Davidson County's Books hives
tigated and Suit Filed Against
Bondsnen for Shortage.

/
tionS instituted three months
ago by Comptroller Frank Dbl
rell resulted in the announce
ment last night that P. A. Shell
ton, former county court clerk
of Davidson county, was short
in his accounts in amounts ag-
gregating frym 100000 to
$125,000. Expert bookkeepers
have gone over the books with
attorneys for the state and have
already found,it is said, a short
age of 100000. 1t consists
of the alleged misrepresentation
of state inheritance and privil-
eye tax. A bill has been pre-
pared and it is the intention of
the attorneys for the state to
file suit in the chancery court
this morning against the bonds
men of Mr.. Shelton.
When it leaked out last night
that Mr.. Shelton was said to be
short this enormous amount the
story spread like fire through
the streets of Nashville. For
years County Court Clerk
Shelton held Office in Davidson
county, and was considered one
Of the best officials the county
ever had.
To thoroughly substantiate
the rumor5 Oh the streets, E E.
Barthell, one of the attorneys
for the state, and Comptroller
Frank Dibrell were called over
the telephone about 10 o'clock.
Mr.. Barthell refused to make
any statement whatever. He
said that as attorney in the case
he could not make a stat ment.
He neither affirmed nor denied
the shortage.
Comptroller Dibrell Admits There
Is a Shortage.
When told that your CORE
sDendent had the story and ex-
pected to publish it in The
Chattanooga Times and the
Commercial Appeal,
Mr.. Dibrell reluctantly said:
" Yes, the Investigations have
been made, il has been found
that Mr.. Shelton's books are
short. We do no. know as yet
lust what the shortage will
to, but it will be more
han 100000.
" The investigations have not
oeen finished yet. Besides,
lave not seen the attorneys in
he case for two or three days.
" Mr.. Shelton does not deny
hat he is short, but he is unable
o give any satisfactory expla-
lation of the matter

Immediately following the
death of Judge Beard, the sad
news was telephoned to Clerk
J.. J. Roach, of the supreme
court at the capitol. The SUI
preme court was in session at
The time having taken up the
hearing of arguments for the
day. w. w. Draper, of Gaines
boro, was addressing the court
when Clerk Roach entered the
room and quietly notified Chief
Justice John X. Shields that
Judge Beard had dropped dead.
The chief justice was sodeeply
shocked that he sat for a brief
period as if dazed. He then,
with difficulty controlling his
voice, quietly requested Mr..
Draper to take seat and an
nounced in solemn tones to the
company of attorneys in the
court room the sad intelligence
just received by him. A death
like stiffness prevailed in the
room. The members of the
supreme court and the attor-
neys present from several Mid
die Tennessee counties with
difficulty realized what had oc-
Cured. The shock was deeper
than words can tell. The SUI

Johnson City, Tenn, Dec 5.-Tht
following letter to the industrial depart
ment of the Carolina, Clinchfeld and
Ohio railway was written by a promi
nent broker in a large western city,
himself formerly a southerner, was Civ.
en- out today:
"W. d. Roberts,
assistant Industrial Agent,
&C, G. & o. Ry.,
johnson City, Tenn.
"Dear Sir--I am reading your vari-
GUS articles in the eastern newspapers
regarding your campaign of locating
and advising southern born people in
the west to return and help develop
their own country. Your work is I'M
doubtedly in the right direction, and
will, | think, accomplish great good
for the south and her young men.
81 will venture to say that in no
town along your line are the wages
paid young men of ability as low as
they are in this country. AS showing
this fact, | will enclose clipping from
one of the daily newspapers here which
quotes a want advertisement inserted
by concern here for young man at
Il salary of $65 month, and Boosting
because 246 replies were received from
this ad.' Now the real fact and bullet
hole OF the matter is that either those
246 young men who answered the ad-
vertisement were without employment
or that they were earning less than the
stated.
81 really believe that wages paid for
work here are the lowest | bave
ever kH0wn in all my travels. This
city and country are overrun by people
who come here from the east expecting
to find better opportunities, but they
are being fooled almost every day in
the year. They land here by the thou
sand aud with but little money. Con-
they are stranded in short
time and begin to drift from place TO
place just as you have stated in the
newspapers read.
81 notice you want farmers most of
Ill. This is right, and for all around
agricultural advantages there is no
country anywhere that has bulge ovei
your own.

WOMAN AND HER INSTINCTS
Shc VIII Follow the Law of Her Ma turc Because She Cannot
 Help 1t.

Women will follow the law of their natures, not because masculine or ''~omanly" arguments convince them, but because it was there before they were; they can no more help 1t than they can stop their hearts from beat ing; they have no more choice in the matter than they have in regard to having hands and feet, nor as much. Quite as amenable to the underlying laws of life are the older and sterner members of womankind who chatter on platforms about women's rights. When this kind fall, they fall like Lucifer. l have even observed, though l realize that it will take several aeons before man finds this out, that the StronGe est-minded women are usually the ones capable of the strongest af- factions. tho most apparently unsexed often. in the deepest sense, the most womanIy. The instinct for mother hood is the primal, indestructible fact Of woman's life, and professional work. university life, even-even the ballots are not going to change it, any more than the present style in sleeves Is going to change it. AS well be afraid that water will run up hill, that the Hudson will turn and travel back to the Adirondacks. as that the heart of woman. be she short-haired or long haired, booted and spurred or clad in chiffon, shall be made any way except as it is made, and has been for all time! The swallow to her nest. the river to the sea and the heart of the woman to her child, ex- istent or non-existent.- .OYou cannot keep the needle from pointing to the pole, and no amount of good advice will make it point there irrevocably.- Scribner's.

PORK PRODUCTION ON FARM
Iccess With Hogs, as We'll as Other Agricultural Products, Depends
 on Judgment.

Hogs by nature are designed es- pecially for the construction of con centrated feeds, such as grain. Of late years, more roughage in the form of pasture has been utilized. This. however, is only one of several inn portant factors. The hog must have the principal part to do with the mar keting of the concentrated food-stuffs and by-products, such as milk and wastes from the farm. Where milk is produced fin large quantities, hogs are almost essential, except in un- usual conditions. Where much corn is grown, hogs fit in well; in fact, the hog is valuable adjunct in the dis position of all the grains and waste by-products. However, 1t must be re- membered that hogs grown in large numbers are not approximately so profitable as when smaller number are grown. Many people have made the mistake of getting over-enthusias- tic as to the profits to be realized in pork production, and have attempted far more than they could efficiently manage; with the result that prospec- tive profits were absorbed in expenses and losses. Here. as elsewhere, sue cess depends on good judgment.

Pride of Opinion.

Pride of opinion is perhaps the most eommcn fault of us fairly educated and intelligent moderns. We form our Judgments and then, as it were, defy anyone to change them. It is said that no. one has ever been converted by abstract argument.
 At the time of the great disaster in Martinique. the Italian bark Orsolina was taking on cargo of sugar there. Her captain was accustomed to vol canoes and he did not like the appear Rnce of Mont Pelce. Not half his cargo was on board, but he decided to sail for home.
 The volcano is all right" argued the shippers. Finish your loading"
 ''I don't know anything about Mont Pelea." said the captain. "but if We suvius looked that way I'd get out of Naples. and I'm going to get right out of here"
 The shippers threatened him with arrest. They sent customs officers to detain him. but the captain persisted in leaving Twenty-four hours later the shippers and the customs officers lay dead in the ruins of St. Pierre Kate Upson Clark, in the Christian Herald.
