Railways Going Dry


caption News of the Railways" says that
ms throughout the United States are seen a
lr reality by railroad men. We quote the article
|:
Railroad men believe the day is coming
soon when the sale of liquors will be COM
pletely abandoned by every transportation
line in the United States This development
is seen to be near reality, partly as defer
ence to public sentiment and partly on
count of the many states where county Ii
censes are necessary and the aggregate cost
of the fees is so large that no road could
assume them even for the convenience of
travellers.
Illinois, Indiana and Ohio are now prac-
tically dry train states The Erie, Lacka-
wanna, Reading and Jersey Central have fol-
lowed the decision of the Pennsylvania to
submit to adverse state laws and abolish the
sale of liquors in their trains within the state
of Pennsylvania. New Jersey has a strict
license law New York is now about the
only state between New York City and Chi
cago where drinks can be sold on trains, and
the Erie now is considering whether it will
renew it's New York licenses.
In many of the states the roads have
faced the alternative of taking out a Ii
cense in every county for every dining and
buffet car operating, or having their walters
stewards and porters arrested In many of the
states the law provides for licenses to be is
sued by municipalities and the sale of liquor
without license makes the place in which it
is sold disorderly house, and the sellers are
liable for prosecution for a misdemeanor
Every dining car and buffet car thus would
be treated as a disorderly house and heavy
penalty placed on the attendants.
The fees for license for every car in
every county makes the business of selling
liquor prohibitive for the roads from finan-
cial standpoint. The railroads have carried
on the business to meet the wants of their
passengers, for the number travelling who
want drink is said to be much greater than
the number who do not, and there has never
it is said, been any serious complaint because
of dsorderly conduct resulting.
If, however, the law demands change
the roads say they are perfectly willing to
abandon the practice, for it is more matter
of accommodating the public than a source
of profit to the dining car department. The

Another splendid Maury county
farm changed hands today showing
that those who put their money in

son for the faith that is in them. DR..

SNATE GAME
COMMISSIONERS
WILL BE HEARD AT WASHING +
TON FOR PROTECTION TO
BIRDS.

Sportsmen throughout the country
are expressing a lively interest n the
hearings on hills for federal protec-
ton of migratory game birds. which
will he held at Washington this
week; the Mclean bill before the
senate committee on forest reserva-
tons and the protection of game, and
the Weeks bill before the house COM
mittee on agriculture. The Alnerl-
can game protection and propagation
association is backing these bills and
through its efforts large attendance
at the hearings has been assured.
State game commissioners and del
egates from local and state protec-
tive associations have been urged to
attend, and many have signified their
intention Of doing SO.
This is the first time those in favor
of conservation have been given an
opportunity to express themselves on
this subject with any possibility or
definite action as a result. Every
sportsman should avail himself of the
to go to Washington or
to write to the chirmen of the two
committees in support Of the bills.

HARRIS REELECTED
SUPERINTENDENT Of
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
HIS PAST WORK HAS BEEN EMl.
NENTLY SATISFACTORY IN
EVERY PARTICULAR.
CURRENT BILLS ARE ALLOWED
A Discussion of an Adjustment of the
School Buildings in the City With
the Possibility of Getting the coun-
ty Interested.

There was barely a quorum at the
board of education meeting at the
c:ty hall last night, but there was
much practical and beneficial discus
sion regarding the adjustment of
what will soon be the congested
school conditions in the city. A com.
m,ttee was appointed at a former
meeting to look into the buying and
selling of property, and to make a
report to the full board.
1t seems to be the opinion Of the
board that there should be some diff
ferent arrangement about the county
high school; that all the grades
should be assembled at one place,
and the high school at another, and
that the Athenaeum is not sufficient
Ily centrally located to make it the
permanent location. 1t further seems
20 be the opinion of the board that a
separate high school building is an
absolute necessity, and that some ac-
ton will likely take place before the
summer is over.
Prof. Harris was reelected rs SUI
perintendent of the city schools, with
out a dissenting voice. The chair
man OF the board spoke few words
Of commehdation for the superintend-
ent and said he would be glad to see
5ne salary raised, but was sorry that
it could not DE done at this time.
A committee was appointed to look
after the appropriation of the county
for the benefit of the high school, 1t
was shown in the superintendent's re-
port that the city of Columbia is car
ryiig the burden of the high school
expenses, and that there are 81 pupils
from the city and 146 from other por-
tions of the county. The county
only appropriates $4,000 for the sup
port of the faculty, the city furnish
ing the building and making up the
deficiency in the other expenses.
The bills which were presented ag-
grgated $3467O and were ordered
paid on proper audit.

All Urged to Become Interested
in U. S. Display in 1918.

