INDEPENDENT VOTE
OUT OF PRIMARY
OLD GUARD OF MAURY'S DEMOC
RACY STOOD LIKE A STONE
WALL THURSDAY.

With very few exceptions the lines
of the independents were not broken
in Maury county on Thursday. A
few voted because of their friend
ship for candidates in the race or
good feeling toward the local mana
gers, but most of these did SO with
the understanding that if McMillin
was nominated they would support
Hooper.
Thomas B. Forgey, one of the most
astute politicians of the county, and
who assisted in the management of
the Tyne campaign, early saw what
was coming. He saw the old line up,
the determination of the machine to
stick by McMillin and the liquor DOM
ination crowd and he quietly sidestep-
ped He did not vote in the prima-
ry and is therefore free to tax such
course in the future as his judgment
and conscience may dictate. James
w. Thomas, another independent
who helped to direct the fortunes of
Preston and to whose untiring energy
is due much credit for the Preston
vote in the county, also sidestepped
the primary. There were number
of others in the county who did the
same thing. Unquestionably Preston
would have been 500 votes stronger
in this county as the nominee than
McMillin. Had Preston won he would
have received a large independent
vote in the county that will never go
to McMillin.

DROUTH .lNJUR|NG :.
CORN CROP IN ALL
PARTS OF COUNTY
NEED OF RAIN Is SHOWN BY
THE TWISTING STALKS IN
FIELDS.
POTATO PLANTING ALMOST over
Rotting Seed Is Reported From Some
o.
Sections-Cotton Fields Are Clean
and Plant Is Growing and Looks
Healthy-Threshing Over.

Corn is hurting and hurting badly
in Maury county for lack of rain. 1t
has been nearly three weeks now
since there was any general rain in
the county and with the grounds
packed hard as rock by the previ-
Gus heavy rains and much of the corn
imperfectly worked due to the unsea-
sonable weather the crop is feeling
the effects of the drouth very much
in all sections except where there
have been loca, showers.
In some parts of the county the
drouth has been in a masure reliev-
ed by showers, but these have been of
short duration and. have not saturat-
ed the ground to any extent. From a
great many places comes the report
that the corn is twisting because of
the long continued dry spell. Until
a week ago the prospects for the
corn crop of the county had seldom
been more flattering but in the past
seven days there has been a decided
deterioration.
Planting of the second crop or
Irish potatoes is practically complete
in many sections of the county. The
weather has been favorable to the
preparation of the land and the dry
cool nights have also been conducive
to the proper sprouting of the seed.
In some sections where the seed were
planted while the land was heavy and
wet comes the report of seed rotting,
but on the whole it is stated that the
indications are good or fine stand,
Haymaking is practically finished
In the county and the same Is true
of threshing. Contrary to expectations
the wheat crop has not been greatly
damaged by the long continued rains,
and where farmers separated the
damaged bundles from the other good
samples of wheat were secured. The
oats were all damaged and practical
ly no bright oats are to be found on
the markets.
Most of the hay crop was ovcrripe
when cut, due to the fact that there
was so much rain at the time for the
harvest. Sorghum needs rain. The
peas and beans are looking we'll and
prospects are fine for a good supply
of provender. The dry weather has
enabled cotton fields to be cleaned,
and the plant is growing and looks
healthy.

BUT TERM OF JUSTICES WILL
COMMENCE ON FIRST OF

Unless called together sooner in ex-
traordinary session by the judge of
the county court, there will be no
meeting of the new court of Maury
county until the second Monday of
October. At that time the new court
will enter upon its career of six
years. There will eight new faces
In the court, leaving large majority
of experienced legislators in the
body.
There will be little interest in the
proceedings of the body at the first
meeting, but in January there are a
number of elections that will focus
attention on the court. OF prime i'm
portance in the elections is that for
county superintendent Of public in
struction. For this Office it is not be-
lieved that John P. Graham, the eff
cient incumbent. will have any oppo.
sition. A majority of the court Lave
repeatedly voted for and endorsed
Mr.. Graham They approve his rec
ord and it is not believed that he will
have an opponent.
Then there will be the election for
member of the county work house
commission for a successor to Clay
Hight Mr. Hight was elected in Ju-
ly to fill out the unexpired term of
]. T. Petty, who but recently re-
signed.
County Attorney Whitthornes term
also expires in January.
SO large proportion of the mem
bers of the old court were re elect
ed that it is not expected that there
will be any material changes in the
general policies of the court which
has been generally progressive dur
ing the past six years.
Although they will not meet to-
gether in quarterly session until the
October the terms of the new justices
will commence on the first day of
September, Their elections will be
certified by the county election COM
missioners on next Monday and they

MAURY'S PART N
BULL MOUSE MOVE
THROUGHPUT STATE
DIVIDED ON THE
PROPOSITION OF CADIDATE
FOR GOVERNOR.
The PLATFORM DECLARATIONS
DR.. Shaddan, Of This City, Tipped for
Candidate for Congress and a full
Legislative Ticket May Be Nomr-
mated at Early Date.

