SUPPOSED EFFORT
TO TAKE HIS LIFE
BY IRISH TAYLOR
FOUND IN SERIOUS CONDITION
AT LAMAR's STABLE AT
9 O'CLOCK.
ELECTRIC BATTERIES APPLIED
Thought to Have Taken Morphine
With Suicidal Intent, But Nothing
Positive known-pruggst Grew
Suspicious.

Irish Taylor is in the hands of the
physicians and being revived from is
lsupposed. to have been an attempt at
suicide this morning about s o'clock.
At . o'clock he was discovered in
an almost unconscious condition on
cot in the Office of Lamar's livery
stable at the depot, his eyes looking
rather CLASSY and his breath coming
lunnaturally. The alarm was gwen
and a doctor Immediately secured.
He was found to be in rather seri-
Gus condition, and had he been dis
covered a little later it is thought he
could not have been revived.
For some time Taylor has been I'M
der the influence of intoxicants, and
| it is said that he has been drinking
more freely since the late official cru
SADIE has been on, and last night he
was drinking heavily. This morning
| about o'clock he went into the West
drugstore at the depot and called for
rs cents worth of morphine. Mr..
West says that Taylor is accustomed
| to Duving this amount of the drug
from him, doing SO frequently, and
thought nothing of the purchase at
first, hut later noticed that he was
under the influence of intoxicants
and didn't give him as much as usual.
And when Taylor demanded a second
20 cents worth he refused to allow
him 70 have it. He left the store
and the next thing he heard was
when the alarm was given about the
condition he was in The amount of
morphine he got from the drugstore
was six grains. This is not consider
ed sufficient to endanger life, with no
other contributing drugs or condi.
tions.

COTTON FACTORY
DOING MUCH BETTER
THAN WAS EXPECTED
ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY ON
PAY ROLL AND MORE ARE
WANTED.
COTTAGES NOW ALL OCCUPIED
Orders Coming in Nicely and the Out
look for the Year Gives Every
Promise of Satisfactory Business,
and Optimism Seems Justified.

When the cotton factory resumed
work On the first of the year i. was
! anticipated that there would be no
/ trouble in placing the output and
working a good force OF employees,
out the success has been even greater
than was expected. The company
now has more than 100 hands on their
pay roll, and could work twenty-five
or thirty more if they could be Sc
cured.
At the time the factory re-opened
there was no trouble to get cottage
in the city, but now it is sometimes
a difficult matter to secure a desira-
Bile place. Every one OF the cottages
! belonging to the cotton mill compa-
ny, most of which had been vacant
from twelve to fifteen months, is now
occupied, with the exception of one,
and this lone one is spoken for and
will have tenant by the first OF the
month
Orders are coming in nicely, from
various sections, and the outlook for
b. the year is far better shan was ex-
pected at the beginning. And thus is
the optimism of the manager, Mr..
Embry, at the beginning of the oper-
atoms, INDICATED. There were just
thirty hands reported and put on duty
the first morning. Beginning the Sec
ond week the spinning was started,
and the third week the weaving be-
gan, each time the force being in
creased, until at present more than
four times as many operators are re-
CURED as when the resumption took
place.
At first there was no difficulty ex-
perienced in securing help, but as
the force was increased the unem-
royed were put to work, assistance
was not so easily found.

JUDGE RESERVES
HIS DECISION
PLACE ON THE SQUARE NOT
OPEN TODAY BUT NOTHING
GIVEN OUT AS TO FUTURE.

The cases of the city against Fred
Hood, Irish Taylor and Mike Left
wich, based on the possession of fed
aral license, came up before the city
recorder this morning and the decis-
ion was withheld until Saturday
morning at 8 o'clock.
The soft drink stand of Hood &
Leftwich on the square was locked
up this morning, and there was no
business being transacted there.
Nothing is given out as to the inten-
tons of the proprietors, and no one
seems to know anything Many
have said that the crusade of the
mayor and his force against these
places would amount to nothing, and
the public is watching developments
with a great deal of interest. Hoods
action indicates, however, that the
crusade is getting results.

DR.. BROWNS STOCK
TAKES ON A BOOM
IN WASHINGTON CITY
CONDITIONS MORE HOPEFUL
FOR HIS APPOINTMENT TO
SUCCEED DR.. WILEY.
LATTER GAVE HIS ENDORSEMENT
President Has All the Papers in His
Possession and Senator Lea and
Representative Byrns Are Pleased
With the Prospects.

