WHEAT HARVEST IS
NOW ON IN EARNEST
ALL over COUNTY
PROSPECTS faEvER BETTER FOR
A FINE YIELD AND THE SAM
PIE is GOOD.
However, the Farmers Are In No Hur-
ry to Sell at That Figure and Are
Inclined to Hold Hoping for Bet
ter Price.

With prospects for q fine yield new
,er better and with the quality of the
grain equal to the best ever known,
the wheat harvest has commenced in
real earnest in Maury county Under
the most favorable weather auspices
to be imagined. If the farmers can
have just about one week more of
the kind of weather that they are get
ting today, with the sun perhaps a
bit stronger .n,e of the largest crops
of wheat ever harvested will be safe
ly in the shock and in places the
threshing will actually begin.
In the Mt. Pleasant. Cross Bridges
and Ridley sections of the county,
where the heaviest .snops of wheat
are grown, the harvest is on in real
earnest Farmers are congratulating
themselves on the fiGe yield. The
heads are excellent and experts pro
nounce the samples to be all that one
could ask. Several farmers with
large crops are already estimating
their yields at 80 bushels and up
wards, though Of course this will be
the exception. Even on land plarted
to corn last year and where the wheat
was sown 1afe even as late as De
lcember, the indications now are that
the yeild wifi be extra fine.
1t is believed that the acreage oil
wheat in the county is larger thar il
was the year previous. If this is true
the yield sAould be exceptionally
large for the county.
So far as can be ascertained none
of the new wheat has been sold
Farmers arr manifesting a disposi
ton to hold the crop for 81. From
present Indications here the mills
will hardly cffeT more than S5 cents
which is. just about the Chicago quo
tations. In fact two or three buyers
| here nave stated tnat In the present
condition of the market they could
not pay more than S5 cents at the
opening. The impression generally
obtains that wheat will be very lit

However, there are farmers who are
expressing confidence in rise later

Mowers ara busy in the county as
well as reaDels Farmers will rake

in spite of gloomy forecasts during

CHAIRMAN PEBBLES
Wins IN REQUEST TO
POSTPONE ACTION
COMMITTEE PETITION FOR CON-
MISSION APPOINTMENTS WAS
NOT PRESENTED.
MAURY PASSED BY STATE BOARD
County Committee May Be Called for
the First Monday in July and From
This Time Forth the Fight VIII Be
In the opeh.

Chairman PEBBLES Is wearing
smile that won't come off, at least un-
til after the committee meeting,
which will probably take place the
first Monday in July.
The reason for this smile is that
the chairman prevented the appoia-
ment of M. E. Allen and John M.
Burns as the democratic election COM
missioners for Maury county by the
alleged state hoard in its meeting
Tuesday, Notwithstanding the fact
that it is stated petition signed by
good majority of the committee was
| in the capital city in the hands of
parties properly authorized to pre-
sent it to the state board.
Just why the chairman opposed the
appointment If Messrs. Allen and
Burns was not stated, but the state
board recognized the request of the
chairman and rassed Maury county
to await the action of the committee.
The call for the committee meet
ing will he issued by the chairman
when it is determined as to the coz
venience Of the action Of the state
board, and it Is thought most likely
that the first Monday in July will be
1.-THE best time for the meeting
Those who were anxious for the
fight to be oycl by the appointment
of their men were of course dsap-
pointed, but say they are not afraid
Of the action OF the committee, as
they are in possession of petition
with majority of their signatures
endorsing Allen and Burns.
In the scramble for the appoint
ment of the regular democrats the
third man has been lost sight of. 1t
is generally believed that VIM Bar
ker will be The third man, but he was
unable to go to Nashville Tuesday en-
account of being interested in a law
suit in court Not Barkis but Barker
| is willing, but when the show down
comes It may be that there will be-
some objections to him, particular
! ly If the Allen and Burns crowd
should win. as it is known that he
asked the progressive member, Mr..
Alexander, to agree to the request OF
Chairman PEBBLES In passing Maury
without action ct present.
Up to the Dresent there has heen
considerable activity but 1t was rath..
er on the quiet, From this time on
the fight vii! he in the open, and no,
quarters asked, and in the end there
will have 20 De some explaining in
order to get political robes on
straight.

COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO CON.
SUIT WITH THE LOCAL
MANAGER.
CHAUTAUQUA WAS A SUCCES|C OUNCIL APPOINTED SOON
Resolutions Adopted Regarding the
Columbia Institute Commencing
the Institution and Its Work to
All.


Perhaps the most important action
of the Board Of Trade Tuesday night
was regarding the telephone service
in Columbia DOW being furnished by
the Cumberland Telephone and Tel
egraph Company The subject of
rates and Indifferent service was dis
cussed by the members present and
finally resulted i'll the appointment. of
La committee composed of T. L. Cum
ningham and Ashley Sowell, with in,
structions to confer with the local
manager, Fred Latta, and see If some
betterment of the service could not
be agreed upon. and If possible to ar
rive at a more satisfactory schedule
of rates. II was noticed that the
rates of the Cumberland and the Citi-
zens were considerably different, and
lit was the idea OF the board that there
should not be Sc much difference.
A report or the connection of the
board with the Chautauqua was
made, and this showed that the Chau.
tauqua was success that the beard
practically "broke even" on the guar.
lantee.
The boerd took cognizance of the
lColumbia Institute, the oldest educa.
Itional institution in this section OF
the state, IN the following resolu.
Itions:
"The Board of Trade of Columbia
being intereoted in the welfare soi
every institution or enterprise bring.
ling people revenue or renown to our
city, keeps watchful eye on all the
efforts of her citizens in such direc
tions.
'The public fere have watched the
work done at the Columbia Institute,
particularly this spring. From our
observation ard from the unanimous
Expression of The patrons having stu.
dents at the Institute, we believe that
the work dcne this spring has been
more thorough and painstaking than
ever before. We believe that the stu.
dents attending have done more real
quiet, honest work than ever in the
history Of tie institution
"We know the Institute is on a firm
foundation, to which the parents OF
not only this community, but any 9th
er, can senG their girls with the as
surance that they will be thoroughly
instructed, carefully trained, and
guarded against all temptations.
There is ut this school no sham
nor pretense, but frankness and hon.
esty, sincerity and high character,
ability and scholarship mark its ef-
forts. Therefore the Columbia Board
of Trade takes great pleasure in com
mending the Columbia Institute to
the parents aid guardians of this
community, and to the entire coun.
try, giving the fullest endorsement
to the character and management OF
| the school and bespeaking a liberal
patronage or the absolute merits of
the institution

ing apprehension, OF dry weather dam
age in the Eastern belt. and of a less
favorable first condition report from
the department of agriculture early
next month, than the trade has previ-
ously been disposed to consider prob
able. The buying was not general,
nor was IL aggressive, and the talk
around the ring showed a continued
bearish average of sentiment.
The market opened firm at an ad-
vance of five to nine points on COW

eight to nine points net higher right
after the call, but offerings became a
little heavier. following reports of
good rains in Northwestern Ala
