CYCLONE IN
WEAKLEY

ORES DEN, Tenn, May 16.-The
Bushart neigh borhood,t three miles south
west of Dresden, was visited by cyclone
Saturday afternoon. Its path was about
three-fourths of mile long and seven
ty-fise yards wide.
The tops we're torn off the corn cribs
of John Bushart and Wylie Jackson.
The house of Bates Ellis was torn
down and the roof blown to pieces. The
people were not at home, and conse-
qusntly no one was hurt but one horse
and several cows and sheep we're killed
and two mules crippled.
A great deal OF valuable timber was
blown down and twisted off near the
ground. Horace BrammItt had a rail
fence about two hundred yards long
completely blown away. In some places
the rails were driven into the ground
several feet and cannot be pulled out by
hand.
The cloud came from the southwest,
and was green in color and funnel
shaped. After it had passed over, many
thousand pieces of green leaves fell in
and around Dresden. In some places
they nearly covered the ground.

SOME WAR
HISTORY,

Editor HeIald:-
In recent issue of the Herald, ap-
peared an article in reference to the
consolidation of the Thirty eighth
Regt. of Tenn. INIT. into the four
complete regiments, with the partial
list of Field Officers composing the
organization. Let me say that Maury
Co. and the 4Sth Regt. was honoIed in
the consolidation ny the assignment of
Will Polk as MAJOR TO one of those
regiments. which on one occasion only
was newly formed, weCt on dress
parade, and never came together again.
as this was only short time before
the final surrender. Will Polk was
SeIgt. Major of the Bird Tenn. till
Sept. 1862, when all INIT. Regis were
organized; he was appointed Adjutant
of the 4Sth Tenn. Regt. and no better
OF more gallant soldier ever entered
the service. 10 LOVE,
Culleoka. lem.

The Herald is an old fashioned Jeffes-
sonlan Democrat. We believe in the
old fashioned Democratic tenet, that
ALL taxation should be limited to the
expenses of government, economically
administered. We do not believe that a
State Far. however advantageous it
might be to the stock industry, is neces-
sary to the economical administration
OF government We do not believe
that a county fair, however pleasant 1t
may be to those DO will attend. how
ever much trade it will draw to the town
or however much inspiration it may give
to the live stock business. is necessary
to "the economical administration of
government. For that reason the Her
aid opposed the Legislature making any
appropriation to State Fair And for
that same reason the Herald will oppose
the County Court making any appropri
alton to the County Fair. All such ap.
preparations are an abuse of the taxing
they make bad and dangerous prece-
dents; they lead inevitably to extrava-
gance, and oftimes to corruption. Taxes,
wrung from the sweat and labor of the
people should not be diverted from the
purpose for which they were raised-she
necessary expenses of an economical gov
ernment. to the fostering care of any
one line of business, or the upbuilding
of any public or private corporation. A
petition is being circulated. asking the
County Court to give one thousand do
lars of the peoples money to the Maury
County Fair. And men who at heart do
not think it fair or just or right and
really do not wish it done, will sign that
petition, rather than say mo-" to the
man who presents it And then the bene-
ticiaries will stick that long list of names
in the faces of the County Court, and
say, "here, the people are asking for
this." And the County Court, unless
some counter effort is made, will yield
gracefully to this demand, just like the
fellow who signed the petition, for the
lack of backbone to say, mo" TIC pre-
vent this raid upon the County Treas
ury. the people should speak out loud
and plain and honestly, and give their
clearly to understand that |
they do not want their money given
away to any private enterprise or TO any
special class; that they are unwilling to
be taxed for ady purpose other than the
actual expenses of government, econom-
ically administered.

BURT GORDON
WAS DROWNED
Boy Was In Swimming, Stran-
gled and Sank.-Body Has
Been Recovered.

