MAURY NATIONAL BANK
"Esau" and his alleged accomp
; lice and "lady love" Jennie Prior,
have been indicted by the' grand jury
I for the murder of Arthur Prior which
! occurred last fall on the Williamsport
! piko. This is the first indictment for
j murder so far returned at this court.
! No action has yet been reported in
the Prinim and Curt murder case.
It will be recalled that "Eseau"
who claims to be a 'vhoodoo doctor"
made an alleged confession to the
effect that he planned with his ac
complice, Jennie Prior, to murder
her luwbad, Arthur, in order that they
might be married. The gruesome story
held much of fascinating interest to
the colored population particularly as
the murder was shrouded in mystery
for several days.
In all about forty-five true hills
have been returned by the grand jury
at. this term. The large majority
of the bills are on cases bound over
from justices courts. So far no in
dictments have been returned in on
tobacco or cigarette cases or for a
violation of the wheel tax or the dog
law. It is said that the grand jury
has come to no decision as to the
probable attitude that will be taken
on the question of returning indict
nients for selling tobacco to minors
or for violation of the anti-cigarette
law'.
The following is a list of the indict-
, ments found by the grand jury: One
for murder; two grand larceny; one
false pretense; one fraudulent breach
of trust; one carnal knowledge of fe
male; two for feloniously possessing
liquor; one for petit larceny; four for
carrying pistol; four for public drunk
enness; one for violating the bone dry
law; six for disturbing public wor
ship; one for malicious mischief;
three for assault and battery; three
for profanity; one for vagrancy; two
for selling diseased animals for meats.

GREAT FUTURE FOR

IS PREDICTED BY WELL KNOWN
WRITER IN THE HORSE
REVIEW.
James R. Ridley, the new owner ol
he great Napoleon Direct 1:59V6, has
received an interesting letter from J.
I. Mackay, the well known writer on
the Rorse Review, commending him
highly on his purchase. Mr. Mackay
declares that this great Maury county
product was really never beaten on
the race course, except when condi
tions were against him. He also stat
ed that he expected him to make one
of the greatest sires of speed ever
produced. Mr. Ridley is confident
that all the predictions made about
this wonderful horse will prove to be
more than justified.

GREAT RUSH TO
PAY DOG TAXES
FOLLOWS NOTICE
GEN. WHITE'S RECENT INTER
VIEW IN THE HERALD PRO
DUCES RESULTS.
NEARLY 3.000 HAVE BEEN PAID
Object Lesson to Those Who Have
Any Doubts As to the Value of Pub
licity No Indictments on this
Score Until Close of Court.

Since the. publication of the enter
view of District Attorney A. Looney
White in The Herald two weeks ago
that all persons liable for the pay
ment of dog taxes who were delinqu
ent would be prosecuted and fined,
there has been a vertltable land office
business at the office of Trustee J.
Ross Burns issuing dog tags and writ
ing receipts.
During that period of a little more
than two weeks the trustee has issued
nearly a thousand tags and receipts
They have come singly and in droves
to get their names on the books. It
started when The Herald gave the at
torney general's interview to the pub
lic and later it published the charge
or juoge Turner to the grand jury.
There has been no let up since.
The great majority of the dogs reg
istered are of the masculine geneder
but several females have been record
ed. The total collections from this
source already run largely in excess
of $3,000, the toal number of dogs reg
istered being over 2.C00. It is ex
pected that before the rush is over
not less than 3,000 receipts will have
been issued. It is estimated that a
number of worthless curs have silent
ly turned their toes to the daisies
rather than that their owners should
part with a dollar.
No indictments have as yet been
returned by the grand jury. It is un
derstood that no bills for this offense
will be returned until just before the
inquistors adjourn, as the district at
torney wants to give all an opportun
ity to pay. .
"If you don't believe that advertis
ing a thing in The Herald gets results
you should have watched this rush for
the past two weeks to pay dog taxes,
following the publication of Gen.
White's interview and warning," said
Trustee J. Ross Burns today. "They
had almost quit paying until that pub
lication and then they came and they
have been coming ever since."
DISABLED VETERANS
IN ARMY HOSPITALS
ABOUT TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND
WOUNDED REMAIN AFTER .
OVER YEAR OF PEACE.
Although it is a year since the sign
ing of the armistice, about 255,000 of
or American boys are still in hospi
tals reminding us of part of the price
we paid in the great war.
These are boys who suffered from
some serious wound 'or disease, and
are courageously pulling through by
patience and medical skill. Perhaps
only one-half of this number will ever
be well enough to take up life normal
ly again. They will need the most
thorough vocational re-training that
can be given, as they must learn from
the beginning to master the new pro
fession compatible with their new
condition.

LEGION WILL KEEP OUT OF POLI

ALIVE ON ISSUES.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 19
The soldiers do not intend to be
hood-winked in polities. They are
watching both major parties" and will
insist on both of them doing their
duty. This was the one big develop
ment of the American Legion conven
tion in Minneapolis, representing over
a million organized former members
of the military forces. The Legion
itself is apparently going te keep out
of politics, but from the action of the
convention its members do not intend
to stand for any political "buck passing."
