LECTURES
To Be Given Here On The
WOmaR'S Suffrage Question
tRY Press Reporterl

The Mt Vernon w. c. T. u. has ar
ranged to have Mrs. Viola d. Romans,
state Corresponding Secretary for an
open air meeting on the public square
at 7:30, Saturday evening May End,
Equal Suffrage Day" On Sunday
afternoon, May 3rd, at 2:30, she will
give an address at the M. p. church
at which all women and girls of the
city are urged to be present. Mrs.
Romans is one of those real and rare
speakers who can tell a great truth
in captivating manner. Without
osteDtation, but with tremendous
force and directness she rivets the at
teption of an audience from the be-
ginning. Her ready grasp Of human
nature and her knowledge of human
needs, coupled with a natural but
foTceful and finished style, enable her
to touch the hearts of one and all, and
class her as lecturer of the first mag
nitude in every respect. In short her
lectures and addresses furnish food
for the hungry thinker, refreshments
for the weary and inspiration for the
one without a fixed purpose in life.
A firm and steady manner, penetrat-
ing and pleasing voice and faultless
erunciation, combine to adorn the
great truth and beautiful sentiments
she presents to the public. She has
spoken in many of our large cities and
is probably the best informed woman
in the state OF Ohio on the suffrage
question. This is one of the important
issues of the day and will be before
US for decision In the near future.
Therefore it behooves the public not
to miss this opportunity of hearing
this able and talented speaker.

More About the Elephant

Our friend, Mr.. James w. Win
burn, of Patrick writes some
first-hand information about the
elephant chase down there last
Wednesday. He writes as fol-
lows:
On last Wednesday there was
a real sensation in Patrick when
news came that the big elephant
had broken loose. The folks
had been looking for the show
all day, but now the elephant
was loose. He had been seen
in the fields and in the swamp.
You may talk about what broke
loose in Georgia, bnt this was a
reality and the folks made for
home.
The Colonel" may go to At
rica and South America looking
for excitement and adventure,
but down in lower Chesterfield

he had paid for fertilizer this
year and cussing. himself for not
planting short staple cotton last
year when old John gave snort

he saw right there behind him

to wind his snout around him.
With lightning speed he loosed
old John and lighting upon his
back at a single bound he flew
for home with traces and lines
dangling. But soon he heard
Shots and other noises which
told him the elephant was being
chased. He mustered his cour-
age and joined the chase, in
which were men with guns,

SPLENDID REPORTS
FEATURE MEETING
OF THE METHOD|S1S
ALL INTERESTS OF THE CHURCH
MADE PROGRESS DURING
THE YEAR.
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
CULLEOKA, Tenn, April with
the committees all appointed and
most OF them at work on their re.
ports and practically all of the pas.
tors of the district reported, the bus
mess of the district conference of the
Methodist church of the Columbia
district is progressing rapidly.
Probably the most interesting fea-
ture of the conference will be the re-
port of the committee on education,
which will be submitted to the con.
ference tomorrow. The committee is
an unusually strong one. 1t is head
ed by Prof. w. T. Wynn, the presi.
dent of Martin College, Pulaski, one
of the able young educators of this
section. Among the members ire
Prof F. M. Massey, of Massey's
school, Pulaski John H. Dining, of
Columbia, and John P. Graham, of
Culleoka, the county superintendent,
of Maury county.
1t is expected that this committee
will deal with the relations of the
church to Vanderbilt University.
This being the first conference of
Methodists to be held since the su.
preme courts recent decision that
the church had neither ownership or
control of Vanderbilt University, it
is expected that the action of the
conference will sound the keynote OF
the church's future attitude in the
matter.
Members of the committee had a
brief meeting here yesterday after
noon at which it is understood the
Vanderbilt matter was discussed but
nothing was given out as to the con-
clusions reached by the members.
However, it is a pretty safe guess
of the Vanderbilt litigation will be
expressed.
Reports from all of the charges
show that good progress has been
made so far this conference year.
There has been an improvement gen.
orally in the collections, several OF
the churches reported increased at
tendance at the services and also in
the Sunday schools and other inter
ests of the kingdom were advancing
most encouragingly. The best of the
reports submitted was that by Rev
T. L. Moody, the venerable pastor
of the Culleoka charge. DR.. Moody
is the oldest active member of the
Tennessee conference, now being in
the fifty-third year of his ministry
In spite of his advanced years he is
one of the liveliest members on the
, floor of the conference and his re
port showed that during the six
months that he has served this
charge he has been at work all the
, time All of the collections for the
conference year are already in hanG
and every interest of the church flour
, ishing.

