Expert Naughton Thinks Wolgast Is Going Back
Appendicitis and 0ver-Confidence the Cause

score rendered Wolgast wild, the
Southerner took advantage of the
champions mistakes and rolled up
credits that could not be wiped
out.
The lesson gathered from the
punch-for- punch descriptions is
that had Mandot started out with
the same degree of confidence he
finished up with, there might have
been a new worlds champion. AS
it is, Wolgast can pause amid his
protestations and thank his stars it
is no worse.
on all sides one hears the query
propounded: What is really the
matter with Wolgast?"
Operation Stirred Him Up.
To the writer it appears to be a
combination of appendicitis and
overconfidence. I know that old
trainers of field athletes claim that
an operation such as Wolgast I'M
derwent will convert a ten-second
man into an eleven second one, and
1t hardly requires a knowledge Of
mathematics to figure out what ef-
feet the experience will have on
champion fighter. A ten second
sprinter is u rarity; an eleven-seC-
ond man is d common occurrence,
and it is beginning to look as
though WOlgast has been trans
formed from a rarity to a common
occurrence.
What makes 1t worse in Ads
case is that fighting is as the
breath of his nostrils. He possesses
the typical pugilistic temperament.
and 1t would require something
more depressing than the jab Of a
surgeons knife to Undue him with
the idea that the earth held a. bet
ter fighter than himself at equal
pOundage.

ponds in no small measure the future development

movement and will assure steady and certain
progress along larger and more liberal lines

aid the council in shaping an acceptable draft. let
him get out tonight and assert his rights When
he speaks, he will not speak from a personal mo
tive but for the good of all the people and in the

PENALTIES GO ON TAXES TO-

rne busiest place in Maury county
during the past few days is the trus-
tees Office, and so it will continue to
be for another week.
The fact that the penalties will go
on taxes after the first day OF the
month. which is Friday. is the cause
FOR this rush. Circuit court has been
n session and this has brought a
number OF people to town for various
reasons in connection with the court,
and others have come specially to
settle with the trustee, and SO great
has been the demand on the trustee,
Spence MoFall, and his deputy, Har-
-ris Puryear, that Luther Oliver has
been called on TO assist in the work
and he is installed there for few
days until the rush is over.
The mails daily bring in enough OF
inquiries and remittances to keep one
man busy, and even more, and it will
be several days after the first day of
March before some who have sent re-
mittances will get their receipts, and
it will possibly be the 10th before a
complete comparative report can be
had from the office,
Mr.. McFall is waiting on the peo-
pie who call in person to make pay
ments. Mr.. Oliver is looking after the
warrants, and Mr.. Puryear has
charge Of the correspondence, and
this morning he had stack of letters
piled on his desk that he didn't even
hope to get through with today, and
each incoming mail only increased
the number. He stated that all mail
remittances received before Friday
would be credited as of February 20,
and though the receipts might be de-
layed in issuing there would be no
