A One Time Literary Mystery.

under the simple head of Poetry" ap-
peared what Byron called the most
perfect ode in the language"'-..The
Burial of Sir John Moore" Byron or
Campbell or any of the others to whom
this poem was variously ascribed would
doubtless have been proud to claim it.
But the author was the obscure curate
of Ballyclog. in Tyrone, Rev Charles
Wolfe, and the fame of the piece was
but poSthumous fame for him. Not
until his death of consumption in 1923
at the early age of thirty-two did the
authorship become known to the world.
And Wolfe. who wrote much other
verse of merit, is remembered only by
that one poem which sprang from the
columns of provincial newspaper to
universal recognition in the big world

THE COUNTRY LAWYER.
A Legal View of Him as the Slave Of
His Clients.

A Legal View of Him as the Slave of
His Clients.
"A professional baseball player in
part bases his claim for Il large com.
pensation upon the theory that in ac.
cepting service he surrenders in great
measure his liberty and becomes the
property of his employer" writes Al
mond G. Shepard in Case and Com.
ment."
IF this was the basis Of compensa-
tricts he would speedily become a mil
lionaire. For he is the property not
only of one individual. but frequently
of whole community. and the greater
his success, the wider his reputation.
the more abject is his slavery. His
clients are tyrannical. They know and
recognize no Office hours. The month
hand on farm has at least a few
hours between late dusk and early
dawn for repoSe, but even these are
frequently denied the country lawyer
''Some of his clients are prone TO con-
suit him at his residence late at night,
when none Of the curious minded vii
layers can see them, and speculate and
gossip on the question and of the ma
ture and purpose of the call Another
class. believing in the adage that the
early bird catches the worm, ut early
sunrise interrupts his slumbers to make
sure that they retained the best law
yer in the county tn represent them in
some present or expected trouble"

Factor In Self Respect.
The fixed habit Of presenting always
neat and cleanly appearance to the
world is sure of double reward 1t
not only creates a favorable impress
sion. but begets q sustaining self re-
spect. 1t is scarcely reasonable Of a
man who does not respect himself to
look for much consideration from
others. 1t is not the cost of clothing,
but the scrupulous care of it that
counts. The man of slender means
should be neither 'toppy" nor sloppy"
but always tidy and neat in his attire,
seeing himself with the coldly critical
eye of a possible employer to whom
an applicants dress may mean much
more than his address or politest de-
pertinent
Style in writing. as defined by the
fastidious Chesterfield, is the dress of
thoughts. so the true style of the aver
age man may be correctly surmised
from the care he takes of his personal
appearance. He needs not be tinicky,
but should always be free of grease
spots and dust He should like his
bath even if it has to be taken by
means of bucket. He should never
neglect to brush his hair his shoes,
his teeth, his coat. trousers and hat.
If he can't afford a pressing iron he
should put coat and trousers under the
mattress and sleep upon them. If
laundry is serious item, he should
wash his own handkerchiefs. dry them
on the window panes and never by any

MUCH INTEREST
In POLITICAL ROW
MAURY FOUNTAINS ANXIOUS
FOR LATEST NEWS FROM
THE STATE CAPITAL.

Maury countians are taking great
deal of interest in the senatorial fight
at Nashville. From noon every day
until a late hour the telephones at
The Herald office are kept busy by
anxious inquiries seeking information
about the progress Of the balloting.
Sentiment is somewhat divided
among the independents, although
general satisfaction is expressed over
the choice of Enloe by the independ-
ent caucus and the hope is usually
entertained that he will be elected.
However, in the event that Fnloe
cannot be elected there are number
of men who would be wholly satisfac'
tory to the independents of this coun-
ty.
There is also a bit of lively specu-
lation here as to the outcome OF the
contests for the state officers. indie
pendents are not committed to any
candidate or candidates, on the con-
trary they desire first the scalps OF
Di5rell, Goodloe, and G. Tom Taylor
and want their places filled by men
who will be worthy Of high station.
They are practically indifferent as to
who the individuals may be so long
as they will not be tainted by the sins
of Dibrell, Goodloe and Tom Taylor.

GAILOR APPROVES
CHILD LABOR DAY
GREAT DIVINE OF THE EPiSCO
PAL CHURCH TO PREACH A
SPECIAL SERMON.

Right Reverend Thomas F. Gailor
Bishop of Tennessee, endorses the
National Child Labor Committees
call to all clergymen to observe Jan
26th as Child Labor Day by preaching
special sermons and using special
prayers. -.. E-a
The committeeman is asking all
clergymen and educators who intend
to speak on child labor to emphasize
the evils of home manufacturing In
the tenements, urging that although
home manufacturing is localized In
cities it is a problem of concern tc
consumers everywhere. The com
mittee also offers to send upon re
quest from it's Office in New York
City literature giving facts about
child labor laws in each state.
Tennessee is one prohibiting the
employment of any under Is years
as night messengers, but it is also in
the minority that has no general pro
hibition of night work under sixteen
years. The limit of hours in Tennes
see is sixty hours week, instead Of
eight hours a day. Moreover the
compulsory school attendance law
still applies to only 81 counties, leav.
ing IS exempt from regulation.
The federal council Of the churches
of Christ in America has called upon
one hundred state and city federation
secretaries to urge the observance OF
Child Labor Day in their respective
communities.
Letters of endorsement have beer
received by the National Child La
Dor Committee from many bishops
and college presidents and nearly SOC
clergymen have asked for more de
tailed information than is given in the
pamphlet of facts enclosed with 5000
announcements of Child Labor Day
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1913-01-24

There was considerable work re-
Quired to keep within the limits of
the budget, and the figures are prac-
tically the same as they We're for the
year 1912, there being about 500 add
ed to the charity and small sum
sum added to the sidewalk fund. In
doing this, however, the workhouse
expenses were provided for in the
matter of fines and costs, which were
set apart for the purpose of maintain
ing the workhouse department.
The superintendent of the city
schools submitted the budget require
ment for the maintenance of the
schools, which was approximately
$4,000. 1t will be seen the city pro-
vides fund Of $4,000. This will be
supplemented by the polls and by the
state and county school fund which
will bring it up to the required
amount.
II. l.. Taylor was granted the priv
ilege of establishing gasoline pump
ing station on Garden street near the
corner of Seventh on the B7thel
House side, with the supervision of
the street and sewer department.
c. A. Parker, chairman of the f.
nance committee, was authorized to
have the books of the city checked
up for the year 1912, and a commune
cation from the Dale Concrete Co, re-
ferring to the uncollected amounts
due on the walks built on North High
street, was referred to the street
committee, with the decision that the
board had no authority in the matter
complained of. .. ....-.
