TO FIX TIME FOR
NAMING CANDIDATES
FOR THE JUDICIARY
COMMITTEE OF ELEVENTH CIR.
CUT TO MEET HERE
DEC. 8.
SMISER ISSUES FORMAL GAIL
Expected That Primary VIII Be Held
Either in February or April-can-
didates are Divided as to Time, But
Not on Method.

There will be meeting Of the Dem.
ocratic Executive Committee of the
Eleventh Circuit held at Columbia on
next Wednesday, Dec. g. Chairman
Smiser of the Democratic Executive
Committee of this county, and a mem
Der of the Judiciary Committee, an
nounced this morning that he would
issue call for the meeting for next
Wednesday. At this meeting the com
mittee will decide upon the time and
the method for nominating candidates
for Judge and Attorney General.
The Judiciary Committee is com.
posed of the Chairman of the Demo
cratic county committees of the coun-
ties composing the circuit, Maury,
Giles, Lawrence, Lewis, Hickman and
Wayne. 1t is probable that Chairman
Smiser will be elected Chairman Of
the Judiciary Committe. A full at
tendance of all the members is antici-
pated.
There is little reason to doubt that
the committee will order primary for
the nomination of candidates, although
there is some sentiment among the
party leaders for the time tried con-
vention plan. Upon the date for the
primary there is q wide difference Of
opinion. Some of the candidates, ii
is understood, favor early action,
while others would rather have long
er campaign.
At this time it seems probable that
the primary will either be held in Feb
ruary or in April. If it is held in Feb
ruary it will be either on the date of
9Th, or the run-off primary, one week
later. If held at that time separate
ballot boxes will have to be provided
because the rules and restrictions for
the primary will no doubt be very diff
ferent from those that will apply in
the county primary. If not held in
February the primary will be held in
April.

MAURY FOUNTAINS
ARE DOING WELL
JUDGE GORDON FINDS BOYS AND
GIRLS FROM HERE AT SCHOOL
MAKING PROGRESS.

Judge w. o. Gordon, of the County
Court, spent Thanksgiving Day at the
Tennessee Industrial School at Nash
Vile, where he visited and personally
interviewed every one of the twenty
nine pupils there from Maury county.
Judge Gordon was very much pleased
with the conditions which he found
at the institution. He stated this
morning that he found all of the boys
and girls in the school from Maury
county in good spirits and that none
of them had a complaint to register
He carefully inquired as TO their
studies their work and their disci-
pline and found that all was entirely
satisfactory. Some of the youths
were known to Judge Gordon before
they went to the institution and he
discovered that they had all made
great progress in their studies since
going there. If there are any parents
or guardians of children of the school
in this county who would like to hear
directly from them they can do so by
calling on Judge Gordon. The Judge
has found an excellent home for one
Of the girls from this county commit
ted to the institution as State pulpit.

