NEW YORK, June 9. A boom for
the nomination of ' General John J.
Pershing on the democratic ticket
. was Bet iu motion here . today . with
, the announcement that Edward E.

tjewnan from Missouri is in Washing-

te'ndiha. San Francisco convention aa
th guest of the big Missouri delega
tion who will go to the Pacific city
on a special train.
General Pershing's native state in
Missouri, and the men behind the
movement claim that he is eligible
for .the nomination on the democratic
platform, although he has no definite
party alllgnment. The Coltra party
has arranged to invite prominent na
tive sons ;;pf Missouri, and it was
stated thai-among these,. Secretary
of. State. Colby has already accepted
and that, Augustus Thomas, playright
and orator, also a Missourian is book
ed to nominate Pershing.
Thaannounfement of the move

T
OF HAY Oil FARM
CROP OF RED CLOVER AT CLIF
,TON PLACE LARGEST EVER
r SAVED IN THE COUNTY.
Splendid progress la reported from
the great hay fields of William P. Rid
ley at Clifton Place, where the largest
acreage of red clover ever grown in
Maury county on a single farm is be
ing cut'and saved for hay. Immense
forces of men, both town and country
folks are in the fields as soon as j 03
ible in the morning and until fate at
' night in a desperate effort to s ive
this hay while "the sun is shining."
There, are no less than 650 acres to
be saved and men who have been cut
ttag It declare than an estimate cf.a
tori and a half to the acre would be
very conservative. That means that
If; it should all be saved this crop
will yield Mr. Ridley no less than
1,000 tons f: fine clover hay. But it
costs aboufh'alf of the crop to save it.
Much of the hay is being saved "on
the shares, that is the men who are
cutting it are getting one-half of the
- amount ihf save.' .'.
But event that the crop will be a
very profltaie one as clover hay is
bringing froni $25 to $30 a ton. In or
der to take care of the hay Mr. Rid
ley is building several additional
sheds. But the hay crop after all is
not the most valuable feature of this
acreage. The crop haa been - grown
iar.ro! v fnr a seed crop. For many
vears Mr. Ridley has been an exfen
slve grower of disease resisting, red
cloveiseed and he hopes to save this
entire acreage for seed. At anything
like present prices for seed it will be
much more profitable than the hny
crop. The two crops will be of im
mense value to the land.
WOULD BE ASPIRANTS OUT
Several Have Looked Over Field But
They Have Reached Conclusion
That People Can Get On Without
Their Services for Yet a While.
At noon today the time limit expir
ed within which candidates could an
nounce for county offices and be con
sidered subject to the democratic par
ty. At that time only the incumbents
of the four offices to; be voted for in
August had declared an intention of
making the race.
- There fore acting . under the rule
adopted by the committee at its last
meeting the announced candidates are
the democratic nominees for their re
spective offices. Thoy are:
County Judge W. C. Whitthorne.
County Trustee J. Ross Burns.
Tax Assessor Webb Williams.
Sheriff Gabriel K. Houser.
It is not anticipated that there will
be'anyjndependent or republican can
didates to contest with these nomi
nees at the August election. They
will have smooth sailing.
At times for several months oppos
ing candidates for sheriff and for coun
ty judge have been mentioned and dis
cussed. - Mara thaa,4ne aspirant for
these offices has yielded to the sedu-
tive allurments of overzealous friends
within that period to the extent that
they have looked over the field and
sounded out sentiment. They have in
variably found that while there was
"dissatisfaction" there was no clarion
call to them to save the country.
Aside from' the distrldt contest
there will tfe nothing at the August
election to attract the voters to the
polls and a record light vote may be
expected.
Teachers have been elected by the
county board of education as follows:

Valuable historical worfc fljr the
state is being done by Director John
Trotwood Moore, of the department of
library, archives and history, in the
form of an exhibition of a model
12x25 feet, showing flljty aicres of
battlefield in complete exactness of
German and allied trenches, with No
Man's Land in between, barb wire en
tanglements, machine 'gun nests, bar
riers, shell holes, roadways, German
concrete trenches, pill boxes and ad
vance, dressing stations. It is a com-l
plete model of the battle-front of the
Ainerican boys in the great world
war.
Captain Beerworth, who is in
charge of this exhibition, is a very
gallant officer, a former resident of
Nashville, but who volunteered and
enlisted in the Cauadian, army. He
spent nearly twenty two months at
the front with the Canadians and was
badly wounded at Arras in 1918.
While convalescing in England, he
built his first model of a small sec
tor in Flanders which was afterwards
purchased by the war department for
Instructing engineer officers.
With the donation given to the ex
hibition now visiting the prjncipal
towns and cities of Tennessee, Cap
tain Beerworth will build a model sec
tor of the famous Hindenburg line,
first broken y Tennessee soldiers,
for the state historical museum.

Found Loafing About Streets.
Those Not Working Will Be Given

"Men, both white and black, who
are loafin around the streets of Co
lumbia, 'waiting for a job that pays
big wages,' will find themselves work
ing for forty cents per day, and of
course board, if they don't watch their
step," said Mayor W. 0. Cherry to' a
representative of The Herald this
morning. The mayor continued "We
have been having many complaints
that strong able bodied men are loaf
infl. around Columbia, while crops in
the county are still unplanted, while
the hay crop is spoiling for harvest,
and farmers are pleading for help,
but there are many other employers
of labor here pleading for more hands,
and when these loafers are approach
ed and asked if they do not want to
go to work, the only answer is 'What
do you pay?' No matter what this is,
the loafer is expecting another place
to open up In a day or two at much
better wages, and will Just wait until
then."
Mayor Cherry said this morning "I
want you to give these loafers fair
warning: You mayvktl them if they
do not work they cannot stay Co

black or white, rich or poor, he has
