IMMENSE NUMBER
HOGS BUTCHERED
IN MAURY COUNTY
WEATHER FOR THE PAST WEEK
HAS BEEN EXCEPTIONAL
ALLY GOOD.
LITTLE MEAT WILL BE LOST
Packing Industry of the Maury coun-
ty Has Grown to Be One of the
Biggest Businesses of This Section.
High Corn.-Low Hogs

Due in part to the low price of hogs
and also to the past profits that have
been derived from the business the
meat packing business of Maury
county this year will be perhaps the
largest that the country has ever
known. There are a large number
Iof packers in the county who are put
ting up from 100 hogs and upwards.
The fine weather of the past week
constituting one of the best periods
Of hog killing weather for the time
of year ever known has been taken
advantage of by many farmers and
packers and it is estimated that dur
ing the week, taking the county over
there were not less than 5000 hogs
killed. Hardy Shelley, Milt Allen
and John Adkisson, all of the Santa
Fe section, made big killings the ag-
gregate number slaughtered by the
three footing up to nearly 1000.
The meat packing industry Of the
county is big one and several small
fortunes have been made by packers
during recent years. This year the
farmers have been hesitating about
feeding SO corn to less than six cent
hogs and for that reason have been
anxious to get rid of their porkers
early in the season. 1t is generally
believed, however, that the price of
hogs will go up. 1t is a most unusu-
al situation to have corn high and
hogs low, the prices generally bear
some relation to each other How
ever, two years ago hogs were high
and corn was low
1t is the unanimous concensus of
opinion among the farmers that the
weather for the past week has been
he best hog killing spell they nave
known in years, and very little if
any, Of the meat sailed is expected

LARGE ATTENDANCE AT CAPITOL

BY Great Majority of the People,
Seven Lawyers to Examine Power
OF Chief Executive Over Officials.


OF Chief Executive Over Officials
At the conference of temperance
advocates held Thursday in the sen
ate chamber at the state capitol pur-
suant to the call of Governor Hooper
campaign committee of eleven
members, one from each congress
siOnal district and one from the state
at large, was appointed to keep burn
ing the fires Of law enforcement in
Tennessee.
The conference also by resolution
provided fOr the naming of a commit
tee Of seven, to be composed of able
attorneys and jurists, who snail de-
termine what authority the governor
now has for the enforcement of laws
nullified in practical effect by the
connivance of local officials, and to
suggest needed legislation. This
committee will report to the commit
tee of eleven. who shall give its ind
ings to the public press or shall sub
nit them to a conference to be called
at a later date.
The conference was attended by
three hundred delegates from every
section of the state and was in every
way marked success. The meeting
was an evidence that there has been
no change of sentiment over the state
in regard to the perpetuation of the
present prohibition laws, and declar-
ed that no backward steps" would be
tolerated
Called to order at $3.50 o'clock, the
convention soon got down to bust,
ness by the selection of Governor
Hooper as chairman and Prof r. G.
PEBBLES, of Franklin, as secretary.
1t was nearly O'Clock in the after
noon when final adjournment was
taken Even the Thanksgiving at
fractions Of the city could not draw
the delegates from the state house,
and both morning and afternoon the
senate chamber was crowded
A few ladies', including Mrs, Silena
M. Holman, state president of the
w. c. T. o.. were present.
The only inharmonious note occur
red late in the afternoon, when a dele
gate wearing red badge, and un-
known to the chair, arose and made
a motion that the conference endorse
the temperance and election laws. He
prefaced his remarks by declaring
that he was opposed to whipping the
devil around the stump and insisted
that his resolution be put to a vote.
Although the conference was largely
in sympathy with the delegates
views, it was thought inexpedient to
endorse the election laws, in order
to remove all political tinge from the
gathering.

If one looks carefully over the press
clippings that come in upon the ques-
ton of good roads, he will be aston.
ished at several things
First, the widespread interest that
is taken in the subject. Better high
ways are being discussed everywhere
in the shop, store, the school, at
the cross roads, women's clubs, grain
exchanges, boards of trade, railway
meetings, etc. The advocates of good
roads are as thick as humble bees in
a clover patch. All sorts Of solutions
are offered, most of which are imprac-
ticable, and if undertaken would be
simply waste of time and money. 1t
reminds one Of the remark of a philos-
opher, who, after listening to young
lady OF voluble conversation, said:
What a relief it would be if she would
stop talking for little while and do
some thinking"
There are disciples without number
who feel they are called to preach the
gospel Of good roads. They know lit

One enthusiast, who has been much

they can get good roads without

The good roads question is tre-

writer has spent Is years digging into
1t from every angle and he feels that
there Is yet much to learn. Some good
roads enthusiasts have proposed the
building of great national highways

states, or a. great trans-continental
roadway from Boston to San Francis
