Matter Now Goes to Board of. Mayor
(and Aldermen for Firfal Ratifica
tion Before Work on Andrews An
nex Is Begun.
It required just an hour and forty:
five muiutes this morning for the city
board of education to dispose of tech
nicalities before deciding to recony
mend to the board of mayor and al
dermen that the bond given by Wall
h Jeter for the construction of the
Andrews building be ratified, and that
the contractors be allowed to begin
vork upon to new building.
The meeting was called a? the in
stance of the building and' supply com
mittee of which C. D. Adkisson is
chairman. ,
Present at the ..meeting, were City At
torney Hugh Lee Webster and" Mayor
ff, 0. Cherry. Mr. Adkisson reported
the action of his committee, but when
It was called to Mr. Adkisson's atten
tion by Attorney Webster that in ac
cepting the bond as solvent that all
members of the building and supply
committee laid themselves personally
liable for the bond. Mr. Adkisson de
clined to be made liable for any de
lect in tho bond, or insolvency, and a
somewhat heated- discussion which
consumed much time ensued; and v.as
participated in by most. of the mem
bers of the board, a cross fire of qi es
tions taking place between Alton ey
Webster and Judge ' W. C. Salmon,
chairman of the board. . - -
Only by questioning members of the
board individually as to their stuid
upon the question was the chairman
Me to proceed with the maer. It
appeared that there was little do.;bt
8 to the solvency of the bond offered
by the contractors,- but tho question
arose from the form its ratification
took. Mr. Adkisson declared that he
believed the city of Columbia should
be responsible for . the execution of
the cunt t act, rather than the individu
al inenibora of the building and supply
commit tee of tho board of educatiop.
Some numbers of the board suggest

Bitter Fight U Made Upon Ford's Pro
posal to Government by Big Power
and Steel Trusts of the Nation.
(Copyrighted by United Press.)
WASHINGTON, Oct.' 13 "If the
fc'pvernment will only let' me have
Muscle Shoals I'll teach it something
about solving the unemployment prob
lems," Henry Ford, automobile manu
facturer and owner of, the Dettroit,
Toledo and Ironton railroad, said in
an exclusive interview here prior to
his departure for the West Virginia
coal fields Wednesday night.
For tho past several weeks there
have been no . new developments in
the Muscle Shoals. It is known that
powerful interests are working night
and day'to prevent the government's
acceptance of Mr.' Ford's bid. Espec
ially active in this campaign against
Ford are the big powder and steel
manufacturers, who fear their own
business may be hurt ."by the devel
opment of Muscle Shoals property by
the Detroit manufacturer.

mm FARHER
PREDICTS A BETTER PRICE NEXT
SPRING" FOR FAT BEEF
CATTLE.
"Fanners will in my judgment, hiis3
a good opportunity ,to make some
money, or at least get a better price
for their corn ancl roughage than they
could realize if it were sold directly,
if, they de not take advantage of the
opportunity to borrow money to buy
small- feeder cattle," said a well known
farmer who has had much experience
in recent years with the markets and
articularly with cattle. "I do not see
a chance to lose at the prices which
feeders are being sold today. It will
not cost much to carry the cattle and
they are" sure to sell better next
spring or I do not know anything
about tho market."
Two Roads Being Constructed In That
Section Largely Through Efforts of
Public Spirited Citizens Will Mean
Much to Them.

The shock caused by Knox's death
came with even greater force because
'he had just returned this week from

friends and colleag.es in the- sena
that he felt much rested and that h
vacation had done him great good.
- One of tho finest examples of co
operation in road building that the
county has ever known is furnished in
tjfi course pursued by the people of
the fourth district. Road Superin
tendent Wilkes said this morning that
while he had received flue co-operation
from many sections of tho coun
ty,, nowhere had the spirit been quite
so fine or so much given, for the road
building as had been the case in the
fourth district.
. As a result of tho generous contri-
i
butions of tho people of that section
the road from the covered bridge
across Duck river to Leftwich bridge
will be practically re-constructed.' Tho
citizens of this five or six njile stretch
have hauled and donated absolutely,
free of charge more than 1,000 loads of
gravel', declared Mr. Wilkes this morn
ing. They have not only hauled the
gravel buV the owners of the gravel
bars have given every bit of it to the
county. . ,: - .
Thej-e are today no less than twen-.
ty-flve teams, cm the road hauling
gravel, and the only expense to the
lounty is the pay of the hands on the
bar who are loading the wagons. . On
tomorrow the eitizens of that section
are going toserve a big dinner to all
the worltors and they have invited
Mr. Wilkes to'be present and partake.
The leading spirits. in this great enter
prise that will give Leftwich bridge
and al that section of the county a
;icw highway to Columbia have been
Mick Liggett, .Will Blalock, the Gor
don brothers and several others equal
ly as active and zealous. Th late
Wallace Sowell before his death did
much to arouse the spirit that lii J
neighbors hafre shown in their gener
osity. Likewise the people of the fourth
district on the new road that is being
constructed north from Bryants Sta
tion toward Leftwich have shown the
came spirit of -generosity., Through
a rough country they have practically
constructed a fine road with but little
aipenso to Maury county. This road
by. the same spirit will be completed
to Leftwich. Among the leaders in
this enterprlfo have beon Andrew .!,
Hardlsori, member of the county bo:nl
cf education; Road Commissioner Joe
Check and Walter. Hardison. They
have given hundreds of loads of grav
ol and done an immense amount of
work. When this road is finished to
Leftwich it will save the people of
that entire river section two fine out
lets. They can come either direct to
Columbia or tlijf can reach the rail
road at Uryants, a distance of about
five miles or can come that way over
the Lewisburg pike to town.

