WATER ECONOMY

THREE ALARMS WITHIN LESS

INSIDE THE CITY.

Three fire alarms within less than
twenty-four hours shows the pru.
dence and good sound judgment OF
the city Authorities in their attempt
by strict or !ers to conserve the water
supply for the fire emergencies.
The fire Tuesday night was store
owned by egroes at the corner OF
Eighth and Helms branch, the pro.
prietors being Albert Wright, John
Webster and teacher named Kelly.
The loss Of the stock was almost
complete only one small show case
being recovered from the flames. The
books were saved but the invoice bills
hanging on : file in the store were
destroyed.
The fire alarm of Tuesday after
noon was of no importance, but had
an explosion occurred from the light
ed coal oil stove it might have been
serious. Tie fire of Monday night
would have been serious one with a
shortage of water. The residence of
Mr.. Cochran would have burned. and
with it would have gone the Presby.

NEW RECORD FOR

MOST ELEVEN HUNDRED INCH
CS ADVERTISING.

Again on Tuesday The Herald DEM
onstrated its superiority as an adver-
tising medium for this section. The
issue was the largest regular issue of
The Daily Herald that ever left the
presses. Holiday and special num-
bers are, of course, excluded. The
paper on Tuesday contained twelve
pages and II carried the unprecedent-
ed total of i,0SG inches of advertis.
ing This was equal to fifty-four col
umns, full columns at that.
Merchants of Columbia are wide
awake They know how to reach the
people of this section, hence their
judgment to ues The Daily Herald in
advertising the big midsummer
sales. The Daily of Tuesday, large
as it was, went to more homes than
any previous ordinary issue OF that
paper. Into more than $500 homes
Tuesdays paper carried the glad It'd
ings of the bargain fsetival to be in
augurated IN Columbia on Friday. AT

Tuesdays paper will be read by no
less than $4,000 people.

Company Pays at the Rate Of $110

That Plans for New Building Are

For $500 the Cumberland Iele-
phone & Telegraph Company today
purchased. from Anderson Bros. &
Foster, Dobbins G Ewing and Walter
P. Woodbridge the vacant lot ia the
rear of the stores occupied by these
firms and fronting on South Garden

1t Is under stood that on this lot
the telephone company will at an ear
ly date begin the erection of hand
some building for the Offices and
plant and exchange of the company.
1t will also b. the home of the Offices
Of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, nov affiliated with and
owned by the telephone company.
Manager Fred Latta, when ques-
toned about the purchase of the lot,
refused to discuss the matter. It is
known, however, that negotiations
have been pending between the own
ers of the lot and oficials Of the COM
pany for some time. Hon. w. L.
Granbery, ..e general counsel Of the
company, was in the city this morn,
ling, it Is Understood, to look over the
title to the lot and examine the pa.
pers.
The lot fronts fifty feet on South
Garden stre,. and runs back ninety.
nine feet. The price paid was S110

TEEN in which Columbia city property

tate that would compare favorably
with that nsj1 in cities much larger
than Columbia
The price laid for this lot probsbly
marks a new record for Columbis
real estate outside of the lands on
West Seventh street, and in the i'm
mediate vicinity of court square.
It is expected that plans for the
new building viii be announced at ar
early date and that work will tegir

THE EQUALIZATION
BOARD ENJO|NED As
TO ITS CERTIFICATE
FIRST LEGAL RESTRAINT THAT
HAS ENTERED INTO ITS DE-
ALTERATIONS.
FERTILIZER STOCK The BASIS
Cannot Report the $4,000 Assess.
ment Against J. w. Howard to the
County Clerk for Copying Into the
1918 Tax Books.

