EGG PRICES
=! =; ARE SOARING
CONSUMERS ARE PAYING THiR.
TY-FiVE CENTS PER DOZEN
HERE.
The Poultry Market DemoraIized and
No Demand--SmalI Turkeys
Are Not Wanted.

The local produce men are a bit
worried over the condition of the
poultry and egg market. Eggs are
higher than they have ever been
known to be here at this season of
the year, and the retail dealers have
been forced to advance the price to
IS cents per dozen. In Nashville the
price to consumers is 40 cents per
dozen, and the receipts are not what
might be expected with the prices
soaring as they are.
The poultry conditions appear to
have taken the other extreme. Hens
and chickens are still quoted at a
very low figure, and the general mar
kets are reported as demoralized with
no immediate prospects of a clearing
up. There is no demand for small
turkeys, and birds under eight pounds
find very poor market.
Sugar is reported as being on the
advance. Other staples are about
on level with the prices at the first
of the week.

RELICS Of FACTORY
FOR MAKING GUNS
DURING The SIXTIES
THE STREET DEPARTMENT UN-
EARTHS PARTS IN LAYING
SEWER MAIN.
CAPITAL BY LOCAL PARTIES
Smaller Parts Were Hand Forged at
Time of Fall of Fort Donelson, But
No Arms Were Ever Completed,
Federal Troops Preventing.

One of the incidents that has re-
Gently connected the present with the
days of the sixties was the laying of
the sewer main from School street to
High between Ninth and Tenth
streets. The direct connecting link
was the unearthing of number of
the smaller parts of guns such as
locks, triggers and breech pins.
This unearthing brought to the
minds Of the older residents of the
city the fact that during the latter
part of the year 1861 there was es-
tablished in this city and in the To-
cality mentioned, what was at. that
time intended to be gun factory,
but which never got to the point
where the arms were completed.
The capital stock of the enterprise
was raised right here in Columbia
and was subscribed not with a view
to any profits, but was made through
Southern states. w. ]. Dale, father
of w. ]. Dale, of the Dale Grain and
Feed Company, was president, and
Frank G. Smith, father Of Frank H.
Smith was one of the principal sub
scribers to the fund. Charles B.
Knowles, an Englishman of superior
mechanical attainments who was at
the time of the organization master
mechanic for the southern arm Of the
L. & n. Railroad, resigned his posi-
ton with the road to accept place
in the factory A. w. Collier, faith
er of John, Collier, of this city, was
prominently connected with the fac
tory, as were number of others who
were then residents of the city. 1t
was intended that guns similar to
those being used by the Confederate
soldiers should be manufactured, and
model gun had been received.
Many of the smaller parts were be,
ing made, all being hand forged, and
rapid preparations were being made
for the completion of the arms early
in the year 1862 when the fall Of Fit.
Donelson came, and this section was
a few weeks thereafter invested by
the federals.
Knowles saw what he easily dis
cerned to be the end of the project
when Fl. Donelson fell and got much
of the machinery and stock, includ-
ing large amount of walnut timber
which had been assembled for the.
stocking of the arms, into more more
Southern territory where 1t was later
used to an advantage for the South
ern army. Other tools and supplies
were taken charge Of by residents OF
the city and were later used in the
operation of a fire arms repair shop
by Van Darn and Forrest which was
on South Main street about where
the concrete residences of the Hern-
don estate are located.

In the elections Tuesday demo-
cracy was triumphant from the
lakes to the Gulf. Even rock ribbed
Illinois joined the triumphant pro-
cession. Cleveland's victory is COM
plete.
In Tennessee neither the republi-
cans nor the populites received any
enlargement. The rock ribbed
democracy of Old Maury rallied
nobly to the cause and Buchanan
received scant consolation. In the
ninth district the democratic major
ity was $50. Heretofore this dis
trict has been close or gone republi-
can by slight majorities.
Election news was received at the
Bethel House by wildly enthuslas-
tic crowd. The returns were read
by Mai. j. T. Williamson and as the
victory for the democrats was con-
firmed the crowd went wild and par

fingered around the bulletin boards

of the victory was removed.

the floor by the members OF his Cabinet.
When It was suggested that Washington
and Adams had been accompanied by
their Cabinets, President Wilson recalled
that those Cabinets consulted Of only
three members. It was recalled, also,
that IL had been the custom at that
time for the entire house to visit the
President In a body, an occurrence which
would cause some embarrassment at the
White House in these days.
President Wilson himself took the en-
tire initiative in bringing about this in
novation. He simply asked Senator
Kern and Representative Underwood,
the Democratic leaders, IL they thought
there would be any objection to the pro-

there would not, and gave the suggestion

TWO CURRENCY BILLS.
Senators Lodge and Hitchcock In
troduce Fiscal Measures.

Two bills revising the currency laws
were introduced in the Senate yesterday.
Senator Lodge proposed the bill embody-
ing the Aldrich currency plan. The bill
was introduced for his colleague, Senator
Weeks, who was a member of the None
tary Commission.
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska offered
an elaborate measure providing for not
less than twenty or more than twenty
five national reserve associations, of
which one should be for five New Eng
land States with headquarters at Bos-
ton, and another for New York and Con-
necticut, with headquarters at New York.
New Jersey and the eastern half of Penn
sylvania are included in another, with
headquarters at Philadelphia, while West
ern Pennsylvania and West Virginia are
blended in an association with headquar-
tiers at Pittsburgh. The Hitchcock bill
provi les for no central reserve 1t also
provides that each reserve association
shall be reserve agent for the national
banks in the territory included in that
particular association, and that any de-
post in a national bank with the reserve
association shall be counted as a portion
of the banks reserve.
