Coal Taken From Hold

Storage in salt water has but little
deteriorating effect upon coal. This
fact has been determined by the steam
engineers OF the navy, in tests of the
coal taken from the bunkers OF the
battleship Maine after fourteen years
on the bottom Of Havana Harbor. The
coal had lost less than 10 per cent of
its heat or steam producing value.

would be a credit to any little city.
IT has not been formally decided but
that ceremony will take place this
fall
A splendid program marked the
services Sunday which lasted the
greater portion of the day. So large
was the crowd that the church was in
adequate to seat them all, but they
were made as comfortable as posi-

ATTEMPT TO REMOVE
BROOKS AS ELECTION
COMMISSIONER HERE
CLAIMS THAT HE is INCOMPE-
TENT ON ACCOUNT OF HIS
CANDIDACY.
Committee MAY Be CALLED
May Also Consider the Nomination of
Regular Republican Ticket for the
Legislature, But Which Faction Not
Known.

Claiming that he is incompetent on
account of the fact that he is can
didate for election as justice of the
peace in the eighth district of Maury
county to succeed himself, there is
an effort to remove John B. Brooks as
the republican election commissioner
of the county.
William Barker, chairman o. the
republican county committee wrote
Mr.. Brooks and asked him for a con-
ference regarding the appointment of
the election officers Of the county for
the coming August election, and ask
ed that the suggestions of the commit
tee be considered.
Mr. Brooks replied that he would
tie only too glad to receive sugges-
items from Mr.. Barker or any ether
good citizen looking to the end that
men might be appointed who would
see that there was fair elections in
the county. Accepting the RESPONSE
bility as heavy one Mr.. Brooks stat
ed that it would be his purpose to APP
point only such men as he believed
would insure the enforcement of the
pie at the polls would not be Ques-
toned when announced. ,f
/ Subsequent to this correspondent
letter was written to State Chair
man Beasley setting forth the facts
as stated above, claiming that Mr..
Brooks could not act in the appoint
n,ent of the officers that are to hold
TIE election in which he is a candi-
date, and asking that Mr.. Maynard
be requested not to consider anyone
to succeed Mr. Brooks until after the
meeting of the county committee,
which, under the rules, adopted, could
not meet for ten days.
This call has not been made as yet
and it is not known that it VIII be
made, nor is it known who is likely
to be endorsed for election commits
sioner in the event it should turn out
that Mr.. Brooks really is incompet ent
and should have to be replaced
It is thought that should the COM
mittee be called to act on this matter
that it will also consider the nom'na-
ton of regular republican ticket for
the legislature, and it is known that
there are least three OF the members
ontspoken for such a move, but the
matter of whether these will be pro-
grsesiyes or reactionaries, Hooperites
Or Oliver followers, has been careful
ly guarded by the advocates Of the
move.
It 10 an open secret, however, that
the Taft followers are opposed to the
nomination of regular ticket, pro
vided, Of course, that the independ-
ents can give proper assurance that
their nominees will be in sympathy
With Governor Hooper in many OF his
administrative policies.
1t begins to look like the Pull
Moose and the Elephant are to have
a controversy in Maury county.

VIII Make Provision for the Protec-

the Employees in the Service Who
viii Need Their Salaries.

On account of the failure of the
appropriation bill to pass the house
of congress postmasters and postal
officials generally in a dilema as to
how to proceed, beginning with the
first day of July, which is Monday.
The postoffice here has a pay roll,
including the railway postal clerks,
the city carriers and the Office force,
of about $4,000 a month. It is the
custom of Postmaster Jackson 10 re-
tain this amount out of his regular
remittances to Washington to meet
the monthly pay roll.
Beginning with Monday morning
the postmaster will be subject to a
fine and Imprisonment for every day
that The postoffice force is kept at
work under his direction, unless the
expenses therefor are provided for
either by an emergency resolution or
by the passage of the appropriation
bill.
1t is, however, the intention OF Mr..
Jackson to go right on with the trans.
action of the regular business of the
Office with the force, and in order to
protect his bondsmen he will not pay
cut a penny not provided for in the
regular channels. He will at the
same time protect the employees in
the service who are not paid by
voucher, by retaining the amount of
the ray roll and depositing the same
with the Maury National Bank, in
order that there will be no DELAY in
getting the use of it when the proper
orders are issued.
