MOST COMMEMORATE.

Senator LEAFS announcement in the
Tennessean that in the future there
will be no further controversy with
the Banner or it's owner will be graf
flying to the people of this state. We
have had too much bitter personal
politics in this state. The long, bitter
and acrimonious controversy between
the Banner and Tennessean has been
disgraceful to Tennessee journalism
The people, regardless of their politi-
cal alignments, are heartily sick and
tired of 1t.
We have never believed that the
effort to make Senator Lea the para
mount issue in Tennessee would help
Hooper. 1t was mistake and one
that unquestionably cost the republi-
can ticket many votes. The abuse
and calumny heaped upon Senator
Lea drove men to him rather than
from him. There has been nothing
in his life to warrant the attacks that
have been made. He retorted in
kind. But that is all ancient history
now. In so far as Senator Lea was
an issue in this contest he has been
indicated.
Senator Lea is stronger in the poll
tics of the state today than he has
ever been. His career has been a
most remarkable one, altogether
without a political parallel in the an
nails of the state. To him more than
to any one leader was due the sue
cess of the fusion movement, And
when that movement had served its
purpose and given to the people pro-
hibition laws and fair elections, he
successfully led the democratic par
ty to higher ground, making perma-
nent the achievements that had been
won for good government. Necessa-
rily he has incurred the i'll will of
many. He is a strong and virile
character of great force and unques-
toned ability, the sort of man who
makes bitter enemies as we'll as
strong friends.
But in this hour, Lea's hour OF
greatest triumph, when his vindica-
ton seems complete, he can afford to
be generous. He should change and
soften the tone of the editorial col
umns of his paper. He should preach
and practice both the gospel of peace
and good will. And we believe that
he will do this. No matter how great
the provocation we sincerely hope
that he will not depart from the an
nouncement that he has just made,
but will encourage better feeling
among the people of Tennessee. Let
us have peace.

PROSPERITY.

No one in this section has any good
cause to complain of hard times"
When one hears Maury county citi-
zen talking about poor business he
can set it down that the fellow has
bad case of indigestion or else he
is one of those chronic old pessimists
who would find fault with the face or
form of an angel This is favored
section. Our prosperity depends al
together upon our agricultural inter-
ests and fortunately cur farmers are
all engaged in raising things to feed
the people. There is little cotton
grown in this county, not enough to
appreciably affect business.
That our farmers are prospecting is
plainly indicated in their failure to
take advantage of the opportunity to
dispose of their surplus mules. If
there had been any tightness of mon
ey matters this would not have been
Iuo case. uc ldIlu WOulu tuOA
have sold even at the low prices Of
fered. Cattle and hogs and wheat
and corn and the other great staple
crops of the county are commanding
good prices. They are in demand for
cash. There is absolutely no reason
for any but the most optimistic view
of the future.
Prices for the products Of this
county are going to be higher next
year than they have this year, Eu
rope will harvest almost normal
crop this year, but that will not be
the case in 1915, even should the war
end during that year, which is very
doubtful. 1t will be two or three
years before the people of Europe
will produce anything like the
amount of foodstuffs that they did be-
fore the war began. They must be
fed. They must come to America for
bread and meat. This Is a favored
section for the production of both.
All that our people need to do is to
realize their great opportunities and
take full advantage of them and we
shall witness a period of prosperity
never before known in this section.

to home enterprise and harmonious
working together will accomplish re-

We should all take lesson from
this experience We need more of
this spirit in our every day affairs.
There should be more of pull to-
gether among the people of Columbia
and Maury county. We are all of us
dependent upon each other for our
success and prosperity. No man
or business can live alone. The
prosperity of one means something
more for all. The knocker should
have no place in the business life of

this splendid spirit? The women. of
Columbia can do great work for
their city and country If they will
be loyal. No woman in the city
should think for a moment of patron
izing those at a distance who could
not, were they so inclined, return
their favors. When they need help
for any of their worthy efforts they
know that they must appeal to the
business men of this city and country.
The more loyal they are to these
men, the greater their assistance,
the more able the business men will
be to help them. Unfortunately too
many of our good women have been
thoughtless and careless about their
obligations to the business interests
of Columbia. Now is not this good
time to turn over a new leaf?"

