A STREET RAILWAY.

The heart of the man who is foot
sore and weary will leap and bound
with JOY over the prospects of a street
railway for Columbia. There is nc
public utility that is so badly needed
and until it is secured this city must
rest under the indictment of lack of
enterprise. That the spirit of prog
ress should have permitted local pride
to lay dormant so long is one of the
things that cannot be explained. And
this is saying nothing of the financial
possibilities involved.
Col. Allen Brown and Judge w. B.
Turner, who appeared before the
Board of Mayor and Aldermen at their
meeting Thursday evening, asked for
a franchise to own and operate a
street railway in Columbia. They
were representatives of both local and
foreign capital, and stated that they
had ample funds in sight to construct
anu OpCldCO LAS PAOpOSOO AoAW ny
Whether the franchise is granted to
Col. Brown or to Judge Turner is of
no public concern. Should they Co
operate it would probably be better.
The main thing is to get the railway.
The franchise, with proper restric-
tons, will no doubt be granted. The
Board of Mayor and Aldermen are
business men, and as such know the
value to Columbia of a
good and modern street car system.
A mule car or a dummy would be
to walking. On the other |
hand, the proomters of street rail |
way for Columbia are also practical |
business men, and realize that In pro- |
riding a passenger transportation sys-
EN- for this city they will be engaged |
n a business enterprise that promises
,ood returns for the capital invested.
If the Normal School comes to Co.
umbia there is no doubt as to the
advent of a street railway.
BOOST BOTH.

THE LINCOLN PENNY.

There was a time when the penny
was a modest coin. Demure and de.
spised, it played but little part in az
fairs commercial, and was hardly
considered good enough to buy stamps
with in the South. But the new Lin
coin penny is pushing and enterpris-
Ing. It has forced itself on the public
with a whoop and a roar, The first
excitement was caused by the use OF
the Lincoln likeness on the lowly mon
ey. Then CONSERVATION was caused
by the discovery that the initials Of
the artist were upon the coin, con-
trary to custom and creed. Now it
has been found that the one cent piece
can unlock the Golfers Of the five cent
slot machines, and the uproar increas-
es. Commenting on this the Nashville
Banner says:
The Secretary of the Treasury is
confronted by q serious complaint con.
corning the new Lincoln one.cent
pieces. In order to protect the design
on these coins the edges were made
thicker than those Of the old coins,

SEPTEMBER SIXTH.

On September Sixth a meeting of

every county in the state for the pur-
pose of naming delegates to the state
meeting to be held in Nashville Sept

to confer regarding candidates to re-

be paid legislative candidates, as it
is recognized that much depends upon
the kind of representatives sent by
the people to the capitol.
The meeting here should be well

CHILD THROWN
FROM BUGGY
HAD BEEN TOLD NOT TO LET
HORSE GET TAIL OVER
THE LINE.

A serious accident was narrowly
averted Wednesday afternoon between
five and six o'clock when the. twelve
year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
vile neighborhood, was thrown from
buggy, striking the ground with
considerable force on her head and
hip. She was in town with her uncle,
Mr.. Jno. Perry, who left her alone
in the buggy in front of Woldridge's
drug store, and instructed her to the
effect that If the horse got his tail
over the line, not to pull on the line
in the attempt to get the tail off, as
it frequently caused him to start
kicking and was therefore dangerous.
While Mr.. Perry was in the drug store
the horse switched his tail over the
line and started off, at first in a walk
and later he increased his stride to
a brisk trot. He seemed not to be
in the least frightened, but Miss
Beckett, remembering the advice Of
her uncle, did not dare to touch the
lines in an effort to check the animal,
fearing that this might start him
kicking. The horse trotted along
briskly as far as the square, where
several men noticed the terror ex-
pressed on the girls countenance and
each made a dive at the Bride
Neither of the attempts was success
ful, however, and succeeded only in
turning his course toward the curbing
and overturned, throwing it's sole oc-
,upant with considerable force out en-
he ground. Several bystanders has
ened to her assistance, and she was
aiken to the store of ADHESION Bros.
where 1t was discovered that her head |,
md hip had sustained painful bruises,
tut that she had received no serious
njruies.

SHEEP scAs.