The Maury County Farmers Asse.
cietio1 met at the court house Mon
lay and held the most enthusiastic
meeting for several months, as was
proven by the interest taken in the
discussions.
j. NJ. Dean, of the department Of
agriculture at Washington, and sup
ervicor OF corn club work in Middle
Tennessee, was present and made a
most valuable talk ON demonstration
work, tie selection of seed corn and
corn cultivation. In this connection
Mr. Dean also made plain the neces.
slty and value OF crop rotation. He
paid fine tribute to the citizenship
Of Maury county and said that the
county AND town had offered much
better prizes in the corn clubs than
any other county in his division, but
There weIe fewer entries. He at
rlbuted this to various things, but
said thees would be oveercom by pre-
parations now being made, and stat
ed that the rules and regulations sov-
erning tbs corn clubs of the county
would possibly be announced by the
time of the next meeting which will
be on the first Monday in April. Dur
ing the discussion of the possibilities

one farmer said he would give $50 to
the individual who would excel the
record made by young McKibbon last
year, and numbers of others agreed
TO supplement the amount
The United States corn display
will take place at Columbia, S. c., in
February 1913. and the farmers were
urged to get interested in this, as it
would be the first timee it was yer
held in the South.
Mr.. Deans work has increased so
considerably that he has employed J.
N. Meroney to have charge of and
look after the demonstration work in
Maury county.
There was larger number present
and more interest than usual mani
tested.

STATE POSITIONS.

NASHVILLE, Mar. 5.-Althougf
it is a well known fact that the re
publican appetite is whetted for l'olit
Cal pie, the somewhat surprising fact
remains that with the state conven
tion for the nomination of full
state ticket hut little more than a
week off, there is not an announced
candidate for comptroller, secretary
OF state, railroad commissioner OF
judge of the supreme court. Gov
Hooper is seeking a denomination
Hon. H. n. Cate is a candidate for
,he court of civil appeals, and treasur.
er Tom Taylor is looked upon as a
candidate for state treasurer, al
though he has not formally announc-
ed his candidacy.
1t is expected that the republican
slate will be filled, but it is not yet
known who will have certain nomina-
tions thrust upon them, for by pres
ent tokens the office must seek the
man, in view of the delay of the man
III seeking the office.
In connection with the state repub-
iican convention, which will be held
here on March IL, it was announced
Monday by Secretary Renfro that all
ailroads had granted rates Of one fare
plus rs cents for the round trip, no
certificates being necessary.

SPECIAL ARTICLE BY
PROF. ASHTON ON
EFFECT OF HABIT
THE IMPORTANCE OF PROPER
TRAINING DURING SCHOOL
DAYS.
TOO MUCH FREEDOM SERIOUS
Good or Bad inclinations Soon Be-
come Part of the individual,
Hence these Personal Ingredients
Should Be Properly Selected.

The following paper on THE Mean
ing OF Habit" was read before the
Maury County Teachers Association
last Saturday, by Prof. Ashton, prin-
cipal of the school at Culleoka:
When one tries to define habit, he
is led to the fundamental principles
OF properties Of matter The laws Of
nature are nothing more than the i'm
mentable habits which the different
elementary sorts of matter follow
In their action and reaction upon
each other. We know after 4 gar
nent has been worn a certain time IL
clings to the shape of the body better
tnan when new. After a paper has
been once folded it is easier to fold
a second time. There has been
change in the tissue and this change
is a new habit of cohesion. The same
is true with regard to our intellectual
AID physical habits.
The definition given for habit in
Games Psychology is this: IAN ac-
quired habit from physiological
point of view is onthing but new
pathway of discharge formed in the
brain by which certain incoming cur
rents ever after tend to escape"
The pathways are made In the
brain by the currents that are poured
in by the nerves. When they once
enter the brain they must have
way to get out and they either follow
an cid path or make new ones. The
oftener the same path is traversed
or the oftener the ded is done the
easier it is to be repeated. And
thus the habit is formed. Whence
we get the educational maxim, '?rac,
tice makes perfection"
Our problem in education is not so
much to ascertain the meaning or
habit as il ie to assist in the forming

There is movement on foot to oil
the sprinkling district Of the city, and
it is practically assured that /: will
be DONE
This, however, will not interfere
with the sprinkling contract which
Is already in force, for the oiling can.
not be dcne with success until the

which 1t is expected will be as late
as May 20. The street sprinkling
with water will continue until that
time, wheh the city contemplates us
ing the oil.
Investigations have been going on
as to the satisfactory use of oil in
the smaller towns, and nothing but
favorable replies have been receiv.
ed. MurfreesDoro, a number of small
Towns in Alabama, and number OF
other places, all report satisfaction
IN Its use.
The use of oil preserves the street
IN many ways and does not leave 1t
IN a softened condition to be cut UP
Dy heavy vehicles and drays. II
makes good drainage, in that the wa.
Ter does not soak into the ground or
street, and keeps down dust and all
particles in the air.
The subscription to the fund for
the Institution of this method of pro.
lection against dust has practically
reached sufficient proportions to
guarantee the same, and it will in no
way effect the subscription made
heretofore to the paper presented by
Mr.. Wilsford, as when this is put into
effect he will not be doing any sprink-
ling.
