Guarantors of the Chautauqua ticket
sale mot Tuesday and planned a vig
orous campaign for the sale of the
750 tickets for which they are pledg
ed. The city and comity were divid
ed into districts after the manner of
tho drives during the war and guaran
tors in- groups of twos were assigned
to each territory. These guarantors
will 'sell the tickets for which they
have written pledges in their respec
tive territories and in addition can
vass for others.
The Chautauqua tent this year will
bo located on the lot to the east of the
County HiPh School, an ideal location,
near the center of the city, with plen
ty of shade and air. The program is
one of the most ambitious ever pre
sented to (be people of Columbia and
Maury county and no trouble whatev
er is anticipated in the sale of the
tickets.
In the list of guarantors published
in The Herald yesterday the name
Aided Fleming Thomas was inadver
tently omitted. Mr. Thomas is one
of the most enthusiastic supporters of
the Chautauqua and has already pledg
ed himself to the sale of not less thnu
fifty adult tickets.
On Sunday, May 23, Tennessee Epis
copalian a will make a pilgrimago to
historic St. John'u church on the Mt.
Pleasant pike, tho shrine of the con
gregation in this state. - ,
Special services will be conducted
at 3 o'clock p. m. The Right Reveend
Troy Beatty, Bishop Coadjutor of
Tennessee will deliver tho principal
address. Music will be furnished by
tho choir of St. Peter's church of Co
lumbia. It is planned' to-have the
membership of St. Peter's church of
Columbia and tho students of the In
stitute attend the service in a body.
Around this historic church much
history has been made. It is in tho
churchyard that Bishop Otcy, first
bishop of Tennessee, is buried, it is
there that Bishop Leoniilas Polk, dis
tinguished Confederal o general,
sleeps. Following the ba ttle of Frank
lin five Confederate generals wero
buried there, among them being Gen.
Pat Cleburne. These bodies-were pre
pared for burial at Franklin by Bish
op Quintan!, who built tho caskets
and brought the bodies to the church
yard on an ox cart. After the close
of the war the bodies wore removed to
the slates of their nativity.
Historic St. Johns is the church of
the distinguished Polk family of Ten
nessee, ami at one time was known
as one of the most aristocratic congre
Rations in the state, but members of
the congregation have either died or
removed from the community, and for
the past few years, no regular services
have been held there, but occasionally
the historic old building is opened
and special seiViccs held, there. It is
expected that the building will be kept
in the very best repair possible, and
just as nearly as possible as it ap
peared back in ante-bellum days.

ROAD COMMUTATION
TAX DUE ON JUNE 1
MANY OWNERS OF VEHICLES
HAVE FAILED TO SETTLE LI
CENSE FEES FOR THIS YEAR.
Road commutation taxes arc due on
June 1 ami after that date they be
come delinquent. So far ory few have
paid this tax in the county but a rush
is exrected about the first of the
month as the penalty is a heavy one.
Til's head tax of $." is expected to
yield in the neighborhood of $l.',,(!o.t
for fl:e road funds during the yenr.
There are many owners of cars and
buggies and olher wheled vehicles in
the county who have not paid the
wheel tax for this year. Some of them
have been delinquent since the first
of the year. Circuit court convenes
next Monday and it is probable that
Judge Turner will vigorously call at
tention in his charge to the grand jury
to the vehicle tax law.
Lambs are showing much better
quality than bad been anticipated,
said M. E. Allen, tho veteran .cattle,
hog and sheep buyer, who is now in
the thirty-ninth year of his cxpercnee
in that business. Mr. Alien on Satur
day shipped two car loads that aver
aged 75 pounds each which is general
ly regarded as a good average, for the
first of June. It is probable that
lambs , delivered June 1 will run
around eighty pounds or more. Since
they are bringing fifteen cents and
better this will mean an average of
$12 a head to the growers. The lamb
crop of the county is larger than it
has been in several years. The mor
tality, during the winter was under
the average, so that those farmers
who nave suoep are going to nave 9
profitable season.

