HONOR
GREAT
BESTOWED ON
MR. CAPERTON
DISTINGUISHED MAURY . COUN
TIAN MADE AMBASSADOR EX
TRAORDINARY BY WILSON.
TO THE REPUBLIC OF BRAZIL
Due to His Efforts More Amicable Re
' tatlons Established Between Amer
, leans and the People of Latin Amer
ican Republics.
One of the sinal honors that have
been conferred on Admiral Caperton,
the distinguished son of Maury coun
ty, has Just come to light here. That
was his apointment last year as the
special representative of President
Woodrow Wilson with the rank of
"Ambassador Exraordinary and Pleni
potentiary" to attend the ceremonies
incident to the inaguration of Dr.
Francisco de Paula Rodrlques Alves
as president of the republic of Brazil.
' The commission s signed personal
ly by President Wilson and recites
that he reposes "special trust and con
lidence In the prudence, ability and
integrity of Rear Admiral Caperton."
During his time spent in the South
ern waters of the Atlantic Admiral
Caperton had a very delicate and at
times difficult task. How well he dis
charged It was testified to by the rep
resentative citizens of Soth America
Tfvhen he was called home. A recent
article in one of the great magazines
Of the nation, written by one who has
been Investigating American trade
conditions in South America, testi
fies to the splendid work that Admiral
Caperton did in fostering a friendly
spirit between the people of those
Latin American republics and Americans.

THE SUNDAY CLOSING LAWS
Will Discuss Matter With Business
Men of City Before Announcing Pol
icy New Board Will Continue Im
provement of Streets.
Quite a number of changes will be
made in the conduct of municipal af
fairs when the installation of the new
ly elected board of mayor and alder
men takes place in January. This
morning in conversation with a Her
ald reporter, Mayor-elect W. O. Cher
ry said in substance "Economy will
be the watchword of the new adminis
tration. The very first thing we in
tend to do is to have the books of the
city audited, and while I think
everything is perfectly straight, I be
lieve the city is deeply in debt, and we
will be compelled to retrench wherev
er possible, as this indebtedness must
be retired as soon as possible and
practical.
After it is known what the collec
tions will aggregate, then our budget
will be made in accordance,
and we will live strictly within
that budget. Asked concerning the
policy of the board as to the continu
ance of street paving, Mr. Cherry said:
"It will be our policy to continue to
improve the streets, but it is likely
that we will discontinue the use of as
phalt, for there is something wrong
with that, it is not giving the service
it should, but our policy will be bet
ter streets for less money.
"During the winter months I will do
the street inspecting myself, and we
will save the salary of the street in
spector for at least three or four
months at $S3 per month. Of course
It will be necessary to have an inspec
tor when spring comes again, bue we
will have made a little saving in this
department"
Concerning the Sunday closing law
Mr. Cherry said he intended to con
sult the lpading business men here
and obtain their views, but there was
one thing he was positive on, and that
was that all business houses must be
closed during church hours, or from
10 o'clock Sunday morning until 1
o'clock In the rfternoon. Mr. Cherry
Baid it is likely the garages will be
made to close just as the drug stores
and other places of business. He said
he could see no more harm in buying
a cigar than in buying ten gallons of
gasoline for a joy ride. Then, too,
there is a certain class of people who
are able to buy drinks and cigars at
all times of the day Sunday, while oth
ers are not. Mr. Cherry said that he
did hot believe in this distinction be
ing made. The Sunday closing law he
said is but a relic of the old days when
the open saloon was here, and laws
were made to see that the Balloons
closed, even the combination grocery
and saloon. The changes in the law
have not kept pace with the changing
times, and no mention whatever is
made of garages, soft drink ' stands
and other places of business which
were unknown when the' law was
framed. Mr. Cherry said he had visit
ed a number of local business men al
ready, and had found a sentiment fa
voring Sunday opening, but before any
fixed policy is announced, other busi
ness men will be interviewed.
Law enforcement will be another
forte, of the incoming administration.
Mr. Cherry said that he would have
police powers after his 'inauguration
as mayor, and would be with the po
lice force until "bed time" each night.
Merciless publicity is advocated by
Mayor-elect Cherry for the cure of
most evils. He said it was his pur
pose to give the public due notice of
all arrests, either rich or poor, white
or black. No matter if the richest
man of the city is arrested for non ob
servance of the traffic regulations it
will be promptly reported, just as if
he were a negro laborer.

