FOLLOWERS Of LEA
GREATLY PLEASED At
SPEECH HIRE MONDAY
EXPRESS CONFIDENCE THAT 1T
ADDED STRENGTH TO HIS
CAUSE.
he MT EVERY EXPECTATION
Pronounced BY Disinterested observ-
ers One Of the Ablest Deliverances
Ever Heard in Maury County Cam
paisn-EIection on Saturday.

To say that the followers of Luke
Lea in the county are pleased with
his effort here on Monday is to state
the matter in its mildest form. They
are simply delighted. The senator
passed their fondest expectations.
His speech was pronounced by many,
some Of the msupporterS Of other can
didates, to have been one of the
strongest and most effective that has
ever been delivered In Maury county.
He aroused his followers to a high
pitch of enthusiasm and unQuestion-
ably gained many supporters for his
cause.
The audience has seldom been ex.
ceeded here in numbers or In the
proportion of voters; its sympathy
with the speaker was very marked.
AS the result Of this speech the Lea
people are wearing a wide smile.
Their candidate received as magnif-
icent reception as his most enthu-
siastic supporter had ever expected
and he acquitted himself better even
than some of them hoped for.
With the campaign now but five
more days to live it is expected that
interest will increase very rapidly.
All Of the politicians are going to be
buster during the closing hours of
the contest than they have yet been.
In spite of the large personal follow
ing of two of the candidates and the
efforts made in benaIf of another, not
withstanding the fact that newspa-
pers of the state have devoted pages
to the campaign, 1t is yet true that
very large portion of the voters are
still apathetic. They have declined
to become aroused and it Is not be-
lieved that the record for big votes
in primaries in this county will be
reached. 1t should be remembered,
however, that there are practically no
restrictions thrown around the ballot
box and that most any white man In
the county is entitled to cast a bal
lot il he will be Of age year from
now.
The largest vote ever cast in a
white primary In this county was
that of 1908 between Carmack and
Patterson. The total vote was 4,617.
No such primary vote has been poll
ed since then and conservative poll
ticians are inclined to believe that
the vote next Saturday will fall 1000
short of this number. There are still
democrats in the county who declare
that they will not vote. No one can
estimate this class or who will be In
this class when the polls open next
Saturday.

JUDGE LINDSEY
GUILTY CONTEMPT
FINED $500 AND COSTS FOR RE-
FusING TO DISCLOSE INFoRMA-
TjoN IN MURDER TRIAL.

DENVER. Col, Nov. 16.-Ben b.
Lindsey, Judge Of Denvers juvenile
court, was held guilty Of contempt
of court and fined $500 and costs by
Judge John A. Perry in the district

ed for an appeal The case grew out
of Lindsey's refusal to disclose infor-
nation in the trial of Mrs. Berta
Wright on a charge of murder.
Judge Lindsey claimed the informa-
ton came to him in privileged man
ner through the confession of Neal
Wright, u years old, during the trial.
An information charging the boy with
the murder of his father because of
an alleged confession made at his
mothers trial still is pending in the
juvenile court.

FIGHTING BEFORE
BABUNA PASS
5000 SERHlANS ATTACKED BY
10000 1ULGARlANS-FORMER
FALL BACK.

MILAN, Italy, Nov. 16.-An account
of the recent fighting before Babuna
Pass, in southern Serbia, is forward.
ed by a war correspondent of the
Corriere Della Zera. The Bulgarians,
the report says, we're 10000 strong
the Serbians 5000.
The report continues:
mo resistance being possible fer
the Serbians on open ground, they
fell back from Veles and lsvor and
set up q oefense where the road mar
rows near Abdi Pasa, at an eleva-
ton of 1000 feet. The 10000 Bulga.
rians were grouped between Veles
and Babuna Pass, supported by pow
erful artillery. The Serbs were hard
pressed and for a time it seemed as
though they must give way, which
would have meant the loss not only
of the army but of Monastir. The
situation was changed, however, by
the antics adopted by the Serbian
commander, Col. Vassic He permit
ted the Bulgarians to advance as far
as the Perlipe road and then fell upon
them with all his forces, smashing
through their first and second lines
with the bayonet and driving the Bull
garians beyond Kotsiak.
"On the following days the Bulga-
rians attempted to recapture the lost
positions, but the Serbians, though
poorly supplied with food and muni.
tions, were able to hold them back"

son-The Law Is Giving General
Satisfaction.

Sportsmen of city and county are
going to the fields and woods these
days. The open season on quail com.
menced on Monday but there were 50
many other attractions that very few
portsmen went out after the birds
But they made up for lost time on
Tuesday. They were all over the
county.
Generally the sportRmen report
good bags on the flrst day and the
opinion is expressed that there are
more birds than there were last year
Several hunters on Tuesday secured
fifteen birds. This morning a mum.
ber went to the country.
While last winter was an exceed.
ingly hard one the spring and sum-
mer weather was favorable for the
growth of the birds and as a result
the crop is goodly one. The dry
spring and summer was a decided ad.
vantage for all kinds of poultry and
birds.
Sportsmen cannot kill more than
twenty quail in any one day and the
pot hunter is absolutely forbidden.
The game laws are being more and
more generally observed in the coun.
ty. The new game law seems to have
given more satisfaction than any so
far placed upon the statute books
for the preservation of game.
