SUED FOR LIBEL.
Drs. zimmerman and S. T. Maxwell
Bring Suit For Damages
Against the Southern School of
osteopathy and the Columbia
Herald Co. For Alleged Libel
lous Publication.

Proceedings were instituted in the
Circuit Court recently by w. j. Web
ster, attorney for Drs. w. and Lou
zimmerman and Sol. T Maxwell asking
damages IN the sum of $4,000, for an
alleged libellous publication in the Her
aid.
The declaration in the case has not
been filed yet, and exactly what the
complainants are aggrieved al cannot be
stated until the pleaoings are more
complete; but we learn that the offend
ing article was an advertisement re-
Gently inserted in the Herald by the
Southern School of Osteopathy OF
Franklin, KY, and which, according to
the writ served upon the officers of the
Herald Company, and upon Mrs. Nc
Knight, isis er of DR.. Brown Goodwin
and agent of the said Southern School
of Osteopathy, reflects upon the char
acter and business of the said com
plainants to their damage in the sum Of
ten thousand dollars
The article referred TO was paid ad
vertising reading notice. 1t drew a
very strong and striking distinction be-
tween an old and established school with
strong, cultured, educated faculty
reputation, school buildings and fnan
cial backing, and new school that
might be lacking in these necessary
equipments and qualities.
The article did not call the name o.
any individual or school, except the
name of the old Southern School O
Osteopathy at Franklin, KY, which
it was seeking to advertise.
When the declaration in the case i!
filed, the Herald will report the case
more fully. In the meantime we trus
our friends will not worry for our sake
or lose any sleep over the final result
The Herald will continue in business a
the same old stand, greeting its many
readers every afternoon with all tn,
news of Columbia and Maury county il
its usual full and complete fashion.

\ GOOD WORD FOH Ell
PASO'S PUBLIC SCHOOLS
A Pecos Editor oees in Our School:
a Greater Source of Pride Than Oul
Railroads or Smelters.

From the PecoS News.
few weeks ago when we were at
Ell Paso. we had the pleasure of being
shown through her public schools by
the very efficient and deservedly popu-
lar superintendent, Prof. Putnam. We
had often heard of Ell Paso's schools
as being in the foremost ranks among
hardly prepared for seeing so well
regulated and manned a system as We
found. Ell Paso takes great pride in
her schools. They are her crowninS
glory. The discipline surpasses that
of our military institutions, and the
undeveloped citizen as found in the
child is magnified and his moral train
ing is not neglected. Prof. Putnam is
fortunate in having Prof. Roach, a
scholar and gentleman of unblemish
ed reputation. a man of lofty ideals
and pure life. as principal of the high
school. All the other teachers were
spoken of in the highest praise though
we had not the pleasure of meeting
them all. But their supreme aim is
to make citizens and not hoodlums.
and they recognize the Importance of
keeping before the child's mind the
highest ideals. This same kind of
teaching is begun in the kindergarten
department which is perhaps not
equalled anywhere in the state. This
department is maintained at an annual
expenditure of $4,000. and is free to all.
For lack of room they were compelled
to limit the ages this session. They
have in charge young ladies who have
made it their life study. and who are
adopts in the art of teaching young
children 1t was surprisingly beau
tiful and interesting sight to witness
their daily exercises and methods of
in actual operation.
Ell Paso boasts herself of being u
great railroad center. where smelters
and mining of coal and the precious
metals abound. and we'll she may. They
are all good in their place. but these
things do not develop good citizenship.
All these are not to be compared to
her public schools. If she is to main
tain her onward march to future great
ness with her present rate of progress.
let her guard with sacred care her pub
lie schools.

PRESIDENT KRUGER'S FRIENDS
GREATLY ALARMED ABOUT
HIS HEALTH.

PARIS, Jan. 12.-Private advices re-
ceived here say that a German physi-
clan who recently examined Kruger
pronounced him dangerously ill and
scarcely likely to live more than fort
night.
The president is prostrated by bron-
chitis. and the severe climate has IA
cilitated the progress of the disease.
When Kruger was first attacked by
his present illness his condition was
the cause of no little anxiety. The
unusual severity of the present weathe.'
together with the damp atmosphere
of the Netherlands have aggravated
the aged executives condition until
now his friends are alarmed.
