Abbe Gaffre, a distinguished Ebyp- tologist and writer on ecclesiastical subjects, has discovered in Upper Egypt an ancient parchment which has an important bearing on much dis cussel incident in early French his tory.
 According to Eusedius, bishop of Caearea, who died in 315, Christ sent portrait of himself to Abgar, king of Edessa in Mesopotamia. Abgar learning of the Saviour's miraculous powers, sent him letter begging him | to cure him of the leprosy with which l he was afflicted. He professed faith | in Jesus whom he hailed as the Son of God. Jesus sent a reply by the dis cipline Thaddeus feliciating the king on his ardent faith in one whom he had never seen, and promising the socereign temporal and spiritual hap piness.
 After the CrucifiXion, Thaddeus journeyed to Edessa where he bap- tized the king and presented him with the letter and portrait of Christ, the

HON. ]. A. GREER
FOR SENATOR
ENDORSED BY LARGE MAJORITY
IN CONVENTION OF DEMO-
Gratis OF PERRY COUNTY.

Special to The Herald.
LINDEN, Tenn, July 17.-Hon. j.
A. Greer, of this county, was today
endorsed in mass convention for the
nomination of Senator from this dis
trict by a large majority. There was
a warm fight in the convention be-
tween ]. E. Smith and Mr.. Greer, but
the latter won by the large vote OF
lis to 80. Mr.. Greer is lawyer and
has never before held public office
but he is well equipped and will make
the district a capable representative
in the Senate. 1t is expected that
he will obtain the endorsement OF
Lewis county and will then ask Maury
county's endorsement. In the event
that a district convention is held
Maury county's vote will decide the
nomination, being more than that OF
the other two counties combined.

ONLY DISTILLERY
.INCOUNTY CLOSES
HICKMAN & BROWN SELL PROP
ERTY TO J. A. THOMAS, JR-
WHO DIsMANTLES 1T.

For the first time probibly in the
history OF the county Maury county
is free from the legalized liquor traf-
fc. The only distillery in the county
has been purchased by J. A. Thomas,
Jr., of the Bigbyville section and he
has dismantled it and has the outfit
for sale. The owners of the distillery,
]. C. Hickman and ]. T. Brown, have
retired from the liquor manufacturing
business, leaving the county without
any business of this character. The
saloons were closed over a year ago,
but the manufacture of liquor not be-
ing inhibited by law the distillery, OF
course, could continue business, but
the owners have decided to turn their
attention to other lines.
The property upon which the dis
tillery is located containing about six
ty-fve acres, was purchased by Mr..
Thomas for use for agricultural pur-
poses. The property is located on
the Bigbyyille pike about two miles
South of Columbia and the distillery
has been there for about a dozen
years. Mr.. Thomas is successful
farmer of the Bigbyyille section and a
son of ]. A. Thomas, well known in
the county. This farm has one Of the
finest springs in the county located
on it and in former years was fav-
orite place for picnic parties. 1t is
widely known as Indian Camp Springs.

EFFECT OF PANIC
ON COUNTY INCOME
COUNTY CLERKS COLLECTIONS
FOR PAST MONTH SHOW A DE-
CIDED FALLING OFF.

That the country has not yet re-
covered from the effects of the finan-
cial depression of last fall and winter
Ia made evident by a comparison OF
the revenues collected by the County
Court Clerk for the past month
with the same month of last
year. Several merchants in the
county have gone out of business en-
tirely because of the dull trade while
others have made material reductions
in their stocks which has cut down
the amount of the ad valorem taxes
that they have paid. The revenues
for State, county and school collected
by County Court Clerk Thomas for
the month of June amounted to $510SO
as compared with $950.SS which is
reduction of more than forty per cent.
Hard times have also affected the
matrimonial market to a certain ex-
tent, but in nothing like the degree
that it has the revenues of the clerks
office. There have been few licenses
issued during the present month
either to the whites or colored cou-
piets. SO far twenty-five licenses have
been issued this month sixteen OF
them to negroes and nine of them to
white couples.

lions daily so that the exhibits will
have a decided educational value.
The largest hive manufacturing con-
Germ of the world, located at Medina,
Ohio, has promised complete ex-
hibit which will be in charge of an ex-
pert. Every person interested will
have an opportunity to acquire a
knowledge of the operation of ev-

LIGHTING PLANT
AT THE INSTITUTE
COMPLETE AND WELL EQUIPPED
DYNAMoS ARE INSTALLED AT
THAT INSTITUTION.

