catching the spirit of progress in a
wonderful way. The meeting today
was held in the Chancery Court room
of the Court House.
Prior to the teachers meeting the
Maury County School improvement
association was in session. Many in
teresting reports were read, which
indicated that Arbor day had been
generally observed, and that the

STOCKHOLDERS
ARE HELD LIABLE
NEW PROVISION IN THE CHARTER
OF A MEMPHIS TRUST
COMPANY.

Special interest attaches to some
of the provisions of one charter grant
ed today by Secretary of State Hal
Ium w. Goodloe. In the charter OF
the Southern Mortgage & Trust Com.
pany of Memphis, capital $4,000,
which was fled today, one of the pro
visions binds the stockholders in the
corporation for the full value of their
stock, not only, but in addition to this
the stockholders are individually liza
BILE to the amount of the par value OF
their stock as security to depositors.
This provision is made in accord
ance with a new state law which was
passed during the last session of the
General Assembly, and marked a de-
parture from the original banking
laws of this state There are not
more than half dozen banking cor
Dorations now operating in this state
which have as yet incorporated this
provision in their charters"
The above item was taken from the
Nashville Banner of December the
1st. The Phoenix Savings Bank 4
Trust Co. of this place, was chartered
under this new law and is one of the
very few state banks in this state
operating under the double liability
law, which puts it on the same footing
as National banks.

THE GRAND JURY
MUST ANSWER THE CHARGE OF
MURDER IN THE FIRST
DEGREE.
IS ADMITTED TO BOND
Attorney General Job Garner Accepts
Bail in The Sum of Five Thou
sand Dollars, Which is Promptly
Executed.

Clifford Dodson, the young white
boy charged with the murder of Riggs
Watson, an elderly man, both of the
Theta neighborhood, was indicted by
the grand jury Friday on the charge
CT murder in the first degree.
On account of the boys tender age,
and the circumstances of the killing,

the sum of $4,000. The bond was i'm
mediately executed and Dodson left
for home.
The killing of Watson occurred
some months ago, the implement used
being a block of wood. 1t seems that
the elder man was teasing the younger
one who finally became exasperated
and threw a wooden block at his
tormentor The block struck Wat
sons skull, crushing the bone, and
INJECTING wounds that finally proved
fatal The wounded man lived for
some weeks, during which time the
skull was trepined. Since the death
of Watson young Dodson has been
confined in the county Jail, pending
the action of the grand jury.
Bond for young Dodson was made
by John E. Dodson. E. E. Dodson and
W. C. Stone.

Age of Herring.

According to researches made by
DR.. Knut Dahs in Norway, the her
ring may live to a good old age, and
the age of different kinds of behring's
may differ very much. Thus an an
alysis of 1062N'large" herrings taken
by drift nets off the northern coast
of Norway in August, 1907, showed
that the age varied from 3k to 16k
years, the greatest proportion 1922
being Sk years; the sizes varied
from "a centimetres coz in.) to 80
centimetres (15% in.)-there were
only two Of the latter, their age be-
ing 12k and 14k years respectively.
Then 297 autumn-spawning behring's
from the mouth of the Christiana-
ford varied from S to Is years Of
age, and from 10A to 10 inches in
length, the average length being liz
inches and the average age 1914
years. On the other hand, 800
spring-spawning behring's from the
same place ranged in length from
9B to 10 inches, and in age from 4
to II years, the average age being
So years and the average length liz
inches. The age in all these cases
was determined by a study of the
markings on the scales.-Fishing Ga

I'M the illustration dotted French fan

In the illustration dotted French han
mel is finished with simple stitching,
but linen and similar waistings are
utilized at all seasons Of the year, and
this model is adapted to anything that
can be finished in tailor style.
The waist Is made with fronts and
back. The pleats are laid after the
shoulder seams are closed and are
stitched for full length at the back, to
yoke depth only at the fronts. There
Is an attached pocket which can be
used or omitted as liked. When the
Dutch collar is chosen it is sewed to
the neck edge, but when the stock is
used it is finished separately. The
shirt waist sleeves are gathered at
their lower edges and finished with
straight bands and the long ones in
clude rolled-over cuffs. The plain
sleeves are made in one piece each.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is four and a
quarter yards twenty-one or twenty
four, two and seven-eighth yards thir-
ty-two or two and a quarter yards
forty-four inches wide.

Foxy German Emperor.
By F.. ALEXANDER POWELL.

