YOUTH OF COLUMBIA
START TOSSING Of
THE HORSE HIDE
- a. 49, 'E<
c. M. A. AND HIGH SCHOOL BOYS
ARE ALREADY PRAcTlclNG
FOR GAMES.
$500 Subscribed town TEAM
Prospects Excellent for Fine Mines
From Both Local Schools--Several
Men for Each Position at High, Ac-
cording to Prof. r. L. Harris.

Baseball will soon be the order of
the day. Already, when the mercury
Is not lowering near the 80 mark, the
crash of the bat and the pop of the
baseball glove is heard on the lots
and athletic fields around the city.
Young America, after a winter of dis
content, is turning to the most popu-
lar Of all games for amusement.
Practice has started at the High
school and Military Academy. The
boys are taking 1t easy these first
few days, as the weather has not
moderated enough as yet to let out
to the full extent No games have
been arranged, but the schedule COM
mittees are sureties for the state
ment that they will bring the best
prep and high school teams in the
state to play here during the season.
At the High School, Prof. Harris
says there are several candidates for
each of the nine positions. For some
there are as many as half Dozen
The material is fine and the prospects
are excellent for the best team that
the school has ever had in its history.
Out at the Military Academy the
basket ball season closed some weeks
ago, and the men have been working
out in the gymnasium to be in good
shape when the season becomes warm
enough for them to get outside. The
battery candidates are already in fair
shape, as they have worked the sore
ness out of their limbs. The pros
poets are good for strong team that
will be able to cope with the prep
schools of Middle Tennessee.
The money for the city team has
been practically subscribed and a
first class nine is assured. $4O0 has
been promised by the leading firms
and business men of the city. No
steps have yet been taken by the
manager to arrange a schedule, as it
will hardly be possible to have any
games before June l. He has his
weather eye, however, on several
promising athletes, who will be sign
ed up in due time if they continue
to show the stuff that they are reput-
ed to have.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS
CLOSE WEEK HENCE
EIGHT MONTH INSTITUTIONS
FINISH MARCH 13, WHILE OTH-
ERs HOLD 30 DAYS LONGER.

At the regular monthly meeting of
the county board of education, all the
members were present except Charles
P. Hatcher, who was in Nashville at
tending the sessions of the supreme
court. In his absence, A. L. Derry
ry presided over the meeting.
There was nothing Of very pressing
importance before the board. The
negro schools will close with the COM
ing Friday afternoon, while the white
ones, which began on time in the fall,
will complete their eight months
term the following Friday and turn
out for the spring and summer vaca-
tion. Some of these schools, which
were late, for some reason or other,
in starting in the fall, will not close
until the full eight months have been
compelled.
However, there are several schools
in the county which will run nine full
months. Among them are the schools
at Culleoka, Mcdowell, Santa Fe,
Hampshire, Water Valley, McCains
and some others.
Superintendent J. P. Graham is
busy at work preparing the set OF
examination papers that will be sent
out to all the schools that close a
week hence. He makes out all the
questions and forwards them to teach
ers to give the pupils at the final ex-
animation.

JOHN 7. WOOTEN
BACK FROM EAST
LIKES LINE OF GOODS HE FOUND
IN NEW YORK, BUT ABoMI-
MATES WEATHER.

John T. Wooten, of the Maury Dry
Goods Company, has returned from
three weeks stay in New York
where he purchased for his big store
the spring and summer stock of
goods. Mr.. Wooten was charmed
with the showing of new patterns and
fabrics designed for milady's wear
during the coming season and he
bought an extensive and most beauti-
full line. He believes that he has
made selections that will appeal with
peculiar force to the ladies of this
section. Mr.. Wooten declares that
the weather was abominable during
the most of his stay in New York. He
had an interesting experience getting
home, his train being snowbound for
several hours in Virginia.

MONDAY BROKE ALL
PAST. RECORDS IN
TRUSTEES OFFICE
SPENCE AND GEORGE MFALL
SHOWED UNDER BY HEAVY
RECEIPTS.
AMOUNT NOT Yet COMPUTED
Hundreds Taxed Capacity Of Genial
Officials in Receiving Their Taxes.
Latter Part of Week Before Work
Can Be Checked Up.

The county's exchequer was very
considerably augmented Monday by
the receipts taken in by Trustee w.
Spence McFall and his brother, Geo.
McFall. There is no doubt that they
were the two most overworked men
in the city. Were it not for the fact
that they wear a perpetual halo of
sunshine and Joy upon their brows all
the time, and that the most terrible
storm could not ruff1e their beaming
countenances, they would have lost
their religion and everything else in
that line by reason of the worries and
vexations that they went through in
the short time between sunup and
sundown Monday.
They still look like travellers that
have recently been rescued from a
snow storm, for they were really and
truly showed under with checks and
coin Of the realm during the day.
They have not yet climbed out from
under the mass, and it will probably
be the end of the week before they
will be able to check up and get all
their accounts in shape.
Tuesday morning they were trying
to set their house in some sort Of or
der and bring system out of the chaos
that the previous day had wrought.
The genial trustee was smiling
though, as if nothing had happened,
and gently waived his hand at The
Herald reporter as he entered his
sanctuary. However, when the word
STORY about the amount Of the pre-
vious days receipts was mentioned
and he was asked to tell his harrow
i ing experiences, he nodded his head
and, like the raven of Poe, quoth
"Nevermore." He just said to tell as
big a one as the feeble brain of the
reporter could concoct, and then it
would not pc quite OF magnitude u
correspond with the amount that he
took in through his window the day
before.
Really he said that he had done the
largest days business that had been
done in the history Of the county
The people were unusually slow in
paying their taxes until the last day
and so the rush that resulted. He
has not had the time as yet to open
many of the letters that contain
checks from delinquent and eleventh
hour individuals who wanted to avoid
1.-The penalties that soon accrue.

