RECTOR
HAS BEEN CALLED BY
Est. PETERS CHURCH
REV. STEPHEN POWER WILL BE
HERE DURING THE LENTEN
SEASON.
breaches At MT. PLEASANT
Will Deliver Sermon Every
Sunday Morning at The Holy
Cross Churchill Assist Or. w. 3.
Capers.

Rev. stephen Power, Of Sewanee,
has been extended a call by St Peters
Episcopal church as assistant rector,
and has temporarily accepted the call.
Rev. Power will be here during Lent,
and will probably accept the call per-
manently.
Although coming as the assistant
rector of st. Peters, Rev. Powers will
devote part of his time to the church
OF the Holy Cross, at Mt. Pleasant,
and will preach there every Sunday
morning.
Rev. Power comes here principally
to assist in the pastoral work, but will
occupy the pulpit of St. Peters at
some of the Sunday evening services
and will also preach at the Advent
Chapel.
The necessity for an assistant rector
is due to Dr. Capers election as presi-
dent of Columbia Institute, and his
inability to give to his parish as much
of his time as he formerly did. Prior
to being elected president of the Insti-
tute DIR. Capers devoted his entire time
to church work.
The call to Rev Power was extended
at a meeting of the vestry held on
last Sunday evening, and his letter of
acceptance has just been received
Rev. Power. although young man,
is said to be a scholarly and eloquent
minister, and he will be gladly well
coined here by all churches, irrespec-
tive of denomination.

. Term Tennessee's Record for Long
Service viii be Equalled-First
Chosen TO the Bench in 1886.

Hon. Walter S. Bearden, of Shelby
Vile. today formally announces his
candidacy for reelection as Chancellor
of this division. 1t has been expected
for some time that the Chancellor
would again be a candidate and while
for this reason his announcement Will
occasion no surprise. it will be deeply
gratifying to his numerous friends all
over the State to know that he has
again consented to stand for election
as Chancellor. 1t assures the people
of his very capable and faithful SER
vices for another eight years.
That Judge Bearden will not have
onnosition now seems practically as
sured. Some time ago it was known
that one or two lawyers in the division
contemplated a measurement of lances
with Judge Bearden, but recently II
has become evident that they have
reached the conclusion that the task
is not at all to their liking.
Judge Bearden already holds the rec
ord for continued service as Chan
cellor. At the expiration of his pres
ent term, Sept /, next he Will have
been continuously on the bench for
twenty-four years. The nearest APP
nroach to that record is the service OF
Chancellor Mcconnell, who has been
on the bench for nineteen years
Should Judge Bearden be reelected
as he almost certainly will be, he Will
have been Chancellor for thirty-tWo
years or longer than any Chancellor
ever SERVED in Tennessee and VIII
equal the record held by Judge Flip
pin. who was on the Circuit bench for
that length of time.
Judge Bearden was gallant Confed-
crate soldier After the war he en-
tered upon the practice of law at Shel-
hvville, where he has since resided.
ua ranidly forged to the front OF the
bar of a city long noted for the hlgh
character and ability OF its lawyers
In 1886 he was elected Chancellor OF
his division, which then embraced all
the counties from Bedford to Warren
In 1894 he was reelected without OPP
nosition. The Legislature OF 1899
changed the entire division, but the
changes did not take effect until the
next election, so that when Judge
Bearden announced his candidacy for
the third term in 1902 he faced con-
stituency a majority of whom were
strangers to him But so hlgh ala ne
stand in the estimation of the bar and
people that he was elected without op-
position.

S. FLEMING
HAS JUST LEARNED
OF ALLEGED TRAGEDY
THE NEWS WAS BROKE NTo HIM
BY A NEWSPAPER
CLIPPING.
v. S. FLEMING is IN CHICAGO
Goes in The Interest Of His heI-
ative-says Motive That Prompted
Crime Not Yet ReveaIed-Away
Some Days.