The Roosevelt followers are in
Nashville today and the delegation
from this county are VIM. Barker,
w. K. Sheddan j. S. Shapiro, S. E.
Calendar, Thomas Taylor and Fer
haps others.
The platform will declare for To-
cal option, woman's suffrage, a levis.
ion Of the election and tax laws, for
Roosevelt for president and the
placing of the convicts on the public
roads. 1t will also wink at the re-
turn of the saloons to the state, and
more particularly to the larger Cit
les.
The local delegation will be some
force in the meeting. DR.. W. X. She'd
dan will most certainly be put on the
platform committee on account of his
ability to handle the English Ian
guage, and Barker and Calender are
tipped to go to Chicago as delegates
to the national convention, with al
ternates from Giles and Lawrence
counties.
The fight in convention will BE- on
the question Of nominating state
ticket headed by candidate for gov
ernor. It is reported that Oliver and
Lindsay, of East Tennessee are OPP
posed to any opposition to Hooper
This will cripple the fight in what is
conceded to be the strongest portion
of the state for Roosevelt and will
throw a damper over the enthusiasm
of that element of the new party in
the, state that is actuated solely by
the hope to defeat the present sover
nor.
The republican element of the
Maury delegation will be divided on
that point, with DR.. Shadden leading
in favor of nominee for governor
It is freely talked, and not denied
by DR.. Shadden, that he will be the
nominee and an aspirant for con-
gress in this district. thus placing
three candidates in the field for con-
gress.
The organization at Nashville will
also declare for a legislative ticket
in every district in the state where it
is thought such candidacy will have
any effect on the general result.

STILL EXPLAINING
HOW IT HAPPENED
HOW THE AGREED TICKET LOST
AND REGULARS WON THEIR
STATE DELEGATION.

That people who think they have
been deceived will talk back and
strike back when the opportunity oc-
ours" is being evidenced by the fact
that some of those who were instru-
mental in pltting over the straight
delegation ticket to Nashville as
against the agreed ticket in the demo
cratic primary Thursday, are still ex-
planning how it happened. One of
the eliminated" said this morning.
There is no necessity for all this
explanation we know how it hap
pened, and can assure them that it
will not occur again. They gained
nothing by their conduct, for they had
a sufficient majority to control in any
question that might have arisen. In
fact they appear to be harmonized
only SO far as obtaining votes Is
concerned"

Hon. Walter. S. Faulkner, late candi-
date for the gubernatorial nominal
ton, today addressed an open letter
to Hon. Benton McMillin. He con-
graduated the ex-governor on his
nomination, says he feels no sore
ness and hopes for democratic sue
cess.
He adds: while do not pre-
sumo to stand as speaker for those
who took no part in the primary,
many of the ideas they entertain
have been by me expressed. The re-
suit of the November election de-
ponds upon the action of these SO 600
or more voters who have not as yet
committed themselves. | do not
mean to include in these democracy's
forelorn hopes, but that the honest,
thinking class of Independent voters
without whose aid we cannot win,
much depends upon the platform we
adopt" He then asks that the plat
form declare for law enforcement,
correction of back tax abuses and
other things he advocated in his prf-
mary campaign.
He concluded: In one of yester-
days dailies you were cartooned as

progressive and more demanding and the public looks
more to the skilled and experienced for protection
The state of Kansas before approving the organi-
cation of bank puts the proposed officials through
strict examination for the pur osc OF deciding whether
they are qualified handle the money OF depositors

FAVORABLE SHOWING MADE
BY NORTH SIDE PROPERTY
Excellent Assays Have Been Obtained
From Samples Of Blaine 4
Emmett Ore.
Occur d'Alene Sum-

The Blaine & Emmett company are
the owners OF group of five claims
located about four miles from Vitae
station on the Murray branch of the
O.-W. r. & N. railroad. which have
been quite thoroughly prospected on
the surface by open cuts aAd shallow
tunnels and with the most encourage
Ing and promising results.
The ores in the Blaine & Emmett
lodges carries values in gold, silver,
copper and lead, and some excellent
assays have been obtained. Rock
near the surface has shown asasy
values as high as $40 in gold to the
ton. While that is exceptionally high
in gold values, probably, 1t shows that
this metal Is present In appreciable
quantities to add materially to the pro-
duct of this property
The claims are crossed by two par
allel lodges Of large size, both Of which
are strongly mineralized and show
much ore at even shallow depth. The
iron Gaping, the character of the for
nation and the large, well defined
leads, and the ore found at shallow
depth, indicates as certain as anything
can do that with depth ore bodies OF
great commercial values will be found
The mining man who with the promise
given would not be willing to expend a
sufficient amount Of money to prove
those leads has no call to be in the
business.
At the present time a crosscut tunne
is being driven to cut the ledge al
depth. 1t is estimated the ledge viii
be reached in about 100 feet, possibly
little more. The ledge will then be
drifted on and depth gained very rap
idly, and commercial ore is likely t
be encountered at any time after drift
| ing is begun.
| The claims of the company are wei
timbered with valuable mining limb
err and water In abundance is at hand
These are important considerations. II
addition to these advantages the loca
ton is near the railroad and when ;
sufficient tonnage has been developed
to warrant, no difficulty will be had II
running a spur to the property.

BELIEVES BOOM Is DUE.
(Mining & Scientific Press.)

| mining & Scientific Press.)
The lead market Is one Of the most
interesting in the list of metals just at
the moment. Pig lead is selling at
about cents per pound at st Louis;
Notwithstanding the duty of IL cents
per pound, pig lead is selling here and
abroad at about the same price. If
foreign quotations are based on funda-
mental conditions, further rise In
lead prices. may soon be expected. as
the price abroad would be equal to
about 6.35 cents here. There are sew
'eral elements that go to the making OF
increased activity in the lead market
One of its principal uses is In paint
and while the high price Of linseed oil
has been an adverse factor for the past
two or three years, present indications
are that there will be bountiful cror
of flaxseed, which will make oil paints
relatively cheaper; at the same time
lumber has advanced so greatly In
price that its preservation by means
of paint becomes much more neces-
sary, making a larger increased con-
sumption of lead. Evidently lead pro-
ducers are about to experience a boom
and mining districts, such as Joplin
Baxter Springs, and the lead produc-
ing regions of Oklahoma, may look tc
see much better market for mining
properties.
