JUDGE WILKES
CROSSES DIVIDE
DEATH ENDS LONG ILLNESS or
ONE OF STATES GREAT
JURlsTs.
FUNERAL SERVICES At THE HOME
One Of Tennessee's Greatest Lawyers
Fifteen Years on SUI
preme Bench.

PULASKI, Tenn, Feb. 2.-JudgC
John Summerfeld Wilkes, OF the Su
preme Court, died this morning at 4
o'clock.
Judge Wilkes had been confined to
the house for many months, becoming
worse within the last few days. Mrs,
Wilkes and family of grown sons
and daughters survive. Judge Wilkes
was in his 9th year and had been
on the bench since 1893 Chief Jus.
tice Turney, when he became Cover
nor, appointed Judge Wilkes as his
own successor. Since then he has
been twice reelected.
Judge Wilkes was not only a pro
found lawyer, but the most indefatig.
able worker and In, estigator. He
could easily do the work of three ordi
nary men in any line and do it better
than either of the three.
Judge Wilkes began life as a bank
cashier after the Civil War. He was
born and reared near Culleoka of the
we'll known Maury County family OF
that name During the Civil War he
was Captain and Commissary Of the
Third Tennessee. Infantry, c. s. A.
He was admitted to the bar In 1867
and he and ex-Chancellor A. ]. Aber
nathy were partners. For a time
afterwards, during Gov. Browns ad
ministration he was private secretary
of the Governor and performed a
great quantum of the labor in the
Comptrollers office also.
He and Gov BrowL practiced law
together until Gov Brown became in
terested in Texas railways.
Afterwards when Gov. Brown be
came receiver of the Texas Pacific
Railway Judge Wilkes was Treasurer.
He afterwards returned to Pulaski
and at once resun cd the lucrative law |
practice where he had laid II
down. Until he went on the bench |
his nephew, Hume r. Steele was his
partner.

tionate part to the State and School
funds. Judge Gordon said that the
valuation of this county was worth
less than 1t was few years ago for
the reason that much phosphate had
been taken out of the land and shipped
away.
Judge Erwin said that the question
OF values had nothing to do with this
question.
County Attorney Whitthorne was
called upon for his advice. He said
the Court, under the law, could either
make a definite salary or allow the
fees as contained in the report of the
committee. He thought the best
policy would be to put the Assessor
on a fee system as advocated by the
committee. He thought the fee sys-
TEN would encourage the official to
discharge his full duty.
Esq. Guest moved to amend the re-
port by fixing the salary at 81, 200 per
annum.
On motion of Judge Erwin the
was tabled.
The report OF the committee was
then adopted; Ayes, 10; noes. 1.
As soon as this question was dis.
posed of Esq. Hayes brought up the
Work House question, contending
that he had a man who would run the
Work House at cost OF 500 a month
less than II Is now costing.
II was moved to refer the matter 70
the Work House Commission. but the
was declared out OF order.

The buyers began early looking over
the mules and making purchases
Prices opened stiff, yet the high prices
apparently had no effect in keeping
down sales. The buyers were sta
toned out every street leading from
the square and many mules changed
ands before they had reached the
center of town, BY II o'clock the
square and streets were filled with
2 shifting, surging mass of mules and
men. Hundreds of mules changed
bands and it is estimated that the
total business Of the day was not far
short Of the business OF the first Mon
day in January when 729 mules
changed hands at a total Of about
$4,000.
There is little doubt that the num-
Der of mules on hand and the gen.

part to the advertising this market

Herald and the three Nashville papers.
The local correspondents of the Nash.
Vile papers have sent the news

points in the south, telling Of the

The Herald has spread the news In
Maury and adiourning counties. The
farmers have learned that Columbia
is the place to find a read" sale. and
that the fast competition here insures
high prices. The buyers have learned /
that they can get all the mules they
need at the Columbia market and that
the supply is so large here they can
pick up a car or several cars OF mules
Of any class they desire.

All last night Queen Amelia in the
royal palace sat between the biers

band and her son, Frustrated with
grief. Troops guarded the palace; a
squadron of cavalry surrounded the
house of Premier France; special de-
tails were drawn up before public
buildings and reserves were quartered
in barracks ready for a call that
might come to spring to arms. But
Lisbon did not sleep. Scarcely a per
son through the city closed eyes. An
unnatural silence pervaded the place,
for after the first awakening to the
tragedy that had been enacted with
shops and cafes were closed the
doors of theaters were hastily locked,
houses were barricaded and the
streets were cleared. No one might
say where the next blow would fall,
and a revolution that swept through
a city like a fire il dry places drove
the people into their homes or other
places where they might be secure.
The attack on the royal family, how
ever, had the opposite effect from

reigned, as though no murder had
been done. Early this morning Pre-