When the tremulous hands Of Stuart
S. Fleming accidentally grasped
newspaper clipping purporting to give
a version of the alleged wholesale
poisoning of the Swope heirs in Kan
sas City, Wednesday morning at Quer-
Gus Lawn, his country home, 1t was the
first intimation that he had received
of the big tragedy in which he came
so near playing prominent part. III
with typhoid fever, shut off from the
outside world by every barrier that
loving hands could raise, he has been
kept in total ignorance of the develop
ments in the most wonderful conspir-
acy of the century, if it was a con-
spiracy.
Mr.. Fleming came home from Kan
sas City some weeks ago with typhoid
fever Once the disease had been
diagnosed as deadly typhoid he took
the first train back to Maury county,
arriving here i'll and wan. 1t was be-
lieved here that Mr.. Flemings illness
was due to worry and work, and that
in a few days he would be out But
he held from the first that the dag
nosis of the Kansas City physician
was correct, and his contention was
verified by the facts. After withstand
ing the ravages of the disease Mr..
Fleming was well on the road to recov-
cry when relapse came. Since then
he has been carefully guarded from all
excitment, and has been permitted to
know nothing of what was going on
in the West.
It was by chance that the clipping
fell into Mr.. F1eming's hand Wednesday
morning. For days his mail had been
censored, his newspapers often sup
messed But he is now so far on the
road to recovery that Wednesday ne
was able to walk on the verandah, and
while thus exercising himself his eye
fell on the clipping, which he had
picked up in his walk.
Whether or not Mr., Fleming be-
lieves the rumors af1oat in Kansas
CITY relative to the incubation of the
Swope heirs with typhoid germs is not
known. as he is not yet well enough
to give out statement for puDllca-
ton.

ANNIVERSARY OF
NOTED BATTLE
MILL SPRINGS BATTLE ON JAN.
1s, 1s62-zoLLlcoFFER
KILLED.

January 18th, 1862, occurred the bat
tie OF Mill Springs, KY, the first Sc
rious Confederate disaster in the West,
followed in less than month by the
surrender OF Fort Donelson,
causing the abandonment OF
Middle Tennessee to the Federals.
Gen. Felix X. Zollicoffer was killed at
Mill Springs, his death causing pro-
found sensation throughout the State.
It is gratifying to note that Miss Susie
Gentry. founder and president OF the
Watauga- Cumberland Association, is
taking steps to suitably mark the resi-
dence of Gen. zollicoffer at Nashville
by a memorial tablet, to be dedicated
on his birthday in May. Gen. zolli'
Golfer was born in Maury county mar
ried here and was long a resident OF
Columbia.

A CODY of the opinion of the Su-

to Warren Irvine, as was at first be-
lieved here from meagre reports of

to construe the will. claiming that I'M

to the entire estate, and the chancel-
Tor so held. The case was appealed on
a writ of error to the Supreme Court
and the Supreme Court held the chan

a fee simple estate, and that the re-

w. s. FLEMING
Visits Chicago in the Interest OF stuart
S. Flemne-Away Some Days.

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan 19.-W. 5.
Fleming is here for the purpose OF
learning the findings of physicians as
to contents of the stomach of the late
Col. Thomas Swope. Following the
empaneling of coroner's jury an au-
tousy was ordered held on the body
of the deceased millionaire, and the
task was entrusted to the physicians
at Rush College What those findings
are remains to be discovered.
Mr.. Fleming was reticent in regard
to the Kansas City tragedy, but 1t
was evident that he placed much
credence in the poisoning theory. He
would not discuss the motive that Is
supposed to have prompted the crime,
hut it was learned from him that when
this motive was revealed, as 1t Will
he If an arrest is made, that there VIII
be another surprise in store for those
who have been watching developments
with such undisguised interest for the
.past few days. The man under sus-
nicion is said to be a physician and
society man, and he is now being
shadowed by Ave detectives. Much
denends on the result of the autopsy.
Mr.. Fleming will be here several days.

