 It is highly desirable that every one should register and vote this year. in order to cuncl,isively %fu.e the dis paaaging reports circulated from in terested sources Outsf de to the effec that nearly everyone has Left Nome and the camp is down and oart. There are easily between 400 and 800 vo:ers in Nome and the fact that Nome is still very much alive will be conclu- siveay demonstrated if every one will register and vote.

W. CSS.ton. The roTynMnicauion,d dated at Seattle, January 10. present the following sig nificaIt statement showing that tho Nugget was at least not far from the mark. notwithstanding the pooh poohing of local wiseacres and the tools and associates of the aforesaid 'interests. MT. Carleton says:
 Tt is gehting harder every year to do business in Alaska, mostly on ac- count of transportation, But as you know. the Alaska Steamship Company is owned and controlled hy the Gue- genheim's and their aim is to get the mining interests of the country by freezing everybody out by means of excessive freight rates on supplies and fuel.''
 Continuing. he says. However. when :tn Is said. I believe Alaska is better even now rl,an out here. Things do no. look vtery good in the States with tlle thousands of unemployed all
 
 on9s have enough saved up .o keep them 60 days. Prices have come down somewhat. but are still high and merchants are complaining on all sides.

 "Neluly all the Alaskan's that com, put hast f:,ll have gone South to a dr, climate so don't see many in Seattle now'
 Mir. Carleton also sends the sad ,rvsws that H. H. Moller. former widely known Nome business man and ona tunle mayor of the city. died during the first days of January and also confirms the reported demise of R. B. Holden a short time before. but gives no details.

SPLENDID HERD
CHAPMA COWS
WILL Be SOLD
DISPERSAL SALE OF ONE OF FIN
EST LOTS OF JERSEYS IN THE
COUNTY NEXT MONDAY.
LONG FAMOUS AS PRODUCERS
Seventy.FiVe Head of Pure Bred Heif-
trs and Cows to Be offered to the
Dairy interests Of Maury County on
Long Terms.

On next Monday at / o'clock at
Moore's stables Col. Joseph A. Chap
man will sell seventy-fiye head of the
finest purebred Jersey cows and heif-
ers ever sold in Maury county. The
entire herd will be sold as Col. Chap
man has recently decided that because
of his numerous and varied business
interests it is impossible for him to
longer devote that time to his exten-
5iye. farming interests that they re-
quire
The COWS and heifers that will so
into this sale arc producers and from
producers For many years this dairy
has been one of the largest and best
in this section of the state. The herd
has been carefully culled and while
the cows are not registered they are
all purebred Jerseys and the indiyid-
uals are all good. This sale will give
the rapidly expanding dairy interests
of Maury county rare opportunity
to buy on time cows of demonstrated
worth.
1t is expected that the sale will be
largely attended and that the results
will be satisfactory because the dairy
interest has been one of the few for
the farmers of this county that during
the past year or two has produced any
real returns. The terms are most lib
eral as twelve months time will be
extended to the purchasers.
The sale will begin promptly at |
O'Clock. In addition to the COWS and
heifers two fine Jersey bulls will be
sold. ...

MORE THAN A SCORE ARE BEING

Twenty. odd heavily laden baskets
or big boxes of good things to eat are
being distributed this afternoon to as
many families by the Kings Daugh,
ters. The circle was divided into
more than a score of committees and
each committee charged with the duty
of preparing a box of food for some
poor family in the city, The commit
tees are functioning with the result
that one of the most substantial dona-
tions ever made to the poor will glad
den their hearts tomorrow. These
boxes contain meat in liberal quanti-
ties, fruits in abundance, all kinds of
vegetables, preserves, flour, meal, su-
gar and various and sundry articles of
food. The members of the King S
Daughters have entered into the distri-
button with hearty good will and they
are delighted at the results of their
labors and it is doubtful if the fecip-
tents of their favors receive as much
pleasure from the donations as the
givers have gotten.

NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS TODAY
Belief Grows, However, That Maury
Cecil, Victim of Shooting Must Have
Been Temporarily Unbalanced Re-
suit of Recent Heavy Losses.

There have been no new develop
ments in the killing of Maury Cecil
by Louis Catina at Cross Bridges on
Tuesday morning Catina has not
been arrested, and it is not thought
that he will be- 1t is understood, how
ever, that he is preparing to appear
before the grand jury to make state
ment, which it is believed by those fa-
miliar with facts surrounding the
shooting, will exhonorate him from
blame, and that no effort will be made
to secure an indictment. Col. John
w. Cecil stated that he was ready at
any time to go before the grand jury
and tell what he knew of the case.
The shooting continues to be large
ly the topic of conversation here, and
as usual many silly rumors have been
placed in circulation. Those who
went to Cross Bridges Immediately
after the shooting, or were there at
the time, are agreed that the report
carried in The Herald on Tuesday ait
ernoon was correct. The general inn
preston seems to prevail also that
the dead man must have been tempo
rarily unbalanced. 1t is argued that
no sane man who had just threatened
another's life would return only par
TALLY clothed and unarmed to his
place of business after he had been
ordered to keep away from the prem
ises. Quite a number of those who
knew Mr.. Cecil well have, recalled
queer actions of his during the past
few weeks, and it is believed that
constant brooding over heavy losses
on worthless oil stock dethroned his
reason.

Wildcat Still
Taken Tuesday
Near R0ckd0le

One of the biggest and best copper
stills captured in Maury county for
months was brought into Columbia
this morning by Deputy Sheriff w, NJ,
Fitzgerald, Jr., of Mt. Pleasant, and
turned over to County Judge Whit
thorne. The still was in full blast
when captured late Tuesday afternoon
by officers w f. Liggett, WIN. fitz-
gerald and w. A. Matthews in dark
and deep hollow Just beyond Rockdale
furnace. The four operators of the
still escaped, carrying with them the
worm
Mr.. FITZGERALD said the men ran
when they noted the approach of the
officers and that several shots were
fired at the fleeing moonshiners, but
none of them are thought to have tax
en- effect. The officers fire was not re-
turned by the sinners
The still was placed on the court
house lawn this morning and attracted
much attention. 1t bore evidence ol
much service, and was constructed OF
copper throughout, and was one OF the
very best pieces of still workmanship
seen ltere in long time.
It is not known how the Wildcat
ters" discovered the approach of the
| officers. Several other stills have
been captured recently in this same
section.
Officers estimated that there wa'
on hand yesterday at the still at leas
700 gallons of beer and mash. Thii
was destroyed and the still rendered
useless.
