SW|MS 75 FEET UNDER
 WATER

Brookline, Mass, Dec. 23-By swimming under water 75 feet at the Brookline Natatorium, Miss Mill dred Wyman, seven years old, has undoubtedly set up a record for a swimmer of her age. So long did she stay down during her recent test, that fear crept over the little crowd watch ing, and even the instructors be- came a little apprehensive.
 She has been swimming for two years. She began thus early, she says, in order to some day swim to Boston Light. Miss Wyman asserts that some time she is going to make that swim, and so rival Boston's present titleholder of the honor, Miss Rose Pitonof.

 "Tt would seem to me-" says Miss Whiting, ''that the change we cali death is merely the withdrawal of the spiritual body from the physical body and that We are much the same person immediately after this that we were before, only we probably en- ter on finer conditions and better opportunities for progress.

OTTER LICKED
SIX CANNES
BUT sUCCUMBED TO A PEBBLE
THROWN BY PHILIP MARTINI
HIDE WORTH $3.50.

What is said to have been the big
gest otter out of captivity was initi-
ated into the ranks of the captured
this week by Philip Martin, who re-
sides on the Bear Greek pike, near
Horse Shoe Bend. And in capturing
the otter, Mr. Martin was forced to
the necessity of killing it, the weapon
used being rock.
The otter was savage brute, four
feet and ten inches in length, and
with a thirst for the scalps of dogs.
Five mastery CANNES, all of them
trained in the ways of the woods, were
licked by the varmint before Mr..
Martin stepped in with his pebble and
extinguished the life of the great cat.
The hide was sold to A. Samuels, of
this city, for the sum of $19.5O-a good
price for one throw.

JOHN FRIERSON
BROKE INTO JAIL
SPENT A PLEASANT NIGHT AND
PAID $40 FOR THE PRI-

How John F'rlerson broke into Jail
is the title of little ditty being sung
at the police station to the tune of
Who's Who and Why.
And thereby hangs a tale.
John Frierson is a prominent citi'
zen of the colored persuasion with
just a little of the convivial in his
mix-up. Wednesday evening he
drifted down the street while under
the influence of corn juice, accident
ally accosting Sergeant Barker, who
was ON duty at the police station.
Boss, do you nose were | can git
a nights lodgin," he asked inquiring-
ly This is the place replied the &C
commodating sergeant, as he slipped
John behind the bars on a charge of
drunkenness, and turned the key in
the lock.
With no inquiries as to the price of
lodging, John slept soundly until the
following morning, when he was ar
raigned before Recorder Erwin and
taxed $40. John parted with the
amount assessed, but stated that he
would pick his hostleries before
breaking in again.

PRICES HAVE BEEN SKIPPING
HIGHER FOR PAST FEW
MONTHS.
HAVE ALREADY DOUBLED IN PaICE
5rooms That Formerly Sold for
Thirty-fiVe Cents Now Bring Sixty
cents.-Farmers May Plant Broom
Corn.

Foreign dispatches regarding dol
lar brooms' are not more alarming to
the Columbia housewife than the big
advance in the price Of brooms right
here in Our midst"
Beginning with the early fall,
brooms have steadily advanced in
price until today they are bringing
nearly twice as much money as they
did a few months ago. Local dealers
are now getting sixty cents for the
brooms that formerly sold for thirty
five cents and forty-five cents for the
brooms that formerly sold for twenty
five cents.
The rise in the price of brooms
has been astonishing" said a local
dealer this morning. "The brooms
that we formerly retailed at thirty
five we are now compelled to charge
sixty cents for. This is the best grade
broom sold on this market. The
cheaper grade, the broom that former
ly retailed for twenty-five cents, now
sells for forty-fve. Every drummer
who comes around says that prices
will jump dollar a dozen by the
time he makes his next trip. OF
course, drummers always talk this
way on advancing market. However,
the indications are that their predic-
tions will come true, and | am conf
IDENTIFY expecting dollar brooms before
the next crop of broom corn is ready
for the market"
The high price of brooms is due to
the scarcity of broom corn. 1t is not
case of the inexorable workings of
the law Of supply and demand, but
simply of the law of demand 1t is
believed that practically all the last
years crop of broom corn is now in
the hands of manufacturers, who are
taking advantage of the situation to
tap the tills of the consumers.
There is but little broom corn
grown in Maury County, but with the
present incentive to grow this product
it is not unlikely that a good acre
age will be planted this year The
crop is not difficult to grow, and under
even ordinary conditions is profit
able.