From present Indications tho vote
next Monday on the road question in
the. special session of the county court,
provided tho court has power to take
any action, will bo close. Eleven mem
bers of the court have signed tho peti
tic.n for tho extra session. This is two
lens .than a majority, but at least three
or four members of the court have not
been seen and are, so far as known,
ncn-committal on any motion. It is
likewise true that at least one of the
signers of the petition for the call has
declared that he expects to stand-by
tho contract but will insist that there
bo an additional bond issue of a sum
sufficient to construct all of the origi
nal project. ,
The eleven members of tho court
who have so far signed the call are
Justices Derryherry and Farrls, of the
third district;, Hardison and Pinsliton,
of the fourth district; Denton, of the
fifth district; Matthews and English,
of the six,th district; Wilkes, of the
eighth district; Carr, of the ninth dis
trict, and Akin and Stanfil, of the
tenth district. The petition for tho
extra session does not commit any
signer to any line of action. They are
just as free to vote as they think best
as are the members who have not
signed the call.
So far as known there is no well
defined plan worked out among the op
ponents of the road contract on the
Spring Hill road. They are against
the construction of the road at a cost
of $:i5,000 a milo, but they are by no
means certain Wiat they-have a rem
edy or if they have one what it will
be., Chairman William W. House, of
the state highway commission, has
announced that he would attend the
meeting of the court here Monday and
defend the action of the state highway
commission and explain its reasons
ior letting tne contract at s;5i,uuu a
mile.
One thing is certain, despite the fact
that 'the farmers are behind with 'their
work, there is going to be a goodly
crowd of people in town Monday. In
terest in the highway project is much
more intense than it is in the demo
cratic convention to be held Saturday.

PROTESTS AGAINST
HIGHWAY CONTRACT
WRITER DECLARES THAT IT
AN OUTRAGE UPON THE LIB
ERTIES OF THE PEOPLE.
IS
To the Editor of The Herald:
Not since the days when America
was. about to declare her independ
ence has a hody of men faced a task
so perilous as the one which tho high
way commission was forced up against
when letting the contract to build a
road from Spring Hill to Columbia.
Some man estimated the cost per
mile at ?12,000. that was before the
court had voted $200,000 to construct
one-third of the forty-three miles.
Whoever this gentleman was lie. evi
dently knows nothing about tho cost
of roads or he knows nothing about
highwaymen and contractors, for the
bid accepted was $35,01)0, or three
tiinns the estimated cost. The forty
three miles at this rate will cost $1,
505,000; Maury county"s part will be
$501.f.66.fi6.
At the estimated cost of $12,000 the
forty-three miles would cor.t4516.C00.
just $11,033.33 more than Maury's part
as the contract now stands.
To build all the roads of Maury
county at this rate would cost $12,000,
000. The county would have to be
sold to pay for them and then maybe
have to vote a few bonds.
At any rato thise gents were In a
trap. It was either lose the $300,000
the state and nation had put tp or o.ic
the $200,000 the court had voted. No
steps backward and only one way for
ward, a bad fix indeed. It's reported
that the commission wept bitterly
when it found out that it had to ac
cept this bid or the state and nation
al government would withdraw tlnir
money. Shame on n state and nation
that would so impose , upon a poor,
hi'lpless. innocent little commission.
With the state and nation setting
sii'-h an exami Ip. it's no wonder th"
section from Spring Hill to Columlia
are willing for the county to bui'd
them a one and one-half million dollar
that amount. A few years ago Missis
sippi for $5,200 per mile shipped met
al from Illinois and built, according
to those who have seen it, the best.
road to be found anywher.
Hickman county, where. they do bus
iness in a business way, dnd.elithinate'
a lot of things which Maury practices,
especially in this connection, for $'400
000 built nearly one hundred miles of
road.
fs to the same old trait which has
manifested itself ever since the days
of Cain, "Get something for nothing,"
which has led many a man into entan
glements from which he was never
able to extricate himself. Maury emm-tshould-chango
her political affilia
tions to fit her doings to her creed, for
centralized power or concentrated
wealth stands at variah.ee and in oppo
sition to true democracy.
The traveler today finds at least two
advantages of Mr. Itainey's system
over the present. Namely, the man
who did the traveling did the paying
and Mr. Rainey was held accountable
to the county authorities. Next tiling
you know there will be a move onito
abolish our county court.
You who do not want something for
nothing answer this. What right has
Maury county over every other county
in the slate and union to this $300,000?
Suppose that every section of this na
tion the size and wealth of Maury
county should receive $300,000, which
according to justice it should have
wherein would Maury gain. Again
what right has the section from Spring
Hill to Mt, rieasant to tnko other sec
tion's money and build them a boule
vard. It's Alex Hamilton's idea on a
-smaller scale. Legalized robbery.
Maury county has abused the north
since the sixties for this very thins
and practiced it in its own home.
Would it notiie wise in county, ctat9
and nation to "Render unto Caesar
that which is Caesar's?" Respectfully

Dr. J. C. Molloy, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church, preached tho
commencement sermon at the County
High School on Sunday njorning to an
audience that packed the spacious au
ditorium to its limit. Not only waa
there a largo attendance from tho city
but nearly every section of tho county
was represented in the large assembly.
The services were participated in
by tho majority of tho churches of,
the city, the Presbyterian and Meth

by the choir of the First Methodist
church was one of unusual beauty, tho

especialy enjoyable feature.
The thirty-seven young ladles and
young men who make up the graduat

the faculty in a body and 'presented
