SHELTEREDUNDERTHE
SAME ROOF FOR
NEARLY A CENTURY
w. T. ALTMAN HAS LIVED IN HIS
HOUSE FOR MORE THAN
ElGHTY-oNE YEARS.
LANDS IN FAMILY SINCE 1906
Venerable Citizen Of Match Section
Only Survivor of the 14O Who vot-
ed In Maury County for Abe Lin
coin in 1864-Always Republican.

A resident of the same house for
sishty.one years, living on the lands
owned by himself and father for one
hundred and six years. That is the
record of w. T. Altman, a resident of
Maury county. And it is a record
that cannot be duplicated by any 9TH
or preson within all the confines OF
the county.
Mr.. Altman lives ten miles east of
columbia on the Bear creek pike and
near Match. He has lived in the
house in which he was born in 1881,
eighty-one years ago. The house was
bnllt in 1925 by Mr.. Allman's father,
the late Hezehiah Altman, on lands
that he purchased from Samuel Polk,
father Of James Knox Polk of this
county and president OF the United
States from 1S45 to 1S49.
There is probably not another tract
Of land in Maury county to which no
deed or other imminent of title has
been given in more than century.
Not since the transfer from Polk to
Altman in 1906 has there been a deed
registered to this property. The old
deed, (now the property of Mr. ALL
man) is one Of the old time sort,
written on heavy parchment paper
and is an "Indenture." 1t has the
private seal of the grantor, an essen
tial to a deed in those old days.
Mr.. Altman is the only man now
living in Maury county who voted
for Abraham Lincoln in 1864, when
the martyred president was elected
for second term. There were just
140 votes cast in the county in the
election, all of them for Lincoln.
Since that time Mr. Altman has voted
for every republican candidate for
president
AT the time of the election in 1864
the state was under, military control,
Andrew Johnson being the governor,
as he was also the candidate on the
Lincoln ticket for vice president.
Only one ballot box was opened in
the county and that was in the old
court house.
The house in which Mr.. Altman
lives, admittedly one of the oldest in
this part of the state, is made of logs
which were whip shaved, there being
10 saw mills in that day.
1t is an interesting fact that Mr..
Altman was member of the first
jury to serve in Maury county after
the courts were re-organized at the
close of the great war between the
states The foreman Of the jury was
Geo. Iipscomb and Mr.. Altman Is the
only one of the twelve men "house-
holders or freeholders, good men and
true" who still abides on this side of
the great river.

NEW PIPE ORGAN
ST. T.PETER'SCHURCH
SPLENDID INSTRUMENT WILL
BE READY FOR THE EASTER
SUNDAY SERVICES.

Members who attend Easter SER
vices at st. Peters Episcopal church
will hear the notes of the splendid
new pipe organ recently purchased
by the church. The organ arrived
last night and it will take about
twelve days or two weeks to install
it so that everything will be ready
for Easter services. The organ is a
very handsome one; it has two full
keyboards and is one of the finest
makes. The organ will be placed
where the old organ sits although it
is a little larger than the old one.
While all of the members of the
church are of course much gratified
over the arrival of the organ no one
is more pleased than Miss Camille
Herndon, the accomplished organist,
to whose untiring efforts much of the
credit for the success of the move
ment to get new organ, is due.

Be Allowed to Vote.

NASHVILLE, Mar. 20.-The Yer
trees primary board met Tuesday al
Nashville and adopted rules and reg
ulations governing the Maybug pri
mary, announcing that aspirants fol
the various Offices will be assessed
in sums ranging from $3.50 to $500
Candidates for governor and United
State senator will pay $500 each fol
the honor of running, while candi
dates for secretary of state, comp
troller and treasurer will be allowed
to contribute 5000 each. Candidates
for railroad commissioner are lei
down with tax Of $3.50.
The sum total, it Is believed will
not defray the expenses of the prima
ry, as the paucity of candidates will
necessarily reduce the expected rev
enues AS the plan provides that
the names Of election officers shall
be published in county newspapers
this item alone will approximate
$1,00c Other expenses will run the
total account into high figures.
The plan provides that on June
the primary board shall meet in Nash
vile and canvass the returns. II
makes no provisions for publishing
the vote cast, after the counting IL
done-a feature that will occasion
some comment, in the face Of the &C
|tion Of the official canvassers in the
Junebug primary in 1910.
All democrats without regard tc
past party affiliation, except the col

HAMP HARRISON IS
SHOT FROM AMBUSH
WHILE AT HIS HOME
SHOTGUN AND PISTOL BOTH
USED IN ATTEMPT TO AS
SASSlNATE.
SHOOTING OCCURS AFTER DARK
Began While He Was In The Yard
and Continued After He Got In the
House-Deputy Sheriff Gone to the
Scene and Arrests May Follow.

