J. Trim Mcknight, the young Col

nominal race in Saturdays primary
was Monday declared the Democratic
nominee for the office of County Judge
of Maury County Mr.. Mcknight was
declared the nominee by the Demo
cratic Executive Committee, after
Judge w. o. Gordon, who ran second
in the race, mad addressed the COM
mittee and asked that Mr.. Mcknight
be given the field to himself.
Judge Gordon spoke briefly but to
the point He stated that Mr.. Nc
knight had received a plurality of the
vote cast, and that under the circum-
stances he was entitled to the honor
of being the Democratic nominee. He
generously waived aside his claims to
participate in the run-off and pledged
his support to Mr. Mcknight. His
action was not wholly a surprise, as it
had been the general impression that
he would give way to Mr.. Mcknight.
This reduces the run-off to three
contests, that for register, sheriff and
trustee.

Notwithstanding the fact that all
records for mule sales were broken
during January there was a big bunch
of mules on the square today, the total
number being estimated at seven
hundred by stockmen
The mules began coming in Sunday
afternoon, and there were two or
three hundred here when day dawned
From that hour until eleven o'clock
they came in by every pike, and the
square was crowded and many of the
side streets in use by noon.
Perhaps half the mules here were
big mules-Sugar mules as they are
called by the buyers, and some of
them sold at unusually high prices.
All the farmers held their stock at
stiff quotations, and the big number
that changed hands left their owners
with good bank accounts to their
credit.
There was the usual number of for
eign and local buyers on hand, and
several hundred mules were bought
and sold.

UNIQUE EXTORTl0N
OF A WOMAN
MAKES SUlToRS FOR HER HAND
FORK OVER GooDLY SUM OF
MONEY.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The name
of Alice Peterson, Johnstown, Pa, has
been placed under the ban of the post
office department by issuance of a
fraud order today by the postmaster
general. This individual advertised in
various publications for a husband.
When a reply was received from a
man he was usually asked to send
sums of money to defray travelling ex-
penses to the home of the gentleman
which she would marry Several COM
plants were made to the department
against the conduct of the woman, but
for some time the complainants re-
fused to allow their names to be used
to push their claims, and for that rea-
son she continued to do business
longer than she ordinarily would.
A man at Maybury, Pa, sent Alice
Peterson $3.50 to pay her car fare
from Johnstown to Maybury, Pa, with
the understanding that they would be
married upon her arrival; the woman
did not go to Maybury nor offer any ex-
PLANTATION for her failure to do so, but
appropriated the money

bought whiskey at various places. The
evidence, he says, was submitted to
the grand jury but that body had per.
sistently refused to indiet. He criti.
cised the situation in Nashville as a
disgrace to the entire citizenship as
well as to the officers of the Court
charged with the enforcement of the
laws and Judge Hart replying said
this was the first intimation he had
ever had that the grand jury was not
doing its duty and that he would
make a thorough investigation
Gen. McCarn charged that the fore