Rev. w. b. Capers, principal OF the
Columbia Institute, has just completed
the installation of a complete electric
light plant. The power for running
the dynamo is furnished by means OF
large gasoline engine. The dynamo
has capacity of carrying more than
one hundred lights. The plant was
finished one day this week and when
the power was turned on worked adj
mirably. The building heretofore has
been lighted by the Columbia Water
& Light Co, but owing to the IN
creased patronage OF the school and
the necessity of more lights the ex-
penuse was too great and the princl-
pal thought that It would be a saving
Investment by putting in a plant OF
his own.

WOMEN MAKING
PLANS FOR FAIR
WORK OUTLINED AND PRIZES
AND PREMIUMS OFFERED
ARE APPROVED.

In accordance with the call issued
by Mrs E. H. Hatcher. chairman Of
the lady patronesses OF the fall fair.
number of ladies met Friday
in the Bethel parlors for the purpose
of arranging plans toward making this
department of the fair the best the
county has ever seen. number of
districts were represented and the
meeting was most enthusiastic. The
prize list of the woman's department
in the catalogue was gone carefully
over and the prizes were increased
and new departments added. 1t was
decided also to have contests in sew
ing and needle work each day of the
fair and give prizes in these contests.
Mrs. Hatcher will appoint chairmen
in every neighborhood in the county
to work up interest in the women's
department. II was decided that all
entries must be made on Monday, so
that they might be arranged and in
position the first day of the fair. These
exhibits will remain in position until
noon the last day of the fair.
|. A formal opening of the women's
department was also decided upon,
with the lady patronesses and the
district chairmen acting as a reception
committee. Some special feature for
the opening was discussed at length.
Manager McGaw suggested a Japa-
nese parade and this met with EN-
phatic approval. Under this sugges-
ton the carriages Of the lady pa
tronesses and chairmen and other
public vehicles are to be decorated
in Japanese flowers, fans, parasols,
ETC., and the ladies will be dressed in
Japanese costumes. The parade will
start from town the morning Of the
opening and will go from town to the
grounds, where an address of welcome
will be delivered by some prominent
visitor. There will be three bands in
the parade-Gans band, the military
band and the band of the wild west
show This feature should prove
most attractive and considerable en-
terprise is shown by the suggestion.

BUSY SCENES In
CITY JUDGES COURT
DUSKY HUED DAMSELS ENGAGE
IN FIST FIGHT-NEGROES
CAUGHT GAMING.

The scene at the City Court this
morning was one of activity. Judge
Erwin was kept busy dispensing JUS
tlce to quite number of the colored
brethren.
The first case on the docket was
that of Lizzie Dollar and Mag Brown
for engaging in a fight. Neither OF
the dusky damsels showed any evil
dence of violence, but the Judge
thought they deserved a little fine of
1915 each.
Seven negroes were caught in the
basement of the Bethel ouse Sunday
by Sargeants Lancaster and Stages
and brought before the Judge this
morning. who assessed a fine Of 1915
in each case, with the exception of
one, who was a boy of thirteen years,
and he was let off with the cost in
the case.
Horace Stockard and Tom Hender-
son, both negroes, were arraigned for
engaging in personal difficulty Sun
day. Stockard was fined 1913 and
Henderson $1,000. It seems that Hen
derson was responsible to a certain
extent for the difficulty and the court
made the difference in the fine.
