The shooting is mystery. There

sOst authoritative is that Kittrell,

Yclock. the two latter went out to a

Another report is that Kittrell ac'
shot himself while he was
sitting with the other gentlemen be
re the fire.
Whichever be the correct report, II
Is pretty we'll established fact that

franklin to operate upon him.
Mr.. Kittrell was very well known
Ill this county. He was born ant

WOULD AMEND THE
M'KELLAR BILL N
SOME PARTICULARS
;oL. WEBER DIsAPPRoVEs OF
THE ENDOWED FEATURE OF
BILL IN CONGRESS.
THINKS CHANGES WILL Be MADE
Columbia Man Thinks That Bill
Should Be More Elastic In It's Pro
visions, So That All Schools Would
Share in Governments Bounty.

At the meeting of the principals of
about fifty of the leading military
schools of the United States in Wash
ngton last week, a meeting which
was attended by Col. H. C. Weber, of
he Columbia Military Academy, by
far the livest topic of discussion was
the bill introduced in congress by
Mr.. Mcclellan, of Memphis, providing
for the establishment of endowed
military colleges or schools in each
state in the union.
In speaking of the meeting this
morning, Col. Weber said that the
spirit of the bill in attempting to
build up in this nation class of
trained military officers was COM
taended, but there were many fea-
lures of the bill which did not meet
the approval of the school principals
The most salient of these objections
| it is said, will be removed by Mr.. Gc
Kellar and the bill will be recon.
mended for passae
Under the provisions of the bill oi
the Memphis congressman, the gov.
ernment would appropriate $4,000
annually in each state, this sum to bt
supplemented by an appropriation Of
half that amount from each of them
for the endowment of 300 scholar.
ships Of $400, each in every one Of the
forty-eight states Of the union.
The headmasters Of the military
schools wanted a more elastic bill. Ii
some states there are half a dozen Of
more military schools. To pick out
any particular one and practically en-
dow it with 300 scholarships would
be to sound the death knell of the
rest of them. The feature that me-
the almost unanimous approval Of thu
headmasters was that instead of en-
dowing one particular school in eacl
state, the government should offer
the $4,000 as kind Of subsidy to al
Of the military schools in the state
Their charges need not necessarily
be the same in order to receive thu
benefits of the subsidy, the amount
of the scholarship simply applying tt
the expenses of the boy at the school
This would encourage all military in
stitutions in each state, and not ont
in particular.
Regarding the statement that start
ed in Washington to the effect tha
the Columbia Military Academy, the
Sewanee Military Academy and thu
East Tennessee Military Institute
would be consolidated, 1t seems tha
it was more a rumor than anythin,
else, although Col. Weber stated tina
II there was any consolidation don,
among these schools, it would surel.

FIGHTING FOR MORE GROUND
A Portion of the Lost Ground Has

Russians Reattack Town of Mlawa.

LONDON, Jan. 22.-The battle for
the trenches in Flanders and France
ontinues almost without cessation,
from the sea to the Swiss border.
In the mud of Flanders, the food
of the Aisne valley and the SHOWS CT
the Argonne and the Vosges, the sol
diers of Germany and the allied ma.
tions keep up continual fight to
hold what they possess and taking
something from that held by the enc
my.
According to a long French official
report today of the fighting during
the past two months, this method Of
siege operations has favored the al
les, who, while they have gained
ground on almost every part of the
front, have been forced to give way
in only one region-that of Soissops.
They are being put to test, however,
similar to that which obliged them to
retire from north of the Aisne, near
Scissor, because the Germans, real
izing the danger of their communica-
tions with Metz as result of the
French advance near Pont-a-Mousson,
have sent reinforcements there, and
have begun battle for the positions
they lost during the past week. The
Germans apparently have regained q
portion of them, and fighting for the
remainder continues
At other points, particularly St.
Mihiel and in Alsace, there have been
infantry engagements, but on the
whole the artillery continues to be
the busiest arm.
The Russians have renewed often.
sive operations against Mlawa, q
town that already has changed hands
often, and it appears they again will
attempt to envelop the German fore
es holding the line of the Mazurian
lakes and avenge themselves for the
defeat of Tannenburg.

