PARTY SPLITS WIDE
OPEN|NPERRY COUNTY
HARMONY CONVENTION
"HARMoNIZERs" WOULD NOT
RECOGNIZE THE REGULAR COM
MITTEE IN MAURY.
NOR CONDEMN ASSASSINATION
So Both Factions Decided to Go II
Alone and Two County Committees
Were Organized and Different Sets
Delegates Named to Convention

LINDEN, Tenn, Oct 4-As a result
of the alleged harmony convention
pulled off here yesterday, there are
two executive committees, two sets o.
/ delegates selected to attend senatorial
and fioterial conventions, if such are
hereafter called and the anti-adminis
tration Democrats refused to partici
pate in the selection of delegates to
the Nashville convention.
The call promulgated for the con.
vention today provided for the reor.
ganization of the county committee
and the selection of delegates to the
Senatorial and foterial conventions,
as well as to select delegates to the
Nashville convention. This coupling
of purposes was believed to be an ef
fort to force the anti-administratjon
forces to participate in the selection
of delegates to Nashville in order to
have a voice in the other matters, in
which all Democrats are interested.
1t was not the usual time for reorgan-
izing the county committee, but both
factions were well represented. At
ter the regulars (?) selected their del
egates, the alti-administratio forces
introduced d resolution first stating
that 1t must be understood that they

The thermometers (?) attempted to cut

FIRST MONDAY HAS
BIG ! CROWD AND
MANY FINE MULES
SQUARE AND STREETS LINED
WITH BUYERS, SELLERS AND
SPECTATORS.
PRICES REMAIN VERY HIGH
Columbia Holding Her Own as Great
Market, and Usual Number Expect
ed to Be Sold Today-orads Said
to Be Average.

First Monday" opened clear, bright
and warm, and the usual crowd Of peo
! pie began to arrive early, and by sever
o'clock a large number of mules were
brought to the public square and offer
ed for sale. The prospective buyers
appeared promptly, and the mules
were given a careful inspection, and
their good and defective points given
due consideration. They are held at
high prices and have been for some
time, and there is no prospect Of
their selling at anything but sood
prices today. Those offering mules
for sale this morning held them at
from $3.50 to $27s each. Sales did not
start off rapidly as the buyers natural
ly wished TO get them at the best pos
sible figures and the owners were
also looking after their own interests.
The square on all sides was lined
with buyers and sellers, and mules of
various kinds, and the scene was q
buy and animated one. A number Of
refreshment stands Of different kinds
have been erected around the square,
mice, sweet lemonade" is sold, men
are retailing leaf tobacco from wag-
ons, popcorn, candy peanuts and SINH
lar merchandise is ottered, and the
sight is an interesting one.
The mule display, however, is what
people are interested in, and the spec
tators, buyers and owners, all combin-
ed make large crowd.
1t is somewhat difficult to get around
the square because of the crowds, and
The interest shown in the sale Of
mules.
The mules which are offered for sale
'ange in age from 21a years upward, :
md some Of them are very fine speci.
mems. It las been remarked that an
large number of horse mules
re offered The grade of mules 10
aid by some to be up to the average,
While others say 1t is hardly up to the
Usual standard, although there are
ONE very fine mules in the lot.
The streets leading to the square
lso contain large number of buy
RS, sellers and spectators and mules,
nd Columbia seems to be maintain
lg her position as the greatest mule {
larket of her size in the country.
1t was expected that many more
Jules would be brought in before the
lose OF the day, and that the number
ould be up to the average. 1t is said g
eople do not come to town as early /

ING HERE.
PATTERSON MEN IN CONTROL
Large Number Of Speeches Made.
Delegates Organize After convsn-

| NHA ~ mCShH9s
The Patterson Democrats met a
the court house at IL o'clock Monday
morning for the purpose of selecting
delegates to the convention which
meets at Nashville on the sixth tt
nominate a candidate for Governor
The convention was called to order
by John Burns, and on motion Maj
w. B. Gordon was made permanent
chairman, and w. s. williams, secre
tary.
On taking the chair Maj. Gorion
delivered an address which was loudly
applauded at frequent intervals.
On motion the following named
committee was named to select dele
gates to the State convention: -
T. B. Brown, John S. Brown, ]. B.
Granbery, X. W. Dobbins, w. ]. Tow
Ter, w. o. Gordon.
When the committee retired Capt
Russell was called on for an address,
and, like Major Gordon, was well re-
ceived, and his remarks were loudly
|applauded, and he aroused much en-
thusiasm.
w. J. Webster was also called on
and he made talk which was also
well received.
The Circuit Court room was crowd,
ed, and a number stood up, and con-
siderable interest was shown in the
proceedings.
The committee on delegation report
ed long list from all of the districts,
but practically all of the delegates
were original Patterson supporters al
though here and there some of the
supporters of the independent judi
ciary were included in the list and
some who are now ardent supporters
of Hooper and Enloe. Between $50
and 300 were appointed to attend the
Nashville convention.
1t was evident from the whole pro-
ceedings of the convention, its per-
sonnet, the speakers, the committees
and the tenor of the proceedings that
It was merely convention of the
Patterson faction of the county. The
so-called independently were conspic-
Ious by their absence from all part
n the proceedings. Here and there

hey are few and far between.
On motion all Democrats who could
lttend the State convention were ad-
led to the list of delegates as named

