said it is likely the garages will be
made to close just as the drug stores
and other places of business. He said
he could see no more harm in buying
cigar than in buying ten gallons of
gasoline for a joy ride. Then, too,
there is a certain class of people who
are able to buy drinks and cigars at
all times of the day Sunday, while 9TH
ers are not. Mr.. Cherry said that he
did not believe in this distinction be-
ing made, The Sunday closing law he
said is but relic of the old days when
the open saloon was here, and laws
were made to see that the saloons
closed, even the combination grocery
and saloon. The changes in the law
have not kept pace with the changing
times, and no mention whatever is
made of garages, soft drink stands
and other places of business which
were unknown when the law was
framed. Mr.. Cherry said he had visit
ed a number of local business men al
ready, and had found a sentiment ia
voring Sunday opening, but before any
fixed policy is announced, other bust
ness men will be interviewed.
Law enforcement will be another
forte of the incoming administration.
Mr.. Cherry said that he would have
police powers after his Inauguration
as mayor, and would be with the po-
lice force until "bed time" each night.
Merciless publicity is advocated by
Mayor-elect Cherry for the cure of
most evils. He said it was his pur-
pose to give the public due notice of
all arrests, either rich or poor, white
or black. No matter if the richest
man of the city is arrested for non OBJ
servance of the traffic regulations it
will be promptly reported, just as if
he were negro laborer.

ES POLICY OF INCOMING BOARD
OF MAJOR AND ALDERMEN.
the SUNDAY CLOSING LAWS
Will Discuss Matter With Business
Men of City Before Announcing Pol
icy-NeW Board Will Continue I'M
provement of Streets.

Quite number of changes will be
made in the conduct of municipal af-
fairs when the installation of the new
ly elected board of mayor and alder
men takes place in January. This
morning in conversation with Her
aid reporter, Mayor-elect w. o. Cher
ny said in substance Economy will
be the watchword of the new admins
tration. The very first thing we in
tend to do is to have the books of the
city audited, and while ! think
everything is perfectly straight, | be-
lieve the city is deeply in debt, and we
will be compelled to retrench wherev-
er possible, as this Indebtedness must
be retired as soon as possible and
practical.
After it is known what the collec-
tons will aggregate, then our budget
will be made in accordance,
and we will live strictly within
that budget Asked concerning the
policy of the board as to the continu-
ance of street paving, Mr.. Cherry said:
1T will be our policy to continue to
improve the streets, but it is likely
that we will discontinue the use of as
phalt, for there is something wrong
with that, it is not giving the service
it should, but our policy will be bet
ter streets for less money.
During the winter months | will do
the street inspecting myself, and we
will save the salary of the street in
| spector for at least three or four
months at $50 per month. OF course
it will be necessary to have an inspec-
tor when spring comes again. bue we
will have made little saving in this
department. -.
/ Concerning the Sunday closing law
Mr.. Cherry said he intended to con.
4 suit the leading business men here
and obtain their views, but there was
one thing he was positive on, and that
was that all business houses must be
closed during church hours, or from
10 o'clock Sunday morning until ]
o'clock in the afternoon. Mr.. Cherry

Although It Is Understood That Nc
kellar viii Back Albright for the
Pace-Friends Of Witt Here Are
Very Much Interested.

OF great interest here where he has
hundreds OF friends will be the an
nouncement contained in Washington
dispatches to the effect that the sem
ators from Tennessee will defeat the
confirmation of George B. Witt to be
marshal for this division. 1t is stat
ed that both Senators Shields and
Mcclellan will oppose confirmation of
Mr.. Witt, which will of course defeat
him.
Mr.. Witt was appointed on the re-
commentator of his old classmate at
Culleoka, Former Attorney General
Watt Gregory. Both the senators had
made other recommendations and
they are said to have been greatly
chagrinned when the appointment of
Mr.. Witt was announced, although he
gave each of them loyal support. Mr..
Witt is a member of the democratic
state committee and in the last cam
paign supported both Senator Shields
and Gov. Roberts, but this fact does
not appear to have any weight with
Senator Shields or Senator Mcclellan.
1t is understood that when the nom-
ination of Mr.. Witt is respected by
the senate, Senator Shields will insist
on the appointment of Vernon Sharp,
of Nashville, while Mr. Mcclellan will
advocate his former campaign manag-
er, Editor Ed Albright, of Gallatin, for
the same place. Belief is general that
they will finally agree on Senator
Shields choice and that the plum will
go to Sharp.
Maury county had an active appli-
cant for the place before Mr.. Witt
was appointed in the person of ex-
Sheriff Claude Goodwin, but the lat
ter is no longer pushing his claims but
is preparing to enter the milling bust
ness. Mr., Witt qualified under a re-
cess appointment about nine months
ago and has been serving since.

