MELONS COMMAND
A READY MARKE [
ALTHOUGH THE SIZE AND QUAIL
tt Is HARDLY UP TO FORMER
STANDARD PRICE IS GOOD.

Although the lucious water melon is
coming to Columbia by the wagon load
the price of this delicious fruit re-
mains stiff. The quality is not extra
good this year but for all that the mel
ons command a good price, better
than usual considering the size. No
very large melons have so far been
seen on the market this season, the
largest weighing not more than thirty
pounds. Growers state that there
win be no record breakers In size.
The seasons have not altogether been
propituous and conducive to the
growth of the largest melons. Canta-
loupes and musk melons there are
In. plenty and the quality is excsp-
tionally good.

METHODIST CONFERENCE.
Local Members Will Make a Strong
Pull to Get the Next Session
for This City.

AS the time for the session Of the
Tennessee Annual Conference draws
near the interest of the local Metho-
dists in securing the 1911 session for
Columbia becomes more acute. 1t
will be recalled that the second quar-
terly conference of the First Metho-
dist church formal invitation for the
next session of the conference was
extended.S
This invitation will be presented to
the next conference at Clarksville by
a delegation from Columbia. The
Board of Trade will also join in the
invitation and every effort will be
made to secure the 1911 session for
Columbia. The conference has not
met here since 1899 and it is believed
that success will crown the efforts OF
those seeking to secure the next ses-
sion.

SERVICES OF CHURCHES
UNTIL OCTOBER FIRST
REV. J. C. MoLLoY FILLS PULPIT
AT THE SUNDAY NIGHT
MEETING.
ON THE CERTAINTY OF DEATH
MsthOdIsts viii Make Strong Effort
to Bring the Next Conference of the
State to columbia-Last Session
Here in 1899.

Union services which have been
held here during the summer months
may continue until October l. The
present arrangement between the pas-
tors will expire on September 1, but
there is a probability that another
month will be added to the program.
The services have probably been more
successful and more largely attended
this summer than they have been in
several years, in fact the Sunday
morning congregations generally are
reported to be exceptionally good dur
ing the summer. This is accounted
for in part by the fact that there have
been few uncomfortably hot Sundays
this year, and again the number of
Columbians who have left the city for
the heated term is small.
Rev J. @. Molloy, who will after
Sept / assume the passionate Of the
First Presbyterian church, preached az
the union services on Sunday night at
the First Cumberland Presbyterian
church. Dr. Malloy was heard by an
audience that completely filed the au-
ditorium of the church and was listen
ed to with marked attention during the
hour of his discourse. He compliment
ed his hearers by saying that it was
hard to close sermon with such
splendid listeners and such rapt at
tention

and the Certainty of Death" His SER

ALMOST TO MAN
REPUBLICAN NOMINEE WILL GET
ALL ANTLPATTERsoN DEM
ocRATIc VOTE.
AND SOLID REPUBLICAN SUPPORT
Demonstration Of Convention at Men
tion of carmaek's Name the Most
Remarkable Ever known-Three
Minutes Great Ovation Lasted.

The nomination of Capt. Ben w.
Hooper, of Newport, as the Republi-
can candidate for Governor meets
with the heartiest approval of the In
dependent Democrats and Republicans
of Maury county. From the many ex-
pressions of opinion heard, it Is ev-
i ident that Capt. Hooper will carry the
county by larger majority than the
Independent judicial ticket received
in August. This is due to the fact
that probably not more than FIVE white
Republicans in the county will scratch
the ticket, and very few Independent
Democrats.
1t is recognized here that Capt.
Hooper is the most available candi-
date who could have been nominated.
He is Brownlow republican, and has
followed closely in the steps of the
Easy Boss" But he has also work
ed harmoniously with The slate com
mittee, controlled by the Evans-Sand-
ers faction, so that he is in fact the
choice of both factions and will be
cordially supported by both. This
makes him impregnable, and it is adj
mitted that he will come over the
mountains of East Tennessee with
the biggest majority ever given a can
didate for governor.
THE Pattersonites tried hard to
stampede the convention" said re-
turning delegate. They worked ASST
duously to promote discord, but ut
terly failed It was love feast. and
there is not the slightest doubt that
the united republican party will get

Made Through the Higher Courts.

cohol was a violation of the prohibi,
ton law, City Recorder E. E. Erwin
Tuesday afternoon found Tom McDon.
aid and w. j. Kinzer guilty and fined
them $50 and costs each.
This is said to be the first direct
test case Of the legality of the sale OF
beerette, and will be fought through
all the courts. An appeal was taken
to the Circuit Court, and it is beIiev-
ed that the trial will come up at a
special term to be held by Judge Tur-
ner in September, 1t is expected that
the Supreme Court will pass on the
question within sixty days, as City
Attorney Coffey has promised TO ex-
pedite the hearing as much as possi-
Bile.
The trial of Mcdonald and Kinzer
was begun last week, and was coatin-
ued until Tuesday in order to permit
the defense to cite certain authorities.
The contention of the defense was
that the Supreme Court had ruled
that intoxication from drinking the
wet goods must be proved in each
case, and that the city could not prove
that beerette was an intoxicant by
expert testimony alone.
The progress Of the trial in the high
er courts will be watched with inter-
est, as on its outcome will depend
the life of the beerette traffic not only
IN Maury county but elsewhere.
