VIOLATING CATTLE
QUARANTINE LAW
JOHN w. MAYFlELD AND T. NJ.
FLANNAGlN, ARRAIoNED ON
THAT CHARGE.

John W. Mayfield and T. N. Flan-
nagin, prominent citizens and stock
men Of Lewis county, were arraigned
before Esq. Guest Tuesday on charges
OF violating the cattle quarantine
laws. The arrests were made on or
ders from the Maury County Board of
Health.
II was shown at the arraignment
that the men had simply transferred
some cattle from their lands in Lewis
to their lands in Maury and the trans
fer was made with no idea of selling
the cattle or violating the quarantine
laws, but simply to place the cattle
on better pastures. With these facts
before the magistrate and at the sug-
gestion Of Judge Gordon the men were
released on payment of the small
costs that had accrued.

HUGHES THE MAN,
SAYS ROOSEVELT
GOVERNOR MUST BE NAMED FOR
. 4 ANOTHER TERM DECLARES
IL THE PRESIDENT.
ALL PROTESTS ARE UNAVAILING
Will Not Dictate to Party, But it is
Necessary to Name Execu-
tive Again.

OYSTER BAY, n. Y, Sept. Sag
amore Hill today. was the scene of
another political conference, the sub
ject of which was the Gubernatorial
nomination of the Republican party
in New York State, and President
Roosevelt again made known, in
words that could not be mistaken, his
attitude on the denomination of
Charles E. Hughes for Governor. The
President said that it was absolutely
necessary that the Republican party
should renominate Gov. Hughes, but
at the same time said he had no in
tention of attempting to dictate what
action the convention shall take in
the matter.
1t was to William L. Ward, of West
chester County. Republican National
Committeeman of New York, and to
others interested in the matter that
he told this, and he authorized one
of his hearers to make known his
words to the newspaper representa-
tives here Mr.. Ward is known to be
be one of the hardest workers against
the denomination of Gov Hughes, and
it is believed that he came here today
for the purpose of influencing the
President in behalf of the anti-Hughes
cause. The National Committees
mission evidently was decided unsuc-
cessful for when the Presidents 9TH
er visitors returned to the railway sta
ton late in the afternoon they re-
ferred all interviewers to Silas Nc
Bee, editor of the Churchman, who
they said had been authorized to
speak for the President. To his ques-
TONERS Mr.. McBee said:
Il heard the President say to GER
tain Republican leaders who were
present at the conference at Saga
more Hill today: have no inten-
tion of trying to dictate the action of
the Republican Convention. l am a i
citizen of the State of New York, and
am therefore entitled to express my I
judgment on such an issue as the nom
ination for Governor. My Judgment |
is that it is absolutely necessary to
renominate Mr. Hughes"

THREE THOUSAND
DOLLARS AN ACRE
THAT'S THE RATE AT WHICH
SQUIRE FARiSS is BEING PAID
FOR GENSING.

Another of the resources of Column
bia and Maury county and an indica-
ton of the possibility of the industry
came to light Wednesday when Squire
H. F. Fariss received exchange from
New York for 1923 for some gensing
he had raised in his garden on South
Main street. Belk, Butler & Co. of
New York, were the purchasers and
the price paidfor this peculiar looking
product was $6.10 pound.
Mr., Fariss has been raising gensing
in his garden for the past several
years. He has a space about eighty
feet square devoted to the culture and
it is safe to say the net returns per
acre are larger than from any other

sale of the dry root, the returns in
one year being about $1,000.
