dates in the primary Saturday.
The committee was called to order
bv Chairman Smiser at noon and the
roll was called by the Secretary. A
quorum appeared and Secretary Fin
new announced that the official retur s

the heirs of the late Carl Joseph
Specht found only papers Of per-
sonal and historical nature when they
forced open a wooden casket deposit
ted by Specht a quarter of a century

was premature, it developed, the in

was encased in lead, indicating that
the casket should not have been
opened until 1875 instead OF yester-
day. After the family documents

doubtless another group, just as ex-
pectant, will witness the rebreaking

COUNTY DEMOCRATIC
TICKET FOR AUGUST
IS NOW COMPLETED
EXPECTED THAT 1T WILL Re
cENE FULL STRENGTH OF
PARTY.
SOMETHING ABOUT TIL WINNERS
Taylor, McFall and Goodwin Are All
Young Men and Familiar With Du-
ties of OFFICES They Will Ful-De-
feated Candidates Yield Gracefully.

With the adoption of a resolution
Monday by the Democratic Executive
Committee formally declaring the nom
inees of last Saturdays primary the
selecting of the Democratic candidates
in Maury county for the county othces
is now a matter of history. The tick
ct is complete and while there are
comparatiely few in the county who
voted as first choice for the entire
ticket no trouble in electing 1t is an
ticipated. The ticket will meet with
general approval and is probably as
strong as ever presented to the people
of Maury county Oy the Democratic
party.
Sam ]. Taylor, the nominee for Reg
ister is we'll qualified for the office
which he will fill after September l.
Although infirm physically he is we'll
equipped for clerical place. Ana
hle. courteous and obliging his friends
predict that his administration OF the
duties of the office of Register will be
altogether above criticism. His race
Saturday was the fourth that he has
made for this office and well will he
deserve it's emoluments.
w. Spence McFall, who will on Sep
TENDER succeed. Elem Thomas as
Trustee, is a young man. He is about
thirty-five years of age and his train
ing and experience in clerical posi-
tions fits him for the discharge of the
duties of the Office to which he was
elected. No man stands higher in
Maury county for honesty, character
and attention to duty than Mr., McFali
and it is safe to say that he will poll
the entire strength of the party In the
August election.
Claud Goodwin will become the coun-
tvs chief peace officer on September
/. He will not be unfamiliar with the
duties of the place having served for
deputy for several years under James
H. Forgey. Mr.. Goodwin is active ana
diligent and his friends predict that ne
will make a first class Sheriff.
A remarkable and noteworthy fea-
ture of the primary, which is at once
tribute to it's fairness, despite the DEM
agogic and false cry that it was con-
Quoted by machine" and is also
tribute to the Democracy of the los
ers, lies in the fact that every defeat
ed candidate has announced full &C
ouiesence in the result and pledged full
support to the ticket.
Mr.. Whitaker and Mr.. Addison both
stated Saturday night that they were
satisfied that they had been honorably
beaten and pledged their support to
the winners. Each declared that he
came out Of the campaign without bit
terness or complaint but with hearts
full of gratitude to the friends who
stood so Loyalty by them.

CHEERFUL PROSPECT, THIS, FOR

ABHoRS DIRT.

NEW ALBANY, Ind, Feb. 10
Housewives may, within a few months
be compelled to pay a dollar for an
ardinary broom, is the discouraging
prediction Of the large manufacturers
of this commodity in Southern Indi-
ana. Evansville factories are re-
ported to be offering three times the
normal price for broomcorn, and find
II an extremely scarce article, even
at that figure.
It is stated that with the supply now
on hand If an equal division could be
made, there is only enough broom
corn in the country to supply two
brooms to each family. and the next
harvest Is months away.
Many farmers in the vicinity OF
New Albany, encouraged by the pre-
vailing high prices, will supplant
other crops this year with broomcorn.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES
SENATOR ALDRICH TALKS OF
THE POLITICAL SITUATION

When asked IL it was not more of a
question of the tariff being burden of
the poor and the enrichment of the few
instead of one Of patriotism, Mr. Aldrich
said:
THAT has been answered often. In
creased cost of living is not problem
peculiar to the United States alone. 1t
is worldwide and is being agitated In
Germany, France and Egypt. 1t is doubt
less due to the fact that everybody de-
sires to have better food and clothes
and other things than what formerly con-
tented the various classes.
Goods sold cheaper abroad than at
home has caused question In all coun-
tries 1t is due to the fact that all man.
ufacturers in all countries would rather
sell cheap abroad upon occasion than to
accumulate stock at home and have to
shut down their plants.
Germans complain of German goods
being sold cheaper in Rio Janeiro than
in Berlin and the French of silks sold
cheaper In Algiers than in Lyons, where
thew were made. The fact Is simple and
plain that under tariff the United
states has become great. powerful and

KITCHENER WILL
REORGANIZE ARMY

London, September 24.-tSpecial.)-
That Lord Kitchener will be called to
take active part in the reorganization
OF the British army is regarded as
certain as a result of tfNe grotesque
showing h,l.ie in the array maneuvers
Just c, led.
1t is admitted by papers of all shades
of opinion that the maneuvers result
ed in a frightful fiasco. The Express
calls 1t gigantic muddle. There was
hopeless confusion. Some battalions
fired on their own allies in the fearful
and wonderful tangle. The foreign at
taches openly expressed their con-
tempt for the British generals.
The aeroplanes which were to do the
scouting could not fly. Had the troops
been engaged in real warfare with
an army like that of Germany they
would have been annihilated.
1t is the universal opinion that no
man in Great Britain save Kitchener
can put the army on an effective fight
ing basis.