PASSENGER RATE
, REDUCTIONS WON'T
HELP MUCH LOCALLY
PEOPLE OF COLUMBIA ALREADY
ENJOY TWO CENT FARES
TO NASHVILLE.
WILL Save ON POINTS SOUTH
And viii Mean a Substantial Reduc-
ton on Travel to Kentucky and Al.
ALBANIA Points Since the New Rates
Apply to Both of Those States.

Reduction Of the passenger fares
announced on Tuesday by the Louis
vile & Nashville and Nashville, Chat
tanooga & st. Louis Railroads, will
probably have less effect locally in this
section than anywhere in the state.
This is due to the fact that for the
past seven or eight years the people
of Maury county have enjoyed pas.
senger rate to Nashville of two cents
per mile on round trip tickets, good
returning the next day. These tick
cts are not, however, goon on the
through trains, but since the great
majority who go to Nashville use the
oil caatinrlC ..kPrv.Nhorfi 79O.. :.
local trains comparatively few have
paid the full fare of three cents
Those who must remain longer than
the next day at the capital of the
state have had to pay full fare. South
of Columbia on the main line and
also ON the line of the Nashville,
Chattanooga & st. Louis Railroad the
reduction will mean a real saving to
the people.
The straight fare from Columbia
to Nashville will be twenty-three
cents less than it has been when the
new rates go into effect on April l..
There will be saving of about 81 rs
on the rate from here to Louisville,
KY, and persons going south to Pu-
laski will save fifteen cents each way.
The rate to Culleoka will be round
Quarter a saving Of four cents. Per-
sons going to Alabama and Kentucky
will save a half cent on each mile
as the new rates apply to both of
these states. The same savings will
be made on the N, C. & st. l.. to
Chattanooga and points between the
city and Columbia. Whether or not
the reduction of the rate will mean
an increase of travel is a problem
about which there is difference of
opinion. 1t is certain, however, for
the reasons mentioned that the
change will not effect the local traffic
between Columbia and Nashville.

AUTHOR SCORES
MUCK-RAKERS
John Kendrick Bangs Speaks
: Before Wednesday Club at
the Washington.

John kendrick Bangs severely criti-
cised the undertaking magazines in
an address delivered at the annual
ladies' night of the Wednesday Club
in the Washington restaurant last
atenight. He asserted the indiscrem-
inaet attacks of the undertaking
writer's had done much to destroy
public confidence in men who have
achieved prominence. In the TWEEN
ty-flve years of his literary life, he
said, he had found few men who had
gained renown by fraud or trickery.
Literary men, he said, had suffered
as well as statesmen.
He thought that Richard Harding
Davis had probably suffered the most
from this unnecessary undertaking.
Mr.. Davis, he stated, had been paint
ed as a cold-hearted literary snob;
yet he said he had known him to draw
$500 of his royalty at Harper's and
spend the entire sum in providing
Christmas gifts for children in the
tenements of New York city. He said
that Rudyard Kipling was not the
boor that some writers said he was,
or that his literary powers were wan
ing.
Some of the fifteetn- cent magazines,
he declared were not fit to come into
the home without being fumigated
and said he himself made it a rule
never to write a line which his wife
or children could not read. His ad-
dress sparkled with humor and when
he was not attacking the muck-rak-
ers, had his audience in almost a
continuous roar of laughter.
In concluding he recited two bits
of his own verse including 1.-The Salu-
brity's Motto"
The guests numbered $50 After
the serving of a fine menu there was
a short musical program which pre-
coded the address. 1t was given by
Miss Myrtle Thornburgh and How
ard V. Pascal She sang a solo, "a
Birthday" by Woodman. His num-
Der was, my Snowy Breasted PEARL"
Robinson, and being encored gave.
"The Last Rose of Summer" and by
request sang "Silver Threads Among
the Gold" A duet, 1T Was a Lover
and A Lass" Walthem, was then
sNg by them. J. Henry Huntington
was the accompanist.

TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed with Sulphur II
Darkens so Naturally
Nobody can Tell.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray.
streaked and faded hair is grand
mothers treatment, and folks are
again using 1t to keep their hair a
good even color, which is quite
sensible, as We are living in an age
when a youthful appearance is of the
greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task of gathering

so cents a bottle. 1t is very popular
because nobody can discover II has
been applied. Simply moisten your
comb or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time; by morning
the gray hair disappears but wat
delights the ladies' with Wyeth's Sage
and sulphur is that, besides 5eauti-
fully darkening the hair after Il few
applications, it also produces that
soft lustre and appearance of abund-
ance which is so attractive; besides,
prevents dandruff, itching scalp and
falling hair.
