PETTY, HUGHES AND HILL MAKE
THEIR REPORT TO THE couN.
~ SOLoNS.

The Maury county road conmis-
sioners report is most creditable
one, in that there seems to have been
a solving of the high cost of living
to an extent. The average cost to
feed, clothe and care for the inmates
for the quarter ending June 80 was
thirty-one and a halt cents each day.
The average cost of feeding the in
mates of the workhouse was % cents
per day, with an average number OF
81 prisoners.
The total expenditures for the quar-.
ter in the disbursement of the high.
way fund, maintenance of the work
nouse, damage for opening roads, and
all other expenses was $1,69S.92. The
only damage allowed for the opening
of a road during the quarter was to
Guy Thompson on the Mt. Pleasant
and Hampshire road, and amounted
tc $50.

Millers Enjoinino the Farmers to Be

That the wheat crop throughout the
county 10 very much endangered by
the excessive rains is being evidenc'
ed by the reports from the different
sections. In many places the shocks
have fallen down and in their extreme
moistened condition the straws hard
~ have the strength to be restacked.
The grain Is fast softening, AMI in
the steaming and wet shock is be-
ginning to sprout in some instances.
There are thousands of bushels that
have never been touched since 1t was
first placed in the shock. A great
many farmers have taken advantage
OF the oportunity to scatter and air
the binds, when the opportunity occur
red, but there has been such little
sunshine and so few days that it has
not rained or been so threatening that
none would take the chances of get
ting the grain in worse condition, that
it is indeed becoming a serious mat
ter. 4
The scarcity and high price of la
Dor has forced the farmers to put
their wheat into shocks that are weak
and not in position to withstand the
continued wet weather. The weeds
are now beginning to grow up around
the shocks, thus preventing the
ground from drying out Farmers
could some what ameliorate these
conditions by cutting these weeds and
giving the air an opportunity to cilcu
late near and around the stacks.
Millers say that by all means wheat
should be we'll dried before it is
threshed. When it is sprouting. II
it is properly dried the sprouts are
broken off If it is we'll dried and the
grain goes to the market in better
condition. The same is said about
the dirt that clings to the butts Of
the straws. II the threshing is done
when this is damp in the least the
dirt will adhere to the wheat and II
will be damaged at least five cents on
the bushel. If thoroughly dry the
Cirt will all be beaten to dust and will
he easily blown out by the fans.
Should the rains continue many
days longer it will very materially af
feet the crop, and will cause thous
ands Of dollars of loss to the farmers
OF the county.

The Walk to Be Set Out on Eighth
From Main to Garden and Put on q
Level With the Street-Provlsion
for Ground Rock.

The meeting of tho board Of mayor
and aldermen Friday. adjourned over
from Thursday night, was q rather
lengthy one, the extra time being
consumed in the discussion Of the
betterment of the condition Of the

prosecution of the violators of the
whisky laws. These ordinances were
drawn similar to the state laws apply.

and shall be So accepted unless ether

J. l.. Hutton appeared before the
board to request that the property
owners on Eighth between Main and
Garden be allowed to set out the side
walk there in line with the other
walks, which would place the walk or
level with the street and make a
much better appearance. The mat
ter was referred to the street com
mittee with power TO act, the board
favoring the request.
Mr.. Hardison also appeared before
the board representing the residents

formity to the wishes and direction
of the authorities on the east. The

request and the matter will be fur

nittee.
Chairman Akin, of the street com
mittee presented to the board thu
matter of securing ground rock fol

present contract the supply was to-
slow, and the committee was author
lied to undertake better arrange
ments.

A MISFORTUNE DEVELOPED TO
 BE A BLESSING TO COVALESKIE

fast one or 0 curve But in spite of his efforts his effectiveness was not more than one-half as great 1t had been with the Barons All through the sea- son it continued. The same state of affairs existed at the opening of the present season. The Pole was hit hard throughout. Atlanta hammered him to the four corners of the earth in his first appearance of the season, driving him from the mound. Twice more he was hammered heavily and then came his operation for minor hernia.
 The Lookout pitching staff went all to pieces ,while Cove was In the hos pita1, as Joe Boehling proved himself failure in this circuit, so the Pole really returned to the game before he was physically able. It was against the Crackers that he pitched and he won handily, holding them to one run and five hits. The result surprised the Hun himself as he didn't have the least semblance of speed. He relied almost entirely on his slow curve ball.
 Then the idea struck him that he was really putting too much stuff on all of them and not mixing them up. Smith agreed with him and suggested that he use slow ball with even frequency. Coyaleskie took the advice and he has won three out of his last four games, allowing but five hits per game in the frays he won The one battle lost was to the Barons, and this was through no fault of the Hun. His team didn't field or hit behind him and he was defeated 3 and 0.
 Smith believes that the slow battle which Harry was forced to acquire has increased his effectiveness at least 90 per cent as all the hitters of the cir cult are breaking their backs on the tantalizer after being set for a fast one.

Chattanooga, July 11.--(Speeial)- J. Misfortunes are often blessings in dis guise, so saith Harry Covaleskie. In spite of the great reputation which he achieved in 1910 with the Birmingham Barons and the little notice which he has been accorded this year the Pole is really pitching at present the best ball of his career. In 1910. with the Barons the Hun worked in 31 games. winning 21 and losing 10. with per- centage of 677 This year, up to date, he has worked in II games. winning eight and losing three, with percent age of .127. This is q grand figure. but the indicati tons are that t will be bet tered for the Hun has shown his real form only within the past three games, or since his operation.
 The operation which put Harry hors de combat for two weeks Is the mis- fortune which he refers to as a blessing in disguise. Why? Because it forced him to adopt change of pace, an ac- quisition which Manager Billy Smith now believes was all that prevented the Pole from going back to the majors, or rather remaining there is the fall of 1910.
 When Harry reported here in 1911 the club was going badly. The hurlers were losing games through no fault of their own. It happened that Cove lost his first three. and the trio of defeats were doubly bitter Is view of the fact that so much had been expected of him. The Hun became possessed of a wild desire to win and began putting everything that he had on every ball.
 He stopped using a slow one of even
 moderate degree. Everything was {
