MALARIA IS THE ENEMY THAT
DESTROYS.
FERRALINE has been tested, and
the results speak for themselves,
and us a strength-builder and Tonic
to overcome malaria, there is nothing
superior to the great Natural Mineral
Tonic. '
Mr. J. B. Davidson, a prominent
lumberman, who risked his life in
the "Big Swamps" of the Bigbee Riv
er, writes:
"Two years ago I was engaged in
the timber business and camped in
the river swamp and became so full
of malaria that I Buffered a long,
hard sppll of malarial fever, common
ly called "swamp fever." After, I got
out of bed I was so completely run
down that for 'months'! "continued to
. lose flesh and grow, weaker and was
entirely unfitted for any business. I
lost thirty-five pounds and was grow
ing worse and still losing. flesh when
I began the use, of FERRALINE. Be
fore using one bottle I began to im
prove. My appetfte was stimulated
and I began to gain strength and felt
a general improvement. After the
second bottle I was free of any weak
ness and the bad effects of malaria
and steadily Improved until I fully
recovered and regained my llesh
and strength.
I feel sure that Ferraline saved me
from a general decline and loss of
health and I am glad to recommend
FERRALINE To any one, for it has
done a great deal for me.
Other members of my family have
since used Ferraline as ,. a general
tonic and at all times it has been
most effective. Respectfully,
J. B? DAVIDSON.

TAXAT16N FOR YEARS, IS HIT
BY ROBERTS TAX LAW.
"Tennessee's new lax assessment
law is one of the fairest that has been
written upon the statute books in a
decade" said an old solSIer, and vet
eran democrat this morning to a rep
resentative of The Herald. Continu
, ing he Said "It appears to me that
theer is no reaKissue in this cam
paign its merely a misunderstanding
of the new tax law. For instance
there's the fellow down in Obion coun
ty who has bsen paying for years
and years on a property assessment
o $700. He has been getting by with
this assessment. Recently he sold
this farm for $10,500 and the place
was assessed at its market value.
The little fellow just across the fence
who had a small place had been pay
ing on an assessment near the full
worth of his farm. Hundreds of In
stances like this have been uncovered
throughout the state when the law
sought to assess all property at Its
market value. When this has been
done the tax rate decreases corres
pondingly."

Not less than two hundred and forty
acres of summer plowing will be done
at the Middle Tennessee Experiment
Station, stated Prof. Hume, the su
perintendent, today.. This land will
be seeded this fall to crimson clover
and some of it to grasses. For the
past two years the management of the
station has been building up the worn
and run down fields by the use of le
gumes, lime and manure, but now the
farm has been brought to appoint
where its real organization can begin.
Prof. Wilson, dean of the college of
agriculture, has been here and figured
out the crop roation for the farm as
it has been divided, that will carry it
through a period of fourteen years.
There will be a number of pasture
areas and in addition several fields
upon which the rotation experiments
will be carried out. There will also
be the innuemarble demonstrations
plats and the dairy and hog units of
the farm.
The foundation for the dairy herd
has already been secured and just as
fast as possible this herd will be Increased.

THREE HUNDRED ENJOY ANNUAL
REUNION OF THE KINZER FAMILY
(Friday's Daily Herald.) vj
Nearly 300 people attended the re
union of the Kinzer family at the May
berry lawn at Sawdust Valley on
Thursday: They came from far ini
near and there were relatives present
from other states who long ago wan
dered from the old home. It was a
joyous reunion of the young and old
and the day was most happily spent.
Mrs. George Nick McKennon, of Cul
leoka, . delivered a beautiful address
of welcome in verse. The response
was made by Rev. J. B. Spurlock, pas
tor of the Methodist church at Wil
liamsport, who presided over the exer
cises. An exhaustive history of the Kinzer
family from the time that the original
ancestors settled in Sawdust Val
ley region, was presented and read by
Rev. James H. Nance, of Sawdust Val
ley. Copies of this interesting contri
bution will be preserved by members
of the family.
Shortly after noon a a big basket
dinner was spread beneath the shade
of the grand old trees some of which
in the early part of the last century
had sheltered the forbears of many
who were present. The dinner con
sisted of everything that was tempting
to the palate of a Southerner and a
Tennessean and was served in the
greatest abundance, the enviable repu
tation of that community for old fash
ioned hospitality being more than sustained.