TOWN ELECTIONS WILL
TAKE PLACE TODAY
Local Attorney Tells How Ticket Can
Be Split in Voting for Seiectnen.

The so-called little town elections
will be held in Connecticut today, and
great many voters are looking for
ward to them with interest, largely be-
cause Of local issues.
These little elections have never
been regarded as indicating the senti
-saent affecting the more important sue
ceeding election in November. Local
factors predominant in nearly every
instance. The contests over town Off
GERS and the license question absorb
the attention and feelings of the voters.
The license issue seems less acute
than usual this year, and so far as
known votes VIII be taken in only 81
towns less number than usual. At
the same time where there is con-
test on between the vets and ''drys"
the contest is lively.
The Australian ballot will be used
for the first time and its newness and
intricacies will provide plenty of ex-
element of itself.
over this ballot much discussion has
arisen as to various situations which
might arise in voting.
The questions so much discussed as
to the meaning of the new ballot law
relate principally to the case in which
an alector can vote for two or more
candidates for the same office and de-
sires to split this vote. The difficulty
is caused says a local attorney. by the
the top of the ballot which, through
someone's blunder makes no reference
to this point and if followed in the case
above stated will mislead the voter.
The latter should ignore the instruc-
tons or absence of instructions, upon
this point. and follow the statute, which
is as follows:
TN case two or mora persons are to
be elected to fill the same office. any
e1ector may split such ballot by placing
a crossmark (X) in the voting space on
the left and before the names of such
candidates for whom he desires to cast
such ballot. such mark to be in addition
to the mark required to be placed with
in said circle"
Suppose A and B are the republican
candidates for selectmen and c and D
are the democratic candidates in a
town in which three selectmen are to
be elected. An elector who wishes to
vote for A and c win place q cross at
the left of ea ch of these names. In the
same way. if he desires to vote for r
and c. he will place q cross at the left
of each No other marks will be used
so far as the vote for selectmen is
concerned.

Hotel Contemplating Artesian Well

Another Concern Anxious

In view of the fact that the use Of
water for the elevator has been shut

ny mas under consideration the installa

the operation of the elevator from

Wdllcn Will in addition provide water
Tor all uses of the hotel.
Manager Henry B. Davenport is in
communication with the Caldwell com
pany OF Louisville, Ky. for the install
iatlon Of such a system, it being the
IDEA to have a large tank of suitable
size to meet the requirements placed on
top of the six story annex. and even
elevated above 1t if necessary, by which
sufficient pressure would be obtained
to operate the elevator for the five
stories of the main hotel. BY connect
ing with the present water pipes in
the Wauregan house, the supply for all
the other purposes, including drinking
water, would be secured, and thus
making the hotel independent of the
city supply.

hotel to a sufficient depth to secure an
adequate supply of pure water. A pump
will be installed to draugf1t the water
and get it to the tank above the annex.
The pump would be operated by steam,
electricity or compressed air, al three
of which are available at the hotel,
and would be kept in use continually
to supply the needs as a large amount
of water is used there daily. The cost
would not be very heavy, so that by
the saving on the water rates it could
be quickly made up. The initial cost
is practically the only one. as the cost
of operation would be Insignificant.
Because of the low state of the water
supply it is stated that another con-
Germ and large user of water is con-
siderins the moving of the plant out
side the center of the city where a
supply of water can be secured for
their own use. The business could be
carried on there while an office would
be maintained in the city.
The court of common council will
take action tonight OH the proposition
which the water board will submit for
the driving OF artesian wells and there
after speedy action is expected to get
them driven and secure what benefit is
possible therefrom

Auto Caused Bank to Cave In.

The need of broader roa 6s especially
on the main highway between Norwich
and New London, was demonstrated on
Thursday evening by an auto party
from Norwich. whose automobile in
turning out for the passage of another
auto at narrow place in the road be-
tween Gales Ferry and Allyns Point
caused the bank, which is several feet
high at this point. to give way under
the extra weight. narrowly escaping
a serious mshap. After about three
hours labor. with the assistance Of
residents OF the Point. the auto was
enabled to proceed. the women Of The
party having taken The S4a train for
their home
