sum Of $500 per day, for each aud
every DAY they are guilty of so offending.
The Senator and Representatives
from this county are fair. honest and
intelligent men, They may or may
not see this bill Just as we do. But
of two propositions we feel certain.
One is, they want TO represent and by
their votes express the wishes OF
their constituents. The other is, and
of that we are equally sure. their
const. tuents-a large majority of them
at least-want them to vote for the
Baxter bill.

The legislature did we'll in rejecting
the State Fair bill. 1t should keep
their good work up by rejecting the
st. Louis Fair bill. That Is one kind
OF advertising that does not pay. And
even If it does, it does not pay all
the people alike; and those who have
something to show, or something tc
sell, should carry their own wares to
the market, and pay for their own
advertising.

TO REDIsTRICT
MAURY COUNTY.

We publish in another &C lumn a
short comm unIcation, signed by some
fifty citizens of this county. endorsing
the Herald's editorial on the above
subject. and requesting our Senator
and Representatives to Introduce at
once and actively support such bill
In addition to the signers OF this
communication, perhaps as many more
have verbally expressed their approval
of some such legislation. And from
these evidences we are inclined to
believe that the law would be generally
approved.
Senator Erwin and Representative
Lipscomb I'VE have not heard any
expression from MIR. Nelson are favor
ably inclined towards the movement,
but they will not take any action
unless they hear from the people.
Their honest purpose being, In all
things, to reflect the wishes of their
constituents Besides, they are very
busy men, and should not be asked to
study out the details of this bill.
We will not repeat. but for the sake
of some who may not have seen it,
will outline the argument heretofore
made for the bill
BY redlstricting the county, and
throwing several districts into one,
thereby increasing the voting popula-
tion of the districts, 1t will throw
Maury county entirely under the oper.
ations Of the Australian ballot system,
or the Dortch law, just as Columbia
and Mt Pleasant now are. That law
does more to stop the buying and selling
Of votes. to prevent corruption In
elections and to diguify the ballot Of
the incorruptible and honest voter,
than any law that has ever heen placed
upon our statute books. And that one
great big consideration it seems to us,
should overcome any minor objecti ons
to the bill
Another advantage would be to
amend and improve the county court.
The Herald has no war to make on the
county court system. 1t has its adj
vantages and good points. 1t is a
body of representative district men,
fresh from and close to the people.
And the closer representative body
is to the people, the better we like 1t.
But the county court of Maury
county has too many members and
because of Its superfuous numbers it
is unwieldy; ana because of that it is
necessarily expensive. 1t costs the
people more than 1t ought to. Take
the very same court, and divide it
INTO three parts, and either OF the
three parts would attend to the busl-
ness OF the court more intelllgently
and more economically than they now
do. And that is ano other big reason
that should overcome very many minor
objections.
For these two paramount reasons tn
Herald will favor the bill If intr o.
duced. And now in the early dis
cusslon of the matter, we wish to make
plea for harmony. Lets not divide
into factions and fly at each other.
Lets discuss the question imperson-
ally, impassionately and without preju-
dice, and try to got together on some
measure that will rebound to the
moral, political and financial interest
of our town, our county and our
people.

TAKE COURAGE.

The Herald comes to the temperance
people of Columbia and Maury county
today with woras of good cheer.
Never since the dawn of this memora-
BILE campaign to drive the curse OF the
open saloon from our beloved city. did
victory seem more certain than now.
The camp fires are burning brightly.
and leaders brave and strong and true
are on the firing line at Nashville.
A bill was introduced in both houses
of the legislature Wednesday ask
ing for absolute prohibition in Co.
lumbia. Whether that bill will pre-
vail or no, we know not; or whether
the dispensary bill will yet be passed
over the Governor veto, we canno
say; but that one or the other will he
passed and become law, we are not
only hopeful, but sanguine of.
Since Friday when the Governor s
veto message was read to the House,
our Senator ana representatives nave
not been idle. They have been listen
ing and ,nquiring, and they know
something of the sentiment of the leg
islature. They find there are some,
and not few, who think the Gov
ernor was right They find there
are others, and perhaps quite as many,
who think the Governor was wrong.
But they find an almost universal SEN
timent, that Columbia is entitled to
local self government, and should be
given relief from the open saloon.
They will make another appeal to
the legislature therefore, on the broad
Ground Of relief from the saloon. They
will say to the Senate and the House,
give to our people, give to Columbia
the right to vote the saloon out OF
bns;ness You have done that for
other towns without their asking, and
we helped you do it; now why NOT
do IT for our town when we are beg
ging for it. And if the legislature de-
clines or prefers not to do that, then
our representatives Will say to them -,
since you would not give us a
chance to abolish the saloon in our
civ. give us the next best thing, the
power to regulate the traffic through
the dispensary system. Or in other
words, pass for Columbia bill siml-
lar 70 the Adams law, which the Gov
enor hae already signed, or else pass
over the Governors veto bill yor
have already approved. Give us relief
from the open, social, allurlng Saloon
give 1t to us your own way-but
give it to us.
And they believe, and others wht
are there believe, that the LEGISLATURE
when confronted with these two petit
tions, one for dispeusary and one fol
the Adams law, and both against thu
saloon, will grant one or the other o
them.
They cannot do otherwise, and bt
temperance men or Democrats.

popular. The people are glad to go where
they can look at goods without buying.

There have been no departments stores
In Germany until late, but there are now
two In Berlin, either Of which would be

are girls, as we'll dressed and as fine

Buying Departments.
I don't know whether our departmen t
stores have the same system of buying
goods which is common. here. ,On the top
floors Of the department stores are SAM
plc rooms with counters and all facilities
for displaying goods. On certain days Of
the week certain Kinds Of goods are
bought, and on these days the men sell
ing such goods appear with their sam
pies. Monday, for instance. may be cor
set day. At, THAT time all the corset sales-
men from Rcrlln and elsewhere come to
the store and fix their samples in the
rooms allotted to them. The buyers OF
the store go over them and order such
as they want Another day may be de-
voted to dresses, coats, etc., and n third
to hardware.
Berlin is one of the chief 1nanufa ctur-
ing cities of Europe, and many kinds Of
goods are made in 1t. 1t is noted for
Its notions, and in this Is fast becoming
equal to Paris. The Berlinese are fond
Of novelties, and Americans should send
their newest things to this market. Al
ready a variety of American goods are
sold in the department stores, such things
as speaking and musical machines. type
writers, Photographic instruments, Ameri-
can furniture and desks having sections
devoted to them.

These people live we'll. They are great

as much roast goose as want, and thir-
ty-seven cents for a beeksteak. Salads
and sweets are proportionately cheap, and

In conversation with some con.
tractors here we learn from them
that 1t Is simply out of the question
to employ men to work here.
Everybody Is busy and rushed with
work. Carpenters, masons, COM
mon laborers, In fact almost any
kind of workman, either skilled
or common, can get work here
now. Ladies' complain of the want
of men to NOW their lawns, shake
carpets. In fact, can't get men to do
anything for them because they are
all busy. The railroad contractors
are needing men. This means
business. When the people of a
