GROUNDS, PREMISES OR IN ANY
BUILDINGS NOW USED BY THE
COLUMBIA MILITARY ACADEMY"
With but two dissenting votes, the
above resolution was passed Monday
morning by the Quarterly County
Court, after heated debate that at
times bordered on the sensational.
Judge E. E. Erwin led the fight against
the resolution, and was ably seconded
by County Judge Gordon.
The resolution was championed by
County Attorney Whitthorne, Esquires
HAYES, Fariss, Greenlaw, Brooks and
others.
But once did the friends of the reso-
luton feel that defeat stared them in
the face-and that was when Judge
Gordon ruled the resolution out of
order. The ruling of the chair was
not sustined upon an appeal by Es-
Quire Hayes.
The whole fight conferred around an
alleged scheme to convert Columbia
Military Academy into a Normal
school, the claim being made that the !
Trustees of the institution had the |
authority to dispose Of the Academy !,
grounds for cash consideration. 1t
was asserted by Mr. Whitthorne, in a
vigorous speech, that one of the trus-
tees had stated that the Academy
would be decided to the state for Nor
NAL school purposes, and that the
100000 voted by the county and
the $4,000 voted by the city, would
revert to the possession of the trus-
tees. +
The opponents of the resolution
took the grund that the adoption of
the resolution meant the loss of the
Normal school to Columbia. I'VE had
as well telegraph the State Board not
to come" was the way the proposition
was stated by one of the speakers,
and it seemed to express the senti-
ments of the small but determined
Court Called to Order.
The Court was called to order
shortly after 10 o'clock by Judge Cor
don, with good proportion of the
magistrates present. Prayer was Of
Tered by Esq. Hayes, after which
Judge Gordon introduced Representa-
i've Galloway. who addressed the

Roger Black Quits The Game For
Good.
(By Frank D. Lander. Jr.)

| NASHVILLE. Tenn. Oct 4.-Mer-
Ger developed unexpected strength
and Vanderbilt unexpected weakness
in the gridiron contest between the
two schools on Dudley Field Saturday.
The result was 2S-5 in favor of the
Gold and Black, the Blake representa-
tives making touchdown in the mid
die of the second half on ball that
Neeley fumbled, Poole running sixty
yards for the score. The Mercer boys
displayed considerably more ability
and training than was anticipated, and
the Commodores fell far short of the
excellent pace they sat for themselves
in the s. P. U. game a week before.
This was partly, perhaps mainly, due
to the fact that Morrison, Griffin and
White were unable to enter the game
on account of injuries and that Cecil
Covington was forced to retire at the
very beginning by dislocated knee.
The one redeeming feature from a
Vanderbilt standpoint was the work of
Metzger, who played at fullback. His
shift from half to full is conceded to
be a master move by Coach McGugin.
Built much on the same pattern as
Owsley Manner, he is all like flash,
and strikes the line with terrific
force. Being unable to display any
CT T1Crfh OF rrfn nRsa
strength lay in her defense, where
cellars, Jacobs and Poole we're the
stars.
The Commodore lineup will in the
big games show considerable change
from the s. P. U. game. The back
field will probably be made up of Will
liams and Morrison, who will be in
the game again within few days, at
half and Metzger at full Griffin will
not get in shape until the last Of the
season, and probably not at all, for
that same knee, which has given him
no end of trouble for years, was in
jured in the S. P. U. game, and though
it is improving, will require several
weeks to thoroughly heal up. Neeley
will take Morrison's old place at quar-
ter. with Rabbit" Robins ready to go
in at any moment. The ends will no
doubt be Willis Stuart and Allen
Brown, the latter showing up in great
shape yesterday. Covington's injury
will keep him out Of it the rest Of the
season. Roger Black, by reason OF
his being a medical student and there
fore required to do dissecting work
each afternoon, has quit reporting for
practice. The line will probably re-
main the same as in the S. P. U. game
with White at center, Ross and Nc
Iehee at guards and Freeland and l..
Jovington at the tackles. Stegall,
who was used at center in the Mer-
.er game, showed up well and will be
as a sub-lineman. The line

Another Point u Order.


While Judge Gordon was speaking
Esq. Hayes made the point of order
that he was out of order in that he
had ruled the motion to amend the
original resolution out Ct order. But
the speech-making continued. While
Judge Gordon was on the floor Esq.
Hayes pumped questions at him.
Are you in favor of giving the $780,
900 of the county and the $4,000 of
the city to the trustees of Columbia
Military Academy" was one of the
queries. Judge Gordon parted by
saying that there was no use crossing
bridge until it was reached.
The Finale.
After some more speech-making of
the heated order Judge Erwin agreed
to the passage of the resolution by
the striking out of the words "any
educational institution" and the sub
stitution of the words The Columbia
Military Academy" AS amended the
resolution was adopted with but two
votes.
The court then adjourned until next
Monday.

state good roads convention. Mr.. Ga
loway stated that the proposition t
construct a boulevard from Memphis
to the eastern extremity of the stat,
had met with favor from the cit!
delegates, but that it was strenuously
opposed by the country delegates
who thought the the state funds
should be expended upon the country
roads. He said that the fight was not
precipitated until the last day of the
convention, when there were but tnir
ty-five delegates present, the remain
der Of the three hundred delegates
having left for home. However, il
was defeated after hard fight.
Upon the question of federal assist.
ance in the maintenance of roads used
as rural routes the convention had en-
dorsed the proposition for the help of
Uncle Sam The convention had fav-
ored a law prohibiting the use of
broad tires, but had baked at the
minimum tire being fixed at four
inches.
This, he said, would work a hard
ship upon the farmers in the billy
sections, who cannot use broad tires
on the farm, and would have required
them to own two wagons.
Mr. Galloway reported that the con-
vention had voted the present road
law antiquated, and has recommended
it's revision, and had also favored the
payment of road tax in money. Per-
sonally, he had favored the optional
payment of road taxes, either in work
or money.
The orphanage.
Esq. Gooch was then recognized by
the chair and spoke enthusiastically
for the appropriation of county funds
for the use of the Tennessee Orphans
Home. This institution will be erect
ed within the corporate limits of Co
lumbia and will be non-sectarian.
DIR. Boaz, who was present in the
court room, by invitation of Judge
Gordon, also spoke in favor of the
However, DR.. Boaz stated
that he had no expectation of appear
ing before the court and did not SAX
'or an appropriation. He merely
stated the purpose of the orphanage
and left the matter of funds to the
discretion of the court.
Judge Gordon stated that the coun- !
y was paying out large sums OF mon
" for the maintenance of inmates in j
he Industrial school, and that David
on and other counties also voted
arge sums for this purpose. He rec

The fight on the resolution regard
ing the amendment of the resolution
appropriating 100000 for the location
of the Middle Tennessee Normal
school was then precipitated. The
resolution was offered by Esq. Hayes.
This fight waged, with varying de-
grees of intensity for the next hour,
motions to adjourn and other Interrupt
lions serving to check the flow of ora
tory at times. When tho smoke
cleared away it was found that but
two magistrates. Messrs. Denton and
Davis had voted no. Judge Erwin,
who led the opposition voted in the
affirmative when the show down came.
Whitthorne Speaks.
County Attorney Whitthorne spoke
for the adoption of the resolution. He
began by stating that the Arsenal
grounds were purchased with funds
donated by residents of Maury coun-
ty. the original cost being $4,000;
that later they were converted into a
military school by the enaction OF a
bill introduced by Congressman Pad
gett, and that under one construction
Of that act the sole power to sell the
and buildings rested in the

New Point of Order.

Judge Erwin made the point of or
der that the resolution had been ruled
out OF order and that there was no
appeal from the decision of the chair.
Gordon Speaks.
Judge Gordon called Esq. Ricketts,
to the chair and took the floor in op-
position to the resolution. He op-
posed it vigorously. He took the
ground that the passage of the reso-
luton meant The sase, of the. Normal
school.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1909-10-08
Judge Erwin.


Judge Erwin was the next speaker
and he argued against the resolution.
He took the position that Mr.. Whit
thOrne had misconstrued the act Of
congress under which the Military
Academy had been founded. He said
that in his opinion the trustees exer-
cised no power TO sell the property.
and that furthermore they had no in
tention of dong so, and that any
such resolution as was up before the
court would kill whatever Chance Co
lumbia may have for securing the Nor
NAL. He declared that Mr. Hughes
was opposed to the normal coming TO
Columbia, and that his opinion was
therefore of little value Judge Erwin
held that the General Educational bin
provided that the funds appropriated
by the county should be used for the
purchasing of a site, the construction
of buildings thereon, etc. and that
none Of the money voted could be
used for the purchase of the Military
Academy.
Can that Board deed the Military
Academy?-Mr Barthell says it can?
asked Mr. Whitthorne.

At this point another motion to ad-
journ was made. Judge Gordon put

ried. The roll call was asked for and
but five magistrates voted aye-Steph-
