whom the whisky people Of Bris-
toll thank for lease of life until Nov.
/, instead of May l, the date proposed
by the temperance leaders.
AS a member of the senate Cox was
bitterly against the anti-jug bill, which
was temperance measure of second
importance only to the Pendleton bill,
and which the advocates of prohibit
ton all over the state were clamor-
ing for. Evidence of the demand for
this measure has been furnished since
the adjournment of the legislature, by
the passage in no less than a dozen
towns in the state of anti-jug laws.
Cox also sought to have the pro-
posed Pendleton law amended, 1t is
believed by many temperance people,
for the purpose of rendering it multi
farious and consequently unconstiut-
tional. He was eager for the incor-
poration of a local option clause in
the bill. AS the Adams law OF
which the Pendleton law is an ex-
tension, is the opposite to local OPP
ton. many of the best lawyers in the
state say that Cox's amendment, had
it been passed, would have rendered
the entire enactment invalid. There
is a surprisingly large element OF tenn
perance people who attribute to him
design to emasculate the bill.
Many of the former governors
friends believe he is out OF polltics,
while others say that il Carmack runs
for governor he will make the race for
the senate. Joseph H. Burrow, a we'll
known lawyer of Bristol, is believed
to be slated by the dry element for the
senate, while James A. Millard will be
the candidate against Worley for tho
house
Senator Carmack is immensely pop
ular in Bristol, Sullivan county and
INNER East Tennessee. He showed
his popularity when he carried Bristol
over Bob Taylor by neat majority.
This is the former home of the sena-
tor-elect and probably there were not
two men in the state who commanded
more influence in this immediate Sec
ton.

SUIT LINES OF

CARTHAGE, Tenn, July 2S.-The
cumberland Telephone Company for
seyeral days past has been kept busy
,eoairing it shines, which have been
u, nv unknown parties. The trouble
seams to have arisen from a rule re-
.entIy adopted by the company not
.l,ouing non-subscribers to talk over
ne lines without paying for 1t. Here
+osore boxes have been rented to sub
scribers and any one who desired
conld talk over the exchanges in the
country free Of charge. This privi-
1ege has in many instances been
sbused to such an extent that the
company was forced to make a rule
emitting out non-subscribers. 1t has
heen recently ascertained that in one
locality a box was rented by a sub
scriber and the rentals were paid to
him by a number OF parties living in
that neighborhaad, all of whom used
the box freely. This has been done
in number of instances in other
narts of the county and the company,
in Justice to itself, made the rule.
The enforcement has caused quite a
lot of friction, and few nights ago
At Riddleton fourteen of the CON-
nanys lines were cut, COM
pletely severing connection between
this office, Dixon's Springs, Huntsville
and other important points. The lines
were promptly repaired by the COM
pany and the trouble was thought to
be over, but last night seven lines
were cut again in the same locality,
and the end of the trouble is not in
sight If the perpetrators are iound
out they will be prosecuted.

Highland Mines.

J. E. Kennedy, in the Galena Tri-
bune: Highland, whose shipments
have decreased one-half in the last
month, still finds employment, never
theless, for her stationary class OF
miners. The Highland Mining COM
pany, whose mill was destroyed by
fire during the month. retains the bulk
of its men. Many of those thrown out
of employment by the closing down OF
the Observation-Disclosures, found work
at the Clark, which recently increased
it's working force. The Clark mine,
owned by the Mineral Point Zinc COM
pany, is being worked to its full limit;
the mill, which has been increased to
100 tons daily capacity, is kept grind
ing two shifts; mine dirt is hoisted by
means of cage which raises one ton
per trip. Gasoline furnishes the mo-
tive power.
All debris and remains from the
devastated mill of the Highland Min
ing company have been cleared away
new 100-ton mill to take the place of
predecessor. The plant will be model
throughout: located alongside the
| tracks of the Mineral Point & North
ern Ry. Ore chutes will be so arran-
ged that cars can be loaded, with
direct aid of gravity, thus eliminating
the slow and expensive process of
shoveling. The power plant will be
built separate from the mill building.
The Wallace is mining and cleaning
in the old fashioned way or hand
method with good results. Things at
the Wallace are ideal for hand work.
In the first place the ground Jack is
Disseminated is easily broken and
being of a soft, brittle character is
readily crushed; the mine is perfectly
dry, thus requiring no pumping, while
a nearby creek affords a water supply
for washing. The ore ground is rich
and the jack a high grade, having
tested $40 metallic zinc unroasted.
Three to four men working in the
mine keep busy three men, including
one hand jigger, at the washplace; the
average daily production is two tons
of cleansed jack.
Work on St. Anthony mill is COM
pleted and the plant will commence
grinding soon.
The Red Jacket at Centerville is
now equipped with jigs for it's ore and
will settle down to real work.
The Franklin continues it's regular
shipments of drybone concentrates.

its horns. He was thrown to the
ground, but luckily escaped serious
