In Burnet County. Texas, rising
abruptly out Of the level prairie, is a
mountain Of solid granite as smooth
and bald as a head without hair. Il
covers an area Of 70 acres aud
rises two hundred feet above the sur
rounding surface. It contains above
the level Of the base, one hundred
million cubic feet Of granite, available
to the quarryman without a foot OF
dirt or other matter to be stripped off.
The value Of granite at the quarry in
Eastern States is twenty-five cents
per cubic foot The granite in this
mountain, at the nominal value Of one
cent per cubic foot, would be q mill
lion dollars for the amount of stone
above the level of its base. The size
Of the stones which may be here
quarried and moved is limited only by
the capacity Of machinery for moving
them. The granite from this noun
tain is pronounced equal to the cele-
brated Scotch granite and contains
comparatively no iron or other foreign
matter. It is stripped by nature and
lies in regular strata, is very easily
quarried and cut, and assumes a mag
nifcent polish. In color it varies
from the red or rose colored stone, OF
which the state capital is constructed,
to a light gray, with various interme-
diate shades. Granite has been taken
from this mountain for the capitol
building and dam at Austin, the ietty
works at Galveston harbor and mouth
of Brazos river, and the government
building at Kansas City, without hav-
ing any perceptible effect upon its APP
pearance, At distance it looks as if
it had never been touched. Scientific

DEMOCRATS MUST BE CALLED.

To Stand for Right, for Reform, and for
the People.
EDITOR HERALD.-It may not be
much of surprise but it certainly
will be pleasure to the good people
of Columbia, our county town, to
know that the people in the country
communities looked on their strug-
gle for reform in their municipal
government with sincere sympathy
and rejoiced at their success. 1t is
certainly gratifying to see such men
as you now have in control Of your
city affairs, come out, making per-
sonal sacrifices thereby, and make a
fight for reform and for good gov
eminent.
This spirit of reform has spread
to the country and one frequently
hears the expression that we must
have good men fer all 0ur offices,
and men who have been lifelong
Democrats openly make the asser-
ton that they can no longer con-
scientiOusly support man simply
because he has been nominated by
the Democratic party, unless his
moral character and business judy
ment will bear close inspection.
The writer of this firmly believes
that the Democratic party is party
of purity in elections and of good,
economical government and that,
in Tennessee and Maury County
especially, it is composed of the
very best and most substantial peo-
pie. Hence, to any one who will
consider the matter carefully, it
must be clearly manifested that it
will be easier to obtain any desired
reform within the Democratic party
than in any other way, and if the
best people will only wake them
selves up, come out to the conven-
tions and primaries Of their party
and do their duty as citizens and as
Democrats, they can certainly con-
troll its actions in platform and in
candidates.
That man who is too good to take
part in til management of his party
and his government, is too good to
become valuable citizen of any
government and fails to exercise a
privilege that the citizens of less
fortunate countries than our own
earnestly long and strive for.
In view of the anticipated call fol
our legislative convention or pri-
maries, it is well for all taxpayers OF
Maury County to begin to realize
the Importance to themselves and to
the whole county, of sending the
proper men to the state legislature

JosIAH's name is mud. And it
came about in this manner. Mr.. j.
NJ. Manson, who had been selected
by the silver men to make the fight
for Congress in the Memphis dis
trict, was not making as vigorous
campaign as was desired, because
his health would not permit; and
with rare discrimination Mr.. Man
son saw that this was not just what
had been expected of him, and it put
him to thinking, and when he was
through thinking he indicted note
to one Mr.. E. w. Carmack, our Car
mack, telling him that he, Manson,
was going to withdraw, and that he,
Carmack, had the ability, the popu-
larity, the health, strength and vigor
to curry your Uncle Josiah, and
that he must wade in and do so.
Carmack, who had been resting for
couple of months or more, felt
ready for the fray, so in he bounced.
And that's how it happened that
Josiah's name is changed to Mud,
and the chair in Congress that
knows him now Will know him no
more, when the fourth of next March
has come. If Carmack should need
more votes than he can command III
the 10th, he may draw on this dis
tribt, carte blanche.

IT Is passing strange that the peo-
pie of this county, moral, christian,
intelligent people, have so little pa
triotism, so little county pride, so
little foresight, that they will leave
their elections and their offices in
the hands of men who neither prac-
tice morality themselves or profess
to represent that element at all. If
the truly representative people of
this county want to be truly repre-
sented in the next legislature; if they
want railroad commission; if they
want the scope of the four-mile law
enlarged, rather than abridged; if
they don't want to help Nashville
pay for its centennial show, then it
is time they were bringing out their
ticket. After the election if these
things go contrary to their wishes
the voters of Maury County will
have themselves to blame, for it is
their fault, if through thier neglect
of duty, the wrong men are sent.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1896-07-17

such as the restriction by the State
of the powers of the railroads and
other corporations; which seeming
ly have the welfare of the people SO
little at heart; the iniquitious fee
system which is such a temptation
to our office holders and such a
drain upon our county and state
revenues; etc. etc.
In view Of these things then and
of the Importance to the Democratic
party of winning the November
election and of bringing out it's full
vote for the State and National
ticket this fall, it certainly behooves
the party to put forward its best
men for the Legislature; not only
good clever fellows, but men of pure
character, of moral force and sound
business judgement; not only men
who can not be bought, but men
who can not be influenced by the
paid lobbyists which the rich cor
porations send to our Legislative
halls, influenced without being
aware of it perhaps, to vote against
the interest of the people, who pay
the taxes and support the govern
ment.
There are such men in every COM
munity in Maury County, and al
though they may not be willing to
leave their farms and their business
to enter into scramble for an office
that is so little remunerative as that
of the Legislature, yet if the best
people of the Democratic party will
60 to them and pull them out and
absolutely refuse to take NO for an
answer, there can certainly be found
men of the right stripe, who are
patriotic enough and who love the
Democratic party well enough, to
make personal sacrifices and tc
come out and make the fight fol
right, for reform and for the people,
The writer of this has heard
many of the best citizens of this
community, heartily endorse the
many timely editorials In the HER
AID upon this subject, and the edi
tor can feel assured that such gooC
work and work evidently so much
needed will not go unappreciated
and will not fail to bring good re