Although It Is Understood That Me
Kellar Will Back Albright for the
Place Friends of Witt Here Are
Very Much Interested.
Of great interest here where he has
hundreds of .friends will be the an
nouncement contained in Washington
dispatches to the effect that the sen
ators from Tennesse will defeat the
confirmation of George B. Witt to be
marshal for this division. It is stat
ed that both Senators Shields and
McKellar will oppose confirmation of
Mr. Witt, which will of course defeat
him.
- Mr. Witt was appointed on the re
commendation of his old classmate at
Culleoka, Former Attorney General
Watt Gregory. Both the senators had
made other recommendations and
they are said to have been greatly
chagrinned when the appointment of
Mr. Witt was announced, although he
gave each of them loyal support. Mr.1
Witt is a member of the democratic
state committee and in the last cam
paign supported both Senator Shields
and Got. Roberts,, but this fact does
not appear to have any weight with
Senator Shields or Senator McKellar.
It is understood that when the nom
ination of Mr. Witt is repected by
the senate, Senator Shields will insist
on the appointment of Vernor Sharp,
of Nashville, while Mr. McKellar will
advocate his former campaign manag
er. Editor Ed Albright, of Gallatin, for
the same place. Belief is general that
they will finally agree on Senator
Shields choice and that the plum will
go to Sharp.
Maury county had an active appli
cant for the place before Mr. Witt
was appointed in the person of ex-
Sheriff Claude Godwin, but the lat
ter Is no longer pushing his claims but
is preparing to enter the milling busi
ness. Mr. Witt qualified under a re
cess appointment about nine months
ago and has been serving since.

CAPPER PREDICTS
A BIG REDUCTION
III WHEAT CROP
SAYS FARMER WILL NEVER AF
FILIATE WITH FEDERATION
OF LABOR.
EVER INCREASING COST IS CAUSE
Farm Machinery Much Higher Re
turned Soldiers Will Not Resume
Farm Work May Expect Higher
Bread Prices Next Year.
(By United Press.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17. Farmers
are having their trobles, too.
Indications point to greatly reduced
crops next year because of this dis
content, according to Senafor Capper,
of Kansas, publisher of several agri
cultural papers.
Farmers are not planning to strike
exactly, but there is a general expecta
tion that acreage will be greatly re
duced, Capper said in an interview
late yesterday.
Low profits, labor shortages, high
wages and rising costs of implements
are some of the reasons assigned.
"The American farmer won't go on
strike, but he is getting mighty sul
len," Capper declared. "Wheat acre
age will fall off "probably one-third
next year and the general crops are
going to be smaller.
"I don't think there is any concerted
movement among the farmers along
this line. No farm organization so far
as I know has adopted resolutions
urging a deliberate curtailing of pro
duction. But nevertheless farmers
are individually sizing up the situa
tion and are deciding to go slowly
next year.
"I receive many letters dally from
farmers, complaining about nearly ev
erything. Hog prices are down, wheat
will probably be lower next year,
while labor costs are going up."
Ex soldiers are refusink to go back
to the farms and are flocking to the
cities, Capper asserted. During wheat
harvest it is almost impossible to get
help, he stated. The farmer Is there
fore turning from wheat to corn and
other crops which do not require har
vesting during a short period In the
middle of the summer. He is distrib
uting his crops so that he can do most
of the work alone.

ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 18. William
Jennings Bryan has accepted the
chairmanship of the prohibition en
forcement campaign for Florida, it
was announced today by Edward
Young Clarke, southeastern director,
at headquarters here. The former
secretary of state now lives in Flori

campaign. It is probable that he will
speak in the other southeastern states
as well as in Florida. The organiza

in the southeastern states. Mr.. Bry

of his executive committee shortly.
The prohibition campaign is aimed
solely at the illegallzed liquor traffic
although workers in the movement
will do everything In the their power
to back and assist the government,
state, county and city officials in en

will be done, nor will homes be invad

is to be operated against those who
manufacture and sell liquor illegally.
One of its features is a program of
Americanization and education as to
the law.