HAMMONDIS SLATED
FOR POSTMASTER At
UNPLEASANT,
YOUNG CITY ATTORNEY SAID TO
BE PADGETT's CHOICE FOR
BROOKS JOB.
SECRETARY COUNTY COMMITTEE
legislative Nominee In 1912, viii, It
ls Understood, Be Recommended
for Appointment by Representative
From This District.

It is understood that Judge L. H.
Hammond, city attorney of Mt. Pleas
ant and secretary Of the Maury
county democratic executive commit
tee, will be appointed postmaster at
Mt. Pleasant. 1t was reported in Mt.
Pleasant this morning that letters
had been received from Representa-
tive Lemuel P. Padgtt in which he
stated that he had made up his mind
to recommend Mr.. Hammond for
the place. Mr.. Padgett's recommen-
dation in the matter is practically f.
nal and if reports are true it means
that the young barrister will lick
stamps at the phosphate city for the
next four years.
An effort was made to communi-
cate with Judge Hammond this morn
ling, but 1t was stated that he had
left the city and gone to Nashville.
However, from more than one source
the report of the seventh districts
decision in the matter was verified.
There have been a number of appli-
cants for the place and all Of them
have waged an active fight and a
great deal Of interest has been arous-
ed in the matter.
Judge Hammond, who 1t appears
probable will get the Office, is a
young lawyer Of the Mt. Pleasant
bar. He is regarded as one Of the
most eloquent young orators In the
county. When the opening Of the
Middle Tennessee Railroad was cele-
brated in Mt. Pleasant few years
ago he made an address that brought
him instant notice and popularity. In
1912 he was one of the regular demo
cratic nominees for the legislature
but was defeated. He was one Of the
original Rye supporters in the coun'
ty last year and took an active part
in the movement to reform and har
monize the party in the state and
county. Only a week ago he was
elected secretary of the reorganized
democratic party Of this county. He
is city attorney of Mt. Pleasant and
one of the leading lawyers Of the
place.

Tires

Suppose this All-Weather
tread-whfch is now double
thfck-were pared to the thin
ness Of the usual antf-skfd. Do
you think that the grips would
endure and the tread endure as
now? Or would it resist pune
ture like this matchless tread?
Suppose we used-as some do
one less ply of fabric. Suppose
the whole tire were made light
er. Could the tire stand use or
misuse as Goodyear tires do
now?
Suppose we omitted our other
exclusive features:
Our No-Rim-cut feature
Our "On.Air" cure to save
blowouts--
Our rubber rIvets to combat
loose treads-
Our 126-piano.wire base for
security.
All others do omit them. All Of
them are costly. One of them
our "On-Air" cure-costs us
$45O,O00 yearly.
But could Goodyear Fortified
Tires retain top place if we did
not give those extras?

What with topcOatS variOusly named
and classified with sports coats, motor
coats, tourist coats, and simply overall
coats, it takes a fine discrimination to
pick out just the coat best suited to
ones style and needs.
Sports and motor coats may be con-
sidered as one and the same thing.
Those chosen for motor wear are like
ly to be bit less vivid in color than
the sports coats. Tan or blue or green
are liked for them, while rose, canary,
mustard color, hunters green, French
blue, beige and combinations 1nclud-
ing strong color contrasts mark the
snappy style Of coats for other sports.
AS to the lines of the newest models,
they are f1aring, with narrow shout
ders and high convertible collars. For
motoring and sports pockets are ample
and much in evidence, belts conspicu-
GUS by their absence.
OF coats for the tourist there Is
wide variety In styles, some OF them
cut along the same general lines as
those just described, but often pocket
less. Others bear no resemblance to
sports coats Many of these topcoats
are made Of covert cloth, and very
smart models are shown in tussor silk,
prettily lined with Powered silk. They
shed dust and are as practical as they
are attractive. :.