For the first time during the delib-
erations of the past five weeks or
more the equalization board Wednes-
day met with a legal estopel Of
its acts. An injunction was granted
by Judge Wikie, of Franklin, and filed
with the clerk and master at 1910 to
prevent the board from certifying to
the county court clerk the $4,000 as
sessment by the tax assessor Of the
1,125 shares of Tennessee Fertilizer
stock held by 7. w. Howard.
The injunction was served fifteen
or twenty minutes before the board
was ready to sign its general report
of certification which included the
item referred to. This, however,
would not have avoided the injunc-
tioH, as it could have been served
upon the county court clerk to pre-.
vent him from copying the same from
the assessor's report in making out
the tax books.
The assessment was made by Coun-
ty Assessor Ben Cowley, and like the
other assessments made by him, had
been passed upon and ratified by the
board and cnly needed the signed
certification by the members to make
it binding upon the county court clerk
to copy it into the tax records without
some form Of legal restraint.
The shares of stock are valued al
500 each, and as there were 1,12s
and were only figured at 80 per cent
valuation ry the assessor, making q
total of $4,000. The rate Of taxation
Is $1.30 and this would make the
amount Of taxee s1,170. There was
no question as to the value of the
stock, but the restraining order is tc
prevent the assessment altogether.
This Injunction for the present acts
as an estopel on any report beina
made to the state board of equaliza
tion on this property.
The members of the board are
Thos. B. Forgey, chairman; D. X. MI
nor, secretlry: Sam Witherspoon, H

FIFTY BUSHELS OF
WHEAT TO iHE ACRE
MAKES new RECORD
SPLENDID CROP MADE BY
CHARLES r. DENTON ON HIS
GRovELAND FARM.
GRAIN FOLLOWED POTATOES
On a Field Of Twenty Acres the
Yield Average More than Forty
Bushels to the Acre-AIso Record
Crop Potatoes.

Fifty bushels of wheat to the acre.
That is the. yield made by C. r. Den.
ton, Of Gro, eland, on twelve acres
of land. This is probably the wheat
record for this county, and doubtless
for the state on that much land.
Certainly it is the highest yield SO
far reported to The Herald for this
season.
Mr.. Denton also made 200 bushels
on eight acres, the total yield for
twenty acres Icing S14 bushels, the
yield on the twelve acres mentioned
being GA bushels or fifty and seven.
tenths bushels to the acre.
The average yield for the entire
twenty acres was more than forty
bushels to the acre. At ninety cents
a bushel the crop brought for the
entire acreage $35 per acre. On the
twelve acres uron which the heav-
lest yield was made the returns were
$45 per acre.
The twelve acres making the fifty
bushels to the acre was planted in
potatoes last year and made one
the record crop of the county the
profits being more than $500 an acre.
This same land in 1908 in potatoes
made Mr.. Denton $500 or more than
$500 an acre. This land in the past
Ave years hos made returns Of be-
tween $500 aid 500 an acre net 1t
is probably as profitable piece OF
land as is to be found in the entire
country.
Mr.. Denton dug his potatoes last
fall and Immediately sowed the
to wheat. He used New Econom.
wheat and sowed one bushel and one
peck to the acre. Mr.. Denton be.
lieves in sowing plenty Of wheat and
his judgment in this respect has he,
verified.

4 List of the Teachers In the County
and Where They Are to Teach in
Course Of Preparation by Mr.. Ora.
ham.

The school interests of the county
have not been abandoned by the
county superintendent and teachers.
Superintendent Graham is one Of the
busiest men in the county at all
times, and there are many of the
teachers who work right on during
the summer vacation season, though
it is not in the school room. The
work, however, rebounds to the bene-
fit of the purils of the county in the
new thoughts, ideas and methods
gathered by the teachers in their va
ried employment.
Supt. Stephens, of Mt. Pleasant,
was in Columbi atoday in connection
with school matters. Supt, Stephens
is president Of the county teachers
association, END is live wire all the
time. AS uaual he was full of enthu-
siasm regarding the school work and
school matters Of his section. He
stated that everything was looking
good for the schools Of his city for
the fall terms, and that much Inn.
provements would be made In the
buildings ana equipment during the
summer. Amcng the improvements
he stated that steam heat would be
put in the Hay-Long building and that
bids for this work were being receiv-
ed now. The new high school build
ing, erected last year, was equipped
with steam heat in the beginning, and
this has proven Of such a satisfactory
nature it was decided to have all the
buildings heated alike.
Examinations will be held at the
Athenaeum by Superintendent Gra-
ham on July "a and rs for those who
have not finished their examinations.
The reading course work will be held
on Thursday, the Gath.
The superintendent is busy making
out the list OF teachers for the county
for the fall and winter terms, and
will have the same ready for publ.
cation within the next few days. This
will show the name Of the teacher
and the school where they will teach
