The DAILY HERALD
IS FIFTEEN YEARS
OLD ON THIS DAY
THIS PAPER WAS BORN ON THE
THIRD DAY OF OCTOBER,
1899.

saturdays Daily.)

Fifteen years ago today The Daily
Herald was born. 1t has been pub
lished every day since except Sun
days, Thanksgiving and Christmas
and during its early life Fourths of
July. 1t is an institution now, but it
had doubtful beginning.
The first issue of The Daily Her
aid appeared on Tuesday, October 8,
1899. 1t was four page, five column
paper. The first and last pages OF
No. of Vol. / was of plate, or pot
metal. The paper then had no regu-
lar form of make up" it had no tel
egraphic service, no specials and car
ried very little news while it was
news.
The only local" story of the fist
issue that had scare" head was
the report of the meeting of the coLn-
ty court at which it was ascertained
that the county's debt was $3.50.
Most of the other items were person
ais or received only one line head.
Advertising was not quite as liber-
al then as it is now either. The fol-
| owing firms carried advertisements
in the first issue: McKennon, An
derson & Foster, J. Rosenthal, Satter-
field & Dodson, Woodbridge & Irvine,
Farmers & Merchants Bank, Maury
National Bank, Dobbins & Ewing and
T. N. Figuers. The successors of
most of these firms are still regular
patrons of the advertising columns of
The Daily Herald. The only firm
that advertised then that has not
changed its name is the Maury Ma
tional Bank. Dobbins & Ewing, T. N.
Figuers and the Farmers & Msr-
chants Bank have all retired.
The editorials consisted of a por-
ton of one column of brief para
graphs. A continued plate story was
the feature of the fourth page. The
chief social item was the ann ounce
ment that Jake Harlan and Miss Myr-
tie Elizabeth Barker would marry on
Oct. 10.
At the mast head" of the first num-
Der appeared the name of F. D. an
der, editor, and Bruce Tucker, city
editor.
Today The Daily Herald uses no
plate" at all. Every line of it Is
strictly live" matter. The news IL
published while it is news. Its pages
in general appearance and make up
will compare with those of any paper
IN the South published in city of
10000 population. 1t publishes daily
the service of the International News
service, which has wires and cores
pondents in every quarter of the
globe Its Nashville service keeps it
in touch with the happenings of the
state. It's circulation is steadily
growing and it is today greater pow
or than it has ever been.

The Mt. Pleasant Record was sold
at public auction Friday afternoon to
r. M. Bullock, of Mt. Pleasant, for
$1,50e.
The sale was made to satisfy the
claims of several creditors against
the paper. 1t is said that Mr.. Bull
lock was acting in the interest of his
brother-in-law, who will come from
Oklahoma to run the paper.
The paper has been in the hands of
trustee, L. H. Hammond, for the
past two or three months, and has
been opera ted under a lease by C.
T. Crawford, Of Lawrenceburg, the
editor of the Lawrence Democrat It
has been quite prosperous under his
management.
There were only two bidders upon
the property, Mr.. Bullock and par
ty of Mt. Pleasant gentlemen, headed
by Percy S. Chandler, who had in
tended to form a stock company to
run it. However, they quit when
they bid $1,450, Mr.. Bullock raising
it to $1,000, at which figure the paper
was knocked off to him.
The paper has had quite varied
career. 1t was established by M. B.
Young, who ran it for several years.
He then leased it to Joe W. Cooper,
formerly of The Herald force, under
whose management it stayed for
about six months The paper got
badly in debt and the creditors threw
it into the hands of L. H. Hammond,
who has conducted it for the past
three months. 1t has a wide circula-
ton among the people in the western
end of the county and enjoys a liber-
al amount of advertising in the town
Of Mt. Pleasant.

