COUNTY CONTEST
BEING TALKED OF

GRIFFIN WILL HAVE EASY
SAILING NEXT YEAR

Although the election IS long way
off, over year, the politically inclin-
ed folk love to speculate on what will
and what may not happen at an cleo
ton Already there is little discus
sion of the county races next year,
when three officers are to be elected,
the trustee, sheriff and tax assessor
The last named will get four year
term and the others will be chosen
for two years. Trustee Adkisson and
Sheriff Griffin, it almost goes without
saying, will be candidates for sec
ond term and at this time it looks like
they will have easy sailing. There is
not suspicion of opposition for eth
err. Both have served most accepta-
bly, and both are popular. There will
likely be a lively scramble for asses
sor. Ben Cowley, the incumbent. is
serving his second term and will, 1t is
understood, not stand for another
term. In that event the woods viii
doubtless be full Of candidates.

STATEMENT
FROM CAPT. MERONEY
ABOUT CONTROVERSY
MAKES REPLY TO THE RECENT
INTERVIEW OF INSPECTOR
SCOTT.
Difference ABOUT The FACTS
Claims That He Properly Buried
81 Horse to a Depth Of Four Feet and
Denies That Any Complaint Was
Made to the Hog Cholera Office.
Thursdays Daily.)

Capt. ]. N. Meroney today gave out
another statement in reply to that re-
Gently made by Inspector Scott about
the controversy on the burial of the
carcass Of a horse that died on his
place. There seems to be an issue. of
facts ibetween Capt .Meroney and In.
spector Scott and both have present.
ed the facts as each sees them. Capt.
Meroney,,s. statement follows:
Ia your issue of June 4th Mr.. Scott
in his card insists that did him
grave injustice in my letter of May
9th, in my report Of the shameful
treatment given me by him in conse.
Quence of my burying my old family
horse instead of burning him. gave
only a. statement OF facts, and II the
plain facts do~him a grave injustice,
he should be careful that such facts
should never show up again. But in
his card he makes some mistatements
Of facts.
He says that on complaint of neigh
bors he went to my place and found
/ had partially buried a dead horse,
when in fact he was we'll and deeply
buried. Every person living within
quarter Of mile of the spot where
my horse was buried will swear that
they never detected a smell of decay
ing flesh, not one offensive odor was
ever noticed by any of them as COM
ing from the buried carcass, and no
complaint was made on that account
by my neighbors. do not know how
Mr.. Scott got his information that
my horse was dead and buried, Meth
er do care, for | did nothing secret
ly, did my work in broad daylight
without any effort at concealment and
my horse had been dead and buried
two weeks before Mr.. Scott had me
arrested and there was certainly no
complaint from my near neighbors
He says the horse was not covered
with eighteen inches of dirt. l say
that a vault was dug in the firm clay
in the bottom Of a big old gulley to a
depth of four feet sufficiently large
to accommodate the trunk Of the
horse with his head and all his legs

ANOTHER CHANCE
FOR EXPOSITION
ANYONE SELLING 500 MARRIAGE
LICENSES BEFORE NOV. /
WILL GET ONE.

d. Cupid and Clerk Lipscomb have
dissolved partnership, for a time at
least. The former has not a word to
say and the latter can offer no sug.
gestion Of explanation. Why the lit
tie Love God has deserted the county
court clerks Office, his favorite abode
for all these years, is beyond the ex.
PLANTATION of Mr.. Lipscomb. 1t is a
fact, however. Marriages are almost
as scarce in Maury county as Russian
victories are in the east.
The genial clerk is anxious for i'm.
provement and in order to encourage
a revival in the ancient and honorable
institution of matrimony, he has made
this very liberal offer. To any per.
son, young or old, man or woman.
boy or girl, who will sell by Nov. l
next 500 marriage licenses in Maury
county, he will give a free trip to ths
San Francisco exposition. Now this
assuredly ought to get results.

How Gasoline Engines Work.

In the practical operation of Il gaso-
line engine there are several parts,
txch characterized by particular
cN-.nt. The cylinder is charged by an
OpIstroke of the piston, creating 81
vacuum behind it and drawing in the
mixture of air and gasoline gas formed
In the carburetor. The charge is then
compressed by the return stroke of the
piston, which act secures complete car
buriZation of the contained air and re-
duces the mixture to the proper condi-
ton to be kindled by the igniting
spark or other source of firing. This
causes il to explode. or TO expand sud
denly and with great effect, and drive
the piston outward again. The fourth
stroke. which Is the one Immediately
following the explosion. Is known as
the exhaust stroke from the fact that
the piston. moving back again in the
cylinder. eXpels the products of COM
bustion through the exhaust valve.
This process completed, the parts are
In position for repetition Of the proc
ess, the valves for admitting gasoline
gas to the cylinder being opened again.
