BACK BONE MAURY
DROUTH BROKEN
NEARLY EVERY SECTION OF
COUNTY 10 VISITED BY RE.
FREsHlNo RAINS.

Shortly after the noon hour today
the four weeks drouth in Maury
county was broken. Rain began to
fall and for almost two hours there
was continuous downpour.
News comes from all sections Of
the county stating that splendid rains
had fallen. At Culleoka there was
heavy rain, also at Mt. Pleasant, but
at Ashwood, half way between Co
lumbia and Mt. Pleasant, It only
sprinkled. North and northwest,
good rains fell, and the same is the
case in the eastern section OF the
county.
Coming as it did means thousands
of dollars to the potato and oats
crops and to grass. While corn was
not hurt, it was beginning to feel the
scorching rays Of old Sol, and was
pulling stoutly for substance from the
fast drying soil.

FLORIDA'S PRIMARY
A WILSON VICTORY

WASHINGTON, D. G., June A.
Claude L'Engle, congressman at
large, was the only member of the
Florida congressional delegation to
suffer defeat in the primary Tuesday.
L'Engle was the only Floridan in con-
gress to actively oppose the admins
tration on the Panama tolls question.
He made an issue of the question in
the primary, circulated thousands Of
speeches he delivered in the house
against the repeal and tailed the tick
ct in his congressional district.
The state of Florida has more coast
line than any state touching the At
lantic ocean, and is vitality interest
ed in shipping. The question Of a
free tolls subsidy FOR shipping, there
fore, was lively ISSUE, vet Senator
Fletcher, as every member of the
congressional delegation opposed to
the subsidy were returned by splen-
did majorities.

ature Was Very varyable.

According to the meteorological re-
port Of the government observer at
Ashwood, the thermometer reached
So degrees on May rs. This is the
high record for the month of May for
the past several years. The mercu-
ry ran up above the ninety mark NO
less than seven times in the past
month.
AS will hardly be necessary to state,
the rainfall was way below normal.
Only 1852 inches fell during the en-.
tire thirty-one days. The days on
which 1t fell were May A. and 8. The
precipitation on the first and last
days was SO slight as to be almost
negligible. The normal rainfall for
the month Of May Is 500 inches. By
comparison, it will be seen that IL
was less than half for the May just
past In 1907, the rainfall was 7.62
inches, very unusual amount for the
season Of the year. Two years ago
however, it was even less than this
year, for only 1.53 inches fell. This
was the least amount recorded in the
past ten years.
! The temperature for May was very
variable, ranging rom SO degrees as
maximum on May Is, as has beer
stated above, down to 80 degrees on
May Is, the minimum for the month
For the whole month, however. 1t was
about normal, the mean being 66.9 de
grees, as compared with ten year
average of 67.6 degrees for this
month.
/ May was an exceptionally pretty
month. There were no less than
eighteen of the thirty-cne days on
which the sun shone the whole day
long. There was not the sign Of a
cloud to mar the brightness Of the
skies. There we're eight partly
cloudy days Five on which the sur
did not show at all, and three days
on which there was rainfall.
The month was a very fine one fol-
the growing crops. Farmers by rea
son of the dry weather had their
crops in splendid condition by June.

time, there would have been one OF
the largest yields that there has been

school.
Practically all Of the cadets who
did not graduate this year, will re-
turn in the fall All returned home
with the intention Of bringing back
several boys with them. There was
not one who was net satisfied with
the school and the teachers. This
certainly speaks N eloquent terms Of
its management, as there are general
ly q few boys who are discontinued
and go away in bad mood.
t An active canvass will be made
during the summer for new pupils.
Several men will go on the road to
olicit students. 1t is the intention
of Col. Weber to have every room fill
ed when the fall term opens. He is
going to spare neither pains nor ex-
pense to accomplish this end.
The new catalogue will be out by
the middle Of the month. 1t is said
to be even larger and more elaborate
than last years, which many have re-
garded as about the last word in a
school catalogue.
1 Col. Spearing has not yet announc-
ed the faculty of the school, but will
do so shortly. A majority of the old
teachers will be back, however.

