Several hundred fat offices with good
Taft republicans after he has purged

Arrangements were made today to
hold up -every Taft appointment "till
after the 4th of March next, after
which date President Taft will cease
to have anything to say about govern
ment positions. : '
The arrangement , was made by
word , of mouth and by telephone.
The purpose of this arrangement
is to forestall the embarrassment, of
'the democratic party, when it comes
into power, by a bunch of republican
office holders in office for four years,
nd nrotected under the civil service;
It is easier to keep republicans gu
of -office than it is to get them out,

"Take th case of my dwn state,"
said a prominent democratic senator
today. "The President held up there
between ten and a dozen postmasters
for the purpose of influencing the
election ot delegates tp Chicago. Af

"I prevented confirmation ''.id 1

Not only that, but I have sent word
to the President that I propose to do
Just that. We are going to have a

do not, want a lot of republican offlce

.The stock that went out of Tennes
ae late beine saved for the last
minute to catch the highest posnible

what was expected. It overstocked
the market and there was a scramble
by the dealers to get rid of what they
had on hand at any price? and many
shippers got caught In the crash;
Columbia dealers had large ship
ments on the market and scented the
situation and in order to avoid a loss
froze their shipments for future mar

Dr. Moore, at Culleoka, Conveys His
Home to Fred W. Beasley and Will
Move, to Davidson County to Make
His Home In the Future.
Another splendid Maury ' county
farm 'was Bold and another purchas
ed this week, both at prices, that, at
test the ever Increasing value of land
in this county.' Dalton A.' Oliver of
the fourth district, sold his splendid :
farm of 250 acres, on the waters of -
Fountain creek to J. C. and J. O.
Cheek for $22,000 or about $90 a
acre , which shows how much people
think of land in! this section. This la
said to be one of the highest prices
ever received, per acre for a farm a
large as his in the fourth district w
the county. The place is well im- .
proved and the land lies in an' almost :
ideal fashlo nfor getting the beat re
sults. It is understood ;j that J. . C
Cheek will move to the place at once.
i Mr: Oliver immediately purchased
from Alex Tltcomb, of this city, the -latter's
farm of about 480 acres ia the
bend of Duck river beyond ihe Bow
ell Mill pike and lying hear the Bow-"
ell place. It Is a part of the old Har-
dison place." There are practically no ,
Improvements on the place and while
the land is one of the finest bodies of
river bottom 'soil to be found any
where it is rather inaccessible. Tlie
price paid was $10,000." It is undejv
stood that Mr. Oliver and. family will
not move to the farm but will come
to Columbia to reside. Mr. Oliver
will probably, engage in some busi
ness in the city.
Another deal of unusual interest ,
was made this week when Dr. Wil
liam p. Moore conveyed' his house'
and lot on the beautiful eminence
overlooking the little valley in which
the village of Culleoka nestleB. This
place contains 11 acres of land and is
admirably situated, being only a tew
minutes walk from the passenger sta
tion. The purchaser was Fred W.
Beasley; the agent of the Louisville)
& Nashville Railroad at Culleoka. Dr.
Moore and family will, it is under
stood, move at an early date to Kdon-
wold In Davidson county where ihey-
will reside. Dr. Moore is one of the
leading physicians of the county and
has a most attractive family and;
their removal from Culleoka will be
a distinct loss to the community and
Is the occasion of genera regret.
