to make the race, stated today that he
would not be candidate In talking
of the matter today, Mr.. Voss said:

many years been constable of the
Ninth district, and is well and favora-

PREFERRED AND ASKS FULL INVESTIGATION

The behind-closed-door Investigation
Of the charges preferred by N. C.
Whitaker against City Marshal Nor
gan and Police officer Stages, which
was scheduled for Tuesday afternoon
materialized into a technical bubble
as to whether or not two eyewitness
es to the arrest of Whitaker should
be permitted to testify. The prosecu-
ton wanted to show by Robert Foster,
white man, and Jesse Mays, negro,
that three blows had been struck by
Officer Stages, as Whitaker testified
In court. But the names of the wit
nesses had not been filed with the
committee at the time that the charges
were, and so the committee ruled that
they were not competent to tell what
they knew. J. C. VOORHEES,, attorney
for the Whittakers, then withdrew the
charges, after serving notice that they
would be formally preferred a second
time in order that all the light posi-
BILE might be thrown on the case.
Mayor Biddle Immediately ordered
the officers reinstated

noon would have been we'll attended
had the public not been locked out.
AS it was there was some interest
shown by a few bystanders, who
seemed content to merely get a peep
at the Star chamber in which the com
mittee was to hold its deliberations
In addition to the committee, attorneys
for the prosecution and defense were
admitted, as was H. Cliff Hendley, off,
cial stenographer, who had been au-
thorized to make copies of the pro-
ceedings for the press.
Chairman Swansburg declined to
give out Mr.. Hendley's report when
seen Tuesday evening by represen-
Lative of The Herald, without first con-
sulting the mayor. When Mayor Biddle
was seen this morning he stated that
he would consult with Mr.. Swansburg,

TWO WEEKS.

On account of the delay in arrival
OF furniture, the post Office building
will not be occupied until the 10th of
December, and probably not until the
18th. 1t was the original intention to
occupy the building on December 1st.
In speaking of the delay today Post
master Jackson said: Some of the
electrical work was not up to contract
and was condemned. 1t will be the
10th of the month before this work
is completed, but this would not pre-
vent our moving in If the furniture
had arrived. The government is

side"
Mr.. Jackson stated that the moving

VIRGINIA NEGRO
DIES AT AGE 100
UNCLE JACK WOOD, ONE OF THE
PIONEER INHABITANTS OF
BARREN, PASSES AWAY.

GLASGOW, KY, Nov. 3O.-The
death OF Uncle Jack Wood, negro, at
his home near Hiseville, in this coun-
ty. at the age of 100 years, removes
one of the oldest landmarks of this
county. Uncle Jack was brought
from "Old Virginia" in the early eos.
then a robust young man, worth pos
sibly $4,000. He was first purchased
by the father of the late G. G. Pare,
editor of the Franklin Favorite, and
afterward sold to the Wood family,
with whom he lived until he was freed.
Until recently Uncle Jacks mind
was as clear as the MONDAY sun and
he could relate with accuracy events
Of seventy-fve years ago. He prided
himself on having seed de stairs falr'
and also of having seen Mars Abe
lincoln" and many other notable men.
He was held in the highest esteem by
all who knew him, and many white
people attended his funeral.

Joe Mack, colored, was arrested Mon.
day morning shortly after IL o'clock by
Deputy Goad, charged with firing the
barn of Jesse Tomlinson, on the VIII.

loss
The negros arrest was effected after
bloodhounds had been called into the
case, and had fastened suspicion upon
him by baying before his cabin door.

further fact that pointed to Mack,s
guilt was the discovery of tracks near
the burned building, which correspond.
ed with the shoes he wore. The ne.
gro has very small foot, and this
rather unusual circumstance is partly
responsible for his arrest
Early Tuesday morning Dennty Goad
went to work on the case, and was
assisted in his work by Davidson's
bloodhounds, which had been brought
here from Lawrenceburg. The dogs
took up the trail at the barn and fol.
lowed it to Mack's cabin.
Mr.. Tomlinson had a high opinion
of the negro, and was 10th to believe
him guilty. He is of the opinion that
the barn was fired accidentally, rob-
berry being the real motive that
the presence of miscreants
on the place chicken with a broken
leg was found this morning near the
burned barn. 1t is believed that in
the chicken roost the barn
was accidentally ignited

PUT UP THE NECESSARY
AMOUNT.

The first candidate to qualify for
county Office is Judge E. D. Looney,
who has deposited with j. !. Ffnney,
secretary of the Democratic Executive
committee, check for forty dollars,
his pro rata assessment, and has for
mally signified his intention of stay
ing in the game until the last. Judge
Looney is a candidate for county
Judge, and the Office was assessed

1t is expected that the other candi-
dates will proceed to qualify rapidly,
as the time is comparatively short.
So far, none of them has indicated any
desire to quit the contest, and it is
expected that the entire field will be
in the running to the last.

