STREET sPRiNkLiNo
| Abutters This Year to Pay Two
Thirds Of the Expense.

Among many of the residents of
the village. judging from the number
of calls made upon the village clerk
and Chairman Buss of the street CON-
mittee. there must be some misunder-
standing in relation to the manner In
which the street sprinkling is being
conducted this year.
At the last session of the legisla-
ture an amendment to the village
charter was enacted watch empower
ed the village government to lay out
section of the village streets in
sprinkling district and to assess two
thirds of the expense of the years
sprinkling upon the abutting property
owners.
The amendment provides that one
third of the annual expense for
sprinkling may be assessed against
the abutter on one side of the street.
one-third against the abutter on the
other side and the other side ia to
be paid by the village.
To enlarge the sprinkling district
must necessarily increase the expense
and II the sprinklers are sent into
the outskirts of the village two-thirds
OF this increase must fall upon the
property owners.
Including the cost of the sprinkIers
the expense Of sprinkling last year
was over $500 and will probably be
over $1,000 during the present season.

Autopsy to Be Performed by
DR.. B. H. Stone
CASE is AN OBSCURE ONE
Suspicion That Box and Contents
Were Thrown Into Water by
Some One from Out Of Town

The body of the male infant found
under the Holden, Leonard company
dam Monday forenoon was taken this
morning to the state laboratory at
Burlington where an autopsy will be
performed by DIR. b. II. Stone as soon
as he returns from Woodstock where
he is acting as witness in the trial
of the Italian recently arrested for the

THREAT BRINGS
TAFT TO TERMS
CONGRESSMAN GOT HIS MAN IN
CENSUS sUPERvIsoRsHIP IN
SPITE OF DURAND.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-President
Taft today settled the North Carolina
census supervisorship, which had been
darkening the political moon around
the White House for several days.
Representative Morehead, of the Fifth
North Carolina District, had threat
ened to resign his seat in Congress
because he said he was the only Re-
publican Representative who had not
been consulted about the appointment
of a supervisor in his own district.
Mr.. Morehead had recommended for
arnointment a friend and superior
named Joyce. The Director OF the
Census. however, had secured the ap-
nointment of Prof j. r. Glasson. Mr..
Morehead registered a vigorous pro
fest and today the appointment OF
Prof .Glasson was revoked and the
Mace will go to Mr.. Joyce. Prol'
Glasson will be given position IN the
Census Bureau at Washington.

House of Lords amendment to the
Irish land bill on Nov. stood PIG

gustine Birrell, Chief Secretary for

anxious to come to terms, as the fail

Bile situation in Ireland and that an
effort would be made to arrange a
compromise between the two houses

pointed for this purpose.

PADGETT BELIEVES
CONGRESS WILL LOOK
INTOCUSTOM FRAUDS
SINCE RECENT EXPOSURES RE-
PU8LIcANs WILL BE FORCED
TO ACT.
DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS GOOD
Seventh District Member Thinks Re
publieans Will Lose Next House.
Leaves For Washington to Attend
The Monetary Commission.

Congressman Padgett believes that
there will be a congressional investi-
cation of the frauds in the customs
service. This opinion was expressed
by the member from this district just
before his departure for Washington
this morning. This investigation
would have been made before
if the Democrats had had
their way But the Re-
publicans are always opposed to the
investigation of the departments Of
government until after a scandal has
developed and they are forced to take
notice of it. They fear these inves-
LEGATIONS and will thwart every effort
to make them as long as it is possible.
They naturally argue that in cases of
his kind ignorance of thievery and
peculations of the departments is
bliss"
Congressman Padgett intimated that
there were other departments of the
government that could be protitably in
vestigated, but he did not think that
the Republicans would permit the ap-
pointment of committees for that pur-
pose. The Seventh District member
does not believe that the coming ses-
sion will be OF more than ordinary in
terest and inclines to believe that the
adjournment will be taken at an
earlier date than usual due to the
fact that the tariff question having
been disposed of so far as the enact
ment of legislation at this time is con-
cerned at the extra session, will give
more time for the disposition of other
business.
Mr.. Padgett believes that the
chances for the election of a Demo-
cratic House next year are excellent.
he does not believe that the Payne
tariff act will satisfy the Republicans
of the Northwest and he sees encour-
aging signs for Democratic victory in
he recent election in Massachusetts.
Mr.. Padgett goes to Washington In
advance of the day for the meeting of
Congress in order to attend the SEES
sions Of the monetary commission OF
which he is a prominent member.
On Nov. 80 he will speak at banquet
before the Commercial Club of New
York at which many of the most prom
inent fnanciers of the country will
be present.

CITY TO COLLECT
TAX ON PROPERTY
IN CLERKS HANDS
SEVERAL SUITS ARE PENDING
AND ONE GOES BY
DEFAULT.
HARLAN ESTATE is ASSESSED
Point of Law Involved An Intricate
One And Has Never Been
Brought Before The Higher
Court.

The right Of the city to collect taxes
on property in the hands of the clerk
and master has been in a measure
decided in the affirmative In the case
of the city VS.. the Ben Harlan estate.
The suit was not tried on its merits,
the decision being by default the de-
PENDANTS failing to appear.
This is one of a number of cases
now pending before Recorder Erwin,
and the point of law involved is an
unusual one, and according TO counsel
has never before been passed upon.
The city will be benefited several
hundred dollars if the decision of the
recorder is sustained.
In the Kittrell case. which is in
some degree similar to that of the one
just passed on, strenuous legal fight
was put up. ]. H. Dining, represent
ing Mrs. Kittrell, argued that the city
cannot tax property now in the hands
of the clerk and master, and listed
from the Ninth district. w. j. Tow
Ter, representing the city. contended
that the property was assessable.
The Harlan estate is now in the
process of being wound up, and about
1000 in cash is in the hands of the
clerk and master. The city tax would
be about $500 for the past three years

HOG KILLING-SAUSAGE
AND RIBS.

The hog killing weather promised
by the weather man materialized and
as a consequence the number of pork
ers sluoghters Thursday in Maury
county will run into the thousands. The
high price of corn, the scarcity OF
meat, and the prospects of change
of diet are incentives sufficient to
cause the demise of a large number
of hogs.
The hog crop this season is reason
ably heavy, and the animals are in
good killing order. By tomorrow, 1t
