GREAT OPPORTUNITY
SAYS A PROMINENT
HANDLER OF STOCK
SAYS MAURY COUNTY WILL BE
BENEFITED IF BUILDING
is ERECTED.
PROTECTION FOR ASSOCIATION
Highly Appropriate That Headquar-
tiers for Jack Breeders Should Be
Established in Columbia All
Should BE Interested.

In speaking OF the plan to locate
the building of the American Breed
ers Association Of Jacks and Jennetts
in Columbia, with Offices and arrange
ments for the promotion and encour-
agement Of other lines of pure strain
breeding, one of the most prominent
and progressive stock men of the
county said this morning:
THE proposition strikes me at
once as being splendid opportunity,
not only for the association but for
Maury county as well. Not only is 1t
feasible proposition, but it is highly
appropriate that the headquarters of
the jack and mule industry of the
county be located here. This is the
very center of the jack and mule in
dustry Of the South. Columbia and
Maury county has long been a place
where the best and highest priced
jacks of the country have been bred
and marketed. 1t is also great
mule market, and it is said that as
much as $l75,000 has passed over the
counters of the banks of Columbia
for mules on more than one first Mon
day, and it is no unusual thing to see
500 to 1000 on the streets on these
public days.
"The climatic conditions and influ.
ences, coupled with the blue grass
and limestone soils, make this Sec
ton suitable for the production of
more stamina and finer bone and
muscle in the breeding of jack stock
and mules. The purity of the breed
of jack stock in many states must be
attested by Mr.. Jones as president of
the American Breeders Association.
And this association, unlike the horse
register, the Jersey cattle breeders
and the Berkshire breeders. has no
permanent building or location. The
Jersey cattle breeders have just pur-
chased lot in New York City which
alone cost them $4,000, and on which
they are to erect new building.
IAN industry so important as the
jack and mule industry should have
permanent home. and each year
makes this necessity more percepti-
BILE. for one think now is the time
and Columbia the place, and can be
relied upon to give the matter my
moral and substantial encourage.
ment.
"And this should appeal not alone
to the jack and mule men; it should
have attractions to every man in the
county or in Middle Tennessee, who
is interested in the upbuilding of a
purer strain in all lines of stock, for
in the success of these lines depends
the prosperity of the entire citizen
ship"

Parker was authorized to cooperate

Great preparations are being made
for the meeting of the Middle Ten

which will take place at Darks Mills
beginning November 4. J. F. Draugh-
on, of Nashville, is president, and
has given out the information that
there will be larger attendance
than at any former meeting, accord

only will the attendance be larger,
but it will come from wider section
than heretofore. The trials will con-
tinue five or six days, according to
the weather at that time, and the
camp is to be an up-to-date one, with
a lounging room, restaurant, and 9th
er arrangements to make the hunters
comfortable after the chase.
Mr.. and Mrs. W. I. Young, of Nash
vile, who have never missed meet
ing, will be on hand, as will A. Ms

Bulgaria in contrast with her pacific
position of a fortnight ago.

PROBABILITY
PREsIDENT-ELEcT is SAID TO BE
SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING
MlsslssIPPIAN.

Washington, Jan. 11.-Cabinet gos-
sip, so far as it pertains to the secre-
taryship of agriculture, has taken a
decided slant toward "Zeke" Chandler
of Mississippi. The President-to-be is
said to have taken up the Mississip-
plan for serious consideration on ac-
count of the fact that he always has
fought for larger appropriations for
the research and demonstration work
of the department under ecretary Will
son and the late DR.. S. A. Knapp.
The talk of economy never has
impressed Mr.. Chandler at ALL He has
taken the position that the nation can
not afford to stint itself in the lease de-
gree in making allowances for the edu-
cation of the young men and women of
the country up to an appreciation of
what can and what should be done
with the land.
In fact, ne was removed from the
committee by Speaker Cannon on ac-
count OF his aggressive tactics in
"raiding" the treasury for that pur-
pose, his raids being made successful
by his appeals to the House itself, aft
er he had been turned down in the
committee.
These matters have been brought to
the attention Of the President-elect,
and the effect is said to be as before
indicated.
