Nashville Pleased.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 1S.-
News of the recommendation of for
mer State Treasurer Craig, of Chat
tanooga by Secretary McAdoo to be
collector of internal revenue for Ten
nessee was regarded at the custom
house as the first Of the final steps
to be taken in the settlement of pat
ronage matters in this state, which
have been held up for some time.
While internal revenue department
employees did not voice their senti-
ments in regard to the prospective
collector, general satisfaction was ex-
pressed that indications point to an
early settlement of the matter, which
will greatly facilitate much of the
work in that department.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Nov. 49,
E. B. Craig was flooded with mes
sages of congratulation upon his Sc
lection by Secretary of the Treasu-
ry McAdoo for internal revenue col
lector for Tennessee. No more pop
ular appointment for Chattanoogans
could have been made. Mr. Craig
is not only one of the city's leading
business men, but is personally one
of the most popular. He came to
Chattanooga from Nashville in 1908
and organized the Volunteer State

ident, a position which he held with
splendid efficiency until year ago,
when he retired and accepted the po-
sition Of southern representative of

TRAGEDY STAGED
In OPEN COUR 7
NEGRO ENACTS SCENE AT THE
TIME OF klLLlNG-IS
ACQUITTED.

. NASHVILLE, Nov. 19.-With At
torney General Anderson in the role
of the deceased, the killing of Harry
Harvill, a negro porter in Kelly's sa-
loon some time ago, by John Patter-
son, another negro, was enacted again
Monday in the criminal court. The
negro Patterson was asked by Gener-
al Anderson to show just how the
struggle occurred. The negro then
went through the melee he had with
Harvill in trying to keep the latter
from using his pistol and in his ex-
citement was about to handle the at
torney general pretty roughly when
he came to a realization of his sur
roundings.
The evidence at the trial proved
conclusively that the deceased was
the aggressor in the matter and that
Patterson fought to save his life.
During the scuff1e the pistol that Har-
will had secured to use on the defend
ant exploded twice and killed it's own
er. Patterson was given a verdict of
not guilty by Judge Neil, without the
case going to the jury.

COLUMBIA MAY HAVE
ANOTHER ICE PLANT
BEFORE NEXT SEASON
SIP BOTTLING CORPORATION TO
PUT IN A BOTTLlNG
OUTFIT.
ice MAKING IS CONSIDERED
Cold storage and an Electric Laun-
dry Also Among Possible New En-
terprises to Be Established Here
During the Coming Year.

At an informal meeting of the
Board of Trade at the Maury Nation
al Bank Tuesday afternoon E. "
Johnson, representing the Sip Bottling
Corporation, presented the PROPOSE
tion of his company, and the propo-
sition received the endorsement OF
the board, and promised all the en-
couragement possible. Mr.. Johnson
reiterated his former statement that
his company was anxious to sell some
of the stock locally, but that whether
this was done or not it was definitely
decided that plant would be estab-
lished in Columbia. In discussing the
matter in the presence of the board
an ice plant in connection with the
bottling works was suggested, and
he looked upon this with exceptional
favor, and said that wherever it was
desired an ice plant would be operat-
ed in connection. He further stated

also a part of the business. Mr..
Johnson stated that he was not au-
thorized to go further than the bot
tling and ice plant, but that he would
take up this feature with the corpor-
alton at once.
There was much encouragement OF
the ice plant proposition, and 1t was
thought by those present that this
would be one of the strongest features
of the new enterprise. Mr.. Johnson
will go before the public at once and
offer the local stock. a
Other matters discussed at the
meeting was the proposed site for the
live stock building, and some minor
matters regarding the working com
mittees were attended to by those
present who were connected with the
work.
! An electric sanitary laundrdy prop
osition, which met with much favor
was discussed by D. M. Bright, who
had the outline of such an enterprise
in a paper by practical laundryman
and it is likely that Columbia viii
soon have an electric laundry, that
is, laundry that. will do it's washing
with electrified water. The advan
tages of this method are said to be
in the1ife Of the garments, the stabil
ity of the colors and the minimum Of
expense.

In the first report of the granddury

out of the ordinary selling cigarette
papers. The judge has regularly

have as regularly failed msEtprn any
indictments. These threes Sare per-
haps the first indictments for viola

made in Columbia for lmber of
years. Clerk Hayes says - is the
first during his term. For some time
this law has been practically nulli-

the violations have continued without
molestation until it will doubtless be
a surprise when the notices are serv-

The list of indictments as returned
are six for selling liquor without Ii

BATTLE ROYAL FOR
THANKSGIVING IS THE
DOPE BY JONES
AND SEWANEE
THE EYES OF THE
SOUTH.
.INENTY.fOURTH time TO MEET
Game This Year Promises to Be One
Of ths ae16snstl and Hardest Fought
Of Any in the History of the Rival
:: ry- asss Teams.
'(By Werner M. Jones.)

r NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 19.-The
eyes of the entire football contingen.
of the state of Tennessee and the
Middle South are now centered upon
the annual football game between
Vanderbilt and Sewanee which ac-
cordifg to custom will be played in
Nashville Thanksgiving day.
These old time rivals will be. play
ing their twenty-fourth year when
their respective stalwarts line up on
Turkey day on Dudley field. and this
will make the twenty-afth n contest
played In the "a games played Van.
derbilt has won 16 and Sewanee 6,
while twice the teams have tied.
Only one year since football relations
started in 1891 have the teams failed
to meet, no game being played in
1899 on account of a misunderstand-
ing. Vanderbilt has scored so far
37S points against 156 for Sewanee.
The game this year promises to be
one of the hardest fought and closest
since football rivalry existed between
the big Nashville institution and the
hotbed of Purple ENTHUSIASM on the
Sewanee mountain top. Vanderbilt
has suffered the most disastrous year
so far since Coach Dan McGugin ar
rived from Ann Arbor, Mich, ten
years ago and proceeded to turn out
\ series of teams that have opened
the eyes of the entire country to the
prowess of the great American fall
game as played in Dixie. What with
injuries to the teams two greatest
players, Buddy Morgan and Tom
Brown, who contracted broken bones
respectively in the Michigan and Vir-
ginia games, and with inexperienced
men both in and behind the line,
the Commodores were overwhelmed
by both Michigan and Virginia and
were barely able to squeeze out vic
tory with Tennessee, which team Sc
vance had beaten by much larger
score earlier in the season.
The Sewanee team has had a good
record to date, having suffered but
one bad reverse, that at the hands OF
Georgia Tech, following long and te-
dious trip to Dallas, Sexas, to play
the University Of Texas, which latter
team, the undisputed champions of
the southwest, was barely able to
nose out a victory over the gritty and
much lighter Tigers. AS Sewanee
always, works the entire season with
the Vanderbilt game in view and al
ways plays her best game against the
Gold and Black, everything points to
this years contest as one of the best
from spectators and sportsmanship
standpoint that the two teams have
ever played The occasion will con-
stitute the usual annual reunion for
both Vanderbilt and Sewanee men
and promiess to attract record
breaking crowd Thanksgiving.

70 REQUIREMENTS Of
LAW AND CHARTER
FIRST REPORT OF THE SUPERIN.
TENDENTs UNDER THE
NEW LAW.
METAL NEEDED EVERYWHERE
Commission in Doubt as to Its Right
to Demand View of the Books
Showing Receipts and Disburse.
ments by the Companies.

The superintendent Of the turn
pixies filed their first report under the
new law with the county court clerk
Monday, and their findings, while not
surprising will doubtless cause a
great deal of hustling around on the
part of the turn pike owners during
the next few months. This is the re-
port of the annual inspection, as re-
ouired by the new law, and includes
all the toll roads or pixies in the
county, to-wit: Central turnpike,
Spring Hill and Kedron, Bear Creek,
Rally Hill, Sowell Mill, Pulaski, Co
lumbia and Lite Bigby, Columbia and
Culleoka, Columbia and Williamsport,
Culleoka and Mooresville, Columbia
and Hampshire, and Columbia and
Santa Fe.
All these pixies were inspected dur
ing the month of October with the
exception of the latter which was in
spected the first day of November.
The inspectors state that they have
not been able to obtain statement
of the receipts and disbursements of
the various turnpike companies, and
further that they are somewhat in
doubt as to their right to demand an
inspection of their books. The fur
ther statement is made that in the
opinion of the superintendents the
pixies of the county are not in the con-
dition as required by law and by the
various charters.
There is a review of each pike and
the work necessary to put the same
in acceptable condition and in compli-
ance with the law is mentioned and
the places where this work is needed
is named
Beginning with the Nashville or
Central turn pike a review of each
is made, and not one of the pixies
but comes in for some of the criti-
cisms. The Mooresville and Culleoka
pike, however, is criticised but little,
only guard rails called for at one
place and leveling of the road bed
at one other point.
There is a diversity of slackness in
the keeping of the pixies in proper
condition as shown by the report.
Metal is needed on many of the pixies
and in different places on some.
Some places bed rock is showing
bitches at the side of the roads are
i1Iled up and need opening, and guard
rails are needed in numerous places
Culyerts are needed in many places.
and the drainage for the road better
arranged, while there is a call for a
widening of the beds in some places
At the approaches to the Middle
Tennessee road on the Williamsport
pike attention is called to the fact
that the road is too narrow and the
approach too steep for safety, and
the lack of ratings for the proper
protection.
From the report of the superintend
ents it is surprising that there has
not been more complaint on the part
OF the people who have to travel over
these roads.

MEMORIAL BRIDGE BILL
Structure Would Signify Restored
Nation" According to
Measure

Representative Mccall, Of Massa-
chusetts, yesterday took the first
step in the direction OF legislation to
erect great memorial bridge across
the Potomac river, connecting Airing
ton with the proposed Lincoln Memo
rial in Potomac Park. He introduced
bill in the House recommending that
the life of the Lincoln memorial COM
mission be extended and that it be
authorized to procure plan and de-
sign for the bridge, which, according
to the measure. would be memorial
to a restored nation"
The bill carries an appropriation OF
! $4,000 for the additional expenses
that would be incurred by the CON-
mission, which would be authorized to
! select tie location for the structure,
employ the services of engineers. ar
chitects. and sculptors, and to avail
itself of the services Or advice Of
! the commission of fine arts.
The measure was referred to the
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce, this bsing necessary un-
der the rules Of the House which re-
quire al! bridge legislation involving
structures across navigable streams
to 90 to that body for consideration
: Ordinarily a measure providing fol
memorial would be sent to the IL
brary committee.
N. E. Harlow, of Alexandria, who is
deeply interested in the proposed
bridge across the Potomac as it vii
mean the connecting link with the MI
Vernon highway, for which Mir. Har
low has been working Tor years, sta.
ted today that from information re
ccived by him at the capitol there wa:
10 doubt but that the bridge measure
would pass at this session. He a!st
stated that the outlook for the passag;
Of the act authorizing the building
Of the Mt. Vernon avenue was very
bright.
