RESIGNATION OF
REV. W. B. CAPT RS
is SUBMITTED TO MEMBERS OF
ST. PETER S CHURCH OF
COLUMBIA.
CHURCH WILL NOT ACCEPT IT
Reetor's Duties As Principal of Co
lumbia Institute The cause.-New
Vestry Elected.

The annual meeting of the members
of St Peters parish was held Monday
night in the church with fairly large
attendance. A letter was read from
the rector of the church, Rev. w. B.
Capers, in which Mr. Capers offered
his resignation as rector. The letter
was simply read for the information
of the church members, but no action
was taken on it, the matter being
deferred till the next meeting of the
vestry. In the meantime it is hoped
that Mr.. Capers can be persuaded to
reconsider and that he will continue
to serve the church where he has
worked so faithfully during the past
six or eight years, with credit not only
to himself and the church, but to the
entire community. 1t is understood
that the resignation was prompted by
reason of Mr.. Caper's connection with
the Columbia Institute. AS principal
of that splendid school a large part
OF his time and attention is taken up
in the management of the institution
and the welfare of the young lady
pupils. He though it best therefore
to place his resignation before the
church so that the members, in case
they thought too much of his time is
taken up with the school duties,
might have an opportunity of securing
another rector. 1t is the opinion of a
very large majority of the members
of the church, however, if not of all
that the school duties do not interfere
with Mr.. Capers work as rector and
that the church would have great diff

NEW MAILING
LIST IS OUT
w. II. PURYEAR AND FLEM THOM-
AS HAVE MOST RELIABLE
WORK.

The Mailing List of Maury county,
containing thirty-five routes and
twelve post Offices, embracing 5000
names has just been completed by
The Herald Job department. The
work of compilation was done by
Messrs. Harris Puryear and A. F..
Thomas, and is one of the most COM
plete lists ever gotten out. Nearly
all, if not all, of the heads of families
and all the young men who are tax
payers and voters in the county are
in the book. The work of getting the
names together has required great
deal of time and attention, and con-
sidering the work done on the book
in every way it is well worth the price
asked, $1,000. Mr.. Puryear, the chief
compiler, has already sold consid-
cradle number of the lists and has
promise for the sale of many more.
1t is an indispensable necessity to the
business man.

NORMAL.

MT. PLEASANT, Tenn, April 49,
This was the semi-monthly pay day
at Mt. Pleasant and the town was
filled with miners and country people
Work on some of the mines is pro-
crossing with almost full force, but
new contracts for sale of phosphate
for the season of 1908 are not being
closed up very rapidly, the buyers
standing out for lower price and the
sellers holding for the prices of last
season. AS the mines capable of fill
ing contracts for high grade rock are
all in strong hands, it is mostly likely
that prices will be maintained. In the
meantime stocks on hand are being
rapidly exhausted.

NO ARRESTS FOR
ZION MURDER
CORONER'S JURY ADJOURNS TO
WAIT FURTHER INVESTI-
CATION.

The coroner's jury, which convened
at Zion Monday to investigate the
murder of Albert Webster, colored, adj
journed until next Tuesday that the
officers might have further time fol
investigation.
The jury heard a number Of witness
IS and secured some evidence, but
not enough in their opinion to justify
an ARE t. They found that the body
of the negro had been carried or
dragged three quarters of a mile after
he had been murdered. A torn por-
ton of his shirt was found at one
place where he had been dragged
through fence. At three other points
small punches of his hair were found.
Mr.. Fleming left home on Tuesday
morning, having notified the negro
the day before that all things were
in his charge and that he must feed
and water the stock. 1t is said that
when he returned home Friday the
stock were in the stable, having been
confined all the time without food or
water.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, April 10
Five thousand enthusiastic followers
OF Senator Carmack and Governor Pat
terson crowded into the auditorium
tonight to hear the opening speeches
of the joint debate between the con
tending candidates for governor.
1t was a truly notable debate, one
worthy of the best traditions of the
democratic party. Two of its ablest
sons in Tennessee met in one of the
greatest forensic encounters the state
has ever known. The debate was
conducted upon a high plane, both OF
the candidates conducting themselves
as become aspirants for the highest
Office in the state. Senator Carmack
was hampered by a weak throat, but
he made a magnificent presentation
of the issues of the campaign. He
never lost his poise nor his bearing.
He had every fact well in hand, and
his speech was a clear, connected and
lucid exposal of Patterson's record.
On the other hand, the Governors
speech was disconnected. He jumped
from one subject to another. He
failed to meet squarely one single
charge made against his administra-
ton. He did not make one single
unequivoeal answer to an allegation
made by his opponent.
Nevertheless, the Governor was full
of confidence. Cool, deliberate, and
by an artful play upon language, he
succeeded in arousing his hearers to
high pitch of enthusiasm.
The crowd was not anything like
equally divided between the cRndi-
dates.
At a conservative estimate, Car
mack badges outnumbering Patterson
almost two to one. This proportion
was manifested in the volume of ap-
plause. The Patterson followers were
as enthusiastic, if not more SO, than
Carmack's supporters, but they were
NOT nearly so numerous.
Among the most enthusiastic of the
Governors hearers were several sa-
loon-keepers, and these were especial
" demonstrative. Several prominent
republicans seated on the stage gave
Patterson cordial reception, leading
the cheering.
This debate cannot be regarded as
4 fair test of the relative powers OF
the two candidates as public speakers,
because Gov Patterson admitted that

