SHEEP SHEARING
Itli COUNTY LATE
BECAUSE Of GOLD
VERY; LITTLE WOOL HAS 80 FAR
COME TO THE MARKET IN :
; COLUMBIA.
FLEECE IS SOMEWHAT LIGHT
,'' 7 rt iii. mi , 77
Only Forty Cent Boing Paid by tho
Dealers here, , a Decline of Over
Fifty'. Per Cent A Compared' With
War Prices. .
Cohf, wet weather ',s delaying Bhoep
shearing In the county until an unus
ual y jate date .Ordinarily the wool
begins' to come freely to jnurket by
the firfet week of May but so far very
little has been brought In thin sea
son. . it will take a couple of weeks
of warjn, dry weather before anything
like a hormal c)lp will eomo to market.
The' fleece, generally is rather light
th s se.n8on7 There" was no abundance
of winter green crops and that a'.ways
has an effect on the wool clip. In
normal seasons the sheep in this court
ty go i through the winter almost en
tirety bn pasture and the furmers here
ure not accustomed to fed their ewes
to any! extent,; This condition Inevit
ably results In a lighter fleece.
The .prlce of wool has declined near
ly fifty per cent In thejpast two years
and there ought to be some hojie for
cheaper clothing at some time In the
future Dealers are offering forty
cents or wool that Is free ..from, burrs,
a finej price compared with pie-war
Values, but two years ago over sixty
cent was paid and last year the farm
ers got more, than they are receiving
this aeatttm. ; ;. '
It. is; impossible to estimate the to
tal wijol clfp of the county, but In
spite df the lighter fleece it Is expect
ed to fchow ''ftn increase over that of
last year, due to the tact that the
slieep population has Increased. .. Even
at the: lower price of forty cents a
pound jits value wilt total a pretty big

SAYS IT KEPT HIM ,
- ' ON THE PAY ROLL
G. C JAMES WAS REMARKABLY
BUILT UP AFTER TAKING
TAN LAC.
"Nothing kept mo on the payroll
of the Illinois Meter Co., but Tanlac,
tor I had already made arrangements
to give up my position when I began
taking it,". sii:d G. C. James who
lives at 1419 Franklin Ave., Spring
field,' 111. ; N
"I had suffered from rheumatism
and stomach trouble for fifteen
years," he continued, "and got In such
bad shape ). could hardly get about.
The rheumatism ' was especially bad
in my legs and sometimes my left leg
would swell to twice its hormal size.
My kidneys were also In such a con
dition I could seldom get a good
night's rest, and so far as eating was
concerned well, before I began tak
ing Tanlac I had not enjoyed a meal
in years. I suffered so from indiges
tion, and I had such dizzy spells I
would have to lie(down. I became so
weak I, often gave out completely
while at' work and they would have
to take ma home In a car, so it is
a wonder I held up at all.
"One day one of the men 1 work
with suggested that t try Taiiluc and
as long as I live I will praise the
day I bough it, for I haven't a trace
of rhemuatiEm nw and I eat every
thing set before me without any bad
after effects. The dizzy spells are
thing's of the past and my kidneys
never bother me any more; every
night I sleep like a log and I weigh
Just thirty-eight pounds more than I
did when I begun taking Tanlac. I
feel twenty years younger and am in
perfect health, and there i3 nothing
in the' world I would take for the
good Tan!ac has done me."
"Tanlac is sold in Columbia by 8ml
ser Drug Co., in Santa Fe by It: P.
Pigg, and Isom It. F. p. from Hamp
shire by J. J. Savage, in Mt.Pleasanl
by City Drug Co., Lunn Drug Co.,

Eflniand Is Also After the Blood That
Has Added Fame and Glory to the
Dimple Walter Direct's Death Wis
a Great Blow. ',
Never has there been such a de
mand for horses with Maury county's
famous Hal blood as there Is today.
The Hals and the Directs and crosses
of the two are wanted literally all
over the world. As an illustration, jt
may be stated that during the past
month or so William J. Webster, Jr.,
known as one of the best informed
horsemen of the South, has received
inquiries Jroti, as far off as Austra
lia and from Ixmdon, England, for
horses with the Maury county royal
blood in their veins.
Ayalter Direct's get are in demand
at most any prices that the owners
want to ask. Geldings, young fillies,
old mares and young stallions, it does
not make any difference Jf they are
by Walter Direct and out of a mare of
Hal breeding they are picked up like
hot cakes until now nearly all of the
stock has gdne from Maury county.
Walter Direct is even more famous in
death than he was before he joined
the other great horses fn the county's
celebrated Valhalla of horsedom. His
colts have been picked up wherever
they could be found in this county.
. Only this week William J. Webster
purchased from Squire W. E. Ballan
fant the gelding Chaffln Direct, bred
at Sleepy Hollow, paying a price more
than double what Squire Ballanfant
paid for the horse. Mr. Webster be
lieves that this horse is destined to
go into the list. Another young Ally
by Walter Direct, purchased from
Col. Jonas T. Amis, promises to be a
star performer and already some flat
tering offers have been, refused for
her. The foiff year old filly Julia M.
Direct is already assured ot a 2:1,0
mark. -'- 0 '' ' '
It would not be possible to estimate
the loss that the horse interests of
Maufy county have sustained jn the
death of the great sire WaHer Di
rect. " Mr. Tdlley, ' the bwrier had
mares booked from more than a dozen
states of the Union and many of theml
already at Tolley Farm.
BANK STATEMENTS
LOCAL INSTITUTIONS
MAURY AND PHOENIX NATIONAL
MAKE UNUSUALLY GOOD SHOW
ING AT COMPTROLLER CALL..
Despite the fact that during the
past sixty days there has been a re
duction of over a billion dollars in
bank deposits in the nation, the state
ments of the two national banks of
Columbia, published, show little
change in tho deposits as compared
with the last statement, indicating
that" financial conditions here are
much better than the country's aver
age. The. reduction of bank deposits
in the nation has been due to the con
traction of credits as required by the
federal reserve system. The Colum
bia banks both make magnificent
statements. They are taking care of
the needs of their customers and at
the same time pursuing that sound
and conservative'policy that has made
them such strength.