'Unqualified approval was given the
resolution of Squire Jackson provid

the addition of $200,000 for community

Columbia at a largely attended meet
ing held on Thursday night. The res

are as follows:
"Resolved ' by the Columbia Credit

LASTING HIGWAY PROBLEM
v OPINION OF EXPERTS.
PRESENT REVENUE INADEQUATE
Waste to Try to Make Roads Under
Existing Conditions With L?ss Than
a Hundred Dollars a Mile No Pro
posal to Increase Funds.
That the county court will at its
special session on August 12 approve
the Jackson road bond resolutions
with the amendment to cover the
road recommended for the communi
ties by the county council of agricul
ture, is the general opinion express
ed y those in touch with the situa
tion. A member of the county court
declared today that the peor-lo would
much more heartily support the Jack
son proposals than they would a res
olution simply to extend aid to cer
tain of the state and federal aid high
ways. "Let no one doubt the result of the
election if the bond issue is submitted
to the people as proposed in this res
olutions," said a well informed citi
zen. "It will carry by a large major
ity. The bulk of the people of the
county are for good roads. They are
thoroughly dissatisfied with existing
roads and they know that It would be
almost confiscatory to try to con
struct good roads over the county out
of a single year's taxes. Therefore a
bond issue is the only solution. It is
either that or permit the roads to re

for the construction of school or com

the recommendations made at the last
session of the directorate of the coun
ty council of agriculture.
"Resolved, That we further pledge
ourselves individually and as an asso
ciation, in the event said bond issue
is submitted to the people to vote and
work untiringly for a favorable verdict
at the polls, to the end that every sec
tion and every community of Maury
county may share in the benefits and
blessings that come from improved
and permanent highways."
no one proposes to increase it, but
rather to diminish it, Ms just large
enough to make everybody mad. It
Is a waste to talk about spending a
hundred dollars a mile ott the present
roads in Maury county. It would be
m,ore economical to spend nothing,
or at least ten times that sum. With
lthis condition confronting the people
iney are certain to approve a bond
issue as the only solution."
BOTH ARE FOR JUDGESHIP
In Only One of the Five Divisions of
the County Is Any Opposition in

Formal notice of the election for
August. 5 next, has been given by the
commfssioners of election of this

this county will vote for a chancellor
of this division to fill the remainder

In the second division composed of
the third and fourth districts, Andrew
Jackson Hardison, recently appointed
by Superintendent Graham to fill a va

TREMENDOUS VOLUME OF WORK
IN OFFICE ROAD COMMISSION
One of the businest places in Co
lumbia on Saturday is the offices of
the county highway commission. Dur
ing the day the offices are crowded
with people who have been engaged
in working roads, repairing bridges
and culverts, and at 11 o'clock this
morning Superintendent Butler had
already made out a dozen pay rolls
calling for an aggregate of many hun
dreds of dollars and the crowd was
increasing all the time.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
task that confronts the highway
commission and the rqad superintend
ent I nthe county may be obtained
from the statement made this morn
ing by Superintendtnt Butter that
since the first day of this year he had
worked on eighty-four separate brldg-1
cs, a bridge being defined as a span
of twelve feet or more. In the same
period he had worked on 234 culverts
in the county. Of the bridges three
concrete spans have been finished and
five solid concrete culverts have been
finished. It Is the policy of the com-
f mission to construct concrete culverts
whenever the funds will justify it.
Once a good concrte culvert has been
placed it is done with for all time to
come.
Viewing the work that was being
done in the commission's office this
morning and hearing the flood of crit
icism that is always directed at it.
a citizen not overly blessed with this
world's goods remarked: "I would
not have your job for $5,000 a year,
plowing would be preferable."