thanksgiving Day passed quietly
in Columbia-very quietly. The
streets we're practically deserted dur
ing the day, with only here and there
an occasional pedestrian dotting the
white surface of the new sidewalks.
There was services at three of the
churches. few Thanksgiving dinners
q, the pretentious order, many family
dinners, and very little else in the way
n, entertainment. There was no show
at the Opera House, no Thanksgiving
ball.
At 1890 o'clock Rev. A. G. Dinwid-
die preached a Thanksgiving sermon
at the First Baptist church, where the
union services were held DR.. Col
Inns Denny, of Vanderbilt, preached at
II o'clock at the First Presbyterian
church. At $3.50 o'clock Rev. w. B.
Capers conducted services at St.
Peters Episcopal church. All the
services were reasonably well attend
ed
During the day the Kings Daugh-
tiers received donations, and supplied
the pressing needs of the poor. The
Mission societies of the First Meth
odist church also held a meeting ia
the Sunday school room of the church.
The prisoners at the Jail and work
house were served bountifully with
the delicacies appropriate to the seas
on, and everywhere good cheer
reigned.
Down town there was nothing doing
in the business line. All the stores
we're closed with the exception of the
drug stores and restaurants. The
post office observed Sunday hours, and
the courts recessed for the day. Prac-
tically all the clerks got a holiday,
as did the proprietors, and all of them
enjoyed the day in the manner that
appealed to them most.
The star Thanksgiving attraction
was not in Columbia but in Nashville.
The acknowledgements game was
the lodester toward which half a
thousand enthusiasts were irresistibly
drawn. The early train consisted OF
nine coaches, and all of them were
filled Other trains alec carried a
good contingent, and there is no doubt
but that Maury county contributed
greatyl to the throng that packed the
streets of the capital city. The root
ers were pretty evenly divided. Sc
vance was popular because of her
location in the mountains, her church
connection her gameness on the grid
iron, and because of her many recent
defeats at the hands OF Vanderbilt.
Onsthe other hand Vanderbilt was pop
ular because of her alumni here, her
series of Victories her church connec-
ton, and all the other contributing
causes that give a school personality
and popularity. Most of the local
money went on Vanderbilt and con-
siderable of the filthy lucre is said to
have changed hands. 1t Is related
that one enthusiast, who has been
wagering a neat sum on Sewanee for
the past steen years, turned toward
Vanderbilt as good thing-and lost.
Taken all in all Thanksgiving day
Of this year was much like that Of last
year, and was generally observed and
enjoyed.

The most interesting announce
ment eve made in connection with
the automobile industry was I'M
doubtedly that made a month or two
ago to the effect hat the new models
Of the White Steam Cars could be run
on kerosene. or coal oil, instead Of
gasoline. Everyone at once recog-
nized that the use of the new fuel
would add materially to the advan-
tages which the White already pos
sessed over other types Of cars.
There were some people. however.
who were sceptical as to whether or
not the new fuel could be used with
complete success. and. therefore, the
makers OF the White Car. the White
Company. Of Cleveland. Ohio. deter.
mined to make a public demonstra-
ton Of the new fuel in the 1909 Gid
den Tour.

was certainly more than sufficient to
bring out any weaknesses. II such had
existed. Still more important was
the fact that the car was at all times
while on the road under the supervi-
sion Of observers named by those
who entered other ~contesting cars.
Therefore. 1t would have been impos-
sible for the driver OF the White to
have even frightened a bolt without
the fact being noted and a penalty in
ficted. At night the cars were
guarded by Pinkerton detectives and
could not be approached by any one.

The complete success OF the new

test and the advantages gained
through its use we're well described
in the following dispatch which the
correspondent Of the New York Sun
Ten to his paper at the conclusion Of
the tour:
"A feature OF the tour which was
watched with special interest was
that the White Steamer used kero-
sene. or coal OIL as fuel instead Of
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 2650-mile
journey, and all claims made in its
behalf were fully proven. First Of
all. as regards cheapness. the White
driver secured kerosene all along the
route from 6 cents to 10 cents cheap
er per gallon than was paid for gaso-
line. Secondly, the new fuel vas
handled without any precautions, and
II was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew OF the car and an interested
crowd stood by with lighted cigars
and cigarettes. At the finish of the
tour. the White was the only car per-
mitted by the authorities to enter
Convention Hall. where the technical
examination took place. without
draining its fuel tank. Thirdly, the
new fuel proved to be absolutely
without smoke or smell. Fourthly.
kerosene could be purchased at what
ever part of the route vas most con-
venient, and not once during the trip

West was there found a grocery store

According to a statement OF the Ma.

persons hopelessly diseased with
tuberculosis annually come to die In
the states Of California. Arizona, New
Mexico. Texas and Colorado, most Of
them by order of their physicians. The
statement. which is based upon the
testimony OF w~ell-known experts, and
all valuable statistics. shows that at
least 30 per emit Of those who 60 TO
the southwest every year for their
health are SO far advanced In their
disease that they cannot hope for a
cure In any climate. under any cir.
c~umstances. More than this. at least
SO per cent. of these advanced cases
are so poor that they have not sum
means to provide for the proper
n~ecessaries OF life, which means that
ABS consumptives are either starved
to death or forced to accept charitable
relief every year.