PAST QUADREKEUM
MOST SUCCESSFUL IN
HISTORY Of CHURCH
DR.. HAGGARD CLOSED OUT FOUR
YEARS OF SERVICE AT FIRST
METHODIST.
REPORTS FROM ALL OFFICERS
Church Closed the Year Without a
Cent of Indebtedness Upon 1t.
Over $4,000 Has Been Collected
and Spent in the Four Years.

The closing service Sunday night
of DR.. Haggard's quadrennium at the
First Methodist church was one of
the most enjoyable that has ever been
held in this magnificent church.
There was no preaching, but the
whole time was devoted to song
service and the hearing Of reports
from all the officers of the church.
One of the largest crowds that has
ever been in attendance at the church
was present. Not only the members
of the church, but also many from
other churches came as a tribute to
Dr.. Haggard.
Short reports were made by George
Hayes, Jr., G. T. Hughes, W. P.
Boyd, E. P. Turner, H. P. Figuers, J..
H. Dining and H. c. Hendley.
In introducing George Hayes, Jr.
secretary of the board of stewards,
DR.. Haggard paid tribute to him as
the most efficient church secretary
that he had ever seen in his whole
career. Mr.. Hayes gave an itemized
account of the collections and dis
bursements of the church during the
past year, showing a slight balance
for the coming year.
George T. Hughes, speaking on the
Sunday school, said that the work the
past year had been most satisfactory.
A total of 312 live active members
had been enrolled and on an aver
age 175 or $50 of these had been in
attendance each Sunday. The ages
ran from three years up to nearly
eighty. He stated that the roll of the
older peoples class numbered 103,
and that an average of about sixty of
them came every Sunday.
One of the most encouraging re-
ports was made by E. P. Turner,
chairman Of the board of stewards.
He stated that the church was now
without a cent of Indebtedness. Two
notes in the bank had been paid off,

decided to call the committee to meet
September oath.
AT the meeting of the committee,
after a full discussion of the situa-
ton, it appeared that the committee
was almost unanimous in the opin-
ion that the league should remain
neutral in the governors race. But
when the question of issuing state
ment of the leagues position and its
reasons for so doing came up for con.
sideration a majority of the commit
tee was opposed to any declaration
being made and acted accordingly.
After the action of the commit
tee in declining to make public
statement of neutrality, which to my
mind we were under obligations to
do, in order to effectively establish
the leagues claim of non-partisan-
ship, and after careful and prayer
full consideration, could see no other
course wherein l could act conscien-
tiously but to sever my official con-
nection with the league"
In his statement Mr.. Hamilton
says that when the league decided to
ask the questions that it did of Rye
and Hooper there was some opposi.
ton, some of the members contend
ing that if Rye answered in the affirm
alive it might hurt Hooper. This
shows that at least with some of the
members of the league Hooper was
paramount to temperance.

KUEHNLE PARDON

Atlantic City Approves Release
of Its Former Republican
Leader.

ATLANTIC CITY, April 15.--
Commodore pardoned!' A remark
able manifestation OF public approval
coursed through the city, and, in
fact, the whole State, last night and
today when the word flashed over the
wire from Trenton that the State
Board of Pardons had granted not a
parole, but an unconditional pardon
to Louis Kuenhle, for sixteen years
political dictator of Atlantic City.
Children heard the news on the
streets and ran home to tell their
parents. References to it in the the
atres were applauded. Politicians
who had been Kuehnle's fright
bowers" before he was caught IN the
meshes of the law openly rejoiced.
Men came from all parts of the
city to the famous Corner" where
Kuehnle had his headquarters and
passed out his orders to counciImen
and corporations for so many years,
to talk over what they called the
good news from Trenton. There was
talk also of an ovation for the big
boss" when he steps out Of iail on
June l, but this may not come to
pass, for Kuehnle is said to have
other plans.
Little interest was manifested in
the fact that eX-County Engineer
Estel D. Rightmire and ex-Freehold-
ers John Unsworth and Frank En-
derlein, who We're convicted of graft