LACK OF DITCHES
CAUSING SOIL OF
MAURY TO WASH
H. B. BLISS, RURAL ENGINEER,
IMPRESSED WITH IMPERATIVE
i NEED OF DITCHES HERE.
INSPECTS FARMS OF COUNTY
Practical Demonstrations Given This
Week In Three Sections Great In
terest Is, Being Manifested In Work
By Farmers.
H. B. Bliss, rural engineer of the
department of extension left Thursday
for Knoxville after having conducted
ditching and terracing demonstrations
upon the farms of L. Morrell in the
Sawdust Valley section, James Rilley
on the Mt. Pleasant pike, and Ernest
Murphy. These demonstrations were
largely attended by enthusiastic farm
ers, great interest being manifested
In more scientific drainage.
On the farm f, Ernest Murphy, En
gineer Bliss threw up a terrace sever
al hundred feet long and twenty feet
wide, which will prevent the wasKins
of land. County Agricultural Agent
McLean said this- morning "Contra
ry to the belief of many farmers, this
terracing does not prevent cultivation
over it. The farmer may put his crop
right in over the terrace.. TjBere is
another great advantage in terracing,
and that is that It conserves the hill
side water, the terrace being of loose
dirt, being thrown up with a ditcher,
catches and retains the water coming
from higher up the hill. In the event
a second terrace is run twenty or thir
ty feet further down the hill the moist
ure caught in the first terrace will al
most supply the' space between the
two terraces with sufficient moisture.
Engineer Bliss after looking over
the county, said that hewas greatly
Impressed with the imperative, needs
of better ditching in this county. On
several farms he found that i where
ditches' had' been laid oft by the eye,
that the line was some five or ten
feet out of its rightful place. Only a
level can be depended upon in. the lay
ing but of ditches. ;
There is an enormous amount of
ditching and terracing that should be
done in this county immediately. Dur
ing the present spring, Maury county
farms have been badly washed by tor
rential rains. ' Farm . land that has
never before suffered from this cause
in the past, has been deeply gullied by
recent downpours', and unless some
thing to prevent further washing is
done, thousands of tons of Maury's
most fertile soil will be washed away,
and scores of fine fields absolutely
ruined. - '
Realizing the imperative need of
this county, Mr. Bliss is planning to
return to Maury county at least onca
each month tint.il some relief is ob
tained by the farmers. The date of
his next appearance in this countyshas
not yet been fixed, but It has been an
nounced that when he returns he will
give demonstrations in ditching, hill
side drainage and terracing, and all
farmers interested will be invited to
attend these demonstrations. An ef
fort, will be made to conduct several
demonstrations in widely removed sec
tions of the county, in order that as !
many farmers as possible may see
what is being done by the division of
extension. '
County Agent McLean said that he
intends to purchase a level just,,, as
scon as possible and that he will get
busy helping the farmsre ditch their
'arm lands. Mr. McLean says that a
full year could be put In at this work
to a good advantage.

LITTLE CHILD OF MR. AND MRS.
C. C. COOK DRINKS COAL OIL
WITH FATAL RESULTS. .
Little Mildred Doff Cook, eighteen
months eld daughter of Mrj and Mrs.
Charles C. Cook, died at 4 o'clock
Thursday afternoon at the home of her
parents, one mile on the Santa Fe
Viike, as the result of having taken a
swallow of coal oil, becoming stran
ded, the oil entered her lungs. She
lived for twenty four hours after the
Lragfc accident, never regaining con
sciousness, however. Her two little
bothers had taken some coal oil con
ta.ned in a cup Into the yard, when
the little child picked it up and at
tempted to drink It.
The grief stricken parents have the
heartfelt sympathy of the entire com
munity. The little girl is survived by her
parents and two Lttle brothers. Th3
funeral will be conducted Saturday '

Chattanoocan Is 8ur 'to Get the Hon
or As He Did in 1904 Was Last
1 Candidate Who Engaged in Joint
g Discussion In State.
Diamonds have increased 160 per
cent in value, and emeralds 300 per
oent during 'the last few years, while
rubies have decreased. ,
Although he has been importuned
by members of his party from all sec
tions of the state to become a candi
date for the republican nomination
It has become definitely known that
Hon. Raleigh S. Hopkins, of , this
county will not be a candidate this
year. Mr. Hopkins was not unappre
ciatlve of the honor tendered him by
his friends over the state and the
unanimous endorsement of his party
In this county, but it is certain that he
has passed up the honor.
. It Is also assured that Mr. Hopkins'
decision was known to Hon. Jesse M.
Littleton, of Chattanooga, before the
latter announced his candidacy for
the nomination. In fact had Mr. Hop
kins been an aspirant Littleton would
not have announced his candidacy.
That Littleton Will be the nominee
for governor despite opposition from
one of his own townsmen, Major Chas.
R. Evans, Is generally conceded among
the republicans here. The candidacy
of Major Evans is not taken serious
ly. He is an accomplished gentleman,
a professor of law In the University
of Chattanooga. He is an accomplish
ed speaker, but he Is without any per
sonal following.
Littleton Is known to all of the re
publicans of Tennessee. He was the
standard bearer of that party against
Frazler sixteen years ago. that was
the last campaign when there was a
joint debate between the candidates
for governor of Tennessee. He and
Frazier met on thirty stumps in the
state, ten in each grand division.
