Negro Porters Get the Money

A glance over the miscellaneous
bill paying the expenses of the
Legislature, which was passed at
the extra session, shows many
cases of reckless expenditure Of
the states money. 1t is also
shown that to be q porter in the
Senate and House, if you can
have certain forces pulling for
you, Is no bad job.
Two instances of excuse are
the cases of Hugh Fain and Rob
ert Bradley, Senate porters.
These porters, Fain a protege of
John |, COX, and Bradley, a pet
of several Regulars, drew from
the treasury, for services as por-
fers, the aggregate sum of ST.
760 80. They were each allowed
SO. so for the regular session, for
the 1877 days of the holdover and
for the extra session. Fain vas
allowed 1885 so aud Bradley 1876.
Turner Crosby, a pet of Sena-
tor Lambert, whose home is at
Centervile, drew $5S250 from
the Treasury. He took his place
during the latter part of the regu-
lar session, and was kept on the
payroll throughout all the ruinp
session and the extra session and
notwithstanding the fact that
Speaker White and Speaker Pro
TEN. Dorsey Thomas dismissed
him after the regular session,
telling him there was no further
need for him.
Not only did the porters get a
good grab, but there were others.
Thomas Tansil, Deputy Clerk of
the House, copied out an aggre-
gate sum of 81, Gl6. He was paid
IS dsy, while Chief Clerk Full
toH was allowed only SO. W. a.

What, a Klondyke in Tenn?

j. 7. Conway, a prominent
farmer and school teacher of the
third district of Lawrence coun-
ty, recently took to lawrence
burg some pieces of stone which
contain a very noticeable amount
of gold. The stones were found
on his farm. Some of them were
placed in the Lawrence county
high school laboratory and others
were sent to the state chemist
for analysis. The discovery was
made some years ago and when
an analysis was made it showed
that the stones contained some
35 per cent of gold. At that
time there was strong talk Of
sinking shaft, but the PROPOSE
Ltion was dropped for fear that it
could not be found in paying
quantities.
1t is probable that a shaft will
be placed in operation soon il
the present analysis shows that
it will pay. The people are very
much elated over the proposition
as the gold is found on severa
other farms in the community.

The Legislature is again In SEES
sion under call from the Gov
ernor, with their subjects for
consideration narrowed down to
Hooper's force bills and bill de-
claring saloons a nuisance, and
two anti jug bills. To pass the
anti-iue laws would be waste OF
time, as they would be inopera-
tive in the face of our interstate
commerce laws. The force bills
are of such a vicious character
that patriotic Tennesseans, re
CARELESS of political affiliations,
are getting awake to the situa.
tion and have begun to realize
what it means. They also know
that these bills are unconstltu-
tionaI and were included in the
call for political reasons only.
They should be killed outright.
The nuisance bill is the only one
within the call that is worthy of
notice. When it is properly
amended 1t should be passed.

China Wedding Reception.

China Wedding Reception.
One of the most charming hos
FATALITIES ofthe season was the
china wedding anniversary cele-
brated by Mr.. and Mrs. Sam
Werner, Jr., Saturday evening
at their handsome home on Rail
road Avenue.
The decorations were very law
isb and most artistic. A wealth |
of roses and chrysanthemums
filled the reception apartments
with color and fragrance. Stands |
of garden flowers were also used;
great clusters of pink and white
cosmos were used with beautiful
effect. Very attractive was the
side porch, which is an inviting
out-ot-door sitting room, and
which was bright with ferns and
autumn foliage. An orchestra
was stationed at one end and
dancing was enjoyed. In spaci-
Gus room adjoining, five tables
were placed, where an animated
card game was played.
The punch table at one end of
the hall was ornamented with
white roses and garlands of
smllax, and was presided over by
Misses Eda Marugg and Eula
Orick. The reception room ad.
joining had 10 the center table
yelled with rich imported EN-
broidery, and tall vase filled
with white roses formed its floral
center piece. The bridal tones
of green and white were effect
lively used in the decorative plan.
The dining room was unusually
attractive with color scheme of
pink and white. The circular
table was yelled with richly en-
broidered damask; the floral CEN
terpiece was a crystal vase filed
with dozens of killarney and
brides roses, resting on superb
oval lace piece over pink. A
large wedding cake with twenty
pink candles shed a soft light
over the table, with numerous
electric bulbs shaded with pink,
made the whole scene a bower Of
beauty. Attractive place cards
{ were used, the favors for the
f ladies being miniature brides
dressed in pink. A very tempt
/ ing two-course menu was served,
the ice course being in pink and

MISSOURI PACIFIC SHOWING.
Reorganization Under President Bush
Has It's Effect.

New York, Jan. Tn only one
month of the fiscal year ended June
80, 1912, did the Missouri Pacific earn
as high as 100000 gross. In the
current fiscal year there has been no
month in which gross revenues did not
exceed the 100000 mark. This is
the strongest commentary on the re-
suits of the reorganization under
President Bush in 1911 and the sub
sequent rehabilitation of the property
In the five months to November 80
an average monthly excess of i$494, 600
over the 100000 mark and an aver
age monthly increase of $67S,0O0 over
the same period in the preceding year.
- October, 1911, was the heaviest
month during the fiscal year. 1t is
significant, therefore, that in the cur
rent year gross revenues for october
exceeded those of October, 1911, by
$4,000, or los per cent. The gain
for the five months period was 14.1
per cent.
But the above does not tell the
whole story. After spending 1885 per
cent of total gross revenues upon main
tenance of way and structure and re-
pairs to equipment, representing an
actual increase of $3.50, 900 over such
expenditures in the same five months
of 1911, the management was able to
for the net. In other words, where in
lar of gross was saved for net, the net
this year got the benefit of $3.50 cents
out of each dollar. This is the result
of more economical operation made
possible by improvements and new
eouipment
