MEETING
MAY OPEN CONGRESS
FIGHT IN DISTRICT
CONVEYING OF COMMITTEE AT
NASHVILLE FRIDAY STARTS
THE GoSSIPS.
WILL THERE Be A REUNION
Speculation Rife As to Wether or Not
Overtures viii Be Made to the In.
dependent Committee Of Which
Hugh Crockett Is Chairman.

What will the regular" congress
sional committee do at its meeting
in Nashville tomorrow? That is the
question that is causing some specu-
lation among those who dearly love
to talk politics in this section.
The committee has been called by
the former chairman to meet at the
Maxwell House in Nashville tomor-
row for the purpose of organizing
and to take such action on the con-
gressional situation as may be deem
ed advisable. This may mean moth
ing and it may mean a good deal. 1t
may be that the committee will take
no action, but there are those who be-
lieve that 1t will.
But what will the committee do?
That is the rub. Will it make over
lures to the independent or Padgett
congressional committee of which
Hon. Hugh Crockett, of Franklin, is
the chairman, or will it ignore that
committee?
1t will be recalled that the "regu-
lar" congressional committee Is COM
posed of the regular" county chair
men from each county of the district.
On the other hand the independent"

of one member from each county of
the district and were elected by the
democratic congressional convention
held at Franklin in June, 1912, when
Mr.. Padgett was nominated for con-
gress.
The member of the Independent"
committee from this county is Hon.
J. c. VOORHEES,, while Hon. Thomas H.
PEBBLES is the regular" chairman or
member of his committee from Maury
county.
In the fifth congressional district,
where conditions are similar to those
that exist in this district, the reg
ular" committee has been making
overtures to the independent" or
Houston committee. The regulars"
propose primary with the only quail
ification that the voters must be dem
ocrats, GALL shades and varieties be-
ing classed as democrats) and must
support the congressional nominee.
This is the old qualification that OBJ
tanned before the party split. Now
will the regulars" tomorrow follow
suit in the seventh district?
is expected that, should the reg,
ulars" take action in the race the
congressional race would open up
soon. It is generally understood that
Mr. Padgett, who is serving his sew
enth term, will again be a candidate
and Clarence W. Turner, who was the
regular" nominee two years ago, is
regarded as likely entry. Grady
Jones, candidate four years ago, is
/ again in the field, and Hon. Newton
H. White, speaker of the senate, is
mentioned as a possibility, although

BRITISH POLITICS
BRITISH SECRETARY OF WAR
ASSUMES ROLE OF "GoAT" FOR
FELLOW MINISTER'S.
GUARANTEE IS WITHDRAWN
All Talk of Compromise on Home
Rule Bill for ireland Is Suspended.
Force to Be Used in UIster-Parlia-
ment In Uproar.

LONDON, March 26.-The govern
ment today published its promised
statement of it's dealings with the re-
voting officers of the Third Cavalry
brigade, and the house of commons
held another heated and disorderly
session. Between the documents pre-
sented and the various statements
drawn from cabinet ministers vital
facts of the affair were made clear.
They reveal comedy or tragedy of
errors perpetuated by Col. Seely, Sec
rotary of state for war, and Sir Ar
thur Paget, commanding troops in
Ireland.
Col. Seely took all the blame on
himself. He frankly declared he had
made a great mistake. His written
assurance to Gen. Hugert Cough that
the government must retain it's
rights to use all the forces of the
crown in Ireland or elsewhere to
maintain order and support the civil
powers in the ordinary execution OF
their duty, but has no intention what
ever of taking advantage of this right
to crush political opposition to the
policy or the principles of the home
rule bill' was given without the
knowledge of the cabinet and contra
ny to it's policy.
The war secretary rendered his res
ignation to Mr. Asquith, but the pre-
mier refused to accept it. The gov
eminent has withdrawn Col. Seely's
guarantees according to a statement
of Viscount Morley in the house of
lords, and Sir Edward Grey told the
house of commons that the govern
ment's decision would be made known
to Gen. Cough tomorrow. Thus the
situation with respect to Gen. Cough
and his fifty-nine comrades, who sent
in their papers, is still in a state of
suspense.
The most important relations of the
day were that the government did
plan an important military and naval
demonstration on Ulster, Winston
Spencer Churchhill first lord of the
admiralty, confirmed reports that he
had ordered the third battle squadron
and torpedo flotilla to Irish waters,
but explained that when the military
arrangements had been carried out he
countermanded the orders by wire
less, an explanation which the union
lists received with jeers.
The blunder Gen. Paget made ap-
pears to have been in giving practi-
cal ultimatum to officers of the caval-

WAGES 0FLABORERS
HAVE INCREASED
FARM WORKERS GAINED MORE
IN LAST THIRTY YEARS THAN
CITY BROTHERS.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Wages
ol farm laborers have increased more
rapidly than those of the city work
men during the last twenty years, a
department of agriculture investiga-
uon has revealed. During the past
year the pay of the farm hand has in
creased 21a per cent; the increase has
been II per cent in the last four
Years, and SO per cent since 1902.
While the inquiry, the results Of
winch We're made public today, dealt
particularly with the United States,
III most other countries also farm
wages increased rapidly. The inves-
usators discovered, however, that
'"Le wages went up about 81 per
cent from 1900 to 1910, farm land
'a'Ies nearly doubled in that decade,
showing, they say, that in the distri-
o't.n Of proceeds from farming oper-
8hous a larger proportion now goes to
capital account and less to labor &C.
count than formerly.
ne wide difference in wage rates
al different sections of the country,
winch the report pointed out, is grad

considerable variance.

