the only thing that will prevent it's
receiving an overwhelming affirma-
tive vote will be that people do not
understand the needs of the schools.
They seem to think it simply another
effort by few to saddle a big debt
on them and to raise their taxes.
"As for the latter argument, that it
will raise the taxes of those owning
property, perhaps it will clarity the
situation to say that the ordinance
does not provide for the payment or
the proposed amount at once, for it
will not fall due until 1914, when
most of those who would receive ben
efits under the proposed school, would
have to shoulder the burden. This
is right and as it should be. All that
would be required Of the present gen.
Grafton would be the payment of the
interest at 5 per cent on $4,000,
which would amount to $3.50 per
annum. Even if this was not taken
care of by sinking fund, it could
not add very much to the tax rate"

Maxwell House in Nashville on next
Friday, March q, for the purpose Of

is probable that at this meeting some
steps will be taken to provide plan
for the nomination of a candidate for

the members of the committee have
repented of their folly of two years
ago in, prescribing rules and regula-
lions that resulted in the defeat Of
their nominee by majority of nearly
5000 and that plans that will be more
acceptable to the democrats will be

IS SURVIVED BY
MANY DESCENDANTS
END COMES TO MRS. j. T. DERRY.
BERRY AT THE RIPE OLD AGE
OF ElGHTY-SEvEN YEARS,

Mrs. Carmelia Derryberry, widow
of the late John T. Derryberry, died
early this morning as the result of in
juries received in a fall several weeks
ago. Mrs. Derryberry was eighty-sev-
en- years of age and almost all of her
life had enjoyed remarkably good
health and took a lively interest in
the things Of life until the hour of
her death. She lived almost all of
her life near Lasea Christian church,
of which for more than seventy years
she had been devout and faithful
member. She was known as the moth
er of the church, having joined it not
long after its organization.
! Mrs. Derryberry was the mother of
thirteen children, all of whom are liv.
ing. Her living children, grand-chil-
dren and greatgrand-children number
143, which is perhaps the largest
number of living descendants left by
any person dying in this county in
many years. The following children
survive her: P. L. Derryberry, of
| Columbia; Ross Derryberry, with
whom Mrs Derryberry lived; Elder
Wilbur Derryberry, of Athens, Ala;
Fonzy Derryberry, of Birmingham;
Elder A. s. Derryberry and Columbus
Derryberry, of Nashville; John and
Eph Derryberry, of Wichita, Texas;
and ]. D. Derryberry, of Henderson;
Mrs. S. T. Hardison and Mrs. Max
iKnnard, of Nashville; Mrs. Jennie
Lockridge, of Williamson county, and
Miss Cammie Derryberry, of this
county.
In every relation of life Mrs. Derry
berry did her whole duty. She was a
good wife, consistent Christian and
a devoted mother.
The funeral services were conduct
ed at the residence near Lasea at 2
o'clock this afternoon by Elder L. c.
Green and the interment took place

WILSON IS Baking

SUFFRAGiST DECLARES HE Isl
MERELY PUTTING OFF "MIL.
iENIUM OF DEMOCRACY"

NEW HAVEN, Conn, March 90
President Wilson is baking on the
woman suffrage question, and by so
doing is merely putting off the millen-
INN in democracy, declared DR.. Anna
Shaw, president of the nation
al American Woman Suffrage Associ-
alton, speaking to Yale students and
Connecticut suffrage leaders.
Men generally cannot give reasons
for their opposition to the suffrage
question" said DR.. Shaw. "They
hunt for excuses. When you come
face to face with the members of con.
gress today, with President Wilson
and the other big men in the govern
ment, they seek excuses, balk and lay
it on the constitution, their party
platform or to the fact that men are
men and women are women-the best
arguments the anti-suffragists have"

nah," who Built De Ark" or Loves
Own" Toward the close of the pro-
gram, Mr.. Brewer, the director made
a forcible talk in behalf of the school

another program for them.
