The .eeetpts of the money order
department of the postofice have long
been considered a good index of finan-
cial conditions. According to this
cver-reliabel financial chronometer
Columbia and Maury county are thirty
per cent better of than at the same
time last year, a fact that will be
easily established by the increased
business done by local concerns. From
figures given out Monday by Postmaster
Jackson it is seen that the money
order department did a business for
the past week that was more than
$4,000 in excess of the corresponding
week last year.
The heavy business is in part due to
the Christmas thirst for beverages,

money orders being transmitted d.

money being sent out of the city for
other purposes, fact that would not
be especially pleasing except viewed
in the light of indicating returning
prosperity.

But while the wearers of cotton are

throwing his optimism and good cheer
into the receptacle on thhe other end
Of he steelyards. High cotton means
high mules. and Maury county is bene-
fitted both ways.
That which inspires these sage sug-
gestions is an advertisement inserted
in The Weekly Herald by local firm
and IeduluS DIS LOAAOWb.

in cotton in 1910. Will furnish the
seed and guarantee 81 cents per
pound in seed and give as much more

This offer, according to the dope OF
cotton growers, is equivalent to
guarantee of liz to II cents per
pound for cotton in the seed this fall,
and had it been made a few years
ago when cotton was lingering around
the 4 cent mark would probably have
resulted in this county's being con-
yerted INTO one great field. 1t is prob
able that the full two thousand acres
advertised for will be planted, and
then some.
With such prices being offered for
cotton in advance, and with other
products of the farm in equal demand,

THE LITTLE PENNY
NOT BADLY WANTED
BY UNCLE SAMUEL
CAUSE RURAL ROUTE MEN MUCH
ANNOYANCE AND
TROUBLE.
POSTMASTER GETS A LETTER
Public Taken Into The confdence
Of The Government And Asked
to co-operate-How it Can Be
Done.

The fad Of dropping pennies int
rural route boxes. which is very much
in vogue in certain sections OF the
country, is not encouraged by the post
ONCE department. Postmaster Jack
son is in receipt of a letter from head
quarters in which the annoyance oc,
casioned by the liberal use Of the
pestiferous penny is eloquently set
forth. The letter is self-explanatory,
and is as follows:
Washington, Dec 10, 1909.
/ The Postmaster,
'Sir:-From a recent count made by
rural carriers in one of the counties
in the State of New York of coins
deposited by patrons in their boxes
for the purchase of stamp supplies, it
was found that each carrier In the
county was collecting an average of
115 one-cent coins each week. This
average applied to all the routes In
operation throughout the country
would give the enormous total of
about 300,000,00O one-cent coins.
AS most Of these coins are depos-
tied loose in boxes. it is desirable that
you and the rural carriers, in tactfuI
and polite way, put forth your best
efforts to induce patrons to provide
themselves with stamp supplies in
advance OF their needs, and to equip
their boxes with suitable coin-holding
receptacles. 1t should be explained
to patrons that the picking of loose
coins from boxes not only results in
needless hardship and suffering to
carriers in winter weather, delays the
delivery and collection of the mails,
but frequently results in actual money
loss to the carriers, for if, in collect
ing coins from boxes, they drop them
into the snow or on the ground with
out recovery, they are required to re-
places the amount out of their own |
funds.
Respectfully,
"P. v. DeGRAW,

STOCKS TAKE
BIG TUMBLE
(By United Press Leased Wire. !

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-The
dribbling out of holdings during
the final days of last week in the
stock market developed today into
a downpour that continued
throughout the greater part of the
session.
The cloudburst of liquidating
orders washed prices down hill
for considerable distance before
support and short covering orders
during the final hour stemmed
the tide and carried up prices a
good fraction from the bottom. In
the early trading, steel common
was the pilot fish and when 1t
opened 1-2 point lower than its
previous closing figure and start
ed rapidly down stream, the gen.

ROOSEVELT I
LAUGHS
LAST
Men Who Declared Him
Guilty Of Violation
of the Law Get
Cold Feet.
(By United Press Leased Wire. }

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 23.
Friends of President Roosevelt
in congress are quietly laughing
today at predicament in which
the presidents enemies have plac-
ed themselves by their eagerness
to prove him guilty of a violation
of the law. The senators on the
committee on judiciary, after hav-
Ing found the president guilty to
their satisfaction of countenancing
a violation of the antitrust law
by sanctionIng a merger of the
United Steel corporation and the
Tennessee Coal & Iron company,
have suddenly acquired cold feet.
Get Cold Feet.
They wrote report to that
effect, and 1t has been printed. 1t
was to be submitted to the house
today, but last night the attack
of cold feet came on and no report
was made. The senators conf
dentially explained the matter this
way to their colleagues:
eve have found the president
guilty In this report. Now, If we
submit the report, the president
may charge us with finding the
president guilty before he is tried.
If he is guilty of any violation
of the law, 1t is the duty of the
house to impeach him. The pub
lie will ask why we won't go head
and impeach the president, If we
believe him guilty, but the men,
bers of the house will not bring
impeachment proceedings.
In a Quandry.
They say the president Is about
to go out of office, but they would
not impeach him, even IL he were
at the beginning of his term.
Where will we stand IL we SUBJ
NIT this report? The public is
likely to taunt us with cowardice
in not getting after the president
after we have declared him to be
a law-breaker. So we don't know
what to do"

a half mile of the dyke, leaving
part of the popular resort, which
is Inhabited in the summer by
wealthy families, at the mercy of

is thought here that a majority of
the cottages were unoccupied.
One strip of land IL feet high,
20 feet wide and 1000 feet long,
was carried away. On this the
houses were located.

