CULLEOKA STORM
ONE YEAR AGO
FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF COUN
TY'S DISASTROUS CYCLONE
AND FLOOD.
One year ago today occurred the
disastrous' cyclone that devastated
the Culleoka section and did great
havoc in the Eastern section of the
'county. At about 4 o'clock on March
13, 1913, the' storm crossed Elk Ridge,
the dividing line between Maury and
Giles counties, after old Lynnville, or
"Waco, had been almost swept off the
map, and struck the Culleoka section
at the home of Charles S. William
son and then crossed to the depot, do
ing great damage to property. Alto
gether the toll of the storm In this
section in lives was four and in prop
erty not less than a quarter of a mil
lion dollars. Short as has been the
time since then, the property damage
has been almost practically all re
paired, all of the buildings, with one
or two exceptions, in the county, hav
ing been replaced with much better
and handsomer structures. The
storm was accompanied by one of the
most terriflic downpours of rain ever
known In the county. The weather
was much warmer than it is today.
JACK JOHNSON RUN
OUT OF SWEDEN
Well, another owner of the famous
Jones money has been found.
The Maury National Bank is in re
ceipt of a letter from B. W. Northcutt,
of DeGraff, Ohio, who states that his
father was murdered in the vicinity
of Shelbyville in 1865. He had quite
a good deal of cash on his person,
and the money has never been found.
The astute gentleman thinks that per
haps the buried treasure belonged to
his father, and he would like to get
hold of It. He is certainly one unso
phisticated soul and very modest in
his requests, for he Very blandly asks
the bank to give him "any marks,
letter, or anything else by which it
could be identified." He states that
he would be very grateful for any in
formation in regard to the lost treas
ure. At least, the gentleman acknowl
edges indirectly that The Herald is
a good advertising medium and circu
lates even up in Ohio. It was through
it that he gained the information in
regard to the money.
The letter is as follows:
"DeGraff, O., March 9th, 1914. The
Maury National Bank, Columbia,
Tenn. Gentlemen: I find in one of
your daily papers of Jan. 17th where
one Wm. Jones has found a treasure
while out trapping and has been left
in your care..
"My father, John T. Northcutt, ear
ly in the year of 1865 went down in
that locality and bought up red cedar
timber nnd rafted them down the riv
er and in the month of June he was
murdered and buried in the vicinity
of Shelbyville, Tenn.
"He went from here with quite a
great deal of ensh money, but my
mother, who is still living, never got
any of it back.
Is there any marks or letter or
anything by which it could be identi
fied, if so would you please give me
what information you have, if any
and obige. B. W. NORTHCTJTT."

The Racket
F. SWANSBURG Prop.
WASHINGTON, March 13. -Walter
Hines Page, American ambassador to
Great Britain, was made the target of
inquiry today in a resolution adopted
by the senate calling on the secreta
ry of state to investigate alleged pub
lic assertions by the ambassador rel
ative to the Monroe doctrine and the
Panama canal.
Senator Chamberlain aroused over
reports of a speech by Ambassador
Page in London before the associat
chambers of commerce, introduced
the resolution, and his request for
immediate consideration resulted in
its adoption without debat
The resolution requests the secre
tary of state to procure a copy, for
the use of the senate, of Ambassador
Pages address, and to call on the am
bassador for evidence on which he
based the alleged statement that "it
"added greatly to the pleasure of the
people of the United States in the
building of the Panama canal to know
that the British would profit most by
its use."
Particular request is made in the
resolution for a verbatum report of
that portion of the ambassador's ad
dress in which he is reported to have
defined the Monroe doctrine as mean
ing merely that "the United States
would prefer that no European gov
ernments would gain more land In the
new world."
After the resolution had been
adopted senators heard dispatches
from London saying the ambassa
dor's speech was delivered extempo
raneously late in the evening and not
reported verbatim, and quoting Mr.
Page as explaining that his reference
to British use of the Panama canal
was in a light vein. It was taken for
granted at the capitol, however, that
in response to the state department's
request the ambassador would furnish
his recollection of just what he had
said, with the desired explanation.
No attempt was maded to oppose
the resolution when Senator Cham
berlain offered it, the usual custom
being to pass such measures as a mat
ter of course. Later in the day a
similar resolution was introduced in
the house by Representative Murray,
of Oklahoma, a democrat, but it did
not get before the body for discus
sion or action.
There was no official comment on
the speech or action of the senate. In
an informal discussion at the White
House, however, President Wilson in
dicated that the Monroe aoctrme was
as much a part of the American for
eign policy today as a hundred yars
ago. He did not express an opinion
concerning the ambassador's speech.
After Four Tears of Discouraging
Conditions, Mrs. Bullock Gavu
Up in Despair. Husband
Came to Rescue.
Catron, Ky. In an interesting letter
from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock
writes as follows : "I suffered for four
years, with womanly troubles, and during
this time, 1 could only sit up for a little
while, and could not walk anywhere at
an. At times, I would have severe pains
In my left side.
The doctor was called in, and his treat
ment relieved me for a while, but I was
soon confined to my bed again. After
that, nothing seemed to do me any good.
1 had gotten so weak I could not stand,
and I gave up in despair.
At last, my husband got me a bottle of
Cardui, the woman's tonic, and I com
menced taking it. From the very first
dose, I could tell it was helping me. I
can now walk two miles without its
tiring me, and am doing all my work."
If you are all run down from womanly
troubles, don't give up in despair. Try
Cardui, the woman's tonic. It has helped
more than a million women, in Its 50
years of continuous success, and should
surely help you, too. Your druggist has
sold Cardui for years. He knows what
it will do. Ask him. He will recom
mend it. Begin taking Cardui today.

