SENATOR PAGE UNMOVED.
Reiterates Determination Not to
Stand for Reelection.

Senator Alfred r. Page will leave the city to-
day for his summer home on Lake Bomaseen.
VT Senator Page reiterated last night his de-
termination not to be candidate for reelection
as State Senator, although the Republican lead
ers of his Senate district have been urging him
to reconsider his decision and accept the nomina-
tion.
So far no one man has stood out more promi
nently than a half dozen others to succeed Sena-
tor Page.
"It is too early to talk about my successor
yet" said the Senator. There numerous
candidates cropping out here and there, but the
political season is still too young to predict
which one OF these will be nominated"

The Presidents speech will deal with matters
of interest to the enlisted men and Officers OF

up the cudgels to punish those who have criti-
cised the construction of battleshps. Secretary
Loeb denied very emphatically to-day that the
Presidents visit to Newport was to precede any
sort of a "shake-up" in the of'icial personnel
of the service. Stories have been put In circula-
tion which asserted that the President would at
tend tho meeting Of the board for the sole pur-
pose of jumping on the men responsible for
the recent disclosures" and that a result Of
his visit the heads Of many bureau chiefs would
fall into the basket

Installed Adding Machine.

WHITWELL, Tenn. Nov. 2S-The
Bank of Whitwell has installed an add
ing machine, which is mechanical
wonder The machine by complex
system of levers, adds automatically as
keys are depressed corresponding to
the numbers desired. For instance,
the operator depresses keys calling for
five or six sets of numbers and the
machine by the motion impaired by a
half crank movement, prints those
numbers on slip, and with the last
movement of the crank, records the re-
suit beneath them. The machine can
make no errors, for if the correct num-
bers are struck, all others are auto
matically locked. 1t is a great con-
venience, ensuring accurate work in
listing checks and making out extern
ded lists of figures, and Cashier Nor
gan is to be congratulated on having
such a useful machine within bis
reach, while this prosperous bank is
to be commended for its enterprise in
installing such a machine. 1t is very
rapid in its work, and results are al
most instantaneously reached.

Late Trustee and General

A new manager is to take the place
of the late G. H. Fiske, who was the
promoter, trustee and general manager
of the Great Falls River and Power
company. Mr.. Fiske died at McMinn-
vile recently, leaving the company on
the eve of beginning the final prepara-

Yost, who has been the manager and
coach of the Ann Arbor football eleven
this year. His season ends at this
time and it is understood that the
famous athlete will come at once to
Tennessee and assume active charge of
the power company.
For several months the affairs of Mr..
Fiske company have been tied up in
litigation. He secured control of the
company that first began the develop
ment of the plant at Great Falls, but
somebody who had a claim of some sort
went into chancery and secured an in
junction that stopped all negotiations.
The original plan, as often outlined
by Mr.. Fiske, was to develop power at
Great Falls whereby an electric line
could be operated between Chattanoo-
ga and Nashville, fully quipped rail
road to be the final accomplishment.
1t was always claimed that this road
would be much shorter than the N. G.

Making Cement Blocks

WHITWELL, Tenn, Nov. 2S.--W.
A. Cantrell has secured a machine for
making cement blocks, which is up-to-
date in every way, and is now on the
market with fine article in blocks.
He has a machine which casts with q
round core to the block which on be-
ing withdrawn leaves a much more
substantial block than that which
leaves square hole in the center.
This affords better chance for the
blocks to adhere to one another when
laid. Mr.. Cantrell is to be commend.
ed for his enterprise in getting such q
machine, which turns out perfect
block for building purposes.