CAPT. PECK WANTS
INFORMATION ABOUT
CHICAGO SHIPMENTS
REQUESTS EVERY FARMER TO
NOTIFY HIM IF HE HAS GOT.
TEN STOCK THERE.
Since FIRST OF OCTOBER
t Stock Has Been Received Since
That Date, Capt. Peck Will Send
State or Federal Inspector to Exam
inc 1t for Foot and Mouth Disease"
(By Capt. T. F. Peck.)


The dangerous and deadly cattle,
sheep and swine plague known as
European Foot and Mouth Disease"
has again made it's appearance on
the American continent. At this time
it threatens the live stock raising in
dustry of Tennessee as well as that
of every other state in the union, un-
less it's presence is detected and it's
spread checked by prompt and dras-
tic measures.
This disease first appeared in the
vicinity of Niles, Mich, about five
weeks ago. Before it's actual pres
ence was known it had spread to
three counties in southern Michigan
and two counties in northern Indiana.
From this source the Chicago Union
Stock Yards became infected. From
these yards car load after car load
of cattle and sheep have been ship
ped for breeding and feeding purpos-
es to great majority of the states
Wherever these shipments have gone
the disease has been carried. No
less than eleven states are known to
be infected at this time, viz: Massa-
chusetts, Pennsylvania, New York,
Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois,
Iowa, Montana, Wisconsin and Mis-
sissippi. The great difficulty confront
ing live stock sanitary control offic-
ials is locating the farms upon which
the disease exists before it has
spread to the whole community.
If any shipment from Chicago since
October list has been made to any
point in Tennessee we are not aware
of it. If a single case of this disease
exists in the state it has not been re-
ported. However, as precautionary
measure we are extremely anxious to
locate all shipments of cattle and
sheep which have been made from the
Chicago Union Stock Yards to Ten
nessee since October 1st in order that
state or federal inspector may be
sent to examine them for presence of
Foot and Mouth Disease" Any per-
son having knowledge of any such
shipment will be performing a patri-
otto duty which he owes to the live
stock interests as we'll as comforting
a great favor upon the agricultural
department by reporting it promptly
to me.

LIQUOR FOUND UNDER
STILLS OF THE FLOOR
ON THE MINK SLIDE
DAN GRAY is ARRESTED AND
BOUND OVER TO GRAND JURY
FOR BooTLEGGlNe.
80 HALF PINTS we're tFOUND
Has Been Arrested Before on Same
Charge-Piank Had Been Sawed
Out of Floor and All Evidence Of
the Liquor Concealed.

An ingenious scheme for dispensing
liquid goods to his customers and
friends has been unearthed at the
place OF Dan Gray, a negro, who has
his quarters in the colored Odd Eel
lows building on East Eighth street.
Gray has been arrested, and at his
trial Monday afternoon, he was bound
over to the grand jury, which is now
in session.
Some four or five weeks ago Gray
was arrested for bootlegging. He
has been under surveillance ever
since then, and it was thought that
he was still doing business at the
anne old stand. A search warrant
was sworn out by Sheriff Walter
Griffin, who with Deputy Sam Hardi-
son, City Marshal Tom Mclean and
Patrolman Bailey Peyton made
thorough examination of the place
and found thirty-nine half pints con-
cealed beneath the floor.
When they entered the place, APP
parently there was nothing in sight
that seemed to give any hint Of boot
Logging except a quart bottle, which
was about three-fourths full. Howey'
er, the officers noticed a'suspicious
movement of Gray's feet, and also
that he did not leave his position in
the room. This caught their atten'
ton and upon examination of the
floor, where he was standing, it was
found that one of the planks had
been neatly sawed and then put back
in it's place. With chisel, when
was nearby, they raised the PLANK
and presto! there were thirtv-nlne
half pints, neatly fitted in between the
stills of the floor. This was evidence
indisputable, and SO Gray was put un'
der arrest. The officers are sure now
that they have one of the most per-
sistent offenders whom they have hau
to deal with in a long time
Gray made bond after his trial anu
is out, pending the action OF II0
grand jury.

IN THE COUNTRY.