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. April 21.-
For the first time since the campaign
opened the crowd was something like
evenly divi led among the supporters
of the two candidates From the
badges displayed on the streets it was
difficult to determine whether either
candidate had the advantage Of the
crowd but Carmack received the more
enthusiastic reception of the two and
it was evident that of the voting demo-
Gratis in the house he had the ma
iority The republicans, especially
those of the Brownlow persuasion,
seem to be almost solidly for the gov
ernor and, naturally, many of this
political faith turned out to hear the
great forensic encounter.
Although proportionately more nu-
merous than at Bristol or Knoxville,
the Patterson followers lacked the en-
thusiasm which they manifested at
those places, and the governor was I'M
able to arouse any pronounced demon
STATIONS, although his speech was an
improvement over that of the day be-
fore.
Twenty-Five hundred would be lib
eral estimate of the crowd that assem-
bled in the Hippodrome rink to hear
the debate. and in the audience were
many boys and women and, excluding
these and the republicans, the demo
cratic voters were fewer than at any
former appointment. The rink was
not crowded and could easily have ac-
commodated much larger audience.
Without Striking Features.
Outside of few new phrases which
the candidates coined and more than
usually elaborate defense of the Mem
phis ripper bill and delegated primary
by the governor, the debate was with
out any striking features. The gov
ernor devoted the major portion of his
reioinder to a defense of the Memphis
law and showed quite plainly that he
was vexed at the manner in which his
opponent has dissected this legisla-
ton In this connection he paid a
glowing tribute to the members of the
commission whom he had appointed

REPLEVIN ISSUED
FOR HIS WIFE
FIRST CASE OF THE KIND EVER
BROUGHT IN MAURY
COUNTY.
Her Parents Had Taken Possession
Of Her.-3econ
Follows.

People have replevined all kinds of
property in Maury county from a
hound dog to property valued up into
the thousands of dollars, but the first
case in which a husband took out
writ of replevin to secure possession
of his wife was issued Tuesday by
Esq H. H. Fariss TO w ]. higgins,
white man living on the Sam Dooley
place near Columbia.
Higgins was married on March 21sL
to Miss Ada Templeton, whose pa.
rents live on the Mooresville pike near
town. He came to town Tuesday and
told Esq Fariss that his wife had been
her parents several times since the
marriage and all was going along
smoothly, but that during his absence
few days ago, his wife's parents
came to his home, got his wife and
her effects and carried them to their
home That he went to the house,
but they would not let him come in.
That his wife called to him from the
window and told him if he wanted her,
he had best get her at once, so he
feared her parents were preparing to
take her away.
Mr., Fariss issued the writ after
higgins had made bond. It is custo-
mary to require bond for double the
value of the property it is sought to
recover, and the amount Of bond re-
quired of higgins was $40. The paper
was given to Deputy Goad and he
went with Higgins to the Templetcn
home. When they arrived the hus-
band and his parents-in-law made up
and he was allowed to stay all night.
His wife returned home with him
Wednesday.
