Senator DapiS Rebufed
In State Convention

LITTLE ROCK. Ark, June 3-United
States Senator JEFF Davis, the enemy
Of the trusts. Wall Street, and crime.
received a terrific rebuff in the State
convention here yesterday afternoon.
That body refused TO select him as a
delegate-at-large To the Denver conven-
ton.
Out OF 500 votes cast, he received only
1876. This shows how he has lost ground
in the State. especially when it is re-
membered that he was chosen for the
last convention By reclamation.
The convention instructed for Bryan
by practically unanimous vote.

INDEPENDENT SPRINKLER SUPPLY
Secretary Grieves Reports to Council
That he Has Awarded Contract to
Geo. W. aYlor--Help Century Club

At meeting of the Smyrna Town
Council last Friday evening H. B.
Grieves of the Light & Water Com
mittee who was given the authority
to provide independent watering
places fer the town sprinkler, stated
that he had submitted the plans to
R. E. Long and George w. Taylor,
our town plumbers, and as Mr.. Taylor
was the lowest bidder, he received
the contract. There will be six of
these Independent places stationed at
different intervals. The work will
be done as soon as possible. AS
reported at the previous meeting, it
was found necessary to provide
separate and distinct places for the
reason that the constant opening and
shutting of the fire-plugs has worn the
valves and has cost the town consider
able for repairs. In the independent
watering places, the pipes will be so
arranged that the sprinkler can take
on water similar to the method used by
locomotives, so simplified that all it
will be necessary to do is to back
the sprinkler and fill it without the
driver having to descend from the
sprinkler. In connection with the
sprinkler talk, Councilman, Hudson
made complaint that the sprinkler
did not come on Mt. Vernon street as
often as it should. President
Reynolds made the same statement
concerning South Street. The Street
Committee was directed to look into
the matter. On motion of Council
man John P. Hudson, the ladies OF
the Twentieth Century Club OF
Smyrna were granted the use OF
about 900 feet of wire to light theil
Country Fair ground on the
School HOue green during their three
days celebration this week. The
ladies of course are to pay for putting
the wires up and for the lights that
they burn. After the Fair, the wire
is to be returned to the Town
