SEW SENATOR IS HEARD.
Senator Taylor Ralls at President anil
Ills Republican Colleagues.
Washington, D. C, May 19. Sena
tor Taylor delivered his maiden speech
In the senate today. The Tennessee
senator made the basis of his argu
ment an attack on President Roose
velt, which the republicans are In
clined to consider unwarranted.
"In these Imperial days," he began,
"when concentrated wealth Is en
trenched under the dome of the cap!
tol and centralized power enthroned
in the White House, what can you ex
pect but a gradual encroachment of
the federal government upon the re
served rights of the states."
Turning to the republicans he
taunted them with their lack of unan
imity in regard to the president's pol
icies. "The question is, he shouted, "are
uu aviug tu yui ilia piuMU0u. a re
form policies In the platform? If you
are, why don't you endorse Bryan and
be done with It? If not, you will re
pudiate your own president.'

CONTINUOUS RAINS HAVE

Unlem There Ik an Immediate Let Up
in the Rains, It Will Become Neces
sary to PoMtiMMie Race Meet Sched
uled for Next Saturday Track Very
Wet and Needs , Several Days In
Which to Dry Committee Will
Know Tomorrow. ;
If there is no let up In the rains, it
may become necessary to postpone the
automobile races, and parade next
Saturday morning and afternoon. It
will require fully three day. for the
fair ground track to get In good shape
after the present thorough soaking It
has received. This has led the com
mittee to doubt the feasibility of pull
ing off the races Saturday. By to
morrow, If the weather has not clear
ed and given signs of remaining so, It
is probable that the committee will
postpone the big event. ' ' "
This postponement of the auto
races will hot affect tho stock show
and market day sales, however, as the
only damper that can be put on these
features of the big day, will be a
downpour of rain on the eventful hour.

With only one man In the county;

that the June term of circuit cou.-t
will bo very short. j . .
The June term will sit the day fol- !
lowing election day, and unless circuit
court eases are filed rapidly In the in
tervening time, (he term will be a
short and light one. The two weeks
preceding circuit court usually is full
of hard work for tho sheriffs office,

but this time there Is but little to be
attended to, especially by the sheriff.
