Says the Greenwood Journal: eve
have seen noble animals rushed and
driven in the heat when there was no
sense in it. And we have seen a
brute, in the shape of man, beating
the helpless animal numerically. He
deserved just what he was giving the
animal and more" The Greenwood
Journal is right. The press and pull

sentiment in, this matter. Why don't
people act? Why doesn't somebody do
something?

An INTERESTING SESSION
w. 8. Turner Resigns as Member Of

uers Appears for the Retiring Trus-

By the vote of thirteen to six. the
Quarterly Court Of Maury county Mon.
day refused to appropriate $4,000 for
the maintenance of the Tennessee Or
phans' Home. The vote followed a
stiff fight, in which the majority re-
port of committee appointed ar the
last meeting of the court was voted
down, and the minority report adopt
ed. The following magistrates voted
for the. appropriation: Hunter, Den
ton, Fariss, Guest, Hayes, Erwin. The
following magistrates voted against
the appropriation Church, Stephen
son, Peay, Holt, Ballanfant, VOORHEES,,
Lowell, Ricketts,, Ross, Jackson,
Brooks, Taylor, Mcknight.
Shortly after the Quarterly Court
met in adjourned session on Monday
morning, Elder W. T. Boaz, Superfn-
tendent of the Tennessee Orphans
Home, entered the court room accom-
panied by sixteen orphans, inmates of
the local institution. The orphans
we're neatly dressed, their appearance
eliciting the most favorable comment. !
The motherless and fatherless chill !
dren were assigned the front row OF
seats just back of the railing.
1t was nearly IL O'Clock when the
committee reported. The majority re-
uort was submitted by Esq. e. T. Err

propriate $1,000 for the use of thu or
phanage and that $50 year be allow
ed for the maintenance of each in
mate. The resolution also provided
that F. c. Sowell recind the last
clause of his deed, which referred to
the use of instrumental music.
In speaking for the resolution Judge :
Erwin stated that he did so as finan-
cial proposition. The county now pays
$100 per year for the maintenance of
boys and girls at the Tennessee Indus
trial School, and that as there we're al 7
ready seven county charges in the Or =
phans' Home, and a probability that :
The number would be largely increas- :

would more than justify the appro- =

down the claims of the trustee, coun

H. P. Figuers, representing Elem
Thomas and Attorney Gener-
al Job Garner, representing
Judge w. o. Gordon, spoke in
the interests of their clients, and Esqs.
Church and Hayes represented the OPP
position.
The claims are due to the passage
of an act by the Legislature authoriz-
ing the refunding of the county debt.
Bonds in the sum of $4,000 we're
sold by committee composed of the
county judge, county court clerk and
county trustee. 1t was afterwards
found that the law did not permit the
appropriation Of funds for the payment
of these officials for the extra work
done, and in 1909 the representatives
of this county, upon the petition of a
large number of magistrates, secured |
the enaction of a bill authorizing the |
county court to pay the refunding |
board for selling the bonds The law
also provided that the court could
compensate the trustee for disbursing
the money

Trustee Thomas that the additional

chase of the Sowell Mill pike. He
stated that this pike was about three
miles in length, and that back Of it
there we're a large number of county

pike could be purchased for $4,000, he
thought, and the gate that exacted
such heavy toll from the poor could
