WATCH FOUND
IN OPEN FIELD
LOST ALMOST THREE YEARS
AGO is BUT LITTLE DAMAG-
ED BY EXPOSURE.

A remarkable find was made on the
place of r. F.. Moore & Son Tuesday
by a colored man. In January, 1911,
Clint Moore lost a gold watch, Wal
than works, with silk fob and gold
mountings. The loss was advertis-
ed and as nothing was heard of it Mr..
Moore concluded that it had been
stolen, probably.
Tuesday one of the workmen on the
farm found the watch in the open
field while he was drilling in wheat.
Aside from the fact that the crys-
tai was broken and the hands gone
from the dial 1t was in a fair state OF
repair. The silk fob was still strong
and not decayed, and an examination
of the works by local jewellers found
nothing wrong with them. The
watch is in running order and with
the replacing of the crytal and the
hands will be in apparently as good
condition as ever.
II is now thought that the time
niece must have been lost about the
harm or sheds and carried out in the
dry manure recently.

talk about the actions of the Judges
of Knoxville, Chattanooga and Nash
vile in cleaning up those cities, and
stated that the only place in the
state that had not taken any steps
toward he betterment of conditions
was poor old Crump ridden Memphis.
But, Mr.. Chairman said the
speaker, would it not be better for
us to have a house cleaning at home,
a little more law enforcement in Co.
lumbia, or else some fellow over in
Memphis might point his finger at us.
II Knoxville, Chattanooga and Nash
vile can be cleaned up of these liq-
uor joints why not Columbia" said
the speaker. Because Columbia has
not elected the right kind of men to
look after it's affairs. So long as
there is man at the helm of your
city's affairs who is blind to the
things that are carried on in this
town, the same conditions will exist,
and man that is bind to the Joints
that have been operated right here
on your public square.
"A man who would telegraph Hila-
ry Howse the morning after the elec-
ton in Nashville, congratulating him
upon his election, is not qualified to
be mayor of Columbia"
County Attorney Whitthorne.
Mr.. Whitthorne made a short and
forceful speech, citing the real mean
ing of law and what it meant to a
people. The great advantages that
the people derived from the laws and
thenr enforcement, and stated that he
felt that every man of intelligence
and right mind would want the laws
enforced after they were placed upon
the statute books regardless of what
they were and especially after the
majority of people had so expressed
themselves in favor of the law.
r. S. Hopkins.
| Mr.. Whitthorne was followed by R.
IS. Hopkins, a member of the local
bar. Mr.. Hopkins stated that he had
not expected to make a speech, but
that he was always on the side of law
enforcement and by the time he clos.
ed his speech every hearer he had
was of the same opinion. He stated
that it mattered not what political
party it was that failed to uphold the
majesty of the law that it would soon
die and that the time had now come
when there would soon be a funeral
sln politics unless there was a quick
reformation. He fired some broad
siders at Mayor Howse and Mayor
Crump, and also took a shot at the
| mayor of Columbia. Mr.. Hopkins
went little further than any speak,
er had previously done, he impI SON
ated the man who has been operating
the liquor joints in Columbia, who
had been allowed to go by without
molestation for the past three
months, and that was Fred Hood. He
stated that men doing business over
at the passenger depot had petitioned
the mayor to close up Hoods joint,
that he drew the petition himself and
saw the signatures thereto, but that
as far as he had ever heard the place
was never molested. why should
Hood be protected" said the speaker.
Messrs. E. H. Hatcher, George T.
Hughes. Sr., and H. P. Figuers made
short talks that we're along the same
line of thought as the other speak

There was an alteration at Water

cousin, George Anderson, and Sam
Williams had been together during
the afternoon and were thought to
have been drinking. Williams and
the kinsman of the young man were
not to be found when he was discov-

was dead, but a close examination
proved to the contrary.

