STRATTON MAYiASK
REGISTRATION OF +.
DOUBLE DEALERS
LIKELY TO REMOVE APPOINT
EES WHO QUALIFIED ON
BOGUS BOARD.
Action of DibreII-TayIor Board in
Following Memphian's Appoint
ments Threatens to Result in
General Shake-Up.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 1S.-lt is
expected that Stratton appointees on
county election boards in many coun
ties of Tennessee will be asked to re-
sign as the result of the action Of the
Dibrell-Taylor trump" board in nam
ing on trump" county boards the
same men who were appointed on
county boards by L. M. Stratton, sec
rotary of the bona fde State election
board Mr.. Stratton said Thursday
that he had the matter under advise
ment, and would probably demand
the resignation of every member of a
county board of his appointment who
has accepted appointment also on
the trump" board.
With the exception of a few coun-
ties in the State, in which are To-
Gated the larger cities, the Di5rell-
Taylor board has consistently follow
ed Mr.. Stratton's appointments, nam
ing the same men as he did in fully
80 per cent Of the counties. Many
men appointed on the trump" boards
have declined to accept the appoint
ments, but there are quite a num-
Der of others who have qualified on
both boards, presumably on the the
DRY that whatever way the legal
fight involving the validity of the
trump" board should terminate they
would still be on the winning side
The fact that no effort is being
made by any of the "rump' boards to
serve, makes it possible for those
who have received appointment on
both boards to qualify pending a final
settlement of the controversy in the
courts. This plan, however, does not
appeal to members of the State board
and in consequence it is regarded as
probable that a big shakeup is immi-
nent. Judge S. M. Young, chairman
of the bona fide State board, is
strongly opposed to allowing appoint
ees to "straddle the fence" and has
advised Secretary Stratton to replace
them with men who are unwilling to
recognize the trump" board at ALL

NEW MACHINERY IS
INSTALLED At THE
MAURY LAUNDRY
MANAGEMENT PUTS IN LARGE
FAN TO DAW HOT AIR FROM
THE BUILDING.
Few People Appreciate the Large
Amount of Money Invested in the
Laundry Business of Country-Man-
ager Voss Going to st. Paul.

One of the big industries of Co.
lumbia is the Maury Laundry 1t
employs an average of twenty per-
sons and the weekly pay roll 10 a
considerable item in the industrial
and commercial life of the city. It's
advancement and progress during the
jpast half dozen years has been nota-
| BILE. The weekly pay roll is now
largely more than the monthly pay
roll amounted to six years ago, and
the equipment is worth many times
WHIT it was then. In fact no institu-
ton has striven harder to keep
abreast of the times than this con-
Germ.
General Manager Voss is today in
stating a large revolving suction fan
which will take the hot air from the
building and will vastly improve it's
temperature. This will make the
place much more habitable for the
employees in the hot weather and will
also make it much more sanitary.
In fact every consideration possible
is given to the sanitation of the build
ing, all Of the improved methods be-
ing used
Only recently the management has
installed new machinery for the iron
ing Of collars and cuffs which pre-
vent the breaking of those parts of
the garments which has long been
one of the complaints against the
steam laundry. Another machine of
great value for the pressing and
cleaning of clothes by the steam pro-
cess has also been installed
Few people have any idea of the
magnitude of the American laundry
business. More than $2OO,OOO,OOO of
good money is invested in the laun-
dries of this country and the people
pay to these great washing estab-
lishments every week the enormous
total of 100000 and yet there is
probably as little interest manifested
in the character, construction and
equipment of the laundry as in any
institution that touches the life Of
but few people. Manager Voss in
vites the people to visit and inspect |
his laundry and watch the work that |
is done
Mr.. Voss expects to leave tomor-
row for ST. Paul, Mimi, to attend the
meeting of the National Laundry
mems Association, an organization
that is for the purpose of improving
the laundries and bringing about bet
ter sanitary conditions in the wash
rooms. This organization supported
a bill in the recent legislature that
would have insured sanitary laun.

ANOTHER RAID BY
POLICE OFFICERS At
FRED HOODS PLACE
FORCE AND CITY MAR
Shall MORGAN MAKE
THE SEARCH.
Trial Is Expected to Be Continued
Until This Can Be Done, and the
Analysis to Be Made an Exhibit in
the Same.

