then complicated the the trouble
that brought about his death. Mr..
French was a man about 40 years
old and had been for sometime an
emplOye of the railroad company

company. He was an upright
citizen and his death is very much
regretted. He is survived by bis

ROSS APPOINTED TO
Federal JUDGSHIP
One of the Hottest Contests
the Administration Has Had
Yet to Settle

News was received here We'd
nesday afternoon that Chancellor
j. w. Ross had been appointed to
the federal iudgeship for the West
Tennessee district. This place has
been vacant since the death of
Judge John E. Mccall nearly a
year ago.
Judge Ross won out in one of
the hottest contests that has vet
come before the present admins
tration. There were several ap-
plicants for the place, and the pol
iticians were nearly all lined up
for the opponents of Judge Ross.
Congressman Lon Scott waged
an unrelenting fight against the
chancellor, and stood ready at any
time to give his support to any one
that could defeat Ross. The fight
was bitter and in many respects
unbecoming a contest for a posi-
ton OF this kind.
Judge Ross was so strongly and
widely backed that his opponents
could not defeat him.
Attorney General Daugherty
confesses that this was one of the
most complicated and annoying
cases the administration has had to
deal with, and that a blunder was
made in allowing the factional
fight to arise.

WILDERSVILLE IS
CONSUMED BY FIRE
Seventeen Buildings Burn With
Property Loss Estimated at
Over 100000

All the business section OF the
town of Wildersville was consumed
by lire last Friday afternoon. The
fire originated at 2:45 O'Clock in the
residence portion of wooden
structure owned and occupied by
DR.. w. |. Howell, who used part
of the building as a drug store.
The flames spread so rapidly
north. south and east that in one
hour and forty five minutes seven.
teen houses of brick and wood had
been consumed. The railroad runs
through Wildersville southwest
to northwest and the FIRE originated
at about half way of the business
row and some what in the rear of
the brick stores in the center of
the row which fronts the railroad.
The losses are estimated to total
about 500, 900. but the insurance,
which is scant in some cases, has
not been committed.
The people who have done the
business of Wildersville are a
plucky bunch, and, Phoenix. like.
the town is expected to soon arise
from its own ashes a better
Wildersville than ever.

Good Crowds

The commencement exercises of
the Huntingdon High School are

grams rendered are very fine and
highly gratifying to the patrons of
the school.
The ommencement sermon was
preached last Sunday at the IL
O'Clock hour at the Methodist
church. The sermon was delivered
by Rev. H. ]. Derthick, president
of Milligan College. 1t was a
strong sermon and was we'll de-
livered. The church was packed
and the discourse was highly pleas
ing to those who heard. He
preached another fine sermon Sun
day night at the same place, a
good crowd hearing him.
Each night this week except
Wednesday night, there has been
public exercises at the high school
auditorium. The various depart
ments have put on programs that
have been highly enjoyed and were
very pleasing to the large audi
ences that are attending.

MAKING STRONG DRIVE
FOR Bethel COLLEGE
The Citizens of Mckenzie Are
Making Effort to Secure
Big School

In another column of the Demo-
crat appears an article about the
effort being made by the citizens
of Mckenzie to secure Bethel Col
lege. This article states that the
town has 100000 bond issue as
financial offer. In this we are
mistaken. The election was held
and the proposition carried by a
big majority, but failed to carry
by three.fourths majority, which
was found to be necessary. Time
is too short to hold another cleo
ton.
Undaunted by this mistake the
progressive citizens of the town
have gone to work and are en-
deavoring to make up the amount
by private pledges. Last Tuesday
night $4,000 was pledged and the
work continues.
Mckenzie is entitled to that
school, and if it is moved away it
will never be the success it would
be if retained in Mckenzie. is our
honest opinion.

CLABO GUILTY"
Committee SAYS
Senate InquisitOry Body Re.
ports to the Governor in
the Bribery Hearing

The report of the senate COM
mittee investigating charges OF
bribery and corruption involving
members of the body and others in
connection with their activities
with the upper house of the Ten
nessee legislature, was completed
and fled with the governor Satur-
day afternoon.
The report, which is an extended
one, and which discusses in detail
various matters brought before the
committee, pronounces Senator
E. N. Clabo of Sewer county
guilty of accepting a bride. 1t also
pronounces David B. Puryear, of
Memphis, and Robert L. Garden,
state insurance commissioner and
also senate clerk, guilty of repre-
hensible conduct" il making
changes in the reciprocal insurance
bill, and declares that proof tends
to strongly indicate" that Senator
John R. Kemper and Representa-
tive Ben w. Rawls received.money
confluence their support in voting.
1t leaves to the discretion of the
governor the submission to the
Davidson county criminal authori.
ties for action of the evidence in
all three cases, but recommends
that such action be taken.
The report holds that Senator
Clabo deliberately and corruptly
agreed to and did accept a bribe, :"
and this offense is alleged to have
occurred without his being made
intoxicated. The belief is expressed
that the senator should not remain
a member of the senate, but his
expulsion is not demanded nor the
calling of an extra session of the
legislature to try the case recon-
mended.. 1t is suggested that, in
case the governor calls a special
session of the legislature, this
matter be included in the call and
the evidence adduced in this case
be then placed before the senate.
1t is also suggested that the evil
dence be delivered to the criminal
authorities Of Davidson county to
be used in the forthcoming trial of
Senator Clabo before that bar.

sembly of the Cumberland Presby-
terian Church will be called to
order by the retiring moderator,
the Rev. j. I. Cortner, of Dyers-
burg, Tenn, who will open the
proceedings with the annual SER
mon.
II the reports of the various
boards and agencies of the as.
semblY may be taken as criterion,
this will be, in some respects, one
of the most important assemblies
ever held by Cumberland Presby-

chairman, and D. NJ. McAnulty
of Bolivar is secretary, will recon.

Rev. ). H. Braly in the faculty.
The board of trustees of Bethel
college, located at Mckenzie, and
of which the Rev. o. A. Barbee,
of GreenvilIe, KY, is chairman
will recommend that the Rev. G.
w. Burroughs, at present pastor
of the First Cumberland Presby-
terian church at Chattanooga, and
a graduate Of Vanderbilt university
replace the present president of
Bethel college, Prof. N. g. Fin
ney. There will probably be other
changes in the official personnel

If the Countess application is granted the rate from Pitts