During Saturday night and Sunday
he was unconscious, and when con-

Meeting at the circuit court room on
Sunday afternoon for law enforce

erings ever known in Maury county
The circuit court room was filled with
he best OF the citizenship of the city
and county and seemingly they were
of one mind, and that is the complete
suppression of the liquor traffic in
Tennessee and especially in Column
bia. While there were representa-
tives present from nearly every sec
ton of the county the great bulk OF
the crowd was made up of the citi-
zens of Columbia.
The feature of the meeting was the
caustic arraignment of Mayor Dedman

chief executive was greeted with
thunders of applause and wild cheer
ing. The demand that Columbia
elect a mayor who would enforce the
laws against all offenders was voiced
by several speakers only to be most
cordially applauded.
The first reference to local condi-
tions was made by j. c. Voorhles,
who suggested that law enforcement,
like charity, should begin at home.
rhe audience cheered and applauded
and when the first wave of applause
died away it was renewed and renew
ed. There was never for an instant
the slightest doubt from that time on
as to the attitude of the audience on
the question of the strict enforcement
of the laws at home as well as in 9th
er cities.
The mass meeting by unanimous
vote, and almost every one standing
adopted resolutions declaring for the
strict enforcement of the laws against
the sale of liquor in Nashville, Mem.

state. The resolutions also condemn
officials who will not enforce the laws
and demand their removal from office
and their punishment. The resolu

applause especially that portion OF
them which referred to Columbia.
The meeting was called to order
by Chairman Jonas T. Amis, of the
independent state democratic commit

FORMER COUNTESS
NOW MRS, WHITNEY
Alice Cornelia Thaw Marries
Into One of Boston's Old
est Families.
National News Association


CUMBERLAND ISLAND, Ga, April
24.-Alice Cornelia Thaw, formerly
Countess of Yarmouth, who since her
divorce from the Earl of Yarmouth
has been known as Mrs. Copley Thaw
was married here yesterday to Geof-
frey Whitney, of Boston. The cere-
mony took place at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. George Lauder Carnegie.
Mr.. Carnegie is a nephew of Andrew
Carnegie, and his wife is sister to
Mrs. Thaw. Mr.. Whitney is a banker
and broker of Boston and belongs to
one of the old Massachusetts families
The wedding of Alice Thaw to the
Earl of Yarmouth in 1903 was a nota-
BILE social event. After the bridal
party had gathered in Calvary Episco-
pal church and the officiating rector
was ready to perform the ceremony,
there was a long delay caused by the
ultimatum of the Earl that before he
would allow to proceed he must have
$1,000,000 of the ThaW fortune.
Attorneys were called in and some
arrangement was made satisfactory to
both parties. 1t was afterwards said
that the Earl compromised by accept
ing a settlement of $4,000 a year. The
wedding was also marked by delay
in the appearance Of Harry Thaw, the
brother of Alice Thaw, who was the
Earl's best man. 1t is said that Harry
had gone out with some boon compan-
ions for a celebration, preceding the
wedding, and when he finally turned
oh, he in thoy
mellow condition.
The marriage which began under
such unfortunate circumstances, was
not happy one and rumors of quar-
rels over money matters became rife.
shortly after the couple went to live
at Hartford Mansion, England.
In 1903 Harry Thaw shot and killed
Stanford White in New York. The
countess came back to this country
for her brothers trial and sat with
MIN during the court session. Later
she returned to England and in 1908
secured divorce from the Earl of
Yarmouth. The case was rather SEN
sational and the testimony brought
out the fact that the Earl was any
thing but faithful husband.
With his divorce, the Earl lost all
financial interest in the Thaw fortune,
aad reduced to poverty, he tried, for
: time, to make living on the
English variety stage, but was not
success as a performer. Later on his
father died and he came into the
title of Marquis of Hartford, but it
is said that the estates are heavily
encountered and that the Earl is al
most in want.
Mrs. William Thaw was present at
her daughters wedding. Others in the
party were, Miss Susanna Riddle of
Pittsburg; Mrs. Hunt Slater and Mrs.
Robert Christie, of Washington; Mrs
Edward Gary Williams, of Boston, the
Hon. Mrs. Hanbury, of England, who
has been staying for some time with
Mrs. Copley Thaw at her Washington
home, and Mr.. Harold Pierce, of Bos-
ton, Mr.. Whitneys best man.
After brief wedding trip Mr., Whit
ney and his bride will spend some
time in Washington, before going to
Boston, where they will reside.
