Long Threatening Comes at Last!

We'll, these words tell us too often of something we would rather not see or hear. And again they often make us feel happy. For instance one gang of politicians threatened to compel the taxpayers to present them selves with S1,O00,0o0.O0 "Clnder Park and for their great I am work the voters busted them from their jobs and now the other gang of politicians have decided on the same old thing but election day is coming ana ol course skiddoo, skiddee for them also. The above threats is what taxpayers do not like to hear. But we threaten cd to give someone bargain last week providing the article arrived ill time, but it didn't, now our threat holds good when it does arrive and this is the kind of a threat that make YOU feel good because who ever gets its gets a bargain, of course we won't tell what it is until it arrives. But we always have bargains on hand. Those clothes dryers with pound or our Baking Powder are worth alone more than you pay for both at

THE CENTEN-
NAL FAIR
MEETING THIS YEAR WILL cELE-
BRATE coUNTHs toooTH
BIRTHDAY AND WE'LL
HAVE A HOME
COMING.
BIGGEST. Best And Most Widely Adver
tised Fair In The county's
History

At a meeting of the directors of the
Maury County Fair Association held
Friday. the matter of the fall fair was
discussed and all present were most
enthusiastic, and expressed a deter
mination to make the fair this year
the largest in every department since
the organization of the. association.
The county Of Maury was organized
In 1907 and the town of Columbia
about the same time, so 1t was decided
to make the fair this year Centen-
NAL Fair and have special civic exer-
cises in celebration of the county's
1OOdth birthday. Along the same line
II was decided to have a Home-Com-
ing of all Maury copr tians at the time
of the fair. which will be some time
during September. and invite all Maury
countians, who have moved to other
states and counties, to return and help
us celebrate. The Association will
doubtless ask for longer meeting
than five days and will offer more and
larger stakes and purses for racing,
more money in the show rings, in the
horse show, in the floral hall and in
fact. will make the fair larger IN
very respect than ever.
Committees to arrange for and
work for the special features will be
appointed within the next week or two
and work will be pushed from now till
the gates open.

of commander and soldier alike for
their scourge, their daring, and their
loyalty to the cause they believed TO
be right. Now and then he heard
some old soldier say, or heard OF
some old soldiers saying, that they
had made mistake. Such man
ought not TO live It was terrible to
kin even for the right; how awful for
a man to feel that he had done wrong
in taking the blood cI his fellow man.
Lee never thought SO; he wrote in
later years: Il did as my duty demand
ed: and ii | had It all to do over
again. | would do precisely as | did
before"
DR.. Caves perroration was beautiful
His tribute was worthy the subject
than which among all the men OF
modern times there is not finer type.
His picture was not glazing, but pleas
ing; not overweight, but strong
drawn out; it was word picture that
will live in the hearts of his hearers
long years after they can recall any
of the words spoken. 1t was an Inn
preston that will. sink deep and deep
er into the minds and hearts, until
it becomes a part of the faith OF the
lives of some of those who took that
impression perhaps for the first time
in life. 1t was a bit Of history, I'M
prejudiced and without malice, which
it were we'll for this younger genera
ton to hear, and which Is profitable
to us all.
We regret that the speaking was
at an hour which makes 1t impossible
for the Herald to give a more salts
factory resume of this splendid oc'
casion, and most of all this splendid
address.
Following the address Mr.. J. M
fowler sang Face to Face and Dr.

honor on Messrs. Alta J. Lee, ]. W.

son and w. A. voss. The exercises

STATEMENT FROM
Mr.. fowler
POLICE WILL BE HELD ACCOUNT
ABLE FOR STRICT ENFORCE
MENT OF THE LAW.

