Assessor Weathers comes to the
front today and asks his fellow
democrats for another term. He
has held the Office several terms
and has given satisfaction to u
large majority of Che taxpayers.
This is evidenced by his successive
elections and the majorities he has
received.
His previous terms have made
him thoroughly posted on the value
of property and the duties of ns-
SCISSOR. His record is before his
party and upon that he asks it's en-.
dorscment at the primary election.
If nominated, his opponent will
have to go some to beat him under
the wire at the November election.

TURKISH JUSTICE

An amusing story of oriental
justice comes from the arrest Of
an Austrian subject Of twenty years
residence in Jatfa for insulting the
Turkish flag. The Austrian had
walked about The streets with the
flag wrapped around one shoe. As
II was clear that he wore the flag

the Turks and as the Austrian con-
sui with the backing Of a powerful
government demanded the name

DRUNKEN ROW }! BULLION

There was a drunken row in Bul.

Monday morning that resulted in
"Micky" O'Donnell getting badly
beaten. From what we Can learn,
it seems that O'Donncll and n man
named Rowland we're sleeping to-
gcher in the formers cabin. Dur
ing the night O'Donnell was awak-
cned by some n throwing rocks
against the cabin. He went out to
stop the racket snd on his return
in the dark made some threats,
presumably against the persons
that rocked his cabin. This woke
up Rowlands, who thinking the
threats were against him, seized q
club and struck O'Donnell on the
head and threw him out Of the
cabin. 0'DoDncIl then went across
the street to Dagg s cabin where
another mixup occurred which end.

in stopping the flow Of blood and
DR.. Harper Of Carlin was sent for.

President and Manager Likely to

NASHVILLE, TENN, Jan. IA
~ President Hirsig and Manager

NASHVILLE, TENN, Jan. II
~ President Hirsig and Manager
Schwartz are both likely to
resign their offices within the next
few days, thereby bringing about
peace in the camp of the Nashville
club At present it looks as though
the only way success can come to the
Vols is by both Withdrawing.
At a meeting of the stockholders of
the Nashville baseball club held here
last night. the friends of President
Hirsig controlled and elected a board
of directors with a ma jority favorable
to the president The board of di-
rectors took no action as to electing a
president and manager, but will hold
a meeting within the next few days
for that purpose.
1t is understood that a harmonious
basis will be reached by the probable
resignation of President Hirsig and
the selection of another manager
rather than Bill Schwartz.
Chancellor Allison yesterday after
noon dissolved an Injunction secured
by William G. Schwartz, manager of
the local baseball club, preventing
President w. G. Hirsig from voting
26 shares of stock of the association
at the annual meeting here Tuesday
night. It was shown that President
Hirsig had rightfully purchased the
stock from DR.. w. B. Lee and that
he had been voting it for the past
eight months. Chancellor Allison held
that the injunction granted Mr..
Schwartz was invalid.
