Duncan Advises Granite Cutters To
Sion Agreement

OiSH
Quincy. Mass. Feb. 1S.-The end
OF the strike in the Vermont granite
industry, which has forced 5000 men
into idleness during the past ten
weeks is in immediate prospect ac-
cording to a statement yesterday by
James Duncan, secretary of the In
ternational Granite Cutters associa-
ton. Mr. Duncan states that the
Barre branch of cutters has been ad-
vised by the international body to
sign the new agreement preferred by
the manufacturers. Cutters in the
other districts in that vicinity will
folio the action of the Barre branch
he says, and the other workmen, too,
will then be able to go to work. Mr..
Duncan states that this settlement
probably will be arranged so that
work will be resumed next Monday.

There is no Disgusting the fact
that the declination of Gates to be a
candidate has resulted in quite a
boom in Fleetwood stock. A large
number of voters throughout the
state who are opposed to Dr. Mead

gone in, have now turned to Fleet

the old style greasy salves and lotions,
which are not only unpleasant to use,
but do not destroy the germ life that

men in refusing to support regular
democratic nominees, while at the
same time resolution was adopted
amid cheers thanking Senator Robt. l..
Taylor for his loyalty to the party and
inviting and urging him to be the guest
of and address Maury's democrats on
two occasions before the election.
The resolution indorsing Gov. Patter-
son and condemning the democratic
congressman was introduced by Mr..
PEBBLES, and is as follows:
"Be it resolved, That the Maury
county executive committee here and
now renews its faith and reaffirms its
allegiance to the party by indorsing
the administration of Gov. M. II. Pat
terson, the platform adopted by the
democratic convention in Nashville on
June 1e, 1910, and by pledging its sup
port to all nominees heretofore named
by the county, district and state or
ganizations from governor down to
constable; and to such nominees as are
hereafter to be chosen we give our in
dorsement as fully and freely as II al
ready named.
Whereas, the Tennessee congress-
men, who owe their position to the
democratic nomination bestowed upon
them, have declined to make speeches
for the democratic ticket during July,
and assigned as a reason that their po-
sition may be endangered now there
fore, ashamed Of their ingratitude and
amazed at their silly excuse, we remind
them that while their course may re-
turn them their offices and salaries, yet
it has been said that Loyalty is the
crowning virtue of the human heart,
that defeated democrat is more loved
and respected in Maury county than he
who wins success by failure to stand
hy the party and coalition, with repub-
licans."
Similar action will probably be taken
by other counties in this congressional
district.
