RIDLEY DAMAGED IN THE
STORM.

Wind and rain late Friday did con-
siderable damage to the mansion
house of William P. Ridley, at histor-
ic Clifton Place, one of the most beau

in the state. A portion of the rear
wall Of the house and the roof was
blown away and smashed in, letting
in perfect deluge of water that did
more damage than the wind. The

residence was soaked with water and
fell off and the wood work was badly
damaged. The loss, while consider
able, is fully covered by insurance

FRANKLIN PEOPLE IN

CITIZENS OF WILLIAMSON ME-.

ATE RATES ARE CHARGED.
r. G. PEOPLES LEADS MOVEMENT
Tennessee Powr CO., Giant Foriqn
Corporation, Changes System Of
Charges and Raises Rates-Proba.
BILE Matter Will Go to Courts.

1t seems that one of our neighbor.
ing metropolises, Franklin, is having
considerable trouble with their light
company these days. From newspa.
per and other reports, it seems that
the citizens have decided to institute
suit against the Tennessee Power Co.
which furnishes them with lights.
The row started in this way. The
water and light plant was originally
owned by the Harpeth Electric Light
& Power Co., the majority of the
stock of which was owned by the ill.,
ly family of Franklin. However
when the Tennessee Power Co., the
giant corporation which developed the
water power at Ocoee Falls In East
Tennessee, got their conduits and
mains to Nashville, they went out to
Franklin and bought out the local
plant from the Lillys with the idea of
furnishing the city with the lights by
means of the power that had been
generated in East Tennessee. When
they made the transfer they changed
completely the system of rates. and
the citizens of this city claim that
they raised them much higher than
they had been, and also fixed a very
arbitrary method for measuring the
amount of electricity that had been
used. This caused very audible pro.
tests in a few weeks after the new
system had been inaugurated, but the
resident manaer of the Tennessee
Power refused by order of the
company to change back to the old
method of measuring the amount Of
electric current used.
Within the past few days, several
of the citizens have refused to nav
their bills on the ground that the
rates were extortionate The leader
of the citizens is Prof. R. g. Peoples.
head of the Battle Ground Academy,
who has dared the company to try to
collect from him or to remove his
meter. He analyses the contract
made by the citizens with the compa.
ny, and claims that it is Illegal. Fol.
lowing him, the other citizens hayeE
put up cry and are preparing to re.
sist the damands of the power com,
pany.
The Tennessee Power company has
somewhat receded from it's stubborn
position that it took at first, but has
not entirely withdrawn or Instituted
the old system of rates. From pres
ent indications, it is probable that the
matter will have to go to the courts
for final settlement. The city OF
Franklin will base it's grounds on the
fact that the contract was not prop
erly drawn, and that therefore it is
not legal. The Tennessee Power Co.
Will insist that it is and therefore
that it is binding.

TEACHERS MEET At
THE COURT HOUSE
IN REGULAR Session
OVER FIFTY BRAVE THE TER
RORS OF WEATHER TO
ATTEND.
GALLOWAY LEADS DISCUSSION
Believes Teachers Should Be Lead
ers in Their Communities In All
Movements-Supt. Graham Testi-
fies to Work Done.

The Maury County Teachers AS
ISOLATION held its regular monthly
meeting in the chancery court room
Saturday morning at II o'clock.
There was no special feature on the
program, and the regular routine was
gone through.
After the invocation the minutes of
the last meeting were read. The roll
| call showed that about fifty of the
members had braved the terrors of
the cold weather to attend the meet
ing. This was considered a very
good number in view of the drop in
the mercury
The subject for discussion was
chapters nine and ten of Country
Life in Schools D. M. Galloway was
the leader for the association. He
stated, in the course of his remarks,
that in the final solution the country
problem must be solved by the coun-
try teacher. He should be the lead
err of all phases of work that go on
in his community. This was so, for
the reason that there are no other
leaders, and therefore the burden OF
directing the activities of his people
must fall on his shoulders. More diff
ferent varieties of knowledge, practi-
cal as well as theoretical, are de-
manded of him than any other. indi-
vidual in the country. The teacher
should be jack of all trades. He
must know not only his own work,
but he should be able to branch out
and have an accurate, exact knowl-
ledge of all things that happen or con-
Germ the welfare Of the people at
large. He should know something OF
agriculture, of school hygiene, of all
the small things that come up in the
course of school life. He should take
the lead in small matters as we'll as
large ones. He must be a janitor, an
architect, man who is willing to do
anything that his hand may find to
do. The teacher is only a servant,
but he ought to be the director and
coach of all that leads to the upbuild-
ing and improvement and unifca-
ton of all the interests of a country
community. The speaker then read
from the text a creed, which he
thought should be the motto of all
who make teaching their life work.
The meeting was then opened up
for discussion, and quite number
gave their experiences in lettering
conditions in their respective commu-
mites. Superintendent Graham told
how the teachers had aroused the civ
ic pride in some sections of the coun-
ty, and stated that $4,000 or $4,000
had been added to the value of school
property of the county through their
efforts. He believed that this was
due mainly to the leadership of the
teachers, who had aroused the civic
spirit of the citizens, and given them
a vision of greater and better things.
He also gave them credit for the es-
tablishment of many libraries in their
sections which had been of incalcula-
BILE benefit and good.
