then of course accept as final the

COMMISSIONERS
HAVE A MEETING
WILL NOT GIVE OUT ANYTHING
FOR PUBLIC REGARDING
THEIR ACTIONS.

The new electic1 commissioners
for Maury county, who were appoint
ed Monday by Carter, Reichman and
Alexander, are shut up as tight as a
clam today. The appointees are A.
l.. Thomas, e. M. Kindel and VIM.
Barker
They would not give out anything
although they were piled vigorously
with questions. Mr. Kindel returned
to his home after meeting in the
office of Regular Chairman Thomas H.
PEBBLES. Mo Thomas was given an
opportunity to say something but de-
clined. VIM. Barker, rather contra
ry to his usual custom, wouldn't give
out anything for publication. Bar
ker, however, did claim, that notwith-
standing the fact that he quit the re-
publican party last year, supported
the bull moose ticket and is at pres
ent the secretary of the state bull
moose committee, claims that he is
still the chairman of the republican
countycommittee of Maury county.
Chairman PEBBLES, in whose office
the meeting was held would not state
II any commissions had been receiv.
ed, whether any lawsuits were con
templated to get possession of the
registration books, whether they
would proceed with the appointment
of the registrars for the county. In
fact, it sees that the new bunch are
standing upon the proposition that
discretion is the better part of valor
and are not talking.

MAURY'S SCHOOLS
SHOWS FINE GAIN
DURING PAST Term
AVERAGE ATTENDANCE AND EN-
RoLLMENT PASS ALL FOR.
MER RECORDS.
The INCREASE IS GRATIFYING
Development of Public Sentiment
and Active Work Of the County Su-
perintendent and Teachers Brings
Fine Results.

During the past term Maury coun-
TVS public schools made the greatest
progress recorded in their history.
The annual report of County Superin-
tendent John p. Graham, now In the
course of preparation, shows advance
ment never before attained since the
system of public schools was estab-
lished.
The record for enrolment Is the
best ever made, there being 750 more
pupils enrolled in the public schools
during the session than were enroll
ed during the previous session. But
that is probably not the best feature
of the record. The report shows that
after the pupils enrolled they attend
ed school better than ever before.
The percentage of increase in the
average attendance shows gain OF
$50 or approximately fifteen per cent
a step forward in single term that
will probably not be e9ualled in the
entire state.
1 There are a number of causes thai
contribute 70 make the Forthcoming
report so gratifying. First, of course
Is the general increase in public
school sentiment, an awakening o.

Again some credit must go to tn
