At meeting of the Executive Com
mittee of the State Anti Saloon League,
held 10 Nashville last Saturday, it was
decided to resist to the utmost all efforts
to repeal the Adams law; to favor giving
Bris tol, jackson, Columbia and other
cities the right to vote on the liquor
ques ton; to urge additional restrictive
legislation in cities where liquor is sold,
ant to ask Tennessee Senators and Rep
resentatives in Congress to vote for the
Hepburn Dolliver Bill which prevents
the shipment of liquor into prohibition
counties. The league also suggests to
its friends over the State that they put
the following questions to all candidates
for the Legislature:

repeal Of the Adams law?
Second-Will you favor its extension
to other places that may want it?
Third-Will you favor other reason

COTTON GIN
Will EE BUILT.
Columbia Cotton Mill Co , Decide 10
Erect Plant.
MUCH COTTON TO BE PLANTED.
Prominent Farmers Agree to Put in
Crops of the Staple this
Year.
MUCH COTTON TO BE PLANTED.

The Columbia Cotton Mill Co., an.
ticipating an increased acreage in cnt-
ton this year, has decided to erect an
up-to-date GIN adjoining or close to the
cotton factory. Work will begin on
the new plant within a few weeks.
Mr.. Meade Frierson, general man.
ager OF the Cotton Mills, has received
assurance from quite number of far
mers that they will put in crops run.
ming all the way from 20 TO 200 acres,
ana the crop promises to be large
enough to Justify the GIN heIng put in
Ten well known planters of the county
have agreed 10 put in q total of COS
actes, as follows:
John Carpenter, 200 acres Wallace
Brown, 90; Jordon Green, 100; W. w.
Stephenson, 20; Pat Devery, 40; Pleas
Wilkes, 80; John Edmonoson. 50;
John Cant, %; Afford Peace. 90; Ned
DAVIS, 81.
This looks like Maury County farm
ers are going to devote more atten-
ton to the cotton crop than they have
for several years. A prominent cotton
man said today that in his opinion
the boil weevii. the deadly bug which
is working suci devastation on I'll Q
crops OF the south and southwest. was
going to maze the farmers of the South
all rich. He thinks the efforts to ex-
the bug will prove futile, and
that the bugs Will keep the production
down to such an extent that IN the
future the supply will never prepond-
crate over the demand, Like in big
crops of certain years in the past. He
thInxa that for .,Iimattc raaaOna
the boil weevil will never come
rs far north "a Tennessee. and that
cotton crops In this state will be free of
any Danger from the bug. If this
should be so. then cotton crop should
be almost as good for profit in the
future as government bonds.

ing Business to it.

A sensational story, which will be q
interest in this city to those who trave
on the l.. & n Railroad frequently, was
published IN the Courier Journal Sun
day. The story was sent out from New
Orleans. and was to the effect that a
prominent railroad scalper, of that city,
Charles T. Kelsko, had sworn IN the
Federal Court there that he had an
agreement with the L. q N Railroad,
whereby it was agreed that in consider
alton of the firms routing and tickeiing
to the best Of their ability all passen-
gers via the Louisville and Nashville, the
road would agree to stamp and validate
without question all return tickets, both
ironclad and otherwise, which the firm
would purchase aud sell via the Louis
vile and Nashville, and il from any
cause these. tickets should be refused
passage on the train and the passenger
forced to pay fare, the amounts thus
paid were to be reimbursedto the firm
upon the annua visit of Kelsko to
Louisville in June.

Kelsko further charged that when the
evidences of said fares collected we're
presented reimbursement were at all
times made to him. He says he was
paid in vouchers drawn by the General
Passenger Department on the Auditing
Department, and that the vouchers
ought not to be in possession of the
road.
He further said it was agreed that
the firm could make any rates it pleased
for two or more persons to any part OF
the country reached by the Louisville
and Nashville and it's connections, a
maximum rate being agreed on, and the
firm to receive in compensation what
ever it obtained above that minimum.
