TAKES PLEDGE
To RETAIN OFFICE
COUNTY COURT WON'T ELECT
THOSE WHO TAKE TO THE
FLOWING BOWL.
UNLESS THEY AGREE TO QUIT
w. p. Wood Promises To Be Good
And is Reelected County Sur
veyor by County Court.

Candidates for office before the
County Court of Maury county who
are addicted to the flowing bowl, must
take the Woman's Christian Temper
ance pledge before they can secure
the votes necessary to win. This
record was made Monday in the
election of a County Surveyor. But
for the fact that W. P. Wood, who has
held this Office for many years, sol
EMMY declared that never never
again so long as he served the sover-
eign people of Maury county would
he partake of that which cheers and
also inebriates, he would have been
consigned to the shades of private
life. AS it is Mr. Wood, although con-
tinued in Office stands pledged to re-
sign the very minute that he gets too
free with the bottle.
1t all came about this way. A Jus
tice moved that the court elect Coun-
ty Surveyor and the motion prevailed
and then the fire works started Carl
Atkinson of Columbia was nominated
and then Mr.. Wood was placed before
the court. The roll call began. Three
Justice promptly answered "Atkin-
son" and 1t looked like the young man
from Columbia had walk over. But
Just about this time Wood found his
voice and asked the court to indulge
him for a few moments.
The request being granted Mr..
Wood stated that he was an old Con-
federate soldier, had filed the office
for long time, it was his living; that
he was untitled for anything else and
that to deprive him of the Office would
be great hardship. He stated, how
ever, that he knew that in the past he
had drank too much liquor, but he
would promise the court on his word
and honor that If again elected he
would "cut out liqour." This state
ment was received with applause and
the clerk was directed to begin at the
beginning and call the roll over, This
was done and the three who had voted
for Atkinson changed to Wood and
the latter won with votes to spare.
During the call of the roll Squire
Church wanted to know what a man
meant by cutting out liquor, how much
liquor did he have in mind and Squire
Ballanfant replied a single drink,
and then amid applause Squire Den
ton declared, 1T will soon be so far
away that we can't get any liquor for
any purpose"

governor that they never would have
made any such statements; he In
sisted that the men on trial were the
victims of their willy attempt to saddle
a crime that they themselves had com
mitted on the shoulders OF innocent
men. and closed with an eloquent ap-
peoI to the jury to return these men
10 their wives and children, and not
to stain their hands with the blood OF
innocent men, asserting that If in their
minds there was shadow of doubt
as to their guilt that the doubt should
be given to the accused. He closed
AT 1O.55 this morning, after an argu-
ment of four hours.
Acknowledgement Coldwell, who
closed for the state, spent two hours
in a bitter arraignment of the defen-
dants. characterizing them as das-
tardly towards, who whipped women,
invaded the sanctity of church and
home and killed innocent men in the
dead of night. He referred to the
fact that he had been threatened time
and again and that they had signited
their intentions of whipping his aged
father. but this makes no impress
sion on Ine; am going to fight you as
long as there is breath In my body and
| am going to hound you until the
crime of nightriding in obion county
is a thing of the past. You cant
Brighten me out of doing my duty. The
fight between you and me has just
begun" said the Encouragement. He
was especially bitter in the discussion
of the witnesses introduced by the
state, many of whom, he said, were
near kinspeople Of the defendants or
men upon whom the suspicion OF night
riding rested. He confessed that he
could not imagine motive that would
make a man come into court and at
tempt to impeach his own son when
he was not on trial, expressing a sym
patty for any one who would allow
their sentiments to influence them to
perjure themselves for their loved
ones, but he could not imagine any
strong enough to force a
man to testify as had Joe Hogg, and
asserted that any man who would do
so was no, in his opinion, worthy OF
belief; as to the other witnesses, their
motivee were plain.
