THROWN OUT OF
RUNNING BUGGY
MOBILE RUNS AWAY FROM
STABLE.

Frightened by an automobile driv-
en- by Clarence Fry, the horse which
was driven by Mrs. Ed Lamar Satur-
day afternoon ran away and threw
Mrs. Lamar and two small children
from the buggy. Mrs. Lamar was Sc
riously, though not fatally, injured
about the head and face when she
struck the ground.
Mrs. Lamar had just entered the
buggy at Mr.. Lamar's livery stable
near the depot, and was accompanied
by the two children. The automobile
was being driven rapidly along the
street, and the horse became fright
ened at the exhaust. He turned
around and ran down toward Garden
street, where he was caught. The
buggy was torn up. Mrs. Lamar was
thrown to the street, where her head
struck the ground. The children
were not injured. Mrs. Lamar was
taken at once to her home and medi-
cal attention was summoned. The
latest reports are to the effect that
her condition is much improved.

Gov. Ben w. Hooper and about City
members of the Legislature and a
number of others are the guests OF
the people of Columbia today and
they all received a cordial reception
Every attention and courtesy was
paid to the guests. No one could
reasonably find fault with the recep-
ton which they received.
There was no demonstration OF any
kind when the party arrived at the
station, but every one was made to
feel at home by the reception COM

IN the party was hardly up to expecta-

about what had been expected, the
places of the legislators being taken
by ladies' and friends from Nashville.

NeIy in the wake of the S:25 train
and reached Columbia at 9:55 o'clock.
The train had FIVE coaches and though
Only about fifty of the members OF

RENDERED THE STATE
SUPERINTENDENT TO
PROF. VIM. HUGHES
GOV. HOOPER WOULD HAVE CON-
FERRED HIGH HONOR ON
MAURY CoUNTlAN.
But THE OFFICE WAS LECLINED
Trustees of the Spring Hill School,
It is Said Were Reluctant To Part
With Services of Eminent Educator
Even For Two Years.

Gov. Hooper was anxious to confer
a high honor upon Maury countian.
He rendered the Office Of State Super
intendent of Public instruction to
Prof. William Hughes, the eminent
Spring Hill educator, but the place
was declined. The Governor insisted
that Prof. Hughes enter his cabinet
and the latter was willing and an
xious to do so but 1t Is understood
that the Trustees of the school at
Spring Hill were not willing to part
with him and for that reason he ANAL
ly declined.
A better appointment could hardly
have been made for Prof. Hughes is
one Of the ablest educators in the
State. The Branham & Hughes school
is recognized far and wide as one of
the best preparatory schools in the
South. 1t is therefore easy to under
stand why the Trustees of the school
were reluctant to let Mr.. Hughes go
even for two years to accept the
high Office Of State Superintendent,
perhaps the most important Office in
the while scheme of government.
Gov. Hooper has a very warm place
in his heart for the people of Maury
county, and he would have been graf
flied to have given this high office to
a Maury countian. Not only that, he
has sought in filling the Offices, to
name the ablest men available. OF
course, Prof. Hughes politics are all
right, being an ardent Independent
Democrat but it was the qualifications
Of the Spring Hill teacher that
brought first consideration from the
Governor.
