WILLIAMS KNEW j
HILARY H0WSE
ONLY ONE ACQUAINTANCE IN
CITIES WHERE HE HI
LIVED.

The negro, Robert Williams, who
was reported Tuesday as having got
ten into a questionable horse deal
here, is in jail, awaiting the action
of the grand jury, Mr.. Rippy has his
horse and the trader who put up the
SIT boot has his cash.
At the trial before the committing
officer Williams told number of con
flicting stories as to where he was
from and where he got the animal
that caused his arrest. He said that he
had lived at Nashville, Franklin and
Mt. Pleasant. When questioned as
to who he knew at these points he
could only recall one acquaintance at
any of them.
He said he was acquainted with the
mayor of Nashville, and when asked
his name promptly answered, Hill
airy Howse," scoring the first and only
point in his favor.
The owner of the mare came Up on
the afternoon train and identified the
animal and returned home with it.

HOW TO BREED AND
FEED AND MANAGE
MULES FOR MARKET
HON. JOHN L. JONES WILL AD-
DRESS SOUTHERN CONNER
CiAL CONGRESS-.
MEETING In NASHVILLE APRIL 10
Mule Futurity Now Engaging Breed
ers and Dealers in the Volunteer
State, With Practically No Cost to
Participants in Contest.

John l.. Jones, of this city, will ad.
dress the Southern Commercial Con.
gress at Nashville on April 10 on the
subject of horse and mule breeding
The invitation to Mr.. Jones came
from George NJ Rommel, chief Of the
bureau of animal industry in the de-
partment of agriculture at Washing
ton. In speaking of the acceptance
of Mr.. Jones Monday, Mr., Rommel
said in Washington:
"He has forgotten more about
mules than most of us ever heard OF.
He is probably the country's leading
authority on the subject" Mr.. Jones
speech will deal with "The Mule
Breeding, Feeding Management and
Market Requirements"
John l.. Jones is a recognized au-
thority on mules all over the coun-
try. He is the oldest jack and mule
breeder in the country, having been
breeding jacks fifty-fohr years. He is
not the oldest man in the jack breed
ing business, but he has ben in the
business longer than any one else.
He was born in Maury county and has
lived here all of his life with the ex-
ceDtion of nine years, which time he
spent in Missouri, from 1871 to 1879.
He is the best posted man on mules
of any one in the country and is al
ways in demand at the state fairs as
a judge of the stock, and his judg-
ment is always looked on as positive
authority. Mr.. Jones is a lawyer,
but he is always much more interest
ed in the fine points of mule than
he is in the technicalities of a law
suit.
He is much interested at present
in what the mule men have seen fit
to designate the Mule Futurity. This
is an organization looking to the i'm
provement of the mules. and he Is of
the opinion that it is one of the great
est things for mule breeders that will
be devised or originated within the
next ten years. 1t is system Of prize
giving, and it is open for Tennessee
mares in three classes. First for
the product of mares of 1000 pounds
or more: mares of 1000 to 1000
pounds, and mare of under 1000
pounds. These products are divid-
ed into two classes, one for horse
mules and one for mare mules. The
State Fair Association has guaran-
teed $1,000 to the fund.
Any mare to participate in these
prize contests must be nominated by
March of this year. 1t is possible
under the arrangement of the man.
agement for one mule to take down
$160 in prize money.
There is no cost in this with the ex-
ception of 81 for nomination fee.

THE MEAN TEMPERATURE THE

The December Precipitation Has On
ly Been Exceeded Four Times In
the Past Twenty-Five Years-lrch

The meteorological observations
for the month of December in connec-
tion with comparative figures show
that the rainfall for the month was
almost record breaker, and it was
so far as the year 1911 was concern
ed.
The rainfall for the month was
1000 inches, while the total for the
year was 51.25 inches. BY months it
was January 4.52; February, 3.SS;
March, ESQ; April, $50; May, 2.S6;
June, 1926; July, 2.56; August, 6.S5;
September, 1.72; October, 2.76; No
vember, 3.O7; December, 1000. the
rainfall for the year 1910 was 37.74
inches.
The average rainfall for the State
of Tennessee is so inches, AMI for
the past ten years this has been ex-
ceeded one time, in 1906, when the
figures were 59.65, and the unusual
rainfall of the past month has been
exceeded only four times in the rast
twenty-five years.

December, 1911, 1000 inches, 10
days rain.
There are perhaps very few people
who realize or have any idea as to
the volume and weight of water that
falls on an acre of ground when a
rainfall of one inch is recorded. Ac-
cording to the weather bureau at
Washington the amount would 226,S75
pounds, or more than 113 tons, and
an inch is considered fine season.
The maximum temperature for the
month was 70 degrees on the Sth,
while the minimum was 20 degrees
on the 5th and 28th, the mean tenn
perature being 46.4 degrees. There
were only nine clear days, four part
ly clear and eighteen cloudy days.
Only We of these cloudy days failed
to produce rain. The prevailing wind
direction was west and south.
The mean temperature for the
month was greater than for the past
ten years.

new DEVELOPMENTS
IN mule TRADING
ON FIRST MONDAY
BUYERS HERE FROM EIGHT
STATES EXCLUDING TEN
NESSEE.
HERE FROM OTHER COUNTIES
Foreign Interest Has Been Spreading
During the Past Four Years on Ac-
count of the Renewed and Vigorous
Advertising of the Product.

A summing up of the matters in
connection with the mule business in
Columbia Monday brings out some
most interesting facts. One promI-
nentl mule man in speaking of the
incrsssed interest, said that the first
seed to attract the foreign buyers that
ever brought forth much fruit was
sown In 1908, when at the fair here
there were one hundred and forty
mules in one ring, when there were
also shown fifty-five two mule teams,
twenty-seven four mule teams ana
fifteen six mule teams, and to this
exhibit the Breeders Gazette devoted
an entire page.
There were here at that time a
number Of foreign buyers or men in
terested in mules, and since that time
Columbia has been growing and
spreading and receiving greater rec.
ognition as mule producing center
On that occasion there was a North
Carolina man present and acting as a
Judge in the mule rings, and he made
an offer of approximately 100000 for
the bunch of mules shown.
Monday there were buyers here
from at least eight states beside
Tennessee, including Illinois, Missis-
sippi, Florida, Oklahoma, Georgia, AL
ALBANIA, North Carolina and South
Carolina. These states had thirty
seven representatives on the scene
and it is estimated that there were
near onto thousand mules on exhi
bition and for SALE
In addition to the representatives
from other states there were per-
haps ten or twelve buyers here who
live in the state but do not live in
Maury county. Mules were here also
from Lewis, Williamson and Marshall
counties. These latter offerings we're
attracted here by the known fact
that buyers would be here from many
sections.
The prices quoted are from $135
to $500, and while there were large
number changed hands toward the
close of the day, these transfers were
distributed among several purchas-
ers, and no big deals were reported.
There was a much more satisfac1
tory feeling about the outlook in the
market toward night than there was
in the early morning, and while this
was true, a great many offers by the
buyers were refused and the farm
ers took their stock back home