s STARTLING
CHARGE IS
MADE
California SOlons Said
to Be Drinking Ii.
quor Furnished BY
the "WetS."
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Feb. 90.
That members of California; 8
legislature have been daily con-
suming gallons of liquors furnish
ed them within the capitol build
ing by the enemies of local option
and in so doing violating laws of
this state which prohibit intoxi-
cants being sold or given away on
the capitol grounds or within the
state building was the startling
declaration made today by Rev.
d. M. Gandier of Los Angeles, who
is here representing the Anti-Sa-
Ion league in the fight for the
passage of local option bills.
For weeks, in fact ever since
the present session of the legisla-
ture began, buffets where whiskey
and beer are given away freely
have been openly conducted at the
capitol.
Booze" Free as Water.
Behind curtains in the offices
of Sergeant-at-Arms Stafford of
the assembly and Sergeant-at-
Arms Martin of the senate side
boards where booze" is as free
as water are being maintained.
Every day constant stream
of Legislators pours into these lit
tie rooms and there indulge to the
extent of their various and respec-
tive capacities.
It was generally believed that
Stafford and Martin were "stand-
ing treat" in return for the fat
jobs which they have been given
by the legislature.
And then day or so ago the
rumor went out that the refresh
ments were being provided by the
liquor interests, which are enedav-
oring to defeat the local option
bills pending in both houses.
Much Consumed Daily.
Now comes Rev. Gandier with
the statement that he knows of
no person or persons except the
liquor people, who would be at
this time keeping the represen-
tatives In the assembly and senate
in good spirits. 1t has been esti-
mated that between $25 and $50
worth of liquor Is consumed daily
by the members of both houses.
The hilarity of certain worthy
solons along in the afternoon of
each day and the conditions of in
ebrity some of them are in at the
close of a days session would
tend to prove that the estimate is
not far fetched.
The Rev. Gandier brands the
state Of affairs at the capitol
disgrace and an outrage.

WORK On
DEPOT IS
DELAYED
n. r.; WILL WAIT UNTIL Or.
DINANCE is FINALLY PASS
ED-CTTY SHOULD DEMAND
NEEDED CONCESSIONS ON
POINT FRANCHISE.

Work will not start on the new
N. P. depot until the city council
passes the ordinance vacating the
streets and granting the franchise
asked for by the Hill interests.
1t was expected that excavation
work would start today but at
Superintendent Albee's office to-
day it was announced that opera
tions would probably not begin
now before next week as there is
still considerable preliminary
work to be done.
The ordinance will come before
the council tomorrow night for
final passage and 1t will likely go
through without opposition. Then
the company will have to begin
work within 80 days at least.
In the meantime the company
is making all preparations, ac-
cording to the loca. officials, to
60 ahead. They declare also that
1t is the intention to get busy on
the Point Defiance line as soon as
possible.
Point Defiance Line.
Judge Reid has presented his
formal application for franchise
for the Point Defiance line and 1t
will be referred to the council
tomorrow night. The city attor-
ney will then be set to work to
drawing up the franchise.
The company wants a double
franchise across all streets and
along some of them that skirt the
waterfront north of Old Town.
1t proposes to lay two sets of
tracks. One four track line will
be elevated several feet above the
old line, which will be double
track line to serve the waterfront
mills on the water level.
The franchise will also provide
for the tunnel and for passing
along the waterfront on the Mar
rows side of the city.
More Concessions for City.
When this franchise comes up
there may be some tall log roll
ing. The opportunity will then
be presented to the city to insist
on common user clauses and other
valuable concessions to benefit
business along the waterfront and
the franchise will probably cause
considerable discussion.
The company has always insist
ed in past negotiations that the
city should not insist on too much
as it expected 1t would have to
make further concessions when
this new franchise comes up and
the time Is now approaching when
It is to be considered.

DAMAGES

Claiming that his business rep
utation had been ruined and that
his credit has been impaired by
statements issued in a local credit
publication, William A. Deiny, a
seal estate man, today commenced
suit for $45, 200 damages against
the Northwest Credit association
and two local newspapers.
In his complaint, Denny claims
that the proprietor of the news
papers had placed a bill of $209
which he owed, in the hands of
the credit company for collection.
The credit company, he claims,
entered his name in their credit
pamphlet, Confidential Credit
Reference Book" as having q
doubtful business reputation and
as being a "dead-beat." Owing
to his name appearing in the book
let in this manner, Denny claims
that his business reputation has
been shattered. The suit is di.
vided between the Northwest
Credit association and the two
papers.

REALTY VALUES
BOOSTED
HIGH

All records for increase in the
value of real estate were broken
this morning when the building
and property committee of the
council got busy appraising the
land owned by the city. Point
Defiance park was down on the
book for only $4,000, but the
committee boosted 1t to $1,000
900 and admitted this was not
half enough. Wright park was
on the book for $335,000 but 1t
was raised to 100000. McKin-
ley park was raised from $34, 400
to $4,000, Lincoln park from
$48,500 to 100000.
The city hall site was put in for
100000 and all of the real estate
was boosted In value on the books
to- something near Its actual mar
ket value.
The committee will have to hold
another sitting to complete the
job.
