Clarence Coffman, of the old lst
district was brought to town last
Friday by revenue men on the charge
of having sold the cap, pot and worm
worm of a whisky still to Bill Bibbs
and when given preliminary hear
ing before Commissioner P. o. Rob-
erts was bound over to Federal
court, under bond of 81 900 which he
made. Bibbs turned over the pur-
chased distilling outfit to Deputy
Marshal C. II. King.
During the last few weeks three IL
licit distilleries have been found in
the old First district of this county,
all in radius of one mile--in fact,
there was but about one mile between
two of the stills farthest apart,
while the third was between the other
two.
Commissioner Roberts now has on
his books nine alleged violations Of
revenue laws in which the parties
have been bound over to the Federal
court.
The cases in which the stills were
found in the old First district were
heard before the Commissioner at
Huntingdon.

Mayor L. T. Fielder on last Friday is
sued an order closing the High
School and City School and respect
fully prohibiting public gatherings
until the waive of influenza shall
have made its passage over the town

thing to do under the circumstances,
for it is the concensus Of opinion

WASTE RAN RIOT AT
OLD HICKORY PLANT.

Washington, Feb. THE Old
Hickory powder plant at Nashville.
Tennessee, which the DUPONT Engin-
eering Company reported to the War
Department cost $4,000. 900, actual
ly cost sS70OO,OOO. Mark H. Evans,
formerly Of the military intelligence,
told the House war expenditures
committee today.
"The plant site comprized 5,55S
acres, and real estate men say the
government paid an excessive price,
Evans testified. About 1900 build
ings We're erected as quarters for EN-
ployes and only five or six of these
had been occupied at Christmas
1918" Evans said he got his figures
on the cost Of the war plant from the
accountant Of the ordinance depart
ment.
"0n two-acre salvage lot at Old
Hickory there was first class ma
terials of every kind which were sold
at low figures, Evans said. Coop
per wire and valves, never taken
from the boxes in which they were
received, were sold as so much junk. =
Evans said he never saw more than
so per cent of the employees at Old
Hickory at work and the labor sup
ply was overstocked. He ascribes the
general loafing and wastefulness as
due to the cost-plus system by which
the plant was built.
The witness gave the committee
report showing the sale of 244 car
loads of "good materials" sold as sal
wage, and decided that two-thirds Of
it was bought by junk dealer at
Nashville whose brother was in
charge of the salvage lot.
Regarding the labor situation At
Old Hickory, Evans said:
There was such q demand Tor Ia
Dor that common labor was employed
ed and paid skilled labor wages. No
body said anything bz way of pro-
test. Nearly every e,uploye felt ~
the government Was paying zfe bill
there was no use to hurry or worry"
Thousands Of hams and thousands
of pounds Of other foods in the COM
missary department were sold at half
the Nashville retail price to employ
es, with no limit to the amount Of
purchases.
Questioned by Representative JEFF
ferries, Republican, Nebraska, Evans
said he sent full reports to the chief
of the military intelligence at Wash
ington and copies went to the federal
district attorney at Nashville. i
Ever hear of any prosecution
against anybody" Mr.. Jeffries
asked.
The witness said he had not.

ROBERTS-PEAY--
TYSON--WHICH?

The Memjhis Commercial Appeals
gubernatorial booster last Sunday
did his best to make c. A. readers
believe that the Hon. Austin Peay,
of Montgomery county, had just
about made up his mind to again
make the race for the gubernatorial
nomination-BUT in the event Mr..
Peay declined, Col. L. d. Tyson, of
Knoxville, might be considered a
possibility in the August primary.
In the former contest in which Gov.
Roberts won, it was to many" six of
one and half dozen of the other" as
between Roberts and Peay-and now
it may be possible or very probable
that Roberts and Peay men have
swaT led sides since since that con-
test. Mr.. Pcay was regular, Pat
terson Democrat (but whether or not
during his nearness to the ordor-
ferrous political carcass of Ham Pat
terson he had to "hold his nose" we
do not know but suspect that he thus
protected his political olfactories but
even at that Roberts went him one
better by stating in speech here that
he had never in his life voted for a
Republican.
Now for Col. L. D. Tyson: Beside
having done well, his heart as an Of
ficer in the World war, he is simply
0. K, otherwise. He is we'll able to
make a good executive, clean, moral,
sober-a gentleman and a scholar.
Not single honest man in all Ten.
nessee would have need to be asham-
ed of Col. L. d. Tyson in the gov
ernor's office. 1t is our recollection
that he helped to run red liquor out
of Tennessee-and Ham Patterson to
the mourners' bench-where he has
continued to mourn at so much per
mourn. We will admit that a man of
close perception could see that we
are partial to Col. Tyson. We are.
We know him-and as a certain law
yer is wont to express it "all hell
could not change him."
