ONLY THREE WORK
DAYS BEFORE GREAT
BATTLE OF BALLOTS
ON NEXT TUESDAY THE VOTERS
WILL ELECT GOVERNOR
AND LEGISLATURE.
hooper, ELECTION is AS URED
Main Interest Appears to Be centered
In Contest for Members Of the Cen
eral Assembly-size Of the Vote OF
state.

With only three more week days In
terveniag interest in the great battle
of ballots next Tuesday is getting In
tense. On that date the people OF
Tennessee will elect a Governor. a
Railroa.. Commissioner. ten members
Of Congress, thirty-three Senators and
ninety-nine Representatives. In sddi-
ton there will be special elections in
some districts.
The vote on next Tuesday 10 ex-
pected to be larger than 1t was In Au-
gust when 100000 we're polled in the
judicial races. However, this II an
OF year politically speaking when the
is never az large In Tennessee az 1t
is in a presidential year. The total
vote for Governor tcur years ago WAS
about 20U,OOU but the excitement and
the interest was. not so great as 1t Is
now. A conservative estimate OF the
vote this year places 1t in the neigh
hood OF 100000. In 1902 1t was less
than 125,OOO and In 1896 1t was about
100000, while in 1894 1t was around
that figrre, so that taking the average
for the past four "off'' year elections
and tho vote does not go over 100000.
There is this difference, however,
between the elections this year and
that Of previous years. In former
years there have been comparatively
few legislative contests, the Drima-
.ries aud conventions having as a gen.
eral rule settled these matters, al
though four years ago there were
few CT these contests carried to the
November election especially In the
cities. This year only comparative
ly small percent of the legislative con-
tests were settled in the party organi-
cations and these fights are sure to /
increase the total vote in November.
The vote may go to 275,OOO but ii 1t
exceeds. 100000 there will be surprise.
AS to the general result in the State |
the only doubtful situatton
is that presented by the Legislative !
fights. The election of Hooper and |
Enloe ig so far conceded that the bet |,
tors are placing two to one on the
fusion ticket. Some bets wer eplaced
at even money earlier in the campaign
but the odds are the rule now.
Naturally local interest Is largely
conferred In the legislative contest.
Both sides are claiming Maury county,
but tie regular nominees, Galloway.
Lirscomb and Greer apparently have !
the better chance. In fact their sup
porters are working with confidence /
that seems to guarantee success.
However, the opposition is as busy as
a bee and the struggle at tn eDolts
Tuesday promises to be one OF the
most hctly contested and exciting ever
known to the politics OF Maury coun-
~.
AS usual The Herald wants the re-
turns from the country precincts as
early as possible. The officers OF the
election are earnestly requested to call
The Herald,e ither phone No. 1 and
give the result at their boxes just as
soon as the votes are counted. What
ever news The Herald has from the
election It will gladly give in return

! Mention has been made heretofore
in The Herald in regard to the short
course in Agriculture which will be
given in this city Nov. 21-26, and al
this time everything indicates the sue
cess of the course, which it seems GER
tain will be attended by large mum
Der of progressive farmers and others
Interested In agriculture and cllied
interests.
The course will be given by the
University of Tennessee in co-operer-

instruction will be given by lectures
and demonstrations on soils, crops
and fertilizers: corn and grain judg-
ing, feeds, feeding and management;
dairying, and truck and fruit growing.
All farmers. young and old OF Maui
ry and adjacent counties are cordial
ly invited 10 attend any and all SEES
sions of the course. The management
ask that they bring samples OF corn
to be tested and judged. They arc al
so urged to bring notebooks and to
spend the entire week in learning bet
ter methodc Of farming.
The night sessions will be devoted
to methods of teaching agriculture,
and will be especially designedt aid
rural school teachers In presenting.
this important subject in the most at
tractive way to their pupils. There
will be no fees, no tuition, and no ex-
aminations and everybody is welcome.
The people OF Maury county are for
tunate In having the opportunity to
attend the, short course, and 1t is prob
able they will show their appreciation
by taking advantage of 1t to the fullest
extent.
The commissioner Of agriculture
and other speakers who we're present
at the county institute held in Octo-
Der, urged farmers to educate their
along agricultural lines, and
10 impress them with the nobility OF

I'd the claims Of agriculture In an able
and aggressive manner, and the key
note of some of the speeches was ed

SHORTAGE OF $6O,OOO
In st. Louis Sub-Treasury Allowed to
Become OutIawed.

Washington, April 9.-The alleged
shortages of more than $4,000 at the
United States subtreasury and of the
collector of customs at st. Louis,
which. it is charged, have been IN
existence since 1906, were discussed by
the new rules committee of the house
at it's first meeting today. The mat
ter came up in the form of resolu-
ton introduced by Representative
Shackleford (Mo.), providing for a
congressional investigation. Mr.. Shac-
kIeford said he had tried unsuccess-
fully to get an investigation for three
years He said there was no doubt in
his mind that the guilty parties were
being protected by others higher up.
He pointed out that although the
secretary of the treasury recommended
that suits be brought against the
bondsmen of alleged defaulters, the re-
sponsible parties in st. Louis had neg
lected to do so. and the statute of linn
itations now had run AGAINST them.

FIRST CASE IN KANSAS.
Where Train Crew Has Been Tried on
Account of a Wreck

sail, engineer and Fred Poyner, head
brakeman, on the Missouri Pacific
freight train which crashed through
the Missouri Kansas & Texas passen-
ger train at Moody Junction, in this
county, last October, will be tried,
after several continuances, in the Cof-
fey county district court April 20.
The charge is manslaughter because
of the death Of Miss Pearl Nelson of
Americas, who was killed in that col
lision. The case is the first ever
brought in Kansas in which the train
crew, supposed to be at fault in a
wreck. is held for trial. 1t may be
that the jury will find that the train
men on the Missouri Pacific were
blameless, but the county attorney, E.
]. Gregg, felt it his duty to test it.

BLUE DUCK TEAM WINS FIGHT
Adams Boys Take First Place in Warm
Membership Contest.

Blues, 1874; Reds, 167.
This was the standing of the Y. NJ.
c. A. membership teams when David
Bowie, president of the organization,
before a crowd of excited hustlers an
nounced the result of the contest for
members which has been waged for Is
days. This now places the membership
at about 1910, the highest mark in the
history of the association.
President Bowie stated that this was
the most successful contest of the kind
which has yet been held, and that
great credit was due to Capt. Geo. God
frey Moore of the Blue ducks and Capt.
L. L. Adams. together with about a
hundred workers on each team.
1t will probably be another week be-
fore the duck dinner is served to the
members of the Blue duck team and a
mush and milk supper to the Reds.

There are no really important cases
