Z. c. WALKER LEAVES BEHIND
LARGE BUNCH OF DEBTS
AND BAD CHECKS.

E. C. Walker, who las been con-
ducting a livery and feed stable on
North Main strest, has skipped from
the city, leaving a buIch of disap-
pointed creditors behind him. 1t is
said that he departed for parts un.
known Saturday.
Monday afternoon the Columbia
Bank & Trust Company, which held
a mortgage on his horses, buggies
and other livery effects, for $3.50.
asked Chancellor Bearden for writ
of attachment upon the property that
he left behind at the stable. It was
granted at once by Judge Turner,
who happened to be in the city at the
time. The writ prays that the three
horses, several buggies, two stoves,
and other livery accessories be sold
to satisfy the mortgage held by the
bank upon them.
Before leaving, Walker is said to
have gotten checks aggregating al
most 5000 cashed. Two we're for $40
each, another for $50, while fourth
was for over 500.

TWISTING OF LIONS
TAIL WOULD NOT Be
POPULAR HERE.NOW
SYMPATHY OF PEOPLE OF THIS
SECTION Is LARGELY WITH
ENGLAND.
THINK GERMANY The AGGRESSOR
War Bulletins of The Herald Are Ea-
gerIy Scanned and Conflict Takes
Precedence for Present Over the
Election.

There have been times when twist
ing the Lions tail was one of the fa-
vorite diversions of the politicians In
these parts. The candidate for Of
flee who could make himself handiest
at shouting defiance of England was
generally mighty popular.
But that day is gone; it is not here
now anyway. If the people of Maury
county had voice in the settlement
of the European war the British Lion
would dictate absolutely the terms of
peace. There is no sign of or express
sion of sympathy for Germany around
the newspaper Office or the bulletin
boards.
For the present and in spite of the
fact that tomorrow will mark the
close of red hot campaign for coun-
ty offices, the war news holds the
boards. 1t has taken the place of the
political talk. There is much more
heard now about Germany and
France and England and armies and
navies than there is about the proba-
BILE vote at Rally Hill or the poll at
Enterprise or the munitions Of war
that will be furnished by the candi-
dates in the election.
The Herald's bulletin board Is ca
gerly sought. Around it all day there
is a crowd of eager readers. Every
bit of news from the seats Of war is
eagerly scanned. Everything indicat-
ing success for the French arms Is
applauded. The hope is universal
that old England will 60 to the res.
cue Of her Latin neighbor across the
sea and that together they will march
on to Berlin and restore to France
the provinces Of Alsace and Lorraine
wrested from her in the Franco-Prus-
sian war Of 1870.
Blood is truly thicker than war.
While there is a general feeling that
Germany has been the aggressor and
i is responsible for the continent-wide
war and should therefore be punish
ed, it is England's interest that awak-
ems the sympathies of the people Of
this country. They stand for the peo-
: pie who speak the language that
Shakespeare spake and hold the NOR.
ais that Milton held"

The locals made it two straight
Tuesday afternoon when they took
the second of the series with the
Nashville All-Stars ny the score of
II to 5.
The game was rather ragged 1t
started off somewhat like the / to 0
thriller of the day previous, but in
the fifth the locals got to Pugh, who
was doing the hurling for the visit
ors, and counted six runs on four hits
before the frame WIS over. Up to
that session the All.S:ars had a 3 to
! edge. To cinch the game, four
more were added in the seventh on
three hits, a wild pitch, an error, and
a base on balls.
In only two innings did the visitors
do much with the offerings of Rube
Marshall. In the fourth they tapped
him pretty lively, getting four clean
singles. 1t seemed for a time that
this was going to lie enough to win
the game, but In the following ses-
sion Pugh took his ascension, and
from then until the last man was out
in the ninth. there was little doubt
of the outcome. He was relieved in
the seventh after Rogers had hit for
three bags to left field. scoring two
men ahead of him. Klooz, the stock
Teuton shortstop, was sent in to re-
lieve him.
The first run Of the locals was scor-
ed on homer by Murk Burns to
right field. The big guardian Of the
initial bag picked out one to his lik-
ing. gave it lusty ,hwack with his

the dump into the river. In token of

Carry Only Fast, Through Traffic,
Which Cannot Be Subjected to the
DELAYS Now Incident to Travel. -.

The building of the new Lewisburg
g. Northern Railroad will not affect
Columbia traffic in the least.
There has been a great deal Of ap-
prehension expressed in the city that
some of the passenger trains on the
line through here would be taken OF
and put upon the new division. Ac-
cording to the railroad man, who
gave out the information in regard
to the changes which have been dis.
cussed, this is mistake. None OF
the passenger trains, even the
through train, which goes north at
1.27 in the morning or the fast south
bound passenger train, which passes
through here at 400 a. m, will be
taken off this road. They will be
kept on at their regular schedule
times. This line from Nashville to
Decatur will continue to haul the
same traffic and the same freight that
1t has in the past.
The new road through Lewisburg,
about which there has been SO much
discussion and Growing on the part OF
the Marshall countians, will be used
for through freight, which comes
from a distance and which must not
be subjected to the delays, which are
Incident to shipping on the already
oyercrowded Nashville and Decatur
branch. It is simply to relieve the
congestion which now prevails IN
this branch.
There has been much talk about
the damage that would be done to
Columbia as a result Of the building
Of the new line. It has been more
In the mind Of few boosters for
Lewisburg than having any real basis
for credibility. It has been said that
all Of the fast trains would be taken
Of Of this line and transferred to the
other division. Yet it has been some
weeks since It has been open for traf'
fc and none have yet been transfer
red.
The day is yet somewhat distant
when Columbia will be a mere cross
ing at which few decrepit trains
will whistle as they pass through, and
Lewisburg will become the great cen
ter Of the southbound trafic OF The
Louisville & Nashville road.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. The
clearing house association OF Nash
vile has given notice that Nashville
loans will be placed on the same ba-
sis as during the panic of 1907. Clear
ing house certificates will be issued
and depositors will be allowed to
withdraw only ten per cent of their
deposits on proper notice.
The action was taken in line with
that of Memphis, and other Southern
cities, which have resorted to the
certificate basis in order 10 avoid the
withdrawal of eheir deposits too rap
idly by depositors.
The certificate basis was adopted
only after full meeting of the bank
ers of the city a, the clearing house
and discussion Of the bes. way to
proceed in handling the finances of
this section. 1. Is not known how
long the clearing house certificates
will have to be used, but :t is hoped
that this expedient will be only tenn
parary, as the government has over
a billion in bank notes in the treasu-
ry at Washington. 1t Is believed
that as soon rs some Of this can
reach here, the tension will be reliev'
ed and the regular payment Of depos.
itors can proceed.
