UNIQUE RECORD
OF GRAND JURY
THAT MADE BY THE RECENT
BODY IN MAURY COUNTY DE.
SERVES EMULATION.

There were features about the re-
cent grand jury in Maury county that
probably make it unique among bod
les of that character that have been
empanelled and served in the history
of the county. The foreman, T. L.
Porter, one of the best citizens of the
county, is eighty years of age. It
was his first jury experience. In fact
the four weeks pay that he received
for his services was the first money
that he ever drew from the county.
Mr.. Porter is a son of Nimrod Porter,
who served this county in it's early
days as sheriff for more than a quar-.
ter of a century. His record has prob
ably never been surpassed in the
state.
Not only did the grand jury have a
venerable foreman, but it was COM
posed of high class, Christian gentle
men and the foreman is authority for
the statement that in all the four
weeks deliberations of the jury not a
single oath was heard, not a single
smutty yarn was related and nothing
was said that could not with perfect
propriety have ben spoken in the
salon of the most refined lady in Dix.
ie. During all this time there was
not the slightest suggestion of liquor
nor was liquor upon the breath of a
member of the jury. And more re-
markable than all this, right here in
Maury county, where the people love
dearly to talk politics, it is stated that
never once was the question of poll
tics mentioned.

money and, except for the money he

money and, except for the money he
found, insolvent.
+ He therefore, claims that Jones is
indebted to him in the sum Of $3.50,
Of which $4,000 is due him for aid
in keeping the money in accordance
with their contract, $500 for the
horse, which he bought of him, and
$50 for the loan that he made him.
To collect this sum Gordon prays
the chancellor to issue a writ of at
tachment upon the money deposited
in the Phoenix National Bank, the
Phoenix Savings Bank & Trust Co.,
and with H. O. Fulton, individually;
to require H. o. Fulton, as cashier, to
answer to the court what money has
been deposited by Jones since Janua-
ry 1, 1914, and what has been done
with it; and to attach all property of
Jones upon the bank as a garnishee.
After the filing of the bill the writ
was promptly served upon Henry o.
Fulton, but he declined to answer the
allegations of the bill until the con-
vening of the chancery court in April.
1t is said that Jones has skipped
the country. What this means has
been interpreted in different ways.
Some think that he withdrew the
money before he left and that he has
gone to parts unknown to dispose of
it. They say that he was afraid that
his family might want to get part of
it, that he did not want to divide with
Gordon, and therefore seeing the
storm that was going to break, he hied
himself to some large city where he
would not be known. Others think
that the money is really in the Phoe-
nix Bank, while still other think that
it is on deposit in the other banks of
the city.
Wherever 1t be, at least it is an
established fact that the money was
found, and that there was over $780,
600 of it. Two acts of the stirring
drama have ben played. The third
and probably final one will be staged
in the chancery court when it con.
venes in April and Mr.. Fulton an
swers whether the money is in his
possession.

HOME ". 0. GORDON
BURNS TO GROUND
REPORTED THAT, IT Is A TOTAL
LOSS AND NOTHING WAS
SAVED.

Soon after noon Saturday, the home
OF Judge w. o. Gordon near Darks
Mills caught fire and was burned to
the ground. 1t is thought that the
fire originated in the kitchen and
spread to the roof where it gained
such Roadway that 1t was impossible
to put it out 1t burned to the ground.
1t is not known whether there was
any insurance.

farm where the money was found.
Jones, still fearing detection, thought
it best to take up the money and car
ry it there. They placed the jars in a
trunk and carried them to Gordon's
home, arriving there late in the after
noon. They guarded them in the
house jointly during the night. The
next morning they buried one in the
stable and the other in the cellar IN
der the house.
Gordon then states in the bill that
he guarded the money zealously until
about two weeks ago, when, without
the knowledge or consent Of himself,
Jones secretly and surreptitiously dug
up all the money, brought 1t to Column
bia, and deposited it in the Phoenix
bank, placing some on general depos-
it in the National Bank, some in the
savings department of the bank. and
the rest in the care of H. o. Fulton
Individually.
Gordon charges, Furthermore, that
Jones, who was of suspicious ma
ture, and who was poor and never
had money, was very anxious, while
the money was in the compliments
possession, lest some one might set
up false claim of Identification, and
that feeling confidence in his integrity
and ability, he placed it in his care
for that reason. He states that Jones
was exceedingly anxious and timid
about the money, and that even the
members of his own family gave him
great uneasiness lest they should
take it from him by force. He was
also afraid to trust it to any bank or
individual, except the complainant,
Gordon, or his uncle, T. Ed Gordon,
of Columbia.
He states, furthermore, that Jones
did place in the Maury National Bank
of Columbia box, purporting to hold
the money, but that the latter was al
ways in his possession. He and Jones
at one time planned to 60 with T. Ed
Gordon, Of Columbia, to some large
city to dispose of and pass off the
money for some new currency, but
Jones was SO harassed by his fami-
ly that he finally backed out.
Gordon declares, furthermore, in
the bill that he sold Jones a horse for
5000. The latter rode it until it be-
came poor, and then returned 1t to
him, saying that he would not need
it. He also loaned him $50 for ex-
penses, as Jones was utterly without

the criminal court Wednesday when
H. l.. Johnson, a motorman Of the

FIVE years ago. While the technical
plea of the defense was self-defense,

tackled him with a shovel, 1t was al
legged that there was an intimacy be-
tween Lynch and the wife Of the de-

AN OBSERVING BUSINESS MAN

EsTS CAN BE BOOSTED.

