County
Will
(From Monday's Daily Herald.)
At .1 meeting of the county judge,
'Ounty attorney, county tax assessor
and members of the board of equali
zation this afternoon ' it was unani
mously decided to resist in every way
possible the demand of the state
board of equalization .hat the real es
tate of Maury county be assessed at
ten per cerlt above the assessment
made by the local assessor and ap
proved by the' county board.
It. was further decided" that the
members of the board; the othVr offi
cials mentioned! find suVh citizens as
cared jro reinf'orc'the action of the
1oard would "trppMr in. person before
the state board on" Thursday morning
and insist", upon approval "of the as
sessments made bere bythe'loeal an
thorlties. The, entire conference
agred that it would bo little-less than
an outrage for the state board to ig
nore the action of swprn officials of
unquestioned probity and take the
"imaginary" proof of the Iouthan ex
perts. It was brought out In the discussion
that there were scores and scores of
tracts of land assessed by the Lou
than experts without one word . of
proof to support' the assessment; that
witnesses from Culleoka, from ML
Tleasant, from the second district
and from other places in the county
who had testified before Ixnithan
were utterly ignored and that valua
tions placed on property' that could
not be sustained by the oath of a sin
gle Maury oonntian.
Tax Assessor Webb Williams was
instructed to make up a partial list
of the gortesque assesments made by
the stato 'hoard and show also wBat
this property had sold for recently.
A letter was read from one taxpayer
of the third district stating that hU
lands had been assessed at $150 an
acre while land all aronnd( him of the
same type had sold at, auction' recent-1
ly for ninth leas than that, and he
doubted exceedingly if $150 was not
too much for his land, he did not be
lieve that it was worth that.' Howev
er, he aid he had no protest to inake
against the county board lint, did balk
at the idea of increasing the assess
ment by $13 fin acre.

DEATH'S VICTIM
RESPECtED YOUNG MAN DIES
AFTER LONG ILLNESS AT HIS
, HOME AT CROSS BRIDGES.
(From Monday's Daily Herald.)
Vigorously and specifically denying
every allegation made in the sensa
tional bill recently filed by W. M.
Jaggers, V. A. McCianahan and oth
ers, involving the operation of the
MotildeY Oil Company, the answer of
J. C. Taylor, If. E. herrill "and T. N.
Figuers, Jr., was filed this morning
in the chancery court. ' v
The bill denies any wrong doing on
the part of the defendants and charg
es that the very acts complained of
were participated in and approved
by ' V. A. McCianahan, the president
of thet'ompany, who, it is alleged,,
signed 'the certificates, of stock for
if 15;000 rwhicjhuq, iiov1'-charges! were
Improperly Issued to the defendants,
Sherillind others, It in, alleged that
other acts, particularly the- efforts
made to sell the property of the Moul
der Company in a syndicate with the
property of other oil companies, had
the approval of complainant McCian
ahan. The answer summarizes the bill
into what it terms are really only
Undercharges made against the de
fendants, the .other allegations, It is
stated, being vague, ami uncertain.
As to the charge that $15,000 of the
stock of the Mounted Ooil Company
was fraudulently and Illegally issued
to the defendants, they reply that this
stock was part of the consideration of
transfer of the property of the Hamp
shire Oil Company, that the stock
was issued with the approval of Com
plainant McCianahan and had his sig
nature on the stock. It Is set outj in
detail that the arrangement made- for
the conveytnaco .of property of the
Hampshire Oil Company provided for
the issuance of this stock and that
every proceeding thereunder was in
strict accordance with the laws of
Kentucky,' where ,tfte corpora,tfon was
chartered.........,,
Touching the next charge,, that of
having paid out of the treasurV,of the
company, $7,500 tfbr leases to property
in Knox county, it is denied that there
was. any fraud, on the -contrary it is
stated that all of the ; 'stockholders. J :
were anxious to close the Hfia. that defendants-
Iwere' trying to Jmake with
ed saio of certain acreage to Bodlne
in Kentucky are specifically denied. It
is charged 6n the other hand that
after this sole was made Complainant
McCianahan voted against its ratifi
cation, that tho subsequent action of
Bodine in suing McCianahan for
thousands of dollars damages caused
a panic with McCianahan and his
friends and really caused the filing of
tho sensational bill in this cause. . It
is in effect charged that McCianahan
and his friends, who are associated
with him ae complainants in the bill
are more concerned in their efforts
to save him harmless in Dodine's milt
for damages than they are in the wel
fare of the company. It is denied that
there Is any occasion for receivers
or that the company Is other than a
solvent going concern. The answer
is as voluminous as the bill and is
signed by Hughes, Hatcher &, Hughes
Peebles & Forgey and Lamb & Lamb
as solicitors.
The answer denied that Receivers
Jaggers and Fariss are competent to
run and operate an oil company and
dissolution of the Injunction and dis
charge of the receivers is asked.

I ": i CORPORATION. ? )
(From Wednesday's Daily Herald.)
For the purpose of making room for
the remodeling of their stock rooms
the Maury Motor Corporation is offer
ing some great bargains in automo
bile tires. These are all standard
makes of tires, including the Good
year, Kelly-Springfield, Flsk and
Goodrich Tires,, and on oil of them
a discount of twenty per cent or one
fifth off of the regular price is offer
ed. There has been no reduction an
nounced in tires by the manufactur
ers and so far as knwn, none is con
templated, but this action is taken
by the Maury Motor Corporation sole
ly to reduce stock and make room In
order that the remodeling of their
sales rooms may be facilitated. It
affords an exceptional opportunity to
the owners of motor vehicles to save
a good deal of money on tires, some
thing that; all must have sooner or

Several Maury county( Breeders of
Jerseys attended the "Jimmy Joe
Murray'' sale of fine cattle held in
Marshall county near Lewlsburg yes
terday. The only sales to Maury
countians, so far as could be learned,
were made to Patton Whitaker, who
paid $800 for a bull calf and $.tO0 for
atfine Jersey heifer. He also paid a
fancy price for another heifer, but the
amount was not stated. Joe Dalian
fant, of Culleoka, also purchased a
fancy bull calf.
Some idea as to the success of the
sale can be gathered from the follow
ing figures. In tho sale eighty-five
head were sold, and of this number
twenty-five were bn'u cal.. The en
tire eighty-five brought an average of
$343.80, or a total of nearly $30,000,
which is considered one- of the most
remarqable Jersey sales ever held in
this grand division of the state.
