REMARKABLE RECORD.

For the tenth consecutive time the
democrats of the third district have
nominated Judge John Austin Moon
for congress. Two years ago, for
the first and only time, he had op-
position or the nomination His
election is always assured. When
he serves the term for which he
has just been named he will have
rounded out twenty years in con-
gress. No member has ever served
longer in either the senate OF the
house from Tennessee. Benton Nc
Millin and James D. Richardson each
served twenty years in the House.
Isham G. Harris served twenty
years and three months in the SEN
ate, and William B. Bates comes
next in length of continuous service
in the senate, having served
eighteen years and five days.

quent changes. But in recent years
there has been a tendency to re-
ward the faithful public servant, al
though there have been notable ex-
ceptions. Taken as whole the
Tennessee delegation in point of con-
tinuous service will compare with
that of any other state. OF the
democrats Moon and Sims have both
been there eighteen years. Padgett
has been in the house for fourteen
years. Houston has been there ten
years and so has Garrett, while Hull

two years later, and Mcclellan has
been there for the past five years.
1t Will be noted that the average
term of service Of the eight mem

republicans of the first district kept
Walt Brownlow there for fourteen
years, until he died, and Henri Glib

for the same period, although Hale

To celebate their victory over their
old time foes, Branham & Hughes,
the cadets Of the Military Academy
paraded the city Wednesday night in
their night shirts, giving yells,
screams, and going into various kinds
of duck fits appropriate to such an
event. Headed by the band they
marched down West Seventh street
about o'clock in single file, doing
the snake dance and various other
kinds of wiggles to celebrate their
great victory. They filed around the
square, went into one of the drug
stores where they were courteously
served with drinks free Of charge BY

FOUR CAR LOADS
JERSEYS ONE DAY
THAT Is THE RECORD MADE BY
J. LEM THOMAS, THE WELL
KNOWN DEALER. q

J. Lem Thomas, the well known
stock dealer, on Wednesday sold four
car loads of Maury county grade Jer-
sey heifers. Two cars were sold to
go to Kansas, another car will go to
Illinois and the fourth car was sold
for delivery in Lawrence county.
Mr. Thomas stated this morning that
the demand for Maury county Jer-
seys was increasing all the time ard
that the great difficulty that he ex-
perienced was in filling this demand.
These sales for one day give some
idea Of the magnitude of the Jersey
business in Maury county and show
the great demand for the product of
the county.

WILLIAMS WILL WIN.

Whether or not the democratic
state convention on May rs endorses
Justice s. G. Williams or nomiuates
Judge Burrow will make but little diff
ference in the result Of the judicial
election in August. 1t will, however,
have powerful effect upon the re-
1ult lin November Judge Williams
IL going to be elected as, sure as cleo
ton day comes in August. That is
Just about as certain 'as any event OF
the future. The people Of Tennessee
nee no reason why Judge Williams
should not have the endorsement
which his record upon the bench, his
attainments as lawyer and his high
character as man, entitle him to re-
ceive, and they are going to give him
that endorsement in August. No po-
litical convention can change the re-
suit.
However, il the democrats make
the issue by nominating candidate
against Williams and suffer that de-
feat in August which is certain to be
their portion, the election of Hooper
in November will be absolutely fore
casted. No doubt of that. Now do
the democrats really care more for a
spirit Of petty revenge that dictates
opposition to Williams because he
is the appointee~ of Hooper, than they
do about the election Of a governor?

TWELVE YEAR COURSE
FOR CITY SCHOOLS
AFTER PRESENT TERM
SIX OF THE GRADES WILL BE IN
ONE BUILDING AND SIX IN
THE OTHER.
High School Proper Will Begin With
the Ninth Grade Instead Of the
Eighth AZ at Present--Will Make
for More Thorough Preparation.

There will be no graduating class
from the Maury County and Columbia
High School in 1915. This is due to
the fact that beginning with the next
term Of the school the course will be
twelve years instead of eleven. Here
tofore the pupils of the Maury Coun-
ty High School have graduated in an
eleven year course. But hereafter
twelve years will be required.
The additional year, when the sys-
tenn is inaugurated, will not be in the
high school but will be added to the
grammar department. Heretofore the
high school department has covered
four grades, the eighth, ninth, tenth
and eleventh. With the new system
the high school will begin with the
eighth instead of the seventh and will
run to the twelfth, inclusive
1t is planned, when the new high
school building is completed to divide
the school into two sections, and it
will be known as the six and six
principle. That is the first six
grades Of the school will be housed
in one building and the next six in
the high school building. AS gen
eral division one will be known as
the primary department and the 9TH
er as the high school department.
The two six and six departments
will be further designated as the ju-
nior primary department, consisting
of the first four grades, the senior
primary department, composed of the
next two grades; the junior high
school composed Of the seventh and
eighth grades and then the senior
high school or the high school prop
er, composed Of the four last grades
of the school
While with the eleven year course
the schools graduates have been CIV

at the University of Tennessee, it
has been decided that the adoption Of
the regular state course would make
for more thorough work aid would
enable the school to give to the pu-
pills much. better and more lasting
training.
This course is made for the normal
child who is expected to take a grade
each year. Assuming that this is
done and the child enters the school
at seven years Of age, he will CON-
plete the course at nineteen. OF
course there are always those who
make two grades in one year and
these will necessarily finish at an ear

QUESTION OF PROPERTY.

