as being highly pleased with the horses
of Maury county and especially so
with the Halls and Directs. He pro-
nounced Geers Direct a wonderful
race animal and stated that if his leg
gave him no further trouble there was
no reason why he should not pace a

Talks of Pool Selling And The sa.
loon And Their Effects Upon the
Horse Business.

The worldwide reputation of the
Maury county horse is bearing fruit
to his owner every day in the year
He is being sought after. His quail.
ties as racer and roadster, are we'll
known factors. Horsemen from all
over the United States come to Co
lumbia to look at these beautiful
specimens of horse flesh. And the
verdict of these visitors in invariably
that the horses bred and raised in
this county are the best they have
ever seen. The latest visitor to Maury
is ]. P. Wilson, of st. Anthony, Idaho.
Mr.. Wilson was at South Side Park
all day Tuesday-work out day-and
after seeing the work outs OF the
bunch said that he had witnessed the
work outs at Memphis the day before
and that he saw nothing that came
up to what he saw here. In speaking
of the horses generally he said that
he had never seen finer bunch of
race horses gotten together than
those now at the Park. In his con-
versation with a Herald man, Mr.. Will
son said: 81 have never seen a more
perfect specimen of a race horse and
stallion than Walter Direct. He is
undoubtedly the greatest horse that

pulled off of High Ball, who has a

says he is two minute horse. If he
is, it goes without saying that he will

LABOR AND PROHIBITION.

He Rev. Charles Stelzle who is to speak
n before the meeting under the auspices ot
the Young Mems Christian Association to be
held at the Garrck Theatre on Sunday, is re-
narkable character. He is credited with kicking
up what may prove to be one of the warmest
fights that have disturbed the American FEEDER
alton of Labor He thrust the wet or dry
question before the Federation by holding a
temperance mass meeting in Toronto on Sunday
last which meeting was addressed by John
Mitchell, tom" Lewis, head OF the miners and
Iohn b. Lennon Treasurer of the National
Federation
For time it looked as if the temperance mat
ter would be brought up on the floor of the con-
venton, but the leaders kept it in the back
ground.
The labor leaders who addressed the temper
ance meeting made it clear that they were speak
ing as individuals, not as officials past officials
OF the Federation. But they furnished material
that will be used to the utmost by the Anti
Saloon League At the same time the FEEDER
alton members who are allied with the brew
cry and liquor interests have opened a terrific
fire on Mr.. Stelzle.
One effect of the controversy has been that
newspapers which have been waging on
labor unions see in this temperance agitation
chance to predict that it will bust the FEEDER
alton. These enemies of the Federation seize
upon any prcteXt to create discord.
The wet or dry problem is destined to
make trouble wherever it appears, as we in Dela-
ware know and the Federation leaders, if the
agitation proceeds, will find themselves walking
on hot Goals But that such matter could
seriously disrupt the Federation is not thought
probable

WASTE COAL
Of 9O,OOO,OOO Tons Used Gov
ernment Expert Says Much
is a Loss

WASHINGTON. d. c., November is.
Ninety million tons of coal. one fifth
of the total production Of the country,
were consumed by the $1,000 locomo-
tiyes in the United States i'm 1906 in
hauling freight and passenger trains.
This fuel cost the railroad companies
$40. 100000
This enormous consumption Of coal
by the railroads led the United states
Geological Survey through it's Technol-
ogic Branch, to conduct a series of tests
on a locomotive TO determine whether
or not there could be a saving to the
country in the amount Of fuel used and
the results have just been announced
I'm a bulletin of the survey.
Professor W. f. Goss, now dean OF
the University OF Illinois, who had
charge Of the experiments makes the
statement that Of the total 90,000000
tons OF coal used, 10,0S00O0 tons are lost
through the heat in the gases hat are
discharged from tho stacks of the To-
comotives; S,640,000 tons are lost
through cinders and sparks; 5,e4OOOo
tons are lost through radiation, leakage
OF stea mand water; 1850, 900 tons are
lost through unconsumed fuel in the
through the incomplete combustion OF
gases. In addition, $4,000, 900 tons are
consumed in starting fires, in moving
the locomotive TO its train, I'm backing
trains into OF out OF sidings and in
keeping the locomotive hot while stand
ing.
Under ideal conditions Of operation
says Professor Goss, much OF the fue
thus used could be saved, and it Is
reasonable to expect that the norma
process Of evolution I'm railroad prac-
tice viii tend gradually to bring about
some reduction in the consumption thus
accounted for. The loss represented by
the heat Of discharged gases offers an
attractive field 10 those who would i'm
prove the efficiency Of the boiler. The
fuel loss In the form Of cinders passing
out of the stack is very large and may
readily be reduced. IL is not unrea-
sonabe TO expect that the entire loss
covered by this item win in time bt
