HAS ANCIENT MUskET.

Perhaps the oldest gun in the
United States is that owned by
Alex. King Of Richmond, Va. Nine
ty-seven years ago this month Kings
grandfather purchased a fintlock
musket, which at that time was the
very latest model in small firearms.
Today the piece is in working order
and can be fred as accurately as it
could when purchased. The gun was
made in 1914, the same year II was
purchased by the elder king.

From COTTAGE TO PALACE
German Lad Restored by Court Decree
TO His Proper station ss
Count.

Count Josef Kwilecki, aged four
teen, who began life in a palace in
Berlin and continued it in a tumble
down cottage, has been restored to
the palace by the German imperial
appeals court, which decided that he
is the son Of the late Countess XVII
iecki and not the child Of a char
woman employed at a small railway
station.
Thus has been brought to an end
a cause celebre which has occupied
the attention of one court after an
other for ten long years.
The Countess Isabella was &C
cused of having passed off as her
own the child of an Austrian Polish
woman named Cecilia Meyer, in or
der to keep in her husbands family
an entailed estate worth $4,000 q
year.
At the instance of another branch
Of the family, who wanted to inherit
the estate, the charwoman, Meyer
claimed the child.
The first trial resulted in favor Of
the countess in the second, the char
woman won and now the court of APP
peal has reversed that judgment.
This means that whether the boy
be the son of the countess or of the
charwoman, he must legally be rec
ognized as the son of the count, il
view of the entry in the birth regis

WAS MORE FOR sPINSTERs
Amusing Experience Of Maiden
Lady Who Found She Had Been
churched In Rome.

A maiden lady, being in Rome,
went into one Of the churches, and
seeing other ladies attending a serv-
ice in one Of the chapels went and
knelt with them. The service over.
a woman came round to make col
lection. The lady gave a small coin,
but it did not appear to be suffi-
cient. The woman made some remark
in Italian, at the same time holding
up to fingers. Failing to make the
lady understand, she fetched a priest
who could speak English.
Pardon" he said, "the Signora
is perhaps not aware that the fee
is two francs"
''The fee?" she exclaimed.
Eyes, signora. The signora has
been churched and the fee Is two
francs"
"Churched, my good man." e1-
claimed the visitor in horror, "I'm
not married p
The good priest modestly cast
down his eyes. "In that case, signo-
ra, the fee is three francs"

GEORGIA BOASTS
All HOKE SMITHS

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 15.-There
will be no lack of Hoke Smiths in
Georgia for years to come if all the
babies named for the Governor and
Senator-elect thrive. In a little book
in which the record of Gov. Hoke
Smiths namesakes are kept, there
are now Ali Hoke Smiths in Georgia,
most of them named after the Cover
nor and Senator elect during the past
five years, but some of them christen-
ed way back in the '90s and grown
to young men. The book was brought
out for consultation Saturday morn
ing, when an immense watermelon
from Carroll county arrived at the eX-
ecutive office as a gift to the Cover
nor from Hoke and Smith Chappell,
husky four-year-old twins, between
whom the name had been divided.
Gov. Smith remembers the young
sters distinctly, having, made their
acquaintance while Governor. Hoke
Smith likes babies to be named for
him, and he sends them rep1em-
brances as their birthday anniversa-
ries roll around.

COUNTY DEMURS.
Point Raised That Court Is Without
Jurisdiction of the Questions
At Issue.

A demurrer to the above bill has
been filed by the county for the turn
pike commission and county Judge
and the point is made that the chan
Gerry court has no jurisdiction to act
in so far as the turnpike commission
and county judge are concerned, the
demurrer being:
THAT the county Judge and the
turnpike superintendent of Maury
county, have exclusive jurisdiction by
statute over the matters involved in
the suit, and that this honorable
court has no right to review, hinder
or interfere with, their actions IN the
premises, except in case of fraud or
wilful misconduct in the exercise Of
their official functions, and the bill
in this case fails to allege any fact
which shows any fraud or miscon-
duct on the part Of these defendants"

NASHVILLE DAY WILL:

ON THURSDAY SEPT. I
THE FAIR ASSOCIATION AND
BOARD OF TRADE INVITES
CAPITAL CITY.
PRIZE FOR AkCl CAR
Industrial Band Will Be Here on
That Day Through the Efforts of
Mr.. Dedman and the Fair Off
Gals.

