DIR. PETITE suggestion Suuudy
night at the First NJ ethodist Church,
that the friends of temperance IN
Columbia and Maury county should
interest themselves in the bill b. fore
the legislature for the extension OF
the four-mile law to towns OF 600 in
habitants and under, should not be
overlooked, lost sight of or n glect-
ed. His suggestion was that all OF
us should sign petition and write
letters to our Senator and r. 'presen-
tatives, asking not only their votes
for the bill, but their active. earnest
efforts Ia its behalf all along the
line, from start to finish. And that is
what we ought to dc; aud we ought to
do 1t now. Hardly man or woman
In Maury county who does not know
one Of our three representatives.
write to the one you know best. You
have right to address him on this
subject. Not only so, but he will be
glad to hear from you; for true
representative wants to know the
will Of his constituents and do to it
You not only have right to petit
ton your representative TO vote
and work for this bill, but it is your
duty to do so. You are fortunate
indeed, II some one dear to you is not
addicted to strong drink. But even
il so fortunate now, YOU are not safe
so long as the temptation of the open
saloon with its emissaries at work
meets you or yours at every corner.
And last out not least, you are inter-
ested in others as well as your own,
and you should interest yourself and
try to interest your representatives
in their behalf. The liquor dealers
have hired lobbyists who infest the
Capitol continually; but the people
can more than offset their infiu ence,
if they will, by letters from home.
Our representatives will all support
the bill. we belive; but believing is
not knowing. And even If they are
all right, they will want letters from
their constituents to show to weak
kneed brother members who need
coaching. There ought to be petit
ton from every town in Tennessee,
and we make this sug gestioa to the
Anti Saloon League; that they ask
the legislature for day to be heard
by the committees from the two
houses, and on that day have a rep
resentative man or men from each
town to present the petition from
that town and county. It would
impress the legislature as nothing
else can, with the general interest
and concern the people have in this
bill in particular, and in temperance
legislation in general.

WE hope our representatives will

Instead of raising the legal rate of

ing them any, further advantage OF

Now that Congress has decided to
take the canteen away from the SOL
diers, how about taking the saloon
out of the Capitol? What's sauce for

have sober law makers as it is to
have sober soldiers. But we will
never have either until the people
themselves get right and quit voting
for whiskey-heads, rakes and row.

THE HERALD CHANGES HANDS

THE HERALD CHANGES HANDS.
But we hope our friends will not
be alarmed over this announcement,
as the change will be for only one
day, and the paper will go into bet
ter hands for that one issue.
The circumstances are these.
The Kings Daughters of Columbia
have special work they want to do,
and asked the HERALD for some
advice and assistance. They con-
templated reception, to which the
public would be invited and ex-
pected to make free will offering
but the HERALD suggested that
something more novel, and we hoped
more profitable, would be a special
edition of the DAILY HERALD, the
entire proceeds to be devoted to
their one special object in hand
The ladies at their meeting last
week accepted the offer with a
rising vote of thanks, and to-day g
DAILY HERALD will be theirs.
The object in view is to raise what
money they can, to be set aside as a
special fund for the sole and
separate use Of Miss Ollie Afford OF
this city, Those who know the facts
of the case will admit at once that
no more praiseworthy object could
be found.
Though in humble circumstances
all her life, Miss Ollie was always
self sustaining until rheumatism and
the feebleness of old age impaired
her physical powers. Not only did
she support herself, but she gave
from her own scant store, food
clothing, shelter and a mothers care
to several orphan children, taking
them at young and tender years and
raising them to men and women.
Such Christian work as that Ger
tainly deserves recognition from this
Christian community. Let the bread
she cast upon the waters, be returned
to her an hundred fold. Let hel
not feel that she is eating and drink
ing from the hand of charity, but
that as she Ibid it unto the least Of
these" the Kings Daughters are bu
the agents through which a tender
loving, watchful Father is doing
unto her.
This people have never failed OF
refused to respond to any deserving
call, and we feel not the slightes
doubt that they will patronize the
ladies literally to-day.
The Kings Daughters will have
entire control Of the DAILY HERALI
to-day. They are expected t.
write iks aditoria1s and may
change its politics If they choose
They will gather all it's news,
and nothing will go into it'
columns without their knowledg,
and consent. They will solicit thei
own advertisements, and every new
ad they get for this one day, will b,
theirs. The gross not the net pro
ceeds, will be theirs. In short, tn,
HERALD will defray all the expenses
and every dollar or dime received
from new ads for this issue, will b,
clean, clear profit. They will make
their own contracts and collec
their own bills, the HERALD fore
having nothing whatever to do will
1t, further than to hold themselve
willing subjects to their orders.