FRIDAY AGAIN ON

SECOND MONTH OF YEAR TO
HAVE THIS UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE.
Columbia got away with Friday,
Feb. 13, without anything serious
happening, there seems a probability
that the same good fate is in store
for the people today, which is again
Friday, the thirteenth, but that this
luck can happen a third time seems
almost beyond belief and comprehen
sion. Thanks be, there is only one
more month in this year 'that the
thirteenth falls on Friday. Novem
ber is the other month, but as it is
some time off, there is no need to
worry.
The superstitious seem to have lit
tle cause for worry today. The ele
ments seemed to have conspired no!
to repeat the dose-of last year, when a
eood part of the southern portion of
the county was blown away by disas
trous cyclone. There is no indication
of the weather getting on a rampage,
and the mercury prognosticator has
forecasted that the sun is due to
shine for several days to come.

(Friday's Daily.)
The past day in the Owen murder
trial has been consumed in hearing
character witnesses introduced by
loth sides.
The defense has been exerting ev
ery effort possible to destroy the tes
timony of John Foster, the main wit
ness for the state, who stated that he
saw the murder, and that George Ow
en was the man who did it. Scores
of witnesses have been put on the
stand to show that Foster was utter
ly unreliable, that he was an habitual
drunkard, that he had no character,
and that he was not worthy of belief
.upon his oath. There has hardly
j been a witness who gave Foster a
good name. Many of them had pret
i ty bad characters of thwlr own, and
in many instances it was but the pot
j calling the skillet black. It is said
that the defense will introduce testi
mony to show thai it was physically
impossible for Foster to have seen
all the things that he said he did from
the position that he occupied.
The prosecution, on the other hand,
has many witnesses to prove that
Owen's character is of the indigo col
or. They have put on the stand many
to show that he was immoral, disso
lute, and had been in similar cases
before. His past was pretty thor
oughly aired. Owen admits freely
that his record is not spotless, but
still maintains that he is Innocent of
the crime with which he is charged.
He asserts that he was at home and
in bed before 1 o'clock, and therefore
that it was impossible for him to have
been at the scene of the murder and
to have had any hand in it. He in
troduced several witnesses to prove
that he passed on the way home
about 12:30 on the morning of the
killing. He claims that he ana" Bra
den parted in the best of humor, and
that no ill words passed between
them the whole time they were to
gether. He explodes the theory that
he could have killed Braden for mon
ey, as he stated that a large sum of
it was found on the dead man's body
after the shooting occurred.
Members of the independent coun
ty committee at a meeting this after
noon unanimously requested the state
independent committee at its meeting
on Monday to postpone all action cm
state politics until some future time
when the issues of the campaign
would be more fully joined.
The committee organized by the
election of Thomas B. Forgey of the
ninth district as chairman and J I.
Finney, of the fifth district, as sec
retary. The committee was in ses
sion only about ten minutes and the
most perfect harmony prevailed, ev
ery action being by a unanimous vote
of the members.
Of the twenty-six members of thi
committee, nineteen were present in
person or represented by proxy.
The committee met at 1 o'clock ami
was called to order by J. I. Finney,
who called the roll disclosing the
presence of a quorum. Mr. Finney
was elected temporary chairman, but
the committee immediately went iuio
a permanent organization and elected
Thomas B. Forgey chairman and J. L
Finney secretary.
J. I. Finney then offered the follow
resolutions, which were unaniino is j
adopted:
"The members of the independent
democratic committee of Maury coun
ty rejoice in the steady advancemi a!
of the temperance sentiment which
has almost banished the liquar traffic
from the state; we heartily commend
and approve the efforts of Gov. Hoop
er and all of the officials of the state
and counties and municipalities who
have done so much to enforce the
liquor laws and to stimulate senti
ment in behalf of law enforcement
and prohibition.
"The members of this committee a?
democrats stand for principles which
have actuated us in the campaigns ot
the past and we will accept no com
promise on these issues; however, at
this time as loyal and sincere demo
crats we do not believe that, it w ould
be advisabie or expedient, in advance
of the joining of the issues of this
campaign, for our state committee to
take any action with reference to
state politics; therefore this commit
tee does hereby earnestly and re
spectfully petition the members of
said state committee frfom this (sev
enth) district at the meeting railed
for next Monday, to vote for a post
ponment of any action by said com
mittee until such time as the issues
of the campaign shall be fairly joined
and all light shall be before them.
Then we urge them to take such ac
tion as wil redound to the good of
our cause and the honor and glory of
the state."