The fair officials have made the an
Inouncement that Thursday, Sept. 7,

County Fair. President Joe Dedman,
Of the Board of Trade, and the fair
management have rendered the Board
Of Trade and the Automobile Club

tation has been accepted, and q big

For this day there will be spec
ial prize for automobilists, for the

tial and properly engraved. 1t is ex-
,pected that this will bring out an eX-

of something like half hundred mu-
sicians of experience and special tai
ent.

of exceeding merit and it will be in
addition to the First Regiment Mill
tary Band, which is to furnish music
for the fair. and aside from the au-
tomobile show and the extra numbers
that will be added to the program for
that day, this gives promise of mu-
steal treat in store for those who are
unsteady inclined or are attracted by
the concord Of sweet sounds

BELLANFANT REPLIES.
EmphaticaIIy Denies That He Has
Ever Excited People Against
the Turnpike Company.

A separate answer to the bill OF
complaint is filed by Squire w. E
Bellanfant who denies most emphat;
ically that he has ever melted any one
to move against the turnpike compa-
ny; that he knows but little about
the pike, that he lives between the
toll gate and Culleoka and therefore
would not pay more than a dollar a
year toll. He has noticed thai be-
tween his home and the depot that
the pike needed repairs. However,
since he has been made party to the
suit apparently for the sole purpose
of charging him with melting 9TH
ers to file petition against the COM
pany because of i'll will toward the
manager and one of the directors the
respondent confines himself in his an
sWer to the allegations which are
personal to him.
He admits that he is a justice of
the peace of the county but he en-
phatically denies that he has ever en-
tered into any conspiracy with any
party or parties for the purpose of
depriving the complainant company
of the right to take toll, he denies
that he institgated or conspired with
others to instigate the proceedings
complained of in the bill; denies that
he has been going about stirring up
the citizens OF the community against
the complainant or encouraging them
to institute proceedings for the pur-
pose of depriving the company Of its
toll.
The defendant admits that he has
been consulted by citizens who have
complained of the condition of the
pike; that he has always advised
them to pay the toll and obey the
law; that their legal remedy was to
apply to the county judge and through
him to the turnpike commission. He
says that he did not know who sign
ed the petitions that have been fled;
that he did net procure any one to
sign them and was not acquainted
with the condition of the pike except
as heretofore stated. He denies that
he has taken any action in the matter
on account Of i'll will toward the man.
ager or a director of the company.
Fleming & Fleming are solicitors
for all of the defendants except the
county Judge and commissioners who
are represented by w. c. Whitthorne,
county attorney.

first rose in their places, cheering
wildly and waving their hats. The
liberal members quickly emulated
their example. This exhibition OF en-
tbusiasm was reported few minutes
later as the prime minister quietly left
the scene of his victory in his initial
action against tic lords.
The debate yesterday maintained o
good oratorical level, but presented
few new points. The dominant note

men on.a matter that could never be
settled except by consent. The British
people, he said. would support the
opposition in any resistance, how.
over desperate, they might offer to the
bill.
The Right Hon. George Wyndham
also urged the government to accept
the invitation to settle the question by
agreement. Otherwise, be declared,
sooner or later the opposition would re.
peal the bill.
To these persuasions Winston
Spencer Churchill, the home secre-
tary, concluding the debate for the
government, replied that theEministers
would not have 50 supporters left if
they agreed to enter such conference
now. He contended, as compared
with the referendum, the governments
moderate proposals were the veriest
toryism and no step would be neglected
to carry the bill swiftly into law. The
government did not fear the referendum
as check on progressive legislation,
but regarded it as q vicious system,
especially unsuitable for the country,
and its adoption would lead to Jacob
inism, Caesarism and anarchy. :
At the close OF Mr.. Churchills speech
came little scene. He hail stated
that among the legislative proposals to
be submitted in addition TO home rule
would be a measure for creating fair
and evenly constituted second chamber.
A chorus OF shouts came from the
opposition members: "When?"
Mr.. Churchill was momentarily en-
barassed and sought refuge by declaring
that he could not reveal the govern
ment's intention in answer to chance
question.
