Under the old law only 500 could

The amendment abolishes this
restriction, While the Postal

by the fact that more than half

short of meeting the full demands

Big Fire in
Monteagle.
Cumberland House Reduced to Ashes. WORK of
Incndary who is Caught

The once famous Cumberland
Hotel was discovered on fire at
Monteagle, last Sunday night
about 10 o'clock, by some of the
citizens there and before they
could save anything it was re-
duced to ashes. It was the pro-
perty of fellow by the name of
Mr.. Williams, but had been
vacant for some time, as it only
run IN the summer time. Mr..
Williams carried good deal of
insurance on this building and |
guess wanted some ready cash
and thought that by burning the
building he would get the insur-
ance. He hired car in Chatta-
nooga Sunday evening about 3
o'clock and started for Monteagle
on his desperate mission. Arriv.
ing in Monteagle that night he
told his Chauffeur to wait for him
at the corner by the Fairmont
College as he had a little bust
ness to attend to, and was gone
about 15 minutes and returning
to his car, told his chauffeur to
drive for Chattanooga, but alas
for him when they had gotten
some distance out of Monteagle
the car broke down. Mr.. Schild
and Anderegg who had been
summoned to Monteagle to cut
the electric wires away from the
burning building passed them on
the road and asked them if they
needed any assistance and they
hid their face behind their hands
and said no. Schild and Ander-
egg drove on to Monteagle and
told Mr.. Brosi Marugg and Mar
vim Henley about seeing the car,
they proceeded to go and investi-
gate, and coming up towhere the
car was, asked the occupant of
the car if his name wasn't Will
liams, and he said no his name
was johnson, and he was from
Nashville. So this still aroused
Brosis curiosity, as he knew Mr..
Williams when he was summer
ing in Monteagle. Brosi got
busy and Sheriff Handy
was summoned, and pro-
ceeded to place Williams and his
chauffeur under arrest and after
giving the Chauffeur the third de-
gree he told all about it.
Mr.. Williams was tried before
Esq. Tidman Monday and bound
over to court under $4,000 bail
and to yet hasn't made it.

Summer School of the Middle
Tennessee State Normal.

The Summer School Of the
Middle Tennessee State Normal
opened June 5th with a large at
tendance from the different Sec
tions of the State.
Tennessee's greatest need is
better prepared teachers. The
State Normal works twelve
months in the year to supply this
need. During the Summer
Schools one hundred different
courses are offered covering
every phase of school work. This
institution is not run for profit
making but to supply a better
equipped teaching force for the
public schools of the State. Those
counties are best served that
most largely send their teachers.
Last year Grundy County won
the banner for having the largest
percentage of its teachers present
of any county in middle Tenn,
except Rutherford. The first
days enrolment indicates Rob-
ertson County will win the ban
ner for attendance the presett'
term.

public schools subjects to meet
the needs of the teachers who de-
sire to take this examination.
Grundy County had 26 teach
ers in attendance during the last

ner for attendance. How many
will you have in attendance this
year.

CAR SHORTAGE MADE
RAILWAY ASSOCIA-
TON is COOPERATING WITH
COMMERCE COMMISSION.

Atlanta, Ga, March 2.-Energetic
teps for the relief OF tho car short
age on Western railroads ave recon-
Iended in q letter which has hecn
| prepared after exhaustive study of
| the situation by the committee on car
! service Of the American Railway AS
Isolation and forwarded to the In
t2rstate Commerce Commission and
10 each railroad in the United States.
The Southeast, so far, has not suf-
fered very aCutely from car shortage
or from congestion at the eastern
ports, but as the car famine in the
West must necessarily reflect itself
III this section sooner or later, the
Southeastern railroads have been
closely watching conditions for the
nation as a whole.
Two and half million freight cars
are required to handle the traffic OF
this country and as a summary of car
SURPRISES and shortages compiled by
the American Railway Association on
January l showed the net surplus
was only 21,485 cars, counting all the
cars in shops and under repair, the
danger to the commerce of the coun-
try is SO manifest that the recOmmen-
d2tiOns OF this committee are of uni
vcrsal interest and Importance.
1t is expected that salutary results
VIII follow from the policy outlined
by the committee, which is composed

G. l.. Peck, vice president Pennsyl-

Their recommendation are as fol

On the subject of the shortage of cars
for grain loading in the West and the
surplus OF cars at the Atlantic sea
board and New England.
1T is apparent from the testimony
and from the location statements of
the Western lines that, generally
speaking. they have on their lines
less cars for grain loading than they
arc entitled to have under car serv-
ra,les by reason of their owner
ship, - that many of these cars
are now III d under load ct the At

is also apparent that the Eastern

business and the general increase in