Season for the Best of His Get on
Exhibition in September.
Correctly oil,

Correctly I'll.
This is the handsome horse that
will head the stud of beautiful Fair
view Farm this season. Elem R.
sbeegog, the proprietor, is justly
proud of this magnificent piece Of
horse flesh, bred and raced in Maury
county, the home of the PAGER. He
makes for him the claim that he is
the fastest horse that has ever taken
a record on the South Side Park
tract. Many will remember the CRU
cling race in which he defeated a
large and classy field of side wheel
ers in a racking finish.
Correctly is one of the most royalty
bred horses in the county. He is a
son of Directly, 2:03A, out of Sally
Hal, daughter of old Brown Hal,
2:1212. 1t will be seen by this that
he combines the blood of two of the
greatest pacing families that have
ever looked through racing bride.
1t is probably the greatest cross of
pacing blood that has ever been tried.
Correctly combines this in an admir-
able degree. He is not only bred with
purple blood in his veins, but he is a
horse that has stood the acid test of
racing No one who saw the memora-
Bile race at South Side Park will ever
doubt that he has racing ability of
the highest order in him. He is
game, never knows when the mile
gets too long for him, and never
quits in the stretch.
He is not only horse of exception
al breeding, but he is ideally built for
great sire. He stands fifteen hands,
three inches high, is a dark brown in
color, and weighs 1,175 pounds. His
colts, the oldest of which are only
three years old, are models of beau
ty, serviceableness and type. They
bear his stamp to a remarkable de-
gree. They are gentle, ride and drive
well, and can be handled by women
as we'll as by men.
Mr.. Sheegog will hold a show of his
colts this fall in Columbia and will Of
fer prizes to the best filly and horse
colts of his get on exhibition. He is
constantly receiving inquiries for
them, and they sell at good prices.
Last year he sold three for $500.

TELEPHONE CO. WILL
/ MOVE INTO THE NEW
QUARTERS BY MAY |.
ABSOLUTELY FIRE PROOF AND
COMPLETE IN EVERY DEPART.
MENT Is NEW STRUCTURE.
DROP SYSTEM WILL Be INSTALLED
Service Can Be Given in Four to Five
seconds-onIy New Apparatus to
Be used-ProbabIy Most Up.to-Date
Building in the City.

Probably the most up-to-date build
ing in the city when it is completed
will be the new two story home of the
Cumberland Telephone Co. on South
Garden street. 1t is estimated that It
will cost between $4,000 and $4,000,
exclusive of the furniture and other
fittings that will go into it.
The building is an architectural
gem. 1t is a model in all its appoint
ments and method of construction.
On the first floor will be situated the
commercial office, the general manag.
er's office, the plant storage room, and
large space in the center for the
public. In the rear will be the plant
foreman's office. A rear door leads
to the basement, where the heating
plant of the latest design will be stu.
ated.
On the second floor there will be
the operators room, large terminal
room for storage batteries, dynamos,
and other electrical equipment, and
rest room for the operators off duty.
The latter will be one of the features
of the building. 1t will be fitted up
with handsome appointments and ele-
CANT fixtures. To the rear of it will
be several Individual steel lockers
for the use of the operators. About
twenty operators will be employed.
The chief feature that will appeal to
the user of the phone, however, will
be the installation of new switch
boards and the new drop, or common
battery system. This will enable the
company to give the public four or
five second service. This is practi-
cally instantaneous service. All that
will be necessary will be to raise the
receiver and the operator will an
swer. This Is the same service that
is given in all the large cities.
The building will be absolutely fire.
proof. All the windows will have wire
glass panes in them, probably the
greatest preventative of fires that has
ever been invented. The electric
light wires are encased in iron conlu-
it's that will cut off all source Of FIRE
from that quarter.
The exterior of the buildin will pre-
sent a very handsome appearance. j
will be finished in a buff colored bri.K
that is extremely beautiful A jut-
ting cornice from the top gives an ar
tistic finish to the structure.
1t is the present intention of the
telephone company to move into its
new quarters about May /. The
greater part of the outside work has
been practically completed, but it will
take a month or more to finish up all
the details and install the switch
boards.

Maxa Of Graat sinuara.

The celebrated impresario Schur-
mann once said it was a precarious
matter to draw up an agreement with
q star. for each one had some strange
little provisos which he insisted on In
serting.
In one contract Tamagno exacted
that he should be allowed thirty seven
candles each night in his dressing
room. Schurmann was amazed that
even a great tenor should require so
much illumination, but he consented.
When Schurmann visited Tamagno's
dressing room he found only two can
dies aIght On another occasion he
discovered only one. Inquiries led to
the discovery that the provident tenor
saved up the other candles and sold
them at a profit
Schurmann said that a small boy
whose father was a great friend OF
Caruso's, having asked the tenor for a
signed photograph, received as a reply,
Certainly; go to my photographer; he
will sell you photograph, and IL you
bring that to me ! will write on 1t

her, she hits back, and a good set-to

enter.
"Wif, com in." says Noah. why

Finally her sons bring her in by

for his welcome he gets a whacking,
which makes him exclaim:
