In Memoriam.

Miss Rose Schmid died January 1st
| 1909.
Again has death taken from us dear
friend, who has stood by as in the
death of our loved ones.
Sept. 10, 1907, we clasped hands fol-
the last time on this earth. Then il
was Good Bye Rose" and Good Bye
Maggie" never to meet again in this

While engaged in school duties we
had not always the time to write, but
the letters came just the same. AL

She admired our state flower, the
yellow California poppy, but like the
flower she loved, she was taken from us
at the beginning of the New Year, after
she had sent us pretty present and
wished us GA Merry Christmas and A
Happy New Year"
Rose Schmid passed from this life
Jan. /, 1909, to the better land beyond
with her Heavenly Father, whom she
trusted, and now she wears spiritual
body, waiting on the other side to vel

Especially fond and tender was her
affections for little children. which love
was reciprocated. Little Hazel, Ray

Hulah and others were often mentioned
in her letters. Those who knew her
best loved her, which was shown by the
beautiful flowers sent by friends and
the comforting words of her pastor,
Rev Hanks of the Congre gational
church.
She had great sympathy for the sick
This was shown by her daily visits to

The MAYORS SALARY.

1t is to be regretted that the Board
of Aldermen killed the ordinance of
Alderman Hayes to reduce the salary
of the Mayor from $500 to $500 per an
mum. AS matter of fact there is no
very good reason why the Mayor of
Columbia should be paid any salary
at all, certainly $500 a year with the
perquisites that go with the office Is
entirely too much for the time and
attention given to the duties of the
place. The city has not had Mayor
in years, it probably never had one,
who allowed the duties of the office to
seriously interfere with his private
business. In fact, the Mayor OF this
city as a rule, devotes very little If
any more time to public business than
do the Chairmen of the important
committees.
The salary of $500 per annum to-
gether with the fees of the office
makes the place worth some $500.
This is not sufficient compensation to
secure the services of capable May
or who will devote all of his time to
the business of the city to the entire
neglect of his private affairs. And it
is entirely too much for the city to
pay for the partial services OF any
Mayor no matter how conscientious he
may be in the discharge of his duties
where he pursues his usual private
avocation or business while serving
as the city's chief magistrate.
So far as The Herald is concerned
It believes that no salary whatever
should be paid for Mayor in a city
of the population of Columbia. It
does not believe that the payment OF
a salary to the Mayor has or Will i'm

must then face the problems of over
production and consequent low prices
No such problems face the people
where the products of the soil are
diversified. In the intensive and di'
versified farming of this section lies
the secret of this peoples prosperity
and their greatness. Just as long as
the people of this country produce all
of the various crops indigenous to the
soil their prosperity is assured.
The business institutions OF this
county are on the most solid and sub
stantial foundations they have ever
known. the farmers of the county owe
less than they ever did; their bank
balances are larger than ever before
and peace and plenty is the portion OF
what should be the happiest and most
contented people beneath the sun
Just a little more enterprise and prog
ress upon the part of the people OF
Columbia would add immensely to
the business of the town. When
times are prosperous and money is
easy there is always danger OF stag
nation and a paralysis of effort

PROSPERITY IN MAURY.

With every product of the farm sell
ing at almost record prices, with the
values of and steadily tending up
ward and with a bumper yield OF
almost every crop, the farmers OF
Maury county are preparing to enjoy
the highest degree of prosperity tAaI
thew have ever known. These high
prices may be little rough on the
town fellow whose salary figure has
remained untouched and uninfiuenced
by prosperity's magic wave, but there
is no denying the fact that they are
the making of the country When the
farmer has money to spend there is
always plenty of money in all other
channels of trade business is livery
and times are good.
No country in the whole world Is
more resourceful than Maury county.
It's lands produce almost every crop
known to the North American contl-
nent. It's climate is unsurpassed any
where in this world, the winters are
short and mild and the weather is sell
dom uncomfortably hot and then FOR
only few days at time. 1t has all
of the advantages of the richest sec
tions upon the globe without their dis
advantages.
There can never be a total crop
failure in Maury county. While the
people here will perhaps not enjoy a
greater degree of prosperity the com
ing year than their neighbors in the
cotton sections, this year is exception
al, and this condition is due altogether
TO the high price of the fleecy staple

the elements and if sun and rain are
properly distributed and providence

THE NORMAL CAMPAIGN.

There are twenty-five towns in Mid
die, East and West Tennessee after
three Normal Schools authorized by
the last Legislature. Of course nine
teen of these towns are going to be
disappointed But every one of them
will profit from the campaign which
has been made for the Normal There
is today a stronger sentiment in favor
of good schools, of better educational
facilities and for a general uplift in
all things educational in this State
than ever before. This sentiment is
stronger than it was before the cam
paign for the Normal Schools com
menced. Not in the history of Ten
nessee has public interest been so TO-
eused upon educational matters as
it is today and this is due largely
to the intense but friendly rivalry be-
tween the towns for the location OF
Normal Schools.
The very fact that twenty-five coun-
ties have made large donations OF land
and money for the location of great
educational institutions is proof posi-
tive. if proof were lacking, of the great
hold which the school system has up
on the people of the State. When
people are willing to part with their
money, when the pocket-book Is touch
ed evidence is not lacking of the deep
hold which the educational interests
have upon the hearts of the people OF
Tennessee.
Maury county has already profited
by the campaign. AS we have here
toofre stated it may be that the school
will not be located here, although how
the State Board could find more suit
able location for the Normal in Middle
Tennessee than Columbia is beyond
our understanding, but the campaign
which has been made by Col. Fry,
Judge Turner and their associates for
the school has already brought forth
fruit. But for this agitation it is high
" improbable that the County Court
would have made an appropriation
for a County High School, much need
ed as is that institution here.
This county, unfortunately, has new
er manifested that enthusiasm for the
public school system which ought to
the attitude of the people
toward so worthy a cause. But con-
ditions are improving. Our people
are becoming alive to the Importance
of a first class school system. They
are aroused as never before to the
necessity for providing an equal OPP
portunity for all of the boys and girls
of the county to obtain a common
school education May the day soon
come when every white boy and white
girl in Maury county shall have within
easy reach the chance for nine months
school every year If the Normal
School campaign shall advance this
cause It will not have been in vain
and will have been worth many times
its effort and cost even though politi-
col considerations should locate the
Normal in some less favored section.
