MAGNITUDE TURKEY
INDUSTRY IN COUNTY
SHOWN IN CONTEST
MANY FARMERS WIVES RAISED
MORE THAN FIFTY OF THE
BIRDS PAST SEASON.
MRS. WILL ENGLISH CHAMPION

Cross Bridges Woman Took first
Prize in the Contest Instituted by
Anderson Bros. & Foster, Having
Grown Ninety-Nine National Birds.
That the turkey raising industry is
one of the biggest side lines among
the farmers and especially the farm-
er's wives of Maury county was fully
demonstrated in the turkey money
contest recently closed by Anderson
Bros. & Foster, the enterprising de-
partment firm of this city. The large
scale upon which these popular birds
are grown In the county will doubt
less be surprise to many. The
farmers wives raise practically all
the turkeys. an industry that is
worth at least $4,000 year to the
county.
Mrs. Will English, OF Cross Eridg-
|.es, Is the champion turkey grower OF
the county, having raised no less
than ninety-nine of the national
birds. She won the $40 hat offered
by Anderson Bros. & Foster for the
lady reporting the largest number.
Mrs. Joe E. Cheek, Of the Glendale
section, in the fifth district, was the
winner of the second prize, $3.50
ladies' hat. She raised the handsome
total Of ninety-seven turkeys.
Mrs. Hattie Graves, Of Culleoka.
was not very far behind the others,
having raised no less than eighty
three turkeys Mrs. N. P. Cheek,
| also Of the fifth district, had seventy
nine to report, and Mrs. Pattie Jones,
in the same portion OF the county,
had the good fortune to raise sixty
| Mrs. G. T. Curry, of Carriers
| Creek, had sixty-seven to report
| Turkeys at the Thanksgiving mar
ket averaged more than So each to
the farmers of the county This
means that the prize winner had near
ly if not quite 5000 to add to the FAM
lily purse as her contribution from the
turkey to say nothing of the large
number of yellow legged chickens,
the eggs and the butter that were
contributed.
There were large number of 9TH
ers in the contest who reported
around fifty birds each, showing that
they had contributed from this one
item alone close to hundred dollars
for the family exchequer.

FORTY INDICTMENTS
GR|ST OF THE JURY
TO TUESDAY MORNING
THREE OF THESE FOR MURDER,
OTHERS OF LIKE CHARACTER
FOR CONSIDERATION
BOUND over CASES NUMEROUS
Woman Shot Since Court Began Dies
at Harlan Mines, and Barn Burning
at Carriers Creek May Be Investi-
gated During the Week.
tuesdays Daily.)

Up to the present (Tuesday morn
ing) the grand jury has reported
thirty-nine indictments. OF these
three are for murder in the first de-
gree, six for assault with attempt to
commit murder in the first degree,
one of which has been ordered to the
Juvenile court, one for fraudulent
breach OF trust, one for violation OF
the pure food laws, four for larceny
four for assault and battery, fifteen
for carrying weapons and five for sell
ing liquor without license.
The most noticeable feature Of this
report is the small number of indict.
ments for the last offense. The jury
however, Is still in session and will
continue through the week, and what
their report will be at the time OF ad.
journment is only problematical.
There were more than sixty cases
bound over for the consideration Of
the JURY WHICH, ~ MCt' az ehS eAAA~
of the last report only forty OF these
had had final consideration, and in
vestigations were pending in more
than twenty cases, the larger number
being OF those sent up from the jus
tices courts.
When the final report comes it may
contain large addition to the viola
tions of the temperance laws.
The woman who was shot at Har
Ian mines died, and it is expected that
an indictment will be returned In this
case for murder. The man who die
the shooting made his escape into AL
ALBANIA and has not been apprehend
ed.
There are two or three other homi
cides that have not been reported on
and indictments are also expected II
these cases, while it may be that the
case of the negro charged with the
burning Of the barn of E. T. Stacy al
Carriers Creek Saturday night will bt
investigated and action taken.

Every one has heard Of the theat-
rical property room-the place where
storied artifcialities are laid carefully
away to be ready for the call of the
next emergency. But few persons
know that every big store has its
property room, too. andath its won
ders are even more eitrancing than
those of the funny cupboards black

The shops property room is filed
with articles used for window display
and special decorations, and, while the
theatrical property Is largely imita-
ton, the stores property is real.
Rare old tapestries are laid away In
the dim hidden chamber, to be used
when occasion requires as back
grounds for Paris hats in the Broad
way or Fifth avenue windows, as
draperies hung beside choice collec-
ton of new hand bags or slippers or
fans. Priceless vases from Italy,
strange carved chests, wonderful
screens-all these lend enchantment to

Rate of Sixty Miles an Hour,

IN Hard Infield Hits They Go at the
Rate Of Sixty Miles an Hour.
Ask any fan how fast an average
grounder travels during it's first hun
bred feet from the bat. and his answer
will be anywhere from 20 to 200
miles an hour. Split second watches
and careful timing of many ground
balls have established the fact that
the average speed of many ground
balls-that is, those struck by the bat
of the batsman from a fair pitched
ball, which strike the infield before
they land in q fielder's hands-go at
the rate of almost sixty miles an hour.
Sixty miles an hour is lightweight
feet per second. The bases are ninety
feet apart. A man who can ruin 100
yards in eleven seconds, which is
fast running for any one, but particu-
larly so for man with baseball shoes
and uniform on, can run ninety feet in
33 seconds. Is it any wonder that a
ball which is fielded in its first 100 feet
of travel usually reaches first base
Just fraction of a second before or
after the runner sets foot upon 1t?
Every fan knows that the many close
decisions at first base form one of the
destinations of the game. The speed
of a batted ball, the speed at which a
fielder can travel from his position to
the point where he can meet and field
the batted ball, the speed with which
he can stop the ball, pick it up, set
himself for the throw, make the throw,
the speed of the ball across the dia
mond from his throw and the speed
