CARTHAGE, Tenn, Sept. Grow.
ing out of the recent death of E. L.
Hackett, sheriff-elect of this county
before he could qualify, and be in
Quoted into Office, considerable spec
ulation and discussion has arisen
over the probable outcome of the pro-
posed election by the county court of
a successor. The present sheriff,
who has served the last two years,
has been advised that he could serve
for the next two years, under the pro-
visions of the constitution, owing to
the fact that the sheriff-elect died be-
fore he could qualify. Under the ad-
vice of counsel, the chairman, not
withstanding this contention, has
called the court to meet in special
session on September IA, for the pur-
pose of electing a successor to fill out
the term of Mr.. Hackett.

BIRTHS In MAURY
FAR BELOW DEATHS
JULY RECORDS SHOW OPPOSITE
HAS BEEN TRUE IN REST
OF STATE.

For one time Maury County Is
much behind the rest of the state.
The vital statistics for the month
of July show that the deaths in this
county were much in excess of the
births, while in the rest of the state
just the opposite was the case.
There were &c deaths in this county
in July, while there were but So
births.
In the rest of the state there was
very decided preponderance of
births over deaths. There was but
little indication of race suicide, TAX
ing the state as a whole. In the SO
counties there were in this month
1856 deaths, but the births were about
1870 greater, numbering 4443.
We must pick up in this line If we
are going to keep up with the rest of
the state.

GRAHAM ALREADY QUALIFIED
Incumbent Holds Life Certificate ana
It 10 Probable That He Will Not
Have Any Opponent at the ExpIra-
tion Of His Term.

Judge J. Trim Mcknight of the
county court, has appointed Prof.
Robert Lee Harris, Prof. D. M. Gallo
way and Col. w. P. Morton as a COM
mittee to examine candidates for
county superintendent of public in
struction. This committee will prob.
ably meet at the court house on the
first Monday Of October for the pur-
pose of examining all who desire to
take the examinations.
The term of the present able and
eficient county superintendent, John
P. Garham, will expire on the first
Monday Of next January at which
time his successor will be elected by
the quarterly court. 1t is not likely,
however, that Mr.. Graham will have
any opposition. And it is altogether
improbable that any one will take the
examination as a prerequisite to be-
ing candidate.
Mr.. Graham will not have to take
the examination. When first examin-
ed he made such high grade that he
was given life certificate. AS long
as he is engaged in the school bust.
ness he is entitled to hold the office II
elected superintendent.
Mr.. Graham was first elected in
1907 to the Office which he holds and
his administration Of the school af.
fairs has been brilliant success.
Under his direction the schools have
made wonderful progress until now
Maury county is recognized all over
the state as having one of the best
public school systems in Tennessee.
He has to an unusual degree the con-
fidence Of the people, the county
court and the teachers. Since his
first election he has never had an op-
ponent. No other is now qualified in
the county to hold the Office. Even
should another pass the requisite ex-
animation, election would be very i'm
probable because of the strong hold
that Mr.. Graham has upon the esteem
and confidence of the people and

head of the dairy department Of the
Wisconsin experiment station, said:
Yes, we are at last at work. We
are making fine progress, and we be-

United States is going to be made
here in Maury county. We base our
statement upon the fact that the
milk, from which this cheese is 60.
ing to be made, is the richest in but
ter fat Of any In the country. In the
1900 cheese factories in Wisconsin,
the average butter fat Of the milk
used in cheese production is only
about 3h%o while the milk in this
cheese here runs over SO. As soon
as this becomes known, and that the
cheese is SO rich, there will be q
great rush to get the products Of this
factory, which Is the only one in the
state OF Tennessee.
The cheese will be called 'Tennes.

have already made about 1000 pounds
Of it and it is as pretty as we have
ever seen. It will be about twenty
one days before it is cured out suff
GENTLY to put on sale. The cheese
weighs twenty pounds each. By the
end of the week we believe that we
will be turning out 500 pounds Of the
best cheese made in this country. Tc
do this we will have to have about
500 pounds of milk. Those who have
furnished us milk to date are Edwin
Jones, R. F. Moore, J. B. Lowell, E. H
Hatcher, w. B. White, H. A. Webster
Thomas and Sowell, ]. D. Frierson
and others. We think that we are
going to get enough milk right here

to supply the factory"
