Sentence of Lower Court
On T. ii. Stratton For
killing William Poteet
Affirmed at jackson.

The Supreme court at Jackson
last Saturday affirmed the decis-
ion of the Circuit court of Hen
derson county in sentencing
Thomas Il. Stratton to ten years
in the penitentiary for partici-
pating in the killing Of William
A. Poteet in June Of last year,
on his own farm some ten miles
a little north west of Lexington.
Poteet and his son were plant
ing corn. in their field when T.
II. Stratton and his grandson,
Floyd Stratton, shot him from
the ambush of q weed.lined
ditch bank, the younger man
stepping out into the open and
firing the last shot which result
ed in the death Of Poteet. The
evidence showed that Poteet had
threatened the life of the elder
Stratton and the plea of self.de.
fence was made by the defense
but could not be sustained. We
are informed that Mr.. Stratton
has gone to begin his sentence
and it will be remembered that
Floyd accepted his sentence and
made no appeal to the higher
court.

No Commission Govern
ment for Jackson.

The movement to give jackson
d commission form of govern
ment has been killed for two
years at least--and will be pre-
vented again if those who are
running the aldermanie system
can have their way and can get
another representative to dc
their bidding, as Representative
Taylor has done in the 18th Gen
eral Assembly. Mr.. johnson,
the other direct representative
from Madison county, seems to
have established no personality
at all in the body, but as Taylor
went he could every time be
counted on to go. One OF those
who helped kill the government
Iby commission movement fol
jackson, was Attorney r. l.
Spraggins, who had been made
one of the committee of 6fteer
appointed to draft the commits
sion amendment to the jackson
charter. Mr., Spraggins' assign
ed reason for quitting the com
mittee was wantof time or some
thing of the kind-but he hat
time all right to join with thu
Mayor, the aldermen and thu
chief Of police of Jackson to de
stroy the modern movement

some Interesting history in con

Falls From Cars and Re-
ceives Injuries Which
Soon Result In Death
In Jackson Sanitarium.

At an early hour Tuesday
morning, on Denmark Hill, on
the Nashville, Chattanooga d
St. Louis Railway, Jim Tulley,
aged II, while beating his way
from Memphis to Lexington on
freight train, fell from the
car on which he was riding and
was so badly injured that he
died at 10 80 O'Clock a. m. Tues
day, in the Crook Sanitarium at
Jackson.
Tulley's injuries were princi-
pally mangled leg which ne
cessitated amputation, and con.
fusion Of the side. The injured
boy was rushed to jackson to
the infrmary and given every
possible attention, but he died
in spite of all efforts to save
him.
Tulley is said to have become
conscious before he died and to
have made the statement that
he was on his way to Lexington
in the WY stated and that he
was in an intoxicated condition,
which was the cause of his fall.
Jim Alexander, uncle Of Tul.
ley, accompanied by DR.. R. FL.
Davidson, went to Jackson Tu,s-
day morning, but the boy was
dead when they reached the
city. The remains were brought
to Lexington and inferred on
Wednesday.
1t will be remembered that
John Tulley, father OF the un.
fortunate boy, lost his life on the
railroad at the Lexington depot,
being run over by a car on the
track which passes on the town
side Of the station building to
the coal chute.

Sunday School
Convention.

The program Of Wednesday

morning service in order that
E. l.. Bass, Of Memphis, might
fill his his part on the program.

the actual work of organizing
and carrying on the Sunday
school was carried on in the
Southern Methodist house of
worship and on the program Ms
Fannie Bradberry, of Ruther
ford, and Miss Margaret Frost,
of Nashville, were leaders.
Wednesday night we had the
pleasure Of being present at the
Baptist church and can testify
that the program rendered was q
most enjoyable one. Rev. r. Il
Downing, of Newbern, changed
the assigned subject and preach
ed a splendid short sermon on
THE Power of Gods Word. "
Rev. Fl. A. Smoot, of Humboldt,
took the double subject, "a Lo-
cal church in the World--Why?
And its Sunday School q Helper
Howl" Mr.. Smoot did his COM
pick subject justice-and sever.
al present really paid him the
compliment of believing that he
did "Get Hurt" although he
was not cunning for reverend
gentleman from the wicked city
lof Memphis. The closing adj
dress on Wednesday night was
delivered by Rev. Il. P. Hurt, of
Memphis, who was billed on the
subject, THE New Testament

tury." Eliminating not more
than three sentences, the sermon
or address of Rev. Hurt could
hardly have been improved up

Murray Grissom, Maury
county farmer, while blowing
one day last week, saw the mail
man coming and continued to
look in the direction to see if
the servant of Uncle Sam put
any mail in that box, which he
could see from his position in
the field. He felt the plowlines
tighten. which attracted his at
tention toward the mules, and
looking just ahead the mules
had disappeared from view. The
earth had caved in and the mules
went down several feet--but
Mr.. Grissom did not learn the
particulars about the mules un.
til later when he got over his
scare, for when he looked and
saw no mules he forthwith went
out of that field at a rate of speed
which is said to have lowered
all previous records in Maury
county. When he did go back
it required his own work ard
that of several neighbors for
some hours to extricate them
from the hole into which they
they sunk.