activity upon the part of officials
charged with the execution of the
laws. In addition there are reports
on Sunday schools, on Sabbath OBJ
servance, on books and periodicals,
etc., that will be made this after
noon or tomorrow.
Dr.. W. B. Taylor, the presiding ell
der, makes an admirable presiding
officer. While business is duly dis
patched the conference lis never hur-
ried, but the fullest debate is allow
ed upon all questions. A spirit of
harmony and brotherly love pervades
the conference and the spiritual man
is not neglected, two excellent SER
mon being heard on the opening day,
the first at II o'clock being preached
by DR.. Baird and last night Rev. j.
J. Stowe, the presiding elder of the
Franklin district, electrified the i'm
mense audience that crowded the
church with a missionary sermon.
One of the notable features cf the
afternoon session was a spirited ad-
dress by W. R. Bourne, the state high
school inspector, who eloquently
urged the church and its ministers to
take a livlier interest in the public
schools. This address was followed
BY a discussion participated in by
several, including Rev. w. T. Hag-
gard, of Columbia, all Of whom cordi-
ally sanctioned the sentiments ex-
pressed by Mr.. Bourne.
Unbounded hospitality is being
shown the members of the confer
ence and visitors by the people OF
Culleoka. Regardless of church or
creed the homes of the people here
are thrown wide open for the enter
tainment of the conference. The
pastor, Rev. T. L. Moody, and the
chairman of the entertainment com
mittee, Benson Evins, are busy ION

ing every one feel at home. AT
noon each day the ladies of the
church are serving bounteous
lunch at the old Masonic hall.

SEVENTEEN WILL Be
TRIED FOR LARCENY
BY JUDGE mcknight
APRIL DOCKET OF COUNTY GRIM
INAL COURT is A VERY
LENGTHY ONE.

-@NS ~ SNEs
No less than seventeen will be tried
on the charge of larceny at the April
term of the county criminal court.
This is by far the most frequently
charged misdemeanor on the docket,
as set by Judge Mcknight Wednes-
day afternoon. There are the usual
number who are up before his honor
for selling liquor without license, for
carrying weapons, for public drunk
enness, and profanity. But the num-
Der of those who are charged with
purloining that which was not theirs,
of not being able to distinguish or
differentiate clearly and succinctly
between thine and mine, is much larg-
er than it has been for many months.
Evidently, the winter has been a
hard one upon some and they did not
have quite enough rations to last
through until grub became more plen-
tiful.
The bootleggers seem to be thin
ming out considerably. While there
are few that still persist in plying
their trade, yet the number is becom-
ing a very thin black line that is APP
preaching the vanishing point. They
seem to have come to the conclusion
that the county road is rather a hard
road and that there is little chance
to escape if they are caught.
The docket, as set by Judge Nc.
Knight, is as follows:
April Irwin Smith, obstructing
the road.
April 14-Gus Cockrill, Wilkes and
Dobbins, carrying liquor; Will Brown
and Wilson White, carrying liquor;
George Owens, carrying weapons, two
cases; Bud Brown, selling liquor with,
out license; Norman Bats and Will
Chaffin, carrying weapons; B. Alder.
