Miss Witherspoon. While coming
down Alexander's hill, at Water VAL

horse. Josh Pigg and little Miss
Witherspoon, a child about fourteen
years of age, who also occupied the
buggy, jumped and we're unhurt. Miss
Matte Witherspoon was thrown out
and badly injured. She was picked
up and carried to the residence of r.
P. Pigg, where DR.. Walker, of Santa

ADMITS
USING DYNAMITE
SAYS THAT HE WAS WAITING FOR
TRAIN TO PASS AND HELD
ON TOO LONG.

Jerry Foster, the negro whose hand
was blown off by dynamite while at
tempting to kill fish in Rutherford
creek has confessed that he used the
high explosive, according to the state
ment of Deputy Game Warden Mat
theirs Gordon, who has just returned
from the county, where he tentatively
placed Foster under arrest for violat-
ing the game laws. According to the
statement made to the officer, Jerry
assayed forth with his gun to do a
mornings hunting. His feet led him
beside the swift waters and some fine
carp led him into temptation. Taking
a stick Of dynamite from his pocket
he lighted the fuse and held the explo-
sive in his hand, intending to throw
whe nan approaching train passed, 80
that the big noise that might follow
would be swallowed up by the roar OF
he train. He had misjudged the speed
II the train and was compelled to hold
he dynamite just little too long.
As a consequence he hasn't yet been
Ible to fnd his hand.

MCDONALD IS GIVEN
LIMIT OF THE LAW
BY RECORDER ERWIN
FOUND GUILTY OF VIOLATING
THE PROHIBITION LAWS OF
D.. COLUMBIA.
LIQUOR LICENSE IS PASSED UPON
Held to be Prima Faeie Evidence.
Certified Copy Sufficient Proof Of
Government Permit Being Taken
out-AppeaI to Higher Court.

Tom Mcdonald, charged with violat-
ing the prohibition law, was fined
$4,000 and costs by City Recorder E.
e. Erwin in police court Tuesday the
fine being the heaviest that the court
can assess. Mr.. Mcdonald appealed
to the Circuit Court.
In finding Mr.. Mcdonald guilty
Judge Erwin overruled the contention
of attorneys for the defense that a
certified copy of liquor license can
not be introduced as evidence in a
court Of law R. S. Hopkins, attorney
for the defense, contended that only
the revenue collector or deputy from
his office could testify to the issuance
Of a license to sell liquors, the inter-
nal revenue collectors Office not being
an Office of record. In overruling this
contention Judge Erwin cited the State
law which STIMULATES that certified
copy is legal evidence Judge Erwin
also held that the act of the legisla-
ture requiring attorney generals to
present such certified copies for the
inspection of the grand jury was mere
ly to define the duties of the attorney
general and had no bearing on the
present case. The court further held
that the possession of the liquor IL
cense by Mr. Mcdonald, together with
the circumstance Of his having beer in
his possession and his having sold beer
cite at two different prices was prima |
facie evidence well backed up by cir
cumstantial evidence.
The case was tried last week but !
owing to the absence from the city of
Attorney R. S. Hopkins the decision
was reserved until authorities could
be submitted

NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 90
The positive statement was made by
close friends of Gov. Patterson this
morning that he would be candi-
date for Governor and would announce
himself shortly after the State Com
mittee acts. Some friends stated this
morning that the pressure upon the
Governor was too strong for him to re-
sist; that he could not get out Of re-
spending to the demands of his friends
who had so Loyalty supported him in
his past two campaigns for the high
Office which he now holds. 1t was ru-
mored this morning that the Governor
might announce today, but the proba-
bility of this was denied by close
friends, who stated they did not be-
lieve that he would announce until
after the committee acts.

recommended:


port of the committee will be adopted,
as 1t is the custom Of the court to &C
cept the unanimous recommendation
of the committee which it names But
in all probability there will be fight
on the educational levy, as it is under
stood that Judge Gordon and one or
two of the magistrates will oppose an
increase in taxation for educational
purposes. In order to kill the school
levy it is said that free turn pixies
may be advocated or some other meas
ure calculated to cloud the issue. How
ever, the sentiment of the county is
so strongly turned toward better pub
lie schools, with longer terms, that
it is believed that all such efforts will
be futile
The committees report recommends
an increase of four mills in the levy
for elementary schools and imposes
a levy of three mills for high school
purposes. So skillfully, however,
has the levy been re-arranged that the
total increase for all purposes is but
five mills, which still leaves Maury
county almost at the bottom of the
list of ninety-six counties so far as
aggregate taxation is concerned.
In increasing the levy for elemental
ry schools the committee acted upon
the recommendation of County Super
ntendent Graham, who strongly advo-
Gated free elementary school terms of
eight months. instead of six and one
half months as at present. 1t is esti-
mated that by this slight raise in
he tax rate the elementary schools
IAN be kept open for an additional one
md one-half months in the year. thus
diving to the youth of Maury county
plendid opportunities for obtaining an
education without loss of time conse-
uent upon short terms.
The three mill levy for high school
imposes will not only keep open to
very pupil OF the county the splendid
Ugh school already established, but
ill enable the county to secure its
70 rata of the State high school fund,
to about $1,000 annually,
nd to also employ an additional teach I
r. The high school now has ninety I
upils from the county, none Of whom Il

lat next year the attendance will be a

pecially of the Christian women, who
could minister to the inmates.
Regarding the contention that the
unfortunates were as well cared for
as the poor generally, Dr. Mack said
that the burden was upon the con-
sciences of the public. IF an old
man out on the hills is poorly cared
for that is his own concern. He lives
under his own standard. But when
the public takes that man under its
protection it owes him just such treat
ment as it would itself expect. The
only standard that we can apply is the
Golden Rule"
Dr. Mack pointed out that the ex-
penditure of any considerable sum of
money for the Improvement of the in
stitution would be practically thrown
away, as with succeeding years other
investigations would be demanded
real conditions would not be improv-
ed. He appealed to the committee
not to report on existing conditions"
which he said had no doubt been i'm
proved, but to assume the authority
which the resolution had been presum-
ed to give; to make investigations of
