He Had Tact.

Talking about tact" said a woman
who is just verging on middle age, Il
never saw any one get out of diff
cult situation more deftly than did a
man l met at a blacksmith shop in a
New England village I was driving
through last summer. I was alone
in the lanes with my friend, the
horse. when I noticed that he limped
bit, so when we reached the next
village I stopped at the door of the
blacksmith's shop. A man was hold
ing up the doorpost, and to him I
said:
"Will you please tell the blacksmith
to come out? l want to see him"
After the manner of the village
loafer he did not stir, but smiled
sweetly at me, and lifting up his voice
cried:
"Bnl come out! There's a lady
wants to see you"
From the depths of the blacksmith
shop a voice roared:
rs she young, John, or old?'
In the words of an old poem, I
looked at John and John looked at
me. Then, still without moving he
called:
you'll be satisfied, Bill, when you
get out"

FIRST GROUND BROKEN.
Work Started on New Christian
Church Building.

Ground was broken today for the
first time in the construction of the
new Christian church which is to be
erected by the Pendleton congrega-
ton on the lots just west of the
bridge on North Main street. Con-
tractor A. O. Hardin who has charge
of the excavation, put his teams and
men to work this afternoon and the
work will be rushed as fast as pos
sible.
Ii is proposed not TO let the build
ing lag from this moment, and al
though the funds are not yet provid-
ed except in a small part, the COM
mittees will hurry that work along
and it is hoped that as soon as the eX-
cavation is completed work in con-
struction may be commenced. No
contract has been let for the building,
and ii is quite possible that there will
be none, the work being done by force
account.
The structure when completed Will
cost. it is believed about $15.ee0 and
will be most handsome church edi-
fee. The building will be of con-
crete blocks.

COUNTY WILL
HELP ON BRIDGE
JUDGE GILLII.AND SAYS
ORIGINAL PLANS HOLD
Fact That City Property Is Exempted
from County Road Tax Does Not
Effect Rebuilding of Lee Street
Bridge-City Will Pay Half and
County Half, Says the Judge.

The fact that the taxpayers of the
city of Pendleton have discovered that
they are exempt from paying a coun-
" road tax in addition to the taxes
for the Improvement of city streets
and have taken advantage of that ex-
emption, does not warrant the coun-
" in refusing TO stand its share Of the
expense in connection with the re-
building Of Lee street bridge.
That is the opinion of Judge T. P.
Gilliland OF the county court, who
this morning discussed the subject
brought up at the good roads meet
ing.
The fact that we can't get that tax
out of the city any longer is no ex-
cuse for the county's not doing its du-
ty'', said Judge Gilliland this morning
in discussing the matter. 'I believe
that bridge is of value to the taxpay-

to the city alone, and l think that 1t
is up 10 us TO continue our plans for
rebuilding. If it was right for the
county TO help build the bridge before
the city discovered it was exempt from
county road taxes it is right to do so
now, and l can not see any way in
which the question of the road tax
matter enters into this affair at all.
Il don't think there is any question
about it, when the city gets ready to
build that bridge the county will stand
its share of the burden. That means,
that as We had planned, we will build

NIGHT RIDER JURY
 IS STILL TIED UP

Union City, Tenn, December 1e.-After deiiberating for nearly 24 hours the jury in the case of Garrett Johnson and Ar thur Cloar alleged leaders of the night riders. charged with the murder of Cant. quentin Rankin, is apparently hopelesslv disagreed. No verdict was reported to- day. although the jury was twice called before the court. No further report will be received from the jury until Monday afternoon. even though 1t should reach a decision in the meanwhile, as Trial Judge J. D. Jones adjourned court late today and left for his home at Dresden, Tenn.
 When court convened today and the juhy was first asked for a report, one of the jurors remarked:
 We stand nine to three for" and was interrupted
 He was at once stopped by the court. What the majority of the jury is in favor remains in doubt When the second re- port was made Judge Jones was informed that one juror refused to allow other members of the jury to discuss the case with him. Instructions were given the jury on this point and it was locked up until Monday.

HENDERSON MAY
 ENTER THE RACE  Subject of Much Discussion At
 Montgomery CONFERENCE IS PLANNED Effort Will Probably Be Made to Agree on Some Anti-amendment Cand- date-Henderson's Friends
 Are Busy.
CONFERENCE IS PLANNED
By HERvEY w. LAIRD.

Montgomery, December 19.-(Special)-- Publication this morning of a report that John Gamble, senator from Pike, had definitely announced the candidacy of Charles Henderson of Troy for governor, caused stir even on quiet Sunday, but later on Captain Henderson stated that MT. Gamble did not intend to say that he would certainly enter the race. MT. Gamble appears to have spoken as representing Hendersons friends, who are urging him to offer. rather than Tender son himself.
 In this connection it is understood that the leaders of the antis in the recent amendment race have called a meeting of at which an effort will be made to agree upon some one man. Whether this means that they will try to get O'Neal out for Henderson, or decide to support ONeal, is yet not stated, but the impression is that the former course is the most likely.
 With Moody eliminated, the belief down here is general that a desperate effort to make the Troy man the leader will be made. The conference will include, one hears. pretty much the same forces who formed the famous September con ference, when opposition to the amend ment was organized. Captain Henderson is reticent, but it is easy to see that his friends are preparing to swing his candidacy if it can possibly be done.

MORGAN KEEPS
 DEALS SECRET

New York, December 19.-(Special.)-On of J. P. Morgans partners told re- porter today that he knew no more about Mr Morgans purchase of the controlling interest in the merged telephone lines in the central west than apparently was known by the public.
 T will say this" he added, that if MT Morgan has secured control of the telephone systems in Ohio and Indiana. he will be the boss of the job. Mir Morgan never goes heavily into anything that he does not control.'
 In the financial district the opinion was general that MT. Morgan's purchase of this established telephone lines foreshad- ows his entrance as a powerful, if not the dominating factor in the gigantic tele- phone and telegraph trust. He has se- cured control of the systems between Cleveland, Toledo, Columbus and Indian apolis, with branch lines completely ram flying Ohio and Indiana. He paid sS3. 000,00O for a sufficient amount of the shares of each company, composing the system to give him absolute control
 It is conceded by telegraph and tele- phone experts that the system occupies the best strategic position in the entire field of electric communication in the country Representatives of both the Postal and Western Union Telegraph com panies say today that if MT. Morgan did make the purchases it was with the view of starting competition to those concerns. They admitted that he could very easily increase and improve the equipment of the lines so as to have his wires carry both telephone and telegraph messages, but they said MT. Morgan rarely ever did business that way.
 We believe" declared a man close to George Gould in the manaeement of the Western Union. "that Morgan's en- trance into the communication of the country will only strengthe nexisting con- ditions MT. Morgan. you know. never tears down. He always builds up. Be- fore he undertakes to build he invariably informs himself as to the situation of the business in which he invests his money. Instead of his fighting we should look for him to work with us in harmony.

 The appraisers found many former valuable tapestries almost beyond hope of placing any price upon them. Ninety chairs were found to be only spurious and rickety and worth about $1.5O apiece after the gilt had been scraped off.
 Paintings which were supposed to be worth thousands of dollars on account of their authors are also believed to be frauds. The piano was valued at S75