Information comes from Washing
ton that there is strong possibility
that DR.. Lucius P. Brown, of the good
county of Maury, and state pure food
and drug inspector, will be appointed
to succeed DR.. Wiley as chief of the
bureau of chemistry.
DR.. Wiley has been in the state
during the past few days, and him
self has spoken very kindly of DR..
brown, to disregard political lines
AND keep him on the job, and that a
better man could not be found to
have charge of the bureau of chemis-
try.
DR.. Brown himself is not making
AZ active effort to receive the ap-
Ipointment, because he had in a meas
ure endorsed another before the eff,
fort was started to land him.
The various endorsements Of DR..
Brown have been submitted to the
President, and his friends in Wash
ington who are making it a point to
let no opportunity slip to present
their claims, say there is nothing to
do now but to wait. They are of the
opinion that things are looking very
favorable and think the endorsement
of DR.. Wiley, which was secured with
no trouble, will have great influence
on the selection to be made by the ex.
ecutive Senator Lea and Represen.
tative Byrns have wired that they
are very hopeful, and that the mat
ter will be constantly kept in the best
possible attitude.
DR.. Brown is not only highly cap
able man but is also highly conscien-
tious in his acts personally as we'll
as where the public Is concerned.
This was the Characteristic that won
the Presidents approval of DR.. Wi
ley, and it is looked upon as one of
the strongest reasons for the nope
that he will succeed DR.. Wiley.
If the personal friends of DR..
Brown in Maury county could be lin
ed up at the executive mansion be.
fore the appointment was made it
= Ould cause the President to hesi-
tate long before he would sign the
commission of another man.

MILES COOK ON.
A CASH BASIS
RI GREATER WELL KNOWN GRO
GER WILL REQUIRE COIN
WITH The GOODS.

In this issue of The Herald will be
found the announcement of Miles
Cook, in which he states that in the
future he will sell groceries strictly
for cash. He will from time to time
have something to say in the columns
of The Herald in regard to his cash
business plan. He is giving away a
handsome dining room picture with
every cash purchase to the amount OF
$4,000. The plan is an easy one. He
gives each customer a card which
calls for $4,000 and when. it is all
punched out you get the picture and
it costs you nothing. Mr.. COOK
states In a card addressed to the pub
lie that he can save his customers
money and better serve them and at
the same time serve his own inter-
ests to much greater advantage.
Several months ago Mr.. Cook an
nounced that he would no longer so
licit orders by porters but would save
that extra expense and endeavor to
give better service in filling all teIe-
phone orders by having the porter
right at the place he is most needed.
He announces that this has been a
wonderful success, and feels that his
plan that he is going to Inaugurate
will be still greater benefit to the
public.

LIFE NOT WORTH LIVING

is the way Miss Alta Abel of West
Baden, Ind, summed up her existence
after having sought in vain for health.
She writes: Il was a complete wreck
always tired, worn out and nervous.
I had to spend about one-thfrd Of my
time in bed.
ssVinol, your delicious cod liver and
iron tonic, was recommended, and I
can truly say it has done me more
good than all the medicine I ever took
in my life. That nervou and tired
feeling is all gone. | have gained in
health, flesh and strength, until / feel
like another person" Eve guarantee
this testimonial to be genuine.)
What Yinol did for Miss Abel, we
know it will do for every nervous,
rundown, overworked, tired, thin and
discouraged woman in this vicinity.
Try a bottle of vinol with the IN.
derstanding that your money will be
returned If it does not help You.

Among the typical Western
scenes which will be shown with
Buffalo Bills Wild West and

the wagon train, settler camp
and Indian attack, in which the
pleasures and amusements of the

Cowboys will disport themselves

stunts which their equestrian
experiences has made them ia
nous for; roping horses, picking
up objects from the ground while
their bronchos are at full galIop,
and performing numerous other
tricks known and accomplished
by the cowboy Of the prairies.
While these seems Of revelry are
being enacted, Indians are MOTTO

and soon they make a murderous
attack upon the pleasure party
and the scene of revelry is quick
ly changed to one of relentless
combat. By this method are il
Illustrated the dangers and perils
which beset the pioneer in his
mission of redeeming the prairies
to the uses of civilization. Other
scenes typical of early days in
the West will form a part of the
