ilege of using the streets, alleys, and

This means that another light and
power system will be installed in the

1t is believed that the power behind
Mr.. Carpenter and associates is the

There were severe, other ordinance

from the first Friday night in each

came up for third and final reading
and was duly passed. The ordinances

There was no other business and so

HOLIDAY FOR UNCLE
SANS EMPLOYEES

Monday was a holiday in postoffice
and rural route circles. The office
was closed and no mail was handed
out throughout the day. Uncle Sam,
although George Washington's birt4
day fell on Sunday, was liberal and
gave the following day to his en-
ployes to celebrate in. Most of the
carriers spent the day in Mt. Pleas
ant attending the meeting of the Maui

Among the number were D. L. Fry,
H. o. Tucker and Tom Cook. They
made addresses before the meeting;
discussing various features of the

This was the final result of the nip
and tuck basket ball scrap Friday
afternoon at the Athenaeum grounds.
The game was the closest that has
been played here this season. No
one could tell until the last three min
utes how it would result.
The first half stood IL to 9 in favor
of the locals. They showed a clear
superiority oyer the visitors and it
looked as If they would win. Howev-
er, in the last half the Columbia boys
three of whom were sick, slowed up
and were not able to maintain the clip
at which they had started out The
Massey boys were too heavy and their
weight decided the game They threw
three goals in the last three minutes
that turnedthe tide in their favor.
The game was clean and highly in
teresting to the crowd of, spectators
that witnessed 1t. They were kept
keyed up to high pitch all the time.
Captain Roy Erwin, of the Columbia
Military Academy, refereed the game.
The Columbia boys want return
with Massey. 1t has not been arrang-
ed yet, but if it is, it will be played
at Pulaski. The local five believe
that they can take the visitors scalp
when they are in first classcondition.
This is the first game that they have
lost this season. Their material is
excellent, and when they are in
shape, they can give the best scrap.

The date was originally set for

following. The entertainment COM
mittee has been actively at work for
the past few days, and 1t Is now posi-

been placed at all prominent places
in the city, and signatures have been
quickly and readily attached to them.
Secretary Ashley Sowell is as busy

that everything would be pulled OF
without a hitch, and that the occa-
sion should prove to be one of the
most profitable and entertaining that
the Board Of Trade has ever given.

WARM CONTEST IN
ANNUAL ELECTION
BOARD OF TRADE
PROSPECTS ARE THAT THERE
WILL BE TWO TICKETS IN
THE FIELD.
YOUNG men MAY seek CONTROL
Plans for the. Banquet Are Going on
Apace and the Attendance Promises
to Exceed That of Year Aoo
Much interest Shown.

A red hot fight for the control of
the Board of Trade at the election OF
TIE directors on Next Thursday night
may be pulled off. There are indica.
ton that some of the young blood"
in the board will make an effort to
elect board of directors that will
be more progressive, SO they claim
than the gentlemen who have been
at the helm for the past year.
1t will be recalled that at the cleo.
ton of the board two years ago
warm contest was waged between the
progressive" and the conservatives
with the result that while majority
of the old line ticket was elected the
insurgents managed to land about
a third of the directors.
There are twenty-one directors to
be chosen at the close Of the annual
banquet. 1t looks now as if there
would be two full tickets in the field.
However, one does not have to vote
for the one straight, full ticket, which
may result in the election of mixed
ticket. Some of the boards politi-
clans are known to be at work on
States" and some interesting an
nouncements are to be expected In a
few days.
The board of directors will, short
ly after their election, elect the ofic-
ers for the coming year. They are
the president, two vice presidents
and the secretary. 1t seems to be
generally accepted that James A.
Sloan can have the presidency if he
will accept it, and Ashley Sowell, the
active young secretary, is also assur.
ed of another term.
Plans for the banquet are moving
on apace. The entertainment commit
tees are meeting with much encour.
agement and the attendance promis-
es to exceed that of a ysar ago. The
presence of SO many distinguished
guests from a distance has added to
the interest in the occasion.
The banquet will be held at the
Hotel Bethel and Mine Host Dedman
will give to every detail his personal
direction, insuring a menu that will
be promptly served and one that will
appeal to the palates of all discrimi.
mating judges. The Columbia Band
has volunteered to render music for
the occasion.