The editorial in Thursdays Herald
relative to law enforcement has oeen
the cause Of general favorable COM
ment and a number of prominent citL
zens of Columbia stopped by the Her
aid Office Friday to express their APP
proval.
Speaking of the matter to Herald
man Friday, Police Commission
err fowler stated that he wished 70
place himself right before the puDiS
in the matter. He SAID he had been
chairman of the Police Committee on
" about three weeks, having been APP
pointed at the last meeting nignf IN
December. That he was friend OK
City Marshal Morgan and felt that ne
had been largely instrumental IN Mr.
Morgan's election to the office. Never
the-less, on assuming charge, he CAL
ed Mr.. Morgan's attention to the new
, book of rules governing the police de-
nartment and told him he would hold
him strictly accountable for the en-
forcement of the law and for the cons
troll of the department. That II ne
failed In his duty, friendship would
not protect him. That be had issued
explicit instructions in regard to the
women of East End and he thought
City Marshal Morgan had followed the
! instructions as closely as was IN his
power. That under the Boards con-
struction of the law, there is nothing
to restrain men from going to that lo-
cation between the hours Of p. m.
and a. M, and that arrests had been
made of men going there before or al
ter these hours of which the public has
no knowledge. That he had INSTRUCT
ed the CITY Marshal to allow NO new
women to come to Columbia. and any
woman leaving the town is not ale
lowed to return, and in addition any
woman engaging in any disturbance
Is banished from the town. Under
this last provision, he said, one woman
had been sent away within the last few
weeks. Referring to the affair over
there Wednesday night, he sale ho
sought the City Marshal and the two
made an immediate investigation. That
the night men, they found had made
no report of the matter, and the City
Marshal had, till then, heard nothing
of It, That they did not wait for the
night men to report, but issued war
rants and cited three of the men to
appear for trial. That he had
since issued orders that any
night officer, failing to file report
of any infringement of the law before
going off duty, either wilfnlly. negli-
gently or forgetfully. would be sus-
pened and fined.
Mr. fowler said further that any
complaint OF neglect of duty on the
part of the police, reported to him or
which came to his ears, would be inn
mediately investigated and the guilty
officer would have TO suffer the PEN
atty.
Referring to the payment OF the sa-
loon license, Mr. fowler said that ev-
cry saloon keeper In town had paid the
necessary $3.50 for this quar-
ter. two ~ them paying url-
der protest and that one saloon man.
who had quit business. had not only
been required to pay HIS back license.
but had to pay fine in addition.

BANKING BILL.
Another Will Be introduced by Mr..
SenteP.

Senter.
Mr.. Senter will Introduce another
banking bill in the Senate within a
few days. The measure that he pro-
poses does not conflict with the bill
that has already been introduced by
Senator Johnson, but is rather an ex-
tension of this bill my BILL" said
Mr.. Senter, provides for three Bank
Examiners instead of one, as Is pro
posed by the bill of Senator Johnson.
Each of these Examiners will have
charge OF one of II e grand divisions
/ of the State All three will be ap-
pointed by the Sta 3, but their sal
aries will be betrayed by the banks.
This will avoid the Objectionable fea-
ture of adding to the expenses OF the
State. In order to assist these exam
iners in finding out the exact condition
of the bank, propose to require the
regular Finance Committee of each
bank to make a statement under oath
four times year N regard to the
suficiency of the securities that the
bank holds. / regard this provision
as a very important feature, for the
Bank Examiner Is wholly unprepared
to determine the condition of the bank
unless he knows the value of the
securities that the bank holds for its
all right but still the bank may be
all right. but still the bnak may be
in a critical condition on account Of
its securities being worthless paper
The suficiency of the securities car
NOT be determined by the Examiner
himself, however expert an accountant
he may be. For with three Bank Ell
aminers, there will be about 200 banks
auiece. a number which is sufficiently
large to limit the time Of the Exam
iner's visit to each one to period en-
tireIy too short to AFFORD him time to
investigate with any certainty the
worth OF the securities. But this
knowledge Is within the possession Of
the Finance Committee Of each insti
tuition and can be obtained by the
method propose.
Another provision In my bill makes
the depositors preferred creditors. OF
course, those who have time deposits
on which interest IL paid are excluded
from the preferred creditors. The ad
vantages OF this provision are appar
ent without CONNER, and are Of such
great Importance as to give my bill
strong recommendation"