The name OF the negro boy who
drowned in Duck river Tuesday after
noon was Burt Gordon, instead
of Burton Bate, as was first re-
ported. He was 17-years- old and lived in
Summertown, from which place he ran
away two weeks ago, coming to Colum-
bia. Since then he has been employed
By Horace Rainey as berry pi ,ker and
was working there at the time of his
death
The boy had finished his dinner and
ad gone for swim with several of his
com panions before the afternoon 8 pick
ing beg an.
Gordon, with the rest of the boys, was
swing ing out over the water on the end
of long rope suspended from an upper
branch Of nearby tree. When as far
out as the rope would carry him, the
swinger released his hold and dropped in
the water below. Gordon made the dive
and 1t seems that he became strangled
at once, as he would come to the sur
face ana Immediately disappear. The
boys with him tried to rescue HIM, but
he sank the last time before they could
reach him.
Esq r. H. Guest who ia also coroner,
arrived Oh the scene, and as 20 one SEEM
ed 20 take any interest in the finding of
the body, he offered reward of $40 for
its recovery. Several searching parties
then went out in small boats and drag
ged the bottom of the river and dived
down several times without success,
until $3.50 O'Clock, when the body was
brought to the surface by Sydney Evans
and Tom Maxwell, colored. and " illiam
Pratt. They used hooks. one of which
caught in the Jaw of the drowned boy.
The corpse was taken to the home Of
the boys uncle, Wick Hanson. who
lives 10 Macedonia.

Nan Patterson, the mistress of
Caesar Young. will resume the stage
as matter of course, and the elite OF
the country will flock to see her. 1t
has about come to pass that Society
requires no higher standard of morals
for its women than it does for its men /;
and that would not be 40 bad If 1t
required anything of its men. 1t was
not always so; and the degeneracy OF
public morals generally is largely due
to the breaking away Of Society from
the old standard. You may laugh at
aristocracy and scotf at exclusive
society as much as you like, bat the
great trouble in this country today is
that Society is not exclusive enough.

The cry has been that bob Taylor

that mo man in the State would dare

1t now behooves the Bob Taylorites

mack has called their hand. Called 1T
good and hard and strong on both
propositions. He is not only willing
to primary. but wants a primary.
He is lot only willing to meet all
corners in joint debate, but will
"gladlv" accommodate them. There
seems nothing left now tor Our Bob's
lion to do. other than to quit his
roaring, or else come out in the open
and fight. We hazard the prediction
that he will choose the wiser part and
stay in the lecture field, where all is
quiet, serene, beautiful and profitable,
rather than to dump his dough for the
privilege of very hot time in tho
political arena. The opposition to
Senator Carmack. who have SO
vociferously shouted that nobody can
beat Bob Taylor before the people, >
have been kind and generous enough
to admit that nobody but Bob Taylor
can beat CaTmack. So If their favorite
does not start, the opposition, bv their
own admission, Will find themselves
chained 20 the pole. 1t is rather early
for predictions but we do not expect

WILL NOT INTERFERE
 IN SANTO DOMINGO
Trouble is Regarded by State Depart ment as Entirely Internal-Ameri-
 can Interests Will Be Protected.

Washington, December 26.-For the present there will be no interference by the United States in the difficulty which has arisen in Santo Domingo. The trouble is regarded by the state department off cials as entirely an internal one. and so long as outside interests are not men aced, this attitude of non-interference will be maintained. If, however, condi tons should change materially. and law less acts should be committed against Americans and American interests. and involving the collection of Dominican cus- toms by this government or other acts of violence occur, which in the opinion of the officials here would make it proper for this government to interfere. this step would be taken. and measures adopted to quell the trouble.
 This decision was reached by the state department officials during the day. and was confirmed at a conference at the White House late this afternoon. in which the President and Secretaries Root, Taft and Bonaparte participated.
 The Cabinet officers remained at the White House until nearly 6 o'clock The gathering, however, was not called spe- officially for the purpose of discussing mat ters developing in Santo Domingo. but to consider several questions which the President was anxious to dispose of pre- liminary to his departure for an outing of several days in Virginia.

The Deeper Meaning

 Is Cosmopolitan.
 People have come from faraway points to shop in Birmingham. and they have bought freely of diamonds, sverware pianos, fine carpets and other articles of elegance and luxury because the best of such goods are to be found here. The merchandise of Birmingham is cosmopol : itan. A gentleman who was in New Or leans last week says that the displays in the show windows of the Crescent City even those on famous Canal street, are not to be compared with the showings made by the merchants of Birmingham.
 Heavy Mail Order Trade.
 In addition to heavy buying by visitors in person. mail orders have poured into
