ENTHUSIASTIC AND
FULL ATTENDANCE
TEACHERS NEE TING
DISCUSSION OF THE COURSE
SET OUT BY THE STATE
BOARD.
SUPERINTENDENT MUCH PLEASE D
Everything Indicates a Successful
Winters Work Among the Teach
ers and They Are Manifessing
Much Interest.

The Maury County Teachers AS
ISOLATION is in session at the court
house today, and Notwithstanding the
threatening weather this morning
there is splendid attendance, about
forty teachers from the various sec
tons of the county being present and
participating.
The work of the session is Of a rou-
tine character with the exception of
the course set out by the State board,
which was discussed thoroughly first
by individuals specially studying for
the purpose and then by the associa.
ton members generally.
The full attendance today is one
of the strongest indications of the
growing school interest abroad in the
county, and is easily pointed out as
the reason for the individual utter.
est that is manifesting itself in va
rious ways regarding educational
matters. The teachers are cape BILE,
energetic and earnest in their work
and are imparting enthusiasm not
only in their pupils but in the homes
where they are teaching.
A conversation with the teachers
shows that the work throughout the
county is moving in a most satisfac-
tory way, and every indication points
to the most successful year of the
public school history of the county. ,
Prof Graham is more than pleased
with the prospects for the winter
work among the teachers, and says
the best grounds for expectations in
school results is an enthusiastic
teacher, and he further says he has
a corps of teachers that are univer-
sally enthusiastic, determined to ac-
Icomplish something and are ever
ready to make any reasonable sacri-
fee to benefit the educational inter
ests.

HOG PACKING PLANT
TO Be ERECTED At
CULLEOKA At ONCE
PRODUCE COMPANY AWARDS
CONTRACT FOR THE BUILD
ING OF HOUSE.
EXPECT TO INCREASE CAPACITY
New Industry VIII Be Located in One
of the Best Swine Sections Of the
State-To Commence on Small
Scale and Add to Plant.

Preparations are being made by the
Culleoka Produce Company of Culleo
ka to pack hogs this year. The com.
pany has already fenced lot for the
reception of hogs and this morning
the contract was awarded for the con.
struction of packing house which
will be a most convenient and com.
modious one. The house will have a
capacity of about 100 hogs but will be
so constructed that it can be added
to at any time.
1t Is not the purpose of the cOmpa
ny to pack more than 100 hogs this
year, but If the venture proves sue
cessful as it is predicted it will, ii
| is probable that next year the capaci
ty will be increased to five times that
number and ultimately a packing
house may be built that will accom-
modate 1000 hogs.
Hog packing is one of the big indus
tries of Maury county, especially In
the northwest and western sections
but so far little attention has oeen
paid to the business in the southern
portion of the county. And it would
be hard to imagine a better section
for packing. In the region around
Culleoka and from there to Marshall
county an exceptionally fine lot OF
hogs are raised. Through the efforts
Of Gracey at Mooresville and Jerre
Holt, at Culleoka, and others the
breed of hogs in that section has
been greatly improved in recent
years. Again the people there have
been fortunate in escaping cholera
among their hogs. And no part OF
the county grows finer corn crops.
Hence all these facts combine to
make it an idea lsection for hog pro-
duction and great success is predict
ed for the new undertaking of the
Culleoka Produce Company.
The packing plant at Culleoka will
in time create better market for the
hogs of that section and will materi-
ally improve the price to the raiser.
The Culleoka Produce Company is
owned by Dick and Hardy Parks two
of the most enterprising citizens OF
the county.

HOW TO ACT

QUESTION IN THE LOS ANGELES
MUNICIPAL CAMPAIGN
NOW.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Nov. g.
Complete official returns from yes.
terday's primary show the failure OF
the Socialists to capture the mayor.
atty by a majority vote.
Impartial leaders say the question
in the coming campaign that is agi-
tating all factions is What will the
women do?" There dre now appro-
ximately $4,000 women registered,
and by November 8, when registra-
ton closes for the fair sex, it Is be-
leved that 10000 will have regist-
cred.
Herculean efforts have been and
are being made by the Socialists to
enroll as many working women as
possible Socialist leaders claim 80
per cent. of these will vote for Harri-
man. Seemingly recognizing that
their only hope of offsetting the wo-
men labor vote lies in the registra-
ton of women in the residential dis
tricts, the Good Government forces
have sworn in hundreds of deputies,
wro will at once begin a house-to-
house canvass.

There were a number of out of
town dealers in mules here today not
for the purpose of buying but as on
lockers, posting themselves as to
what in going on at what is growing
to be regarded as one of the greatest
mule markets in the country. One
extensive buyer who travels all over
the South was among those here and
said that he was just in receipt of a
letter from South Carolina asking
him to come there and make his pur-
chases, stating that the price was off
from SIS to $40 per head and that the
same conditions existed in Georgia.
That cotton is king was in way
manifested here today in the number
of mules offered on the market and
the smaller number of sales. First
Monday is always hailed as mule
day, but there were but few charged
hands during the day. And dealers
say that even though the price Of cot
ton should advance that it is now SO
late that it will hardly affect the price
of mules before spring. if then.
AS result of these conditions mule
dealers are saying and doing but lit

DONE both the seller and the ouyer
being about ready to await develop
ments later on.

