SHIELDS ELECTED
TENNESSEE SENATOR
New Senator Backed By Reg
uIaF Democrats

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 24.-The Ten
nessee. legislature has elected Chief
Justice John K. Shields, of the state
supreme court, United States senator
for the term beginning March 4.
The election of Judge Shields oc-
casioned little surprise During the
morning his friends were confidently
claiming that he would get II votes
when balloting time came. He re-
ceived So votes necessary to choice
Sc votes.
1t was Knoxville field day in the
deadlock. In hope of changing the
aspect of the contest the fusionists
entered Gen. Charles T. Gates, Jr., like
Judge Shields, Knoxville man, in the
race, and for years one of Judge
Shields closest friends.
When the joint convention began the
galleries were packed and excite
ment was intense. Many women were
present. The deadlock was broken on
the anniversary of the end Of the 1911
deadlock when Senator Luke Lea was
elected.
The election of Judge Shields as
senator will create a vacancy in the
state supreme court, which Gov.
Hooper will fill by appointment. The
court will choose the chief justice. The
vote on the short term senatorship fol-
lows:
NJ. L. Bryan, democrat. 54; W. r,
Webb, independent democrat, SO; J.
H. Underwood, republican, 30. Rest
scattered. Necessary to elect 66.
In his race for the senate Judge
Shields was backed by the so-called
regular" democrats.
Prior to this he had been more iden-
titled with the independent democratic
faction than with the regulars, though
not active either way. Gen. Gates, his
opponent was in the same position.

LICENSE ON
PRODUCE OF
The FARMS
UNLESS sold BY PRODUCER
City Council Levied Another
License

More encouragement for the farmer
to sell his produce in town has been
added by the city to that already given
by the establishment of the parcel post.
In Americas in the future every one
who sells farm produce here, except
the farmer who produces it, must pay
a license. That action has already
been taken by the city council here.
1t is true that the license has been
fixed at only fifteen dollars per year,
but that is license. 1t should, there
fore, tend to aid the farmer in dis
posing of his produce more readily
and more profitably than formerly.
This action was taken at the recent
meeting of the city council, and the Ii
cense on this class of dealers will go
into effect at once.
The license will apply to any one
buying cattle, eggs, chickens or other
fam products and selling them within
the city. Farmers who sell their
own products within the city are espe-
cially exempted from the operations
of this ordinance, which applies only
to dealers.

TIE COMPANION
TO A LAMP POST
And Place Parcels Post Tao
on Him

New York, Jan. 24-Securely tied
to lamppost above a letter box and
bearing placard inscribed Parcels
Post" with several registration stamps
affixed thereon, James Carroll, eight
years old, was found late yesterday
afternoon by Bicycle Policeman Arthur
Hunt, of the fremont police station,
at Fremont street and Bryant av-
enue, the Bronx.
After the ropes with which he was
bound had been removed the boy
paused in his homeward fight long
enough to inform the patrolman that
number of his companions had
made him the victim of a joke. Before
he was released young Carroll kicked
frantically and strained at-his bonds.
II didn't want to play Parcels Post
he lamented.
These kids; they're the limit" de-
I'clared the policeman when he reported
to the station house.

MEAT BILL
OF PEOPLE
IS HEAVY
SUMTER PAYS VERY MUCH
10 West for Its Meat
Supply

Sumter county pays annually a
great deal more for Western meat than
for automobiles" said an Americus
grocer yesterday, referring to recent
publication in The Times-Recorder Of
the estimated investment of more thau
$36O,OOO in "joy wagons, in the city
and county together.
A half million dollars, annually, is
required to pay the county's meat bill
for side meat alone, the grocer said,
and this sum does not include the cost
Of hams and fancy varieties of meats.
There are shipped to Americus an
average of four carloads of Western
meat each week, the grocer stated, at
an average cost of about $4,000 per
car; total, $4,000 per week. For fifty
two weeks, the bill would exceed $780,
OOO This would be paying some for
meat used on the farm.
But to be conservative, the grocer
estimated the meat bill at $500.000.
instead of 100000, which is nearer the
real figure, perhaps, and even at
that amount it takes 10000 bales Of
cotton, or nearly one-third the crop
of Sumter county to pay for our ba-
con. The lesson he would impress was
that the meat consumed in Sumter
county should be raised in Sumter,
thus saving $5O0O0O annually, now
spent in the West.
"No country in the world, except
ours, the best the sun shines upon,
could stand such constant drain up
Its resources" the grocer continued.
NEARLY one million dollars spent for
automobiles and Western bacon. It
costs us to ride and to eat," he
said.
Of course the automobile bill, an
nually is nothing like $360,OOO, al
though very considerable. That sum
$3.50, ,000-represents, approximately
the value of 450 cars now in use in
Sumter county, at an estimated valua-
ton of $500 each, which is probably
less than the actual cost.
Sumter's farmers do raise a very
considerable portion of the meat con-
sumed upon their farms, and the sup
ply raised at home grows larger ev-
cry year. At the same time, Sumter's
meat bill In the West is very consider
able.

MOONEY TELLS
HOW He BOUGHT
OIL LETTERS
WHILE HEARST EDITOR
Explains TO Campaign Fund
Probe Committee

Washington, D, c., Jan 24.-Charles
P. J. Mooney editor of the Memphis
Commercial-Appeal and formerly man
aging editor of the New York Ameri-
can, told the senate campaign fund in.
vestigating committee today about Sc
curing copies Of some of the Standard
Oil letters published by William R.
Hearst.
Mr.. Mooney testified he negotiated
for copies of only few of the Arch
bold letters; that they were brought
to the Americans Office by white man
whose name he did not know and that
he paid less than $500.
Il believe that with letters contail-
ing matter Of this sort, it was some
ones duty to make them public. They
showed that senators and representa-
tives sworn to protect the public in
terests were committing treason
against the public" Mr.. Mooney told
the committee.
He testified that when he became
managing editor of the New York
American in 1904, John Eddy, prev
iously city editor turned over to him
number of Photographic copies of
Standard Oil correspondence with pub
lie men. AS to how these were obtain
ed, Mr., Mooney could give no informa-
tion. Later man he could not name
offered him more letters, assuring him
he had come by them honestly" Mr..
Mooney made some Photographic
copies.
Il was later assured by counsel, "
! said Mr.. Mooney, that it would have
been entirely proper for me to buy
original letters containing matter of
such criminal character. | did not
want them, however, and / did not
care to have them remain in my pos
session or in the papers possession. .
Mr.. Mooney denied the statement III
an affidavit by Charles Stump, pre-
sented to the committee last week,
that "Mr Chamberlin and Mr. Mooney"
had inspected letter books taken from
the Standard Oil offices. He had new
er seen any such books, and he had
never negotiated with Mr.. Chamberlin
for any letters He added further that
he had never talked with Mr. Hearst
about the correspondence and had
never bought any of the originals.
Mr. Mooney branded the statement
that $4,000 was paid for copies of the
Standard Oil letters as IAN absurdity.
When asked for his judgment as to
the statement that $4,000 was paid,
Mr. Mooney replied that from news
point of view that price would not
have been excessive.
The committee took an indefinite re-
cess.