One who has never lived in Maury
county during the months of Octo-
Der and November has assuredly been
denied much of the best to be found
in life. Nowhere In all the world Is
the country more beautiful than at
this season. Nature shines in all her
resplendent glory. The forests are
gorgeous in their myriad colors. Ev-
cry tint known to the artist is blend
ed in harmony as only the Master Ar
fist of the Universe can blend them.
There is a tang in the atmosphere
that inspires and invigorates. A
walk through the painless woods"
is a real tonic to any one; a stroll
through blue grass pastures and quiet
lanes would restore the most chronic
pessimist and give him a view of life
that he never dreamed possible. Ev-
erything seems to conspire together
to please the eye; to elevate the
mind; to fill the heart with praise
and thanksgiving to Almighty God.
We truly pity the man who does not
enjoy the beauties of nature. He has
missed the best in life. And of all
places upon the earth the best in
which to enjoy nature is Maury coun-
ty and this is the season of all sea-
como to see IL at it's best
Every year at this time, we hear
enthusiastic lovers Of nature declare
that never have they known such
delightful weather or seen so many
charms in the country. And yet we
have Just this kind Of weather and
the country is just as lovely one year
as it is another, but its very charm
is so great, it's impression so vivid,
that we seem never to have witness
ed the like before. Truly the people
who are fortunate enough to abide in
this goodly land of peace and plenty
where in truth only man is vile, have
much, very much to be thankful for.
Indeed, they have been favored and
blessed by a bounteous providence.
And in this time of almost world
wide strife, of death upon a hundred
hattie fields of destruction and DESC
lation. it is inconceivable that one
living here can survey our beautiful
and peaceful lanscapes and witness
the evidences that abound every
where of. plenty, without having his
heart filed with love or humanity and

ADVERTISING.

That advertising pays is demon
strated by the statement, made after
exhaustive investigation, that more
than eighty per cent of the firms who
fail, failed to use newspaper advertis-
ing. We have come to that time in
our business evolution when not to
advertise means failure. We cannot
follow the methods that our fathers
used. We must keep our busienss
before the people, constantly in the
eye of the public. If we do not do
this the more enterprising concerns
will pass us by. Columbia merchants
are fairly liberal users of advertis-
ing space, but all Of them would prob
ably profit from larger use of it.
1t is the testimony of practically all
of them that money spent for adver-
Using in newspapers is a good in
vestment and one that returns good
dividends. Merchants often make
the mistake of cutting down their ad-
vertising appropriations when a lit
tie wind of adversely begins to blow.
That is the very time that they ought
to press their business. 1t is the
worst time in the world to withdraw
attention of the people. The bust
nass man who suceaedc ia tho man
who keeps everlastingly at it. The
man who never allows temporary re-
verses to unnerve him is the man
who achieves successes.

HopPER's REASONS.
Two Of the reasons advanced by
Hooper for his overwhelming repudi.
alton are no reasons at all. First, he
attributes his defeat to fraud and in
timidation in Memphis and Nashville.
Then let us eliminate altogether the
votes of Shelby and Davidson coun-
ties and the governor is still defeated
by a comfortable margin. Every big
county in the state, including Madi-
son. in which Jackson is located, can
be thrown out entirely and Rye Is
elected. That disposes of one "rea-
son"
Another equally as falacious state
ment is that Doodle bought the cleo
ton. If it was everywhere like 1t
was in Maury county, Hooper should
be the very last man to charge Doodle.
His leaders here used money in abun-
dance two years ago and they had a
plethora of it here on Tuesday. Hoop
er partisans here will hardly deny
that they have always made liberal
use of money~~in securing votes for
the governor. Two years ago it was
notorious that through Middle Ten
nessee an enormous corruption fund
was used in the interest of Hooper
and while we know nothing Of other
counties this time we do know that
the Hooper forces never lacked for
funds in Maury county.