GREAT HONOR
BESTOWED ON
MR.. CAPERTON
DISTINGUISHED MAURY COUN-
i. TAN MADE AMBASSADOR Ex-
TRAORDlNARY BY WILSON.
TO The REPUBLIC OF BRAZIL
Due to His Efforts More Amicable Re-
tations Established Between Amer
leans and the People of Latin Amer
lean Republics.

One of the sinai honors that have
been conferred on Admiral Caperton,
the distinguished son of Maury coun-
ty, has just come to light here. That
was his appointment last year as the
special representative of President
Woodrow Wilson with the rank of
Ambassador Extraordinary and Pleni-
potentiary' to attend the ceremonies
incident to the Inauguration of DR..
Francisco de Paula Rodriques Alves
as president of the republic of Brazil.
The commission is signed personal
ly by President Wilson and recites
that he reposes special trust and con-
1idence in the prudence, ability and
integrity of Rear Admiral Caperton."
During his time spent in the South
ern waters of the Atlantic Admiral
Caperton had very delicate and at
times difficult task. How we'll he dis
charged it was testified to by the rep
resentative citizens of Soth America
when he was called home. A recent
article in one of the great magazines
of the nation, written by one who has
been investigating American trade
conditions in South America, testi-
fies to the splendid work that Admiral
Caperton did in fostering friendly
spirit between the people of those
Latin American republics and Ameri-
cans.

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 1S.-William
Jennings Bryan has accepted the
Craftsmanship of the prohibition en-.
forcement campaign for Florida, it
was announced today by Edward
Young Clarke, southeastern director,
at headquarters here The former
secretary of state now lives in Flori-
da and will take an active part in the
campaign. 1t is probable that he will
speak in the other southeastern states
as we'll as in Florida. The organiza-
ton is said to be proceeding rapidly
in the southeastern states. Mr.. Bry-
an is expected to announce the names
of his executive committee shortly.
The prohibition campaign is aimed
solely at the illegalized liquor traffic
although workers in the movement
will do everything in the their power
to back and assist the government
state, county and city officials in en-.
forcing the law, no detective work
will be done, nor will homes be invad-
ed in search of liquor. The campaign
is to be operated against those who
manufacture and sell liquor illegally.
One of its features is a program of
Americanization and education as to
the law.

EVER INCREASING COST IS CAUSE
Farm Machinery Much Higher--Re-
turned Soldiers viii Not Resume
Farm Work-May Expect Higher

(By United Press.)

WASHINGTON, Nov 17,-Farmers
are having their trobles, too.
Indications point to greatly reduced
crops next year because of this dis.
content, according to Senator Capper,
of Kansas, publisher of several agri-
cultural papers.
Farmers are not planning to strike
exactly, but there is general expecta-
ton that acreage will be greatly re-
duced, Capper said in an interview
late yesterday.
Low profits, labor shortages, high
wages and rising costs of implements
are some of the reasons assigned.
"The American farmer won't go on
strike, but he is getting mighty sui
len," Capper declared. Wheat acre.
age will fall off probably one-third
next year and the general crops are
going to be smaller
Il don't think there is any concerted
movement among the farmers along
this line. No farm organization so far
as | know has adopted resolutions
urging a deliberate curtailing of pro-
duction. But nevertheless farmers
are individually sizing up the situa-
ton and are deciding to go slowly
next year.
Il receive many letters daily from
farmers, complaining about nearly ev-
erything. Hog prices are down, wheat
will probably be lower next year,
while labor costs are going up"
Ex-soldiers are refusink to go back
to the farms and are fiocking to the
cities, Capper asserted. During wheat
harvest it is almost impossible to get
help, he stated. The farmer is there.
fore turning from wheat to corn and
other crops which do not require har.
vesting during a short period in the
middle of the summer. He is distrib-
uting his crops so that he can do most
of the work alone.