Houston Thomas, the well known
stock man, while in Columbia this
week commented on the spread OF
sheep scab and suggested that Maury
county farmers should take steps to
eradicate this dangerous disease. Ac-
eording TO Mr. Thomas the sheep scab
is prevalent in Kentucky and is a
dangerous enemy to the sheep grow
ing industry. He is of the opinion
that the scab will eventually spread
to Maury county, unless it's progress
is stopped by scientific methods, Mr..
Thomas suggests that farmers in
every locality should get together and
construct a dipping vat. to be used
by the entire neighborhood. This
vat. he said, could also be used FOR
dipping hogs and other animals
with vermin or insects
of any kind. The suggestion appears
practicable and The Herald recon-
mends it for what it is worth.

At q meeting OF the City Board Of
Education held last night the donation
Of one hundred thousand dollars BY
the city Of Columbia for the purpose
OF securing the Normal school was
recommended. The Board also called
mass meeting for Thursday night il
order to obtain an expression from
the citizens of Columbia regarding
the appropriation.
The Board Of Education is to be
congratulated upon its prompt action
Ii is also to be congratulated upon its
re recommendation that the Board OF
Mayor and Aldermen appropriate the
maximum amount allowed by law. II
the recommendation is adopted then
this city can certainly feel that ii
has done its part toward accepting
the big opportunity offered by the
state.
Many arguments have been ad-
vanced as to the benefits that would
accrue to Columbia by the location Of
the Normal school here. Equally as
good ones have been advanced as to
the benefits that the public would de-
rive by the location of the school in
town so accessible as Columbia.
But an additional reason for securing
the Normal has thrust itself upon Co
lumbia. This reason is that the loca-
ton of the. Normal here GUARAN-
TEES THE CONSTRUCTION OF A |
STREET RAILWAY.
The Herald believes that Columbia |
wants the Normal school. 1t also be-
lieves that the town is alive TO the
presented. However, the
best test of public sentiment is
mass meeting, and it is fortunate that
this meeting has been called. The
people are entitled to a voice in the
location of the Normal, and if they
don't want it Columbia should not
nave it. The school would be a fail
Ire if not backed by public sentiment.
Let all who have the welfare OF Co
umbia at heart attend the mass meet
ng.

WHAT THE MONEY is USED For

WHAT THE MONEY is USED FOR
There has been some discussion as
to how the money appropriated by the
county and city for the Normal school
will be applied. A difference of opin-
ion has existed as to whether these
funds would go for the erection of the
building and the purchase of grounds,
or would be used only partially for
that purpose. For the information Of
it's readers The Herald quotes the law
upon the subject, as follows:
Said issue of bonds shall be for NO
OTHER purpose than herein ex-
pressed, and the proceeds from sale
of said bonds shall be turned over to
the state comptroller ard placed TO
the credit Of the State Normal schools
of the county or municipality issuing
said bonds, to be used for the purpose
Of purchasing sites and erecting build
ines for said State Normal school Of
said county or municipality.
1t is thus seen that any sum appro-
priated by Maury county and Colum-
ola would be used solely for the pur-
chase of Normal school site and the
of a building thereon.
Not one cent will be used for the pur- |
pose of maintenance, as the state has
amply provided for this. No matter /
low large an amount is given by the
,ity and county the money will all be
expended here. The larger the
AMOUNT, the handsomer the building
hat will be erected, and the more
the grounds.

TWO NOMINATIONS FOR HALL OF
FAME

Governor Beckham, of Kentucky,
has nominated as the representatives
of his state in the Hall of Fame the
two Civil war presidents-Lincoln and
Davis. The nomination will be see
onded by the entire country, although
| it may be expected that statesmen of
the type of Hollingsworth will oppose
the placing of Davis statue in the
National capitol. If the presentation
of silver service bearing the likeness
of Jefferson Davis can be construed
as an offense, then surely the honor
ing of the great Southern chieftain in
more lasting manner will be looked
on by the bloody shirt wavers as little
short of crime.
The coupling of the names
of the two presidents is appro-
pirate. There are unreconstructed
Southerners who do not admire Lin
coin, there are equally as many citi-
zens of the North who are prejudiced
against Jefferson Davis. But both
were great, and it was their lot to
direct the destiny of the nation at a
peculiarly trying time. But there is
no doubt that of Kentuckys many dis !
tinguished sons Lincoln and Davis
will be recorded by history as the
two most entitled to fame.
In suggesting Lincoln and Davis
Governor Beckham appropriately
said:
Recently the state of Virginia Sc
lected as it's two representatives there

Lee and has had sculptors to prepare
statutes of them. 1t was an excel
lent choice. No state in the union