BANK DIRECTORS
MUST DIRECT
COMPTROLLER OF CURRENCY IN
sISTs THEY MUST PERFORM
DUTIES OF THEIR POSITION.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.--All OF the
$500 national banks in the United
States which now hold board meetings
at irregular and infrequent intervals
must have monthly meetings of their
Boards of Directors; must appoint
Examining and Discounty Committees,
and all the loans and discounts OF
each bank must be approved by the
Directorate Board at the monthly
meetings, such approval to be record
ed in permanent form. This was the
pronunciamento of Comptroller of the
Currency Murray today.
In order to round out his general
plan for the directors to control the
banks under their supervision, the
Comptroller has asked all of these
banks to amend and forward to the
Comptroller's Office copy of their by
laws as amended to meet the pro-
visions just stated.
Hereafter, as soon as an application
for national bank is approved the
organizers will be told that they must
submit with the organization papers
copy of their bylaws, which must pro
vide for at least momnthly meetings.

LOCAL MILL GRINDS

FLOUR EACH YEAR
WOULD MAKE A FLOUR TRAIN
FOUR MILES
LONG.
FEED NASHVILLE'S POPULATION
Has Been Running Night And Day
For The Past Five Months And
Is Never ldIe-But one Of
Several.

That Columbia is milling point OF
some consequences is proven by the
output of the Columbia Mill & Eleva-
tor company in -four alone. This is
but one of several milling companies
here, all of which do big business.
For the past five months, or since
the new wheat crop came in, this
company has been running night and
day. For one hundred and fifty con-
secutive days the machinery has not
been idle, and during that time 400
barrels of -four has been ground daily,
total of 10000 barrels in round num-
bers. Considering the present high
price of this commodity, it is seen
that many hundreds of thousands Of
dollars worth has been put on the
market.
Not only has the mill been busy
night and day since the opening of the
season, but it will continue so until
the first of January, and probably
longer, and all the year round has an
output of 200 barrels daily. The total
output for the year will be something
over 100000 barrels.
Estimating that four barrels of flour
will be consumed annually by family
of four or five persons, and those who
know say that it will, then it is seen
that this one mill grinds enough -four
to feed the entire population of Nash
vile for one year.
A barrel of flour weighs 1876 pounds,
and 200 barrels makes big carload
According to this reckoning the mill
has yearly output of 500 carloads.
1t is figured that this would make
train four miles in length, or extend
ing from Columbia to Goodwin. Such
a -four train would no doubt attract
some attention if it were seen pulling
out of Columbia, and would require
the use of at least ten engines.
The average acre of ground pro-
duces thirteen bushels of wheat, and
five bushels of wheat are used in the

II is seen that this mill grinds the |

classic atmosphere of Maury county
at 5:12 o'clock Monday afternoon,
when a work train came to a dead
stop on the ELAN farm, at Leiper's
Creek, the present terminus of the
road.
Work was begun on the road last
June was one year ago, and slowly
the rails have extended their tortu.
Gus lengths in the direction of Leath-
erwood, the ostensible terminus. With
but six more miles of rails to lay, the
end of the first stage of the Journey
is in sight. Since the road was be-
gun, its management has concluded to
extend it TO Mt Pleasant, and the
work will be pushed with the end in
view of reaching that city within an
other year.
From the Elan farm to Franklin is
twentythree miles, and from the Elan
farm to Mt. Pleasant is about twenty
miles; so it is evident that the road
is more than half completed.

EXCITEMENT,
SOME DISORDER
SUGAR REACHED LOWEST LEVEL
OF THE WEEK, AND COPPER
FLUcTUATED FEvERisHLY.

NEW YORK, Nov 30.-There was
some excitement and disorder In the
stock market when trading began to-
day, rejecting the struggle, on the
one hand, to check the fall in prices,
which set in yesterday and the effects,
on the other hand, of the liquidation
induced by yesterdays drop. Anxiety
over the antitrust programme was q
dominant factor. Stocks of the great
Industrial combinations were pressed
for sale.
The coppers fluctuated feveTishly,
owing to the difficulties of the pro-
posed copper consolidation, in view OF
the courts decision in the Standard
Oil case Amalgamated Copper was
forced up a point over last night, and
American sugar three-eights as re-
suit of supporting orders and covering
by yesterdays short sellers. Sugar
then sold down more than a point be-
low Yesterdays closing, to 1855, maxi
ing a new low record for the year.
and Amalgamated COPPER lost
one point gains, and the whole market
weakened on very active dealings.
The decline was checked again in the
course of an hour and a. quieter and
4 steadier tone ensued.
