NAPOLEON DIR tCT
CLOSES CAMPAIGN
CAPTURED TWO FAT PURSES AT
DALLAS FAIR, AGGREGAT-
ING $500.

Napoleon Direct closed out this sea
sons campaign last week at Dallas
Texas, where he captured two rich
purses. one for $4,000, the other for
$4,000. The week previous he got
the long end of $4,000 one at the
same place.
The amount of money that he won
at Dallas was about $4,000. The val.
ue Of the three purses was $4,000, of
which half went to the winner. De,
Quoting the expenses of the trip and
entrance fees, his owners cleaned up
close to $500 on the trip to the Lone
Star State.
These three purses will raise the
aggregate of the winnings of Napo-
leon Direct for the year well over $12-
900. He will be brought back, win
tered and sent down the Grand Cir
cult next year in the free-for-all
stakes. Many look for him to pace
well below two minutes before 1915
is over if he remains sound and has
no injuries.

ARTIST INSTINCT

COUNTRY TEACHERS SHOULD

PUPILS.
HUNDRED OR MORE HEARD HIM
First of a Series of Addresses That
Will Be Delivered BY Prof. Taven-
ner Upon cart in the School"-Is
From Middle Tennessee Normal.

art in the School" is the very in
teresting subject taken by Prof. Eu.
gene Tavenner, of the Middle Tennes-
see Normal at Murfreesboro, as the
subject of a set of lectures before the
teachers of Maury county. The first
was delivered this morning to hun
dred or more teachers in the circuit
court room at the court house.
In his opening remarks the speak
er stated that art was rather a pecu-
liar subject for a Latin teacher to
talk about, but that he had always
been interested in it, not from the
standpoint of an artisan, but mere
ly as spectator of the beautiful. He
traced the origin of art among the
ancients, pointing to it's existence
among primitive settlers of France,
where pieces of ivory 10000 years old
have been found with engravings upon
them. He also gave similarly the Or
igin of music and painting.
Prof. Tavenner appealed especial
ly to the teachers in the country
schools to develop the artistic in
stinct in their pupils. Reduced to it's
simplest terms, art is but a craving
after the beautiful and the crystaliza-
tion of that desire into something ma,
terial. The man who builds a hut
with his own hands, with an eye to
the artistic and the beautiful, is an
artist on a small scale. The speaker
stated that the teacher in the coun-
try had great opportunity among
the children by opening their eyes
to the most beautiful of all art, that
of the Maker of the Universe. If
this artistic impulse and instinct,
which is inherent in every one, is cul-
tivated, pupils will respond freely and
take an interest in the creation of ar
tistic things.

Likely That Other Phosphate Compa.
MES of the County Will Submit
Their Cases and Agree to a Com.

The first of the back tax suits OF
the state of Tennessee against the
phosphate companies of Maury county
has been compromised. The Jackson
Phosphate Co., through its president,
Charles S. Jackson, has handed to
Trustee John w. Addison check for
$3,S7S.63 in full settlement of made
quate assessments for the years 1911,
1912, and 1913. The amount of the
settlement was reached after 4 con-
ference between Mr. Jackson and
Thomas H. PEBBLES, attorney for the
state revenue agent for Middle Ten
nessee.
AS stated above, this is the first of
the suits that has been settled There
are more than a dozen that are still
pending against various phosphate
concerns in the county, and the COM
promise with the largest Of them is
taken by many to mean that the rest
of them will settle in like manner
1t is not the contention of the
states attorney that these companies
have lodged the payment of their
back taxes, but that they have been
insufficiently assessed in the past and
that under proper assessment they
owe a considerable amount to the
state.

The Tariff and Farmer.

While the European war has automatically
raised high tariff wall Ground the United
States for the time being 1t does not obscure
our view to the effect Of the democratic tariff
upon the products OF the American farm. Under
this free trade law the bars were thrown down
to the importation of foreign staples in direct
competition with domestic products to an extent
that may be gathered from the following statis-
tics Issued by the Department of Commerce:
ImpoTtatlons Of corn BusheIs
During four months ending January 81. 1914 1904 100
ImpGrtations same period previous year.. $50
lmportRttons OF oats
During four months ending January 81. 1914 16lsLlb
Importations same period previous year.. 90 $50
Importations OF potatoes
During four months ending January 81 1914 32si 900
Importations same period previous year.. 1900
Importations OF butter Pounds.
During four months ending January 81, 1914. d573Os
Importations same period previous year., 10000
Importations of eggs Dozen.
During four months ending January 81, 1914. ASS 56i
Importations same period previous year.. None
On down the list OF farm products the door
has been opened to the cheap labor commodities
of other countries. While the importations for
the first four months under the democratic tariff
are gigantic in comparison with those under re-
publican rule the increases would continue right
now except for the war. The only relief-after
the war ends-will be the repeal OF the existing
law. Thus far the Wilson administration has
been rather fortunate in diverting attention from
the tariff, but II cannot hope TO have the atten-
tions OF the American farmer permanently di-
verted. The probability is that they have them
now centered on this very subject OF the tariff
a good deal more than some may think.