MAURYLAUNDRYHAS
PAY ROLL OF $1,000
LOCAL BUSlNSS CONCERN AVER
AGES 20 HANDS THROUGH.
~ OUT YEAR.

Among the leading industries OF
the city is the Maury Laundry Com.
pany. Figures given by the manager,
T. Ed Voss, show that twenty hands
are worked on an average every day
throughout the year, and that the an.
nual pay roll runs close to $1,000.
The character of work done is equal
to the best in the whole country, n
fact, no superior is done anywhere in
any city whether large or small.
The laundry is equipped with all
the latest and most up-to-date machin-
cry used in this line of work. All the
work s most sanitary and there is no
possible means Of infection or spread
of any contagious disease. The man.
ager is thoroughly conversant with
all the latest improvements and ideas
in his work, and is strictly abreast
of the times in giving his patrons the
best of work.
The laundry Is one Of the most in
terprising of Columbia's industries,
and has an established position in the
business life of the city. Most cities
of the size of Columbia send their
laundry to the larger cities, but the
excellent grade of laundrying done
here prevents any such dependence
upon outside companies. All of the
labor, all of the management of the
Maury is strictly from Columbia, and
it is rightly considered one of the
foremost of the home industries.

IMPORTANCE OF THE
!. SELECTION OF GOOD
IS SEEDS STRESSED
CAPT. PECK OF DEPARTMENT OF
AGRICULTURE GIVES VIEWS
OF TIMELY SUBJECT.
CHOICE ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY
All Obnoxious Weed Seeds Must Be
Taken Out Beore Sowing-lntelIi-
gence Must Be Exercised in Their
Purchase at This Season of Year.

| The department of agriculture for
the past three years has been doing
all in its power to improve the quail
ity of seed used by farmers of Ten
nessee Rigid inspection of seed Of
fered by dealers has been made, a
campaign Of education has been con-
Quoted with both dealers and farm
ers as to the provisions of the law.
Seed time is now almost here and
we want to again emphasize the i'm
portance of careful seed selection. 1t
means SO much in the coming crop.
With all the advancement that has
been made along the line of seed i'm
provement, it can still be said that
little more than good beginning has
been made. No amount of seed test
ing or experimental work can amount
to much unless the far .ner duly ap-
preciates the fact that good seeds Is
one Of the first requisites of good
farming. Ever SO much attention
may be given to careful and thorough
preparation of seed bed, to the feed
ing of the crop from an abundant sup
ply of plant food in the soil, to main
tanning a good physical condition in
the soil, and to other such essentials
of successful crop raising, but, if the
Importance of good seed is not suffi-
GENTLY realized, the farmer has come
considerably short of the best results
possible.
Corn, wheat and oats have compar-
atively large seeds and to these crops
much attention has been given during
recent years. Concerning the small
er seeds-clover, alfalfa and the
grasses-which are comparatively
small and difficult to size up, some
thing should be said here. /. Good
clover and grass seed will show GER
tain definite characteristics. 1t will
be free from the seeds Of various nox-
ious weeds and will have few or
none of the less harmful weeds. 2.
1t will have very small per cent.
mot over two) of inert matter (grit,
chaff, broken stems, etc., If any at
all. 1t is uncommon to find seed
Wholly free from impurities. This is
what would be expected in view of
the quantity of weeds On the farms
of Tennessee, and in view of the linn.
tied use of good tanning mills. 3.
Good seed will all, or very nearly all,
terminate and grow strongly. Much
seed available for use will not give a
good stand because fofr one reason or
another it will not nearly all grow.
In the interest of better clover and
grass crops and a higher standard for
Tennessee agriculture, every farmer
should avail himself of all opportuni-
ties to acquire wider knowledge of
the subject of good seed and the es-
sential differences between low and
high grade seed, so that he may buy
intelligently and have much greater
success with clover, grass and other
crops.
