The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1912-02-15
WILCOX MAY RESIGN AS
PRISON &C WHATSOEVER

Nashville, Feb 13.-For some weeks
rumors have been heard that Prison
Commissioner It. S. Wilcox may resign.
Mr.. Wilcox was asked this morning if
there was any foundation for the report.
He replied that he had nothing at pres
ent to say on the subject, not having
made up his mind what he will do.
Mr.. Wilcox is in personal charge of
farming operations at the main prison
in Nashville.
The resignation of Mr. Wilcox would
be no surprise to friends in Chattanoo-
ga. He stated recently that matters
were not in every way congenial, so it
is said, and that he desired to quit the
prison job, as he did not feel like draw
ing the salary unless he could have
more authoring at the state farm.
Friends of Mr.. Wilcox expect formal
statement from him in the next few
days. The penitentiary committee of
the last Legislature Investigated Mr..
Wilcox's administration of the Brushy
mountain mines operated by convicts
and commended his efforts. Later,
when appointes of Gov Hooper became
majority of the board, Mr.. Wilcox
was placed in charge of the farm, and
is now the democratic member of the
board

TENNESSEE LAUNCHES
AIN UND :. WOOD CLUB

Nashville, Feb. l2.-'The Central
State Underwood Club, with 100 OIL
more members, was organized tonight
at meeting at the Tulane hotel. Mayor
Hilary Howse was the moving spirit,
but he was backed by quite number
of prominent men.
Headquarters were opened at once
and straight-out fight made for the
Tennessee delegation to Baltimore.
With Howse in the saddle, Davidson
county's delegation to the state conven-
ton is almost assured to Underwood,
although Harmon is very strong in
this county.
The Underwood boomers say they
are for Underwood first, but if he can
not annex the prize they will be for
Harmon.
II. II. Mayberry, president of the
Nashville Interurban railways, was
elected president of the Central Club;
T.. q. Faircloth, vice-president; w. G..
Hutchinson, second vice-president, and
DR.. Alberto Hudson, secretary. The
latter two are native Alabamians.
