SCHOOL BUILDING

CAUSE OF BLAZE A MYSTERY

Was Consumation of Plan for Con-
solicitation of the Schools at VIII
lamsport and sawdust Valley.

Woodrow, the handsome new school
house erected recently by the county
board of education between Sawdust
Valley and Williamsport, was COM
pletely destroyed by fire Wednesday
night. The origin of the fire is a
mystery as the building had not been
used, so far as known, from the time
that school was dismissed on Friday
evening last.
The building cost, when finished,
approximately $4,000 and was one of
the most commodious, convenient and
attractive country school houses in
the state. It's loss is a severe blow
to the people of that community who
justly took great deal of pride in
the building. This school was the a.
nal consumation of a campaign of
years carried on by Superintendent
Graham and Chairman Hatcher of the
board of education for the consoiida.
ton of the schools at Sawdust Valley
and Williamsport. At first there was
a great deal of opposition manifest
ed by the people of those sections to
the proposed consolidation and four
years ago, the question being submit
ted to vote, was rejected Nothing
daunted, however, the school officers
continued the work with the result
that finally consolidation was
brought about, very materially i'm
proving the school facilities for the
children and patrons of that section
The school was named for the Pres
ient-elect of the United States, and is
probably the first school in Tennessee
to be so named 1t is practically Ger
tain that the hoard will take steps al
once for the erection of another build
ing. There was $1,000 insurance on
the building and this will be the nuc
leus of a fund that will probably erect
handsomer building than the one
just destroyed.

he could give no details Of the torri-

enness. The negro was taken into
an ante-room shortly after dinner and
was closely cross-questioned Stub

the crime until suddenly confronted
with the bloody saw with which he
did his heinous work, when he bfoke
down and admitted that he was the
man.
The officers were confined with the
black about an hour before he gave
any sign of weakening. He declared
that he was drunk at the time an re

what took place when he found Mrs

When shown the yellow package
which Mrs Laws had described to the
police, Ray stated that he had the
package in his pocket when he com

Special care has been taken at tn,

In the Standard Oil crowd. He has
been printing reproductions of the

writers, and signed with a pen, and
appeared to be the real thing. Col
lier's weekly has had experts examine
these reproductions of the typewritten
letters, and they show that the let
ters are forgerles. The originals of
the reproductions were written on An
L. & @. Smith machine, and they
were dated in 1898, 1900, and 1904
The president Of the Typewriter COM

The Stafford people wanted to have
the county seat of Graham county
moved from Solomonville to Stafford.
The law requires a petition with a
certain proportion Of the tax payers
signing It, who shall represent a GER
tain proportion OF the taxable proper
ty Of the county, to be presented to
the board Of supervisors, who may
then order an election to decide the
question Of the removal. The Stafford
people prepared the petition, with
ample taxable wealth on 1t, and went
before the board with every expec-
tation to have 1t granted. They did
not take into consideration that In
Solomonville dwelt as shrewd a bunch
of politicians as can be found in the
state, men who had had plenty Of
practise for many years, keeping the
Clifton country from being chopped
of, and knew all the inside points.
They got at the petition, showed the
board that voters had signed IL who
were not taxpayers, that taxpayers
had signed IL who were not voters,
that corporations had signed 1t, who
had no vote, and various other OBJ
jectlons. When they got through
with the petition IL is said there was
not enough property remaining ON It

much progress. His rejection Of a

him many republican votes. In fact

has been formed within the dem.
ocratic party In El Paso the finest
ring known in the west. A school
teacher cannot be hired, a man can
not get a job Of shoveling sand on the
streets, and IL Is claimed by some
that the justice Of the peace cannot
set a vag 10 work on the rock pile,
without the approval Of the head OF
the ring. This fall, ever since the
primary, the FMS and the outs have
been lighting in the courts regarding
the result OF the primary. The worst
result noted is IN California, where
they have all kinds Of new tangled
laws, including the primary election.
While every one wants to vote for a
candidate for president, as an actual
fact no one votes for president cleo
tion day. He votes for presidential
electors, and the presidential electors
vote for the choice of their party for
president. The presidential elector
is nomlnally an oficer Of the state
Practically his Office has never am-
ounted to anything, because he was
to register the choice OF his
party. In California, by some com
bination Of circumstances, the details
Of which are not plain to a man not
versed In the primary law Of that
state the men chosen as republican
electors proved TO be Roosevelt men,
and announced that II elected they
would vote for Roosevelt. The re-
publicans then attempted to put for
ward some Taft men as electors, but
there was a mixup, and the matter
was finally carried to the supreme
court of the state which decided
these men we're not chosen in com.
pliance with the primary law Of the
state, and could not go on the state
In that state they also have
the Australian ballot, printed by the
state, and no name a be printed on
that ballot unless selected In COM
pliance with the primary law, and no
other ticket can be voted. The result
that the voters Of California can
hot vote for Taft for president. A
.aw that can be so manipulated that

Ties Of the country cannot vote for
The choice Of their party for president
Is not a law that appeals to honest