Thai Maury county will be largely
represented both in ex-aervice men
ynd also in those wlm did not serve

ANOTHER HERALD BOY ,
' -.CLIMB LADDER FAME
MISSES THE HERALD
MORE THAN KER MEAL
Mrs. F. O. Daniel, of Culeloka, was
here today. Mrs. Daniel said that she
could miss a meal with better grace
than to Ao without the dally visits 'of
Tho Herald.
J. Frovino Greenlaw, former car
rier and vaiued employe, of Tho' Her
ald, has gone up another notch. He
has been made assistant casifier of
the Columbia Bank &Trut Company,
an institution for which he has labor
ed faithfully ,for sovoral years. From
the time, as a little shaver, many,
many years ago, Provine Greenlaw
commenced, to carry The Herald, he
has been known for his fidelity to
duty and 1iis energy. His promotion
will be most gratifying to tho, pa
trons of the bank.
Carl A. Boss has been elected pay
ing teller of the institution. He has
performed tlm duties of the place with
such satisaction to the officials and
patrons cf the bank that he has re
ceived formal election to the office.
Mr. Ross was formally with the
Hampshire bank and is one of the
most popular bankers in the county.
In addition to his duties as a bank
er he is prominent in the church be
ing treasurer of the First Methodist
church. ,
Although Mrs. Joe W. Fleming, vol
untary observer at Ashwood, reported
a. temperature of thirty degrees this
,nrt)rning or two degrees below freez
ing, there doers not seem to have
been the damage done that is ordina
rily the case where there is freezing
temperature. Several from the co.m
try reported that' there ad been very
little damage. On "tho other, hanj
the Irish potato crop was badly nip
ped and while riot'ako,:ether killed its
growth will pro'pably bo stunted and
it w JM- rn'it -ftWKis tlu-yleld -that"woul(i
Have been the case had tho warm
weather continued.
A lulling frost at this time of the
year is in advance of the average date,
irdinariiy it te the latter part of the
month before the 'first killing frost f
iho year. Two years ago tho first kill
.ii.,; frost did not-co.'ne until up in No
krnbor, but four years ago the first
ititling. frost .was on October 8.
It is expected that' the freeze last
"ight did soaio damage to corn, espec
ially that very late. It also nipped
tho sorghum, but the weather wan so
dry that nothing like the harm was
done that would have resulted-if
there had been any rain.
Tho weather forecast for today and
tonight is rising temperature, so- that
whatever escaped the cold of last
night will be certain, to have a respite
of several days before there is anoth
er "killing frost." The mercury fe'l
rapidly last night. Itdropned twenty
degrees -according to Mrs. Fleming's
ibservat'ons, between six o'clock last
night and early this morning when
the low mark was registered.

yielding to tho insistent demanda
of the business interests of the city,
Mayor W. O. Cherry this morning an
omnjod that night, police headquar
ters would be removed, from the city
hall to the sheriff's office at the court
house, which will? it is believed, af
ford a greater "measure of protection
to the banks and business houses of
the city.
f'oth telephones will be installed in
The Sheriff's office at once and as
soon as numbers are given this will
be made public so the public may have
no trouble in locating officers when
they are needed.
All Residences and Business Houses
Not So-Equipped Will Be Listed by
the Carriers of the Columbia Office.
Reasons for Request.
As a part of his nationwide cam
paign for a more efficient mail ser
vice Postmaster General Will H.
Hays asks that ail buildings to which
mall is delivered shall be numbered.
Not only should they be numbered
but they should be properly equipped
with a mail receptacle. No particular
style or type of mail recptacle is re
quired by the department. It may
consist of either a slot in tho door or
. .. . .... .. '.3
i conveniently located Pox ,"CJ,,Wpr.
iuitablo material. -?.
On October 19, next Wednesda
postmaster at "Columbia will "require
ill carriers to report the address of
every dwelling and place of . business
on the route to which mail is deliver
ed that is not numbered and equipped
with a mail receptacle. Therefore if
lie patrons of the Columbia office
to whom mail is delivered want to
keop off this report they should with
out any further delay provide the num
bers for their house, and the recep
tacle or slot for the mail.
Tho reasons" for requiring the num
bers on the house and the recentacle3
4re thus set forth by the postofflce
department:
promptly locate buildings to which
mail is addressed and to avoid errors
and delays In delivery.
Mail recptacles Insure prompt and
safe delivery of mail in the absence
of occupants. They avoid delay of
nail through the return to the office
lecause of the absence of occupants
:r deay in answering the ring of the
isrrier. They also obviate the neces
sity of the housekeeper responding
to tho ring at an inconvenient time.
They generally expedite and make
more efficient the service.
The hope is expressed that every
house in the city will be equipped as
directed by next Wednesday so that
no delinquents will have to be report
ed by carriers when they make their
rounds.