poses, your family being with you in
Mississippi a greater part of the time
you were there; but that you were
simply abiding there, with the fixed
and absolute purpose to continue your
domicile and citizenship in Maury
County; that here you have continued
to pay your poll tax-to vote and to
exercise all such duties and rights of
citizen of Maury County-returning
here periodically as to your home,
your domicile, and that you have not,
at any time. even so much as contem-
plated making Mississippi your perma-
nent home or domicile, or to become
citizen of that state; but that, on
the contrary, you have always, when
going to or remaining in Mississippi,
done so with the fixed and unaltered
purpose and determination of not
changing your citizenship, your DOM
icile or your home, from Maury Coun-
ty. the domicile of your nativity.
Assuming the foregoing facts we
proceed to the investigation
| understand that the first objection
to your eligibility is claimed to be,
Section of Article 6 of the Constitu-
ton of Tennessee. 1t is as follows;
1.-THE judges of the circuit and chan
cerv courts, and of other inferior
courts shall be elected by the quail
fed voters of the district or circuit to
which they are to be assigned Every
Judge of such courts shall be thirty
years of age, and shall, before his
election, have been resident of the
state for five years, and of the circuit
or district one year His term of
service shall be eight years"
Does this provision of the constitu-
ton apply to the Office of county
Judge?
Observe the requirement, In precise
and specific words, that the judges
therein referred to shall have been a
resident of the state for hve years,
and OF the circuit or district (not the
county, for one year. This provision,
insofar as it is applicable to eligibility,
obviously refers to circuit or district
judges, or judges of judicial circuit
or district inferior to our chancellors
or constitutional circuit judges, and
not to county judges.
This precise question was before
the Supreme Court of Tennessee in
the case Of Moore VS.. State, Sneed
$40, opinion by Judge Caruthers. One
Edward Moore was convicted, before
the county Judge of Knox County, OF
the unlawful sale of spirituous liquors,

ASSESSOR COWLEY
WILL EQUALIzE THE
TAX ASSESSMENTS
HIS EFFORTS WILL BE DIRECTED
TOWARD ADJUSTMENT
OF VALUES.
SAME BASIS ALL OYER COUNTY
Does Not Think That Actual Cash Val
Iuation Would Be Fair to the Tax
Payers of Maury county-Clty
Property Higher Than County.

1t will be the effort of Tax Assessor
Ben Cowley to equalize the assess
ments OF the county so that all proper
ty no matter where located may be
assessed on the same basis of Valua-
ton. From the examination which he
has so far made of the tax lists Mr..
Cowley is inclined to the opinion that
the property of Columbia is assessed
nearer it's actual cash value than that
of the country districts. He will strive
to reach an assessment on all property
upon the basis of about seventy-five
per cent Of it's actual value.
These statements were made by
Mr.. CowIey this morning. In answer
to a question as to whether or not he
had received letter from Comptrol-
Ter Dibrell with reference to assess
ments at actual cash value, Mr.. Cow
ley said:
NO, | have not yet received Mr..
Dibrells letter but know what the pa
pers have said about it. / shall make
an honest and conscientious effort to
assess property upon an equal basis.
Every tax payer is going to get the
same treatment from me. / have no
prejudice against the city; and OK
course / can be depended upon to do
the country people justice. / know
that property in this county has not
been fairly assessed. In some sec
lions the standards Of value are high
er than in others. That is largely the
fault of the district assessor system.
It is wrong and l shall do all that !
can to correct it.
However, do not that think that
it would be fair or advisable to as
sess property at its actual cash value.
To do so would mean raise in many
instances of 100 per cent and no where
have | found property assessed at its
actual cash value. To do so would
man a raise in many instances OF 100
per cent and nowhere have / found
property assessed at over seventy per
cent and very little that high. But
shall fix a standard and try to go to
it. Were the property of Maury coun-
ty assessed at it's actual cash value
this people would have to pay the
State taxes altogether out of proper
ton to those of any other county, for
in no county of the State is property
assessed at what it is worth. Then
YOU can see that it would be manifest
ly unfair and unjust to the people OK
Maury county to require them to pay
on what their property is worth while
people in every other county pay on
basis of from fifty to seventy per cent
'T recognize that 1t would be better
if property all over the State were
assessed at it's actual value; then the
rate would be lower and no injustice
be done. But until the State Board OF
Eoualization does that I can hardly
be expected to make an exception on
Maury county.
There is property in Columbia thas
is assessed entirely too low; very lit
tie, if any is assessed too high. But
on the whole, think that assess
ments in the city have been made ON
a better basis than those in the coun-
try"