The Kaiser, finding himself iso-
lated as the result of French and
British diplomacy, debarred on every
hand from territorial expansion in
Europe. had dreamed of a commercial
empire in Asia. But Wilhelm Is the
kind of a mar who prefers to see
things with his own eyes, n that
is why, in the spring of 1897, he set
out on his spectacular tour of the
Near East. He rode through Pales-
tine in a theatrical uniform made for
the occasion, with a great cavalcade
behind him. At Jerusalem he laid
the cornerstone ofOa German church;
at Haifa he addressed a great as
semblage of German colonists; from
Damascus he carried away with him
the priceless furnishings Of the pal
ace which he occupied, loaned, for
the occasion, by the neighboring
pashas: at Ba'albek a peculiarly hid
eous tablet was placed in the Temple
of Venus to mark his visit, and so he
came to STEAMBOAT, where Abdul
Hamid. his friend and brother,
awaited him.
Imagine, if you can, a more queer
ly assorted pair. The Sultan, crafty,
cautious, timid, patient; the Kaiser,
bombastic, blatant, h~ot-headed, DOM
ineering. This meeting Of the mon
archs was as curious as any In mod
ern history-the one a ruler in spite
of his physical cowardice, and the
shrewdest diplomat in Europe; the
other a sort of footlight king. Hum
BILE, patient, and f~urtive, the Master
of Turkey listened, while the VA
Lord Numbered. Always he dilated
on his great idea, the Drang mach
Osten-that onsweep to the East OF
German Imperialism. This strangely
mated pair, these masters OF East and
West, made a compact that the one
would abstain from intervening In
Crete and would use his influence to
obtain the withdrawal Of the inter-
National soldiery from the island, and
that the other would give him, in
payment, u TlSul-OI-"dy LII LID ioii-
road across Turkey-in-Asia. And so
they arranged it between them, the
bilious, sallow-faced, silent little
man with his eternal cigarette, and
the stoutish, aggressive, domineering
Teuton who puffed internationally at
q black cigar. The Sultan
had, indeed, bartered a kingdom for
the Kaiser's friendship. To the Ger
man concessionnaires vas given the
exclusive right to cultivate the land
within this railway zone - $4,000
square miles in all, and every foot
of it, to all intents and purposes,
German soil-to work the mines and
the forests within this radius; to
grow wheat, tobacco and cotton; to
colonize, and to navigate the streams,
not to mention various subsidiary
rights. The concession admits,
moreover, of the concessionnaires'
utilizing all waters along the route
for electric purposes; and such pow
er will eventually be used, 1t is
planned, for lighting their towns and
running their factories .-Everybody's

Of the cities put institutional life on
such a high plane as seems to have
entirely discouraged this form of So
cial expression in the country. 1t is
public information, confirmed by the
inquiry and report of President
Roosevelt's Commission on Country
Life and other authoritative agencies,
that the people of the open country
are woefully unorganized for any pur-
pose; that their churches, schools and
such organizations as do exist lack,
for the greater part. both body and
spirit; that there is'little if any social
life, and that in practice ambition and
progress among country me- and wo-
men are most generally denoted by
their departure for the city.
1t must be true that for every man
ufacturing and trading man surround
ed by healthy social conditions in
town, there should be a proportionate
number of producing men, or part of
a man, in equally healthy conditions
in the country.
Who is attending to this business:
Every national or local organiza-
ton of persons working for the adj
vancement of humanity, which is con-
tent to limit it's activities within city
gates, is pursuing a policy which may
eventually perfect a manufacturing
and trading scheme, but which makes
absolutely no provision for putting it
into effect through the production Of
raw material, and for sustaining 1t
through the production of food and
clothing.
We are engaged in a broad, lasting
development of our national life, yet
all roads lead to town, all action is
there, all plans are city plans. In the
United States the self-governing po-
litical unit is the county, each with a
county-seat, which is frequently a
stable town or city, and for a great
part of them these counties are the
country in miniature exhibiting with
in their limits to a greater or lesser
degree most Of the important, vital
phases of our national life.
Who ever heard Of a county plan?

The Bears Hug, No Such Thing.

It is a pity that among the old no.
lions of bears which have to be dis
carded in the light of larger knowl-
edge is that they kill their prey by
hugging tia lovely DEATH" as Mr..
Emanuel's young lady said. All bears
seemingly follow the same fight
ing tactics, attacking first by strik-
ing with their paws and then, on COM
ing to close quarters, endeavoring to
clutch the adversary with their claws
and draw it within reach of their
jaws. This act of pulling an enemy,
dog or man, close up to the chest to
bring the teeth into play might easily
be mistaken for hugging and doubt
less gave rise to the lief.-London

Most Plays Are "Padded."

A play is rarely produced that
would not be improved, from a dra-
matte and ARTISTIC standpoint, If 1t
were shortened from a third to a half.
Many dramas that have succeeded
would be far better condensed to one
act. For instance, "The Wolf" by
Eugene Walter, would be much
stronger In this tabloid form. 1.-THE
Fighting Chance" by w. J. Hurlburt.
in which Blanche Bates is starring
bears all the earmarks of having been
a one-act play stretched into three. 1t
has material for about three-quarters
of an hour at the most Of exciting
drama. Not even the wonderful skill
of David Belasco, nor the acting Of
Blanche Bates and John Cope, cab
relieve the tedium Of the whole first
act and most of the second.-Hartley
Davis, in Everybody's.
