ORIGIN OF FIsE is UN kONk
Three Hundred Head OF Stock Taken
From Blazing Structure-Barn and
Three SiIos are Destroyed-Cotton
Seed Meal Worth $1,000 Burned.

With a loss of approximately $500,
the barn and silos on the Natchez
Trace Ranch, the property of George
T. Hughes, Jr. and Will Green, were
totally destroyed by fire of unknown
origin on Wednesday night.
The fire originated in the large barn
and was discovered by Will Green,
who lives on the place. 1t had gained
such Roadway that its control was i'm
possible. Three hundred head of
stock, however, were taken from the
burning structure. Three silos, situat-
ed near the barn, quickly took fire
and were consumed.
The barn that was destroyed was
new and valued at $4,000. A large
amount of corn was stored in the bars.
The loss on the corn will be $500. Cot
ton seed meal to the value of $1,000
was destroyed. One hundred tons OF
hay, worth $1,000, we're burned. The
three silos and small number of hogs
brings the total loss up to $500.
Natchez Trace Ranch is located on
the range in Lewis county, not far
from the Maury county line. 1t COM

made gains, the net being slightly in
favor of the republicans, who increase
their membership from thirty.nine to
forty-three.
Reports from practically every die.

democrats have surely elected 2lS
members out of a grand total Of 49,
which would give them a majority Of
one over all opposition. If the three

members or five majority over all op

have two and the socialists and indie

TURKf Us BRINGING

At TWENTY CENTS
ANOTHER PRICE RECORD BRok
EN- IN THE MAURY COUNTY
MARKETS.
CROP WILL Be RATHER sHOR |
But An Average Bird Will Bring The
Farmer as Much Money as he Got
For a Shoat a Few Years Ago
Toms Worth More Than IS Each.

Another price record in Maury coun.
ty has been broken. Dealers in the
county on Thursday commenced pay.
ing twenty cents for turkeys, which Is
the highest price that any firm now
engaged in the produce business in
this county ever paid
W. S. Beasley, of the Columbia Pro
duce company, said this morning that
twenty cents marked a new record
for turkeys. THE highest that we
have ever paid farmers for the great
national bird before this year was
eighteen cents. That was never paid
for many. In fact, twelve and half
cents was considered a very high
price Twenty cents means that the
average turkey, if it is at all fat and
was not Matched off too late, should
bring around $500 for the birds should
average at this time about fifteen
pounds. The two-year-old Toms will
probably average around rs pounds,
which at twenty cents, would make
them bring S. That is as much as a
fine fat eve would bring two or three
years ago" Ill
mo, never before" said E. J. Park,
of the Culleoka Produce company,
when asked if that firm had ever paid
as much as twenty cents for turkeys
1T is new mark, but is not out Of
proportion to the prices that farmers
are getting for everything else. A
turkey this year will bring as much
money as the farmers few years ago
got for their shoats."
The only trouble about the situation
is that the turkey crop Of the county
is short, shorter than 1t has been in
many, many years. The early season
was not favorable and the rains in
July we're bad for the young birds.

R. G. KERENS DIES
AT PHILADELPHIA
Former Republican Leader and
transportation Pioneer is
Dead at Age Of "a.
HAD EXTENSIVE INTERESTS

St. Louis, Sept. 4.-Richard {.
Kerens of St. Louis, former ambassa-
dor to Austria, died at the home OF
his daughter in Philadelphia today,
according to dispatch received here.
Richard c. Kerens of St. Louis,
who was ambassador to Austria
Hungary during the administration OF
President Taft, was for more than
quarter of a century one OF the re-
publican leaders of Missouri, and in
that period was high in the inner
councils OF the party nationally.
Pioneer in Transportation.
Mr.. Kerens was pioneer in the
transportation field. In 1872 he
moved passengers, mail and express
from the western terminals OF rail-
roads through hostile Indian country
| to frontier settlements. In 1874 he
became contractor for the Southern
Overland mail service, transporta-
ton service by stagecoach covering
more than 1,400 miles. At that time
he lived in San Diego, Cal.
When the development of railroads
eliminated the wagon and stagecoach
as factor in transcontinental traffic
Mr.. Kerens settled in St. Louis and
became active in politics and in the
development OF railroads. He was
interested in the Atchson, Topeka &
Santa Fe: the St. Louis Southwestern
Cotton Belt), the Los Angeles Ter
minal, the San Pedro, Los Angeles &
Salt Lake and the West Virginia
Central & Pittsburgh. He also had
extensive mining interests in Arizona,
New Mexico and Colorado.
Mr.. Kerens was born in Ireland in
1912 and was brought to America in
Infancy and reared in Jackson county,
Iowa. His father died when he was
child and he began in early life the
work of supporting his mother and
sisters. When the civil war broke
out he entered the union army and
was assigned to the transportation
department,
Enters National Politics.
Mr.. kerens first entered national
politics when he was elected mem
Der of the republican national COM
inittee in 1884, and in the campaign Of
that year and four years later he serv-
ed on the national executive commit
tee. He was reelected to the repub-
iican national committee in 1888, 1895
and 1900. In January Of 1897 he was
nominated by the republican legisla-
tive caucus OF Missouri for the United
States senate. As the legislature was
democratic he was defeated. Two
years later he again was the senator
ial nominee OF the republican legisla.
tive caucus
When Missouri went republican iii
1904, and the republican legislature
met in 1905, Mr.. Kerens, though not
the caucus nominee, received large
vote for senator. A deadlock ensued,
and the election went to William
Warner OF Kansas City.
| In December, 1909, President Taft
appointed Mr.. Kerens ambassador to
Austria, post which he held four
years.