Justice Lansden, Of the supreme
court, replying to the criticism of
Chairman Forgey, of this city, insists
that his action in wiring Certificate
of good character and fitness" for
Judge Roberts, candidate for COVER
nor, was not violation Of tho pro-
prieties. Judge Lansden declares that
he simply commended to friends
among the bar the good qualities OF
his candidate for governor. This is
hardly correct Interpretation Of the
Justices telegram. Not only did he
do what he says he did, but he went
further and expressed the hope that
the county would be instructed for
Roberts. Not only that he further
asked that the party receiving the
telegram show 1t to others and be-
come an active partisan of Roberts.
Judge Lansden sees no improperly
In this course. Doubtless there are
many who will agree with him. We
frankly do not. We believe with
Chairman Forgey, and for the reasons
80 cogently and forcefully presented
by Mr.. Forgey, that justice of the
supreme court should, as far as posi-
BILE, keep away from partisan or fac
tonal politics. He should not seek
to use his influence among the mem.
bers of the bar of the state to further
the interests Of any candidate or par
ty or faction.

passed ana IN 1914, over the oppos1
ton of several of the democratic lead
ers, the late Senator Carmack forced
the democratic state convention to
adopt a plank in its platform endors
ing and approving the Adams law
He wrote the plank with his own
hand, and 1t was due alone to his de-
termination and insistence that 1t was
inserted in the platform.
The republicans nominated Jesse
Lttleton and he attacked the Adams
law all over Middle and West Ten.
nessee. While Gov. Frazier defended
the law he did 1t rather gingerly end
grudgingly, for, as matter of fact
: the governor, like many other demo
Gratis at the time, was dubious of the
popularity of temperance measures.
This plank in the democratic plat
form of 1904, written by Senator Car
mack, was the first Straightforward,
direct and unequivocal declaration
for temperance ever contained in a
state democratic platform in Tennes-
see. Until that year the democrats
always side-stepped the issue, and
so did the republicans.
While the democrats took strong
grounds for. the existing temperance
laws in 1904 the republican platform
was not so uneQuivocal and in his
West Tennessee and Middle Tonnes
see speeches, Littleton was openly
hostile to the Adams law. He charged
in his speeches that DR.. Folk and the
Anti-Saloon League had held "bull
whip over Gov. Frazier" and forced
him to sign the measure. In East
Tennessee where prohibition and the
temperance sentiment among the re-
publicans was more pronounced, he
was less vigorous in his attacks upon
the Adams law.
The fact is that the republican party
in Tennessee is no more the party Of
temperance than the democratic par
ty. For twenty years after the pass,
age of the four mile law IN 1887 both
parties tried in every way to side
step" the issue. Both were afraid Of
it. But after temperance became
popular both got into the band wag-
on, or at least both will be in the
wagon during this campaign.
But credit for the first direct pro-
nouncement in a party platform for
temperance must be accorded Sena-
tor Carmack, who, in 1904, was the
dominant figure in the democratic
party of Tennessee. The writer
well recalls what the late Senator
Carmack said to him about the man
ner in which Frazier handled" the
temperance issue in that campaign.
In substance it was just about this:
Gov. Frazier is altogether too
cautious in his discussion Of this
question. Where I the democratic
NOMINEES for governor and had approx
ed the Adams law and had also the
distinction Of having had large
state appropriation made for the aid
Of public schools, would boldly
say to the people Of Tennessee that
my proudest claim would ever be that
during the two years of my admins
tration I had opened more school
houses aud closed more saloons than
any man who had ever served as
governor"

THE SERUM PLANT.

Maury county's business men and
farmers are deserving Of the hearth
est congratulations upon the enthu-
siastic and effective way in which
they have rallied to the hog cholera
serum demonstration work. The OBJ
tanning of this demonstration for the
county is going to be worth, in the
end, hundreds and hundreds Of thous-
ands of dollars. 1t is going to be one
OF the greatest assets that the coun-
ty has ever had. 1t will be worth not
less than fifty cents added to the
value of every pig in the county.
And 1t all goes to prove what the
folks of Columbia and Maury county
can do when they are once aroused.
1t is quite testimonial, too, &c the
efficiency and worth of the Board of
Trade. 1t is a complete answer to
those captious critics who pretend to
see no value in our business mems
organization. While the public spir-
tied citizens of city and county have
pledged funds necessary to obtain
the demonstration work, the burden
should be more equally distributed,
since every one in the county will de-
rive benefit from it. To that end
we believe the county court will APP
prove the suggestion Of Senator
Church that all necessary funds be
appropriated from the county treasu-

grave injustice when you say:
Mr.. Litton due to other BUSH
ness was unable to- devote any of
his time to the business, whilst
Mr.. Stage was boosting the firm
up, decided to withdraw. where
upon the firm was dissolved un-
der mutual agreement"

language above quoted, you had
an insight into the firms bust
ness. If you had had you would
readily haye observed / did my
share of the work.
The dissolution was agreeable
to me. shall continue to write
up insurance the same as here
tofore. In this, as in other lines
of business, it is a case of the
survival of the fttest. I am
foolish enough to believe I can
hold my own. Please observe
whether others car do as well.
Your criticism of my inability to
do my share of the firms work,
was uncalled for and unWar-
ranted. Yours truly,

that he would soon plant five
acres OF castor seed, in the city
units, near the oil mill, for an
experiment.
The plants having been grow
ing wild around the oil mill for
such a long time that Mr.. Stage
decided to cultivate some, so he
ordered a sufficient amount of
seed to plant five acres. He is
sure that he will succeed with it
and that within the next few
years the farmers will take up
the cultivation of castor seed.
