SAYS AMONG BEST IN NATION
Also Speaks Highly Of the Private

Columbia has one of the finest
high schools in the United States"
said Prof. Harry Clark, of the chair
of education at the University Of Ten
nessee, Tuesday afternoon as he
stopped in the city for little while.
Il know of no high school or any
city schools that are doing better
work than these Columbia schools.
Prof. Harris makes an admirable head
for a school system, he has gathered
under him splendidly equipped
corps Of teachers, and the morale of
the student body is fine. have had
occasion to see and visit the school
several times, and l have been Deep
ly impressed with the work that is
being done there.
II am certainly glad to hear that
the city is going to put up magnif-
icent building to house these boys
and girls. hope they will put it up
large enough. So many cities are
building their schools too small
these days, and the result is that in
four or five years they have to make
additions to them. If | were the
building committee l would not tear
down the old Athenaeum at all. 1t
is too valuable. 1t is suited all right
for the manual arts and the domestic
science departments, and will make
fine overflow building when the new
one becomes crowded.
mot only the city schools, but the
private schools about the city are do
ing fine work. l was agreeably sur
prised at the way Col. Weber has
built up the Columbia Military Acad
emy in just little more than year
He is going to have fine school out
there and they are going to do good
work. The Columbia Institute, also,
is turning out good work under a fine
faculty of teachers and fine student
body.
columbia has every reason to be
proud of her schools, both public and
private, which are among the very
best in the whole state"

At the adjourned meeting of the
county court Monday afternoon, all
bids for the erection of the new resi-

which is the third which the commit
Tee has asked for, will be opened the
Monday morning. The

The court was unanimous in its
opinon of what action should be TAX
len. There was no dissenting voice,
and the decision to leave the matter

harmonious. Heretofore the court
bias restricted the amount to $4,000,
but at the meeting Monday afternoon
This restriction was removed if the

HAS BEEN STATIONED LAST
FOUR YEARS AT TULIP

DIR. HAGGARD SWAPS PLACES
And viii Go to Nashville In DR.. Kicks
Place-Change Has Been Predict
ed for Some Time-WiiI ProabIy
Preach Here Next Sunday.

DR.. w. B. Kicks, for the past four
years pastor of the Tulip street Meth
odist church in Nashville, will sue
ceed DR.. w. T. Haggard at the local
First Methodist church for the COM
ing year.
DR.. Haggard will exchange places
with DR.. Kicks and go to Tulip street
for the next twelve months.
These announcements were made
late Monday afternoon at Pulaski by
Bishop .Murrah just before the close
of the 101st session Of the Old Jeru.
salem conference. They were in line
with the predictions that have been
made for some time by those who
were on the inside. After it was seen
that it was impossible for DR.. w. B.
Taylor, the presiding elder of this
district, to be sent to Columbia, 1t
was freely predicted and much hoped
that the exchange Of DR.. Haggard and
DR.. Kicks would be made. Each had
spent their allotted four years at
their respective charges and had to
be moved.
DR.. Kicks is most likeable and
amiable gentleman as we'll as splen-
did preacher He has been pastor of
one of the largest and most influen'
tial charges in Nashville and made a
most conspicuous success Of his work
there. Previous to that time he was
pastor of the First Methodist church
at Bowling Green, in the Louisville
conference. He is graduate Of Van
derbilt University of some twenty odd
years ago and has been actively in
the ministry all that time.
DR.. Kicks will probably preach his
first sermon here next Sunday morn
ing. DR.. and Mrs. Haggard will leave
the latter part of the week for their
new residence in Nashville.

one touchdown too strong for the Co.

there was but little difference in the
strength of the two teams, but the

better Judgment in directing his team

The followers of Gov. Hooper are

every effort will be exerted to get out
a large and representative crowd

The chief executive and his party

city will then take place, after which
the governor and his staff will 60 to
the Bethel House, where after a few
minutes of rest, he will hold a recep-
tion. The parade to the Bethel
House will be led by the Columbia
band, which has been augmented by
the addition of several old men from
Nashville. 1t will also serenade the
governor after his arrival at the ho-
te'
After dinner Governor Hooper and
his staff will repair to the opera
house, where the speaking will take
place at 1 o'clock. 1t has not yet
been decided who will introduce him.
It was thought that J. H. Dining
would, but he cannot on account OF
press of business. He has stated that
he would be glad to do so if he had
the time. Several others have been
suggested, among them being some
one of the old Confederate soldiers
Judge Sam Holding and Thomas B
Forgey, chairman of the independent
executive committee.
At any rate, the governor will be
rendered a handsome reception and
will be given a cordial welcome when
he rises to speak Saturday afternoon

Somebody is trying to tell the fans
that a solution of the present baseball
war will be the formation Of an east
ern and 4 western league, each to m
brace twelve cities. Does any SANE
baseball politician believe that Ban
Johnson and the American league
would ever consent to such n plan? Or
that Governor Tener and the National
league would enter into such Il shop
worn scheme? Take this straight tip!
If the Federal league, as it is consti-
tuted, lives until next fall it will be
taken into organized baseball with this
new circuit: Brooklyn, Baltimore, Buff
falo, Pittsburgh. Cincinnati, Cleveland.
Detroit and indianapolis. There will
be Il third major league in o. b. Ire if
enough Fed hackers are left to put up
the money. and there will be not more
than two clubs each in Chicago and st.
Louis. Stick a pie here.

lost the game in would so n of the
kids.
Again, it would sem that with sew
eral very good young men who can't
possibly get enough regular work with
the club, Hughie would yank any reg
ular hurler to whom the opposing bat
ters seemed to be getting.
But things will not be us they seem.
Hughie will not send in the young
sters to finish games to give them ex-
perience. He doesn't believe that
pitching a few innings when winning
or losing makes any difference or gives
a pitcher any valuable experience.
"A pitcher to get experience Of value
must start 4 game and work out his
W salvation" said Jennings. THAT'S
the way l want to test the youngsters.
l want them to start their W games
and win or lose for themselves"
Neither will Hughie yank pitchers
from the box this season any more
quickly than he has in the past.
Random has little patience with the
home pitcher whom the opposition
seems to have solved. Jennings has
always left a pitcher in the box, even
when he was being pounded, just as
long as he possibly could.
