crushing his skull and cauing death al
most instantly The remains were
brought TO Columbia and carried to the
undertaking establishment of Barr a
Oakes. where they were prepared for
burial. No one else was hurt in the ac-
cident.
Deceasrd d was the son of Mrs. Sam
Taylor Of this place, and was young
man of excellent reputation, being
known and liked by many. His death
is made peculiarly sad by the fact that
he had decided to quit the road to-day,
and this was to have been his last trip.
His sudden and untimely death was a
great shock to his friends, as we'll as to
his mother and relatives, who have the
sympathy of everyone in their bereave-
ment.

COLUMBIA QUADRANGLE.
Valuable Geologic Map Made by
DR.. G. w. Hayes.

Nashville Banner: DR. G. w
Hayes of the Government Geological
Survey, has just completed the geo.
logical mapping of the Columbia
quadrangle. This includes 900
square miles, chiefly in Maury,
Williamson, Hickman and Lewis
counties. The topographic map sur
veyed last fall shows with a high
degree Of accuracy the contours of
the surface, the loo alton of all the
streams, roads and dwelling houses
The contours are fifty feet apart and
show the elevation of all parts of the
land surface.
The geologic work Just completed
consisted of the delineation of the
rock formations within the region
mapped.
Several of these formations are of
great commercial importance on ac-
count of the phosphate which they
contain. The geologic map, when
published, will therefore show ex
actly the areas within which phos-
phate may be expected to occur, and
what is equally important, it will
show the areas ir which the search

map will be published during the

called the Columbia folio. 1t takes

that being the unit of publication.
This topographic and geologic
work is to be continued, the TYPO
eraphers now being at work on the
Nashville quadrangle. This will
corner on the Columbia quadrangle.
This work is of Importance to all
who are undertaking to develop the
mineral resources of the territory
and is of value in almost innumer-
able instances.
The Inauguration Of the topo'
graphic work was due largely to the
exertions of Gov. McMillin, while
the geologic work should be credited
to Congressman Cox, who secured
the insertion of an item in the ap
propriations bill covering the work

Shooters and Card Players.
The officers made it interesting for the
bone-rollers and card players in this
locality Saturday night and Sunday.
Sunday afternoon Sheriff Hight and
Deputy Latta broke into game of
craps near the Cotton Factory and
nabbed nine white men. All of them
submitted their cases in Esquire Guests
court, and paid $3.50 and costs each for
their fun.
The same afternoon Constable Goad
while promenading out south of the
city, came across a crowd of youths
quietly engaged in a Sabbath game be-
Meath the cool shade of the trees in
Browns pasture. The officer took the
names of the participants twelve in
nnmber-and invited them to attend
court Monday. The boys say they
were only having ''social game" and
that there was no money in tho crowd.
1t was proven that they were not
gambling, and the cases against them
were dismissed
Saturday night Deputy Sheriffs Erwin
and Hight and Constable Gene Alex
ander got wind of crap game in pro-
gress at the old kite-shaped track, and
went out and arrested four colored
sports. One of them, Plummer Brown,
had pistol in his pocket. They sub
mitted their cases before Esquire Guest
and were fined S5 and costs, and Brown
was bound over to the Criminal Court
in the pistol case.
