ED F. GEERS, THE
SILENT MAN OF THE
TURF IN COLUMBIA
TALKS INTERESTINGLY. OF THE
OUTLOOK FOR THE RACING
SEASON. X
WALTER DIRECT A GREAT HORSE
Predicts Brilliant Future For Maury
County's Noted AnlmaI-Return Of
Star Pointer viii Promote Breed
ing Interests-Turf Experiences.

That veteran turfman, Ed F. Geers,
known to the turf world as the Silent
Man From Tennessee" of Memphis,
arrived in Columbia Wednesday and
was warmly received by his many
friends and admirers. While in the
city Mr.. Geers was the guest Of Will
and Frank Chaffin. Mr.. Geers is in
splendid health and never looked bet
ter physically. He talked freely of the
future cu.,~ +he trotter and PAGER
and said that 1t was never better. He
stated that his stables were in splen-
did condition, and that barring any
accidents that may happen, his horses
would come out in the spring in first
class shape.
In speaking of some of his horses,
Mr.. Geers said that Walter Direct,
2;05% was never in better form at
the season of the year and that he
looked good to lower his present rec

rect is great horse" said Mr.. Geers,
"and has never shown his full amount
of speed, and fully expect some great
things from him this year, as / VIII
campaign him heavily and will get all
out of him there is in him."
THE Harvester is five years old this
spring and is in better and more solid
condition than he was last season He
will be much stouter this year and
will be more difficult to head off from
the wire"
Mr.. Geers was asked what he
thought Of the old war horse Star
Pointer coming back to Tennessee.
and stated that he though II was
great thing for the state and especially
for Maury county, which is one Of the

best race horse producing sections in
the world.
From this line Of talk Mr.. Geers
drifted into telling some of his per-
sonal track and race experience.
When the subject Of Star Pointer
was brought up and the pedigree OF
the famous first horse to beat two
minutes he said it took him back to
the time when he drove Brown Hal,
the champion Of them all to his fast
record Of 2:12h at Cleveland, Ohio,
when he defeated Roy Wilkes, after
both horses had won two heats each
and both were lame
"This was the day of the high wheel
sulky," said Mr.. Geers, land consid-
aering the conditions, I never rode as
fast in my life behind any horse as 1
did behind Brown Hal that day in the
last half of the race. / got Brown Hal
away from the wire in a break, and
after there had been considerable
scoring, and the lead horse was fully
a hundred yards ahead before ever
got hi mdown, but finally pulled him
down and he hit his clip and l then
realized that he would do the effort of
his life. never saw horse respond
to a call as he did that day, and Roy
Wilkes soon began to loom in sight
and l son saw that I had him on the
hip. That was a blood stirring race
and there was never such excitement
seen in the park"
Mr. Geers is SO years of age and has
been driving in the race for IS years
and looks good for several years more
in the battle. He will leave for his
home in Memphis early Thursday
morning. While in Columbia Mr..
Geers was taken out to Chaffin Bros
farm and saw old Ella Brown, the
dam of Walter Direct 2:05%, Lou
Vaughn 2:09A and many other good
ones. Ella Brown is q years OF age
and is scheduled to foal this spring.

DECLARES THAT HE is NOT =
PARTY TO GoROoN-LooNEY
CONTROVERSY.
MAKING RACE ON HIS MERIT
In Dignified Letter He Declines To
Engage in a Public Oiscussion-EN-
presses Absolute Confidence in His
Nomination at Primary.

Hon. Jesse TomlnsOn, candidate loi
County Judge, has declined the inyl-
tation of ]. Trim Mcknight for joint
debate on the issues in that campaign.
In his letter declining the challenge,
MIR. Tomlinson says that he is not
aware that he is party to the con
troversy between Judge Gordon ana
Judge Looney" and there are therefore
no issues for him to debate. Mr.. Tom
Iinsons letter is dignified and to the
point and he makes it plain that he Is
seeking the Office of County Judge
alone upon his own merits.
Mr.. Tomlinsons letter to MI NC
knight follows:
J. T. Mcknight, Esq,
Columbia, Tenn.
Dear Sir:
Your public challenge to your oppo-
nents, including myself, for debate
on the controversy" in the County
Iudee's race. has been received and
submit the following reply thereto;
am not aware that l have been or
will be the subject of any newspaper
controversy" by reason of my candi-
dacy for the Office of County Judge. |
am not and will not be party to the
controversy between my competitors,
Judge w. o. Gordon and former Judge
F.. d. Looney. My eligibility to hold
the office has not been and cannot be
questioned and / am making this race
upon nv merit If l did not believe
was capable of rendering the people
efficient and economical service as
their County Judge and financial agent
I would not ask them for their support.
According to Judge Looney, Judge
Gordon is inefficient and extravaganza
with the peoples money. Judge COR
don charges that Judge Looney 10 not
eligible for the office. My candidacy
is free from these objections and l
cannot conceive of any good reason
why / should debate their "contro-
versy" upon the stump.
I have made my campaign for Coun-
ty Judge upon my merit. have seen
all the Democrats. that the limited
item and the condition Of the weather
would permit me to see. l have been
unable to see them all in person. but
7 shall esteem the vote Of every Dem
ocrat In the coming primary whether
or not It has been my pleasure to see
them in person. l do not seek any
controversy with you or with any OF
nv competitors. ask the vote OF
every Democrat in Maury county sole
" upon my merit. No man ever lived
who will be more grateful for the sur
frages of his fellow citizens than l, and
If I am elected, as now feel absolute
" assured that will be, I shall seek
to show my appreciation Of the honor
conferred upon me by the very best
service that can render my people.
For the reasons stated / can see no
good reason why I should accept your
challenge to joint discussion and |
therefore respectfully decline the
same.

BIG REAL ESTATE DEAL.

Rodick Property at Bar HarbOr
Changes Hands.
The largest real estate transaction ever
carried through at Bar Harbor was closed
Saturday when the entire Rodick property
was sold. The sale includes nearly all OF
the western side OF Main street in the
business section, Cottage, Rodick, West
and South streets properties and hundreds
of acres Of wild lands. The property is
estimated to be worth about $500, 0O0, on
which there is a mortgage OF s270,0O0 held
by the Rodick Realty Co. The title has
passed to l.. d. Beasy, OF Bar Harbor, and
John A. Peters, of Ellsworth.
The Rodick Realty Co.'s holdings were
at one time the sole property Of Fountain
cially, Mr.. Rodick, desiring to form a
corporation, transferred his property to
the Rodick Realty Co., which issued first
and second mortgage bonds.
All but few shares Of the company's g
stock were held by Fountain Rodick,
those not owned by him having been in
the hands OF the other directors John A.
Peters, Charles II. Wood, Vernon G. Was
gait and Thomas Searles.
Mr.. Deasy and Mr.. Peters have acquired
the property for the sole purpose OF specu-
lation. There is no truth in a statement
published that the property is likely to go
into the hands of syndicate Of summer
people. The property will be managed by
just the same directors, the company re-
manning as it has been in the past. A
new director will be chosen in Mr.
Rodick's place, and it is probable that Mr..
Deasy will be elected. There will be no
new management, and the property will
be looked after just as formerly, the
change in ownership affecting it none
" whatever, in this way.
