POTATO CROP
BADLY DAMAGED
IN LOWLANDS ROTTED
BY PROTRACTED
RAINS.

Advices coming in form different
sections of the county are to the eff
feet that the Irish potato crop has
suffered considerably from the recent
rains. Several crops in the low
lands have been opened up and a
good quantity of the larger tubers
have rotted and considerable
amount of scab is prevalent in the
lower sections. Growers having
their crops in higher points are not
damaged so much, but still there is
some damage even in these crops.
This is somewhat of handicap to
the dealers and producers as the crop
requires a great amount of handling
to get marketable products. Dealers
are paying s115 to s1.25 and it is
more than likely that the price will
fall to $1.00 per barrel next week.
This crop means much to Maury
county and the loss sustained will be.
heavy.

GAME PLAYED ON
MILITARY ACADEMY

Quite an Interesting game OF ball
was played on Academy Field Friday
afternoon between a local picked team
and a team from Lewisburg. The
final score was 8 to and at the end
of the ninth inning the game had to be
called in order that the Lewisburg
boys could catch their train. Batter
les for Columbia Nichols and How
ard and Mullins and Tomlinson. Lew
isburg: Marshall and Moore.
Nichols for Columbia famed the
first six men who faced him and the
visitors secured only one hit during
the entire game, which was off Null
Inns. In the fifth inning Nichols arm
gave out and Mullins went in. At
this stage of the game the score
stood three to one in favor of Column
bia. A hit off Mullins and several err
rors allowed the visitors TO tie the
score. Marshall was hit often by
the local boys.
The Columbia team went TO Mt.
Pleasant this afternoon, where they
will play the Mt. Pleasant boys, being
the regular annual Fourth of July
celebration in the phosphate city.

Nashville Tennessean.)
Here is what the saloons have cost
Nashville for the past ten years;
The average amount of money spent
for the saloons each year for the past
ten wears amounts to $1,420,000.
This means a total for the ten years
of $14,2OO,OOO.
For this expenditure of $l4,2OO,ooO
Nashville has received $595,0OO.
1t is safe to assume that the brew
cries and wholesale liquor houses re-
ceiyed into their Golfers at least a
third of what was received by the sa-
looms. This means that Nashville
spent each year in the breweries and
Wholesale liquor houses at least $473,-
$685. or in ten years, $4,733,33O.
According to these figures, which
are not exaggerated, the Nashville
liquor bill for the past ten years have
been something like S1S,933,33O.

ARRESTED BY SHERIFF WEBB
Several Witnesses Testify inat

To Willis GuiIt-other Court
News.

Street rumOrs TO the effect that at
least one member of the jury that
tried Henry Willis on a charge OF vile
murder would be indicted by the
Grand Jury for perjury We're confined
this morning when the Grand Jury IN
its final report returned an indictment
against Charely Ferguson, charging

Fergueson "feloniously, wilfully, de-
liberately, absolutely and corrupuy
swore" when questioned by the Clerk
of the Court under oath that he had
not formed or expressed an opinion
&c to the guilt or innocence of the
defendant, Henry Wills.
1t is said that three witnesses tesu-
fed to the Grand Jury that they hearo
Fergueson say before the trial that
Willis was guilty and if he was placed
on the jury, he would vote to hang
him. Other witnesses testified that
thew heard Ferguson state that ne
did not believe or place much talth IN
the brain storm" theory as advanced
in murder cases. Ferguson was one
of tbe four Jurors who voted for the
acouittal of Willis, and the grounds
advanced for this stand were that
Willis was not at himself, or did not
know what he was doing at the time
of the killing, or had brain storm.
Fergueson was arrested at noon TO-
dav by Sheriff Webb, and will doubt
less be able to arrange bond. Inc
bond in case of this character Is
81 600 net 1t is said there may be
other developments in the case.
The Grand Jury returned twenty-slx
indictments in its final report, making
about sixty true bills all told. One
Indictment was returned for embezZle-
ment this morning, one for obstruct-
ing a railroad, one for arson, one for
murder. one for forgery, one for per-
inrv. five for assault with intent to
kill. one for malicious threats, three
for selling liquor, five for gaming, two
for public drunkenness, three for car
rying pistols, and two for profanity.
The jury was discharged.
The two cases against Ben Scrugss,
colored, charging the illegal sale OF
liouor. were continued. The case
against Horace Dobbins, for the IL
legal sale of liquor was continued;
Kid Wonder, charged with assault
with intent to kill, was sentenced to
one year in the penitentiary; Henry
Stanley. charged with assault with In
tent to kill, plead guilty to assault
and battery and was given three

Or. Charles McCutcheon, a wealthy

birds from Europe and turns them

that some of his birds have been seen,
and as far away as 50 miles gold.
tinches are nesting and rearing their
young. The kindly act of Or. Nc.
Cuteheon has been appreciated by
every man, woman and child in the
state, and the state legislature went
so far MS to pass stringent laws pro
tectins the song birds.

Five years ago DR.. McCutcheon
brought so birds of each variety from
Liverpool and established a private
aviary at his home. The first winter
he lost half his flock. but when spring
came he released the remainder, and
soon reports came to him of observa-
tons being made to prove that his i'm.
ported birds were nesting. Every year
since he has imported more birds, and
this spring released 500 birds of seven
varieties.
There is lack of singing birds in
the Puget Sound country" said DIR.
McCutcheon. and the first thing
stranger notices about the wide
stretches of timber land in the west Ia
the absence of singing birds. The
great forests of tall trees are as still
as a church auditorium and not a iay