PRAISES ELS; ATTACK.
Sporting Expert of New York Evening
 Post Comments on Princeton Game,

Fair Play. sporting expert of the New York Evening Post, has the fol- lowing to say about the Yale-Prince- ton game:
 Between the first and the end of the third periods of the Yale-Prince- ton game at the Palmer Memorial sta
 dium Saturday, those who had come to the field filled with the idea of Harvard as the supreme eleven of the season had adequate reason to read just their convictions. Yale had show ed an attack that was stronger and more varied than any. eleven had re- Vealed in any big game this season thus far. Her multiple passes were dazzling in their perfection and eff fectIVeness: she had a good forward pass. superffne bunting and an extra ordinary line punch. In the first three quarters of the contest she scored more touchdowns than the Crimson had scored against the same team and on defense had held the Tigers, as safely as Harvard did week ago. What more could be asked? This ques- ton was not answered until the last period It was then that Nassau sud- denly endowed with indomitabIe pow er,, energy, and precision, opened vicious attack upon the Blue line. With
 the line charging hard and sharp, opening holes from center to tackle, with quick turns off tackle behind slashing interference. the Orange and
 
 Princeton eleven has achieved against Yale in IS years She marched down the field on straight plays for two touchdowns. No one who did not see the game can imagine the shock of surprise to some 37,001 spectators when an outfit which had been run off it's feet, apparently cowed and hu- initiated, was converted suddenly at the last moment into a merciless en- zine of offense, which served so swift Iy to alter the complexion of battle that the Blue, at first merely battling to keep her record of the day clear of slight smirch in the way of a single score by Princeton. was in the end struggling to stave off defeat. The Tigers had earned two clean touch- downs within a space of about nine minutes. After that second score only about two minutes remained to play, and Nassau. after retaining the ball by cleverly converting kickoff into an onside kick, was obliged to aban- don her line-breaking tactics, which had been so successful. and resort to forward passes, the ball then being inside of Yale's yard line. The game ended on the second uncompleted for ward pass

MAY HAVE
 FIELDER JONES AS MANAGER
Peace Treaty is Expected to be Signed
 Saturday

If the report that has just emanated from Chicago is true, the Yankees are to have one of the liveliest managers in the business next season. It is de- Clared that as soon as the Federal league and organized baseball sign their peace treaty, which was expected to be done some time Saturday, it will be announced that Fielder Jones, the famous manager of the White Sox, worlds champions of 1906, will come to New York as leader of Frank Far relrs team, and that Joe Tinker, the player who virtually made the Feds, will become manager of the Cubs.
 With the making of peace it be- comes necessary to provide berths for capable managers such as is Jones. It was not until late in the season that he was persuaded to forsaIxe his busi . ness interests in the far west and go to St. Louis as manager of the Fed eral league team of that city. This only came about by offering him one of the largest salaries ever paid a base ball man. With the merging of the Cards and the Feds in St. Louis, which is believed to be one of the peace conditions. there is no room for Jones in that city, as Miller Huggins is so popular as manager of the Cards that the National league would never oust him to make room for another.
 Because of the discharge of Frank Chance, another former Chicago idol the Yankees are without a manager, Q nd experts declare tehat outsid of George Stallings he is the best con- structive manager in the game.
 It was Tinker's desertion of organ ized baseball that influenced many other baseball lights to cast their lot big hit as manager and shortstop of the Chifeds.

HARVARD RULES SLIGHT
 FAVoRITE OVER YALE Dopesters Figure That the Crimson Men Are Better in Rush Line.

Much money will change hands on the result of this big game, for ale surely will be heavily backed. But aL nresent Harvard is a slight fayor1te In the betting. It is admitted that liar ward is more formidable. in the rusn line than Yale and that Mahan as field goal kicker is superior to LeGore, Guernsey or Pumpelly. But 1t Is a 0uestion whether Harvards backfield will outplay Yale's big four: wilson the New Haven quarterback IS De- Iieyed to be the equal of Logan Of liar yard as field general and he may prove more successful in running WItn the ball, Knowles of Yale will onset Francke of Harvard in hitting the line and in secondary defensive work Ma han may slightly excel Ie Gore in bunting and running, while Brad4ee, who made two touchdowns for tne Crimson against Princeton, IS more than a match for Ainsworth.
 Harvard's ends, Hardwick. and cool idge. may be able to break up 4ale.s passing game, but they will have to be more alert than in the Princeton game. Yale's showing will depend entirely on the ability of the backfeld to make gains by open plays, together with the strength of the rush line in breaking up Harvard's puzzling attacks. To 8 man LID a tree it looks as if Harvard and Yale are evenly matched behind the line. with the Crimson in posses sion of stronger and more aggressive forwards. For that reason numerous football sharps prefer Harvard's S chances
