knight gave out the exact financial
condition of Maury county, in accord
ance with a motion passed at the Oc-
tober term Of court to have the coun-
ty judge submit such report. The

ty is $222,700 and the assets of the
county are 11i4,646.16. The total lin
bilities of the county, including the
outstanding Indebtedness, and the tax
levy for this year, is $326,160.08. The
amount which the county owes, over
what can be paid at once,is $212,160.-
08. The report continues that the
estimate for the runnin expenses of
the county is very likely too small.
Judge Mcknight continued, In the
report, that there is no occasion for
alarm at the condition of the finances
of the county, but asks that the court
be economical in making appropr1-
atoms. This report was called for by
the court at its October term, when
the question of the missing bridge
warrants was brought up. All of
these warrants except two were later
found, and these, 1t Is claimed, have
been paid by the county. There are
$12.600 worth of bridge warrants now
outstanding, and these have all been
renewed with the date of Jan. /, 1911,

complete registration of all the war
rants issued against it. The court
moved that the report be received.

Deputy Trustee w. Harris Puryear
and to Judge Mcknight for the troub-
le to which they had gone in making
up the report.

the year was called for, but the mat
ter was passed over to tie adjourned

LOCAL FARMERS Want
MORGAN TO ACCEPT
PLACE OFFERED HIM
URGE KNOXVILLE PROFESSOR
FOR COMMISSIONER OF Ao-
RlCULTURE.
WOULD have SALARY INCREASED
Gov. Hooper's Tender of Place TO d.
rector of Experiment Station IL a
Notable Departure in Tennessee.
Fitness Only Consideration. rs.


No appointment that Governox.
Hooper could possibly have madei:
would have been SO popular with the
farmers of Maury county as the selec-
ton of Prof. H. A. Morgan as commits
sioner Of agriculture and general and
deep regret Is expressed at the decli-
nation of Prof. Morgan to take the
place. 1t Is realized, however, that
the acceptance Of the position for two
years at two-thirds the salary that
Prof. Morgan Is now receiving for q
life job would have been a serious
sacrifice for him. Nevertheless the
farmers of this county who value and
appreciate the services and worth of
Prof. Morgan believe that the legisla-
ture should increase the salary to a
figure where man of his talent and
capacity could afford to. accept the job.
Prof. Morgan held short course in
agriculture here last fall, the most
successful of the kind ever held In
the State and he demonstrated his
capacity for the job then. Since that
time it has been the earnest wish OF
the farmers of Maury county that the
place of commissioner should be ten
dered to Prof. Morgan.
Gov. Hooper is being highly COM
mended on all sides for his patriot
ism and high conception Of duty In
departing from the established rule Of
making the department Of agriculture
q political asset of his administration.
His conduct in rendering the place to
Prof. Morgan who has no political pull
and whose sole recommendation Is his
eminent qualification for the job is
noteworthy event in the history OF
this State Under the administration
of commissioner like Mr.. Morgan
the department of agriculture in Ten
nessee would rank with the best In
the nation. Several prominent citi-
Gems here have telegraphed or written
Prof. Morgan urging him to reconsid-
err and accept the place, pledging him
that If he will do so determined ef-
fort will be made to secure an in
crease in salary paid to the commits
sioner.

CONGRESSMAN AND
SENATORS WORRIED.
BY EXTRA SESSION
NATIONAL SoLoNS NOT SURE
THAT REST WILL COME AZ
TER MARCH 4.
Mccall Bill, Carrying Taft's Canadian
Trade Plans is Ready for the House
Today-Democrats Pledged to the
Reciprocity Agreement.

WASHINGTON Feb. 13.-Members
Of Congress would give much to know
whether they are to be permitted to
break ranks on March 4 and retire to
their homes for the summer or wheth-
er they must linger in Washington
for an indefinite period to act upon
the Canadian reciprocity agreement
In extra session. Something positive
on the subject from the White House
would be especially acceptable.
There is some foundation for the re-
port that President Taft Is viewing
with entire complacency the solicit
tude of members of the Senate on the
subject of an extra session. Several
Senators who feel that there is no
chance for the approval of the agree
ment at the present session have
found that this view is not shared at
the White House. The President has
met all pessimistic predictions with
the suggestion that he is willing to
trust the agreement to vote. He has
never said, for publication, that he
would call an extra session If such
vote was denied, but Senators certain
ly have failed to obtain assurances
that he would not do 80.
The Mccall bill to carry out the pro-
visions Of the Canadian agreement
having been reported to the House
from the ways and means committee,
probably will be brough t up today.
Immediate consideration will be ask
ed. If any agreement to, that end Is
opposed, the supporters of the bill will
seek rule for limitation of debate
and inhibition of amendment
In view of Republican domination
on the committee on rules, which is
headed by Representative Dalzell, of
Pennsylvania, who as a member Of
the ways and means committee, voted
against reporting the bill, it may not
be possible to get such rule. At
the same time there has been mani
tested thus far no organized move
ment to the prevention of a vote in
the House. The consideration of the
bill, nevertheless, probably will re-
suit in one of the livliest debates of
the session.
The Democrats of the House are
pledged to the reciprocity agreement
under the recent caucus action, al
though a handful of the minority will
oppose the measure, being exempted
under the caucus rule which relieves
members from being bound by the
will of the party majority when such
action brings them into conflict with
the expressed will of their constitu-
ents. A conference Of Democratic
Senators has been called for Tuesday,
but is is expected that an adjourn
ment will be taken until the House
has acted upon the proposed agree
ment Several Democratic Senators
feel that they should not define their
attitude upon the measure until they
learn in what form it will be present
ed to them.

Muscatine, Oct, 3.-With crowds sur
rounding the important plants, and
with the largest police force ever as
sembled In the city, on duty, Musca-
tines second labor conflict opened yes
terday morning. The unionist force
stands firm, while on the other hand
the manufacturers will exert every eff
fort to attract their old workers hack
to the plants. With the issue clear
cut one, both factions are now ready
for the fight the result of which will
be decisive. The plant managers Of
several Of the local institutions report
that the working force is sufficient to
enable them to operate advantageous
ly, while the union leaders state that
they have mo fear that their men will
prove disl0yal to the organization, and
believe that no material increases Of
the working forces at the various
plants wiE result.
The forces are centralized on the
Automatic plant. where the greatest
number Of .non-unionists are employed
The management Of the Automatic
plant announced yesterday that eighty
people were working at that factory
and expressed the belief that the work.
ing force would increase gradually.
The Mckee and Bliven factory has a
considerable number OF workers. that
plant having been operated for several
weeks. The Vienna. the Leo H. Hirsch