Officers again raided the place of
Fred Hood at the Owl Hotel Near
the depot about o'clock Friday af-
ternoon.
The officers making the raid were
Marshal Morgan and the members Of
the police force. A diligent search
of the place was made and they were
rewarded with the finding Of three
cases of goods labeled beerette, and
few empty bottles in boxes, all of
which was taken to the city hall to
await the result of the trial which is
set for a later date
1t is the purpose of the defendant
if possible to have the liquid analyz-
ed and the analysis to be put up as
an exhibit when the trial comes up.
The defendant claims that the goods
taken by the officers is within the
limits of the law, as the per cent of
alcohol contained is not intoxicating.
There is no specified per cent of
alcohol allowed by the statutes, but
the Supreme Court has held that two
per cent is not Intoxicating, and on
this decision the natural inference
would follow that above that amount
would be considered intoxicating.

TAFT RECEIVES
CHEERING MESSAGE
CITIZENS OF NEW MEXICO WIRE
HIM THANKS FOR ACTION ON
STATEHOOD BILL.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Whne
hundreds of messages were received
at the White House today, praising
President Taft for his veto message
aimed at the recall of judges In the
Arizona constitution, there was one
that was most unexpected. 1t was a
telegram from half a dozen citizens
of New Mexico. which is kept out of
the Union, as well as Arizona, by the
veto.
The majority of the Republican
party as we'll as the majority of the
people Of this territory" read the tel

hearty congratulations on your mes
sage vetoing the Flood resolution.
We prefer a delay of another year, IL
necessary, rather than indorse the
recall Of the judiciary in Arizona"

CONDUCTS HIS
LAST SERVICE
BISHOP COLLINS DENNY TO GO
TO RICHMOND FOR HIS
HOME SOON.

NASHVILLE. Aug. 17.-Bishop Col
Inns Denny conducted the prayer SER
vice at the West End Methodist
church Wednesday night. This was
his last service before he moves to
Richmond, Va, and a large crowd was
out to hear him. He said in part:
Every one some time in life feels
the need Of help. We have felt that
we were in darkness; we have felt that
we were in danger. David said, The
Lord is my light That is a wonder
full statement. Did you ever have
and difficulties in life Did you over
feel that YOU needed to go with your
troubles to some one else?
People say that you can't rear
children now the way that you and
l were reared They say that the
trend is different now. But wasn't
it the same in Rome? Wasn't it the
same in Alexandria? Don't you know
that you and I couldn't be thrown out
and surrounded by temptations and
be safe? And do you think that
your children would be safe in such
conditions?
"You ask me: You don't object to
a little friendly game of cards at
home" My friends, is there any
good in it? No wonder things have
come to such q pass, when the stand.
ard people have is: Is there any
harm in this?' instead of Is there any
good in this -
After the service an informal gath.

him farewell handshakes.

HISTORIC OLD HELM
PLACE SOUTH MAIN
STREET TORN DOWN
TO BE REPLACED BY NEW BRICK
FOR A RETAIL GRO
Gerry.
Was the Only Building in the Block
When Mr.. Lazarus Came Here
Thirty-Six Years Ago-The Birth
Place of Congressman Padgett.

The old residence at the Southeast
corner of Tenth and South Main
streets, known as the Merritt Helm
place, is being torn down by Laza-
rus Bros. preparatory to the erection
OF new brick to be used as a retail
grocery. The new building is to be
40x5O feet, one story and 1t II sx-
pected to have it ready for occupancy
by Ocober l, and John w. Sharber
will conduct retail grocery business
there.
The old building carries with it
much that is of interest in connec-
ton with the history of Columbia.
Jonathan Digger, who is now eighty
four years of age, says it was an old
building when he came here a mere
strip of boy, and for a number of
years it was or the corporation line
the limits Of the city, and many are
the stories told of how THUS" Cook
who was marshal Of the town during
the time, ran the negroes out of the
town limits by that corner in slav-
cry days when they came to town
without a passport from their mas
tiers.
1t was in this building that the
present Congressman from this dis
trict, Hon. l.. P. Padgett, first saw
the light of day on Nov %, 1856, his
father and mother having lived there
with a brother of his mother for
some time after their marriage. His
mother was a Phillips and he bears
her name, his second name being
Phillips.
There is also mucn of other his
toric interest in connection with this
old residence. 1t was owned so long
by Merritt Helm that it became
known as the Helm place, and it was
while he lived here that Mr.. Helm
built the brick Immediately on the
opposite corner, and which is now be-
ing used as a stable, and presented it
to the Christian church, an old date
stone being SCI in the work dating
back into the 40s.
Maj, Bowen, who was a graduate
Of West Point, and one of, the best
known characters in his day, was
married in the house, wearing his
military uniform.
1t has been the property Of the ia
Their of Lazarus Bros for a number |
of years, and has been the property |
of the present owners for about three
years. and it is their purpose to put |
up a first-class building on the lot
4 remarkable thing in connection |
with the tearing away of the build |
ing is the remarkable soundness of /
the timbers, and Mr.. Lazarus says |
there is some of the finest poplar
lumber there he has ever seen any
where.
