SOME POSTS OPEN
FOR LAME DUCKS"
0irectorship of Mint and Ambas-
sador to Germany Said to
Be PIumS.

Realization that today's elections are
going to put some powerful Congress
sionaI aids of the Administration in the
lame duck" class. has started specu-
lation as to how some Of the defeated
candidates are going to be taken care
Of by the Administration. Usually this
is done by appointing these men to va
cancies in the Government service.
The most prominent position now va
cant is that of Director of the Mint.
formerly held by George E. Roberts. a
Republican. who has resigned. The po-
sition is but one degree lower than .
Cabinet office and pays a salary Of Sc 900
year. President Wilson has named
no successor to Mr.. Roberts. 1t is gen
orally understood he has purposely held
IL open with the intention of offering IL
10 some prominent Wilson Democrat de-
feated in today's election.
1t is believed il may be offered TO
Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer OF
Pennsylvania, whose chances for cleo
ton to the United States Senate to
succeed Boies Penrose have not ap-
reared particularly roseate in the
closing days of the campaign.
President Wilson feels under heavy
Obligations to Mr.. Palmer, who. next
TO Secretary of State William Jen-
nings Bryan, did more than any other
WilsCnite to force through his NOM
nation for the Presidency in 1912.
In the House Mr. Palmer has been
a loyal supporter of the Administra-
tion, and recently the Presidents IN
debtedness to the Pennsylvania
Quaker was made to appear ever big
ger by the publication OF proofs tend
ing to show that at one stage in the
balloting at the Baltimore convention
Mr.. Palmer turned down compromise
proposal 10 make him the party nom
inee in 1912.
Whether Mr.. Palmer would care to
take the place is another matter. His
friends have always contended that he
should have been picked by the Presi-
dent for a place in the Cabinet; but
while the rumor frequently recurs that
Secretary of State Bryan will resign his
ortfolio before the end of the Wilson
Administration. no vacancy exists at
the present time in the Cabinet Mr..
Palmer is generally rated as a man Of
wealth. and, as such, might want a
diplomatic post.
The election of Ambassador James W
Gerard to the United States Senate from
New York would leave the Berlin post
cpen. The embassy at Berlin. next to
that at the court of st. James. is con-
sidered the most desirable. II is. there

defeated today. be given the choice of

AZ all events, IL seems probable that
both places will go to a Democratic

COLUMBIA MULE CO,
GETS BIG CONTRACT
FROM THE BRITISH
JOUR ENGLISH COUSINS WANT A
LARGE NUMBER FOR USE
IN THE WAR.
TWELVE BUYERS IN The field
Mules Must Be From Five to Ten
Years Old and Range in Height
From Fifteen Hands to Fifteen
Hands Three Inches-Fair Price.

Frank Dale, the manager of the
Columbia Mule Company, has receiv-
ed very large order from the Brit
ish government and has sent out
twelve buyers over the South to get
them within the specified time, No.
vember 15
The order for the mules was re-
ceived Monday, and as the contract
is large one, he at once got his buy
ers together and sent them to West
Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama
Mr.. Dale will handle those which are
brought to the local stock yards.
The order is for mules between
five and ten years old and standing
not less than fifteen hands nor more
than fifteen hands three inches under
the standard without shoes. They
will be used by the British govern
ment in the war against the Ger
mans. They must be aged mules.
This specification will enable the
farmers of this and adjoining coun-
ties to dispose of the mules that they
have been working for several years
at prices that will enable them to
realize profit upon them.
Mr. Dale is very anxious that the
farmers of this county shall take ad-
vantage of this offering to dispose Of
their surplus stock. There has been
no demand to date for mules of any
kind In fact, sugar and cotton
mules, the kind that have been in
heavy demand every fall for southern
shipment, have been complete drug
on the market this year on account
of the paralyzed condition of the cot
ton market. This contract from the
British government will clear out a
world of them and help the farmers
to realize on them.
| Of course the buyers will be una
BILE to pay the price that some of the
top mules have brought heretofore,
but the farmers will be offered
enough to dispose of them at good
profit.

NATION GIVEN,

WASHINGTON. OF. 22.-Great
Britain's determination to keep from
Germany cargoes Of Illuminating oil,
which might be made fuel for army
motor trucks, Zeppelins and aero.
planes, is responsible for the seiz-
ure OF American Standard OIL steam
ers by British cruisers. This fact
was developed in conference here to.
day after the state department had
requested release Of the tanker John
D. Rockefeller
The Standard Oil Company has ask.
ed the state department to secure the
release of two more Of its ships, the
Brindilla and Plature. Like the
Rockefeller they were captured by
British warships while bound from
American ports to neutral countries,
carrying Illuminating oil. Only in
the case of the Rockefeller, however
has the department felt warranted in
taking immediate steps. 1t was I'm.
der the American flag before the war
began, and is therefore not subject
to questions which might arise in
connection with the other two, which
were changed from foreign registry
under the recent act of congress.