For a long time | have recognized
the need of the county demonstration
farm to bring the work of the expert
ment station to the small farmer in
a way that he could get the most
benefit from the result of the work
of original investigation conducted
by the experiment stations.
We have progressive farmers all
over the State, who keep in touch
with the stations, who adopt. modern
methods; and we see their land grow
ing better each year; we see their
farm animals improved we see their
acreage production of crops increas
ed. While on the other hand we
have the greater number of our fart
ers who are simply drifting along in a

Their method of cultivation; taxing
croDs off their soil year after year;
sapping it's fertility; allowing their
banyard manure to go to waste. re
turning no plant food to the soil;
making a rretense at cultivating a
crop with the least possible amount
of labor. Such a system OF farming
can result only in one way; the acre
age production with such farmers
prs will decrease each year, and will
counteract the increased production OF
the progressive farmers, and the re
suit is that Tennessee as a whole
shows very little increase in the fcre
age production of some crops, and in
some cases a falling off.

farmer produces, We would be able to
show some marvellous increases in
acreage production of crops in Ten
nessee.
To make this farm most effective
for the farmers to be benefited, it
should be typical of the average
farms of the county, not rich farm,
because one of the important lessons
to be taught is improvement of the
soil, and at the same time get a prof
it off the farm. The farm should be
equipped as the farmers could equip
their farms, In selecting crops to be
grown care should be exercised to
grow crops best adapted to the soil,
and local conditions, and that would
find a good market. In conducting a
farm | would show the farmers Row
they could improve the mechanical
conditions of the soil, and store up
moisture for growing crops by deep
tillage, and turning under vegetable
matter, and how they could improve
their land by growing leguminous
crops and proper rotation. I would
teach them thorough preparation and
cultivation; how to harvest and mar
ket their crops how to avoid waste Of
time-one of the greatest sins of the
average farmer | would encourage
him how to keep a record of his work
and crops, so that when crop was
made he would know it's cost and the
profit from it's production. l would
teach the farmer how to select seeds;
how to prepare rations for his ami
mails to get the best results. All this
would be done by the practical opera
lions conducted on the demonstration
farm. 1t should be owned by the
county, SO that every farmer in the
county would feel that it was our
farm" and that they had a right to
go there and watch the work and ask
questions.
When the farmers found that a
farm similar to thir own, equipped as
they could equip theirs, and the work
done was along lines that they could
follow, was being improved and was
producing better crops than they
were producing, their personal pride
would be touched, and in a short time
they would get to thinking and trying
to improve their own farm along the
same line.
Now, the important question is how
to get the county demonstration farm.
The United States Department of
Agriculture, recognizing the neei OF
this character of work, has put into
the several States men to conduct
farm demonstration work among the
farmers. Their plan is to get farm
ers to cultivate a certain amount OF
ground, with a certain crop, under
their direction, and they are accom-
plishing great results, and in every
case where their instructions are fol-
lowed they get increased production.
Their plan is a good one, but the field
is so large and their force small and
they only cover certain features.
My plan is to cooperate with them
by getting each county to furnish a
farm. and instead of having several
farmers cultivating small areas, have
one central farm where the fork will
be continuous: where building up soil
fertility can be practiced where all
the farmers will naturally be interest
ed where the results would influence
greater number and more cdmpre-
hensive in their character.

Getting First Hand Facts.

Sixty of the Democratic members
of the House of representatives are
utilizing the holiday recess to make
a first hand study of conditions in
the Panama canal zona. Inasmuch as
the canal is eating up government
money at the rate of several thous-
ands of dollars a day the Democrats
hold that it is their duty to see, per-
sonally, that this money is being
wisely and properly spent. The ques-
ton of fortifying the canal will come
up soon, ard as this will mean a
large additional expenditure, the
Democrats propose to know just why
and where this money is to be ex-
pended. Hence they are taking ad-
vantage of the temporary l2tup in af-
fairs at Washington to investigate
Speaker Clark has urged all the
Democrats to visit the canal zone at
some time, and practically all of
them propose to follow his advice.
This is in line with the announced
Democratic program TO get to the
bottom of every proposition which
calls for an expenditure of govern
ment money.

Ssekina A Way Out.

That the men who control the big
industrial corporations of the coun-
try are convinced that the people are
determined to break up these mono
poles, and that they are seeking a
way to escape this mandate of the
people, are among the more i'm
portant facts brought out by the Sen
ate Trust Investigating committee.
Louis d. Brandeis, the noted Bos-
ton lawyer, told the committee that
the statements of Mr.. Gary and Mr..
Perkins that the trusts were willing
to accept a price fixing law, were
only apparent concessions. What the
magnates want Mr.. Brandeis said.
is the passage of the Aldrich none
tary scheme, which will insure the
continuance of a centralized control
OF money and credit. on which all
business depends. These magnates,
the lawyer testified, are bending
every effort to gain the enactment
OF the Aldrich plan into law, and one
OF their methods, he said, was to
blind the people to their real pur-
pose by making them believe the
trusts are willing to surrender.

Why Teddy Was Doomed.

The Roosevelt denomination talk,
which was more pronounced during
the recent meeting of the Republi-
can national committee than at any
time since the former presidents re-
turn from Africa, has died down
again. And now comes the report
that this talk was started by the old
guard leaders among the committee
men fer the purpose of frightening
Mr.. Taft into allowing them to have
control of the pre.iminaries of the
next Republican convention in Chi
cago. This control means big ad-
vantage to those who possess It, for
with 1t goes the authority to dictate
seating arrangements, admissions, dis
tribution Of patronage and committee
assignments; in short, 1t means con-
troll of the convention right up to
the time of balloting.
The Roosevelt talk, according to
the best information, did not spring
from the friends of the former pres
ident but from his enemies. The plan
was. by starting this talk, to discon-
cert and divide the Insurgents. Then,
with Mr. Taft deserted, by all except
the southern postmaster delegates,
deadlock could be forced, which
could be broken at the proper time in
favor of compromise candidate nc.
ceptable to the old guard leaders.
As a result of these Vaccinations
1t has been stated. apparently with
some show OF authority, that Mr.
Taft is SO disgusted with conditions
within his party. that he may with
draw from the race entirely.