CLERK AND MASTER
CANNED BY ADMIRAL

During his recent visit here Admiral
William B. Caperton presented his
old friend. Col. Mora B. Fariss, clerk
and Master, a walking cane made in
South America by one of the sailors
on the admiral's flag ship. The cane
is made of red ebony grown on the ISL
and Of Haiti. 1t is silver mounted,
the head being a coin of the republic
of Uruguay, where the admiral was
STONED for some time. The work is
that of an expert. 1t is needless to
state that the cane is greatly priced
by the possessor.

vision of the work to impose the bur

is understood that they will insist
that they be not reelected, but that
the honors of office shall go to others.
The executive committee has accept
ed the resignation of Mrs. Lamb, the
efficient secretary of the home service
division since its institution in the

DAMAGE GREAT

EVANSVILLE, June 23-The city of Fergus Falls, was almost de- molished last night by a terrific wind storm. Early estimates of the property damage place the financial loss at six million dollars. The number of deaths has not yet been ascertained because of the fact that many of the bodies are still in the ruins. The number of injured will exceed one hundred and sixty. It is believed fully score perished in the Grand hotel, a three story building which was completely de- molished by the storm.

 The admiralty admits that about fifty destroyers were sunk, together with several warships, but it is ex- pected that many of them will be salved. Several, in fact, were beach, ed before they could sink.
 One of the German officers re- sponsible for the sinkings is re- ported to have shouted exultantly, as the ships went to the bottom "See how the German navy goes down, with flags flying" The flags

LOW WAGES ENABLE LAPS TO UNDERSELL
 ALL COMPETITORS

GLASGOW. Japanese manufac- turers in almost every line of trade are aple to undersell their British and American competitors by as much as B 1-3 per cent and still gain a profit, according to the Jour- nal of the Glasgow Chamber of Commerce. The trade paper at- tributes Japan's advantage to low CT wages and facilities for trans portation.
 In 1917, the Journal adds, Japan made very marked advance in i'm portation of raw materials and the conversion of them into finished goods for export. The cost Of labor, says the paper, is the crucial question in the problem of how far Great Britain can hold her own against Japanese competition. In the Japanese weaving factories, fl women or girls are employed to one man or boy, while the proportion in the great English textile industry in Lancashire is two women to one man.

HELSINGFORS, Finland, June 23. The Bolsheviki cruiser Slava, one of the Russian Red fleet operating in the Gulf of Finland, is reported to have been sent to the bottom by a British torpedo, fired by warships of the imperial navy.
 Another Russian cruiser, the Olga, is reported to have been sunk by a British submarine.
 The loss of these two boats. it is stated in reports received from the scene of attack, will greatly cripple the Bolsheviki fleet in these waters, but it is understood to be the in- tention of the British to continue operations against the Red vessels until the entire fleet has been put out of commission.
 The destruction of the Slava and Olga resulted in the loss of many lives.

GUDRUN ANDERSON
 WEOS EMIL HURJA

SEATTLE, June 23.-The Seattle Congregational church was the scene yesterday of the marriage of Miss Gudrun Anderson, daughter of Mrs. Mary Anderson, former Fairbanks businesswoman, to Edward Emil Hurja, for several years city edit 'r of the Fairbanks Times. The uni versity chimes played the wedding march as the young couple ap- preached the altar, surrounded by their many friends. ..~
 The romance began when both were freshmen at the University of Washington Miss Anderson later became society editor of the Post Intelligencer, on which paper Huria also was employed for a time, after he had left Fairbanks. Hurja was a member of the Ford peace mission to Europe and later went to Wash ington as secretary to Delegate Sul- ger, giving up that place to join the eolors.
 The bride spent several years in Dawson, when a little girl and was also a resident of Fairbanks for q time
