The President. however. is keeping
the leaders in both parties in Congress
thoroughly acquainted with develop

cooperation exists between the Capitol

been eliminated from consideration OF
the subject. There is no disposition in
either branch of Congress to demand
of the President his reasons for send

of making an issue of the mobilization

visitors lavishly. Nashville and the
country Immediately surrounding are
rich in places of historic and scenic
interest, and opportunity will be af-
forded for visits to these places.
And, while the parcels post ques-
ton is paramount, it is certain that
other matters of great importance
will be considered. The convention
will no doubt take some active steps
to remedy conditions existing in the
express business. The fact that the
express companies oppose a general
parcels post bill and that the conven-
tion of southern merchants will take
the form of opposition to the same
measure does not mean at all that
there is any kind of cooperation be-
tween the convention and the express
companies. In matter of fact, they are
not working together at all. The ex-
press companies favor a limited par.
cells post law permitting the post of
flee to take charge of parcels only
after they have reached the local de-
livery center. The convention of
southern merchants will oppse this
kind of parcels post law, because it
would be nearly or quite as detri-
mental to merchants as could a law
permitting the post Office to take
Icharge of packages at the shipping
point.
The convention will be open to all
merchants who attend. 1t will not be
a delegate, but a mass convention, and
no sort of credentials will be neces-
|sary to entitle all merchants who at
tend to participate in the discussions
and the voting.

SELF PRESERVATION FIGHT
AGAINST MAIL ORDER HOUSES

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 9.-It's a fight
for self preservation, the retail dealer
in the country, the small town and the
city against the catalogue mail order
houses in the large cities of the north
and east, this movement which is to
culminate in the convention of South
ern Merchants in Nashville, February
28, March l, and 3, and the mer-
chants all over the south, whether
from large city or cross roads, thor
oughly understand it as such. The
unanimity and enthusiasm with which
they have gotten behind the movement
is astonishing.
1--WE think the parcels post bill is
measure gotten up in the interest of
the big department stores and will
work detriment not only to the small
Ter merchants of the country, but to
the consumer as we'll" That is the
way one of the largest retail houses
in Birmingham writes. At Arlington
KY, small town, all of the merchants
join in a letter in which they say, "All
of our mechants will do all they can to
protect their interests against parcels
post" These are fairly typical ex-
|pressions from hundreds that have
been received by President R. l.. Burch
and the executive committee within
the past week. The boards of trade,
chamber of commerce and the like
take exactly the same position. The
secretary of the Jackson, Tenn, Mer-
chants association writes, 1T is our
belief that all our merchants are
heartily in accord with the movement
on foot" and similar expressions have
been received from a number of other
trade organizations.
With the exceptional enthusiasm al
ready manifest, it appears certain that
the attendance will be larger than
was at first anticipated, and it will be
probably the most representative
gathering of merchants ever held in
the south.
Aside from devising means to pro-
tect their interests on the matter of
parcels post and gaining information
on a number of subjects of vital in
terest to merchants everywhere; the
meeting will be one of pleasure to the
merchants who attend. The business
men of Nashville will entertain the

SIX BANKS TO GET
DIVISION OF FUNDS
County Commissioners Turn Down
Proposition Made BY international
Bank & Trust Company.

BY combining the First National
bank and Vinita National bank of this
city, the two banks at Welch and two
banks at Centralia were able to bring
enough influence to bear on County
Commissioners Sims and Costly to de-
feat the proposition of the In4erna-
ton Bank e. Trust company for the
Idepositary of the county funds Com
missioner Chamberlin held out for ac-
cepting the proposition of the latter
bank which was to pay the county
three per cent OH daily balances and
to cash all warrants, except the large
contract warrants at par The bid of
the other six banks was to pay three
per cent on the daily balances and to
divide the funds among the six banks
in proportion to their capital stock
They do not agree to cash warrants at
par.
On the surface it looks as though
the tax payers had been handed a
pretty raw deal, simply to satisfy the
demands of the six banks. The prop
osition to cash the county warrants
at par would have proven big thing
for persons receiving county warrants
for jury service, furnishing supplies,
ETC., for it would have been a saving
to them of about ten per cent, the
amount of Shaving" county warrants
are usually subjected to- This ten
per cent is ultimately paid by the tax

this is the way the case appears to

OLDEST HORSE IN V|N|TA
SUCCOMBES TO INEVITABLE

Polly is dead This was the an
nouncement this morning of Chas.
Hartman, owner of the late Polly"
which was the oldest horse in Vinita.
For some months the aged mare had
been beyond the pale of usefulness,
and for some weeks had been in a
pasture east of town. Last night she
died at the estimated age of thirty
six years. Polly was the most familiar
pony in Vinita. For many years she
was driven about the city by Mrs.
Oborn and about ten years ago she
became the property of Mr.. Hartman
and until old age rendered her use
less she was driven by Mr.. Hartman's
family and had come to be known by
everyone on the streets as the oldest
mare in the world. Mr.. Hartman
says her age was thirty-six and there
are no grounds for dispute.
