them to realize that the best interest OF

Some Facts to Consider.
LET as consider the following facts:--
Maury county is one of the largest and
one Of the weaithiest counties in Ten
nessee; and 10 the fertility and beauty
of her county, she is unsurpassed, III
many respects, by any county on the
continent. She is glorious in her soil,
her climate, her area, her traditions and
her history, and in these, her people
have exulted with patriotic pride for
nearly century. Columbia Is the geo.
graphical center of the county; and is
now, and has always been. and for the
future will continue to be, the center of
the county's population and commerce.
Columbia is the railroad center of the
county and is the center Of all her great,
public highways.
LET us suppose that the county site
was removed to Mt Pleasant; what
must be the inevitable results? Mt. Pleas
ant is about twenty four miles from
Spring Hill and from the entire northern
end Of the county. OF course, the PEG
pie in that fine section Of country would
not toisrate such condition as would
remove them twenty four miles from
their county cite, when they could be
detached from Maury County. and be.
attached to Williamson, and thereby be
distant only some fourteen or fifteen
miles from Franklin, with fine roads
leading into that city. 1t would be a
question of only few years until that
entire section Of Maury County would
be detached and be annexed to and. be-

IT, increase the rate OF taxation, for the
reason that our county court will real
ize that the county must practice econo-

expenditure. Therefore. tens of thou
sands OF dollars that have heretofore
been frittered away will be applied to-
wards the payment OF the Court House
debt, and this without increasing our
taxes am informed that something
like ninety thousand dollars have been
expended within the last ten years in
building bridges in the county: this ex
pense will not have to be repeated. In
deed. there have been tens OF thousands
Of dollars expended annually that will be
eliminated by the incoming County
Court in the future, In order to meet
the appropriation for building the Court
House.
III maze the foregoing suggestions be-

and civic pride Of this great and glorious
county will never consent, for the sake
Of saving an appropriation OF one hun

County and her people shall suffer the

us II the Court House were removed;
calamity that no cne can contemplate
without shudder. but which would be

ITO The People OF Maury County,
"In view OF the widespread agitation
OF the question OF removing the capitai Of
Maury County from Columbia 10 Mt.
Pleasant, | feel constrained to express
my views upon the subject. l can but
admire the pluck and zeal Of the good
people OF Mt. Pleasant, who are willing
to put up the sum Of one hundred thou
sand dollars for the purpose OF building
a Court House in their city, and thus
adding to the value OF their
local properties. There are few better
people, II any, thar the good people Of
Mt. Pleasant, and they deserve a full
measure Of credit for their zeal and eu-
terprise in building up their prosperous
little city. However, upon full and pa

ION the other hand, what benefits
would she derive from being rendered

ant say that they will build a Court
House costing one hundred thousand
dollars and donate it to the county, thus
offering to induce, if not to purchase
two thirds of the qualified voters of this
great county to bring ruin upon it. No

THE PARTY SHOULD GO FOR

While in Nashville Monday, Mr..
Bryan, la a interview with q reporter
for the Nashville American, said: ''If

I lican party out of power it will pitch
its campaign upon a high plane and
convince the public that it is 10 earnest
in its effort to conduct the Government
according to the doctrine of equal rights

The reformation OF the Kansas City
platform is the fret step toward this
end, for it will be an announcement that
the party is not going back to the posi-
ton that it occupied under Cleyeland's
last administration. but is going forward
TO meet the present issues in the same
spirit that it did IN 1896 and 1900. Not
only is such a course the right one but
it il the easiest one. An attempt to
surrender any OF the issues Of the last
campaign would he followed by a pro-

written that would salty those who

or by implication indorse the Republi-