To the Editor of The Herald.
Having read the article in Satur.
days issue, regarding the peddlers in
Columbia with much interest, allow
me to suggest a solution of this mat.
ter.
am of the opinion that If the mer
chants, bankers, lawyers, doctors and
preachers (all of whom make their
living in Columbia) would practice
what they preach" by all spending
their money in Columbia, it would
set an example for the other fellow
or laboring class to follow. It is nat.
ural for the clerk or employe to send
off for his or her goods, when they
notice their employer doing the same
thing-for goods that can be bought
in Columbia for the same money, and
in lots of cases for less, and just as
good as in any city.
The impression seems to be formed
by some of the citizens Of this place
that what they have is good enough
for anybody, but what their neighbor
has is not good enough for them"
Now until you get this false idea
out of your head, you may look for
outside competition, that does not
pay anything to do business in the
city.
Most of you have the reason that
the writer heard prominent business
man give some time ago: 1.-THE laun-
dries here give me just as good salts
faction as Nashville, but I have been
sending my work to Nashville for SO
long that l have got in the habit and
prefer to send it there just on that
account"
Now If you merchants, bankers,
lawyers, doctors and others want all
that is coming to them from the citi-
zens of Columbia get out of this "hab-
it"-get the idea that Columbia has
the best people, the best Of every
thing, and that you are going to help
make bigger and better Columbia
by spending all your money in Co.
lumbia. Don't only think it-talk it,
tell everybody, and by and by you will
yourself think so, and set an example
for the other fellow to follow.
Spend your money at home, and III
a short while you will have a city
that you will be proud OF. When your
merchant does not have what you
want exactly, tell him about it, and
he will get 1t for you as cheap as
you can get 1t by ordering it yourself,
and if the article is not quite salts.
factory to you he cheerfully refunds
your money.
Get together, help your neighbor,
for he in turn helps you, and the best
way to get together is to spend all
your money in Columbia, for of each
dollar spent in Columbia a part stays
here, and no dollar spent out of Co.
lumbia ever gets back Think 1t over.

This was the unanimous verdict

was a critical audience, too, one that
was capable of discerning a good

From the time that she entered in the
first act to the fall Of the curtain in /

every one upon herself. How Jane
Cowl, the original Mary Turner or
Mary Joel, who played the part in
Nashville, could have surpassed her,
is hard to see. Possessed of mag.
nificent stage presence, of pleasing
voice, and of great histrionic ability,
she measured up to the height of all /
the requirements of a really great &C.
tress. How she could have gotten
more out of the role than she did is /
impossible to see. In the opening
act in which he denounced Richard
Glider for sending her to the peniten.

ing of Richard Glider took place and
the killing of Griggs occurred, in the
final scene in the Office of inspector
Burke in which she engaged in COM II
bat of wits with the police officials
she reached the lofty heights of true
acting. All were trying scenes, re
quiring change of moods, running 4
from the amusing to the sublime, and 4
ranging the whole gamut of human \
emotions.
Miss Frances Randolph, as Agnes \
Lynch. drews rounds of applause
from the audience by the exceeding
ly admirable manner in which she act
ed the role of a soubrette. The way
in which she handled her slang would
have made a typical newsboy look
like piece of green cheese. She gave
the humorous side Of the play.
Gordon Gunniss, in the role Of
Richard Glider, Joseph Cusack, as bis
son, Edward Glider, Anthony Andree,
in the part of Joe Carson, these and
the rest of the company gave fine eT

quire too much space to enumerate
and carefully describe their respec
tive roles and the admirable manner
in which they acted them.

You seem to have failed wholly

She has always been delicate, and we
have always tried to keep from her
any needless irritation or excitement.
That you should have let her start

a lack of consideration on your part.

CHRIST'S LIFE WAS AN
EXAMPLE OF THE TRUTH
Was Net Influenced by the Opinions
of Men, Says Rev. c. A.
Lippincott-

That the wonderful personality Of
Christ is the essential element Of
christianity was the statement Of Rev.
c. A. Lippincott in his morning ser
mon at the First Presbyterian church
Sunday. To prove this he took as his
text, Christ, the Way, the Life and
the Truth"
Christ was the truth, said the
speaker, not alone because he spoke
the truth but because he lived the
truth and made his life an example
of the truth. And his life was an eX-
ample of the truth because he lived
his own true life, not following every
within and flutter OF public opinion.
He knew the truth about God and was
the revelation of God TO man.
He was the way because he was the
life and the truth. Man needs TO
know the way and once knowing the
way he needs a vigorous intellect and
a resolute soul to follow il. Christ
came to point out the way and to give
man the strength TO follow it to sal
walton and heaven.

MONTH OF JULY
WAS SOME DRY
Less Rain Fell Than During Any
Same Period During the Last
Twenty Years.

Less rain fell during month of July
just passed. than any July for the last
twenty years according to Weather
Observer Henry Swain. A fall of but
SO inches was reported during the
month while the mean average fall
for July should be about 3.6 inches.
The heaviest rainfall during July was
toward the latter part of the month
when in an early morning shower .2S
inches fell. Previous TO this but .3S
inches had fallen and three showers
were required to raise it that high.
The highest record for July ever re-
ported was in 1896 when 7.54 inches
fell.
Despite the light rainfall in South
Bend, the city was the most fortunate
in the northern and central parts
of Indiana. Crops here are suffering
greatly but reports have drifted in
from Indianapolis and cities farther
south that the crops are nearly burnt
for lack Of rain. Northern Michigan
seems to be suffering also.
With the thermometer registering
81 on two consecutive days July takes
it's stand with the warmer preceding
months which have reached high
marks, although she is six degrees be-
hind the hottest July in 20 years. On
July 29, the mercury dropped to 81
degrees early in the morning, and the
mean average temperature for the
month was 1872. about 2.1 higher than
the normal temperature for this