PRESBYTERIAN LADIES MEET.
Very Enjoyable Affair Was Held and
Many We're Present.

The a1l-day session of the Presby-
terrain LADIES in their church assembly
rooms last Tuesday proved a very en-
joyable affair. 1t was their first at
tempt in what has been so popular in
many churches OF larger pretensions.
1t was most gratifying to meet with
such ready reponse in the eatables
given, and the presence Of not only
our own ladies but large number of
friends of our society.
AT noon we were all ushered into
the large dining hall to partake of a
most appetizing and thoroughly enjoy
able dinner, to which all did full JUS
tice. Covers were laid for one hun
bred, not including small children.
Too much praise can not be given
our social committee for their most
executive ability and general
in the feeding and caring
for so many.
Our thanks are due to those who so

generously responded to the call when
solicited, as indeed, they always do.
The business session began at elev-
en- o'clock, at which time the new Of
ficers were given their authority and
all annual reports we're read and act
ed upon, the most important of these
being the treasurer's report which, in
a condensed form, shows that we have
received the sum total of $515.49. OF
that sum $34231 has been given to
missions.
Following the annual meeting, the
missionary department gave short
program led by Miss Margaret Reed
er, with Bible lesson and prayer, Mrs.
Schick gave short sketch Of the
last Presbyterial, to which she was
sent as a delegate. Mrs. J. N. Clarke
was reelected president of the Pres
byterial. A map talk which was to
have been given by Mrs. Clarke was
postponed until another meeting, ow-
ing to the lateness of the hour. The
afternoon closed with a solo on the
pipe organ, which fact always be-
speaks a treat for the audience.

of exertion being rewarded by the sue
cessful pursuit of one coyote. The
bracing air, the excitement of the dogs,

Piano Work Good.
Something worth while should be
said of the gracious manner and ac-
commodating spirit being shown by
the various members of the musical
faculty in their help in putting on such
tremendous work as the opera Mi
kado. This could not have been pos
sible without the cooperation and
friendly interest of Miss Fay Hostetter,
head of the piano department of the
university. The work is in addition to
all her other arduous duties and it
is indeed fortunate that she can spare

which necessarily comes to the pianist
of the orchestra. Her beautiful tone,
exquisite artistry and true musical
worth are welcome help to the COM

PENSION PAYMENTS
ARE DUE FOR SLUMP
UNLESS FURTHER CHANGES ARE
MADE TO ADD NEW NAMES
TO ROLL IN GEORGIA.
OLD HEROES ARE DYING FAST

During the Past Year the Death Rate
Has Been More Than Eight Per
Cent, or 1921 Out OF Total Roll
of Nearly 10000.
ATLANTA.-Unless chnges are
made to add names to the state pen
sion. rolls, it is expected that the
slump in pension payments will begin
after this year. During the past
year the death rate has gone to s IA
per cent, or a loss of 1921 out of a
total roll of nearly 10000.
In the payment of pensioners this
year it became necessary to leave OF
the rolls 74S names added for the
first time, the governor advising that
it would not be right to make those
long on the rolls wait.
Therefore Pension Commissioner
Lindsey will ask the legislature to
appropriate $4,000 to pay these
claims. 1t is believed that unless
additional classes are added to the
rolls that this will probably be the
last year extra money will be re-
quested and that from now on the
amount needed annually will de-
crease.
Captain Lindsey says that if he had
full authority to employ an investi-
gator that the rolls could be purged
of scores of fraudulent pensioners,
there being no way now of detecting
them. During the last year he found
10 on the rolls who had been draw
ing money from the state for years
who we're not entitled to it. He did
this through the compilations Of the
roster commission and his personal
investigations. If the roster COM
mission could ever secure the Geor-
gia rolls from the war department
many frauds could be detected.
The commissioner urges the Iegls-
lature to pass a bill giving him au-
thority to employ an investigator SO
the rolls can be purged. He thinks
that it should be a roll of nonor ana
freed of faint of this kind.

Man Who Hunted 1t in Mexico Saws
Plenty of 1t in This State.

enough in those hills to buy all of