What was very apparently an at
tempt to assassinate Hamp Hardison
at his home near Leftwich Bridge
Tuesday night about o'clock, re
suited in failure, although Mr.. Har
olson was seriously shot.
There were five shots fired, two
from shotgun and three from pis
tol, but only the shotgun charge tool
effect. The shot were of No. size
and lodged in the face and shoulder
of the intended victim of assassina
tion.
Mr. Hardison, who Is son of JohI
]. Hardison, was in the yard at his
nome shortly after dark with his
wife where she was looking eftel
some soap that had been in the course
Of making during the day. Deciding
to leave the vessel in the yard fol
tine soap t. cool, she went into the
house and he remained to put III
some hogs. After doing this he turn
ed to go into the house when he heard
some one say very distinctly
Shoot" Thinking it some of his
friends who were playing practical
joke on him he turned to see If ht
could locate the speaker. 1mmedi
ately the parties opened fire, first
with shot gun, and then with pis
tol. He was struck in the face with
bird shot, about twenty-five entering
his face and shoulder. There were
Eve shots in all, two Of those from 8
pistol being made after he had en-
tered the hall.
From tho direction Of the shots
the voices heard and the number oi
shots, Mr.. Hardison IS confident thai
! there were two if not more engaged
in the shooting, and the continued
firing also indicates determination
to get him, but they failed.
At first it was thought that his
wounds were of very serious nature
and DR.. Baxter was called, and this
morning the doctor gives it as his
opinion that the size of the shot
they feing small, probably saved the
mans life.
Deputy Sheriff Willis White went
out to the scene early this morning
to investigate, and if possible locate
the attempted assassins. 1t was al
first thought bloodhounds would be
sent for, but this idea was abandon
ed, and the officer may make some
arrests without the aid of the dogs.

The progress Of the renumbering
Of the town is Of satisfactory ma
ture and soon there will be another

partment is also working on a census
Of the delivery limits, which viii
show Just where Columbia stands in
The matter of population. The pos
tai census does not confine itself to
the corporate limits, and really
shows more of what properly belongs
to the population OF the city than the
federal census. Particularly is this
true of the western portion of the
city, the line running through a popu-
lous section, and would never be sus-
pected by those who do not know
where 1t Is located.

Recently, Virginia judge, in de-
Gliding that the law allowed the grant
ing of liquor license to the State
Fair Association, went out of his way
to say that he found the open sale of
intoxicants, with high license and
strict enforcement of law and order,
the best solution of the liquor ques-
ton. That judge is unfit to sit in
judgment on questions bearing upon
the liquor problem, for he has gone
out of his way to let it be known
that in his decision he is influenced
by his personal opinions. Such judges
are unfit for the bench.-Exchange.

Hosea S Warnings

Hosea lived in "perilous times" His
nation was rapidly engulfed in the
sins of the times. Heather influence,
bottles of wine" and other destroying
agencies had laid hold upon the vitals
of his nation. Yet he had the courage
to reprove his people for their sins
and to tell them of their certain doom
unless they repent He knew that the
only way to get at the bright side"
was to remove the dark clouds that
were then lowering over them, which
could only be removed through re-
pentance. Like Jeremiah he had the
courage and the faithfulness to utter
unpopular prophecies. Shall we not
initiate his example? Are not the sins
which Hosea SO faithfully points out
also prevalent among us? And shall
we not likewise point out and de-
nounce such sins as drunkenness, lust,
covetousness, pride, fashion, world
ly plea sure, liberalism, indiffer-
ence, and other glazing sins which are
preying upon the vitals of Our nation?
