WILL TAYLOR Be ENDORSED?
Not II 1: Can Be Avoided by Some
Members of the Party-These En-.

There is much evidence of activity
among the republicans of the county
since the call of the committee for Its
meeting at the court house Monday,
at which a provision will be made for
the delegates to the state and con-
gressional cow entions, and 1t may be
that there will be some old time pep.

somewhere along the line Of march
from the court house Monday to the
conventions mentioned.
Fol instance, II there should be an
effort on the part of that faction OF
the party calling itself the stalwarts,

Tom Taylor, then those who worship
Som Taylor, then those who worship

republican convention to meet and

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE OK.
IRENE cold weather now penetrating
the cotton belt has Offset the advance
made by the Mexican boil weeyi, in
tire last five years, according to ex.
rert estimates made in the depart

ton crop will undoubtedly be larger
than expected. due to the absence of
weeyil. Planters in the cotton belt
are jubilant, the cold weather has
prevented millions of dollars loss in
the South.
During the last six weeks the South
has been experiencing the coolest

in communication by telegraph with
growers in all parts of the cotton

Hundreds of Democrats In Maury
County VIII Not Enter the Contest
Fixed For April 27-Mr. Pac9ett
Has No Statement to Make NOW.

IL the action of the democratic con-
gress.onal committee at Franklin FIJI
day was expected to promote mar
mony" in this section 1t will certain
ly be a disappointment to those re-
sponsible for the plan and who Rave
cherished this hope. For the breach,
hrs il anything been widened In the
democratic party in the county.
The unprecedented and arbitrary
action of the committee Is requiring
voters in the primary to pledge sup
port to all state nominees Is virtual
notice to the hundreds and thousands
Of independent democrats Of the dis
trict that they are not wanted in the
primary. And they will not be there.
The Herald has interviewed num-
Der of independent democrats OF the
county and ali declare that they will
not vote in the primary at all. Prac-
tically all Of these democrats are sup
porters of Mr.. Padgett and anxious
as they are for his return to con-
gress they are emphatic in stating
that they will not follow any man into
a primary where they might be re-
uuired to sacrifice all of their convic-
lions upon the great issue that con-
fronts the people Of the State.
What Mr.. Padgett will do Is not
known. He stated this morning that
ne had no statement at this time to
make, but intimated that In the near
future he would have something to
say to the people of the district. He
iis in conference with his friends OF
this county today and will doubtless
confer with those In other counties
before he makes any statement for
publication.
The situation here has been intensi-
fed II anything by the action Of the
congressional committee. Hereto
fore Augnust has been the date for
the primary in the district and the
only qualification required has been a
simple pledge to support the congress
sionai nominee. Hence the action Of
the committee Friday was not only
without precedent but in injecting
state Issues into purely national
contest, is in the judgment Of many
democrats. an unwarranted usurpa.
ton Of power and the committees
action Is therefore without binding
force

word for 1t, but he wants to be shown.
lie can be persuaded to let his boy
nave a small plot of ground to try out
che theories. The boy follows the In
structions and probably makes three
times as much corn per acre as the
father makes, and the father immedi-
ately comes TO the conclusion that
there must be something in the meth
obs used by the boy, and one trial
usually converts the most skeptical
farmer and makes him want to farm
the new way.
Much credit is due the boys Of the
south who have made for themselves
a name as corn growers, but much
credit is also due to the public spirit-
ed men companies who support and
make possible these contests by offer
ing prizes in these various contests.
The man who helps inspire some boy
to remain on the farm and become an
up-to-date farmer, or who induces
some farmer to adopt the better
methods In farming, has done pub
/ lie service that he should be proud
OF. He has not ony helped that farm
or, but he has helped the country at
large for, the more successful he
farmers, just so much better will be
business III all other lines.
It has been shown SO far by the re-
suits Of the contests held in this coun-
ty that this soil will produce, under
(! the proper treatment, 100 bushels Of
corn per acre, and over 400 bushels
Of Irish potatoes have been produced,
thirty eight bushels of soy beans, and
thirty two bushels of cow peas.
The Industrial Congress of Texas
has gone farther than any other
state to encourage the farmer to
adopt better methods. This congress
/ this year offers $4,000 in gold to the
farmers Of the state for growing cot
ton end corn. cow peas and kafir
corn.
quote just few words, showing
the purpose Of the congress in max
ing this great offer to the farmers Of
Texas: "The Texas Industrial Con-
yress makes this prize offer because
it believes that the necessity for the
conservation Of the soil and the adop-
ton Of the better cultural methods Is
SO vital to the agricultural. CONNER
cial and industrial interests Of the
state that every possible effort should
be- made to teach scientific methods
of cultivation, rotation and diversif-
cation of crops and. the maintenance
iof the soils fertility"
The writer believes that the PEG.
iple of Tennessee are as much intrst-
+, ed in the welfare of their farmers as
Texas. and will do as much for. their
education. We feel that we are es-
pectially interested in the develop
ment Of the territory adjacent to
Chattanooga, and, with this feeling.
we have instituted the Chattanooga
District Farmers contests, which we
trust we can make success, but the
success Of 1t will depend upon the in.
terest Of our business people, and
they have already shown their liber.
ality by offering valuable prizes.

-For the next eight months and
possibly longer says the Mail, 'stne

there is a. demand for freight cars
considerably in excess OF the sup

The railroads will, OF course, be
blamed for poor service at the
height of the ear congestion. The