Church viii Lose One.

Rev. George H. Mack. pastor Of the
First Cumberland Presbyterian
Church, returned Friday evening from
ST. Louis where he attended a meet
ing of the Assembly's committee on
reduced representation in the General
Assembly.
1t will be recalled that at the meet
ing of the General Assembly held last
year in Denver, DR.. Mack led a min
GRITTY report favoring reduced repre-
sentation in the Assembly, taking his
fight on the floor and winning out.
The Assembly's action was ratified by
the Presbyteries, and a committee of
six, of which Rev. S. ]. Nichols, of st.
Louis was chairman, met in st. Louis
this week to perfect the plans fer re-
ducing the number of delegates.
According to the plan perfected by
the committee, the number of dele
gates will be cut down from $50 to
500' said DR.. Mack this morning.
This action must be ratified both by
the General Assembly and by the
Presbyteries before it becomes official
and final The representation is
based on the sum total of ministers
and communicates, in some instances
the REIMBURSEMENT cut the representa-
ton in half. The Columbia Presby-
terry. for instance, will have its repre-
sentation reduced from two to one,
the smallest number permitted under
the rules. The General Assembly had
become so large that it was almost inn
possible to meet in church auditori-
ums. and this was one reason why re-
duction was wanted. Take Nash
vile, for instance, If the Assembly
should meet there it's sessions would
necessarily have to be held in the
Ryman Auditorium. This is I'M
chufchly and many ways objection
able"
The proposed reduction in repres-
entation will meet with favor in the
South, and is of special interest to
this section.

Beautiful, Deautl1ul snow!
The little white flakes over which
poets rave-this being habit of poets
and which those who are slightly
less sentimental denominate feathers
from the Devils geese, began to fit
leisurely down this morning shortly
after O'Clock. When the last one
had nestled with its brothers upon the
bosom of the earth fourteen inches OF
the filmy substance covered the
ground, delighting the heart of the
small boy, if not of the voter and cam
didate.
1t was the heaviest snowfall since
1892. This is the statement of those
who are prone to remember past
events, and the statement would pro-
badly be corroborated by the official
figures.
1t has been many moons since so
much snow fell within so short a
space of time, and never did the same
amount come down just before a
run-off primary was held in Maury
county.
The snow was welcomed exuber-
antly by the small boy, who pictured
the pleasures of skating and coast
ing. 1t was welcomed by the farmer,
whose wheat has spewed from the
ground during the recent freezes. But
it was not welcomed by the poor and
destitute, those who have but scant
supply of clothing, and scarcely no
food at ALL 1t means suffering for the
very poor, and there are many fami-
| lies in Columbia who will feel the
pinch of the weather.
The wheat crop in Maury County is
not looking the very best. Farmers
say that it is sick" and that snow
will be worth thousands of dollars to
the county just at this time The re-
! cent freezes have thrown the plant
from the earth, breaking many of the
roots by which it clings.
These miniature upheavals, follow.
ed by the rapid subsistence of the soil,

hardy plants, and has been source
of anxiety to the farmer, the miller
and the consumer With the protec-
ton afforded by natures blanket the
wheat is expected to recover it's
wonted spirits and to conjure back
its waning life. But the lamb crop
will not fare so well, and only those
juvenile sheep protected from the
weather will be able to enjoy the snow
storm.

The present snow is bigger than
any that has fallen in Maury county
since st, Patrick's day, March II,
1892. The snow that fell at that time
was sixteen inches in depth Prior to
that, the biggest snow that has fallen
in the last hundred years, was in
