LARGE SHIPMENT
OF EXPORT ROCK
BLUE GRASS PHOSPHATE CON-
PANY RECEIVES AN ORDER
FOR 5000 TONS.

The Blue Grass Phosphate Company
has received shipping instructions for
six thousand tons of export rock, the
shipment to be completed by Oct. l..
There will be something doing around
that company's numerous sidings In
the next two weeks, as it will require
about ESQ cars to handle this order.
The company has the rock on hand
and in excellent shape, and of as good
a grade as has ever gone out from this
field We are not informed as to the
exact price received, but the shipment
will bring about $4,000 to $4,000 in
to swell the volume of circulating
medium afloat in our town. This
is now working both of its
and drying plants, which
keep good force of hands busy.--Mt.

GRATIFYING ARE
SCHOOL REPORTS
INCREASED ENROLMENT AND
BETTER ATTENDANCE IN.
MAURY COUNTY.
SUPT. GRAHAM MUCH PLEASED
Expects, Best Term in The History of
county's Public SehooIs.-coIum-
bia High School.

Most gratifying are the reports OF
the enrolment and attendance at the
lpublic schools of the county which
have been made to County Superin-
tendent John P. Graham. During the
past week or ten days practically ev-
cry school in the county has been in
full running order and it has been
possible to take a correct inventory
of conditions and the outlook. The
results have been most promising.
From all sections of the county come
reports that the attendance is larger
than ever before.
Superintendent Graham has not as
yet had an opportunity to go over the
reports in detail and make an accurate
comparison, but he is of the opinion
that the attendance at this time, TAX
ing the county as whole, is from ten
to twenty per cent better than it was
at the same period of last year. The
school at Culleoka. always one of the
best in the county, opened with an
enrolment of twenty more than it has
ever had before. The Mcdowell
School in this district has an excep-
tionally large attendance, and reports
from Mt. Pleasant, where a splendid
school building has been recently ac-
quired, are to the effect that this will
be the banner year in the school his
tory of that section.
Similar reports have come from 9TH
er sections, in fact the future for pub
lie education in Maury county seems /
bright with promise and the teachers !,
are more enthusiastic than they have
ever been. Especially is this true of
the schools Of Columbia. The public |
schools here have to very large ex-
tent lacked that pride and school spirit
which is so essential to success, but
there is every indication that the
coming session is to be materially
different in this respect from those
Of the past.
The enrolment at the High school
has surpassed the expectation of the
most sanguine advocates of the school
Ind will doubtless prove bitter dis
to those few citizens {
Who but lately we're doing everything
o discourage the high school branch I

we're eighty-five enrolled ON Monday !

BITTER TONGUE
OF TOM WATSON
WAGS WILDLY WITH WEIRD
WHINES, WHAckING
WILLIAM.

Z QUITMAN, Ca. Sept. 11.-Thomas
e. Watson, Presidential candidate OF
the Populist party. addressed an audi
ence here today which overfiowed the
courthouse and was finally adjourned
to the open air. Mr.. Watson said he
was the only Democratic candidate
in the field if Democracy was to be
judged by the standards laid down by
the founders of the Democratic party.
Bryan Is not a Democrat, he said. His
platform is Hamiltonian rather than
Jeffersonian. Bryan and Watson stood
on the same platform in 1896, he said.
Watson is still there and Bryan is
not. MIR. Bryan has surrendered the
principles OF lifetime in his selfish
ambition to be President He has sac
rificed the South to win the doubt
full states Of the Middle West. Mr..
Bryan's policy of seeking the negro
vote and making secret pledges to get
it threatens the South with a return
of the wild days of reconstruction.
BY advising the negroes to divide
their votes between the two old par
ties and thus increase their political
power, the Bryan managers are sow
ing the political field with dragons
teeth and they will spring up armed
men. Those Bryanite managers are
sacrificing the dearest interests OF
the South to Bryan's personal ambi-
tons"

(Wednegday's Proceedings. }

The second day of the Maury county
fair opened with a large increase in
attendance and interest. The crowd
began to gather early. particularly the
visitors from the country and by ten
O'Clock the grand stand was nearly
full, while the attendance at the spe-
cial attractions ran the total well into
the thousands. Other thousands were
on hand when the time for the races
arrived this afternoon and grand
stand, bleachers and all available
space were filled and the overflow
was bringing good business to the
side shows.
The scene was bright and filed
with interest. The people were en-
thusiastic and nothing but praise was
heard for the show being put up by
the Association. Kennedys Wild
West Show came in for much praise.
The free exhibition put up in the
arena this morning by this aggrega-
ton of cowboys and Indians was well
worth the price of admission. A num-
Der of wild horses were brought in
from the country to see If the COW
boys could ride them. The manner
in which they handled the bucking
horses gave entire satisfaction to the
but was doubtless a source
Of didsgust to the horses. Then there
was race among the COW boys for

PERFECT DELUGE

AGE DONE.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept. IL
With a total rainfall of 1139 inches
in two days, up to the measurement
at o'clock tonight, and with per-
feet deluge Of water falling over the
city tonight, the city is threatened
with food that will exceed the one
of 1908, when the merchants on West
Bay street, the principal thoroughfare,
were drievn from their places of bus
mess.
Tonight the water stands three and
one-half feet deep on West Bay street
and is still rising. Mccoy Creek, a
large stream that empties in the ST.
John River, has overflowed its banks,
and the water in the street and the
entire western section is rapidly ris-
ing.
In Springfield, the select residen-
tial section, the water in many places
is two and half and three feet deep,
being on level with the porches of
many homes in that section.
The street car traffic is tied up, the
tracks being under water, and much
damage has already been done. Mer.
chants in many sections built dams
across their store doors late this af-
